Carp for Every Farm.

Seth Green, the noted fish cul-
turist, writes to the american
Agriculturist" for November:
To construct a pond, first stake
off your land the desired dimen-
sions; then take pillow and scraper,
and with them make the necessary
excavation. The pond should be
about five or six feet deep in the
center, gradually sloping up to
the edge. The object in having
the pond deep in the center is to
provide the fish with a place to
settle into during the winter with
out danger of the water freezing
solid and thereby killing them, as
would be the case in cold climates
if the water was all shallow. The
reason for having the bottom slop-
ing is, that thereby the fish can
have access to plenty of warm,
shoal water, and also that in case
the old fish are not taken out after
spawning, the young fish will / ave
the protection of the shallow water
along the edges, into which the
larger fish cannot swim if they
should feel inclined to make a
meal on some of their younger re-
latives.
The outlet should be about three
feet wide, and so constructed that
it can be well screened to prevent
the fish from escaping, and SO as
to admit of the being drawn off
when it is desired to remove the
fish or to cleanse the pond. The
screens may be made of wire net
ting, and painted with gas-tar
mixed with one-third turpentine,
or to the consistency of paint, and
applied with an ordinary paint
brush. The wire netting should
be tackled to strong wooden frames,
made to fit the space to be screened.
To screen carp pond effectually,
three screens of different sized
meshes should be used. These
should slide in a grooved frame
work, SO that they can be taken
out easily and cleaned,
Carp can be raised in well water
but water from a brook is prefera.
BILE. They viii succeed in the
Northern States if the ponds are
deep enough not to freeze to the
bottom in winter. Carp do moi
require feeding in winter, as they
burrow into the mud or hibernate
until the ice. disappears in the
spring.
There appears to be a difference
of opinion among the authorities
as to which is the best kind Of
carp. The scale carp are said to
be the most prolific, and the
leather carp grow the fastest. Fo,
my part I prefer the latter; it is
the handsomer and finer fish Of
the two. AS to their qualities as
table fish, SO far as my experience
goes, l have not been able to dis
cover any difference between
them.

GLEANINGs.

4 writer in the aCountry Gem
tleman' says that he has fed for
three seasons his entire herd in
milk on green rye, and the improy-
ment in quality of milk, cream
and butter is marked. Green rye
makes butter gilt-edged. He uses
no colloring for butter.
There is good deal Of refuse
and rubbish in every garden that
can with profit be disposed OF by
feeding it to the COWS. Beet tops,
cabbage leaves, etc, can be fed to
advantage and without perceptible
injury to the flavor of the milk, If
they are eaten just after milking
and in moderate quantities. But
ii will not do to let COWS eat such
stuff to excess or in large quanti-
ties.
Kill your next years weeds now,
says the Country Home" Pull,
dig, NOV, rake, pile and burn all
the weeds you can find in titled
land, meadow, pasture and by the
roadside, now and you will have
destroyed untold millions of weed
seeds which otherwise next year
would have developed into nox-
ious, labor-making, manure-con-
Stunning, crop-weakening weeds,
enough to make the heart sick, the
back ache and the pocket empty.
In no way can so much food be
obtained, and SO cheaply, as by
planting an apple tree and seeding
the ground down to grass. The
tree should be trimmed SO as not
to carry surplus oil waste wood,
and every few years a good coat OF
manure may be spread under it.
unless the hogs or sheep are al
lowed to eat the grass and fruit,
and If they are, no more manure
is required. The little rootlets, if
left alone, will meet the hogs and
sheep very near the surface and
take up all Their offerings and re.
turn the same in fruit, more ano
more every year.
The "Dairyman'' says that ap
pies are an excellent food FOL
mich COWS, and produces a goot
quality of milk. But they mus
be fed with judgment, or evil con
sequences will follow. 1t will no
do to go on the principle that if
little is good, more or an unlimit
ed quantity must be better. Be
gin with a peck or so at time
night and morning, and after a few
days the quantity may be increased
a little until it will be safe to Civ
the COW all she will eat, or even lie
her run in an orchard and he'll
herself.

Candidates for Hydrophobia.

If bitten by dog, supposed to
be mad, don't follow the usual
proceeding and kill the dog. He
may not be rabid after all, and if
he is put out of the way there is no
means of ascertaining. Tie him
up, fortlfy you. courage and await
developments. Probably large
majority of people who think they
have been bitten by rabid animals
are entirely mistaken. Dogs often
bite when they are not mad, and
it is foolish to brighten ones self
into hydrophobia by sheer force
of imagination, as many do. Gases
of genuine hydrophobia are rare;
and in any event, it is an advant-
age to have the animal on hand
which gave the bite.

Beauty, the Auctioneer.

Attractiveness secures an added
price for any product the fruit
grower may have to sell. Beauty
is one of the most successful
auctioneers in the world. Berries
in a clean box sell better that if in
a dirty box; and the addition of a
few green leaves or neat cover
ing of netting of complimentary
color will further increase the
price. A decayed or dirty berry
often prevents the sale of the
quart. The keepers of fruit stands
buy the incest colored apples and
rub them till they glisten. Why?
Because such apples will sell
readily when apples of better
quality, but not attractive, will not
sell at all Nor is it in the least
dishonest to thus obtain the aid of
beauty, the auctioneer. 1t is not
practicing deception; it is simply
pleasing the eye, which is usually
the buyer. Putting clean, bright
fruit, in clean, neat boxes or
baskets, and setting it off" with
leaves and netting, is not like
putting the best ON top and the
inferior fruit in the middle, and is
the surest, cheapest way of getting
a sure demand and high price,

A H.ikaroI Man

The late Colonel Wright was one of the founders of Admiral Foote post, C.. A. R., and was it's first commander. He was a very liberal and benevolent man and gave away during his life large sum in charity. Especially was he liberal to old soldiers who were in need. As corporation counsel of the city of New Haven he was indefatigable, and it is said that he saved the city large sum of money by his labors in the city's inter. ests. He was undoubtedly the best and ablest corporation counsel the city of New Hay en ever had. Perhaps the greatest law case in which he was engaged was that growing out of the failure of the American Mutu. al Life Insurance company of this city, in which he represented the company and Hon Henry B. Harrison, now Governor Harrison, was arrayed against him. It was 8 notable case
