A Game of Chance,

Mackeral fishing has always been a
game Of chance, more so than any other
branch Of the fisheries. Immense for.
tunes have been made In good years
and large sums lost in unsuccessful
seasons, for 1t takes considerable
money to fit out a feet of seners.
Some of the high line vessels have
divided among the crews as much as
$1,000 a man for six months work.
Mackerel fishing is now done in
three ways: with a big purse seine,
which is the method of the larger yes.
sells; with a drag or gill net, and in
pounds and traps which are built out
from the shore Of brush or Irvine.
The old way Of catching mackerel
was by hook and line. Large quanti-
ties Of wash bait, herring and clans
chopped fine, were used, and sometimes
as many as four or five barrels OF this
bait were thrown over from a single
vessel In day. 1t was used to attract
the fish, and the old timers think If a
return to the old methods were made
the mackerel would come to these
shores in as large numbers as they
did years ago.
In those days there were more ves-
sells employed than at present. At one
time, just before a heavy northeaster,
600 fishermen were counted passing
In by Portland Head at the entrance
Of Portland harbor to escape the storm.
The vessels fished in fleets, and it
often happened that several hundred
sail Of fishermen would be seen in a
very small area. Collisions were fire..
quent and whenever two vessels came
together there was sure to be n fight
between the crews.-New York Sun.

WHAT is A MODERN NEWSPAPER ?
The Public Thinks II IL the Community's
AIl.Kound Handy Man.

A guessing contest to answer the
question, what Is a modern news
paper?" might not seem to be n diff
cult one at first blush, but investigation
would change that conclusion.
The newspaper shows the effect OF
expansion more than any other branch
Of trade or business, and with the
cheering feature that the public is al
ways the beneficiary.
From the Adrian (Alich.) Telegram
comes the following attempt to de-
scribe what a newspaper now is:
1.-THE public is inslstent in its de-
mands. 1t expects the newspaper to
be a pack horse, a dray team, ditch
digger, n gas inspector, a water tester,
a special policeman, a detective Du.
reau a dog chaser, a sidewalk fixer,
a cow finder, thief catcher, bust
ness maker, a city pusher, a house
seller, paving inspector, sewer direc-
tor q pocketbook finder, lost article
hunter council regulator, fraud dis
coverer, panic preventer, obituary
preacher, chief talfy pourer at we'd
dings and social functions, sporting
mascot, fish liar, big egg prevaricator,
snake story expander, Judge on earliest
gardens, business boomer, husband
finder, sweetheart securer, school
inspector and general all-round
handy man for the community.
In fact, If there is a single
thing Of importance to human life and
human happiness that doesn't go
through the newspaper it has never yet
been discovered. 1t touches every fea-
ture Of human endeavor from the cradle
to the grave. 1t smiles with those who
smile and weeps with those who
mourn. 1t is everywhere all the time
the most busy, the most useful of all
the public agencies. 1t makes mis-.
takes. All human agencies do. Some.
times it is dishonest. But it stands
out so in the glare of the arc light of
publicity that 1t can but half succeed

time"

InsoIublo Phosphates.

The use Of insoluble phosphatcs
whether in the form of phosphate
rock or Of the so-callod Thomas Stag,
has long been a bone of contention
or debatable matter, not only among
the scientific men, but the practical
farmers. The former have questioned
whether the insoluble phosphate could
be Of any value as plant food, and
some Of the farmers have claimed that
their crops were very much benefited
by it, Although We have not tested
it, our opinion leads US to believe that
the farmers are right, and those who
rely only ON scientific principles may
be wrong, We do not place sufficient
confidence In the power of the soil
and the action Of frosts, rain and sum-
mer heat upon what are sometimes
called insoluble fertilizers. We know
little Of the power that these elements
may exert, and when to the natural
elements Of the soil there may be added
the effect Of decomposing vegetable
matter, either as stable manure OF as
green manure plowed under, We can
only say that we think they have much
effect in making soluble not only phos.
phatic but other mineral elements in
the soil. Those who have used the
finely ground rock or Thomas Stag
upon fields which had received lib.
eral dressing Of stable manure, or
had been treated with a green crop
plowed under, are so unanimously in
its favor that We cannot doubt but
that the so'called insoluble phosphates
do become soluble In the soil under
certain conditions depending upon the
soil or the treatment 1t has received

The seventeen-year- cicada, or locust,
as it is more generally but wrongly
called, is now in full possession Of the
territory in which 1t is due. In all
probability succeeding broods will be
less destructive, as the areas over
which it occurs are less favorable for
egg-laying than formerly. Another
important factor in its destruction Is
the English sparrow. This is particu.
larly true in public parks and other
places near cities and towns. The
sparrow is very fond of these insects
and devours them greedily as soon as
they come from the ground.
