GERMAN CARP.

The carp belongs to the gold fish family.
writer in II Southern Cultivator, who
has had experience in this line, says he
knows of no investment that wi | give a
better return He put sixty hree fish III
a small pond in 1888. A year later he put
them into larger pond three-quarters OF an
acre in size, and found forty-seven fine large
fish. Tha. spring they spawned. In the
fall the wri err drew the water OF, anu
found not less than $4,000 lively little fish,
three to nine inches long. He says tina:
with good care an re pond will raise 2,OoO
to 4. 900 fine fish year. They should not
be left to themselves altogether, but should
be fed. like pigs AMI chickens. Like these,
too. they can lie trained perfectly to come
at feeding time. They become SO tame in
time that they can even be caught with the
hand. What fun it viii be to the farm boys
and girls to feed AMI tame them!
When well fed, they grow to fifty and
seventy. five pounds They are good eating
at 8 years old. In the old royal palace at
Fontainebleau, France, there is carp thai
is said to be 800 years If age. The old fell
low Is blind as a bat, but still v5ry lively at
feeding time. He has lived longer than any
government has been able to do in France
for a good while.
The writer above mentioned sells his
young carp to people in his locally for
stocking ponds of their own. The fish he
has can be- caught readily with hook and
line he finds although carp generally can
not be. He feels the fishes on bread, doug l.
boiled potatoes, cabbage, green cora cut
from the cob and grain of all kinds. The
season for the carp to come upon tne table
is October to May. This Is JUS when fresr
food is scarcest. The government pamphlet
gives pictures of the various processes re-
quired In constructing a carp pond.

FARM sGARDEN
The Farmers Fish.

The world over the farmers family de-
sorye the best OF everything to eat. Not
rich. greasy and sweat messeS that will rot
their teeth AZ ma q .hen skinny aud dys-
peptic. al consume all the profits from
their farm hes 'des. Not by any means. But
q varied diet Of fruits, grains, vegetables,
fish, poultry, milk eggs and cream. That,
with scientific farming, the means for
schooling and getting on in the world that
there are in this country will produce from
our rural population, in time, the finest race
of men and women the world has yet seen.
1t ought to be so, and is bound II be, If the
American farmer attends to his business.
The most serious lack to the present
variety of rural diet is that of fresh fish. 1t
Is safe to say there are families Of even well.
to-do farmers who do not have meal of 1t
once a year. Salt mackerel and coifish are
the best they can do il the fish line. This
country is very big, AMI many of the best
farms in it are far removed from the sea
shores and large water courses. 1t is much
TO be regretted for tlsh is an important con.
Stituent OF healthful diet.
The only way to remedy tho defect is Tor
.very farmer TO have his own fish POM. 1t
ought to be a. much matter of course as
the poultry yard or pig pen.
AMI ev5iy farmer can have fish pond.
Pisciculture has now reached such point
in this country that this is easily poss BILE.
The fish above all for the farmer to culti-
vate is the German carp. Right here it may
he remarked that young carp are distributed
free by the United States government. The
way to get them Is this: Write to Professor
S. F. Baird, United States fish commission,
Washington, D. c., for a blank application.
Fill it out as required, get your United
States senator or representative to indorse
it, and then return it to Professor Baird.
You will get the carp at the proper season
for distribution

The Seckel pear originated near Phila-
delphia, before the revolution. A noted
sportsman known as Dutch jacob" usei to
bring home every fall some small Tut de-
lnious pears, declining to tell anybody
where he procure them. About that period
the London Land company, which owned
some land below the city, made sale, and
Dutch Jacob" purchased the lot upon
which lis pear tree stood. 1t afterwards
became the property of Mr. Seckel. and as
he permitted nurserymen to take gratis
and buds from trees, they gave the fruit his
name.

STATEMENT.

TNlIE undersigned, Committee of Di.
L rcc,ors of the Equitable Life AS.
surancc Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx.
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontnc po-
licics. IL Is inimaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putablc after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums on Tontine po-
icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontinc policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
INFLATED profits IN cash at the end of
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than ON an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine pc.
| licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
| holders, so that the average cost of the
| assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th--Tontine policies, like others, are
| paid in full in the event of death at any
| time during the term of the policy, and
| are incontcsablc after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
Gth-EXperience shows that the NOR
tality is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is Il consider
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
| non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State. if so desired at the time the as.
surance is effected
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
Just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business; the
funds iudicously invested and improv-
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9tll-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,750,000 larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $G0,000,0O0; over $l4 00O,-
900 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that OF any
other company.

THE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY
VACCINATION.

VfOutNNttoNs
Some striking statistics are given
by DIR. A. f. Harris, Medical Officer
of Health of Sunderland, Eng, on
the protective value of vaccination.
Smallpox itself, he says, does not
afford absolute protection against a
second attack, and neither is it pre-
tended that vaccination will afford
complete immunity. 1t is, however,
Justly claimed for it, that it will, in
the great number of cases, ward off
smallpox altogether; and in the
other cases it will so alter and con-
troll the character of the disease as
to render smallpox, which is usually
continent, unsightly, and deadly,
into u modified, far less loathsome,
and not nearly so fatal, disease.
In London, in 1881, among 50, 900
children under ten years old. who
were unvaccinated. there were 1872
deaths; while among SCI 900 chill
dren. who had been vaccinated,
there were only 1875 deaths from
smallpox. If the deaths among
the vaccinated and unvaccinated had
been in the same proportion, there
would have only been 8 among the
latter (the unvaccinatedO, instead
of 1872. And if the vaccinated
children had died at the same rate
as the unvaccinated, there would
have been not 1875 deaths, but r.
600 deaths. This great saving of
human life can only he ascribed to
vaccination.
In the London smallpox epidemic
of 1868. the experience of the
Metropolitan Asylum Hospital was
that. while the vaccinated cases of
smallpox were three times as numer-
Gus as the unvaccinated Git being
always borne in mind that the vacci-
mated cases of smallpox were three
times as numerous as the unvacci-
nated), the absolute number OF
deaths among the aAauaccindted scas
t,cice as great as among Tie Uacci-
mated. Out of 10, ISL cases treated
in these hospitals, 1874 were vacci-
mated: 2,507 unvaccinated. There
were 1888 deaths, and of these
1905 were unvaccinated, while there
were only 62s among the vaccinated.
Or, to put it in another way, the
death-rate was: among the vacci-
mated, 80 per 1000; among the
unvaccinated, 4S1 per 900.
Revaccination once successfully
employed does not appear to ever
require repetition, and is an almost
absolute protection. The late MIR.
Marson, of the London SMALLPOX
Hospital, certifies that the servants
and nurses, on entering that institu-
ton, are at once revaccinated Gum
less they have had smallpox pre-
viously), and that the protection
afforded by the operation is so great,
that they who must of necessity be
constantly in the closest proximity
to the disease, never took 10. This
was the experience of forty-one
years.
From 1869, in London, out Of
nearly thousand patients admitted
into the smallpox hospitals, no cast
of smallpox acas hnoacm Of any
person qoho had been efficiently vGc'
cinated and successfully revac.

NOSES TO ORDER" The nose is car
tilage, - said a surgeon, and its shape
may be changed with ease. \ clever
FTenchman some years ago invented
machine for that purpose, and, have
heard, made a fortune by it, so many
people are troubled with noses whose
shapes DO not please She owners or the
owners friends The machine consist
ed of a she'll in two parts, hinged TO-
gether. It, shape inside is that of a
perfectly nodded nose, according TO the
type Of the features of the wearer. So
you can obtain Roman, Grecian, re-
trousse, aquIline or any other shape you
desire.
" To apply the Instrument the nose
is first ba.hed in warm water at bed. time
and thoroughly heated and softened.
Then it is well creased with olive oil,
glycerine, vaseme or other oily sub
starce. Finally, the nose-imprOver is
fixed on and the sides are clasped to-
gether, and the weareT keeps it ON all
night, taking care in the morning to
wash in cold water only. 1t is rather a
painful process at first, but after the
first two or three applications there is 70
more trouble In about month the
nose begins TO take its new shape, and
in from eight to ten weeks the altera-
tion is said 10 be complete and perma-
uent-that is, until the patient becomes
tired of that particular shape and is de-
sirous of having another, when the same
operation with another instrument is
uecessitated. 1 have known people TO
change their noses four or five times in
as many years. In that way q man can
change the style Of his nose SIS often as
ne can the cut of his breeches.

MILKING COWS.

That cows should be regularly MIXED
is equally as important as that they
should be regularly fed, and every farm
er knows how much more quiet animals
are which become accustomed to regu-
larity in feeding. They learn to expect
their food at a certain time and are on
the lookout for it at that time and not
at any other, and are quiet while If
fed with irTegularity they are continu-
ally on the lookout and uneasy for want
of feed. So with milking if there is
regularity the COW is expecting the time
and is quiet ~ ~
There is no giving down of milk, as
it is termed, before the time, that re-
suits in any painful distension Of the
udder. In the state of nature it is
probable that the COW is relieved Of her
milk a great many times during the day,
because the calf left with its mother
helps itself as often as its inclination
prompts. Under such circumstances
the udder Of he mother will remain
small, because there is no necessity for
enlargement to twelve hours milk. But
if milking is to be performed only twice
in tweuty-four hours, there must be an
unnatural enlargement which is liable
TO produce feYerish symptoms, hence it
is better not TO allow The calf TO run
with the COW but to let it have access
% her at certain regular times. The
ar1lar- flrar1 f.lnrrsaH narrr-fs.rV1Gl en- 10 fha
accumulation of milk and attains a rat
uTal distensiOr which will occasion no
feverishness. But in this practice as
soon as the time Of milking arrives it
should be attended 20, because the I'd
der is fully distended and if the milk is
not removed the animal will suffer pain,
and again will arise a danger of fever.
1t is very necessary that the udder be
properly attended to after the period OF
parturitiOn, as then a very slight irr;ta
tiOn of the lacteal organs will be most
sure to bring on that worst of maladies
fever.
Ii milking is delayed too long, nature
will endeavoI to relieve the poor animal
and an absorption of the milk into the
blood will to some extent take place, anC
that which remains will become deteIi-
Grated, and if the practice of neglect il
milking at regular times occurs Will
much frequency, the regular secretion
of milk will be diminished and finally
permanently checked, and if continued
for any considerable length of time the
animal is liable to become wholly dry
as has sometimes been the case. Thui
will be seen the Importance Of greatest
regularity in this important branch o.
agriculture.
