To Propagate the Golden Trout
Ihe Lnited Slates fish commission
announces that within a few years one
of the gamest and showiest species of

out of a thousand streams in all parts
of the country where it is now to be
found in but one, and that a must remote
brook. The rare tish lias been mimed

President Uooseveli’s efforts to preserve
it from threatened extermination. The
Roosevelt golden trout at present is the
product solely of Volcano creek, a tur
bulent water course of lift ecu miles in
length on the slopes of Mount Whitney,

which were seut to the fish cultural
station at Bozeman, Mont., and Lead

Demand for Trained Fariyrm.
The last ten years has seen an enor
mous Increase in the demand for men
trained in agricultural lines. The num
ber of such men has enormously in
creased, but the demand Is not yet sup
plied.
Many of us can look back twenty
years to the time when untrained men
were at the head of agricultural in
struction in most of our agricultural
colleges. These men had to be employ
ed because they were tbe best that
could be found.
One man who rose to be the chief
dairy instructor In a State afterwards
went to a dairy school and took u full
course, showing that he felt that he had
something to learn, even though he
himself had been an instructor.
To-day we are getting the result of
the past twenty years of training in
the agricultural schools and their de
pendencies, the dairy schools. The men
at the head of the departments to-day
are vastly superior in training to tin
men that occupied the same positions

ve Iht* ItotttMi Trees.
When the trunks of cherry trees have
started to decay probably the best way
of checking it is to clean out the dead
wood, paint the wound thoroughly with
whitewash, or, better yet, with Bor
deaux mixture, and then cover the
whole wound with grafting wax or
clay, so as to keep the water out. While
this may not. result in an entire healing
over of the had wounds, it will prob
ably stop lh<‘ decay, and make the trees
last longer than they would if left with
out treatment. Don't be afraid to re
move all the rotten wood, as it adds
nothing to the strength of the tree and
has a tendency to promote rot in the
new tissues. It is quite likely that this
rot started in the tunnel of a borer and
lias gradually spread until it is serious.

Ever try to pull a post out of the
ground V
Tough job, isn't it? Try this: Make
an oak lever three inches in diameter
and seven feet long. To the end of
lever fasten a chain about three feet
long. Also fasten a ring with a hook.
To lift out the post place the chain
twice around it, near the ground; draw
that and fasten to the book. Place an
upright. 4xG inches and two feet long,
under lever about one foot from post.
By pulling down the lever tlie post can
easily be pulled out of the ground.

This is on the lot where the Eiseu

were planted In the usual manner, so
far as hilling and spacing were con

stretched a canopy of white muslin
about tbe size of a man's pocket hand

crossed over the melon hill somewhat
like tbe center wicket in a croquet
ground. The ends of these w ires were
sewed to the corners of the muslin

New* of tlie Grange.
The new $4,000 hall at Bristol. X. if.,
was dedicated by the Newfoundland
grange.
In some States two or more granges
unite and hold Institutes very much
like the regular farmers’ institutes, but
confine tbe membership to the organi
zations. This helps to bring iu new
members.
There are now 418 subordinate
granges in Maine, with a membership
of between 5G.000 and 57.000. Ten new
grange halls were dedicated during the
past year, making eighty-nine halls
owned by granges in tbe State. The
total cash receipts of the secretaire's
office were $11,274.
The National Grange is working on
a broad plan of co-operation and the
results .are promising. The national
officers are studying all questions on
the subject very carefully, and when
the time comes to act they will be iu
a position to avoid many of the mis
takes of organizations that started out
well but fell by the wayside.
There were 1,200 persons in attend
ance at the Ohio State Grange meeting
at Kenton. Twenty-two new granges
had been organized and there have
been large accessions during the year
to granges already organized. The
treasurer showed total resources of
$23,788. The committee in charge of
the trade arrangement reported that
sixty-four tons of binder twine had
boon purchased, worth $12,000, and
fertilizer to the amount of $21,000.

Mme. May Risked Her Life to Gain In
formation.
An application for a license to open a
tobacco bureau has brought to public
notice in France a forgotten war hero
ine, Mme. May. who in 18TU dis
tinguished herself by a series of daring
exploits.
She was born in 1844 near 1,0 Mars,
and was living at Metz at the time the
war broke out. She offered her services
as a scout and was accepted. At lirst
she drove about the country in a cart,
and after some time adopted masculine
attire, which would permit her more eas
ily to move about among the soldiers.
Her cleverness in avoiding detection,
as well as her courage, was soon recog
nized, and she was charged with ear
lying important dispatches to the far
thest outposts along the frontier vil
lages. which exposed her constantly to
the risk of being caught and shot as a
spy. . ,
She was, m fact, captured one day as
she was carrying three important mes
sages through the enemy’s lines to
the commander of the besieged forces at
Thionville. She was searched by the
Germans, who, to their honor be it said,
treated her most decently and sent her
away free, but with strict orders not
to cross their lines again.—Paris Cor.

On a New Footing.
Absalom Foote, an eccentric old man,
who had grown tired of lif- in the city,
decided to move to some smaller town,
free from the roar of traffic, the bustle
of confusion of the thronging multitude,
where he could end liis days tranquilly,
as became a man of his age. lu casting
about for a location his eye chanced to
light upon the advertisement iu a vil
lage paper, of one Thomas jx. Foote,
who wanted to dispose of his boot and
shoe store, at a bargain having made
up his mind to remove to the city.
“That’s the very thing,” he said, “sell
in" shoes is a nice, easy occupation. It
'will give me just enough to do to keep
me from stagnating, and it won’t wear
me out with overwork. I’ll investigate
it. It’s queer, though, that bis name is
Foote, my name is Foote, he wants to
come to the city, and 1 want to go to
the country.”
A visit to the little town decided him.
He liked its appearance and location.
He was pleased. moreover. with
“Foote’s shoe store.” and bought it. good
will and all, at a bargain.
“Well,” said the other Mr. Foote,
“you won’t have to change the sign.”
"No,” he answered, slowly, “I’ll just
add a little to it.”
The next day he added this, just below
the sign:
“This place has changed feet.”—Youth’s

BIGGEST BUFFALO HERD I.EFT.
It Is Expected to Number Close to a
Thousand This Year.
A report comes from Alberta. Canada,
that the largest buffalo herd in the
world, which is corralled near the town
of Lamom, has wintered well. From the
lime the roundup of the herd commenced
in Montana last year less than ILj per
cent. have been lost or died.
According to Fur News, arrangements
are being made to bring up another 300
head, and Michael Pablo is engaged in
getting them together on his ranch in
Montana. Last year the 400 head
brought to Canada were shipped by
freight trains, but several were killed
m loading and unloading.
This year an attempt will be made
to drive the herd up from Montana to
this place, a distance of over eighty
miles. Th's eighty mile drive of 400
wild buffalo will be one of the greatest
undertakings in the history of cow
punching.
Ihe government is calling for tenders
for a w ir<> fence around this preserve,
which will be over seventy miles long
and will cost approximately SBO,OOO.
The preserve is so arranged that for
eighty miles the railroad runs along one
side, giving passengers a chance i.. see
the herd.
This is even now the largest herd ,>f
buffalo in the world. With the arrival
of the other herd this spring it will bo
doubled, and before the end of the year
it is expected to number close upon a
thousand head, with a net increase of
fully 25 per cent, annually.
CREMATION STILL UNPOPULAR.
The Number of Incinerations Growing
but Slowly from Year to Year.
In spile <d the strong sanitary argu
ments advanced in favor of it. the prac
tice ot cremating dead bodies of human
beings is but slowly gaining favor. This
fact is confessed in the annual report
of the French International 1 Teniation
society at Paris.
This society is doing its utmost to in
duce the French people to burn rather
than to bury their dead. Owing to its
efforts the number of incinerations is
growing from year to year, but the in
crease is hardly perceptible.
Most of the cremations in France oc
cur in Paris, as the country do not take
to this method of disposing of the dead.
America, the report says, has the largest
annual number of cremations. There
are thirty-six crematories in the United
States, in which last year nearly 4000
bodies were consumed.
The greater number of the cremations
in this country, it is claimed, take place
in the case of foreigners. Germany has
fifteen crematories, which last year in
cinerated nearly 3000 bodies. In the
Argentine republic there were 07(5 cre
mations. in Switzerland 721. in Great

christening in a small fishing village on
the Massachusetts coast." says a writer
in the current issue of Harper's Week
ly. “The proud father, a young fisher
man. awkwardly holding liis first-born
daughter, was visibly embarrassed under
the scrutiny of the many eyes in the con
gregation. and bis nervousness was not
decreased by the sudden wailing of the
infant as they stood at the font.
“When the time for the baptism of the
babe arrived the bishop noticed that the
father was holding the child so that its
fat little legs pointed toward the font.
*‘ ‘Turn her this way,’ he w hispered,
but the father was too disconcerted to
hear or understand.
“ ‘Turn her feet around,’ the bishop
whispered again; but still there was no
response. The situation was fast be
coming critical, w hen an ancient mariner
in the back of the church came to the
rescue. Putting iiis weather beaten
hand to bis mouth lie roared across the
room. ‘Head her up to the wind. Jack!’ ”
