AOueer Appetite.

Occasionally we hear of cattle that
develop an abnormal appetite for wood.
eating rotten pieces of boards, etc. A
contributor to NaIlonal Stockman
states that at one Crawford county in
stitute, a gentleman complained that
one of his cows had eaten pig-pen, a
string of fence and other lumber on
the premises, and he had been COM
PEELED to fence her away from the barn
to save it. He has fed her many and
various feeding stuffs, besides bone
meal, sawdust and other side-dishes.
With lumber at present prices, the COW
has expensive tastes He wishes to
know what produced the appetite, and
what will cure it. He thinks he has
provided foods that furnish all the
mineral elements needed, and the in
clination to chew sticks and boards
seems now to be only vicious habit.

CITY EXPENSES.
Good Work in Keeping Within Appropriations
Some Needed Improvements.

Mayor Philbrook is thoroughly con
WINGED that the city can he run with
a tax rate Of less than per cent. BY
this he does not mean that permanent
improvements can be made. but that
the actual running expenses Of the
city can he provided for by the income
derived from that rate of taxation
That this can he done is shown by
the present administration.
The present administration was I'M
fortunate, If it may 50 be termed in
having large amount Of extra bills to
pay. In the first place the city voted
to pay $40, 600 for stock of the Water
willie & Weeks Mills road. This was
provided for by the tax rate. In addi-
ton. the smallpox caused an additional
expense. This in all amounted to near
ly $4,000. Besides that there were a
number of other things that had to he
provided for, among them being the
claim Of NJ. q. Foster against the city.
which was decided by the referees
chosen by the city's agent and Mr.. Fos-
ter. Further. there was a land dam

things, many unlocked for that had

An East Monmouth man who was re-
Gently in the city said that upwards OF
10000 trout eggs will be shipped from the
East Monmouth hatchery within few
days, and that about 100000 salmon eggs
were expected at the latter place from
the Sebago and Auburn hatcherics. 1t is
said that there are about 3S, 600 young
trout at the Monmouth hatchery at the
present time, against 42o.0oo last season.
Owing to the low water in the stream
fewer large trout came into the stream,

some of them Of good size and weighing
much as pounds.
1t has been intimated that perhaps the
screen at the outlet of CobboSseecontcc
was ineffective and that that might &C
count for the scarcity of trout, but people
who have taken the trouble to investigat !
say that the screen is effective and is do
ing the work that it was expected to do
1t is claimed that other ponds have been
longer stocked with trout and that the
tame fishing Of last season was in con

naturally be expected. considering thu
years of difference in the work of stock

large body of water and it viii naturally
