THE alleged or so-called Rcpub-

Pleasant Hill last Sunday for the
purpose of formally opening the
campaign, and invited the candi-
dates of the Peoples ticket to be
present and participate. Not a

date put in an appearance during
the afternoon, but after night one
of tho regularly ordained so-callod
Republican candidates appeared on
the ground. After some time this
candidate proposed TO treat color

drank only Peoples ticket straight
whiskey and no persuasion would
induce him to drink at the expense
of the +. o. Sc. r. C. The regular

candidates have such q bad cause
that they are afraid to discuss their
claims openly before the public.

Wherever there is a small natural body of
water, it can be utilized. 4 pond 100 by 80
feet will be large enough to supply family,
though one of an acre or two will enable the
owner to sell fish. Let willows fringe the
banks and pond lilies grow in the waters
1t can be made i'll pretty ornamental shapes,
round, oval or Maltese cross pattern. a run
ming stream or swampy ground at the foot of
hills can also be utilized for a fish pond.
The illustration shows pond of very sim
pie construction. In making it, a writer in The
Southern Cul+ivator says that he simply built
a dam as high as he wanted it, and saw how
far the water would back. Next he writes:
~ then went far enough above and started a
ditch to take all the water from around the
pond, except enough to supply the pond and
keep a small stream running off In the
figure ID is the dam; A is water way with a
wire gauze across 1t to keep in the fish; b
is a ditch running above the head of the
pond c is the feed pipe which may be opened
or closed at will With this arrangement
high water never affects the pond.
Fish eat up "wigglers," and so keep off
mqeluitoes Mosquitoes and malaria are said
always to exist together, and it is quite pos
sible the carp will also eat the vegetable
germs which are believed to produce malaria.
The ponds must have an outlet and an inlet
The outlet should have across the mouth
some kind of perforated covering, to prevent
the escape of the fish. Wire cloth screens are
recommended in carp ponds" Mr. Smiley
uses three of these, of different fineness placed
at intervals. The water must be drawn off
once or twice year to get out rubbish,
snakes and outsiders destructive to carp.
Ice ponds may be well utilized for fish.
Ponds should be not less than three feet in
depth in their deepest part, says the govern
ment report, and they should gradually lessen
to depth of one or two inches, to provide
the shoals required for spawning Small

The Niddlebury REGISTER now for more
than year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. 1t intends to con-
tinuc publishing such information from week
to week. giving at least page TO its Horse
Department. When sufficient material mas
accumulated we expect to place it in book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the Morgan Horse, and afterwards Reg
lister of the more distinguished sires and
performers In the latter we hope to include
all . 80 performers, with their breeding, so far
ne can be asccrtnincd; also to distinguish be-
tween things that are known and things that
are not known, in every pedigree. In all cas-
es the evidence upon which the pedigrees are
based will be given to the public through the
columns of THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER. This,
we are satisfied is what the public wants ana
ought to have. Many judgments are better
than one.
THE REGISTER by reason of this extensive
information and this method OF giving it, is
rapidly becoming Indispensable to all breed
ers and horscmcn. 1t should also he an eX-

those dealing in Morgan horses

Look out for it. In several parts of the
country it is already raging, notably around
Chicago, also in New Jersey. 1t is the most
fatal disease affecting cattle that is known.
Symptoms: Appetite and rumination be
come irregular and there is dizziness, fever
and a short cough. In COWS the flow of milk
is leSsened
Pleuro-pneumonia is lung fever. The lungs
become filled with the matter from inflamma-
ton. The symptoms become aggravated as
time goes on, and the animal dies in ten to
twenty days. This plague is as contagious as
smallpox Wherever it appears among cattle
it is usually good-by herd. Be on your
guard. 1t can he communicated by clothing,
by the wind, by water troughs, or by past
ures etc. Quarantine against it. As soon as
it appears it is best to butcher all the
healthy animals of the herd at once, burning
the bodies of those that die
In many parts of the Union the cattle of in
fected herd, are seized by official inspectors
and slaughtered, the state paying the owner.
The plague was brought to this country from
Europe.
The COW do 'tors generally begin with their
hollow horn and wolf in the tail tomfoolcry
when called to pleuro-pneumouia. The aver
age cow doctor is an ignoramus. Don't let
him torture Your cattle. The hollow horn
business exists in his own hollow head. 1t has
little in it but superstition.

FANNIE B. 2:2el2, BY LAMBERT
CHIEF.

Mr.. L. |. Franklin, president of the
Farmers and Mechanics association, At
tlebOro, Mass, writes to the American
Cultivator as follows:
"We brought down a bay mare last
April which was five years old the 2Sth
ult., and showed us mile in 3.04 the first
time ever upon our track. With my own
training and driving through the summer
she trotted a trial upon our track in 2.31.
| then put her in Fosters hands at Mar
ragansctt. Three weeks before our fair
(Sept. 10, she won her race here, taking
a record of 2.3G. At Providence the fol-
lowing week she won the first heat from
Daireen in 2.29 IL, and drove the latter
out the next morning in 2.27 IA. How
is that for colt not five years old when
she got her record? Daireen was only
five last April. Our mares name is Fan
ME b. Her sire is Lambert Chief. She
trotted the last half of the fourth heat in
Ill II, and the middle quarter of the
fifth heat in "a II seconds"

average The same story comes from all d
rections-promsing condition and good
growth till the middle of June and from that
time forward series of calanities which
have resulted in the most disastrous
failure ever known to growers The
first enemy encountered was the Aphis,
or plant louise, which made its appear
ance during June in unprecedented numbers
and severity. The usual remedies for this
pest were tried but with little apparent
effect, and the plants attacked made but
siclly progress. Following rs the result of
this attack of plant lice lAphides) there has
been widespread damage from honey dew. In
some yards this substance has been found in
quantities sufficient to produce a miniature
shower blackening the ground beneath the
vines. No section of the state has apparently
escaped this attack and in some the enfeebed
plants have been visited by midew and other
blights, SO that it is estimated that ID per
cent. damage has been done the roots of the
vines.
According to commercial authorities the
crop of the state last year was from 100 600
to 10000 bales of 1SOpounds each, of superior
quality, while estimates of the crop of this
year range from 5000 to 5000 bales of very
inferior quality. Since the irreparable dam
prices have already risen from to 1-3 cents
to p and 30 cents per pound.
Mr. Emmett Wells, of New York. an au-
thority on the subject, says: "The crop in
this state will be about 10000 bales the quail
itv of which will he simply trash. There are
5000 brewers in the United States; it is
doubted if New York will he able to give
each brewer one bale of decent hops. The
failure is the most complete on record. The
Pacific coast is expected to turn out 5000
bales of fine hops: these with the old ones on
hand will go a good way towards supplying
our home brewers the coming season. Large
| quantities of English and German hops will
| find market here if our prices are high
Mr.. Joseph w. Forwood Bouckville, n,
Y, gives expression to the following remarks
! on the Aphis "The cause of the damage is
! lice which live on the sap Of the vine They
come in spring in the shape of dormant
| flies: these lay many eggs and in n short time
they become lice, which very soon generate
with great rapidity and continue to reproduce
until something destroys them, or they do as
they have done this year, starve to death.
They suck the sap from the veins of the leaf
and the vine their secretion is the honey dew
that shows itself on the leaf and vines, and
seems to stop the circulation of the sap from
the root to the top of the vine. This year
they came on earlier and much more numer-
Gus than ever before, and have virtually de-
stroyed the crop. Many thought the fly a
new kind this spring, but this is "A mistake, as
| have noticed them for the last eighteen
years. They generally come from the 20th of
May to the 4th of June, but this year there
were some complaints as early as the first OF
May."-New York World.
