DREOGES USED BY FISHERMEN
Apparatus Used to Bring Unknown
Treasures Of the Depths to
the Naturalist.

There are two styles Of dredges by
means OF which the animals and fish of
the great depths are captured-ths
nets which are dragged over the bot.
tom and those tragled just below the
surface, says Popular Mechanics. The
bottom dredge consists of pair OF
heavy iron running frames connected
BY one or two eross-bars, IL feet in
length. Fastened to this frame is a
eone-shaped bag 80 feet long, made OF
heavy web the end of which is closed
by lashing. The dredge is hung
over the starboard side of the ship on
a long boom and by means of steel
cable is slowly lowered to the ocean
bottom, A dial indicates the number
Of feet OF wire out, and a pointer on
scale shows the strain, which often
amounts to five or six tons. upon the
cable. When the dredge has reached
the bottom the ship steams ahead at
about two-thirds Of mile an hour,
dragging the net over the ocean floor.
II remains down for an hour or 80, and
is then slowly lifted to the surface.
The deepest haul which the Albatross
has ever made was five and a half
miles. and 1t was IL hours from the
time the dredge was first lowered until
1t again appeared. The net is towed
beside the ship for a few minutes,

On the dairy farms a short system
OF crop rotation renews old fields,
puts all crops nearer to the manure

Dairying today is the leading branch
of farming. bringing to the farmer the
most money and leaving the land in
the best possible condition to continue
its production.
