MARIN LAWS BAR ANGLERS

The large body OF anglers from this city
who have fished annually for steelheads
at the White House, Point Reyes and at
ThrOckmortOn Lagoon cannot do so this
winter. The Marin County officials passed
an ordinance in June last which prohibits
the taking of steelheads in any manner in
the streams under their jurisdiction. The
section of the ordinance covering this
matter reads as follows:
Any person who. in the County of Marin,
State of California, between the fifteenth
day Of October and the first day OF April
in the following year shall catch. kill or de
stroy any salmon trout mountain
trout" brook trout rainbow trout
''specked trout or any other variety of
trout. ANY person who shall, at any time,
catch. kill or destroy, with any seine or net
or any spear weir fence, basket, trap. gill
net set net, dynamite or any poisonous,
deleterious or stupefying drug or other sub
stance or other implement appliance, any
trout named in this ordinance or any spe-
cies of trout in any of the streams, lakes or
waters lying within the county of Marin,
State Of California, shall be guilty Of mis-
demeanOr Provided, however. that any
person persons may angle or catch trout
with hook and line between the first day of
april and the fifteenth day Of October in
each year.

Trot on the Lexington
Track.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 1S.-After a
days postponement racing was resumed
to-day with a slow track. Valpa, the to
20 favorite in the pooling, won the $250O
West stake with ease. There was no pool
ing after the first heat.
The sensation of the day turned up in
the 2:10 trot. when Charley Herr, the IA
vorite, was distanced in the third heat.
He had been worn out He was the IA
vorite at $15 to $25 for the field, but after
the first heat it switched to Lucille, who
was laid up in the first heat. The race
split into six heats and after hard strug
gle litter drove Malcolm Forbes chestnut
mare May Fern to victory.

BASS FOR EEL RIVER.
Fish Commissioners to Stock the
Waters of Humboldt County.

Deputies Fish Commissioners Davis and
Cross were in San Pablo Bay yesterday
seining for small striped bass, which the
Commissioners are to send to Eel River,
Humboldt County, on next Monday. It is
the desire to plant at least 400 fry in that
stream. The first lot sent was not a Gus
cess, all but dozen dying EN- route. The
Commissioners, have been puzzled over
the fact that the fish have not sought
those waters of their own accord. Soon
after these fish became plentiful in the
waters of San Francisco Bay the Com
missioners found that the overflow had
migrated to the south until now they are
plentiful in all of the southern streams
having permanent opening into the
ocean.
To the north it has been different, none
of these fish having been found north of
Cape Mendocino. One theory is that upon
that headland. which is the farthest west
in this State. they came in contact with a
cold current and turned back in search of
warmer waters. 1t is believed that if they
once got around the cape they would have
done well in the more northern bays and
big streams, which seem particularly
adapted to their requirements.

LIFE.

Is this world then but husk and chaff
a flicker in me gloom?
A thing of grave and epitaph and Death
its endless doom?
The. Ages greatness long begone, the
life whose light has flown,
But carved the crumbling columns on,
or craven on Il stone?
Eternal dust the legacy the Past shall
leave to Time?
Shall Honor leave but Memory and
Love the lutte and rhyme?
Sees Time the ages flood and flow, no
link between, no chain
or purpose in their tread ahead, no
meaning in their train?
All, no! Thou must he faithful that
some wise, purposeful plan
Pervades the planets in their paths
the Destiny of Man.
That Reason rules where simple fools
cry chance. That accident
Guides not afar the falling star but
some pure purpose bent.

SuRocntion In n Silo.

The suffocation of three men by car
bonic acid gas in a silo in Wisconsin is
reported. Carbonic acid gas is not in
itself a poison, but being heavier than
the air It had collected below the silo
opening to such a depth that the men
entering the silo were drowned as if in
water. While this ease occurred
through an unusual combination of
circumstances, it seems to show the
desirability Of starting the cutter be-
fore men enter a silo that has been left
standing for some time when filling is
In progress. The stirring Of the air by
the falling silage dilutes the gas and
renders it harmless. Doors should be
SO close together that the heads Of the
men are always above an opening
when working. The accident appears
to have been analogous to the deaths
that occur when men descend into
wells and are overcome by accumulat-
ed gas.

DEVICE FOR HANGING A HOG.

WV n A1oos
says: 1t is very cheap and easily made,
and any bright boy can put it together
in a day. By it's use a boy can easily
raise and hang a hog that weighs 400
pounds, and the frame will hold six or
more after being dressed, and six 400
pound hogs are as many as any or
binary family ought to kill and eat in
n year in Ohio.
Fig. 1 shows the side view of the
frame. 1t is made altogether of oak,
2 by 4 stuff, and the legs are bolted on
so that they are easily taken off to
store OF carry about. They are set
staggered, as shown at the end view,
Fig. 2. The large wheel, B, is about
two feet in diameter, and the spindle
on the same axle, G, is four inches, so
that n pound pulled down on the
rope running owe B pulls up six pounds
on the rope winding on the small spin
die, G. The crank, D, also multiplies
the power about three times, so that
one pound Of force supplied to the
crank lifts about 1S pounds theoretic-
ally. OF course the friction cuts this
down somewhat, but the heaviest part
Of the pig killing is the easiest when
this machine is used. The large wheel,
B, is easily made by saving out two
disks of hard plank and putting in
pins around the circle, spacing the
disks about four inches apart and put
ting the circle of pins about four inches
from the circumference.

Of 800 acres 25O are seeded to alfalfa
and the remainder is used for pens,
barns and residence. The manner in
which the corrals and feed lots are ar
ranged Is an admirable one for caring
for sheep, and it would be a hard mat
ter to devise a more practical arrange
ment.
The corral Is circular in shape and
has a smaller pen in the center. Ra-
dating from this center pen to the out
side are fences, rs shown in the II
which divide the outer portion of the
corral into II different pens. These
outside pens are called hay pens. where
the sheep remain when not in the corn
pens, two smaller pens IL the center.
At the immediate center of the corral
is located the corn bin or crib. Water
is furnished by means Of a reservoir
and pipes, which are connected with
each pen, necessitating the use Of six
hydrants, II for each two pens. The
feeding pens are connected with gates
to the hay or outer pens.
Feed is given twice a day. and it
usually takes three hours each time to
handle the II pens. Two pens are fed
at the same time, one pen OF each side
of the dividing fence, thus minimizing
both labor and time. All the corn used
is carefully weighed each day as it is
fed. This Is a point that a good many
feeders overlook. A pair Of hand scales
Is kept at the pens, and not a grain Of
corn more than the determined weight
is given.

Apples For the Northwest.

In reply to some criticism Of his
views about Russian apples Professor
Hansen Of South Dakota says in Coun-
try Gentleman: The facts are that in
the sections of the northwest where
the American varieties fail the Russian
varieties as q class have proved supe-
ri0r in hardness, and that is the first
essential. In more favored apple re-
gions where American varieties are a
commercial success I would say, "Let
well enough Alone" In time we hope
to combine the high quality and long
keeping capacity Of our best American
winter varieties with the hardness and
freedom from scab Of the hardest
Russian sorts, but this work Of cross
ing will demand patience and consid-
cradle time.
The fact remains that the Minnesota
State Horticultural society only com
mends three varieties as Of the first de-
gree Of hardiness-viz, Hibernal, Ouch
ess and Charlamoff. CThe name Golden
burg has not been adopted by this So
ciety, as the old name, Duchess, is so
well established in Minnesota that the
change would only cause c%onfusion.)
-Four other varieties are recommended
as Of the second degree Of hardness,
and Of these two are American and
two Russian. OF the 10 recommended
for trial, at least three are western
seedlings of Duchess, three are western
American seedlings and seven are Rus
sian.
Neither class of apples needs defend
ers. Leave it to a vote of the fruitmen
in each locality. It is simply a ques-
ton Of locality.
