Trout With Honest Weight OF Six
And Half Pounds, Landed
BY Register.

Salt Lake City, June 26.--E. ID. r.
Thompson, register of the United
States land office, is credited with hav
ing captured the largest native trout
ever caught in Fish lake. The fish
weighing six and one-half pounds,
and measuring twenty-three inches,
Is now on exhibition at the Exchange
bar.
1t was caught at Charles Safeguards
resort. Mr.. Thompson was fishing in
water about fifteen feet deep, near
the shore, among bushes. Last years
record native trout weighed less than
four pounds.
The second largest Mackinaw trout
ever captured in the lake was caught
while Mr.. Thompson was at Fish lake
by f. w. Chambers, state fish and
game warden. Mr.. Chambers is now
at the lake engaged in stripping trout
and incidentally fishing. His capture
weighed twenty pounds. One Macki-
nav taken two years ago weighed
twenty-five pounds. 1t was exhibited
at the Utah state fair.

THAW HOLDS HIS OWN
AGAINST ATTORNEY

White Plains, New York, June 90
Harry X. Thaw and William Travers
Jerome had an all-day debate at TO.
days hearing on Thaw's application
for release from the Matteawan insane
asylum, their frequent verbal passages
at arms keeping the interest of a big
crowd of court room auditors at a
high pitch.
Thaw, while not losing his temper
at any stage, flung back some caustic
replies to leading questions of the at.
torney, who was putting Stanford
Whites slayer through what was
termed mental examination"
The witness repeatedly questioned
Jeromes motives In appearing as the
leading inquisitor in opposing Thaw'
release, and at one point, when he
was asked for whom he thought the
attorney was acting he flung back
with this

purpose of confusing Thaw Shiftln

rhaw replied, refusing to lose his

Asked whether he had ever shopped
n England for a Mrs. Paget, whom
lie mentioned in his will. Thaw said
lie had not.
He shopped for cousins OF Jerome,
lie said, and added:
who certainly must be mighty
shamed of you"
Thaw was not particularly sober
mt in explanation Of one statement
e had issued against Jerome, giving
that to many of his listeners seemed

ty our farmers, and anything that will
help to increase the average yield per
acre should be of interest to them.
Our corn growers are rapidly awak-
ening to the fact that 1t pays to select
and grade their seed corn and to test
its vitality before planting Very little
attention is given to the improvement
of the potato crop by similar means.
although equally. gatifying results may
be quickly, surely ard cheaply obtain
ed with the latter crop if careful at
tention is given to the selection and
storage of the stock used for planting
Any one who has dug potatoes by
hand can not have failed to notice a
great variation in the yields of the diff
ferent hills. The usual method of Sc
lecting the potatoes for planting from
the bin fails to take this fact into con-
sideration. Even though the grower
may chose only those tubers that are
smooth, typical in shape, and of mar
ketable size, he has no way of know
ing whether a tuber answering this
description was one Of several similar
oaes from a high yielding hill or the
only desirable one from low yielding
hill. The method known as "hill se-
lection" overcomes this. weakness and
is the one best adapted to the average
potato growers conditions. It may be
briefly described as follows:
At digging time a portion Of all of
the crop depending upon its size) is
dug by hand, the product of each hill
being placed by itself on the ground
nearby. A general view of the field
after digging will enable the grower
to quickly decide upon certain stand
ard to which those hills that are to be
saved for seed must conform. For
example. the standard may be those
hills which contain at least four or five
uniform. typically shaped tubers of
marketable sizes with few, if any,
small ones. Having decided upon the
standard of selection, as many hills
coming up to the standard as may be
needed should be picked and reserved
for planting the next years crop. The
same process should be repeated with
each succeeding crop.
Farmers Bulletin 365 of the United
States Department OF Agriculture
cites the case Of a Michigan man who
followed the above method of selec-
ton. OF the potatoes grown in the
field the first year, only Is hills out

EconomizInu EIectricitv.

According to the Scientific Ameri-
can of recent Issue, a method of econ
omi1ing electrical energy employed for
domestic heating or cooking is to re-
ceive the energy continuously at a low
rate in resistance apparatus which
transforms it into heat and then stores
the heat for use as needed. In new
electrical cooking apparatus operating
in this way the heating unit, consum-
ing 500 watts total, or 10000 watt
hours per day of "a hours: serves to
keep q mass Of cast iron hot enough
to cook food in ordinary utensils
placed in contact with it. The cast
iron block is thermally insulated by.
being inclosed in surrounding wall of
lampblack or powdered silica, and a
movable block is arranged to be raised
above the main mass, SO as to expose
its upper surface when cooking is to
be done. The small current consump-
ton, less than that of an electrical fiat
iron. enables the device to be oper-
ated on the ordinary electric light wiz
