FISH FARMING NEW INDUSTRY
Method Of Livelihood That Is Begin.
ming to Attract Good Deal
Of Attention.

A new method of livelihood, as ~
as a new method of living, is affczded
by fish farming, which is a rapidly
growing industry. 1t may be lazy
mans job, but for development be-
yond an addition to the family living,
of course, it takes time and attention.
A running stream or an acre of pond
can be made to earn more money than
a well-tilled five-acre farm, says the
Peoples Magazine. The national
government, as well as many states
through their fish commissions, not
only gives free instructions in fish
farming, but will also supply the
young fish or eggs most likely to
thrive best In the locality. But best
OF all perhaps is the recognition that
farmers ELL over the country are com.
ing to, that private fish pond Is
splendid source Of food supply. 1t was
no long time ago when such thing
had not been thought Of Now gen.
orally there is comprehension that
such q private pond costs little to
maintain, and is almost sure to fur
nish far more fish than any one fami.
ly can eat. The demand for fish
adapted to this kind Of pond culture
is greater than the supply, and farm
ers enterprising enough to have ponds
have no difficulty in selling the prod
uct. Many farmers sell eggs as we'll
as fish to other farmers and to the
governments Of state and nation
Private fishing clubs are a great aid
in the same way. Fish can be
shipped anywhere if they are kept
cool and moist, and this makes 1t
easy to find a market almost bound
less in extent. But fish, of course, are
subject to diseases that at times
cause large losses, and the official
fish service Is at work constantly
finding out these diseases and their
remedies. Most Of these diseases, it is
said, come through impure water
caused by contaminated streams. II
the water is kept pure, the fish farm.

Nova Scotia's History.

When discovered by the British in
1497-9S Nova Scotia was not named.
A few years later it was settled by
the French, who called it Acadia. 1t
passed to the English by the treaty Of
Utrecht, in 1713. and they changed the
name from Acadia to Nova Scotia.
This name was first used in q grant
made by King James I, who was born
in Scotland, and chose name in
honor Of his native country. The
royal grant under the name was made
to Sir William Alexander, q Scotch
man, who wrote poor poetry, and was
created Lord Stirling by King James.

Awakening Of Chinese Women.

H"aHSflIiS VI NulSSoC vvOUt0us
Miss Ruth Phillimore of Picking,
speaking at conference Of mission
aries in England some little time
ago, said that people in England had
hardly any idea how much Chinese
women had altered since the revolu-
ton. In Peking it was now COM
mon sight to see q husband and
wife driving out side by side, show
ing how the position of woman in
the household has changed. Women
were taking very keen interest in
politics, and one girl of eighteen was
considered dangerous enough to be
beheaded, while another was COM
PEELED to escape to Japan. In mis-
sionary work both old country and
American missions are doing much
for these women, and the Christian
schools established by them are
looked to hopefully in the way Of
results. Their aim is to train up
, Christian teachers, as 1t is considered
that the Chinese women will do
far more valuable work In evangel-
izing their own people than could
be done by women Of other coun-
tries.

PROFITS ON 4 COWS ARE $2,333
IN YEAR
Senator Uncle ike" Stevenson Does
Not Need Salary Because of
Wealth in Dairy Farm

Kenosha, Wis, April 1O.-United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson, To-
cally known as 'eUncle Ike no longer
needs his salary as a representative in
the upper branch of congress to keep
the wolf from the door, for he has
herd of cows working for him down
on his farm in this county which
promises him a lot more money than
he can get out of being a senator.
Experts from the College of Agricul-
ture have just completed the work of
making a years test Of ten of the
cows of the Stephenson herd, and the
report on their performance is some
thing to make people who believe the
dairy business is a losing one sit up
and take notice. The profit to the
senator on four cows for the year is
shown to be $2333.SO, and in calculat-
ing this profit the estimates made by
the college men have been most con-
sentative.
The best four cows out of the ten,
two 4-year-olds and two 5-year-olds,
each made over $4,000 pounds of milk
and more than 800 pounds of butter for
the year. These cows averaged 275
eight-gallon cans of milk, which were
sold at wholesale at 81 % per can,
making an income from milk alone of
$343.75 from each COW. The value of
this milk at the retail price now pre-
vailing would amount to more than
$500 for each cows
In addition to milk produced one
of the cows gave birth to a male calf
which sold for $500, and the other
three produced heifer calves which
brought $4OO each. The cost of feed
ing these cows for the year was es-
timated by the college experts at
S135.30 per head per year.
The six youngest cows tested all
made creditable records, but the
amount of production was not as large
as the leaders of the herd. The Hol-
stein herd of Senator Stephenson is
declared to be one of the best in the
United States.
1t was originally a hobby with the
senator to raise cattle, but it is now
one of his great wealth producing en-
1 terprises.

Colorado's Water Supply

By John +. Field, State Engineer
The records Of the snow fall since
last October show deficiency
Throughout the state. Even such snow
as we have came largely in the latter
part of the season and has not been
well packed or drifted. 1t is probable
that there will be u normal or large
run-off in May, but a lower run-off
for the year after that time. In the
southwestern part Of the state where
the snow fall was perhaps nearly
normal, the high winds since the first
of March have cut the snow, and
large part of it has disappeared with
out melting.
We cannot say at this time what
the rainfall will be in the months of
July and August. We hope, of course
that we will have considerable rains
and that this will keep up our late
supply. 1t is unsafe TO put too much
dependence, however, on these sum-
mer rains.
1t is believed that in the mountain
areas the parks and wet lands Of the
mountains are fairly well filled with
water, so that the percentage of run
off considering the amount of snow
and rain will be quite large.
Throughout the state the ground
appears to be in excellent shape and
crops should require little water until
the middle of May or first Of June
Reservoir supplies should not be
drawn upon earlier than is absolutely
necessary. If this is done and with
the condition Of the soil as it Is at
present Colorado will have at least
normal crops.
Irrigators should therefore conserve
their supply as far as possible from
this time until the middle Of June
storing water wherever possible.
