STATE STRONG Box BULGES
Unexpected Receipts Bring Million
More Than Wisconsin Treasury
Held Year Ago.

Madison State Treasurer Dahl
reported to Gov. McGovern that at
the opening Of business on Dec. 1
there was $2,59G,628.19 in the state
treasury Of that amount $2,146,-
901.39 was in tn general fund Spe-
cial appropriations by the legislature
and current expenses of the state
government come out of the general
fund. The big balance in the gen
eral fund is largely due to the fact
that the revenues from Inheritance
taxes, settlement of back tax suits
against the railroads and other
sources We're larger than was ex-
pected. The balance in the state
treasury on Dec. 1, 1910, was ST.
5O3,392.62, or S1,O93,235.57 less
than that of this year. The balance
in the general fund on Dec. /, 1910,
was $91G,726.01, or $1,234,175.38

Fishermen have Method by Which
Thousands Of Pounds of Big Fish
Are Taken Yearly.

Trawling is the most common way
Of taking Goldfish, says the Edison
Monthly. Two men put out in a dory
and ancher a pair of buoys a short
distance apart. z little further on
they set a second pair.
A line or trawl is stretched be
tween each pair; hooks are attached
at distances of about a foot and each
hook is baited with a herring.
There is no bigger fool than a her
ring" is a common saying among the
fishermen. They are the prey for ey-
cry fish, particularly the cod, and for
this reason, as well as for the ease
with which they are caught herrings
are used as bait
A ring Of slender saDlings. known
as herring weir, is built in one of
the numberless little bays along the
coast OF Maine The saDlings are set
about six inches apart with a funnel
