while growing cordiality warns the South

doubt that between the two sections conf

than at any period in the sixty
years preceding the election of Presi-

SIX TIMES AN NORPHAN.-"YOu see," said
the boy between his sobs, "We were all Nor
mons living down in Southern Utah, where
dad was Bishop, and of course had five
wives. Well, each one Of them had boy
baby about the same age, and they were all
named Brigham
"Isn't it strange to name them all alike?"
"They always name the first one Brig

we were about four years old dad used to
drive the little flock lof Brighams down to
the farm and make Gs weed cssfots. The
farm was two mil6 from .tSWn, and one

me with them 8vSyears before could es-

home. Well, when 1 got back l didn't
know my mother or even her number, and
she didn't know me, and they all claimed
me as their little lost Brigham. So they
had to draw cuts to see which one would
have me and was hers till she died
then the next, and so on. My first mother
died a year after got home then became
the son of mother number two. She apos-
tatized, and ran away and married Gen

I lived with this mother year and half.
The third mother got hooked by cow six
months after she had me. The fourth one
died after was thirteen, and my last moth

CARP CULTURE.

EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: For the ben
eft of those engaged in the cultivation of
carp, will give my experience with these
fish. I have been engaged in the cultiva-
ton of fish for six years, beginning with
the perch, when my attention was drawn
to the carp. procured twenty and placed
them in a pond, in January, 1880. These
young fish averaged about three inches in
length On the 9th of July following, l
drained my pond, taking from it the fish,
which had grown to length of from ten to
sixteen inches. In March, 1888, they COM
menced spawning, once a week TOR three
weeks. Again in September drained my
pond and found about six hundred young
fish from three to nine inches in length.
These I placed in pond of the dimensions
of one acre. The fish are now from nine to
fourteen inches in length.
The only trouble I have in raising these
fish successfully, is that of keeping other
species Of fish out of my ponds, which is
one of the most important essentials in the
successful breeding of carp, and every means
should be provided, by screening, or other
wise, to prevent other varieties from enter
ing into ponds.
Carp will spawn at two years of age. In
large ponds, where there is plenty of natu-
raj food, feeding will not be necessary. 1t
is claimed that six hundred carp will stock
one acre, and thrive without artificial feed
ing. If more than this number are in a
one-acre pond they should be fed: A pond
of smaller size than one acre l consider
worthless. A one-acre pond properly cared
for will furnish one family of ordinary size
with all the fish they will require for food,
but to do this, of course the pond must con-
tain more than they would consume.
My fish commenced to spawn on the 10th
of last month. The eggs hatched in eight
days after they were deposited. now have
thousands of young fish. The young fish
begin to take food in from four to five days
after they are hatched. The necessity,
therefore, of an abundance of aquatic plants,
especially in the Matching ponds, will be
apparent, since they serve the double pur-
pose of supplying food for the fish, and a
natural place of deposit for the eggs.
Small ponds will not serve for growing
carp, even if the fish are regularly fed artiti-
ciafly. Too many fish in the pond will
keep the water constantly muddy, which
will render the fish unfit for food, especially
in the summer months. The carp is q
large-growing fish, and requires plenty of
water and food. JOHN +. HINsoN.

s% The symptoms of collie, one of the most
fatal diseases to horse, are readily detected.
The horse invariably scrapes with his fore
feet, kicks at the stomach and shifts about,
turns around, smells the floor, lies down,
rolls, remaining for time on his back and
breathing heavily throughout. At recent
meeting of the London Farmers Club, re-
lief and cure was presented by gentleman
who had been al his life among horses.
When the horse shows symptoms of an at
tack of collie, apply at once horse cloth or
woolen rug, wrung out of boiling water, to
the stomach and to the sides, and cover
with another couple of cloths to retain the
heat. AS they cool, renew the cloths as Of
ten as needed. A large bran poultice, as hot
as can be borne, is equally effective and re-
tains the heat longer.
