Fish Farming.

The attention given in England
within the last few years to the arti-
fetal production of fish, is already
Welding bountiful returns. No doubt
remains that rivers before barren can
be made fruitful, and that those
affording meager supplies may be
benefited largely by judicious protec-
ton. In regard to salmon, it is only
necessary to open the spawning
grounds to fish coming from the sea,
enable them to ascend rivers without
impediments, protect the young fish
from destruction, and nature will do
the rest. These facts are now we'll
understood in England. The London
Times says:
It is gratifying to state that even
this beginning of a better system has
resulted not only in a decided in
crease of supply, but in preceptible
diminution of price Our lordly fish
mongers Of the metropolis have not
scondescended to lower their terms,
but in the country, generally, salmon
for the last year or two, have been
both cheaper and better 1t should
be remembered, too, that this decline
in price, if not very considerable in
itself, has been established in the face
of a general rise in the chief acrticles
of food" y 9fa' -'i.-. i
Legislators in the United States,
who have interposed to save some of
our choice varieties of fish from ex-
termination, will find in. such state
ments as these. encouragement to per-
severe in their efforts.

The French ounces.

We often receive inquiries as to
the quality and character of the fruit
of the Anglers and the Paris of Fonte-
nay varieties of the French Ounce, so
commonly used as stocks for the pear
in raising dwarfs.
In answer to a request in relation
to this subject, we have been furnish
ed with some useful information by
w. P. Townsend of Lockport. who
has Thoroughly tested the different va
rieties by fruiting, and is well known
to be one of the most successful cult
vators of the ounce. He says that
the fruit of the Anglers is similar and
equal to the common Orange Ounce,
with the exception that the Anglers is
later, and little harder in texture
He states that the Fontenay is not so
good, but more like the old Pear
Ounce, in shape and texture. Both
appear to be as productive as the
Orange Ounce. the Anglers is dis
tinguished in the tree by its more Wig
orous growth, and by its idowny
shoots and larger and thicker leaves
while young When older, it closely
resembles the Fontenay, except that
the latter has more small side shoots,
and grows thicker. The Anglers has
darker wood, and short, stout thorns.
P. Barry says that both varieties bear
good fruit-the Anglers being the larg-
est and best, and excellent in quality.

True and False Rconemy. /

A Spencer County correspondent,
In a letter inclosing his subscription

!" Besides the incaleulable benefit
which the young people of my family
have derived from the regular perusal
OF the JOURNAL, it has putmany dol
lars in my pocket by keeping me
better posted than my neighbors as to
the prices of farm products. APP
propos of this, we will relate lit
tie story" that came under our own
observation, in another part of the
country, some years ago. .b.msa =.
There were two farmers living on
adjoining farms, one of whom took a
paper and read it, g till half it's con-
tents decked his head" The other
was too penurious to pay for paper,
or to allow himself time to read one.
This man had, in his granary, some
fifty bushels Of beans, the ordinary
price of which was about fifty cents
per bushel But the Crimean war
and other causes, sent the price of
beans up to S. 90 per bushel, which
fact the reading farmer learned
from his paper. Going over to his
neighbours house 'to have friendly
chat one evening, the bean question
was quietly introduced, and the far
mer who " couldn't afford to take a
paper sold his fifty bushels to
his shrewd neighbor at 81 IS cents
per bushel, losing on the little opera
ton 1852 80, enough to have paid for
newspaper for eighty years.

FAD Horses On the Farm.

A writer in the Mark Lone Express
has the following on the expediency
Of farmers undertaking to breed
horses for racing purposes: ai 81
There are few, and but very few
farmers, who pay especial attention to
breeding race horses. This is more
speculative business than breeding
horses for hunting. It may answer
pretty well to procure good entire
blood horse, and travel him, or let
him stand as a stud horse; but to
breed horses for racing purposes re-
quires great knowledge of the turf,
and a great expenditure of money in
brood mares and covering fees and
management. To make way as race
horse breeder the stock must be of
first-class blood, and these are very

Manure.

} 1t may be of some interest and i'm
portance to your readers to know the
loss of manure endured by letting it
remain for any length of time in the
pile.
100 cubic feet ofmanure is reduced
in 81 days, 26.7 per cent; in 254 days,
35.7 per cent; in 384 days, 375 per
cent; in 1893 days, 528 per cent.
Generally you may estimate that
manure, as it is mostly carried out of
the stables and from the manure yard,
has already lost twenty-five per cent.
The proper plan is to carry the ma
nure at least twice week, directly
from the stables, or yard, Tin winter
time) on the land and plough it I'M
der as soon as possible, Though the
land has to be dry and in proper state
for ploughing.)
Often the weather will prevent you
from doing so for some time, but the
air in winter being less moist and the
sun having less power, less ammonia
escapes in this way than if you keep
it in a pile. The snow and rain will
wash the manure to the earth, and
very little will be lost. Another
great advantage by following this plan
is, that the fresh stable manure
ploughed under, will undergo its pro-
cess of fermentation in the ground,
instead of in the manure pile, and
thereby enrich the soil, as it not only
retains the ammonia of the manure,
but also draws ammonia from the at
mosphere. Besides this plan enables
you to manure a larger amount of
acres with the same amount of ma
nure.-L. A. H., IN Prairie Farmer.

the branches chopped off within a

inches apart, set in rough wooden
frame; betwixt them a projecting
movable scoop for turning over the

its construction. 1t cost even as
