lI.jt ho Desired To make nse o.
naiuTAi pontt>. al which there arc
numbers jn every State Of the
Union, It is necessary to ascertain
whether they can te put into The
proper condltiQr for regular cnI-
ture. This can only be dore it
the influx OF water can DC rcgu
! lated and the outirc drainage OF
tie pond made possible. An in
treDchment will be required With
such ponds III order to make them
dry. Trunks eG trees should be
taken ouU Of them: and where
they are too deep they should be
filed up, orif this cannot be done
!. they should be brought into- con-
ucution with the above-described
sewers On the bottom Of the pond.
II lhiS is not done, too many fishes
will remain EN- bedded in. the mud
when the pond is being drained,
aud this lessons the profits to a
great extent.
Should any brooks fall into
such ponds, as is often the case
with large ones, they. must be
kept under strict observation on
account Of possible overhows
which might occur. If it be. prac-
ticable the. brook bad best be
turned OF and conducted along:
. side the. pond; when the latter.
can be supplied with water If re-
quired. .....
Such SIS. brooks. coming: from
neighboring billy territory, or from
mountains; will, frequently occa.
sion ar overflow if either a thun-
der-showor or sudden thawiug Of
SNOW aud ice should set in :; in the
latter case the ground might be
too hard with the frost to allow
the water to run off readily.
Ii. the. overflow should even be
inconsiderable it would still ex-
ercjse an injurious influence upon
the. fishes, as the inAux Of so much
water, which in all probability
would contain unfavorable sub
stances. would YAs apt to drive
them from their Winter retreat. ,
In Summer, sudden, violent
rain.:showers may cause an over
flow within q few minutes, which
will carry of the fishes, and
eventually may destroy all the
ponds: 70 secure, against this,
the construction ofrescrve. .sIuices,
such as are contrived in artificial
ponds, and a. w!delEeserve ditch
alongside the. pond, which is des-
tined to carry off'the threatening
high water. are recommended. 4
small dam between the pond and
brook, ihstead ofthe reserve ditch,
will sometimes answer. D.. '.'.. ..-.'
Great caution is necessary in
the selection CT a site for Il pond,
or the natural pond which is to
be converted into a carp-pond. 49,.
Overfows not only injure the
ponds and fishes, but may suit in
ii still worse disaster, that of car

by the Germans, and six car loads, sggreg-
ating $4,000 pounds Of wool, were shipped
from Burlington to Boston. H. Benestock,
of stLouis, purchased one car load. and o.
ID Swan, Of Euporia, five car loads. They
paid an average of twenty cents per pound,
and over 5000, 900 in cash was passed into
the palms Of these hardy Germans a. the
result, Of this sale of wool. These fellows

The Sora.

A NONDEsCRIPT BIRD-THE OPPROBRIUM
OF sPORTsMEN AND THE PUZZLE OF
ORNITHoLIG1sT-A FEATHERED FROG.
Col. George $. Akers has the following
letter in the current issue of the Chicago
American Field'':
/ was born in Appomattox county, Va,
and many of my youthful days were spent
in what is known as the tide water dis
trlct. My piscatorial proclivlties often led
me into the marshes below Petersburg, ON
| the Appomattox river, and the many
swamps in this tide water, as we'll as other
| parts of the old State, and as tie tide
| would ebb and flow. many developments
were made which contributed to our
| sports.
| This Sora, is a rem irkable bird liz we
can call it blrd,( makes 1t Appearance in
untold numbers in the tide waters Of Fir-
ginia. and in that section of the United
States only, as far as l can learn 1t comes
in September and disappears with the first
frost. It is of the snipe genus and in
size between the snpw bird and cemmoa
quail. 1t is young and tender, and fattens
so rapidly during it's short stay, that it can
scarcely fly. Its flavor is delicate, and su-
perior to any other bird known. They can
scarcely fly fifty yards, and afford pretty
mark for the sportsman to test his skill.
My old friend, Capt. Geo. H. Venable,
editor of the Petersburg, Virginia, ''In-
dex," now deceased, sent me couple Of
dozen sora aid wrote me as follows re-
garding this mysterious bird, Sept Is,
1868. His letter, which was published in
the Nashville american at the time, will
give more perspicuous idea of this feath-
cred frog: 'The sora is mysterious bird,
and has been at once the puzzle and oppro-
brium of sportsmen and ornithologists.-
Nobody knows where they come from; no.
body knows where they go to, and nobody
knows where they breed. They make
their appearance III immense numbers in
our tide water marshes during the months
of September and Oct ,ber. and remain un-
til the first decided frost, when they sud-
denly disappear altogether. A great deal
of enthusiastic curiosity has been excited
by the 'sora question, and vast amount
of ingenious research has been expended
in the attempt to solve the mysteries con-
nected with it, but without any satisfac-
tory results. About the time of frOsts
and their disappearance, the sora become
SO fat that they can fly scarcely twenty
steps, and thus are wholly unequal to the
long flight of other migratory BIRDS"
The common superstitions on the sub
ject are that they turn to frogs or burrow
In the mud, where they remain until next
season. One thing is certain, it is de-
lcious bird, and, like most delightful
things in this world favors poor mortals
with but brief stay. Will some of your
Virginia correspondents enlighten US on
the subject Of CHS feathered frog, an or
astrological puzzle. GEO. F. AKERs.

What. the Birds Do.

The birds can earn the right to live by
the service they render the farmer. In
stead of being destroyed or frightened
away. they should be encouraged to build
their nests about the farm. A writer in
The New York journal of Commerce.
says:
The early worm is pretty sure to be
caught by the early bird. After shower
when the worms and insects come out,
you will see robins and orioles and the va
rious fly-catchers devouring thousands of
animals
It is not exaggeration to say ''thou-
sands," for careful observers have made
computations of the numbers of insets
eaten by birds. and to sentimental lover
of nature the record is appalling.
The cabin library furnishes no book of
reference on this subject except of that
very companion of the nature-lover, MIR.
Wilson Flagg's birds and seasons of
New England" Turning over its pages
this evening 1 note facts like these:
Mr.. Roberts, of Coleville, Ohio, killed
a yellow-bird, and found in its crop two
hundred weevils ard four grains of wheat,
each eaten because weevil was IN it.
A farmers boy in Ohio killed quail,
and in the craw found one cuJ.worm
twenty-one striped vine-bugs and one hun
bred chinch-bugs.
Mr.. Bradley, an English writer, records
count kept of a pair Of birds bringing
caterpillars to their nests to feed their
young, The calculations made on the
count showed that one brood consumed no
less than five hundred caterpillars in
day.
This would dispose of fifteen thousand
month, and if there were ahundred such
nests in township, the death of million
and half of caterpillars would contribute
to the life of some five hundred birds.
MIR. Flagg, in giving these and other
facts. relates an observation of his own
He watched golden robin baltimore

We read of the wonderful ways in which
paper has come to be utilized. At the

burning daily, we're of paper mache, and
when the fabricator of this mansion gave
a banquet in this dwelling, the table cloths

last of all, the knives and forks, were like
wise made of paper.
