Of the Cimmaron River, in the center of a

CARP PONDS.

How They May he Constructed to the
Best Advantage and at Small Cost.
The cultivation of carp is of sufficient
Importance to fully warrant the con-
struction of ponds for the purpose.
But there already exist, on many farms,
ponds used for the collection of ice and
for watering live stock, which could be
converted into carp ponds at a nominal
cost. There are also many hollows
and depressions in the land that, by
throwing up a breastwork, could be
made to answer the purpose admira-
bly, 1t is very desirable on several ac-
counts to have your pond so you can
draw the water off any time you wish,
so the fish can be sorted and for de-
stroying the enemies to carp. BY
draining the ponds once year the in
truders can be removed. Tho best de-
vice to put in ponG' to drain it, is
cast-iron pipe (they are the cheapes)
six or more inches, according to the
size of your pond; get it long enough to
90 clear through your dam and pro-
ject about two or three feet at each
end. Make a large wooden plug,
driee 1t in the pipe on the inside Of
the dam. and when you want to drain
your pond, get pole and drive the
plug out of the pipe. When the pond
is dry you can drive il in again.
Never build pond where large
stream of water flows through it, be-
cause it is liable to break your dam and
wash all the spawn and small fish
away. when there is a great amount Of
rainfall. Build beside such stream
and let the water in at the upper end
of the pond, through a tile with net
ting over it so other kinds of fish can
not get in with the carp or they will
mix and be valueless in little while.
In building breast. clay soil is the
best, but other soil will do After YOU
have decided where TO build your dam,
get a scraper, such rs You use in work
ing the roads A tongue scraper is the
best. as you can handle it better. Plow
up about eighteen or twenty feet wide.
the length of your dam. and scrape all
the sod and soil to the outside. then
plow again, and then scrape till your
dam is as high rs you want it. Always
keep the clay. if there is any, on the
inside of the dam. When your dam is
done seed it down to white clover. as
it will not freeze out rs quick as other
kinds will. and when it is in bloom its
beauty alone will pay you for your
work without the profit on the fish.
When YOU make an overflow, get a
pipe and put an elbow on it. The
pipe should be large enough to carry
the waste water off Put the long end
of the pipe in your pond and the short
end through the dam. 1t will draw the
cold water from the bottom of the
pond instead of warm water from the
top. rs the warm water ALWAYS rises to
the top of any pond or vessel Carp
thrive best in warm water. Ii should
be shallow on the out edge of the pond
and three and half to four feet deep
in the middle, sloping gradually. so if
there are any children about they can
not step off into deep hole suddenly
II person makes any size pond you
can have pleasure boat on it. which
is alone worth the cost of the pond -

STEALING BAKED BEANS.

| Book agents have sometimes queer
experiences in their travels. A young
man relates with great gusto the fol.
lowing incident

good qualities of his wares, and, after
the manner of his tribe. soon waxed
warm on his subject. The good house.

set chair for him, and hoping he
would excuse her looks and her
house, tor seein' twas bakin day she
hadn't got things set to rights was
soon deeply interested in his book.
The agent talked ON. His sharp eyes
took in glance the appointments of
the old-fashioned kitchen. His men.
tai comment was something after this
fashion:
Tisn't over and above nice that's
a fact. Floor is dirty as pig-pen.
But she'll wash it up, maybe. There's
an appetizing odor Of brown bread and
Indian pudding. Baked beans, real
country baked beans, too Tn tired to
death. There's no house near. Guess

can stand the dirt one day."
Just here his attention was called to
a small black-and-tan dog that seemed
to be frantically jumping in and out of
the stove oven. Being somewhat cur
ious to observe the dog more closely,
he moved his chair around where he
could do so, and belleld just inside the
open oven door pot of beans steam
ing hot, and emitting the savory smell
which it seemed he was not alone in
approaching.
At every jump into the oven the
black and-tan would catch mouthful
of the beans, drop them on the floor
until they were cool, and then devour
them. The poor dog was evidently
half starved, and the book agent kept
ON talking up" his wares and telling
new tales.
This went on for some time, the wo-
man being unconscious of the havoc
made with her Sunday morning break
fast.
At last the dog giving two or three
convulsive jumps into the pot, brought
out a huge piece Of boiling hot pork
upon the floor. The young man could
stand it no longer, but burst into a
loud laugh, which with the yelling of
the dog, who sadly burned his mouth,
called the attention of the woman to
the state of her bean-pot then she ex
claimed

Beck again into the bean pot went
that unfortunate bit of pork, and the
book agent went his way, concluding
he would not stop over Sunday, and
meditating ON "ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain"
