"OYSTER FARMS.
The Natural md Artificial Beds In
Eastern Virginia.

h Natural and Artificial Beds In
Eastern Virginia.
In eastern Virginia there are several
thousand acres of oyster farms where
oysters are raised by artificial methods
on artificial beds. The natural oyster
bed is where the oyster breeds and
natures naturally. There are thou
sands Of acres of such beds In the
Chesapeake bay system Of salt water.
In such beds the oysters breed by the
millions, and as they are too close to-
gether there they cannot all reach a
satisfactory growth. IL taken when
small from these. natural beds and
strewn along ON the bottoms where
there are no oysters naturally, at tho
rate Of 600 to 1000 bushels per acre,
such young oysters mature and ripen
off for the market, some in one and
the rest in two years.
There is a profit in such work when
i~ntelligently managed Of 25 to 331h per
cent. Probably more than 100000 acres
Of artificial oyster beds are made to
grow an oyster crop in addition to tho
acreage embraced in the natural beds.
The area of artificial beds is increas-
ing rapidly each year.
One singular feature about the oys-
ter Is this: They all look exactly alike,
there being no difference between the
male and the female externally or in
ternally. In fact, the art Of man is not
sufficient to distinguish one sex from
another. Another unique feature is
this: The male oyster lays" as many
eggs as the female-"equal rights" we
perceive. The eggs Of the male are
called milt, and the eggs Of the fe-
male are called spawn. An ordinary
full grown oyster is supposed to lay a
million eggs Il year. In spawning sea-
son the water is full Of these eggs,
and when the milt and the spawn
COM in contact and the water is at the
right temperature life Is impaired to

PARTY Leaders AT EUREKA
Nixon and NOrCrOsS Address
Audience at That Place

The Republican opening of the county
campaign Tuesday night at the Eureka
Opera house was largely attended.
George s. lSixon of winnemucca, can
didate for United States senator, and
Frank H. Norcross of Reno candidate
for supreme judge. arrived in Eureka on
the noon train, and were the orators of
the evening.
Mr.. Nixon was greeted in manner
.hat showed he had not lost prestige
with the Republican party during his
afiliation with the Silver party. He pre-
sented the issues of the Gay in a Gear
and logical manner from a Republican
insistence befitting a candida.e e o. the
party for the highest office within its gift.
He took up the history of the Silver
party In Nevada, and retold the condi-
tions that existed when the people oil
this state set aside all partisan feelings
and organized themselves as whole IL
fight for the restoration of silver in the
financial world. He stated that previous
10 the formation of the Silver party he
had visited Washington and conferre1
with the leading bimetallists of the coun-
try. and after his return he was instru-
mental in forming the new party. He re.
ferred in words of praise to the great
work of George w. Cassiday and Thomos
memorable convention of 1892. He told
how the silver men gathered at Winne-
mucca, in recognition of his services,
made him the chairman of the Silver
party state central committee. which po-
sition he held for several years.
He recalled that 1t was he who offered
the banner to the county polling the
largest Silver party vote. and that he
had the honor to deliver that banner to
the Hon. Thomas Wren for Eureka coun-
ty. That he served one term in the leg
stature as representative from Hum
boldt county, and that while Others had
used the Silver party as a side shew to
advance individual aims. he had never
done so. On the other hand. he always
was actively interested in all the move
ments of the Silver party. and that he
yields to no man as a stronger friend or
would use his efforts and influence with
any party in its behalf.
Mr.. Nixon claimed that the silver ques-
ton would right itself, and that its sta
piity must come from the Republicans
party. He said he had remained with
the Silver party until the present yeas.
when. recognizing that the position .:
the Democratic party Is on the same
basis as the Republican party on me
money question. he returned to the ranks
of the latter. He asserted that every L..
terest of Nevada depended upon Re9ubli-
can principles and the maintenance nr n
Republican administration.
Ir. Nixon paid high tribute to Presl-
dent Roosevelt. and dwe.t upon the nat
tional issues. showing why Nevada snoui-
help maintain the present administration.
