ing Of the normal number of cattle.
This plea seems to be borne out by the
fact that the prices Of Gamers and
other low-grade cattle are low. What
ever may be the cause of the; bigh
prices, all authorities agree that the
situation will not be relieved until the
shipment If range cattle begins, in
August. The scarcity Of beef is caus-
ing as much worry in this part Of the
northwest as It Is iii the big cities.

The PremiseA Land.

E Rev. Baughman, of Kensal, writes
back to his old neighbors in Illinois of
western North Dakota: 'sThe land is
Of a black loan and is very productive.
There were flax, wheat, barley, corn,
cane, potatoes, cabbages, oats, and all
the vegetables except watermelons
and pumpkins raised this year. The
fax crop was great. When fax field
of 800 to 800 acres is in bloom it looks
like that much clear water at a dis
tance, Flax went from twelve to
twenty-five bushels per acre, worth
s1.5O to SLIGO per bushel. This shows
how a man with business principles
about him could buy land at g. so per
acre and pay for it in the fall. One
man whom I have especially noticed
came here in March, settled down in a
tar-paper shack, bought his farming
implements on time, as also his living
was on time. He reaped his crop, paid
his debts, and had e5, 900 clear to start
on. He will now live in a frame man
sion and carry a full pocket-book for
he can make the same nextNyearif we
have good season. The farming is
on large scale here. One man with
twelve horses can farm 300 to 400 acres.
You never hear that old hated word
rent There is no paying rent here,
for land is plentiful, but is on the
raise. Around q town it is worth s1z
to SIS an acre, but cheaper back few
miles. A man has no fencing except
his pasture, and in winter there is nc
stock law, SO the stock can Craze the
fields and pick up the lost grain"

Originally the Government ponds were

older residents of this city. At the time
of their naming the Fish Commission was
experimenting with several varieties of
the German carp with view of intro
ducing them in this country as a pond
fish for farmers and others in the inland
sections of the States. The overlooking
OF the Government pOncs on several &C.
casions allowed many OF the carp to es-
cape into the Potomac, and that stream
was unwittingly stocked with the cele-
brated German fish, many of which are
now taken by local anglers who use the
proper bait, and by seine haulers further
down the river.

X r. ILLIONS of wee Potomac shad
Nt will soon be placed in the Gov
1 VI eminent fshponds. which are
picturesquely situated little
more than stones throw from the White
House. in a southwesterly direction. The
multiplication of Potomac shad is one of
the important duties of the United States
Fish Commission establishments in this
city. and the placing Of the young shad in
the ponds is 4 matter of considerable To-
cal moment, as it has direct bearing on
the future food supply of that toothsome
fish to the Washington markets.
The Shad Eggs.
The shad eggs. or roe, are taken from
the parent fishes at Bryan's Point, on the
Potomac. about fifteen miles below this
city, where a seine hauling station is
maintained by the Government. They are
- ssought to the central station Of the
Fish Commission, corner OF Sixth and B
Streets southwest, and placed in propa-
eating jars. Soon after the young are
Matched they are released in one of the
large ponds, where they are allowed to
remain until they grow TO sufficient size
10 protect themselves from the more
voracious fish in the river. The small
shad are detained in the pond and care
fully watched for a period of usually six
months, when they are liberated into the
Potomac through a sluiceway, which con-
meets directly with the river at point
west OF the Washington Monument.
Young Shad Set Free.
thus set. free after they had reached a
length of between three and four inches.
and thousands of them are now being cap
tured at the seine-h hauling plants along
the lower Potomac and sent to the mar
kets hare.
