Fish.

i gentleman named HOweitOun has
the largest fish breeding establishment
in Great Britain, if not i'll the world.
1t was commenced about ten years ago
with stock of about 80 breeding fish.
1t now contains more than 10000
breeding fish, $40, 200 small fry and g.
OOO, 600 eggs in process of Matching.
The breeding establishment covers IL
acres. The ponds are situated in an
enclosure which Is beautifully terraced,
the turf between the ponds being kept
In the condition of lawn. Stock fish
are kept outside of this enclosure in ar
tIficial ponds and streams that are care
fully guarded. From an artificial sum
mer-house. located in the center OF the
eStablishment,.e ,.every portion OF 1t may
be seen. 1t is planned with an eye to
beauty as well as to utility and profit.
Each pond is supplied with spring
water and is 80 arranged that all the
water may be drawn from II at any
time that it is desirable to do so. The
large fish are fed during portion of
the year on a species of coarse fish that
is of no value as food for man. The
food of the small fish consists prln-
cipally of horse flesh, which is cut in
small pieces and pounded. One pound
per day is required for three hundred
fish. All the fish are very tame. The
appearance of a person on the bank of
a pond causes them to rush towards the
spot by thousands. A wave denotes
their advance. The fish will dart at
meat held i'm the hand and will often
bite the fingers. The establishment
furnishes a market for all the Old horses
for miles around. The cost of the es-
tablisLment was $50, 900, but it pays 10
per cent. on the investment. The pro-
prietol thinks he could now construct
an establishment equally as good for
one half the money this one cost. In
that event it would pay dividend of
20 per cent. The fish bred are different
varieties of salmon and trout. Nome
are raised for the table. They are
raised for the purpose OF stocking ponds.
Some are sent to Australia and New
Zealand. The demand is so good for
the fish that the proprietor of this es-
tablishment proposes to start another
on a still more extensive scale. Since
the fisheries exhibition in London, last
season, there has been great interest III

Charts of the geographical distribu-
ton of the lightning strokes for 1882
and 1888, prepared from our fire rec
ords, saws the Insurance Chronicle,
show that they are chiefly confined to
that part of the country situated north
of tie Ohio River, and east of the Mis-
souri, river. In both years eighty-ive
per cent. of all the strokes occurred
within this area. In the Southern States
lightning seems to be comparatively
rare, and seldom occurs outside of three
States-Texas, Louisiana and Georgia.
There seem to be two principal centres
of electrical disturbance, from the fire
underwriters standpoint, and these are
in the New England and northwestern
States. Sixty-fiye per cent of the
strokes happen in the summer; the re-
manning thirty-five per cent. are divided
between spring and autumn in about
equal proportions.

FoE several years after a writer began
raising wheat, he could not get the
yield higher than twenty-three bushels
per acre, although the land was rich
enough to raise large crops of grass,
corn, and potatoes. The wheat was
top-dressed with rotten manure, but
still the yield was no greater, Then
the two-horse sulky cultivators came
around. He bought one, and used 1t
freely In connection with the harrow
and roller. and the next year, without
any manure, his wheat yield jumped up
ten bushel per acre.
