Master Fish Warden n. G. Van Dusen

board OF fish commissioners, who were
in session at Salem, yesterday, The re.
port shows that nine arrests were made
for violations OF the fishing laws, but

The work collecting Silverside spawn
on the Coquille has only just begun.
This shows considerable OF a contrast
with what was done at the Columbia
River Stations, especially with those on
the Upper Columbia where complete
failures were made again this year, with
weather and water conditions iavoring
them. The stations tributary to the
Willamette did fairly well; and If not
for these which were operated on the
Clackamas below the Cazadero Dam and
on the Mckenzie River, we would have
made practically speaking. no showing
whatever for the Columbia this season.
The result of the efforts set forth at
these stations show as follows:

samns AZ a Rlrthnlace.

Samos, the autonomous Greek
island under Turkish suzerainty
which has once more been the scene
of trouble, is one of the few lucky re-
gions on earth that have no national
debt 1t is also one of the few places
in that part of the world at which
Homer was not born. But as a birth
place Samos nevertheless ranks high.
AS the home of the first triremes it
was the originator of sea power.
Thence came the first bold Greek mar
liner who sailed out through the
Straits of Gibraltar into the Atlantic
Above all, it was the birthplace of
PytbagoTas, of whom Samos is very
proud to this day. Its great college,
the Pythagoreum, is attended by pu-
pills from Crete and other islands, and
has been called by Samian writer
"a lighthouse, spreading its light far
and wide in the Levant."

Awkward Language.

Japanese typos have their
troubles. X. Suqimura, library editor
of the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun, says that
he especially admires the linotype
machines. Unfortunately we are I'M
able to use them in Japan, for our
language has AZ letters, as we'll as
over 1900 Chinese characters, and
such number of types is, of course,
beyond the capabilities of any ma
chine yet invented. In the printing
Office of our newspaper in Tokyo the
compositor must often walk the
whole length of the room to fetch one
character, instead of standing in one
place before a single case, as the Eng
lish or American compositors can do"

Hog Cholera.

There is no business, not even a
national bank, that will figure out
greater profit than the hog business,
providing nothing happens to the
hogs in the meantime Starting with
a few it does not take long until the
hogs are numbered by the hundreds,
Yes, it does not take long to get a
herd of hogs, but it takes much less
time to get rid of them with fearful
loss if hog cholera once makes its APP
pearanee among them. On account of
this disease, hog raising has always
been a hazardous undertaking and a
perilous business. All sorts Of nos
trums have been recommended as a
sure cure.
It is positively known to be germ
disease, and all curative and proven.
Tive measures that have not been aim.
ed directly at the specific cause have
been Of no avail. For many years
the United States department Of agri-
culture has had corps of scientific in.
vestigators working exclusively upon
this disease with a view not so much
of finding a remedy as a means of pre-
venting the disease. 1t seems at least
that their efforts have been rewarded
and that we are to have a preventive
serum, which at nominal expense
will positively immunize hogs against
this deadly infection.
Next month the scientists from the
different experiment stations interest
ed in this line of work will meet at
Ames, Iowa, for a general conference
and to determine upon some means Of
systematically extending the expert
ment stations. If this method proves
to be satisfactory, as it is confident

BEGINNING Bee Keeping.


First provide yourself with two or
three hives OF exactly the same dimen-
sions, with movable combs any one Of
which will fit in any OF the hives.
Then take one Of these hives 10 some
bee keeper who has Italian bees and
have him fill 1t with top swarm. Take
it home as soon as possible after it
has been hiyed., II you can not do
tnat the same day when you do take
1t home put 1t in the cellar for day
before setting 1t out In the yard. The
bees will be known they are in a
strange place, and will mark the loca-
ton on leaving the hive. Remember
that in the working season a bee hive
can not be moved more than foot or
two without the loss of good many
bees. as they will return to the same
spot whether the hive is there or not.
If the hive is kept in the dark for q
day and put in an entirely new place,
however, they will find their way back
when loaded with honey.
We would begin with but one swarm
and then study the habits Of bees,
learn how to handle them without get
ting nervous. In other words, get ac-
quainted with your bees; give them to
understand that you are their friend
In good honey season top swarm
should fill up the hive with COMBS
during the first honey harvest, and
should be able to store some surplus
honey during the fall. If you are
anxious to increase your stock, how
ever, about the time the hive is full
of combs and there is plenty of brood,
which can be ascertained on eXamina-
ton, take out about two of the brood
combs, put them in another hive, re-
move your first hive about rod, and
set the new hive on the old stand.
There will in all likelihood be some
queen cells in one of these new combs,
that will hatch out in few days, and
thus you will have two hives from
ana: or, when the first hive is quite
TuM of comb, you can take out the
comb that has queen in it, put it in
this second hive, fill it up with empty
racks, and put on the old stand.
The main thing, however, is to get
acquainted with your bees-to be able
to distinguish queen from a worker
and both from q drone; to know a
queen cell when you see 1t Ga long.
cell, standing perpendicular, usually
found where there is break in the
comb or on the edge); and to distin-
guish the brood in its various stages.
All this must be learned by observa'
ton and experience. Books can only
point out what you can see for your
self if you will keep your eyes open.
If you find that the bees like you
and you like them, there is no trouble
in increasing the number OF swarms
to any desired extent. Every farmer
ought to have f@w swarms OF bees,
enough to furnish him with honey,
dear to the heart of childhood, enough
to gather his share of the tons OF
honey that go to waste every year in
every neighborhood, and also to fertil.
ize the fruit blossoms. There is profit
in bee keeping on the farm to this
extent; but we do not advise it to any
greater extent unless the farmer has
time to make it a speciality and give
it a large portion of his attention.
There will usually be found on the
farm some boy or girl who has knack
for handling the bees. -Wallaces'

SOME NOVELTIES IN P:LLcWs
Dainty Requisites for the Bedroom ~9a

The dainty lady just now is turpi

gerie pillows which do so much to

They are quite small, soft down pl-

a graceful design of small flowers ana
sometimes they are quite plain will.
only twoinch hemstitched ruffle ali
round the edge. Others are inset with
fine valenciennes lace insertion, while
the ruffles are finished with lace
edging.
Quite the easiest way to make these
dainty novelties is to buy an embroid-
cred handkerchief, which may be made
larger, if necessary, by sewing inser-
ton round the edge This is backed
by plain handkerchief linen, and the
whole is finished with hemstitched
Tuffle of the same material
The pillows themselves may first be
covered with a slip of sateen to match
the color adopted by milady, usually
either blue or pink, which shows
through the sheerlinen cover and &C
centuates the trimming or embroidery.
Women who do not like ruffles fin
fish the pillows around the edge with
single band of valenciennes insertion.
Needless to say, these pillows may
be ornamented in many ways that
would not do if they were intended for
young babies, for the roughness of lace
and padded embroidery bruises the
infant faces.

They adopt crime as a career. 1t is
their means of livelihood. They are
