 E On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating by sweep of his the waters the boat passing over he said to passenger from the north: ''When was twelve years old I killed my first bear on a new plantation my father then cutting out of forest that grew directly over the waters of this bend. That was mighty good pantation and there right smart of bears there, too. But that one thousand acres of and went into the Mississippi years ago.'
 It is putting strain upon the figure to say that great forests of youthful hope, womany beauty and manly strength are swept in the same way every year into the great turbid torrent of disease and death Yet it should not be That it is so is disgrace as well loss. Peope largely too careless or too stupid to defend their own nerests-the most prec- ious of which is health. That gone all is gone.

Barbed Wire Fence.

An object. board for barbed- wire fence
which the Prairie Farmer has often seen in
use in Du Page county, ILL.,, and which, or
some modification of it, has been repeatedly
suggested in our own columns rs an aid in
saving stock from injury, consists simply OF
twoinch strips of inch stuff, each long enough
TO nearly fill the space between posts, and
swung TO the upper wire by common staples
Cattle and horses see there is an obstruction
before them and avoid Tribune.
The House committee having under consid-
Grafton the bill in relation TO barbed-wire
fencing took the testimony of various parties
having experience in its use. According to
the report of the testimony, no instance was
given Of an accid, mt occurring when the fence
WAS properly constructed. Nearly all the gen.
tlemen said that the placing of a board or rail
above the top strand would tend to make the
fence less useful, inasmuch as stock would be
more liable to attempt to jump over the fence,
and in leaping upon it they would break it and
thus let themselves down upon ih9 wire. The
only legislation which the committee will re-
port if any, will be in regard to the number Of
wires, the distance apart, the space between the
posts-in short what legal barbed wire
f4nce shall be. Barb,dwire fence has come
largely iuto use in Vermont, and it's useful
ness is so great that it will never be discard
ed"
But if it is safe when properly constructed,
it is VIGOROUSLY unsafe as it is frequently
made A law similar to Que already in force
in several of the Western states, making le-
gal barbed-wire fence to consist of not less
than five strands, firmly attached to substan-
tial posts, the barbs not exceeding a certain
specified length, should be demanded as a
protection from the dangerous traps half
built barbed-wire fences, now becoming SO
common. They have already caused dam
ages to horses aud cattle to the amount OF
thousands of dollars.

Enre.t Tree CnItnre.

Ben Perley Poore, good authority on the
culture of forest trees, says;
Now is the time for planting chestnuts,
walnuts butternuts aud locust seed, which
fall with the leaves. Scientific writer's say
that nuts can be kept in cellars during the
winter in dry sand or vegetable mould, but
my experience is that the quicker they are
put under ground after falling from the trees
the better They should be buried about
three riches below the surface, and there
should be such drainage as will prevent their
rOtting. 1t is best to SOW three nuts or acorns
in each hole, aud then to destroy the two
weakest plants should all come up. l think
it also desirable, in planting oaks or nut trees
to mix with them young evergreens, in order
to form shelter. Our warm sun and cold
winds harden the bark of young trees exposed
to their influence, so that the ascending sap
fluids it difficult to expand it. In natural for
ests young trees are sheltered by older ones
from the sun and wind 1t is contrary to ma
ture to expose them to both. Chestnuts are
perhaps the most profitable forest tree that
can be planted. The oak is of such slow
growth that two or three generations pass
away before it can be renumerative. Chest.
nuts, on the contrary, soon bear nuts, which
are a source of profit if sold, and of great
delight to the young people if they are per
mtted to gather them. In twenty. five or
thirty years, trees are STABLE for timber or
for fuel. In the interior of Pennsylvania ex-
tensive tracts are devoted to the growth of
chestnut timber, which is cut off at intervals
of sixteen years and converted into charcoal
for the use OF iron works. New trees spring
up from the stumpage and, il carefully thinned
out, make rapid growth. Indeed, many prac.
tical foresters advocated cutting of oaks or
chestnuts at the roots when they attain the

The German Darn.

In paper read before tie American Asso.
citation, Mr.. G. w. Smiley of Washington, d.
c., said he had, some years ago, imported
from Germany thirty or forty pairs of this
fish. They were placed in breeding ponds
in Washington, and have increased many
fold, the number spawned this year being
100000. The carp is naturally warm water
fish, aud in the waters of the Southern States
grows with astonishing rapidity, and to great
size. They will also do well in the cold water
of the North, even in Minnesota. Nearly
every state and county in the United States
has a fish commission, and they are all prop
agating carp 1t has also been taken up as a
private speculation, and carp are sold for
breeding purposes as high az 50 per pair
The carp roots in the mud for aliment and
much resembles poultry in its manner of
getting food. Carp aged three years are
often found TO weigh twelve to fifteen pounds,
and gain in weight of four pounds has been
observed in carp in ono year. The carp is
sluggish; while trout, bass, and other lively
fish, frisk about, and do not fatten so fast as
the carp. Experiments have shown that fe-
male carp spawn at the age of one year in
southern waters, attwo years in colder waters,
and in the extreme northern waters of the
United States at three years, Other hsh,
turtles, muskrats, snakes, and even birds, eat
young carp. A bird shot in Washington, re-
Gently, had in its stomach the heads of seven
ty-nine young carp. The United States fish
commissioner recently sent out requests for
information about carp Experimental with
in this country. Most Of the replies placed
the carp on an equality with trout, bass, and
shad as food fish, while few classed Thorn
with pike, aud very few said they had a
muddy taste
The carp is the best pond fsh yet known,
aud in very small pond will thrive well, so
that families may easily have their own fish
garden If they have enough water to make a
permanent pond. The carp is a very hardy
fish for shipment requiring little water to
keep alive in. Tue United States fish com.
missioner is giving away carp, sending them
by express to any point the receiver paying
express charges. The fish will thrive on
table refuse and almost anything edible

However cheap apples may be in the early
part of the season, they rarely fail to bring
fair price, in the city markets, before the
middle of winter. They have brought this
fall hardly more than enough to pay for gath
ering, packing aud marketing, but there is
now prospect of better prices for shipping
varieties The Boston Cultvator says.
Recent London advices state that the mar
ket for apples shows a decided improvement
on late shipments of American fruit. Sup
plies from the Continent have nearly stopped
aud the English crop is about all marketed.
IN a short time the retail dealers in English
cities will have to depend on American APP
pies, and unless the supply is very large
prices will go higher. Quotations on Boston
shipments the last week in October were for
Greetings So % to So 10 per barrel Bald
wins, So % to $3.50; Hubbardstons, So to
1925. Less apples are being received in
Montreal than usual. The prices there range
from 81. - to 81 % per barrel as to quality.
Many growers of apples in western Canada
are shipping their fruit to Chicago There
are also large and unusual shipments Of Can
adau apples to Manitoba. This accounts for
light receipts at Montreal. The shipments
from Boston and New York still continue
very heavy, and holders of apples are very
conf lent of better prices in the future.
