THE STATE PRISON FARM

A special from Tallahassee says
that it may probably be several days
before the special committee select
ed to make an Investigation of the
state prison farms submits report
to the legislature. The illness OF

who was a member of the committee,
is preventing the preparation OF a
report.
lust what recommendations the
report will embody will not be ad-
mitted by either Messrs. Millinor or
Lindsay. or other members of the
committee. 1t is thought probably
that they will recommend the pur-
chase of the Ocala property. on
which the state has lease, and the
present system of handling convicts
may be extended gradually until the
lease system is abolished. There is
pending in House a measure which
calls for the abolition of the con-
vict lease system by the first OF
January. 1917
Many members of both houses are
favoring an early abolition OF the
convict lease system, but it is gen
orally predicted that the abolition
of the prison measure will not be
possible. 1t is argued that the
counties are unwilling at present to
hire the convicts for road work, and
that the state is not in position to
give up the revenue that comes from
this source at the present. During
the past few months experiments
have been conducted to a degree at
the state farm in Bradford county
with able-bodied men.-Ocala Ban

led fish at 100000, and shelltish
at very nearly $1,000,000. The war
has. of course, made some differences
in the exports. The most serious dis
location of the trade occurred i'm
mediately after the beginning of hos
tilities, but later a good recovery
was made and the value of exports
since has been almost normal, canned
salmon gaining and shellfish falling
off.

tains detailed import statistics for
nearly every country in Eporpe and
thus affords a means of determining
the Importance of each market and
the kind of fish that finds the most
favor. These statistics have been
compiled from the original sources
by the Bureau and are the most val
liable feature of the report. There
are also complete statistics for the
United States, including a very de-
tailed table of American exports. The

European Markets
For Fish

Washington. d. c., May In
spite of the fact that there are great
sections of the United States where
fish is used sparingly, the output Of
American fisheries is as valuable as
that of any country in the world.
The total production in 1908, the la
test year for which complete statis-
tics are available, was somewhat in
excess of 1893, 900 pounds. If
to this are added a considerable ex-
, cess of imports over exports and a
reasonable increase in the catch
since 1908, it seems likely that the
per capita consumption of fish in the
United States now exceeds 20 pounds
a year,
This is not quite half the per
capita consumption in Great Brit
ain, but it is much larger than that
of most countries and indicates a
very large consumption in the dis
tricts where fish is looked upon as an
essential part of the diet; SO large,
in fact, that in seasons of unusually
heavy catches 1t is impossible to in
crease the consumption sufficiently
to use up the surplus fish. At such
times greater efforts are made to
sell to the inland districts and, to
some extent, abroad. With a view
to assisting the exporters Of Ameri-
can fish and fish products in their eff
forts to find an outlet abroad the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, of the Department of
Commerce, has published report en-
titled, European Markets for Fish. I"
According to this report our ex-
ports abroad heretofore have con-
sisted principally of canned salmon
an American product that is fav-
orably known throughout the entire
world The total exports of all
kinds average about 81 100000 a
year, and of this total, canned SAL
mon is valued at 100000, fresh
salmon at something over $1,5000,-

 One kind of woodwork is selected and millworked to one particular design. The design is worked out, molding fashion, in sections, which may be built up to considerable proportions. For instance, the baseboard is fin ished at the top with a plain, simple o. G. cap that curves gracefully over to meet the plaster, without ,eavlng a level ledge. The same graceful O. U. curve marks the outside finish of all holdings in the three rooms. The crown holding at the joining of the side walls with the ceiling is finished in the same manner at both the upper and lower edges.
 The plate rail in the dining-room is made to correspond. Openwork in the stairway and all other work in che reception hall is turned out in the same way. The buffet at the end of the dining room is connected with the other woodwork by bands of molding at the bottom and top that extend clear around the room, so that the blending of the interior woodwork in the front part of the house is just as pleasing as the general architectural ] effect produced outside.
 Kitchen woodwork is by no means neglected, but the designs are more simple and the finish is all in white.

The plaster ing is done differently to produce diff ferent effects.

 First, strawy manure is tramped six inches deep in the bottom of the holes, then about six inches of the top soil is thrown in, leaving a little mound in the center of the hole up on which the center or taproot should rest.
 The finer, or side roots, are spread out around the little mound, more of the top soil is thrown in and packed tightly around the roots, filling up all air spaces and holding them in proper place.
 Next, some rotten straw, not ma nure, is thrown in, then the rest Of the soil is tramped well around the trees. I do not use any manure next to the roots of trees. The manure is scattered around the trees, the rain takes the fertility down to the roots and the solid matter, while rotting, serves as mulch.
