LAcHINE, Canada, April 22.-It is against
the law TO kill fish in the Province OF Quebec
In any other manner than with rod and
line. unless a special permit has been OBJ
tanned Just at present, law or no law,
the crack Of the shotgun may be heard
wherever a green shelving bank leads down
70 waters where that fresh water shark
the pike darts upon its prey.
Pike are in splendid condition now, plump
and with a much cleaner skin than they Will
have later on
Their flesh, which is not especially tempt
ing in warm weather, IL now firm and sweet
the result probably Of a comparatively
quiet existence in the deep sunken beds
Of weeds, where the winter has been spent.
II is more like real sport than many peo-
nile imagine 20 shoot the fish. True, they
lie az nearly as possible out OF the water,
their fms waving in the sunlight, tempting
mark TO the gunner. But the gunner soon
learns the physiological fact that fish are
str,lcturally unable to close their eyes,
and that whether doing in the sun or not
nike always cover with their vision large
zone Of possible danger space.
The finest wing shot in the world would
find IL impossible to stop a pike when
flushed by an approaching sportsman.
There Is a momentary splash, and by the
time the ripples have assorted themselves
and begun to broaden out the pike il in deep
uster where no human eye can follow 1t.
Il requires shlfu stalking and rare
Judgment 70 steal upon a basdng pike
and 20 get a good killing sight upon It.
Ernerience alone tells one how 20 keep Just
outside OF the pixies vision, for there Is

second, and frequently a third crop OF
fruit.
The strawberry plant makes very
pretty border, and the masses Of white
blossoms and the trlsses Of red. ripening
fruit make them exceedingly beautiful.
In quick succession following the luscious
Strawberries come cherries In all their
attractiveness Of color, in red, white yellow
and black, and in their different oombina-
lions Of shading, which make the trees
highly ornamental.
OF all the fruits grown there Is none more
attractive to boys and birds than cherries,
other in their efforts to obtain the major
share Of the cherries. Protests are often
made against the birds for their persistence
in taking and keeping possession Of the
trees in cherry time, but, were our bird
friends banished or destroyed, we should
not long have cherries or other fruits.
Rather than shoot or drive away the
robins, it is wiser to plant cherry trees for
them. At Orchard Farm, where Black
Tartarians, Black Eagles and Windsors,
most valuable varieties, are extensively
grown for the market, not 2 per cent. OF
the fruit Is injured or taken by the birds,
for they are provided with other kinds
for their special use. Two kinds are planted
for the birds, Goes transparent and Gov
ernor Wood.
These are both early, soft, sweet cherries,
not 30 valuable for shipping, though very
excellent, and they ripen in advance OF the
more valuable kinds. These early cherries
are given over entirely to the birds, which,
unmolested, take full possession Of the
trees, and, while filing their stomachs
daily with insects Of many kinds, will fly
TO these trees frequently during the day
for their dessert, and seldom touch the
more valuable varieties, except to pick out
a rich morsel Of worm inside Of the fruit.
For the further protection Of cherries
from birds, especially In garden culture,
is the planting Of mulberry trees, the fruit
Of which Is much liked by our feathered
friends, and 1t is also appreciated by human
consumers The Downing and the New
American are excellent varieties to plant.
There is q weeping Russian mulberry that
makes a very pretty ornamental tree with
its d: coping branches.
Among the sour cherries are the Mny
Duke, Early Richmond and Montmorency,
excellent for canning purposes or the
heart varieties the Black Tartarian, Black
Eagle and Elton, when fully ripe, are I'M
excelled IN lusciousness.
OF the Blggareau class, which are usually
larger and firmer In flesh, are the Napoleon,
Rockport, Ekhorn, Windsor and Yellow
Spanish, all beautiful in color and rich in
flavor. For garden culture. dwarf trees
OF these varieties may be grown and trained
In any form desired, while standard trees
may be planted as single ornamental speci-
mems in different places upon the home
grounds.
The chief insect enemy Of the cherry Is

while on voyage II was only to make re-
pairs or for the purpose Of giving the men
a run ashore. Occasionally ships would
stop at islands for fresh water, wood, fruit
and vegetables. The principal provisions
necessary 70 sustain lie we're taken from
the home port.
The fitting OF such a ship IL quite q task.
II called for furnishing her with:
One hundred barrels Of -four baked into
hard bread-equal 10 IS 900 pounds.
One hundred barrels Of -four packed into
ten barrel casks kiln dried for the purpose:
One hundred and twenty-five barrels OF
pork.
Three hundred barrels Of salt beef.
Three hundred pounds Of sugar
Eight hundred gallons Of vinegar.
Twelve hundred gallons OF molasses.
Fifteen hundred pounds Of butter.
A Cask Of nice.
Four casks Of beans.
A cask OF peas.
A cask OF dried apples
Onions TO last a season.
Potatoes in quantity. These last e1-
hausted, the whaler touched at some island,
where yams or sweet potatoes were sub
stituted.
Cabbages, turnips, &C., were taken for
short period, as these supplies are PERISH
able.
The above constituted the principal stock
with which a whAler was supplied Besides,
there were some canned goods Tor the
officers. Now, however, In fitting ship q is
only for a year, and this only with her hour
hard bread, beef and pork and canned
goods, which latter are more In evidence
to-day than when such articles were con-
sidered q luxury. The men forward now
adays occasionally see canned goods
Had this been the case hfty years ago the
sailor would have died from shock In
those days sailors got what they called
soft brgad, the article Of food we AL have
at home, not more than twice week. Now
most whaling vessels serve this once
day.
The fitting Of a Whaler with Ter supplies
depends largely upon the master OF the
ship. Some prefer more pork than oeef'
others run TO canned goods In abundance,
and no two are alike IN some q the details.

The Indians say that with care the trout
may be herded and driven into bays Of
shallow water, where shoals Of them may
be slaughtered at once, but to those who
know the wary tuladi at home the state
ment appears TO be OF the fictitious order.
But 1t Il well known that ali law TO the
contrary, the Indians and half breeds OF
the northern woods depend upon their
spring shooting Of the trout for an agree
able change Of diet.
Il has long been reported that In the far
north It was the custom 70 shoot the salmon
from rocky headlandS as they slowly made
their way up the streams in the spring.
The habit the kingly fish always have OF
keeping near TO the sides Of streams is In
the favor Of these salmon hunters.
1t was supposed in former days that II
was necessary TO hold the rife in a per-
fectly vertical position In order TO FIRE ac-
curately into the fish. But with the modern
conical bullets this Is not so necessary
as It was when the round ball, which had
decided tendency TO glance, was used.

Eternity River was in need Of fish food,
and as the salmon, though plentiful, we're

pound salmon close TO the head. 1t must

Possibly the fact that the fish are accus-
toned 10 lie in broken water below the
falls while resting through the dRy from

the glanoing Of the ball. And Il Ia possible

to speak. 1 find that the people
out here are q. happy go lucky
sort and takelife justas it comes.
There is no hurry here like there
is back there, everybody going
on the plan that there is another
day coming. The climate out
here is hne and the weather has
been all that could be desired,
but no rain for two OF. three
weeks. A good shower would
help things very much although
garden truck of all kinds grows
right along. This is a great
country for flowers, nearly every
yard being covered with all
kinds of various hues and kinds.
The houses are surrounded on
all sides by beautiful roses Of
every Description md tsse air

delightful. On clear days 1e
get a fine veiiw of grand md
stately Mount Rainier, sixty.
miles away, snow capped and
lofty it is indeed o fine mountain.
Blackberries are ripe now and
you can go into the woods and
pick all you want. This is y
great change from North Dakota
and seems like another world.
1 miss the smell of the print
shop, however, and cannot say
that I would be content loafng
very long. The nights get cool
and are fine for sleeping and
somehow or other this change of
scene and "fodder" sharpens up
ones appetite and l eat SO much
that if it keeps up I shall be
afraid of eating mother Haskell
out of house and home, but she
seems happy at having us all
around and able to eat so we are
getting along fine and enjoying
the visit immensely. We shall
visit the Portland fair next Mon
day, June &c, and from there
will go to Everett, WASH, to
visit Frank Trubshaw for few
days. I notice that the fire boys
got into the game in fine shape
and it gives me thrill of pride
to note that Cooperstown is on
the map. I congratulate the
boys on their success and throw
up my hat and give a tiger for
them. Have spent a great deal
of time around the large mills
here and have been greatly in
terested in seeing the large trees
sawed up and manufactured in
to all kinds of building material.
They build so different here,
most of the houses only being
one board thick on the outside,
sealed on the inside and papered
over and some very nice houses
are seen here, too. Vegetables
remain in the ground all winter
it is so mild in fact you hardly
know which is winter only for
the rain in the winter season.
Capt. Haskell has all kinds of
plums, apples, strawberries,
raspberries, etc. in his yard.
Potatoes are very fine out here
in fact l have never eaten any
better anywhere. Meat is about
the same price as at Coopers-
town, creamery butter two
pounds for 45c. Flour is about
the same price, canned goods
and clothing a little cheaper,
fuel of cousre very cheap as we'll
as fruit. Well l guess this will
do for the present will write
again when have seen the fair.
Hoping all our people at Coopers-
town are we'll.
