CARP PROPAGATION.
Preparations for Distribution by the Fish
Commission-Tho German Carp Ponds.

tOmmlsSl0n-lho 6ermen carp POnds.
Preparations for the shipment of carp are
being made by the fish commission, and IL is
expected that the first car will leave this city
on Monday next for dlstri' ution to the New
England states, New York, New Jersey, and
Canada. Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Vir-
glnia, and southern New Jersey will be sup
piled by express direct from Washington, as
that can be done at less expense than to send
special distributing cars. The second car will
probably start next Wednesday or Thursday.
and will supply the northwest and the Pacific
coast, taking the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad west Of Minneapolis. The applca-
tions for carp for prOpagating purposes are
fully rs great as in previous years. There are
already 1900 on file, and they are constantly
coming in from every section of the country
from Maine to the Pacific coast and from the
lakes to the Gulf Of Mexico. The first pond Is
now ready to be drawn, and by the first of
next week all the ponds here win be drawn
OIL and the. carp taken to the Armory building
"The utilization Of carp as a food supply has
hardly begun to be appreciated yet" said Col
Mcdonald who Is In charge, OF the propaga-
tion, las we only made our first shipment for
| propagating purposes in 1879; but that great
interest is beingtakon In their culture is proven
by the fact that at all agricultural fairs young
| carp are placed on exhibition. The first carp
shipped to market were recently sent TO n man
named BlaCkiord, in New York, and they sold
for - cents per pound. They will soon be
available ior food supply. Take the state OF
/ Texas where, in some portions there are i'm
mensc cattle ranges, and yet those who herd
the cattle and tend them live upon salt beef
and salt pork. They can't afford to kill a beef
| just TO get porterhOuse steak, and so they live
| upon salt meats Now, the great bitches that
| they dig to catch rain water can be stocked
with carp, and in n few years they can have
fish as part of their food supply.
when was in Germany visited the celo-
brated carp hatchcries at Pictz, where 1900
| acres are devoted to the propagation of this
| fish. These hatcherics are owned by the gov.
| ernmcnt and are leased to private individuals
| for carp cultivation, The government derives
| revenue from the rent and the carp cult.

Youthful Spendthrifts

From the New England Journal Of Education,
One very great fault of the American
is the recklessness with whiph he spends
his earnings: tits Especially Noticeable
in the city bred. We are inclined to
think with DIR. Baar, that the fault lies
back in childhood. Children are not
taught when young the value of the
money they spend SO thoughtlessly, for
trihes,. Dr. Baar wsu1d have them
work for every cent they receive: IL
will: not, say" he REMARKS; chat every
tritiing labor should be rewarded. Oh,
no! mean to say that every child
should perform certain duty, and that
in fulfilling this duty conscientiously
it should receive small amount of mon
ey. There are various duties with
which we can intrust a child For in
stance the one can be directed to keep
the library in order; the other can be
sent out on regular errandsj the third
can be charged to assist the little 6f IS
ii, theif. lessons; the fourth c,in be en-
ployed in copying letters or documents;
the fifth can be used to see that the
house in front and in the back is always
kept clean and tidy; the sixth can be
told to collect or to pay our weekly or
monthly accounts, ard the seventh and
eighth can be made responsible for the
order in the play yard, and for the neat
appearance of the garden"

Portable Pigpens.

correspondent reports to the Massachu-
sets Ploughman satisfactory tests Of the plan
of penning pigs in various places about the
farm, and mentions advantages resulting from
the practice:
81 have for a number of years had nova
bic pen for my pigs. 1t has four separate
sides fourteen feet in length; each side has
four pieces of narrow boards one by six inches
nailed to an upright two by four Inches, and
placed six inches apart These four sides are
fastened together at the ends by hooks; it en-,
closes nearly 200 feet; two men can move it
easy. Two pigs of fifty pounds each will root
up one-eighth of an acre of bushy pasture in
season, pulverizing the ground as fine as done
by pillow and harrow; if the ground is free from
bush much larger area can be gone over.
Where l had my pen three years ago not
bush has appeared, and this spring the grass
had started and was to be seen some time be-
fore its appearance in the rest of the pasture.
Last season l run the pen through my
orchard, now am having it along a hedge row
feet of grass, whichis all destroyed. Soon l
shall put it into pasture. One will be sur
prised to see how little feed they require where
they can have grass. I give them skim milk
with little grain until September, when l add
more grain By this method you make your
pork cheaper and better; they are always IN
clean place away from the house, your lands are
improved, the bushes destroyed, the orchards
MANFRED, and the hedge rows made the same
as the rest of the field, and, finally, to compete
with the great West, we must bring our cost of
corn and pork raising down to the lowest
figures"

Timely suggestions as to Sweat Corn appear
in The Michigan Farmer, partly based On q
discussion of the subject by the state fortictii-
tural Society;
''The varieties with colored cobs.n saws Pro
fessor Tracy, 'sare not popular because, in
cooking, the cob discolors the corn and makes
it unattractive in appearance The discolora-
ton is prevented by putting in boiling water
st hrst, instead of allowing the corn to soak in
the water till the latter is raised to the boiling
point We may make note of it that sweet
corn with any kind of cob should be put into
boiling water, and the fire be hot enough to
complete the boiling in a very few minutes
if corn is to be boiled In water at ali. But
Mr. Davis, who gave us his experience in
evaporating sweet corn, says corn should be
steamed, not boiled, for that purpose, and he
might have added that the same process ii ad-
yisable for that intended for table use. Mr.
Davis recommended cutting the kernels To be
evaporated twice in two. He also told lis that
evaporated corn is cheaper than canned corn.
since the price Of one can of the timed corn
would buy encugh evaporated corn when pre-
pared for the table to fill three cans, Corn Is
better when used very soon after picking.o

. circular, from which the following extracts
are made:
That agents and others may understand the
terms upon which elevator companies are

ton grounds OF the railroad company, an ex-
tract from our lease is given: "That
they (the elevator company will operate said

or grain warehouse, without discrimination or
preference, in favor of any person or corpora
ton whatsoever, In a prompt and efficient man
ner, and 30 that the interests of the party of
the first part and of all persons doing business
through or with said elevator or grain ware
house shall be justly and fully subserved and
that they will comply with all provisions of the
laws of this state applicable to the management

shipments in the market to which 1t Is forward

Third-Where differences arise between
buyer and seller as to price or grade, the ele-
vator company. will consign it to any market
desired, and allow the former what the wheat
will bring, less the usual charges.
Outside buyers who may have tickets calling

same shipping facilities as the elevator COM

Winnipeg, Man, Special.-CoL Kennedy
yesterday received a cablegram from Lord
Wolseley, asking him to procure birch bark
canoe for him similar to the one he used during
the Red River expedition. Lord Wolseley
wants boat for his own use during the
trip up the Nile. Col. Kennedy at once sent
for Superintendent Mccall, of the Indian de-
partment and purchased canoe from him,
which Mr.. Mccall recommended as the best
procurable. 1t is six-fathom one, and will
carry easily six men and baggage. 1t will
be here to- morrow, to be ready to go with the
expedition, which leaves on Saturday for the
East Fifty three men in all are going Col
Kennedy goes as far as Montreal, and as he
has been offered position on Lord Wolseley' g
staff, will doubtless go to Egypt. The men
will be divided into three classes. One-third
of them will be from the St Peters Indian re-
serve, and are experienced voyageurs The
remainder are men who have spent years as
raftsmen, together with sprinkiing Of young
men who have had considerable experience
canoeing and roughing it in surveys.
