Lake Erie nmd OF Ghe FFmeAs.
One night last week a passenger
coach was set out at the Montpel-
ier depot bearing the words
"United States Fish Commission. /"
Upon investigation it was learned
that it contained 100000 fish
eggs and was a car built specially
for the carrying and Matching of
fish. The spawn came from the
U. s. hatcheries on Lake Erie and
the car was in charge of A. N.
Musser, fish and game warden Of
Utah.
After arriving the process OF
Matching the eggs began, and with
great success, and Thursday the
three million of little finnies were
taken to Fish Haven and umped
into Bear lake. 1t will be three
or four years before they are large
enough to eat and produce spawn.
Each female after attaining a
weight of two pounds will lay
from $4,000 to $4,000 eggs during
a season. Thus it will be seen
that in few years, if they do we'll,
the lake will be we'll supplied with
white fish.
ABOUT THE FISH.
The white fish is said to be the
finest favored of all the fresh
water fish, and they are free from
bones. They will have to be
caught with a seine or some kind
of net as they will not take a
hook. Mr.. Musser informed the
EXAMINER that in his opinion Bear
lake was the best body of water in
the inter-mountain country for
them, and he predicts great success
with this lot. They are trans
ferred to their new home in the
best of condition 80 that it all lays
with the water ard altitude as
their thrift. In Utah lake they
have grown fast and seem to do
well, and it is not nearly so good
lake for the purpose as is Bear
lake.
Mr.. Musser says also that as soon
as they are large enough for eating
q great industry will be built up,
supplying the iwtar- mountain coun-
try with white fish.
Later it is the intention of the
Commissioner to stock the lake
with black bass and allow them to
find their way into the mountain
streams. The game warden
thought they would also do well
in this section.
The stocking of these lakes has
long been one of Mr.. Musser's de-
sires and to his efforts is due the
present shipment and likewise the
thanks Of this entire section.

canaigre is just now attracting mark
ed attention. Companies have been
organized and cultivation is being
entered upon in very systematic
manner. and on a large scale.
The New Mexico College of Agricul
ture has experimental with canaigre
and found that it thrives admirably
under cultivation, the yield of mar
ketable root being somewhat more
than ten tons to the acre. Some pri
vate experimenters have stated that
twenty tons per acre have been OBJ
tanned The Bulletin of the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Station puts
the yield at 1880 pounds per acre,
put states that this can be doubled
by thorough and careful cultivation.
This bulletin also states that with
the improved machinery on the mar
ket, the root can be grown at a cost
not exceeding So per ton placed in
warehouses or f. o. b. ears. This es-
innate cannot include first expense of
seed root, or would not cover such
lost of root delivered in Florida, be-
.ause of the cost of transportation,
which is not far from $50 per ton
from the nearest available point in
the west from which the wild root
can be obtained. Most of the root now
shipped from the west for CONNER
cial purposes is sliced and dried,
about three and one-half tons of
green root making one ton when pre-
pared for shipping. In the Euro
pean markets, to which most of the
root finds it's way, it commands eight
English pounds (about $4O) per ton.
Deming, n. M, has a large plant
for extracting the tannic acid. For
the green root, just as taken from
the ground, the owners of this estab-
lishment pay about 81 per ton. No
preparation of the root is necessary
to fit it for the extract works Or for
dIO ~ OOCdIAA oOOh
root, the smaller pieces are picked
out for the purpose, and an inch is
cut from the upper or seed end of the
large roots. These are planted as the
farmer plants Irish potatoes, and the
method of cultivation later does not
differ materially from that employ
ed in Irish potato growing. The cu1-
tivation does not seem to be intri
cate or difficult.
Is canaigre adapted to Florida?
This is the question now being solved
by a gentleman who has dug and
shipped more of the wild root than
has any other man in the United
States, and who is also cultivating
largely on his extensive plantation at
Hockey, Tex. This gentleman has
leased about 5000 acres of wild can
aigre fields in Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona, the leases covering the

Oanaigre in Florida.

Uanalgre IN Florida.
The following excellent and in
structive paper on the cultivation of
canaigre was prepared by Mayor
Mahlon Gore of Orlando for the infor-
nation of the Orlando Board of
Trade:
During the past few years canaigre
has come prominently to the front as
one of the most valuable of the eco
nOmic plants native to the American
continent It's home in it's wild state
is in Old and New Mexico, Central
Texas, Arizona, and Southern Cali
districts. Canaigre is an American
corruption of the Spanish 'cana
agria" (sour cane), by which designa-
tion the plant is chiefly known in
Mexico. In other localities it has such
popular names as tanners dock, y
red dock" and ''wild rhubarb." 1t
is said to be used to some extent by
Indians and Mexicans for food, the
stalks being prepared as we prepare
rhubarb or pieplant. In the tuberous
roots, however, lies it's chief value.
These have from an early period been
used by MeXicans for tanning skins,
the method being to prepare vats by
sinking holes in the adobe soil, into
which the natives put the skins and
crushed roots and fill in the vats with
water, leaving the mass to perform
it's work. By this simple process is
said to be made leather remarkable
for its pliability and strength. 1t was
the superior quality of the leather
thus tanned that first attracted the at
tention of Wide-awake Americans to
the probable commercial value of the
root.
Chemicalanalysis shows the root to
contain from 20 to % per cent of tan
mic acid. Practical experiment proves
: that it contains other properties an
alagous to gambler, an article used
bark are employed, and obtainable
only in Morocco, from which the i'm
portations to this country amount to
millions of dollars annually. Practi-
cal tanners state that in the produc-
tion of leather through the use of
canaigre gambler can be entirely dis
pensed with, and an equally good
quality of leather produced.
The chief supply of canaigre root
comes from the wild fields on the
plains of the southwest; but these
wild fields are fast being depleted,
and, as the demand is continually in
creasing, both in this country and in
Europe, cultivation must be resorted
to or the supply will in time be ex-
hausted. Plantations have been start
ed in Texas, New Mexico, and Califor-
MIA. In the latter state especially,

tober, and during the winter both
tops and roots make a vigorous
growth. By the following May the
annual growth ceases, the top dies
off, and the tubers lie in the ground
in a dormant state unless harvested y
The yield of marketable roots tha
we have reason to expect, Judging
from the experience so far, is proba-
bly, in the neighborhood of ten tons
per acre. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that no expectations of fabulous or
speedy wealth from growing canaigre
need be indulged in. On the other
hand, it appears not too much to
acre where the crop is properly cared
for; and this is as staple as the crops
of corn and wheat grown upon the
farms of the north or the cotton
plantations of the southern states.
Such return would be eminently
satisfactory to the average northern
farmer, and in Florida are hundreds
of thousands of acres from which ono
might fairly look for such returns in
the cultivation of this plant.
In this connection let me speak of
canai9re in connection with our ma
tive saw-palmetto. That this last
named and thoroughly despised plant
contains valuable tanning qualities
has been demonstrated. This is no
longer an experiment. 1t has passed
the experimental stage. While both
plants are, however, valuable, individ-
tally, they give the best results in
combination. Practical experiments,
made by tanners, not in collusion
with one another, or having knOwl-
edge of the tests of one another, have
shown that the combined extracts of
the two plants form the most perfect
tanning preparation of which the
world has knowledge. No addition of
chemicals of gambler is necessary.
One of these plants we have in SUI
pera bundance; the other is surely
coming. Thus, we are to have the
essential basic elements for one of
the grandest industries in the United
States within our reach, and nature
has provided that in the possession of
these the north cannot compete with
us. We can have, owing to climatic
conditions, a monopoly of the leather
industry of this country.

privilege of gathering the wild root
for a term of years.
That a man having so much at
stake should conduct his experiments
with system and extreme caution is
natural. Three years have elapsed
since he first planted as an expert
ment in this state. This experiment
was made at Waldo, and the result
was such as to induce planting on
much larger scale. Orlando was fOr-
tunate in securing this large plant
ing. The Waldo experiment covered
only few rods of ground, which was
increased to an acre or two the sec
ond year. The first planting here was
i'm the latter part of last January and
early part of February. In June and
July the second lot of seed root was
planted, and in the vicinity of Or
Iando is now growing more than sew
enty acres of canaigre.
To plant this, four carloads of seed
root were sent from Western Texas
at cost of 1892 per car for freight
alone. To this can be added the val
lie of the seed root in Texas or the
cost Of gathering from the wild fields,
hauling distance of eighteen miles
to a railroad station, and the cost of
rental, preparation of the ground,
planting, and cultivation here.
This, as before stated, has been
borne by a nonresident of the state,
gentleman who had no interests
here until he began these expert
ments, but who states that the plant
thrives here better than it does in
any other place in which he has seen
it growing; and several analyses
show that the Florida grown root is
as rich in tannic acid as that grown
on it's native heath. This gentleman,
r. j. Kerr, has surely shown his faith
in canaigre and in Florida in man
ner that is beyond question. More
than this, he stands pledged to erect
here the necessary extract works to
convert the plant into commercial
tannic acid so soon as the cultivation
of the plant shall be sufficient to fur
nish the requisite quantity of root to
Justify the undertaking. The fnan
cial condition of the citizens of Or
lando is unfortunately such as to pre-
vent them from cooperating with Mr..
Kerr and speeding the day when such
a plant can be put in successful Oper-
alton here.
The plants grown here have so far
received no fertilization of any sort,
and yet they have made and are MAX
ing a very satisfactory growth,
though better results can probably be
obtained by fertilizing than without
it.

Even people of mature years
whose memory is clear about
matters before and during the
war have practically forgotten
that Henry Ward Beecher used
his pulpit in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn. as an auction block
for slaves. The most famous of
his "slave sales was that of the
beautiful girl, Sarah, and it was
upon this occasion that the most
exciting scenes ever witnessed
IN Plymouth Church, or in any
other American church for that
matter, occurred. Mr.. Beecher
was unusually dramatic: he put
a fire into his words, as he stood
the slaye girl OF the platform
beside him, which fairly burned
into the hearts of his auditors.
1t was not long before the peo
pie became almost hysterical
with excitement. But Beecher
kept on until he was ready to
pass the collection baskets.
Then the auditors gave vent to
their feelings, and not only
heaps of money was put into
the baskets but men and women
took off their rings, unfastened
their watches and threw them
into the baskets and on the plat.
form. 1t was a remarkable
scene, and such one as prob
ably will never be equaled in this
country. Mrs. Beecher recalls
the event with wonderful vivid.
