MOST USEFUL OF FISHES,
THB CODFISH INDUSTRY IN NEW
FOUNDLAND.
How tho Flahormc-n Cnptnro Thin
Royal Fish and What They lo to
f (ft 111m Hearty for Market.
The cod is king wherever he lives. IIo
Is a swift, fierce, powerful fish. Of all
the commercial fislies ho is incomparably
the most useful. No part of him is
without a function in the serving of man.
His head, bones, ami intestines are used
in the manufacture of rich fertilizing
compost. Isinglass is mado from his
swimming bladder. Tho roc is exported
as bnit for the French sardino fishery.
The liver is famous for the great curative
oil that is extracted from it, and tho rest
of tho cod is pure flesh. His homo in
the waters of tho Northern and Western
Atlantic extends over about 250,000
square miles and along a coast-lino from
Labrador to Capo llattcras, which in all
its sinuosities is about 6300 miles long,
Of this vast hunt over 200,000 squaro
miles in area and over 5000 miles in
lateral extent appertain to the llritish
possessions. Tho temperature of the
waters within which he keeps himscll
does not greatly vary from 39 degrcci
to 42.
So soon as tho enplin flash their silvery
scales in the sunlight about the coasti
tho fishermen become active. Thi
generally occurs as the month of Juno
opens. Tho caplin (pronouuee it cape
lin) is one of the most beautiful little
fishes in the sea. It is six or seven
inches long and most delicate of flavor.
It como in uncountable myriads, with tin
cod in swift and greedy pursuit. Th
fishermen begin thoir work by catching
the caplin, for the run lasts only about a
week, and in that time enough must b
caught for bait to last until tho squid
arrive. The catch is enormous. 8c
plentiful are the fish, and so easily taken
by seining, that a great surplus beyond
the needs of the fishermen accumulates,
No method haslet been found of pre
serving the caplin, and all this surplus,
amounting to thousands of barrels, ii
used as a fertilizer. It seems shameful
that this exquisite little fish should bt
put to such base purposes.
Being now well stocked with bait, th
fishing harvest begins. The banking
fleet hurries out to sea, and the smalle(
boats, little two-masted schooners ol
from twenty to forty tons burden, go and
como at dawn and nightfall to their fish
ing grounds just off tho coast. Varioui
devices are use! for catching tho fih,
many of them injurious and wasteful. The
hook-and-line is used along the shores
extensively, and this is the least destruc
tive and also the least remunerative in
strument. The sciue, the cod-net, the
cod-trap and the bultow are generally
employed. Except tho bultow, these are
nil nets, variously constructed. Thej
have gradually done so much harm to tin
shore fijjjiarics that laws have had to bf
passed regulating the size of the mesh.
In many of tho bays and harbors where s
few years since cod were plentiful scarce
ly a fish can now be taken, and serioui
concern is felt lest the shore fisheries hav
declined beyond hopo of replenishment.
This fear has led to the estab
lishment by the Newfoundland Govern
ment of a Fisheries Commission, which
has been busily experimenting with a cod
hatchery. Tho superintendent of the
hatchery is a distinguished Norwegian,
and his intelligent and suggestive work
has been of great service to the Commis
sion and to the colony, lie has probably
solved the problems of cod-hatching, and
a revival of the shore-fisheries is confi
dently anticipated. On tho banks the
bultow .is almost exclusively used ia
catching the" fish. It is simply a multi
plication of the hook-and-line. Several
hundred hooks, each attached to a fine
hempen line, are suspended at interval!
upon a series of long, stout lines. Each
hook is baited. There aro sometimes
twenty rows of these hooks, all well
fastened, eachtaiw connected with the
Others, and.tho whole contrivance so
cured 'against the bank currouts by stand
moorings. They are overhauled ever
morning.
So soon as the fisherman's boat is well
laden he makes for his "stage." This is
a covered platform of fir-poles, project
ing over the water and held up by other
aud. heavier poles. Stages and 'flakes,"
which are uncovered platforms where tho
cod are laid out to dry, lino the water
front of every fishing village. The fish
are tossed with a "pew" a two-pronged
pitchfork from the bottom of the boat
to the outer floor of the stage. There
they are passed, one by one, through a
littlo window in the stage. The "cut
throat" seizes them as they come in. lie
is a human being, selected fur this work
because of his expertness with the knife.
He is armed with a long, sharp, poiuted
blade. He makes three swift and dexter
ous cuts. One severs the cord connect
ing the gill-covering with the body. The
second slits tho abdomen clear to the
vent. Tho third lays the head open to
the base of the skull. All this is done so
quic kly that a watcher's eyes are quite un
able to analyze the cutthroat's mo
tions. He slides the fish now to the
"header," who extracts tho liver,
inreuches off the head and removes the
Viscera anil cuts out the tongue and the
"sounds," or air bladder. Everything
is carefully preserved, for everything in
and about a codfish possesses a comnier
liid value. When the "header" has
done the "splitter" begins his work. Ho
places the fish on its back and draws a
sharp kuife along the left side of the
hackbouo clear to the base of the tail.
Then, as the bsh lies open on the table,
with a quick blow ho snaps tho backbone
just above the tail aud cuts tho tail
away. The "Salter"' proceeds to the
performance of his functions just so soon
as this has beeu done. Ho washos the
lihh with great care, not permitting any
blood to remain upon it, and then he
covers it with salt and leaves it in little
uiouuds on the floor of the stage.
All this work muut be done so soon as
the fisti is caught. It cannot be left
tweuty-four hours without salt. It re
mains for a day or two in this condition
of pickle, and is then washed and laid
upon the flake in rows to dry aud bleach
iu tho suu aud air. It is taken in every
night and wheuever the weather is damp
or rainy. When thoroughly dry it is
nored until the "planter" buys it, or,
having already bought it, until he wishes
to put it upou the market. Then it goes
to bt. John's and is exported to Spain,
Portugal, Austria, Italy and Brazil. The
l atch is considerably larger than that of
Canada, Norway or the United States. It
timouuU annually to from 1,000,000
ijitiutals to 1,200,000, aud it brings to
Newfoundland from 1,500,000 to $0,-.

CLEANI.NO A WniTE STRAW BAT.
One economical young wife has found
out that sulphur will not clean a white
straw hat. Obterving that her husband's
last year's hat was soiled, she cheerfully
informed him that she knew how to clean
it so that it would look just as good as a
new ono. A friend in Brooklyn gave
her tho receipt. Tho husband had some
misgivings, but, being accustomed to let
his wifo havo her own way, ho surren
dered his hat, and the wife immediately
treated it to a bath in sulphur fumes.
Tho fumes were so strong that they nearly
drove four families out of the house, but
the economical young woman only smiled
confidently as she held a damp sponge to
her nostrils. When the hat came out of
the bath it was perfectly black. Except
that the blackness rubbed off, the hat
would have been as good as the geuuiue
black straws that are now so popular.

SIMPLE METHOD OF rRESKRVINO FRCIT.
A writer in a foreign journal says that
he has preserved large quantities of
fruit, every season for more than forty
years in pure water only. The fruit is
placed in wide-mouthed bottles up to
tho neck ; then water is poured iu to
cover the fruit; the bottles are then
placed in heat where thoy remain until
near the boiling point. They are then
put aside to cool, and when quite cold a
small quantity of olive oil is gently
poured into each bottle ; they are then as
gently put on a shelf in a cool, dry
pantry, where no scrubbing ogre is al
lowed to disturb them, until they are
wanted for use. The mouths of the
bottles arc left uncovered and uncorked ;
the oil keeps out tho air effectually.
Tho only failure he has had tor many
years was when three bottles of Orleans
plums fermented. They were quite
ripe when bottled, and it should be
borne in mind that there is a point
where ripeness ends and decay com
mences. The writer docs not hesitate,
he adds, to use old pickle-bottles, and
even glass jars that havo come with
French plums ; but he prefers bottles,
foi when the water reaches half-way up
to the neck, only a small quantity of oil
is required. Sea York Witneu.
MANGOES.
Melon Mangoes Select small, green
musk melons. Cut out a small piece, re
move the seeds with a spoon and scrape
out the soft part. Make a strong brine,
pour over the melons, cover and let stand
twenty-four hours; drain and take from
the brine.
Make filling for two dozen melons of
two heads of cabbage, chopped fine, six
white onions chopped, a teaspoonful each
of ground cinnamon and cloves, a table-
spoonful of grated horse radish, a table-
spoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of
black pepper and one pod of red pepper;
mix all well together. Fill the melons,
replace the piece cut out and tie securely.
Put the melons in a large stone jar, cover
with strong vinegar and sot aside for tea
hours; then put iu a kettle and let sim
mer gently for twenty minutes; return to
tho jar, pour strong, fresh vinegar over
and stand aside all night; in the morn
ing drain ofi the vinegar, last pour over
the mangoes again, cover and set aside
in a cold place.
Oil Mangoes Put large cucumbers or
green peppers in strong brine for six
days. Wash and remove the seed ; stuff
with one pound of mustard seed, quarter
of a pound of ginger, half a pound of
black pepper, half a teacup of celery
seed, and three ounces of mace; mix
these ingredients with half a teacup of
olive oil ; fill the mangoes with it. Put
in a stono jar, sprinkle with a pound of
salt, pour over cald vinegar, press down
and keep well covered.
Pepper Mangoes Cut the tops from a
dozen red, and half a dozen green pep
pers. Remove the seeds, stand the pep
pers in stone crocks, put a teaspoonful of
salt in each, pour over cold water, and
let soak two days. Chop a large head of
cabbage, season with mustard, cloves,
allspice, cinnamon and suit; stuff tho
peppers with the mixture; put on the
tups, place in a stone jur and cover with
cold vinegar.
Tomato Mangoes Select smooth, full
grown green tomatoes, cut oil the tops
and take out the seeds, fill the cavitios
with salt, pour over water and let stand
twenty-four hours; chop a head of cab
bage, two bunches of celery, a root of
horse radish; season with spices, mus
tard, pepper and suit; fill the tomatoes,
put in a jar, cover with cold vinegar.
Peach Mangoes Pour boiling water
over fifty peaches aud let stand two days;
take them out aud split them on one
Bide aud put to soak in tumuric vinegar
for two days. Take out the seed, fill
with a stuffing mado of chopped peaches,
mustard and celery seed, brown sugar,
ginger, ciunamon, cloves, chopped onions
and giecn pepper. Sew up and drop in

MEASUREMENT OF HAT.
A mow twenty-two feet long, elgfctton
feet wide and twelve feet high, filled
with clear timothy hay which has been
pressed by the weight of wheat piled on
the top of it will contain about fifteen
tons of hay, estimating 830 cubio feet
to the ton. But ii tha hay is mixed with
clover, or with red top and other common
grasses, there will Dot be more than ten
tons in the mow. It is difficult to esti
mate the weight of hay without seeing
it, as there is to much variation in quality
and kind as to greatly interfore with an
accurate judgment. Seit York Times.
MOSS-COVERED TASTCRKS.
There is more than usual amount of
moss infold pastures (ais year, an indica
tion, first, that the season has been un
usually wet, and secondly, that the soil
needs draining. Moss grows where
nothing else will. The land may have
an abundance of latent fertility, but only
such rudimentary plants as the mosses
can use it. If the moss has not appeared
in previous years, plowing and rcseeding
with clover and timothy will cure the
evil. So long as the clover lasts the
moss will usually not appear, as the clover
roots will themselves afford sufficient
drainage. After the clover dies out moss
quickly comes in, as the grasses which
succeed it do not extend their roots
downward, and have less power to re
move superfluous water. Uotton Culti
vator. Tns work or earth worms.
Darwin estimated that worms, by
swallowing earth for the sake of vegeta
ble matter it contains and forming cast
ings, bring to the earth as much as ten
tons of earth per annum on an acre.
Worms are great promoters of vegeta
tion by boring, perforating and loosening
the soil and rendering it pervious to
rains and the fibres of plants by drawing
straws and stalks of leaves and twigs
iuto it, and most of all, by throwing up
such infinite numbers of lumps of earth
called worm casts, which form a floe ma
nure for grain and grass. The earth,
without worms, would soon become cold,
hardbound, void of fermentation, and
consequently sterile. This has occurred
in many places where the worms havo
been either accidentally or intentionally
destroyed, and the fertility of the soil
thus lost has only been restored when
the worms had been collected again and
resumed their fertilizing work. Sew

LARGE AND SMALL NCRSERT TREES.
Every intelligent nurseryman has had
customers who wants "large trees" to
set out. A purchaser once said to the
nurseryman: "I want big trees, none of
your puny ones; I may not live long
enough for the small trees to bear." He
took all the large trees he could find
In three years he called again. "I sup
pose," said the nurseryman, "that you
wish only largo trees; I cau supply you."
"No," said the purchaser, "I don't want
any of your monsters. I've had enough
of them; they either died or made no
growtn not one grew nail as well as
the small ones. Give me your small.
thrifty trees; they are the ones for me."
I be truth is, no nurseryman can afford
to dig up half the large and long roots of
me large trees, wmcn nave alreaay run
many feet in every direction,and they are
cut ou to mere stubs. 1 ears ate required
for them to recover from the shock of re
moval, even if they grow at all. Tho
small and thrifty ones are removed with
a large portion of their young roots, aud
are scarcely checked by the removal.
They cost less in digging, less in pack
ing, less in freight and express charges,
and less in setting out. The Country

8KIMS AND MAKES BUTTER, TOO.
A practical machine fof dividing new
milk into skim milk and butter at one
operation has beeu devised. It consists
of a separator revolving 6000 revolutions
per minute in the usual way. Skim milk
accumulates at the periphery and the
cream masses itself into the vertical an
nular layer lnsido it. In the centre of
the vessel is an inner open-topped com
partment, slightly conical, the mouth be
ing the smallest part. The cream gradu
ally accumulates in this inner vessel, in
which is a light paddle-wheel or cage,
This wheel runs loose on its spindle and
by an eccentric arrangement can be
pressed into the wall of cream around the
inside of the compartment, when it re
volves at tho same peripheral speed.
The following is a summary of the expla
nation of its action by the makers: Cream
consists of butter globules miked with
small quantity of skimmed milk. If the
last traces of milk be removed the
globules will coalesce and form perfectly
pure cream. The bars of the wheel keep
parting the cream anu thus enablo the
skim milk that was in the cream to es-
cae therefrom, leaving only pure butter
globules, which coalesce somewhat to
gether and escupe from the drum by
spout provided for them. Courier-Jour

WHAT FEEDI.NO CHICKENS COSTS.

The writer also adds the following as
on exultation of the fact that the hens
cau beat the cows:
"I cluim that I can take care of this
flock of hens with less labor than two
cows require. Drive up your i 94 worth
of cows and show up your figures from
them."
The above is very encouraging tj those
ho know bow to make poultry pav
Like everythiug else the poultry business
demands work and attention. The hens
canuot be neglected any more than the
cow. The writer cleared about $400
from less than 200 hens.
It will be seeu that the skim milk is
figured at one cent a quart, the grain at
iibout what it would cost here, the clover
rowen ut fid a ton, and the small potu
toes at about twenty-five cents a bushel
By these liberal estimates the cost is ma
teriully increased, but the ration is a pro
(table one to study. Striking out the
poultry food, and fixing the value of the
second crop and potatoes at what they are
worth here, th cost per day would b
about two mills and one-third per head.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Avoid waste in garnering grain.
Sharp tools save time and labor.
Straighten up the sagging gates.
Lead and diroct your field force.
To make corn grow stir the soil.
A successful breeder must be a good
feeder.
Assort well and pack neatly all fruit
for marketing.
Shallow culture of hoed crops is now
the orSer of the day.
The medium weight animal usually re
turns the most profit.
Large growing trees should not bo
planted in small yards.
Examine your lambs. If infested with
ticks, give them a dip.
Fix your watering place so that the
animals cannot foul it.
Do not let any wecdr go to seed
around your house or barn.
It is important that the corn crib be
cleaned out aud fumigated so as to de
stroy insects.
Wire screens in tho stable windows "to
keep out insects will enable tired horses
to rest better at night.
If you are going to save any herbs, cut
them just before full bloom, tit in small
bundles and dry in the shade.
Having begun fruit growing, stick to
It is not a business to bo picked up
one day and dropped the next.
July Is the best month to kill weeds.
Cut them off close to tho ground, dry in
the sun, and burn the night of tho second
day.
For supplying any one of two missing
Ingredients to tho soil, we must have re
course to commercial fertilizers if we
consult economy.
Bo sure to provide your calves with a
cool, shady place in which to escape from
lcs. It will save flesh and put money
into your picket.
So far plaster and salt have been of
very little use this year. The season has
been too wet. In a dry season both have
beneficial influence
If possible get into that lino of farm
ing which you like. You will be much
more likely to succeed thau with one
that is distasteful to you.
Keep alfalfa closely cropped if the
weeds are growing among it. In this
manner the weeds will be killed, while
tho alfalfa becomes stronger.
The cost of a bushel of grain or a
pound of butter on one farm is no guide
to the cost of the same on another so
much depends upon conditions.
When cattlo have to go too far for
water they will often go without to their
discomfort, and when tbey get to the
water they will drink to their injury.
Eggs are a most excellent articlo of
food, and should be produced in suffi
cient abundance on every farm to meet
the daily demands for table use, if not
more.
Tho care required for a good crop of
abbages will raise a good crop of cauli
flowers. Abundant manure, with thor
ough and careful cultivation, are the
secrets of success.
Experiments with tho Bordeaux mix
ture as a remedy for grape rot is being
made in every section this season, and it
is believed that in a few years the disease
will be under control.
Earthworms in dry weather sometimes
work their way through the soil to the
well and fall in, thus contaminating the
water to a certain extent. If possible the
curbing of all wells shculd be cemented.
Wherever weeds grow luxuriantly tho
ground is usually fertile and such ground
should be mado to produce some kind of
crop. At this season millet or Hun
garian grass should bo sown on such
land.
If you must, or think you must, feed
corn to the horses during the winter, do
let up on the practice in summer. Feed
ing a horse corn in summer is a good
deal like building a Are in the parlor
stove on the Fourth of July.
There is novcr too much good butter
on the market, out tnero is always a
large supply of inferior butter. The
prices are not relegated by tho quantity
so much as by the quality. Good butter
sells at a high price at all seasons ol the
year.
The following is highly recommended

A BIjr Redwood.
The mammoth redwood tree which
the citizens of Kern County selected as a
portion of their exhibit at the World's
Fair and had felled recently, has arrived
In Porterville. It took ten wagons to
haul the section of the tree selected for
the exhibit, and en route to Porterville
one of the wagons broke down and the
driver narrowly escaped being crushed to
death. The giant redwood was photo
graphed and pictures of it will be ex
hibited in this city in a few days. San

All the year round, you may
rely upon Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify
the blood and invigorate the
system. It's not like the
sarsaparillas, that are said to
be good for the blood in
March, April and May. The
"Golden Medical Discovery"
works equally well at all
times, and in all cases of
blood - taints, or humors, no
matter what their name or
nature.
It's the cheapest blood -purifier,
sold through druggists,
because you only pay for the
good you get.
Your money is returned if
it doesn't benefit or cure you.
Can you ask more?
" Golden Medical Discov
ery" contains no alcohol to
inebriate, and no syrup or
sugar to derange digestion.
It's a concentrated vegeta
ble extract; put up in large
bottles; pleasant to the taste,
and equally good for adults or
children.
The " Discovery " cures all
Skin, Scalp and Scrofulous
affections, as Eczema, Tetter,
Salt-rhcum, Fever-sores, White
Swellings, Hip -joint disease
and kindred ailments.
