FISH AND GAME. A report of the fish

show that the law for the protection of
Holsters has worked we'll 1t is said that
Portland alone has shipped this year L.
600, 900 more Holsters than last, which in
crease is more than the whole catch of
Massachusetts. The immense gain, it is
estimated, would be the natural produc-
tion of but thirty five hundred HOLSTERS, so
prolific fish is it. Good Judges do not
think that the recent attempt to trans
plant the lobster to the Pacific will be
successful, as conditions there are not ia
vorable.. One of the leading members of
the committee on seashore fisheries says
he does not think there will be any lob

in the sea surrounded by its 3, POO lobster

money invested in the construction OF
the roads. after going through numer-
Gus channels Of trade, would find its
way back to the pockets of those from
whom ii had been taken for a good pur
pose,
There should be permanently en-
ployed few men with pick and shovel,
to make necessary repairs, drain the
roads after heavy rains, etc. This
would save considerable money to every
town. and our roads would by rational
work always be in good condition. Now,
as mentioned before, great deal could
be done to improve our roads; but such
statements as we often hear-that "the
roads are in worse condition than they
were so years ago is surely over
drawn. This is comparatively a new
country and cannot compare with Euro
pean countries. During the past As
years, in our own town, we have cleared
the land from heavy timber, stones and
stumps, drained mud holes and swamps,
built substantial barns and houses,
raised blooded stock of all kinds, and
kept the roads in as good condition as
we know how, But laws that were all
right in colonial times should be abol-
ished, that 'ye may keep up with the
progress of the times.-A. Selle, in

A Martyr te Melons.

The melon crop was short this year,
and a southwest Georgia farmer who
had practically "cornered" it in his
neighborhood had suffered seriously
from the deprecations Of some of the
hungry colored brethren. So he gave
out that he had poisoned his melons,
and after the news went forth he
ceased to miss them.
Night after night an old negro who
lived near the finest melon patch had
gazed at their green sides with hungry
eyes, but the thought of the poison
kept him hungry still.
One moonlight night, however, his
appetite got the best of him. lie
looked in the direction of the melons
long and earnestly; then shouldering
a sack, he started off.
"In de name of goodness, Rufus,
whar You gwine?" asked his wife.
The old man turned, pointess TO the
melon patch and said, slowly and sol
emnly:
I'm a-gwine whar dem melons isl"
"But-dey's p'isoned!"
81 know dey isl But I'm gwine ter
take my death. Pray fer me !"-Atlan-

Creameries and Coed Roads.

The Mankato (Nlinn.) Free Press says
that the establishment of creameries
is becoming potent argument for good
roads. The daily trip to them with the
milk must be made regardless of mud
and wet or if the mud be ankle deep
for milk is perishable product, Then,
even when the road is dry, the milk, Of
course, is injured by the churning re-
ceived on the journey over the rough
roads. The farmer is, therefore, begin
ming to perceive the direct money value
OF road improvement. The Free Press
adds that the creamery is becoming the
focus at which better roads center.

MILK CAN TROUGH.

This affords room for eight cans Il
inches in diameter and l6 inches deep.
The trough is sunk in the ground in
front of the pump curb, in such po-
sition that all waste water is dis
charged into it and out through an
opposite end, which aids in keeping
the water cool during the day. The
trough is emptied and reflled night
and morning. A neatly-fitting lid of
the same material fits TO the top and
on extra hot days several pieces of old
carpet are thrown over the lid. To
make it water tight two rods are
fastened through each end and the nuts
drawn up moderately tight. Before
joining the edges together they should
be daubed with white lead to more
closely close up all the creyiees.-Farm

FIRST NEWSPAPER SUPPRESSED.
Boston Publisher Prevented from
Carrying Out His Truthful Ideas.

1t is curious to compare the latter-day
standards of journalistic enterprise
with those of Benjamin Harris, the pub
Usher of the first English newspaper
printed in America. This was issued
from a Boston press in 1890, and was
entitled Publick 0ccurranees, both For
eign and Domestick. Among the aims
announced by Harris was to do some-
thing toward the curing, or at least
the charming, of that Spirit of Lying,
which prevails among us" He. there
fore, declared that nothing should be
admitted to the columns of his paper
save what he had reason to believe
was true, and that in quest of such
material he would repair 10 the best
fountains of information.
In his very candid prospectus Harris
adds: "When there appears any ma
tcrial mistake in anything that is coll
leeted. II shall be corrected in the next.
Moreover, the Publisher of the Occur
RANGES is willing to engage, that where
az, there are many False Reports, ma
liciously made, and spread among us,
ii any well-minded person will be at
the pains to trace any such false Re
port. so far as to find out and Convict
the First Raiser of it, he win in this
PEPPER (unless just Advice be given TO
the contrary expose the Name Of such
person. as A malicious Raiser of False
Report. 1t is supposed that none Will
dislike this Proposal but such as intend
10 be guilty of so villainous Crime"
The general court Of Massachusetts,,
appreciating the disturbance to the
peaee of the community likely to at
tend the carrying out Of such pro-
g~amme as this, promptly suppressed
Harris paper, and it was IS years later
before anybody found courage enough
T. make another and less periious es-
say in the same field.-N. y. Times.

Training Up the Heifer.

Train up a heifer in the way she
should go, and when she tecomes cow
she will not depart froa il. With her
first calf, the young coss, should be
kept in milk as long as possible, because
that is what she is wanted to do all OF
her productive life. If she dries up
early. the next year the habit will make
an effort to repeat itself, and the next
also, and also the next, and so on. By
careful feeding and encouraging treat
ment persuade the inexperienced heifer
to continue in milk as long as she will
agree TO, and the next season have her,
by similar means, eXceel her previous
record. until three or four weeks of
drought is all she win demand.-Da-

The KlNGFISHER.

A fash of blue and a gutteral cry,
And l see a kingfisher dashing by.
sudden splash and a surge of foam,
And he bears fish to his sand-bank home
Listen again for that loud, harsh noise,
And watch him over a calm pool polse;
Ihen with weird. entieing scream,
Reckoning on for a race up stream.
Through the mists where the cascades fall
The haleyon lures with his fearless call.
And then he laughs from a willow bough.
AS much as to say: Where are you now %
With his breast of white and his belt of
blue,
lie awaits an admiring glance from you;
Then off and away with a mocking cry
A flash of blue on an April sky.

How 10 Prevent BIackIeg.

Blackleg is something to be dreaded
by dairymen and stockmen, especially
those who make a speciality of raising
calves. Prevention is better than cure.
A reliable prevention OF baclleg in
calves is said to be a mixture consisting
of ten pounds of sulphur, six pounds
of copperas, three pounds Of saltpetre
and three pounds of Stacked lime. Pull
verize and mix them, and use in the salt
trough in the proportion Of pint of the

FIox Is an E.boustive Crop.

Some western farm journals are won-
dering why flax is not more grown
than ii is The reason is that it is very
crop and can only be grown
profta5ly where fertility is little re-
garded or where there is good market
for both fiber and seed. 1t is good
sign for western farmers that tlaN
growing as it was practicsd few years
ago is going out of their farm rota-
tion. The stalk and fibrr were always
thrown away. Only the seed was mar
keted, and this sold SO low that the
raw seed, or, better still, daXseed meal.
was one of the cheapest fertilizers that
can be used, Not until we have mills
for making linen cloth and con
veniences for separating 'he fiber from
the stalk will fax growing be profitable
in this country. When both seed and
fiber can be sold the croJ will pay for
the heavy manuring it requires to keep
the land fertile.-American Cultiyator.

ONLY a Brush Pile,

Late Saturday afternoon the fire
whistle blew on the strength of an
alarm, turned in by Miss Lamb, who
lives in Alma cottage, at Waikiki and
No l Engine Company was sent out
to the place. When they got to the
Hopkins switch, word came by a mes
senger that the fire was nothing more
than a pile of brush burning back of
Alma cottage. 1t seems that Miss
Lamb was across the way from her
place when a Chinaman came running
out shouting that a house was burn
ing down. The lady ran into the cot
tage, and, seeing the blaze through a
window, telephoned for the depart
ment. After the alarm had been
turned in, Miss Lamb found that it was
only a bonfire, and tried to warn the
Fire Department in time, but it was
too late.

such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the DOCTOR
