THE FISH CULTURE.

Robert l.. Pell, of New York, Il distinguished
and successful promoter Of the modes of artiti-
cisl fish culture, concludes detailed report Of
his experience with various kinds of fish in the
following Words
From experiments that have tried in the
artificial breeding of fish, am convinced that
the ova of all varieties may be carried, after
mpregnation, three or four thousand miles, in
water occasionally, arated, and planted as suc-
cessfnlly as if deposited by the parent fish. For
this purpose, form hollow spot adjoining q
clear and rapid stream Of water, say twenty
feet long and eight feet wide; fill this space
with coarse gravel to the depth Of six inches,
and on this foundation place fine gravel and
coarse sand to the depth of six inches more,
plant your eya one-and-a-half inches deep in
furrows, and cover them so that the whole
space presents an even surface, then let in the
water to the depth of seven inches at the up
per end, and six at the lower, forming uni
form gentle current over the whole space. The
sluice must be 80 regulated as to keep up the
same supply and depth Of water at all times. In
this way millions Of fish may be bred, protected
to the proper age, and then turned into the
rivers or ponds to grow and increase. Last
summer impregnated the ora Of sbsd, and
planted them in ditch quarter of mile in
length, extending from one pond to another, in
the most careless manner possible, not even
taking the trouble to cover them, and they pro-
duced tens of thousands Of young shad, which
use IS food for my pickered and perch.
A breeding pond should have grass around
the sides, and occasional graral beds rising to
within two inches of the surface, for the fish to
spawn upon; two females and one male will
stock an acre pond in two years; and in three
years i: will be necessary to put in few male
perch or pickere to thin them out. If eels
and bul-heads get in your pond, as they inevi-
tably will in short time, saturate the water
with quick lime, and in few hours the fish
will all die and come 10 the surface, when they
may be used as manure, and will produce, on
account of their rich oily nature, the most luIu.
risnt effect OR land.
Fishes, in natural history, form the fourth
in the Linnpsn system; their popular division
is into fresh and salt water fish. A very few
species ascend rivers to deposit their oya, We
know something about four hundred varieties,
and nothing about eight hundred more.
What is the experience of our Southern
"Fi.h Planters and especially Of those in our
own State?

THE MILKING MAID IN THE MORNING

THE MILKING KAID IN THE H0RHINe
By PRIvATRBR.
When the dew is on the clover,
And the gorse in Autumn bloom,
And the primrosc-beds all over
With acorn cups are strewn;
And the lazy rocks sit cawing
High upon the tallest tree,
1 lead my hcifers, lowing,
To the milking through the lea.
Then calls to me
Tho cuckoo free;
And the blackbird, at the dawning,
Sings clear and ripe,
With his golden pipe,
To the milking maid in the morning
When the bloom Is on the bean stalk,
And the hare in green hcdge-rows
Washes her face with the dew-drops,
call to my new mich COWS.
The partridge springs, on dcwy wings,
And the pheasant, under the boush,
Flashes the sheen of.his purple rings,
As my milk-white heifers low
And sings for me,
In green wood tree,
The throstles fine at the dawningi
And the sky-lark, he
Pipes cheerily,
To the milking maid in the morning
Porter's Spirit.

ToyArOEs.-A correspondent Of the Genesce
Furmer gives his mode of growing tomatoes.
He forwards his plants in hot-bed or green
house, and grows them in pots until they are q
foot or foot and half high, turning them out
about the second week in May. He plants them
three feet apart in rows. When planted he
drives down few stakes, six or eight feet apart,
leaving them about four feet high the whole
length of the rows, and mailing strip of wood
all along the tops, and tying one or two lower
down the stakes to make trelis. The ground
should be dug deep and made rich with manure,
and spoonful of guano mixed with the soil
round each root. We quote: When they have
grown sufficiently long to tie to the trelis, Sc.
lect two or three of the longest shoots and tie
them loosely to the trellis cutting away all other
small luterals which may grow on the main
branches. let these main branches grow un-
til they have come IN flower and set the first
bunch Of fruit then pinch out the top one
Joint above the fruit, leaving the leaf entire.
then allow it to 60 on again until it has lowered
and set another bunch of fruit. when the top is
pinched ont one leaf above the bunch, same as
the first, and 80 on uf all the rest, taking care
to cut all the laterals wh;ah may grow on the
main branches down to the axles of the leaves,
as often as they are produced, but leaving the
leaves entire.
If any one will take this little extra trouble, he
will be amply repaid and absolutely astonishcd
at the immense clusters of fine large tomatoes
he will have. If planted in favorable sitiua-
ton, they will ripen at leust as early as those
grown in any other way out of doors, and FIRE.
auently three days or week earlier. When
ripe they will hang longer on the vines without
decayng. The situation eau hardly be too sum
ny. Deep light losmy soil suits them best"

SOWING CLovEE-An experienced farmer
writes: Last spring I sowed field of spring
wheat dragged in well then with hand sower
sowed on clover and timothy seed both mixed
brushed in with light brush and at harvest the
clover was very thick, and so high that the reaper
topped the most Of it in cutting the grain, which
was fair crop also. Persons who were used
to raising clover, said they never saw better
stand the first year than this was. 1t would
have been good fall crop of hay; but pas
tured it, which amply paid ME for the time and
seed, though expected to keep it for meadow
The timothy made poor show last season
Perhaps it may come out better this year. Bu
experience teaches me that fall sowing is the
best for timothy.
