Suggestions of Capt. Gregg-Project Feas.
IDLE and Expense Small.
Capt. Gregg, of East Sound, is much
interested in the suggestion of All Olga
gentleman that Mountain and Cascade
lakes, on Orcas, be stocked with trout
Although he has lived at East Sound
for years he says he had no idea until
quite recently of the great attractions
for sportsmen afforded by the lake re-
gion and the adaptability of the lakes
to fish propagation. He has 10 doubt
that if the proper steps are taken soon,
enough trout to stock the lakes can be
obtained this fall when the next coast
shipment is made from Washington
early in November. He expects sew
eral Thousand young trout then him
self, with which he intends to stock a
little creek on his farm, and it is his
idea that application should be made
as soon as possible to the United States
Fish Commission at Washington for
100000 for the mountain lakes The
cost would be small. 1t would be nec-
essary to furnish barrels in which to
transport the fish from whatever point
on the Sound the distribution is to be
made-Seattle or WhatcOm probably,
and someone would have to attend to
the transfer from Olga, but that ought
not to cost anything. 1t might cost
little something to obtain the data as
to depths Of lakes, sources of supply,
ETC., called for by the blanks furnished
by the commission, but it is hardly
likely that the entire expense of in
formation, transportation, etc., would
exceed $25, and it certainly ought to be
easy to raise so small sum for such q
purpose. Capt. Gregg saws he would
subscribe literally himself and would
gladly render all the assistance that he
could. If the lakes are well stocked
and fishing prohibited for at least three
years, the lakes and their outlets will
be veritable paradise for anglers, the
locality will warm with tourists i'm the
summer season and new source of
wholesome food supply will be added
to the natural resources of the most
picturesque island of the archipelago.
And, by the way, it should not he for
COTTON that there are lakes on this ISL
and and on Blakely that ought also to
he stocked with good fish. We sug-
gest that this is a matter which the
San Juan Club might well take up and
push successfully.

STRIKE IN cowELL LIME WORKS

Coopers Dissatisfied With q Recent Order
of the Proprietor.
All the coopers employed at Cowell's
lime works have quit work on account
of dissatisfaction with a recent order of
the proprietor, Henry COwell, of San
Francisco, the cline king'' Of Cali
fOrnia, who was here few days ago.
One of the men who quit had been in
Mr.. Cowell's employ for thirteen years,
though he had been at the works in
this county only few months. The
order affected the pay of the men,
making it impossible, they say, to get
what they consider fair wages at piece

DIR. Withycomb, professor of agricul-

Prof. Lidsay, of the Massachusetts, Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, tried feed
ing calves on skim milk and Oleomargar-
inc, and found that when more than one
ounce Of OlemOrgarine was added to each
quart of milk, indigestion was produced.
A quart Of normal whole milk contains
about 1.3 ounces of butter fat.

at this season of the year it may be
we'll to get the fact well in mind that it is
the wind that dries hay and not the sun.
Of course, the sun is very good adjunct,
and it is always necessary to have the sun
aid in this work, but wind is a very es-
sential element in haying. 1t sometimes
blows so hard rs to prevent building a
good load, but it is doing great good in
other ways.
The manuring Of fruit trees in Holstein,
Germany, is done as follows: Every
other winter few holes are dug in the
ground about four or five feet from the
trunk of the tree and about one foot deep,
or closer and somewhat shallOwer i'm the
case Of small trees, and filled with liquid
manure about four times during the win

fruit in abundance without any cultiva-
ton.
The Vermont Agricultural Experiment
Station has been experimenting with
poisOns for killing insects injurious to
plants and a discovery has been made
that some of the arsenic preparations arc
soluble and when used for spraying trees
or plants kills the plants. When using
this drug for spraying purposes it is nee
essary to have it in insOluble form. Paris
green contains arsenic in an insOluble
form and is the best to use if pure. In
employing substitutes it may be well to
note tho matter Of soluhility.
