To Measure Corn in a Crib.
From the Live Stock Journal.

From the Live Stock journal.
This rule will apply to crib of
any size or kind. Two CUBIC feet of
good, sound, dry corn, in the ear,
will make bushel of shelled corn.
To get, then, the quantity of shelled
corn in a crib of corn in the ear,
measure the length, breadth and
height of the crib inside of the rail,
multiply the product by two, and
you have the number of bushels of
shelled corn in the crib.

The best plan is to have many
ponds for the carp all Of them being
arranged in such way that they can
be made entirely dry. That gives
you the possibility OF having the
carp divided according to their ages
say of one, two, three or four
years.
At four years they will grow in
your climate to about ten pounds
easily. You know that in rare cases
we have carp OF thirty or forty
pounds, while it Is nothing unusual
to have them up to twenty pounds.
1t you read German, or have any
body who understands this, my lam
guage, l could send you by care of
Professor Baird some books about
carp, their breeding and nursing.
You know that the Greeks (Aristo-
tle), and old Romans knew this.
They came from Italy to Germany
in the eleventh century-of course
by the monks who were the great
protectors OF fishes.
In the ponds which contain your
carp of two, three and four years you
will do wisely to keep with them
few voracious fishes as ESoE pike,
or similar ones. This seems TO pre-.
vent their desire to spawn, and there
fore assists their quick growing.
This principle is generally followed
wherever we have large carp culture
in Germany or Austria (Bohemia).
Beware OF having other fishes of
similar family in the same pond with
your carp-the crossing gives very
bad fishes full OF bones and of bad
taste.
Now this, my letter, may go. 1t
it reaches you hope you may find
it OF little use. l finish as l begun.
l got such kind assistance from your
countrymen that l shall be very glad
to be useful to you. Newspapers
make now in a few weeks le tour de

use of them, and be OF use through
them to mankind. Good will to
Nations" is beautiful duty. l sub

Baron con BeEr:
MY DEAR SIR.-Your letter un-
der date OF the 10th OF October, was
forwarded to me through the cour
tesy OF the Forest and Stream and
reached me in due season. Allow
me at the outset to express my
hearty thanks for your kindness in
writing me, as we'll as tor the valu-
able information you have given.
My carp (Which are OF the scale
Variety continue to thrive splendldly
and are a marvel to all who see them
especially those who saw them when
! first procured them III November
last, when they were only about
three inches long-and who now
compare them. Many of them are
from fifteen to seventeen in ches in
length, and six to seven inches in
breadth. They show no signs as
yet OF going into winter quarters,
coming for their TODD regularly, and
l hope to he successful in carrying
them through the cool weather with
out their resorting to the old habit.
l find our natural ponds are not ex.
actly fitted for them, as they are
generally deep, and not easily drawn
off, with no visible outlet or inlet.
Small fish, such as minnows, and
perch generally inhabit them, which
were better destroyed, as they will
likely feed upon the eggs. Turtles
are also plenty, but we must do the
best we can to destroy the pests.
Your information that the carp de-
your their own eggs was new TO me,
and has suggested the idea to me
that possibly at that time they need
different variety Of food, and l
shall about that time change it to
one composed more of meat. AT
the same time can protect the
bushes on which they have deposited
their eggs from their depredations
by a wire fence. l expect they will
spawn in the early spring, say March
or April. l will be much obliged to
you tor any works on their culture
that you mayosend me, as ! have
friends who will take pleasure in
translating them for me, and the pub
LEGATION of them may benefit Others
who have the fish in other portions
OF the country. You will, l am sure
pardon me tor the liberty l have
taken in sending copy OF your let
ter TO the Forest and Stream tor pub
LEGATION, as the information giver
will be valuable to many OF its read
ers, and will very likely be COPIED
into many other papers, as the sub
iect is Que thai is attracting much at
,enion. Your allusion TO the assist
apce that has been afforded you by
my countrymen Is certainly com

of the Liberal leader, and to bring him

only the legal and proper expenses incident to
contest in so largo a constituency. This large
amount Is all pledged. Mr.. w. L. Gladstone was
teleRraphed to, and gave cordial and gratfed as
sent to the proposal, and, Mr.. Herbert Gladstone
was thereupon introduced to the meeting its ac-
ccepted nominee. He IS a. young man of about
twenty-six, with n good face and prepOssessing
manners, with plenty of stuff in him for popular
candidate But the two things to be noted are the
rising confidence of tho Liberals, as denoted by
this most unexpected challenge to a Tory strong
hold. and the marked expression of gratitude
aud admiration to Mr. Gladstone. the father in thus
bringing forward the son. The battle is to be
fonght on the name. and fought where the Tories
are never tired OF saying the name is most hated.
They never had better opportunity to prove il or
to crafty it, To all appearance young MIR. Glad
stone IS made the leader of forlOrn hope. He may
be beaten without disgrace. but if he wins it will
