Fish Ponds q FaiIure.
FROM he Oarnespizls ca R.atste

FROM inc CdF9t66 Cb6JS lT0s) ff6QiSbeTs
Several years ago quite number Of fish
ponds were started in this county, and
stocked with carp. The most astonishing
results were predicted and expected. The
fish, it was thought, would multiply BY
thousands annually, and grow TO the
weight of from one to four pounds the first
year, land grow still more rapidly in sue
.ceeding years. 1t was also believed that
the carp was a most excellent fish for
table use. In all these expectations, the
carp raisers have been disappointed the
fish neither grow nor multiply very rap
idly, neither do they taste well after they
attain considerable size. There may be
more than one reason for the failure of
growth and increase, but we offer one
that is conclusive.
The ponds rarely exceed,or even reach
one fourth of an acre in size. The young
fish are estimated by thousands each
spring, but we will cut them down to one
thousand. These are expected to grow to
the weight of two pounds each, the first
year, making one ton OF solid nutritive
flesh produced on one fourth of an acre in
twelve months. The production of every
pound Of flesh would require at least ten
pounds of nutritIye food. To produce
ton of flesh would require ten tons, or
10000 pounds OF food. Where is the food
to come from? Does any one expect ten
tons OF bugs, flies and worms, to fall into,
crawl into, or rear in fourth acre pond.
The food necessary to raise a ton of fish
would be equivalent to 357 bushels Of corn.
This estimate leaves out all former crops
still in the pond-includlng only one
spawn Of a thousand fish. A htSle figur-
ing will show every owner of a carp pond,
that his sanguine expectations were

large snake fell by his side and at once
wound himself into a coil. Mr.. Herring
ton dIsmOunted, got rail and started to
kill the snake. Not more than one lick
was given when the snake. making a con-
tinuous clatter upon the leaves with his
tail, began to raise himself up and stood,
mouth open, nearly seven feet high. lie
then sprang at Mr.. Harrington, who, not
caring to remain in such close rOximity
with the reptile, found himself measuring

wonder must one look upon the tiny crea-
lures! There are hundreds of boxes in

beautiful honey, all SO nicely capped over
that one can carry il any distance with

swell, in what may be called the short
spring season, the comb honey Is pre-
ferred on account of its beauty, but as a
saleable article the extracted honey is
best.''
Mr.. Hart always protects himself
thoroughly with bee veil and gloves, when
working with the fractions creatures, but
occasionally receives sting from some
red-hOt bee, more enterpTising than its
fellows, which Goes not have much effect
upon him. His eyes twinkle with laughter
when he sees one and another flying be-
fore a bee, Shaping and gesticulating
violently. One little fellow was stung six
or eight times the other day, and twenty
four hours later was a sight to behold.
His face Gas well as his head was level
all aTound-couldn't see wink. The
bees resent the rObbing of the hives more
than usual this year. Does instinct teach
them to protect what they have, as the
honey season may be short?

N fact. one of the Army's strongest holds

The affairs of the Army are conducted
on strict business principles Collections
are taken at nearly every service, and the
soldiers are eXhorted to give freely and

Army may be strengthened and extended.
All surplus beyond the payment of rent

Probabl. the story of how Mrs Webb,
wife of DR.. W. 5 Webb Of coax Ledge"
and daughter of the late William H. Van
derbilt of New York, bought a flock of
turkeys of Shelburn woman, is
familiar to most of the readers of
the FREE PRESS, who have heard
it related by word of mouth The
story, as it came to me, is as follows {:
Mrs. Webb was riding out one day this
summer, when she met an old lady driving
hock Of turkeys along the side OF the
road; The turkeys were young but
line looking fowls, and Mrs. Webb con
ceiyed the idea of adding them to her
flock OF poultry At Oak Ledge. Directing
the coachman to rein up his horses, Mrs
Webb asked
Would you like to sell your turkeys,
my good woman?'
"Not yet, thank you" was the reply
81 am raising them for market and they
will not be fit to sell for some time"
But would you not be willing to sell
them now for what you could get when
they are ready for market About what
would they be worth then
III they turn out well, think ought
to get at least dollar apiece for them,
nam"
"How many turkeys have you ?"
Fifty"
well, then, I will give you 80 apiece
for every one of them, and hundred dol
lar bill to help you pay for your little
house"
Not long after Mrs. Webb's servant
called for the young turkeys, and the de
lighted old lady was made the recipient Of
800 in crisp bills-the result of Mrs.
Webbs unostentatious and graceful man
ner of doing a charitable deed.
