Most Of the gfilse ascend the rivers

homes. The physical difference between
the grilse and the salmon. or mature
FISH is shown by the following features:
The tail OF the grilse IS always forked.
that of the salmon is straight; the scales
OF the grilse are smaller, and the fins
are longer and larger in proportion TO
the body; they return 10 the sea before
the salmon. they remain longer there
than they DO OH their first migration.
The grilse remain in the river all The
summer and winter, and are the first
20 spawn. After their second migration
TO the sea they return as salmon, OF
mature fish.
RAPID GROWTH IN SALT WATER.
Their rapid growth from the smolt
stage 20 the prilse has been proved by
careful markings. In the short space OF
eight TO ten weeks they have increased
in weight from a few ounces 10 many
pounds. The growth Of the salmon Is
likewise marvellous up 10 a certain age.
on the average the grilse and salmon
have doubled their weight IN their ma

This fish with the ticket on was caught
in the same river on its return from

and two days and weighed twenty-seven
and a quarter pounds so that 81 had
increased IN weight in this short period

How long salmon live Is difficult 20

Friends of the Latter Decide Not to
Oppose the Formers Preferment.
An understanding has been reached
among the friends of Admiral Schley in
the Senate in regard to their attitude on
the nomination of Admiral Sampson They
decided rot to press the fight over the ad-

let the nominations be confirmed without
much, II any more, debate, depending upon
future legislation to place Admiral Schley
before the country in the position which

created Admiral Schley told his senatorial
friends that he was willing to trust his
fortunes to their care.

Washington, May 5.-The State
department to-day received dis
patch from President Schurman, Of
tho Philippine commission, giving
tho substance of tho conferences
with the representatives Of Agul
naldo, and asking for further lnstruc-
tions. While the text of the dispatch
is not to be made public, Secretary
Hay stated that it showed n very
satisfactory condition Of affairs in
the Philippines, and pointed to Il set
tlemrnt Of the difficulties there The
reply Of the President to Prof. Schur-
mans cablcgram, it is understood,
stated that he was very anxious to
have the peace negotiations conclud-
ed at the earliest possible moment,
and to this end he desired that no
III necessary or hnmiliating conJi.
'ions should be imposed upon the in
snrgents. 1t is believed in Adminis-
tration circles that as soon as Agui
naldo is convinced of the sincerity
Of the American Government no will
agree to surrender He will be re.
quired, however, to lay down his
arms. This will be tho principal
condition, and until an agreement on
this point is reached tho neg, iations
will not mako any progress toward a
conclusion.

Institutes to be II,ld This Sumnr. Under
tho Auspices of the Clemson Faculty

Farmers Institutes will be
held in KNITTED number of
counties this summer for the instruc-
tion of the people in various branches
or agricultural science. The course
Of lectures shall be arranged to pro-
sont to those IN attendance tho re-
suits Of the mot ecent Investigations
in theoretical and practical agricul-
ture, and as far as possible to make the
subjects discussed meet the special
needs of the locality whore the insti
tute is held
All expenses Of the meeting will
be met by the college. The com
munity in which the institute is held
is expected to provide suitable
place for the speaking, to advertise
tho meeting and to arrange tho
minor details. 1t is desirable that
local speakers and writer's assist in
the exercises of the Institutes by dis
cussing subjects in which they are
most interested, or in which they
have had successful experience.
IL may not be practicable always
to hold the institute on the day de-
sired by the community as different
places sometimes ask for the same
date The final selection Of the
date must, therefore, be left to Il o
college authorities, but the wishes
of the community will be observed as
far as practicable.
1t is the policy Of the college to
lepgthen, whom desirable, the ses:
sions Of tho Institutes. We realize
that tho best results can not be
obtained from one day meeting.
The scope and character of the work
should be broadene1 year after year
Where sufficient interest is mani
tested tho institute will be conducted
for longer period than day.
This work will begin about the
first of August, and applications
shonld be sent in at once. Specify
the time and place, and the names Of
the gentlemen who arc willing to
serve on the local committee.
The subjects discussed at the irsti
tltes should be adapted to local con.
ditions. We therefore ask those in
terested to designate the subjects
that are believed TO be Of the most
interest to tho locality.
Among the subjects that tho mem
bers Of the institute staff arc pre-.
pared to discnss may be mentioned:
Improvement Of soil, grasses and
legumes, horticulture, plant diseases,
botany, entomology, insects and in
secticidcs, methods of spraying,
dairying, animal husbandry, farm
manure, veterinary scionce, fertiIl-
zors, chemistry Of soils, truck farm-
ing, drinking waters, road improve
ment, industrial education.
After the county institutes, an in.
stitnte lasting ono week will be
held at Clemson college, Board and
lodging will be furnished at cost.
