shallow water In fact, all scale fish
do. AS they deposit their spawn in
from four to eighteen inches Of
water 1t may easily be seen what will
happen if the water falls. This is
how the great dams 90 their deadly
work. For instance, the McCalls
Ferry Power Company at HOLLYWOOD
runs four wheels during the night
and eight wheels during the day,
with the result that the water above
and below the dam rises and falls
about two feet each day and the
spawn is left to wither and dry up in
the sun. This applies to all dams to
some extent, even to small mill dams
which are drained all day and shut
down to fill up over night.
What must be done to stop this
wholesale destruction of our fish is
have law passed by the Legislature
compelling owners of all dams to
keep the water at one stage during
the fish spawning seson. They could
make up the extra power required
above the average flow with steam,
as the spawning season lasts only
two or three weeks. This is a very
serious matter Every man should
take an interest in it and lend
helping hand to bring about
remedy.
OF course our Fish Commission
could not see anything like this.
They seem to be interested only in
fish-ways that no fish ever could get
up but where little eels crawled up
the side and died by millions.

Timothy and Alfalfa.

G. F.. Marsh. County Agent, re-
ports good results from the sowing
of timothy with alfalfa in this
county the past season, where in
many cases the seeded to alfalfa
alone are very faulty.
This method was tried out last
fall for the first time at the recon-
mendation of the County Agent, by
J. H. Kimble, Port Deposit: Reuben
Reynolds, Fair Hill; D. T. Mills,
Childs; ". R. Baldwin. Elk Mills
and Senator Mccullough, Elkton' and
in all cases they had a heavy crop OF
hay, free from weeds. the first cut
ting, and good second crop OF
alfalfa.
Mr. Marsh would strongly urge
the sowing of timothy in all cases
the first time alfalfa is sown on
field, as the cost of fitting field for
alfalfa is too great for the farmer
to take any chances of failure. Be
sure to .inoculate the alfalfa seed.
Culture for two bushels can be OBJ
tanned free of cost from the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Send to G. F,
Marsh. County Agent, Elkton, Nd
for application cards.

Cow Testing Associations Pay.

G. F. Marsh, County Agent, wishes
us to state that he has received
copy of the contract for the establish
ment of cow testing association
from the Dairy Department. He
would be glad to have those interest
ed call at his office and sign the con-
tract, as by SO doing it will give more
time when Prof. Wolcott comes and
they start the canvass to put on the
organization of a second cow testing
association, as only twenty-six farm
ers can belong to one association.
The second year that the cow test
ing association was in operation at
Rising Sun the average production
per cow was increased 1908 lbs. OF
milk and 81 lbs. of butter fat per
year, and this was done on de-
crease in cost of feed of 81 cents. In
other words with an average price
of cents less the same year the
average COW produced $16.25 more
than the first year. The return for
one dollar expended for feed was At
cents greater the second year than
the first.

Why Fish Spawn Die.

destroy many fish and urges Legisla-
tive action. His letter is given be-
low:
Fish are becoming scarce to an
alarming degree; but very few per-
sons realize to what an alarming
degree power dams are destroying
fish spawn each year. After giving
this matter careful attention for. a
period of three years I am in a posi-
tion to prove that dams destroy
ninety-flve per cent. of all the spawn
for sniles above and miles below.
