CARP CULTURE.
THE PROFITS TO BE DERIVED FROM A
FISH POND ON THE FARM.

FISH POND ON THE FARM.
The carp fish is a native of China.
According to missionaries who pene.
trated the interior of Chira at an
early da,e. mu.titudes of these fish
ascended the rivers and into the rice
fields through the bitches used to
Hood them, and there deposited their
eggs, where they soon Matched. Du-
ring the month of May the people
bar the river in various places and
with mats and hurdles collect the
eggs aud yonng fish that are Just
hatchcd, put them in vases and offer
them for sale. Merchants come from
other provinces to get them for indi.
vidnal ponds. They were imported
into Germany and Austria between
400 and 600 years ago. Carp have
been caught at Frankfort, in Ger
many, that weighed IS pounds
They are very prolific f,h. A five
y\ old female has laid 100000
eggs. There are three varieties of
carp-scale, parti-scale and scaleless
carp. They all have the same form
In buying carp to stock ponsds al
ways be sure you hny of a reliable
breeder that has pure-hred fish, as
So to S. more OIL hundred fish or
on dozen spawners does not
amount to any thing in starting
pond, because if you get pnrebrcd
fish in The stert. and take proper
care, you can keep them pure. There
are some breeders selling fish that
are mixed with gold fish, ca,i-h,
chnbs, etc. They arc worthless at
any price. Not over one farmer in
one hundred but can have fresh fi-h
in season if he will. Some say it
will be oyerdonc. Look at the large
cities to supply with fresh fish. Ger
man carp will command from IL to
IS cents per pound wholesale, now,
in our cities. Can You make one
third of this clear on hogs, cattle or
poultry, with the time taken in their
care? Carp can be raised at one
third the price of poultry, by actual
test. You can raise in one acre
pond 1000 pounds of carp, with
feeding $40 worth of feed. By ex
pertinent of reliable carp cultnrists
near our place, one ton of mill feed
will produce 1900 pounds of fish
At the small sam Of 8 cents a pound,

the architect of his own fortune. His char
acteri is simply that which he actually Is. IL
is purely the product of his own work man
ship. These general considerations, seem
appropriate to be mentioned in order that
some limitation may be placed on the
functions of the school. They are 30
large extent the creatures of popular senti-
ment. They belong TO the whole people,
the ignorant as well as the learned, the
poor as well as the rich, hence a mixture
of ignorance and intelligence must enter
into the measures adopted for their admin
istration. In this way those who are nearest
to the children and are the best Judges of
their wants, are debarred from doing what
they ought to do for their benefit Ignor-
ant, narrow minded men in the school
board, are, without intending to be so, the
worst enemies of the schools, The ques-
ton then is, what ought the laborers to do
for the schools?
THERE Is BUT ONE ANSWER.
They should give TO them at all times a
large-hearted support. The school system
should be administered solely on its merits
Political notions and methods shonld

agement of the system. This is
one of the points toward which
the interest OF the laborer and the schools
converge. and at which they become identi-
fed. The point was made that the system
of education for any age or people must be
in harmony with the needs and prospects
of both. For example: The education
suited to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks
would not be adapted to the requirements OF
modern times. lie said that i'm this age of
marvels, steam and electricity have ami
Inflated space and time, forever changing
the conditions OF modern life. The whole
system of education should adapt itself 10
this condition. The present system of edu-
cation is almost exclusively through Ian
guage. 1t begins with certain arbitrary
signs. representing certain impulses of the
human voice. They embody no thought,
symbolic no tangible thing. Word build
ing in our language is illogical, contradicto-
~ and absurd. The mind is injured by
this process beyond remedy. The future
progress of the child is a mere struggle
with words, many of which are without
significance. The gist of the whole matter
is that the education of the past recognizes
too exclusively the abstract and artificial
method of dealing with the human facul-
ties. 1t fails to teach the real and tangible
side of life.

il involves legal points which have
bearing on other litlgations.
and on its decision rests the disposition OF a
number of tax title cases, in several OF which
railroad corporations are parties. w. w.
Bilson of Duluth appeared as one or the
counsel for the appellant, partly because he
holds n tax title To a portion Of land In this
city claimed by the Omaha CON-
pany. On the part OF the
defense appeared Attorney John ID. Howe OF
the Omaha road. Gordon L. Cole, on the part
OF the other roads, and J. %. Beals. The at
torneys for the respondent make the Issue on
the oonstitutionality OF the law OF 1881 on
that subject. which processes 10 repeal the
law of 1877, providing that ninety DAYS
personal notice shall be given to
by the purchaser OF n tax title before the
expiration OF the time OF redemption. The
claim is based on the fact that the law
embraces is it's title more than one subject,
contrary 10 the provisions OF the constitu-
ton. The other side claim that the law OF
1877 is defective in a similar particular.
They claim that If the law of 1877 is still
in force owners of land sold tor taxes can
redeem the same if the required notice has
not been given.

LABOR AND EDUCATION.
Prof. Phelps Delivers His Lecture
on the Unity Course.


Prof. Phelps, secretary of the chamber of
commerce, last evening delivered an adj
dress before the Unity club, in the club
rooms in the basement of Unity church,
upon the subject of the relation of labor to
education. 1t was listened to by quite a
large and interested audience. and attracted
much attention from the fact that at the
present time the labor troubles are exciting
a great deal of interest throughout the
country.
THE FIRST POINT
made by the speaker was that, of all the
questions discussed during the last half CEN
tury none exceed the school and theIabor
question. 1t is self-evident proposition
that the child and the occupation of the
man sustain to each other an intimate and
vital relation. One of the leading objects
of education is to prepare the individual
for the duties of life. Its end is the train
ing and full development of the facul-
ties, and the equipment of its sub
ject with power and the knowledge
of the laws of the universe. Such
an education enables man to subordinate
the laws or forces of the universe to the
purposes of his existence. 1t gives dignity
and value to the school, and is one of the
agencies by which this process of evolution
is accomplished. But the school is not the
sole agency. First in order, both in time
and importance is the family, and especially
the mother of the family. This does more
than all others combined The destiny of
many child is determined before he en-
tiers the school. Children at four or five
years of age have been found so depraved
as to commit any crime within the compass
of their capacity.
THE NEXT POINT
was that external circumstances, personal
associations, the influences of society gov
eminent, ETC., as they affect human con-
duct, are also educators. The whole uni
verse. is, in large sense. but school, and
the generations and races of men as they
pass across the field of space and time are
its pupils. Each individual, however, de-
termines for himself the status of his futu re
character and destiny. Every individual is

AT THE HOTELS.
People who Passed Through the
CITY Yesterday.


Mr.. Drake. the editor of the Aberdeen
(Dak.) Pioneer. passed through the city
yesterday on his way home after business
trip to Chicago. AT the Merchants, he
said that the people of Dakota had not
given up all hope of seeing the territory d.
vided by the present congress. He thought
that the recent action of the congressional
committee in discussing the division ques-
ton without reaching final decision was a
very hopeful sign and he had no doubt that
if the division question was brought up be-
fore the whole house that it would result In
its passage by good working majority.
He said that until congress decided adj
versely to the petition for division, the peO-
pie had reasonable grounds for hoping for
favorable legislation on that subject.
80
Referring to the open candidacy of Gen.
II. Allen of Fargo for the position of Dele
gate Clifford, he said that it was an open
secret, and had been for some time, that
Allen was seeking 10 secure the nomination.
He doubted whether Allen would be sue
cessful, as Allen, being a resident of North
and Clifford of South Dakota, the old fight
between the two sections would again come
up, the result would be that Aliens follow
ing would be confined to North Dakota
kota voters, and the latter being more
numerous, Clifford could name the success
full man.
So
w. II. Wynkoop, Rush City, registered.
He is a longtime Republican resident of
that locality, and has served in more than
one official capacity, his last public Office
being that of county auditor. He is at pres
ent engaged in business on which account
he visited the state capital.
-"
Senator Hall, Red Wing, stopped be-
tween two trains. He said that political
affairs in Red Wing were not engaging gen.
eral attention at the present time as no can
didateS from Whereabouts were in the field for
any of the state offices. 1t was the impress
sion in Red Wing, the home of Coy, Hub
bard, said Senator Hall, that Cow Hubbard
was not a candidate for denomination in the
sense of seeking the place, but at the same
time that Gov. Hubbard would consent to
serve another term if sufficiently urged to
do so by having the Republican state con-
venti0n nominate him for fireplace, con-
tingency that might arise by bitter contest
between the other candidates necessitating
a compromise candidate.
