REARING TROUT.

Any one with a spring of good soft
water.ean secure the luxury of brook trout
upon his breakfast table every morning
for six months in the year We heard Of
a Massachusetts farmer who, this season,
besides supplying his own table with these
delicious fish, sold three hundred pounds
of fish at fifty cents per pound His pond
was made and stocked only two years ago
at an expense of $50, and covers about an
eighth of an acre of land, and he fully ex-
poets to triple the product next season.
Now, independent of the pleasure derived
from rearing the fish and the luxury OF
eating them, and taking mere practical
dollars and cents view of the case, we
cannot conceive how an eighth Of an acre
of land can be made to yield as much clear
profit under any species of cultivation.
sSolon Robinson, who is known to all
agricultural readers as a practical man
whose opinions are worth something, was
among the fish breeders of New England
last summer, and says1hat the only diff
culties he can see in any way of piscicul-
ture becoming PORTABLE branch of rural
economy is the difficulty of providing for
the fish a sufficient quantity of animal food.
We fancy the animal offal from most
households would go long way toward
furnishing supply. Let the viscera of
poultry and animals slaughtered for the
table and for market be passed through
an ordinary sausage grinder or cutter,
and they will furnish ample food for many
more trout than would suffice the home
demand.--Inrt, Field and Farm.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, June p, 1861
ii. I. HELMBoLD Druggist-DEAR SIR: have
been sufferer for upwards of twenty years with
gravel, bladder and kidney affections during which
time have used various medicinal preparations
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively adj
vertsed, consulted my family physican in regard
to using your EqtractiBuchu.
did this because had used all kinds of adyer-
tised remedies and had found them worthless and
some quite injurious; in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that 1t was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries it occurred to me and my phys
ciaI an excellent combination; and with his add
vice after an examination of the article and CON
sulting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it, l commenced to use 1t about eight months ago,
at which time vas confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you a
full statement of my case at the time hut thought
my improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and see il 1t would
effect perfect cure, knowing that it wonld be OF
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
am now able to report that a cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor nice tonic and iDvgorator of the system
/ do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
may require its use on such affections:
Should any doubt Mr.. McCormics statement, he
refers to the following gentlemen:

of Buchu-the powdered leaves, tncture, fluid eX-

to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to
perseyere in its use, and now at the expiration of
four months, although am infirm old man,
nearly 70 years Of age and consequently medicines
otherwise would | have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbold's
