—North Sea fishermen handle 10,000’mil/lion fishes of al! sorts and sizes, from the giant ray to the tiny whiting, every year. The twin ports of Yarmouth and Lowestoft have alone received 900 million herrings in one season. One acre of the North Sea or the English Channel is capable of yielding as great a weight of food as 100 acres of the best grass land in Sussex. There has boon quite a run on fowl farms lately, but when we consider that the cod produces eight million eggs, the domestic fowl has to take a back seat. It is estimated, however, that only one egg in 10 millions lives to “grow up.” Salmon produce 1000 eggs for cvery_ 11b of their weight, and though the canning factories of Westerri Canada.' and tho_ United States are working hard all the time to supply the world's demand", the fish still run up the rivers in hundreds of thousands. A sow belonging to a farmer at Wootton (Kent) haa given birth to a litter of 13 pigs, all of them sows. It is believed to bo unique for all pigs in a litter to be of one cex. Bo on guard against influenza. Take “NAZOL,” the ready-for-ueo and moneysaving remedy. 60 doses Is 6d.—Adrt.
