FRESH WATER OYSTERS.

The economic results which would
follow the successful culture of oys-
tiers in fresh water would he of the
greatest importance, and such posi-
bility is suggested in the observations
of an investigator at the mouth of the
Macta river. in Algeria, who has no.
ticed that oysters are still propagating
at this point in spite Of the fact that
the waters ut the mouth have become
almost entirely fresh as result of
the gradual formation of sand bar,
which keeps back the salt water of the
sea. This change has taken place in a
period of eight years. and, while the
old oysters used to salt water condi-
tons died. their progeny seemed to
become accustomed to the fresher wa
ter asd even attained larger size
Than is customary in salt water.

AS result of this success the past
two years 200 acres of hemp have
been grown by farmers around Wau-

placed on thistle and quack grass in
tested land. The 1911 crop yielded
from 800 to 1200 pounds per acre in
certain instances. When an exceedingly

SOME PLAIN TALK.

Professor W. j. Kennedy, in charge
of the animal husbandry department OF
the Iowa Agricultural college. discuss
ed in a recent address some Of the rea-
sons why farm boys and girls leave
the farm. In summarizing these rea-
sons he states that the chief cause of
dissatisfaction on the part of the wom-
en-, boys and girls is that more atten-
ton has been paid to stock and crops
than to them: that 90 per cent of the
boys and girls who leave the farm for
the city do 50 because of the drudgery
and sechlsion' which they and their
mothers have been compelled to en-
durr. BESIDES these he mentions as
further reasons the lack of labor say
iug devices. which is responsible for a
good deal OF this drudgcry: the lack Of
social privileges. inadequate ana miSdi-
rected educational facilities. the dcca-
dent condition of country churches
ana. lastly. the impossible condition Of
country roads at certain seasons of the
year. 1t hardly need he added to what
Professor Kennedy states that this
problem cannot by any possibility be
corrected until the farmers of the
country as n class land it holds just as
true of men who live in town come
to rate the raising Of wholesome boys
and girls as important a business as
growing fat cattle, sheep and hogs.

THE REINDEER OF ALASKA.

Reindeer are not native to the Alas
kan peninsula. and one of the practical
services which the federal department
Of agriculture has rendered during the
past twenty years has been the inpor-
tation and propagation Of these hardy
animals for the benefit of the natives
of the country. In 1872 Ill reindeer
were brought over from Siberia and
landed on the shore of Port Clarence.
importatiOns ceased. 1,2SO reindeer
had been imported from Siberia. sta
tistics published in June, lg1 l. showed
that the Alaskan reindeer population
had increased to 33,G20. which were
distributed among forty-six herds
along the coast of the Boring sea and
Arctic ocean from the Aleutian is
lands to Point Barrow. At that time
400 Eskimos were owners of the ami
mails. The natives can only become
owners of the reindeer upon serving
an apprenticeship of four years. dur
ing which interval the number of deer
assigned to them is gradually increas-
ed until at the end they have thirty
four reindeer that have been given
them by the government Other ma
tives, not apprentices. may acquire the
animals by barter or purchase. In the
uses which it serves the reindeer is
COW, sheep and horse in one, furnish
ing milk, meat and clothing and motor
power. When it has served its pur-
pose as a milk and draft animal it is
killed and its flesh eaten and its skin
used for clothing. The reindeer re-
Quires neither shelter nor provender
other than that which it picks up it.
self. In summer its food consists OF
coarse grass and weeds and the tender
shoots of scrubby willows and other
shrubs, while in winter it lives on n
certain kind of moss which it has to
paw the snow away to get at. The
average weight of a reindeer dressed
at three years old is about 1870 pounds.
The flesh is of good quality and sells
ut % cents per pound on Alaskan mar
lets. 1t is thought that with the rein

as they are their carcaSseS will be

The Cow Testing association is a
guide, for the farmer, to a better fu-
ture in dairying. In the past, the aver
age farmer has been working in the
dark, without any way to better him
self with certainty. With the associa-
ton, farmer can rise to better and
more profitable way of dairying. The
association, not only helps him to weed
out his poor cows, but it also helps him
to feed more economically and to better
advantage what he is already feeding.

To the Middlebury Register

TO the Middlebury Register
have been asked whether as presi-
dent of the newly organized Board of
Trade | would favor the establishment
OF new industries in Middebury. |
answer clearly and emphaticaly that |
do favor all possible effort to locate adj
ditlonal industries in this town.
One OF the best things that could
happen to Middlebury would be the To-
cation of a manufacturing enterprise
requiring skilled labor. No citizen is
more desirable than the intelligent.
thrifty New England workman. They
are BODYBUILDING and home-loving men,
and if we could bring more of them
here, they would help every interest OF
our town.
believe also in doing everything we
can to promote cooperation in behalf OF
the farming interests of this vicinity
whose welfare is intimately connected
with the prosperity of the village. The
more the farmers prosper the better il
will be for the village, and the more OF
a village we have here the better mar
ket there will be for the farmers, bott
for buying and selling.
believe a board of trade can do great
things for Middlebury. We have more
advantages than we realize and could dc
a good deal to improve conditions if We
could only learn to work together. II

A museum for children differs little
from museum for adults, except that
all the exhibits are so arranged as to be

careful to explain what is to be seen.
and also leads classes of children afield.
Moreover, it is usual to make the
