ASc11SG.-Ths has been lucky year
for those addicted to angling, fine white
nerch and rock having been caught from the
wharyes during the summer. Now that the
temperature has fallen, what are locally
termed "pig" or sun fish are in season.
They bite readily at grasshoppers, and it
generally takes but q short time TO hook
quite string Of them. This variety of the
finny tribe are almost as shy as mountain
trout, and during warm weather secrete
themselves under wharves and around
posts, from which retreats they protrude
when fall sets in. 1t is then that they al
ford fine sport for anglers. Major george
Duffey aud few friends took up position
under the wharf at Fort Fcote yesterday,
and ere long had hooked and taken int"
their boat about Que hundred rock and cat
fish, some of the latter approximatlng III
size the famous cats Of the Mississippi.
Indeed, the Major is Of the opinion that had
the lines Of the party been cast from the
wharf it would have been impossible to land
them. as the tack lie would undoubtedly have
broken. Those who delight in fall fishing
are now enjoying themselves catching bass,
all the way up the Potomac from the Cham
bridge to Harpcr's Ferry. There are but
few carp caught in tho Potomac, notwith-
standing the great efforts of the fish commits.

makes but little difference however, for
there are but few who will eat the carp al

it is thought, LOO course for consumption.

Improying Plants by selection.

Philadelphia Record.
1t is within the power Of every farmer who
grows a crop to improve its quality and product
iveness if he will but carefully select the best
seed from the thriftest and most productive
plants By selecting tomatoes. for instance
from those portions of the vine that fruit the
earliest, the period of ripening has been materi-
ally shortened, and a particular regard to saving
the seed from those only that were firm, smooth
and perfect, has resulted in,elewating what was
once considered a weed. into one of the most
valuable agricultural products. The cole
brated FultZ wheat, of Pennsylvania origin,
is due to the persistent efforts Of farmer who
went into his wheat field every season in order
to select his seed while the grain was standing
as it enabled him to observe the habitof growth
the straw, depth of head and size Of grain. By
so doing he largely increased the yield, and
from his efforts We have secured a variety of
wheat that has added thousands of dollars to the
wealth Of the country. What this farmer did
may be done by others and if the practice was
universal no one could estimate the great inl-
portance Of such efforts in its influence upon our
agricultural productions Corn, which often
fails to Epep in some sections, may be adapted
TO any climate by selection, and If this course
were pursued BY farmers, insteadof purchasing
seed corn every year, many of the difficulties IN
that respect would be avoided.
Al case enay be mentioned in which the yield

wholly to careful selection Of seed fyr a long
period; and such was the experience of Hon.
William Porcher Miles. formerly a member of
Congress from Charleston s. or, who removed
TO Nelson county, Va. This Geld Of corn was
inspected by a special committee from Phila
delphia, the stalks being on an average more
than thirteen feet in hight, while each stalk
bore from three TO seven ears. OF course, the
land was very rich, or the corn could not have
matured; but it was the careful selection Of the
seed every year that increased the number Of
ears to the stalk from one or two TO seven. The
corn was also accimated. which proved to
be very important matter for when the seed
was used in other localities the results were not
SO satisfactory; and hence farmers, III selecting
from the most prolific plants should carefully
consider all the advantages and disadvantages
to be met with from the time the seed Is placed
