Fish Farming.

BY attaching a pump, propelled
by the wind, to a well, says the st.
Paul PioneerPress, you can supply
basin from fifty to seventy five
feet in diameter, and six to eight
feet deep, with water sufficient to
raise several thousand carp or other
fish. The cost of the pond and
appurtenances need not exceed $50.
The bottom and sides need to be
cemented thoroughly. When the
basin is complete, place in it small
quantity of brush or floating weeds.
If you intend to raise carp do not
place other fish of predatory
character in the pond. The spawn
ing will occur during the spring
months, the female laying $4,000 to
100000 eggs. The eggs will adhere
to whatever they touch, and will
soon hatch. The green scum of
partially stagnant pond is fine food
for the young fish. Mud in the
bottom of the pond is beneficial.
The fish will feed readily ON kitchen
garden refuse, such as cabbage.
leek, lettuce, hominy or other sub
stances. Water seldom becomes too
warm for the fish. During freezing
weather they bury themselves in
the mud at the bottom of the pond.
While in this condition they should
not be disturbed. In a pond of the
given dimensions several thousand
fish have annually been taken. If
weeds and grass grow profusely
about the borders of the pond, so
much the better fer the fish. In
two years time you can have a con-
slant supply of sport and food, and
the advantage of a pond to assist in
your home.

Flower Language.

We use clocks and sun-dials to
tell the time Of day +; thermometers
the amount OF heat or cold IN the
air; barometers the amount OF,
moisture eI dampness; calendars to
tell the month and day of the
MONTH, siT'here is. a legend that at
one time in some countries all of
these were told III flowers. Could
anything be lovelier or sweeter?
If one wanted to know what month
it was, it was only necessary to get
out of doors and examine the plants.
In this country, the sprlnging OF the
snow-drop and cowslip said it was
January; if one saw the hepstica,
it was February; if the wOodane-
none, it was march. The tulip,
periwinkle and lilac said April /;
the lily of the valley, iris and peony,
May; the bEuebottle, larkspur and
poppy, June; and 50 on, flowers and
ripening fruits told each month as
| plainly as our Almanacs do now.
There were flowers. which even
opened at certain hours of days they
knew twenty four, which marked
the hours,as the hands OF our clocks
do. But many are strangers to you,
so will name old friends. At exact
ly two o'clock in the morning, the
yellow satisfy opens; ut four, the
mornings glory; at five, the dandeli-
on, the leaves of which are nice foT
greens for the table; at eight, the
chickweed, which the canaries love
so dearly; at nine, the marigold; at
eleven, a little lily called Our La
dy,' at eleven o'clock. At five
o'clock in the afternoon, the eve
ming beauty opens; at ten the pur-
pie bindweed, and at midnight, the
magnificent cactus opens its large
scarlet flowers, also the beautiful
night blooming cereus. So, you
see you can tell the time by flowers
as well as clocks and watches.
Some cunning barometers may
be found in plants. If the sensi-
tive plant, cor the field lover, folds
up its leaves, if the African mari

Ra a Gentleman.

Money will buy a great many
things but it will not buy what
makes a gentleman. They do make
fop, and sometimes come near
making a fool. Money will buy
dogs and horses, but how many
dogs and horses do you think it will
take to make gentleman? Let nc
boy, therefore, think he is gentle
man by the clothes he wears, the
horse he rides, the stick he carries,
the dog that trots after him, the
house he lives in, or the money he
spends. Not one of these things
does it, and yet every boy may be a
gentleman. He may wear an old
hat, cheap clothes, and spend but
little money, and still be gentle
man. But how9 By keeping him
self neat and respectable. By being
true, manly and honorable. By be-
ing civil and courteous. By respect
ing others. By doing the best he
knows how. And, finally, and above
all, by tearing God, and keeping his
commandments.

Hungarian Hay.


The American Cultivator, reply
ing to a correspondent, says of this
hay: For a number of years we
have fed Hungarian hay without
any injurious results.
We are now feeding it to an aged,
rundown horse with the very best
results; in fact he prefers it to the
best English hay, and notwithstand-
ing he is being worked quite hard
he is rapidly gaining flesh. Cut up

The oat crop of Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina, ac-
cording to all accounts, is the larg-
est ever made in those states. The
crop is now being harvested. 1t is
estimated that Wilkes, Lincoln and
Hancock counties, in Georgia, will
produce one million bushels each.
The Washington Gazette says the
entire small grain crop of Wilkes
county has been estimated at one
and a quarter million bushels. One
planter in that county has a thou
sand acres of oats and the yield will
be fully forty thousand bushels. A
planter near Augusta will make
twenty thousand bushels of oats
and wheat. With this immense
crop there will be more than sufli-
Gent Tor home consumption and a
large quantity can be sold, bringing
considerable amount of money
into the State Baltimore Sun.

He used to be a Boy Himself.
The other day a show came to
Little Rock and was shamefully
imposed upon by Uncle Isom.-
While standing near the tent he
saw a crowd of w-spirited boys
grieving on account of financial
depression.

The boys responded in hearty
cheers.
"Well, come on den. ] ulster be

the doorkeeper. The man began
counting, and by the time the boys
had passed in Isom was walking
around, talking to acquaintance
from the plantations. :.
''Here, give me twenty tickets,
said the Snowman.
'What for?" Does yer think me
a lottery agent?'
''You passed in twenty boys, and

The Snowman, remembering tha
he had left the entrance unguarded
turned, and Isom walked away.
