A very sensible and economical meth
cd of fish distribution is being used by
the state fish commission of Iowa and
also by the United States fish commits
sioner i'll supplying the rivers and
lakes of Iowa, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa with young fish. The bayous Of
the Mississippi river form ideal spawn
ing grounds for bass, pike and crop
pies, and as the waters recede in mid
summer these young fish are left en-
tirely protected from their natural enc
mics, the larger fish. In the fall these
bayous are seined and the young fish
secured by the million. They are then
transported In specially constructed
fish cars to any point on the lines of
railway. The supply from this source
is practically inexhaustible.

Farms in England are almost always
rented on long term leases, usually
twenty-one years. 1t often happens
that one family will occupy the same
farm for generations. The sooner
leases in this country are not made for
less than five years the better for land
lord, farm and tenant.

We noted pretty level headed farm
er, In general way, taking out to his
farm to place at the head of his herd
of brood sows a little eighty pound
boar pig, when nothing is more certain
about the probable cause of hog chol-
era than this thing of breeding from
immature parents. The aged boar is
not a pleasant animal to have around
on a farm, but he is absolutely indis-
pensable If healthy and thrifty pigs
are expected. The Poland-China hog
of the standard type of the country
should under no circumstances be per-
mitted to reproduce it's kind until they,
both sire and dam, are at least one full
year old. If all the young stock was
the product of parents three years old
and over, the provoking cause of hog
cholera epidemics would be largely re-
moved.

We never hill our potatoes, but pre-
fer to thoroughly prepare the soil,
plant at least five inches deep and
then give level cultivation. This plan
does much to prevent the i'll effects of
July and August droughts and permits
the surface cultivation Of the field
long after the time when the field Is
usually laid by.

Because of the high prices command
ed by potatoes this year there will be
altogether too many men who will pay
a dollar bushel for seed potatoes next
spring and have hard work to sell the
crop for 25 cents. 1t has always been
this way and always will-always men
whose hind sight Is the best developed
thing about them.
The fertility of the pastures of Eng

END OF A DREAM.
Trego Shale Owners Abandon
the Gage Process.

Charles Gage, the man who was much
advertised as the inventor OF a new
process by which gold could be ex-
tracted from Trego county shale, has
left town, and the gold shale promo
tiers think he win never return.
Gage has supposedly gone to Arlan-
sas. in response to a very urgent tele-
gram, calling him there to inspect some
mines. He left a ton of sha1e, upon
which he was working. in "half-coOl-
ed" condition
At first. the saale investigators were
jubilant. over the Gage process because
they thought that they had at last
found a process by which the elusive
gold could be dragged forth from the
shale in big chunks At any rate, that
is what Gage did He literally produc-
ed chunks Of gold and silver which he
said We're obtained from the shale by
his new process
The stockholders in the gold company
employed J. 7. LOyeWeu Of this city TO
test the Gage process and report upon
IT, Mr.. LOvewell, assisted by mem ers
/ Of the company have been applying all
4 sorts Of tests, both TO Mr.. Gage and 70
his process, and the invariable result
/ has been disastrous. The process did
! not work. unless Mr.. Gage was there
to personally manipulate the shale. The
result Of the work is that the Gage
| process has been abandoned.

NO FEAR OF PLAGUE.
Conditions in United States Different
From INDIA.

New York. July s0.-The possibility Of
the spread of bubonic plague through
out the American continent having
been discussed as a probability by Dr.
Walter Kemster of Milwaukee, Wis,
has brought out adverse opinions from
a number of New York physicians
They condemn the views OF Dr. KEN
ster as alarInist and calculated to cause
a panic. though the fact that he spent
some time abroad studying the origin
and spread of plaques, under the Harrl-
son administration, gives added weight
to his statement to the effect that there
is danger under existing sanitary con
dftions and unless immediate measures
are taken to stamp it out. Dr. A. r;
Doty. health officer of the port, sald
that while the plague might be destrue-
tive to people in India, the conditions
were different here. In India people
slept with rats and Vermin- In the
last three years the plague had been IN
Rio Janeiro, Lisbon and San Francisco,
but there had been no devastation A.
any of those places.
DR.. Doty declared he had no fear
whatever of the plague gaining any

ENGLAND'S new POLICY
Hope to COnclIiate Beers by Re-
Stunning Mining.

New York, July 30.-There is a gen
eraI agreement among those who have
come recently from South Africa that
there viii be a change Of policy a. soon
as Lord Miner returns and confeFs
with Gen. Kitchener, says the London
correspondent of the Tribune. This
change will be effected by the resump-
ton of work on a large scale at the
johannesburg mines. DR.. Jameson con-
siders that a mistake has been made IN
keeping the miners out of Johannes
burg and that this will be rectified as
soon as Lord Miner reaches South Al
RIGA He asserts that the true policy
is to concentrate an adequate garrison
there and facilitate in every possible
way the return Of the mining popula-
ton and the transportation OF supplies
needed for it. When the way has been
opened for the resumption Of ordinary
mining operations in that quarter the
Beers will begin to settle down and
carry their farm produce into market
If the shooting goes on for awhile in
the eastern or the western TransYaai
or in the Orange River colony it will
not offset the moral effect Of the re-
sumption of business in the chief min
ing center. Johannesburg will again be
fully populated and employed and this
will be practical evidence that the war
has ended and peace been restored.
Guerilla operations viii gradually dis
appear with adequate police work DR..
Jameson believes that peace in this
sense is close at hand and that Lord
Miner fully understands the situation.
This view IS shared by the best in
formed South Africans here.
