Fish Farming.

A correspondent of Home and Farm
writes as follows concerning the rails
ing of fish:
Writers who are in position to
know, claim that one acre, intelligent
ly farmed, in water, will produce twice
the amount of revenue than any other
substance. However, in the discus
sion it would be obviously unfair, to
use the words of Professor Benecke,
to compare good ponds with poor fields.
or good fields with poor ponds The
live brainy farmer accepts no state
ments in regard to increasing the yield
of cotton, corn or wheat, nor does he
adopt the more scientific methods of
any farm labor without a thorough ex-
animation of the subject, and where
evidence of gain and economy are not
wanting does not hesitate to place him.

strongest, and / might add one of the
most deceptive ways of disproving the

Corn and Cut-WOrms.

An incident bearing on this subject,
now undergoing good deal of discus
sion in some places, may afford some
instruction 10 young farmers. Some
years ago | planted in drills with
planter, six acres of corn on inverted
sod; and being absent afterward some
days did not return till the crop was
several inches high, when discovered
that at least two thirds was destroyed
by cut-worms. There was not enough
left for half a crop. AS the planter
could not be run in the same rows
again without destroying the remain
ing corn, which | was unwilling to
lose, directed the workman who had
the field in charge to replaut by run
ming new rows between the old ones.
But" said he, this will make the
rows only twenty inches apart, so mar
row that we can't cultivate 'em." |
told him we had made provision for
that difficulty. and directed him to go
ahead. The cut-worms had mostly
gone by the time the new rows made
their appearance: and before they had
come up, | directed the man to go
over the whole with the smoothing
harrow, the first planting being nearly
a foot high. Why" exclaimed the
man, ''you will kill all the corn that is
left, to harrow right over il that way!"
He had never seen the smoothing-har-
row before, and did not know how it
operated. He did as directed, how
ever, and when he came in at night
said, "Well, | have laid tits iona
for!' He supposed that by bending
over the plants he had killed them,
but admitted day or two later that
they were all right again. The ope "a
ton was repeated after the second
crop was several inches high, and the
older plants over foot. The harrow
did not destroy one plant in fifty, and
the loss of a great number would have
been better, as they were rather too
thick. They all grew up together,
and the season favored well ripened
crop. The borrowings had kept the
fields clear of weeds.
L resolved next year to avoid all
this extra work as soon as the young
plants were up. | placed two active
men in the field. to trace at every cut
plant its destroyer and to kill it by
digging. This operation was repeated
three times in the course of a few days,
till no more cut-worms were found.
The labor amounted to four full days
work, worth Sc in all. Several hun
dred cut-worms were killed, and full
crop of corn, amounting to about 800
bushels, was saved. In other words,
each mans work saved seventy-tive
bushels daily. This was an extreme
case; but l have always found this the
most economical way to save the
crops. Traps for catching cut-worms
have proved slow, imperfect and less
satisfactory than prompt and ready
attack

Drunkenness Among Children.

mo more rock and rye candy or
drops of wine cordial confectionery"
is the cry of the different branches Of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union. The crusade has begun, and
it will be relentless warfare. 1t was
started at West Chester. and a big con-
stable intends to seize all the rock and
rye drops, and the dealers will be
prosecuted for selling liquor without a
license.
In an interview recently the Presi-
dent of the Woman's, Temperance
Union said: IF we can do anything,
either legally or otherwise, to stopthis
pernicious practice it shall be done.
We have gone to many of the small re-
tail candy dealers lately and requested
them to stop the sale of rock and rye
candy. Many of them complied with
the request, but it is still manufactured
and sold in large quantities. Even
small bottles of rock and rye are also
vended. We certainly do object to
this feature of the candy business.
Why, all our children will become
premature drunkards if it shall be
allowed to continue. When once
they get into the habit of purchasing
such articles at candy-stores, they will
then take nip on the sly in some Sc
cluded beer-saloon.
Only the other day lady friend of
mine, who has a couple of children,
was terribly shocked by seeing them
come from school, their eyes all afre,
cheeks infamed, and cutting the most
curious pranks. In great alarm al

steady she asked the cause of their ex-
uberant feeling: They blubbered out
laughingly: 'We'se been eating rock
and rye There is great amount of
whisky in this rock and rye candy, and
it is of such an inferior quality that it
easily affects those who essay to eat it
1t is lamentable fact that even candy
cannot be manufactured without plac-
ing some strong drink in it. Just look
at those wine cordials that are sold
daily to the young by INSCRIPTIONS
dealers. There is a pretty little port
wine drop to suit the palate of one,
there is the sherry drop to please the
taste of another and so on ad intinitum.
These cordials ought to be suppressed.
The question to be decided, however,
is whether the sale of such candies
without a license can be proved illegal.
If it can we will fight it grimly."
The manufacturers of cordials and
rock and rye candy claim that such
action on the part of the temperance
ladies is a species of fanaticism. ''Why,
if a child could eat ten pounds of rock
and rye candy" said well known
confectioner of this city yesterday, sit
would not make him or her intoxicated
in the least. l admit that there is
some little of Intoxicating spirits in
such candy, but it is small. do not
suppose there is one-9uarter of a Thin
bleful of whisky in twenty-five rock
and rye drops. These people cannot
do any harm to us, and all their talk
is mere twaddle."
1t is said that the members of the
union intend to investigate just how
much spirituous liquor is contained in
the different kinds of drops, and will
begin a series of experiments as to the
effect that pound of rock and rye
candy will have on a person.-Phttd-

who csmped ON the opposite side of q

which the military authorities had erected

Planning for the Dairy.

1t is a good time now to make plans
for the Spring and the Summer, says
A. l.. Crosby in the National St0cknsdn.
You want piece of ground to plant
with corn to cut while green for the
COWS when the pasture gets short next
Summer. This lot should either be
near the barn or the pasture. If not
too billy now is the time to put the
manure on it. In planting corn for
this purpose | drop six or eight grains
together, about every two feet in the
row, with the rows 2! feet apart. / do
this for convenience in cutting; be-
sides there is less danger in getting
the corn too thick if planted in this
way than there is if it is sown along
the row. Most people get their drilled
fodder corn entirely too thick; they 60
in for quantity, not quality-and miss
both. If the seed is very good even
six or eight grains are too many to
drop together, as we want only four or
five stalks to grow. These will give
pretty good ear to each stalk, and the
leaves and stalks will he healthy
green color clear to the ground.
If you have silo-and you ought
to have one-the ground for the en-
sllage corn ought now to be MANFRED;
the only trouble is to get the manure.
About ten quarts of good seed per acre
is thick enough for ensiiage- There is
no use in paying fancy prices for seed
corn for ensilage; good Southern white
or yellow corn will do, and | think a
kind that does not grow very tall is
much to be preferred. 1t is not so
easily blown down, is easier handled,
has as many ears, and the butts of the
stalks are not so large and woody. If
you are a Summer" dairyman, and
have been accustomed TO breeding
your COWS to drop their calves in the
Spring. try, if your cows are not all in
calf. few of them for Winter cows
There is no law to prevent you from
having fresh cows whes milk and but
ter are bringing the best prices IT
any one tells you that Winter calves
are no good don't believe him, for they
are just as good and as easily raised ~
