The Growth of Oysters.

A matter of some Importance to
oystermen and one that, until recent
ly, has been merely subject of con-
lecture, has been settled by Mr.. M.
Wachmuth of Oysterville. This is
the matter of the growth Of oysters as
to what size they will attain in GER
tain length of time Mr.. Wachsmnth
has determined by unerring expert
ment that oysters will attain the size
O. ten-cent piece within three
months from the time the spawn is
deposited. 1t had hitherto been con-
tended that it would take year or
even longer time for oysters to at
tain that size. Mr.. Wachsmuth be-
lieves that these bivalves grow much
more rapidly than has hitherto been
supposed. Bend Pilot.

Putting in Zig Salmon Trap.

A large salmon trap is being built
on the northeast shore of Point De-
fiance by the American Fish Company
OF Tacoma. II is the intention Of the
company to catch salmon during the
silverside run for the lower Sound can
neries and for the general market.
A pile driver is at work driving the
piles and the piles already driven pre-
sent formidable looking line of pro-
iecting sticks. The piles are SO ar
ranged that the nets can be hung on
them, and fence thus made that the
fish, by their instinct to follow as close
to the shore as possible and keep 'hefl
noses in the swift water, that ',drrFes
around the point, will swim right
along the sides of the yielding laths
that make V-shaped entrance to the
trap.
The silyerside salmon have begun tG
run in the bay, and it is expected that
within two or three weeks they will he
here in schools that will furnish good
commercial returns.
The American Fish Company will
probably be ready to receive the fish
at their new trap the last OF the week
and the reception will be a warm one
The piles of the trap can be seen from
the bathing places at Point Defiance
Park
On the lower Sound fish traps are
common, but this is the first one that
has been built near Tacoma for years,
if not the first of all in the vicinity

Early Refrigeration.

The most ancient method Of making ice
is practiced in India. Holes are made in
the ground, dry straw is put at the bottom
of these, and on it at the close Of the day
are placed pans of water which are left
until the next morning, when the ice that
is found within the pans is collected. This
industry is carried on only in districts
where the ground is dry and will readily
absorb the vapor given off from the water
in the pans The freezing, of course, is
due to the great amount of heat absorbed
by the yapor in passing from its liquid to
its gaseous form.
Another process was practiced in the
day Of ancient Rome when the wealthy
are said to have had their wines cooled by
having the bottles placed in water into
which saltpeter was thrown, the bottles
being the while rotated.
DIR. Cullen in 1865 discovered that the
evaporation Of water could be facilitated by
the removal of the pressure of the atmos-
phere, and tnat by doing this water could
be frozen. Nairn in 1777 discovered that
sulphuric acid would absorb the vapor of
water If placed in a second vessel separate
from that containing the water, but con-
nected with it, This discovery he put to
use in 1910 by constructing an apparatus
for absorbing the vapor of the water that
1t was desired to cool or freeze. This ap-
paratus greatly facilitated the freezing
operations of vacuum freezing machine.

Both must be good to win. The
prize, ranging from EGO to e40, is not
paid until after two years, and is
forfeited if the bull is parted with.
This induces the owner to keep him,
and he practically becomes the bull
for the parish, to which all the good
COWS in it are bred. Animals are
registered, but the owners know lit
tie or nothing about pedigrees.
They know the sire and dam of an
animal they own, but that is about
all.
The result of this kind of breed
ing is that little account is taken of
pedigrees or families, but large
stress is laid on individuality. 1t is
the individuality of the bull and his
dam that makes him winner, and
he is probably always the descend
ant of winner on the sire's side at
least, and probably on that of the
dam as well.
