The German carp are the right thing
to have for those we'll up in fish. The
United States Fish Commission COM
ncnccd to import them some five years
ago. They soon multiply in such
ratio as to add materially to the food
supply of the people. Professor Baird
estimates that one pair of breeding
carp is sufficient to stock an acre of
water, aud that the spawn from 4 sim
gle fish will produce from five thousand
to ten thousand young. Discussing the
carp and the water farm tho Philauel-
piiia Ledger says: "Thc business OF
water farming has already its rules and
its profits 1t makes, an old farmer start
to he told that Il quarter of an acre, laid
down in wafer, will bring him in more
| profit in food raising than a quarter of
| an acre cultivated in any other way.
Also that corn fed to carp brings in
| twice or three times the returns in food
! than the same number of bushels fed
to pigs or cattle. Tho carp is a vegeta-
bic feeder, so that it can support itself
in the vegetable groWths and confcrvse
of ponds and streams. But it thrives
and increases enormously when regu
larry fed as other stock is fed. It does
its own grazing il let alone, but it can
be Glttcncd for the market on bread
crumbs of cabbage leaves. Its most
profitable food, however, is boiled dry
corn-that is corn ont Of the corn crib
dried Oh the cob and then boiled. :"

Carp is the chicken of tho water "a to

| tails some prominence for our readers,
because Of ease with which this quarter

The process of suhdividing the large
plantations into smaller farms is going
on steadily in the South, even in the
States whcrn the old system had taken
the deepest hold. The Woodworking
farmer, who follows tho pillow himself
is gradually CrowdinE out the luXuri,
ous planter, who, in the ante-bellnm
days, scarcely took tho tronble to di-
rect the operations of HIS iahorcrs. In
Mississippi, for instance, there were
1850 plantations in 1860, and tho
average number of acres in each was
$40. Ten years later there were
IS, OPS farms, the average area of each
being 1913 acres. In 1850 the number
Of farm was 75,2O5, averaging lisa
acres each. While the area of cult
waited land is less than il was in 1850

twice as great Tho census of 1890 will
doubtless show 4 still greater change in

TIE WEALTuIEST COLORED MAN IN
GEORGIA.

An Atlanta dispatch to the Cincin-
natl Inquirer says: His name is
Henry Todd and lie lives at BARREN, in
this State. When youth his master
died and left him his freedom as q
reward for his faithful attention dur
ing the shareholders last sickness.
Young Todd was 50 esteemed by the
family that they insisted on his re-
naming in their employ and paid him
a handsome salary. He was II sort of
assistant overseer on the plantation.
By the kindly aid OF white friends he
soon became q landowner and then a
prosperous farmer. In a few years his
affairs showed tho result OF industry
and natural business talent in snug
little fortune. His quiet manner and
strict uprightness guarded him from
| the bitter prejudice which in those days
both races felt for the average "free
nigger." Henry Todd soon had enough
money to hold slaves himself, and he
purchased several as matter of econo-
omy. When the Confederacy fell he
lost twenty negroes and some money
| in Confederate bonds. This severe
| blow was in measure counteracted
by his good fortune, having on hand
a crop OF cotton, which then demanded
fifty cents a pound. After the war he
continued his farming operations, but
also engaged in the lumber business.
His remarkable success continued, and
to-day he owns two large lumber mills
and exports very extensively. He 10
sixty five years old and has an excel
lent education. He is worth 100000
in good Investments. He lives in a
neat country home surrounded by
a family of FIVE children, who
enjoy the luxurys of lite. Every
summer they leave tho coast and
spend the hot months at Il house
which they own in one Of tho cool
! mountain hooks Of n orth Georgia.
Henry Todd has carefully kept from
active participation in politics, though
he has frequently been solicited to be a
candidate. He has constantly voted
tho Democratic ticket, and has always
warned his colOred friends against the
carpet baggers who have swindled and
deceived them in Georgia since the
war. HIS example is in every way
healthy for the negroes of Georgia.
He is public spirited and generous,
giving freely to charitable objects.
He has educated his children well and
will leave them rich.

mailed by the Washington post Office to
farmers, grengers and others. requesting them
TO send petitions to the President of the United

retained, but unfortunately for the success of
the project, the simple minded farmer returned
the letter OF instruction, With the petition to
the President. and In this way good deal has
leaked out which was not intended. Geo.
LeDuc has not yet notified the public that 10
his experime nts with so acres OF sorghum he
made only syrup, bad vinegar and about three
and half barrels of sugar. The sugar must
have cost $50 pound. quite moderate, consid-

LeDuc In the matter Of sugar making from
sorghum. There Is chemical officially In the
