TENACIOUS OF LIFE

Cod and LoOsters Live . Long Time
After Being Taken from Water.
Two instances showing how tena-
cious Of life. Holsters and cod are are
related In a bulletin Of the United
States Fish Commission. In the fall
Of 1899 about twenty Holsters were left
IN car In the basin" at a fish COM
mission wharf. Near the end of March,
1900, when the car was opened. all
seemed to be in a perfectly healthy
condition. On the conclusion of the
fishing for brood cod in the fall Of 1899
fourteen cod weighing from four to
six pounds, taken with hand lines on
Nomans Land or Nantucket, were in
adVertently left in the we'll, Of the
Grampus and not discovered until
April, 1900. These fish were placed In
the well not later than November Is.
possibly some days before. During
this time they had not been fed and
had only such food as came through
the holes In the well. When released
in Gloucester harbor on April 16 they
were found to be lively and strong, al
though somewhat emaeiated, and II
was noticed that their backs and sides
were much darker than normal, whils
the belly was unusually light colored-

sRiToN's FOOD SUPPLY.

A careful study OF the question Of
the food supply of the United King
dom, leading to results somewhat at
variance with ideas entertained on the
subject In some quarters, is contrib
uted to the Journal o: the Royal Agri-
cultural Society by hlr. r. F. Crawford.
The writer begins by estimating the
amounts received at home and import
ed from abroad CT the four fundanent-
al articles OF food-wheat. meat. pota-
toes and mIlk-for all these must, he
holds, be considered in the study Of
the problem. The results obtained
show that the home contribution is. in
the case Of wheat, less than rs per
cent Of the whole consumption; Of
meat, as regards which the state Of
things Is much more satisfactory,
about 81 per cent; Of milk (including
butter and cheese, about S. per cent;
and Of potatoes. practically the whole.
But even these figures are too favor

stuffs grown abroad. In view Of the
difficulty Of obtaining the value OF
these in their converted form, Mr..
Crawford attempts TO calculate the
acreage that would be necessary to
produce an equal amount Of foodstuhs
at a home, finally adding this to the
area required TO produce an equivalent
Of the imported supplies In wheat,
meat and milk. The total number OF
acres so obtained is 1885, 900. this
being considered a distinctly moderate
estimate. Therefore. as the area now
under crops and grass is 1850. 900
acres, it is clear that we could not. as
has been thought possible by some, add
to our productive surface anything ap-
preaching the area represented by the
imports OF wheat, meat and milk. On
the other hand, the law OF diminishing
returns precludes the possibility Of any
large increase of productivity through
radical changes In methods Of farm
ing, etc. At the end Of his paper Mr..
Crawford compares the state Of agri-
culture in the United Kingdom with
that prevailing In Belgium. Germany
and France. showing that there Is no
foundation for the idea that the first
named is able to nearly feed her people
from her own soil, and that, Judged
from the standpoint Of productivity.
the system Of farming in this country
is, If anything. superior to that Of Bel
GUM and far ahead Of those Of France
