varies from two inches to five feet. The
soil Is black loan. The shallow water is
lined with willow and fhemlock brush.
Here during the warm sunny mornings
of April and May, the breeders spawn,
depositing their eggs, which are adhesive,
among the twigs and brush under the
surface of the water Just before the
spawning season the carp evince great
activity. Naturally sluggish, 1t now
swims rapidly through the pond, and
often, like the mullet, jumps its entire
length out of the water. Whenever I
ascertain that the carp are spawning, I
examine the brush and twigs carefully and
transfer the branches covered with eggs
to the Matching pond, in which no fish are
kept at all here they are placed in shall
low water, and carefully protected from
frogs, turtles, ETC., until hatched, when
they are regularly fed with small parti-
cles of bread saturated in sweet milk. AS
to how many carp can be raised to the
acre: "That depends. IF artiicially fed
I should say five thousand, if not, per.
haps half that number A carp pond
properly cared far and abundantly stocked
with natural food will undoubtedly pay
its owner clear, net profit Of five hun
dred dollars per acre. This will lead a
cotton crop. There Is always demand
for fresh fish, aud they can readily be
sold at ten cents per pound. At that
price, the profit per acre would be enor-
nous, provided always that the proper
care is given the pond. OF the three va
rieties, there is really no difference, if

SEEING Is BELIEVING.

We are prepared now to show the
handsomest and largest stock ever
brought to this market.
Every lady who has been in the store
the past few days will bear US outin this
assertion. Our choice selection Of Dry
and Fancy Goods is eliciting general ad-
miration, and our Prices are, as is we'll
known, the very lowest, considering the
better class Of Goods which ave keep.
Do not be misled by big advertise
ments. We can prove to you very easy
our claim to have the largest, best and
cheapest stock of desirable Goods for the
coming season. All werask is for you to
come in and examine for yourself. See-
ing is believing.
With the many improvements which
we have made, up and down stairs, with
the profuse arrangements of new and
pretty things. and with the large quanti-
ties Of Goods stored all about, we feel like
adopting a remark made by lady the
other day-that the New York Cash Store
looks in reality like flrst-class New
York establishment

German Carp-An Account of Mr. Halls
Success in Fish Culture.
From. the Abbeyille Medium

From Tic A6beUiUe Medium.
Mr.. EDITOR: A short drive in the brac-
ing air of September morning brought
me to the handsome residence of j. B.
Hall in Anderson County, near First
Creek church. Mr.. Hall, upon being ap-
prised of the object of my visit, at once
consented to afford any information in his
power upon the subject in question. The
subject was carp. Says Mr.. Hall, II Sc
cured number of fish about four years
ago from the United States Fish Commits
sioners, and placing them in small pond
prepared for the purpose, awaited results.
The rapidity Of their growth surprised
me beyond measure and when I ascer-
tanned by eating several of the fish, then
weighing from one to one and half
pounds, that the edible qualities were
nearly, if not quite, equal to the shad,
and infinitely the superior of the perch,
bass or sucker, I at once concluded that
the carp was the fish for the Masses and
that its culture could be made an exceed
ingly profitable business. With this end
in view, built extensive ponds, covering
an erea of several acres, and stocked them
with lot of German carp, mirror and
full scale.'
A few moments walk and wo were at
small pond of clear water, covering an
area of quarter Of an acre. "This small
pond" said Mr.. Hall, sis my Matching
pond. It is fed by the water of adjacent
springs, and is from two inches to four
feet in depth. 1t is we'll supplied with
needle grass, pickerel weed, and other
aquatics. The large pond below is tie
nursery pond;' in that pond I have sew.

Earle, of this County, and was most
highly accomplished and estimable Chris
tian lady. Residing from girlhood up to
few years ago in this community, she
has many friends and admirers here who
deeply sympathize with her bereaved
family. Possessed of a bright mind and
high culture, she was an ornament to So
ciety. A pure and pious lady, she illus
trated the virtues of Christian woman
hood. Amiable and devoted in her do
mestic relations, she was the light, the
comfort and the joy of a happy home,
which death has saddened by claiming
her. And yet the loved ones weep not as
those without hope, for they know that
their loss has been her eternal gain.
A large and enthusiastic temperance
meeting was held in the Court House on
Wednesday evening of last week under
the auspices of the w. c. T. U. The Ia
dies occupied seats within the bar, and
the outside was filled with large attend
ance, composed principally of ihe active
and energetic young men of the city.
This was the first public meeting hold at
the request of the w. G. T. U. of this city.
The Union invited Fl. G.. Scudday and j.
E. Breazeale, Esqs., to deliver addresses
or the occasion. The meeting was open
ed by prayer by Rev. J. s. Murray, after
which addresses on the subject of tenn
perance were delivered by the appointees.
The addresses were able, not only expos
ing the great evils Of the liquor traffic and
intemperance, but demonstrating that
prohibition was the only remedy which
could arrest the increasing evil. It was
evident that the large audience was in
sympathy with the speakers, and when
prohibition was insisted upon enthusiast.

A Test Of Sincerity.

\ swell who had been paying devoted at
tention to rich bankers daughter, finally
interviewed the old gentleman on the sub
!ect. After few preliminary remarks, he
said;
81 love your daughter, sir, and want tt
marry her,
sab, is that SOP" replied the father,
looking at him sharply over his glasses
''l'm not surprised at it. She's good
GIRL
81 know it, sir, aud it was her goodness
which won me from the first"
"Ahem, yes-l've heard you had some
very extravagant habits, and some as bad
as they we're extravaganza.
'I've not been saint, sir, but when
| am married and brought under the ten
der influence of a good and true woman |
shall reform.
Il am glad to hear that. 1t would be
unpleasant for your wife if you didu t.
Were you aware, sir, that when give
you my daughter I give you with her
$25, 900 in United State bonds? $25, 600,
sir.
II was not aware of that, sir, but it
would make no difference to me. Pecuni-
airy considerations did not enter into my
calculations at all, sir. Love is of far more
importance, sir, and it is wife, not a
bank account, l am looking for. Money
is mere trash, sir"
"Don't give yourself away. young man;
don't give yourself away. I said when l
gave you my daughter. I'd give you the
money; but you see I'm not going to give
you my daughter, and that changes the as
pect of affairs very materially. Good
morning. Gail around after you have been
reformed about fifteen years. Au renoir.

The Household.

Tuynips IN White Souce.-Shape some
turnips like pears; make a good white sauce,
to which is added some stock. Boil the
turnips in this until they are tender. When
the sauce is we'll reduced latter taking out
the turnips) add to it a little powdered su-
gar, and. at the moment of serving, add q
small lump of butter and the yolk of two
eggs.
Beets Fried in Batter.-Cut well cook ed
beetroot in slices and then place between
each two slices a thin layer of forcemeat,
composed OF finely chopped onion, parsley
and any herbs that are liked, with pepper,
salt and little mustard. Dip these double
slices into good batter and then fry them
in plenty of dripping until they are good
color. Serve very hot, and with a little salt
scattered over.
Roast PorR.-To insure the cracking be.
ing crisp and eating short, care must Do
taken not to put the joint too near to the
fire at first; it should be placed at some lit
tie distance, if not the cracking would bard
en- before the meat would be warmed
through. livery lean, a little good salad
oil should be RUBBED in before putting down
to roast, and it must be kept thoroughly
well basted during the time OF roasting.
French t1eaas SGute.-String some French
beans whole, CT if very large. cut them in
two across the middle. Boil them in plenty
of water, wish calt to taste, and when doue
drain them dry. In tie meantime cut one
or two onions into thin slices lengthwise.-
Put them in frying pan with lump of
butter, Or dripping, and keep stirring =, until
they are n g9ldsg prem % eploag 'a tue
and toss the whole for ten minutes. adding
tie least drop of stock and a very little vne-
gar or lemon Juice. This is q most excel
lent way Of cooking old French beans. The
length of time required fer boiling, of
| course, quite depends upon their toughness.
| The above can be made with canned beans.
Diet for I,apalids.-A fowl can first be
served freshly roas ted or boiled. For the
next day leg or wing can be warmed up
for the invalid, with some nicely prepared
potato snow, and spinach or caulifiower.
The breast and merrythought are best eaten
cold. The scraps of meat from the carcass
should be very finely minced-almost to
powder, in fact and made into croquettes,
or scallopcd in French white china shells
All the bones must be carefully stewed
down for many hours, in very little water,
and some excellent chicken broth will be OBJ
tanned, which will, when cold, be quite
jelly. 1t requires flavoring with a scrap of
very thinly cut lemon peel, and some sweet
herbs tied in a piece of muslin. This can
either be eaten as cold savory jelly or melt
ed down. Elmer way is nourishing, and
extremely nice. besf essence should be
made in the oven. Cut into small square
pieces one pound of gravy beef, and place
il a brown jar, with little salt on it, and a
teacupful of water. Tie it down firmly with
brown paper, and leave for FIVE or six hours
il the oven until all the goodness has been
extracted.

Farm and Garden.

Feeding Roots MANY farmers feed roots
without first freeing them from dirt. This
is an injurious practice and harmful to cat
tie.
Buttermik. Feed plenty of this to the
hens. Either give it in place OF water or
thicken it with a mixture Of bran and meal.
Thick milk and skinned milk are also ex-
cellent.
Poisoned Sheep.-A gill Of strong green
tea is said to be a specific for sheep poison,
ed by eating laurel. A farmer who has used
this remedy many years says be has saved
hundreds of sheep by it.
Piqs on the F'arm.-A farmer says that
two pigs furnished with muck, sand, weeds,
and sod will manufacture them into the best
of manure, which will be worth, when the
pigs are six months old, as much as ton OF
the best superphosphate that sells for sou a
ton.
Hen Lice.-Before the spring opens, look
to your hen houses. If they cannot be
made fright there is no use in fumigating
| with sulphur Kerosene is always a safe
and sure agent in the destruction of hen
lice. Use it literally, saturate every beam,
perch and nest with it.
| Young iStock.-The calves and lambs
need extra care through the early spring
weather, with its sudden changes Do not
let them begin life ON a losing basis. Guard
them from exposure to sudden changes, cold
winds and storms. 1t may cost much ex-
ira feed in the future to atone for slight
check in growth now.
Treatment Of Co,cs.-Watch your farm
hands and note their treatment of cattle
The brutal habit of kicking cows should
not be allowed. A kick in the udder will
very likely result in bloody milk. Although
the consequences of blow or kick on the
ribs may not be seen at once, more or less
damage will certainly follow.
Salt the ,Stock-This is necessary mat
ter and ono that is often overlooked. Keel
a lump of rock salt in the feed box of each
horse. Serve COWS that are stall fed in the
same way. A board on which some coarse
salt has been sprinkled may be placed in
the yard or field in which COWS are turned
for exercise. Do not forget pigs and sheep
Give the former in addition little powder
ed charcoal. This is essential to theil
health.
