No OYSTER RAISING N UTAH.


Failure Of Experiments 10 Establish Beds
in the Grent salt Lake.
The economic value Of oysters and
the immense demand for them have
caused many experiments to be made
looking to an increase in the supply.
The discovery Of a method Of artih-
cially fertilizing the spawn was most
important step, but at present efforts
are being directed toward finding suit-
able sites for new beds. Oysters are
somewhat particular as to their sur
roundings, and differences so slight
as to be almost inappreciable will pro-
duce a marked effect on the mollusks
The water must not be too salt nor too
fresh, il must not be too warm nor too
cold, and there must be some other
obscure conditions present to produce
a successful crop, On the European
coast and on the American Pacific
coast some factor is missing or some
deieterious one is present, and in con-
sequence oysters are poor.
DR.. H. T. Moore, OF the United States
Fish Commission, has been making
some Investigations into the possibility
of oyster culture in the Great Salt
Lake. The waters Of the lake itself
are far too salty for this purpose, as
they contain about twenty-five per
cent. Of solid matter, while the undi-
luted water OF the ocean contains oniy
between four aud five per cent. Il
was hoped that suitable salinity might
be found at the mouths Of streams,
and careful measurements and analyses
were made, but, though q zone Of
proper density was found, It was not
fitted for oyster culture. On account
Of great fluctuations in rainfall, the
amount Of fresh water brought down
by streams varied excessively and the
brackish belt moved up and down as
the streams were low or high. The
winds also blew more or less salt water
into the streams and aided in render
ing the area fitted for the life Of oys-
ters a movable one. AS oysters are
fixed, they cannot follow the braokish
belt aud would be destroyed By the
changes.

Sunhowers are no longer to be re-
garded as mere garden ornaments
with a lacalty for turning their heads
SO that their large, full faces are aimed
always at the sun. The plant is a
big, oily. gold-producing article Of
commerce, and has its own peculiar
points Of growth and management.
It has Just been learned in England
that sunhower seed is the most fatten-
ing Of an foods for cattle. Several
farmers there are coming money by
raising the plant wholesale for mar
ket Within a mile Of the principal
farm IN the southern counties there
are more sundowers probably than in
all other parts Of the world. The
farms look like great yellow mists
when viewed from Edgeton Hill,
twenty miles away
There are 500 acres Of sunhowers
altogether, and when the ripe heads
are cut in the fall the crop viii yield
about 300 wagon loads Of seed. The
market value OF the seed is $50 a load
"A total income Of s15, 900 for the
crop. The seed is crushed and pressed
no cattle cakes. To raise these great
sundower crops the fields must first
be fertilized with calfbone dust. That
is an expensive feature. Twenty men
are employed in the bone grinding
mill.
The fields have to be watched
closely while the flowers are ripening
Blackbirds starlings and specially
sparrows know the fattening qualities
Of the seed and immense hocks Of the
birds come from al points Of the COM
pass to feast upon the growing crop.
Boys are posted around the edges Of
the plantations during that period to
scare the fealhered thieves away

SAFE WAS DESTROYED

Stroud. o. T., July San unsuccessful
attempt was made at about 2:S0 o'clock
this morning by three masked men to
rob the Stroud State bank. The robbers
entered the room adjoining the bank
where Amos Seaton. assistant cashier and
Earl Heath, were asleep. The young men
were awakened and being bound hand
and foot were told that if they made
any noise they would be shot by the fel-
low who stood over them with a gun. The
robbers then injected nitroglyoerine into
the safe three times and the explosions
almost totally destroyed the safe, but
they failed to get the money vault. They
relieved Heath and Seaton of their
watches and a small amount Of money.
Heath begged for his watch on account Of
it being a keepsake and it was given back
to him
