is DESTROYED

Council Bluffs. Ia. May 16.-Reports
from growers in this vicinity indicate
that hail. which accompanied the rain
and wind storm Tuesday night, did
great damage to fruit. especially to
grapes. the principal fruit crop in this
territory.
The hail stripped the vines clean,
destroying the tender shoots and clus-
tiers Of blossoms which We're just form
ing. Growers say that the dormant
buds which grape vines throw out
when the FIRST buds are destroyed will
probably produce partial crop, but
late and of inferior quality.

The British Australasian gives an in
feresting account of the mysterious APP
pearance of fish in large holes which
had been dry for long periods and
which had suddenly been filed by
heavy rains. j. w. kingsmill. who has
had about 40 years experience in the
far north states that he has known
waterhoIes to be dry for months. and
six weeks after they have been filled
by rain they have been alive With fish.
He has caught fish nearly half a pound
i'm weight in n hole which had been
dry for months and only six weeks
after the rain filled it. The only posi-
BILE explanation Mr. Kingsmill offers is
that when the water is eynporated or
sinking and fast disappearing the fish
burrow down in the mud and become
dormant

THIRSTY OYSTERS
ARE GUARANTEED
No More Bivalves Will Be
Permitted to Swim in Adult
terated Soup Flavor.

Des Moines, Ia. May 14,-Alluding to
the discussion of the question OF
whether an egg is live stock in yes
terday's Register and Leader, State
Dairy and Pure Food Commissioner H
r. Wright said that he was not 80
much interested In that or the question
Of watering railroad and other corpora
ton stock whether live or otherwise,
but he was intensely interested in the
question OF whether oysters sold in
Iowa shall be watered.
Beginning with the opening OF the
oyster season next fall this depart
ment is going to prevent the practice
OF watering oysters" he said yester-
day.
1t was suggested that the humane
society had Jurisdiction over cruelty to
animals.
You don't catch on" said Mr.
Wright. The practice of adding ice
and water to oysters. ostensibly for the
purpose of preservation. is of long
standing" he explained That isn't
cruelty to the dumb animal it is cruel
ty to the animal who consumes. And
just as soon as a month approaches
which makes noise like the letter
r. this department is going to step
in and stop the practice of oyster
watering.
When 1t is known that oysters
wholesale at $l.40 per gallon and are
sold at retail at IS cents the quart, it
is apparent at once that the water
and Ice added is n real adulteration.
and that the dealer is selling water at
80 cents per quart under the name OF
oysters. There is no longer any ex-
cuse for this practice because there
nre now in use specially prepared
! packages for handling oysters without
the addition of ice directly to them. A
good many of the wholesale firms are
now selling their oysters in gallon or
larger cans. the cans suitable for pack
ing In ice in a convenient sized box or
other home made receptacle
