with his neighbors over his "carp-pigs.
 The most inveterate enemy of the carp is the black bass. The bass will leave any other food when he can find young carp. He will freely battle to the death with a carp twice his size.
 In the streams the bass will multiply without the assistance of the hatchery and requires only to be planted. Un- like the trout, the bass will care for it's own eggs and young fish. The two mates will rub out nest, where the eggs are laid, and will produce the eggs. stirring them gently with their fins till the eggs are matched. Keeping the young fry in a brood just as a hen would, they watch over the young ones till the egg sac has been absorbed and the fry must hunt for food. The par ents then turn on the little ones and eat those who do not get out of the way. HELEN GREY.

during the winter season.
 One day last season 499 spawn fish were handled, yielding 2,220,000 eggs. A record for rapid work was established upon that day. The crew handled 190 female salmon in one hour and took over 1.0O0,0OO eggs.
 The eggs are removed from the spawning house to the hatcheries in buckets, which are hauled in a spring wagon to the hatchery buildings. They are placed in small wire baskets, ob-

The war with Spain has caused 8 scarcity of pineapples. which delicious fruit comes largely from the Bahama Islands, and which has hitherto been brought to our markets principally by small vessels flying the American flag. The owners of many of the boats, fearing the capture of their property by Spanish ships have withdrawn them from service; and consequently the supply of pineapples has diminished as freight rates have increased.

At the Ukiah hatchery the eggs in the trays are placed in troughs through which water runs after fall of a few inches. This slight fall charges the water with oxygen for the eggs as well as the fish.
 Tt is not true" Mir. La Motte said, that trout die after spawning. If they die it is a sure indication of careless handling. I always return the fish to the creeks and after they have rested they go back down stream. How long a fish lives we have never been able to determine, but you have heard of the carp at Heidelberg which has been a prisoner for over a hundred years"
 After the eyes have set in the eggs the fish are packed in trays. These trays are made by tacking canton fan nel on frames fitted into a crate and carefully covered with moss.

nature must be helped out or our
 supply of fish would soon fail to meet the demand
 Governor Flower, in an address be- fore an agricultural society in New York, says that "a trout brook used us ually only for watering the stock might be made to yield larger returns than thirty acres of farm land"
 The Germans were the first to experi- ment scientifically in fish raising, and our Government soon followed. All over the United States are Government and private hatcheries for raising fish to stock the rivers and lakes of the country.
 Ten years ago Mexico asked the United States Government to send her a man who would be competent to ex- anime her lakes and rivers and find out why they were barren of fish. Since the advent of the Spaniards no fish could be found and the Mexican savants had been unable to discover the cause.
 MT. 4. V. La Motte was chosen to go He examined the waters, but they were all right, and the theory is that earth quake shocks were responsible for the death of the fish. The agitation of the water bottoms destroyed the eggs.

 The spawning crew begins work. By means of dip nets the fish are removed in pairs from the tanks.
 The salmon having been stripped of milt and spawn are u rown into large bins, where they soon die. They are then given to the public for food. Many of the poorer class of people in the vii cinity pack the fish in brine for use CREW AT WORK

A New Discovery, But Not n Patent Med
lclne.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count Of what he considers a remarkable
cure OF acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use Of the new discovery,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate
seemed TO sour and create acid and gases
In the stomach; he had pains like rheuma-
tism in the back. shoulder blades ana
limbs, fullness and distress after eating
poor appetite and loss Of flesh. the heart
became affected, causing palpltatlon ana
sleeplessness at night.
gave him powerful nerve tonlcs and
blood remedies but TO no purpose. As an
experiment I finally bought n hfty-cent
package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets al
drug store and gave them 10 him. Al
most immedltae relief was given ana
after he had used four boxes he was 90
all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acldity or sour
watery rislngs no bloating after meals.
the appetite was vigorous ana he has
gained between 10 and l2 pounds In weight
Of solid healthy flesh.
Although stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores yet
consider them a most valuable addition 10
any physlclans line Of remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given to
children or lnvalds or in any condition OF
the stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless ana containing nothing but veg
etable and fruit essences, pure pepsn ana
Golden Seal
without any question they are the SAT-
cst, most effective cure for Indigestion,
billousness, constipation and all derange-
ments Of the stomach however slight or
severe.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere at fifty cents for
fun sized package.
