THE importance of fish ss food sup-
 ply is well illustrated by the york oi
 she general government in propag atine
 all dssirabl varieties ss shown by
 ofioial reports. From these it will be
 seen thst the United States Fish Com
 mission has been exceedingly active during the past ssaeop, and the work
 which has been done is simply enor- nous. The commissioner operated ID twenty five states, located principally l the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, with 8 numbsr of stations on the Great Lakes and foaF in the interior, these last being the states of Colorado, Mon tane, Illinois and Texas. The output during ths past yeGr has been 80O,OO0,- 900 eggs, which have been distributed in the waters of tbe rivers, lakes and at places on She coast. The extent Of the fisheries will be largely increased this year, and new stations are contemplated in Oregon, Washington and California. In the fall the work of planting salmon on the Pacific coast will be resumed. Last year an aggregate of 37 100000 sal mon were planted there. The salmon industry on She Paoifio coast has reach ed vast extent, but is is not yet as sx- tensive as on She Atlantic. Over 99 per cent of the work of the Com mission is devoted to commercial fish, such as salmon, cod, whitefsh, lake trout, shad, pollock, msokeFsl. sea bass, salmon trout and Holsters.

vile, the markets shipped to and
other matters of similar import. He
was apparently pleased to learn that

A FARMERS EXPERIENCE.
An Interesting Account Of How Corn Land
Wheat Was Made to Yield q
Bushels per Acre.

A South Christian farmer was in
our office Friday, July %, and stated
that he sowed 72 acres of corn land
wheat; on. 60 acres he sowed Armer
BonesMeal 100 lbs. to the acre. Nine
acres were sowed without fertilizer.
The 63 acres and the 9 acres were all
in the same field and was the same
grade and character of soil. Sixty
three acres produced II bushels more
per acre than the 9 acres that were
not fertilized He figured the invest
ment out as follows: Fertilizer used
was Armor Bone Meal. He used 100
pounds per acre on 63 acres. This
cost $l50 per 100 pounds or $94.50 for
the GO acres.
He sold his wheat for 65 cents per
buShel and gained II bushels per acre
on 60 acres by using the fertilizer, or
SOB bushels.
This at 65c pei bushel equals $450.45.
Fertilizer $500 lbs at 1.50 cost $3.50
Net profit from using fertilizer $355.O5
And that is not all he was told by
the parties who received his wheat it
was the best No. 2wheat they had re-
ceived This gentlemaD's name will
be furnished our patrons on applica-
