THE FISHERY CONl R::SS
A Purely Business Session Was
 Held.
MR. I. I. CARL TON OF MAINE
Made a Short Talk Showing the Benefits Which Fishing F, Pleasure Had
 Given to His State.

Tampa, Fla, Jan. 2.-The national fishery congress convened in Tampa Bay casino with large number of delegates present. It was purely a business session, and after the opening T. T. Carlton, chairman of the Maine delegation, made a short talk, show ing some of the benefits fishing for pleas ure had given to his state. So well reg ulated it is. he said, the records are kept, and last year over $4.0O0,OOO were spent who went there from other states. As wages are getting lower and the army of the un- employed is growing larger, he thought more attention should be given to fish culture to provide food for the people.
 The committee on resolutions reported and the report was adopted.
 yice-President D. P. Corwin of Pennsyl- vania was called to the chair, and President Cheney read paper on the Hudson river as the original salmon stream.
 Some discussion followed this, which was participated in by M. E. Mehan, Penn sylvania delegate; Mr. Titcombe of Yer mont, and others. which considered also the California rainbow trout and salmon planting in the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers.
 MT. J. M. Wilson of Florida followed with paper on fish farming in Florida.
 Prof H. c Bumpus, of Brown university, Providence, read an interesting paper pointing out how unhealthy fish are for food, handled as they are in the regular channels of trade. He advocated reform in this, and showed that they could be kept in perfect condition with very little trouble and would be worth a great deal more and be more wholesome. His paper attracted great attention and will bear

THE TRUE "EGG TYPE.n

as the "Dciry Form" IL in

Dairymen have long ago found out
that they must breed to certain form.
in order to increase the certainty OF
securing productive dairy animals;
but with the great bulk of those who
keep fowls for profit "a hen is hem
whatever her shape or her external
characteristics. Poultry is unproiita-
bic to many, ard of only small profit to
very many others, for the simple rea'
son that from one-third to two-thirds
of the flock consists of inferior layers.
The good layers in the flock may be
able to support the others and pay a
small profit, or they may not be in SUI
fcient numbers to cause any profit at
all to appear. Just as the dairyman
weeds out the poor performers at the
pail, so the poultryman must weed out
the poor layers and give the good lay
ers a chance to yield a favorable profit
One method of wedding out the poor
performers is by taking careful note
of form and outward characteristics

soon learn to pick out the poorest lay

Liberal feeding OF the young and
growing colt is as necessary to make a

\ small feed of oil meal in the grain
keeps colt healthy and laxative and

Roots, especially carrots, are mos:
excellent for colts and horses when
fed in moderate quantities.
The education of the horse should
begin at very early age and be con-
tinued until it is wei! trained.
Horses should not be put on the mar
ket before they are five or six years
old and should always be well train ed,
well groomed, and in good condition
when offered for sale.
Allow the horse water often and be-
fore feeding grain rather than imme-
diately after.
Too much coarse fodder should not
be fed at once. Hundreds of horses are
ruined every year by too much hay at
a feed. 1t must be borne in mind tina:
the stomach Of the horse is small.
The colts foot should be trimmed
into shape with the farrier's plnchers,

this will save many defects in hoots
