Temperance Women and Suffrage.

In regard to the wisest attitude to be
taken by temperance women during suf-
frage amendment campaigns, experienced
suffragsts must say to Miss Willard, as
Miss Willard has said to Lady Henry
Somerset, that, however good her inten-
tions, she has made great mistake.
Every person of sense knows that in every
campaign for equal suffrage, the liquor
interest will fight us ''for all it is worth. :"
Nobody proposes to undertake the hope
less task of trying to conciliate the liquor
interest. The question is not whether it
is worth while to conciliate the liquor in
terest, but whether it is best to antagonize
the mass of men. In State where the
majority of men do not believe in prohibit
ton, will it help OF hurt suffrage amend,
ment for women to 60 about prOclaiming
that they want the ballot for the sake of
getting prohibition? To ask the question
is to answer it. When suffrage amend
ment is pending, women of all shades of
opinion should make the simple justice of
their right to the ballot the basis of their
claim, and not 60 too much into particulars
as to what they mean to do with it after
they get it. This is the plainest common
sense. Women who adopt the contrary
course will hinder the success of the very
movemen Mt which they honestly wish to
serve. Woman S journal.

doubtless lose part of the solutions, and
all of your patience, getting disguised
with the whole thing.
For every 10 gallons desired, put five gal
Ions water (soft water should be used) into

the other barrel. Do not mix the two until
ready for use.
When ready for spraying, put thirty

Thoroughly stir contents of each barrel.
Add to water in hogshead, 5 gallons Of
the lime water, straining through close
burlap sack; stir WELL then add gallons
of the blue vitriol water. Mix thoroughly,
and it is now ready for use. Remember
to stir mixture every time the sprayer is
filled. 1t requires about so gallons per
acre. Cost should not exceed ! cent per
gallon. After using Bordeaux mixture
three years, l find that it not only pre-
vents rot, but by holding the tops green
a longer time, insures a larger yield. For
killing potato bugs, use one pound Paris
green to 80 gallons of Bordeaux mixture.

green separately with powder gun.

hat Measures of Protection Shall be Adopted

" HUI HtubuFtS Vi TfOltCtlUH SHill Ut AuUpttU ~
Saye Them.
The wary, flashing mackerel claimed
the attention of the Massachusetts Fish
and Game Protective Association at its
first meeting after the summer vacation,
in Boston, Nov. 11th About 35 members
were present and all agreed that measures
should be taken to prevent the extermina-
ton of that handsome fish about the
shores Of the United States, a process
which it was thought is well under way.
Mr.. E. E. Small, who has made a
close study of the habits of the mackerel,
as we'll as it's captors, read paper on the
subject, beginning with the statement
that the association is not an enemy of the
honest fisherman, the members being
sportsmen themselves. He said the
mackerel are lost sight of about Cape
Hatteras in the fall. They are then fat
whence, in the spring at about the same
place. Then they are lean, emaciated and
not fit for food.
A large portion of them would undoubt-
eddy reach the New England coast to
spawn, but almost at the very start they
are met by the deadly purse seine of the
southern fleet and slaughtered. From 125
to 175 of these fish are required to make
up marketable barrel, and it was estim-
ated that there were about 40, 600, 900 eggs
in every barrel of fish caught.
Mr.. Small then showed that the catch
is rapidly becoming smaller, while in
years in which there was legislation pro
tecting the fish during the spawning sea-
son there was an increase. 1t would be
useless, he thought, to enact laws to pro-
tect the mackerel in the spawning season,
however, unless they were also protected
until they reach a mature age.
There were three ways which he sug
gested to remedy the evil. One was the
re-enactment of the law of 1887, which
provides that any vessel taking fish before
June l shall not only forfeit the fish, but
be made perpetual, instead of remaining
should be law prohibiting the catching
of fish under 10 inches in length. The
third method required no legislation; it
was simply law of reason and common
sense.
eff every one would consider for a mo-
ment the facts and the results" said Mr..
Small, 81 do not believe that any person
who desires conscientiously to protect
mackerel, shad or paddock will ever eat one
during the spawning season. In the larg-
er number of instances, when we eat a
mackerel between March l and June Is,
we have assisted in annihilating from
300, 900 to $50, 900 of that species. The
most effective method of preventing the
taking of the fish is not to eat them, and
create lack of patronage Eminent au-
thorities say that the sea will never be de-
pleted SO long as fish are protected dur
ing the spawning season and until they
reach maturity"
