SAM SUBER'S FISH POND.
From the Macon telegraph. !

1 l. eSA hAS ~AnSSh IClCkEdpu.l
Dir. Sam Subers has fully demon.
strated the fact that small fish
pond, dug in the middle of gar.
den, is q source Of much genuine
satisfaction and profit. OF late
years the Southern people have di-
rec.ed much attention to this
branch of industry. if it may be SO
called. and all over Georgia can be
found these miniature ponds of
water, in which are raised myriads
of fish, at cost next to nothing.
Four years ago Mr.. Subers had
his little pond dug in his garden. at
the expense of digging an Ordinary
we'll. He obtained q few fish from
MIR. Singleton, a few miles from
Wippler. and gave q colored man
two dollars TO bring him a black
Dream FROM the swamp. Then he
shut his eyes for year and y half,
and waited for the fish to grow.
And they grew-grew in quantity
and in size. The table was sup
piled twice a week, and he has kent
up the programme at a u lifting cost.
When the Fish Commissioners
came along with their caaisters of
German carp, and the papers were
full of their excellent eating quail
ties, he procured a few to stock his
pond. They dived into the mud.
and his hitherto clean pond began
&c assume the appearance of a mud
puddle. The carp did not prove
So valuable an eating fish as the
Dream, having much the flavor of
catfish. But the Dream, of which
the pond has millions, is acceptable
to all pilates
The expense of feeding these fish
is really less than feeding bali
dozen chickens, to say nothing OF
having the chickens stolen. Mr..
Subers gives about twenty FIVE cents
Tor box OF old worm-eaten crack
ers, and they furnish excellent feed.
A few mulberries. with an occasional
treat of corn bread crumbs. is all
that is necessary. and the fish go on
growing and multiplying, world
without end.
The fish pond is an institution to
be encouraged. Every man who
owns garden can easily dig one,
and as 1t keeps the surrounding
ground always moist it will be
found . most valuable means of
garden truck grow.
Think of brown-fried Dream
every morning for breakfast, at a
cost Of only the salt that seasons
Them. Really. IL is something
worth thinking about.

The following rather good story
is told of Senator McCreery, of
Kentucky, and foppish young
constituent who had been in Paris
for some time. Once the Senator
met the young fellow and said to
him: Il received your card the
other day. I recognized your
fathers name, which is the same as
yours. aud supposed that it was his
son; but what did the letters E. p,
writteL in a corner, mean?" "Why,
Mr. Senator. replied the travelled
man, 1t is customary, in Paris, to
write the initials Of certain words
on leaving cards. For example, if
I had been going away, I should
hive written P. p. c.. the initials Of
Pour prendre coAge-to take leave.
As it was, calling myself, I wrote
E. p. the initials Of En- Persoune-
in person" "Oh!" said NcCreery
II understand" A week or SO
afterward the two met again, and
the young man said: Senator, l
received year card, but I couldn't
comprehend what the letters S. b.
A. n, in the corner, meant Pray
interpret them?" with pleasure"
said McCreery. his eyes twinkling
with humor, IS. B. A. n" are the
initials Of ''sent by nigser!"

MUTTON AND WOOL.

j. L. Hayes, at a convention oil
sheep breeders and wool growers
held at Philadelphia, advised biz
auditors rs follows:
Il would say to the farmer, go on
and manage your sheep i'll the way
you can get the m3st money for
their carcasses, whether rnising NUT
ton or mubs, and let your wool
take care ofitself. You must regard
your sheep rs machines for convert
ing grass, roots. and grain. in the
shortest possible time, into nation.
With wool rs a mere incident. By
making your sheep fat in the short
est possible time-which you can
do best with English races-and
killing them as soon as they are
mature, you make the best and
soundest wool. 1t will not only be
young, but healthy; it will have no
tender places in it. Aiming for the
best mutton, you will be certain to
get the best wool, which will always
sell, no matter what race il belongs
to. This is the system in England.
the great mattou-producing and
combing-wool producing country in
the world. It's really matter of
surprise in reading English Agricul.
tural Journals to see how little con-
sideration is az parently given to
the quantities of wool, while the
size and aptitudes of the different
breeds or varieties are the subjects
of the most weighty attention. Yet
it is fully recognized that the char
aeteristic qualities of the English
combing woods have been developed

turer of wool are identified. "-Er.

CHICAGO'S COMPLAINT.

Chicago is complaining because
it often buys lard when it wishes to
buy butter. This is due, it il said,
to the makers of "butterine," IA
seeming butter whose chief ingredi
ent is lard. There is in that city u
company called the Garden City
Dairy Company. that makes large
quantities of this hutterina. It is
put up in neat-looking rolls, prints,
boxes and frains. and graded as
dairy" and creamery aud sells
for 2OI to p cents per pound by
the wholesale. The Chicago Gro.
GERS Bulletin holds that the nomen
clature employed, such as rolls"
prints. dairy" and creamery"
is fraudulent, because the com-
pound is really nothing but lard,
and in no way entitled to be ranked
as butter or any sort of compound
made of milk. Although the pack
ages are all marked "butterine," it
lie said that the temptation with
grocers is to hide the package and
sell the compound as. butter, pure
and simple.

A very unusual sensation was OK.

& Dakota train on Friday at Bronton
station near Millbank. It appears
that Bronton is the dinner station on
the line and while the conductor,
engineer and train men were enjoying
their meal without suspicion of danger
to the train in their charge, some por-
tion of the engine gave out unexpect.
eddy, causing it to run backward.

entire train was moving to the rear
with gradually increasing velocity.
usttl some Of the passengers dis
covered that the locomotive had

them back toward Minneapolis at a

sengers then sprang to the brakes and
succeeded in stopping the backward

that the train had literally run away
from him hand car was secured and
they followed their accentric charge,
overtaking it at Stewart and before

The End OF the World.

Mother Shipton announced the de.
struction of the world for 1881, but
she forgot to at1ix the exact date. An
Italian writer, Leonard Aretina, who
died in the fourteenth century, was
more accurate. In the 18th volume of
his work, "Aquila Volante," helclearly
prophesies that the world will come to
an end on the 18th of November, 1881.
There is one consolation however, and
that is that the humiliation will not
be momentary, but on the contrary
will last Is days. On the first day the
ocean will overstep its bound aries; on
the second day it will penetrate into
the interior of tho earth; on the third
day all the river fish will succomb; on
the fourth day the denizens of the
deep; on the fifth day the birds will
perish; on the sixth day our houses
will collapse; on the seventh the rocks;
on the eight earthquakes will contin.
ue the work of destruction; on the
ninth mountains will fall low; on the
tenth mankind will loose the power Of
speech; on the eleventh the graves
will open; on the twelfth it will rain
stars, (but not stars Of India); on the
thirteenth all men will die; on the
fourteenth heaven and earth will be
consumed with fire, and on the fif.
teenth we may expect the resurroc-
ton and the last judgment.
Mr.. Aretina forgot to tell us which
of the fifteen days Of destruction is
the WOmen's day.
