According to the recent annual report
of Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries
Brice, no less than 4S.000000 shad eggs
were collected, and from these S3,OOO,-
900 fry were planted into streams emp
tying into the Atlantic ocean and the
Gulf of Mexico. The increase in shad
eggs collected was 30,O0O,OOO over the
previous year and if bill now before

coast, and result in an immense in
crease in the output of this species. The
output of lobster fry was $1,000, ,0OC
against 72,000,OO0 for the previous year,
and Commissioner Brice says that there
is little doubt that the output in an
other year will be increased more than
100 per cent. While the attempt to
keep up the constantly decreasing sup
ply of mackerel along the New England
coast was more or less experimental,
24.0O0.000 eggs were collected. Thirty
one million tautog clam eggs were col
lected in Buzzard's bay and 100000
fry were liberated from them.

A clergyman speaking in his pulpit
recently gave utterance to the often
repeated declaration that no man ever
honestly accumulated million dollars
His mistake was in neglecting to spec
ify employments. The statement would
perhaps be true that no man ever hon
estly earned a million dollars laying
bricks. but it Is also true that man
could honestly earn a million dollars
by his services in caring for great in
terests worth a hundred millions
There has been at least one instance in
which man was paid during few
years three times a million dollars for
exceptional service in behalf of vast
pecuniary interests, and not one of the
wise business men most interested
found fault with this valuation of the
honest and faithful work he had done
Bank robbers and highwaymen also

An exchange states that France has
lately been flooded with foreign copper
coins, especially those of Greece and
the Argentine Republic. This has
brought about an acute crisis, leading
to riots and fights in Lyons and Mar
seilles. The matter has been laid be-
fore the chamber, but the government,
although taking prohibitive measures
against the circulation of foreign copper
coins. refused to be held responsible.
The municipal council of Bordeaux has
just passed a resolution calling upon
the government to withdraw the money
from circulation by paying 1t at par.

Care of Orchards,

Continuous cultivation of the soil
should be kept up from now on, till
all danger from severe drought has

Of borers, grubs, caterpillars, scale,
insects, ETC., will emerge from the en-
bryotic state and make war upon the
fruit trees. Armed with the proper
spraying apparatus and mixtures, the
orchardist should be early in the field
prepared to battle against enemies of
both trees and fruit. Even though
you do not find them upon inspection,
use the ounce of prevention by apply
ing the proper remedies.
But few of our orchards thin out the
crop properly when the trees are over
loaded, perhaps some think it waste
full, and others do not seem to under
stand that the thinning process is the
secret of raising fruit of better quail
lty and larger size, such as the de-
mands OF the market require. Peaches,
plums, apricots and pears are most
liable to overbear every other year.
They should be attended to and the
surplus thinned out in time.
In curing and preparing the fruit
for market, every effort should be made
to place it in more attractive form.
1t pays to use the best quality in the
dried article as we'll as for canning.
The poorer grades of dried fruit be-
come drug on the market, while the

prices and pay well for the care taken
in their preparation.
Our orchardists should also inaugu-
rate some movement looking towards
securing cannery for this valley the
coming season.

Milk Fever Cure.

DR.. Greedy, who is considered first
class authority ON such matters, has
this to say regarding Milk Fever"
The disease is due to an improper con-
dition and lack of exercise. 1t is a
disease that attacks COWS that are STALL
fed, rarely attacking those that are
turned on pasture. The best method
is prevention; this is done by keeping
on low diet, with plenty of exercise.
A few days before due to calvs give a
good dose of physic, such as six ounces
of Glauber and EPSON salt and four
drops of Croton oil dissolved in luke
warm water. This is also to be given
when first stricken with the disease.
Keep the COW standing, if possible,
as there is more hope of recovery. 1t
may be necessary to put sling under
the cow, but the sling will be of no
use unless the COW is able to support
herself. If she hangs in the sling and
will not support herself, then the
sling will do more harm than good
Keep in warm place. with plenty
OF bedding; turn over from side to
side every four hours.
Give warm soapsuds injections three
times daily, and put in each injection
a tablespoonful of laudunum.
Give cooling drinks of oatmeal water
and keep up the strength by eggnoggs
made of milk one pint, two eggs and
a wineglass of whisky. Apply hot
cloths over kidneys.
If the COW swells up with wind or
gas, let the wind out by tapping with
a long, narrow knife. Insert the
knife on the median line between the
last rib and point of hip.
The uterus must be cleaned out by
injecting weak warm carbolic solu-
ton (about one quartz two times daily,
and give the following prescription:
Aconite root tincture, 2 drachms.
Tinct. veratrum verdi, 2 drachms.
Sweet spirits inter, ounces.

1t was intimated recently that the
tariff fixed on olives and olive oil by
the House would be altered by the
Senate and the figures materially re-
duced, says the San Jose Mercury. In
consequence of this rumor the olive
growers in Santa Clara and other coun-
ties have felt some anxiety concerning
the fate of those schedules. The
rates decided upon by the Ways and
Means Committee and adopted by the
House were for green or prepared
olives, in bottles, jars or similar pack
ages, % cents per gallon for green or
prepared olives in casks, or otherwise
than in bottles or jars, 10 cents per
gallon; for olive oil, 80 cents per gal
lon.
In response to a letter of inquiry
written by Colonel Weaver, President
of the Board of Trade, Congressman
Loud has replied that no change has
been made in those rates and that the
interests of the California growers OF
olives and of fruits and nuts generally
will be carefully looked after by the
California delegation. Congressman
Loud understands how important 1t is
to the fruit-growers of this State that
their products receive adequate protec.
ton, and his loyalty to his State and
to his district will prompt him to
watch carefully the course of the tariff
bill III the Senate and to head off any
attempt to so alter the rates on fruits,
nuts and oil at present embodied in the
Dingley bill, as to cause the tariff OF
those products to fall short of the pur
pose of the bill.
But even with this assurance, thu
fruit-growers should keep in daily
touch with the proceedings in the Sen
ate and be prepared to resist any posi-
BILE attack ON the fruit schedule by tn,
Democrats, silver Republicans or tn,
New York importers. 1t cannot yet b.
foreseen what conditions may arise il
the Senate or what the attitude of tn,
Democrats toward the tariff as a whole
or toward the fruit schedule or an,
other detail of the bill, will be. Tn
only safe course therefore is for tn

igency and to combat any opposition
