the question.
The government has for years hired
a veteran fisherman to make the
rounds of the weirs on the little power
boat and keep account Of the fish. All
the man had to go by vas his judg-
ment, but he could tell by a glance at
a fish, ever in the semidarkness of the
car, about what it would weight-ten,
eighteen pounds. 1t was guessing.
Perhaps the government officials in
Washington didn't approve of paying
out money by guess. Whatever may
have been the conclusion, the gov
eminent guesser has lost his job.
Hereafter twelve pounds will be he
fixed weight of every salmon paid for,
1t may weigh eight pounds or it may
weigh twenty pounds, but the fisher
men are to be paid for a twelve

weight is below the average, as the
fish run, but, of cours the fisherman
is not obliged to sell al eighteen or
twenty FOUNDER at the twelve-pound
basis to the government unless he
chooses. He can send it to the mar.

THE official guesser for the United
i States government has lost his
Job. For years the government has
bought live salmon upon the good eye
of a veteran fisherman, who took a
squirt at each fish and their put down
in his book what he guessed to be the
right weight. The bills were paid &C
acknowledgements of dollars.
Every year the government buys
from 600 to 1000 live salmon for
breeding from the weir owners on the
Bucksport, Verona, Orland and Penob-
scot shores. The price paid is the
market rate, from 20 to 35 cents a
pound, with 60 cents bonus for each
fish for the trouble Of keeping them
alive.

salmon is practically impossible, for

Treasury Clerks Are Gagged Like Camorrists

placita was fixed\up as a sort of q
glass house, and several hundred
clerks fired out into that. OF course,
the sun beats down on this glass
house from the time that 1T rises until
it sets, and the result was that about
half the clerks were i'll all of the
time from the heat last summer. So
this summer they have put a great
canvas over this glass house, and
keep water running on it all the time.
The poor clerks that work under
this are turned in in the morning,
and the iron gates are closed like a
stone prison, and to get out to get a
bite to eat in the 80 minutes they
have at noon they have to tell their
name, age. nativity, place Of resi-
dence and a lot of other family his
tory. At least those who have to eat
say hat it seems to them it takes up
enough time to give their pedigree
from the Revolution to now before
they get out without having to do the
same things to get back in. and thai
takes up at least 10 minutes from
their scant half hour from eating. 1t
is said the iron cages are necessary
for the safety of the money which he
clerks are counting, but the treasury
department has been running for
about 100 years with no such safe
guards, and there hasn't been $10o
lost in the whole 100 years. So. after
all, the clerks in that section Of the
treasury department haven't any
thing over the Camorrists who were
shut up in steel cages every day.

Rusty milk utensils have absolutely
no place in the dairy.
The most expensive animal on the

Cows that are on pasture should

QUALITIES OF THE AYRSHIRE
Animal Is Quite Intelligent, Quick to
Learn and of Retentive Memory
Easy to MIX.

The general appearance of an Ayr
shire, as you look at her, is striking.
being alert and full of life and re-
served energy. She is a healthy COW,
rarely having ailments of body and
udder, and you seldom see an Ayrshire
COW but that has four healthy quar-
tiers in her udder and gives a uniform
quantity Of milk from each. She Is
a very persistent mixer, giving a
uniform quality we'll up toward calv-
ing, and many Of them are dried off
with difficulty.
She is very intelligent, quick to
learn and of a retentive memory,
easily taught to take h same place
in The stable and, II required to
change, will in a few days readily
sake the new place. She is quiet
and pleasant to milk, not easily dis
turbed, and will rs a rule yield her
milk as readily to one mixer as to
another, and does not seem disturbed
by any amount of noise in the stable.
AS a dairy cow she is particularly
adapted to the production of milk for
the milkman and for table use, as her
medium size, vigorous appetite and
easy keeping qualities make her an
economical producer, while her even,
uniform production makes her a reli-
able supply, and the richness OF her
milk in total solids places it above
suspicion from city milk inspectors.
Her milk is particularly adapted to
transportation, as 1t does not churn
or SOU easily, and when poured back
and forth a few times will readily
mix the cream back into the milk,
which will not again readily separate,
giving it a uniform quality until the
last is sold or used. 1t has a good
body, is rich looking and never looks
blue. The milk itself being easily
balanced with casein and butter fat,
is a complete food, easily digested,
nutritious, and is particularly adapted
to children and invalids. Stomachs
that are weak inc unable to direct
other milk find no trouble with Ayr
shire cows milk.

Reynolds borrowed q sword and COM

Word was sent to General Grant
that the officer of the Sixteenth, who

General Grant sent an aid for an exact

Alexander Bluffs Ajax In a HymeneaI Mix-Up

A LEX Power and Ajax Tobey, two
"A leading members of the colored

marriage, inasmuch as Alex had led
Aiax's sister to the hymeneal altar
and promised to provide board and

number of charges ranging from
"cussing" to "scrapping."
The statement made by Alex was,
that the lightning defer invaded his

Alex further testified that he had pick

fed the unseen, Ajax wilted when he

cular hands of the brawny Alexander,

leave by the door, but jumped out Of

The Jersey Cow.

In proportion to her live weight the
Jersey is the largest mixer among
the dairy breeds, and she can be de-
pended upon to produce her product
economically, says the Country Gen
tleman. In the st. Louis breed test
the Jerseys consumed but 2 1855 pounds
of nutriment in producing a pound of
milk solids. To produce the same
weight of milk solids the Holsteins
required 1888 pounds of nutriment,
and other breeds still more. AS a
dairy producer the Jersey unites
quantity, quality and economy.

Extra Feed for the Cow.

Pastures have been good and re-
turns at the pail commensurate, but
keep watch nov as the pasture dries
that cows do not shrink in milk, for
it will be nearly impossible to bring
them back to a good flow. Cows fed,
seldom suffer as much from flies as
those on straight grass, and the same
remark applies to horses, perhaps
because they are firmer and sweat
less. Spring calvers are naturally Civ
ing less milk, and with young COWS
that are being developed it is very
important they be maintained on milk
if they are to be persistent mixers.
