Royal So Spring Bed.-Messrs L
VAN. VLECK & Son, manufacturers OF
"rhe Royal eighty-six Spring Bed" are
making preparations TO extend their bu-
siness. They commenced to manufAc-
ture these bed bottoms in this place near
year ago, and to-day over two hundred
of our citizens can and are willing to
give their testimony, that they are the
best and most durable spring bed ever
brought into use in this locality, and this
testimony can be given after an expert
ence of from three to ten months. If
further te, 4ony was needed we can
add, that it took the first premium at the
Northern Ohio Fair, at Cleveland, over
seventeen other competitors; also, at all
other fairs where it has competed.
Mr.. j. j. CoRRIE has token an agency
for these beds, and expects to start on
the road with a team next Monday.
Wherever he may go we are satisfied that
ne will find ready sale, as they IT com
mend themselves where once introduced.
One hundred per cent. is added to the
happiness of any community wh,re they
have become in general use. as M man
can find il within him to feel mCrOse at
Ter sleeping over night on one of them.

Egg Throwing at Perrysburg. Par

Egg Throwing at Perrysburg. Par
ties who came down from Perrysburg this
morning, inform us that the law office of
F. & D. X. Hollenbeck, at that place, was
egged last night. This is a second time
this disgraceful act has been committed
within short time. We understand the
cause assigned is the appearance Of often
sive articles in the Perrysburg Journal
and the Toledo Commercial the authorship
of which is attributed to the senior mem
Der of the above named firm.
The above appeared in the Blade of
Saturday last, and furnishes one more il
lustration of the prostitution of the coll
umns Of that paper to crafty personal an
above law firm.
As the senior member of this firm has
not written line for the JOURNAL for
ever three months, it would be well for the
sake OF simple truth and justice--to say
nothing of all the aliases under the cover
of which one or more persons have at
tempted to make the Blade the champion
of the rum-sellers of this place, at the ex-
pense of temperance and law-abiding peo-
ple-for him or them to have ascertained
some of these facts before they set them
selves up as an innuendo finger-boar to
guide these midnight marauders where to
throw their eggs.
II such insinuations and misrepresenta-
tons as have been furnished the Blode
from this place are necessary adjuncts to
the argument in favor of licensing rum
selling, then such license and such argu-
ment should be set aside as special sub
iects for damning.

is FISH CULTURE PROFITABLE d?

This subject is attracting much attention
just now, especially as the facilities are so
good for obtaining eggs or young fish of sew.
eral kinds with which to stock artificial ponds.
in answer to an inquiry as to the profits of
fish culture for their flesh only, Mr.. Fred.
Mather, noted pisciculturist, writes to the
Forest and Stream as follows:
Fish culture is broad field, and after
all the successes which are on record there
are still skeptlcs. OF course there are fail
ures. So in all business One party had
not water enough another could not get
food, &c. But there are others who have
succeeded by having everything favorable
in connection with the requisite amount of
brains. One great drawback on private fish
cultursts has been, in my opinion, the desire
to confne themselves to what are called
game fishes They seem like boys who min
gle work and play. The game fishes are
more or less cannibals, aHd it is this that
raises the grayling in my estimation far
above the brook trout, for the trout are pis-
civorous as well as insectiyorous, while the
graylng cannot eat fish, but thrives on the
refuse Of the slaughter house as well as the
trout does, There are but few places suit.
able for raising trout on large scale, and
it is only on a large scale that it will pay.
An ordinary spring will suffice to furnish n
few, but to turn out ton or more year
requires not only large flow OF water, but
also great quantity Of food. There are
those who have made it pay. But l do not
feel at liberty to publish what little l know
of their business. Fish culture for profit
and fish culture for sport are distinct things
and the following gives my ideas on "game
fish,"
l. have kept fish at temperature of
609 in fact as high as 75S where there
was good flow and consequently rapid
change. 2. Don't dam ravine for pond ;
the wind will blow leaves in, which, with
the leaves and drift brought down by rains,
will clog the screens aud the floods will car
ry everything away. 3. If you dam the ra-
vine, do it high up, and lead the water in a
ditch along the hillside into ponds, aud lot
all flood and surface water 20 over the dam
and down the old channel, 4. l 6nd that
trout kept at tho head Of my spring, where
the temperature is 400 do not grow much
while those kept below, where it is 607
and 650 grow rapidly, and trout fry, i
lett free, will work down where the water is
even warmer. 3. Black bass, pickerel and
perch are recommended where the water is
too warm for trout, but these fish are all
cannibals the first named is good for the
table and the sportsman the second is a
gormandzing beast, unit TO associate with
decent dshea, and only eatable when nothing
better can be had the third is good little
pan fish, but terribly destructive to other
fish. O. If | were asked for list OF fishes
to be kept in water not suitable for trout or
grayling, it would comprise white fish, els.

known in the Eastern States as a bull'bead,

DUCKS.

A farmers boy writes Hs from East
Rindge saying that he has pair Of ducks,
and asking how he shall take care of them,
so as to make the most of them.
About year ago we published what we
knew about ducks, but as this seems to have
escaped the attention of our young friend,
we don't mind repeating some Of it. In the
first place then, you want to remember all
the time that the duck is great feeder. He
is not very particular as to what he eats, but
he wants great deal, and when he has it,
grows very rapidly and keeps fat all the
time This winter your ducks will eat al.
most anything which you can give them
from the table, crusts of bread, potato peel.
ings, old turnips, bits of meat and "swill"
generally, besides grain. Next summer they
will catch and eat an innumerable number Of
bugs, worms, snails and insects of all kinds,
and this is one great reason why we like
ducks they also relish fish, frogs and tad
poles, but are not grass eaters like geese
This winter you want to keep them where
they can have a warm place to sit nights aud
a chance to waddle around in the sun days
A tub of water to which they can have nc.
cess will furnish them all the water they
need, and some kinds will get along we'll
without even that. We would not shut
them in small pen as it would soon become
nasty and foul.
They probably will not lay next winter,
but by April they should commence and
lay an egg every day until fall. They are
apt to drop their eggs anywhere they happen
to be, but if encouraged to go to the barn
for feed, and if furnished good place, can
generally be made to lay there.
They are poor hatchers, careless Of their
business when sitting, and neglectful of their
young when first hatched. We would
therefore take their eggs and set them under
hens. The eggs hatch in 81 days and they
require no attention but what the hen will
give them. When once the hen is sitting
leave her alone. When once the duckling,
hatch, feed them with boiled eggs and -four
and crumbs Of bread soaked in sour milk
for few days, aud after that give then
boiled meal, boiled potatoes, cooked bran
and any bugs or angleworms you can find
For the first week or ten days, or longer i
the weather is not fine, keep them confined
in pens where they can only get at water
enough to drink. Ii they are let loose they
take TO the water and get cold and die
More ducklings are killed by going too eary
into the water than any other way. Fol
this reason do not let them out when tn,
grass is wet. After they are three weeks oil
month old, they may be let loose to forag,
in the garden or field, but they should b.
brought home every night. Do not give
them raw food except bugs and worms
Ducks need water in the summer, but viii
do nicely without great deal As We hav
said, when well fed they grow rapidly, an'
are ready for market early.-MirrOr am

HOW TO BOIL MEATS.

Boiling, when done in the usual way
namely, that Of making up large fire. set
ting the pot on it, and giving it stir Just
as the meat is put into the boiling water
is method that insures its hardening. just
the reverse is the proper plan. A moderate
fire should be made, and the saucepan or
pot containing the meat should be placed
either at the back Of the range or on triv-
ct, so as to heat slowly as the FIRE burns.
Then, when it has come to boil, it should
be removed to such distance from the
blazing Goals as to keep the water simmer
ing at the boiling point, until the process of
cooking is completed. This is tie simplest
and cheapest of all methods of cooking meats,
There should be just enough water to keep
the joint covered. As soon as the scum Of
grease, blood and impurities rises to the sur
face, it should be removed with skinner
Then add u little cold water which will
cause the rest Of the scum to rise. When
this is removed, nothing more need be done
except to allow the whole to simmer at the
boiling point until ready for serving, Ii
you intend the water in which the meat ia
cooked for soups or gravies, put in the joint
before the water boils. If, on the contrary,
YOU wish to confne all the juices Of the meat,
do not put the joint into the water until it
is at the boiling pOiut, The length of time
required to boil a joint depends on the size.
Twenty minutes to the pound, counting the
time from the moment the water begins To
boil, is good allowance but il the meat is
very fresh killed, or tough and old, il will
require longer time. In cold weather
twenty minutes more should be allowed. A
small quantity of salt should be put into the
water first.
