PRoFlTAeLE FISH FARMS.
A New Industry Now Being Developed by
Progressive Farmers.

A New Industry Now Being Developed by
Progressive Farmers.
The practice of raising food fish for
market has become of late very prof
liable industry, and in some parts Of
the country is being carried out on an
extensive scale.
The equipment of fish farm, as it is
called, is very simple and inexpen-
sive operation. Land which would be
valueless for ordinary farming may be
used for the purpose, the only require
ment being a plentiful supply of good
running water. The best site for q
farm is a hilly or mountainous district
where the water runs swiftly and is in
terrupted by waterfalls, since this
serves to aerate and refresh the water.
The fish farms are usually provided
with three ponds, each of which is re-
served for fish of about the same size.
AS the fish grow, they are changed
from one pond to another. The fry is
usually bought at the state or other
hatchery and placed in the first pond.
The food for the fish is the principal
expense There are a variety of pre-
pared fish foods on the market, but it
has been found that the fish fed with
prepared food have decidedly beefy
flavor. A plan very generally adopted
is that of planting the ponds with an
abundance of fresh water shrimp.
These grow very quickly and soon pro-
vide a plentiful supply of wholesome
food.
1t will be seen that the fish require
little attention and the conseouent in
come from such crop is almost clear
profit, In the season the product of
fish farms sells in the market at one dol
lar pound and out of season, if the
sale be permitted by law, n much
higher price may be realized.-Scien-
tific American.

should be IA, and for turkeys 16 inches
high. For shipping by freight or long
distances, make So feet long 3 feet
wide and l foot high for chickens,
fowls and ducks; for geese IA inches
high and for turkeys 16. The coop is
divided by a partition across the
middle. Use posts inches square for
the corners and middle. The Stats on
each side next to the bottom should be
feet inches long, the others at each
end feet long. The inches extension
beyond the end of the coop is to hold a
feed trough. The long Stats and
bottom boards are 81 feet long, all
three-eighths of an inch thick. The
Stats are from 21S to inches wide, free
from knots and straight grained. A
V-shaped notch Is cut in the projecting
ends of the lower Stats to hold the feed
trough outside of the coop. Put the
stats on the sides and ends about 3
inches apart but closer on top to pre-
vent the fowls from getting their
heads through. Make a feed trough
of two pieces of board or 5 inches
wide and the end of the coop with end
blocks in and nail we'll in the notches of
the bottom end pieces and to the side
slat. The best feed to use is cracked
corn thoroughly soaked, as it holds the
moisture and will not sour. The illus
tration shows the heavy style of coop
in perspective.-S. b. Conoyer, in Farm

his mouth has been properly cut Mr..
Pig should be laid square on his back
and four matches or small sticks of
wood should be sharply thrust through
the skin and well into the lemon at or
near the places indicated by the rings

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

SHEEP must have pure air and plenty
of it; see that the sheds are we'll ven
tilated.
Do NOT feed corn to pregnant ewes if
it can be avoided; it develops too much
heat and fat.
KEEP an eye on the sheep at this sea-
son; if insect or scab is found treat
ment should follow at once.
WHEN feeding sulphur to sheep they
should be protected from rain or melt
ing SHOWS; in fact, they should be so
protected under all circumstances.
IT is not safe to feed millet seed, or
millet hay the seed of which was fully
matured to stock, though sheep will
take better care of it than any other
animal, since they masticate their food
more finely.-Prairie Farmer.

Pigs like to sit down, and they usual.
ly do after eating; so it is just as well
to make the pig repose in this comfort
able manner at the start. Now ask
mamma for a couple of black pins to be
put in above his nose for piggy's sharp
little eyes and whittle out two ear
shaped pieces of thin wood, dye them
with pink on the inside with paint or
red ink, and press them in over the
eyes so they will ''lop" or hang a little.
Now tie small piece of grayish brown
string about the head of pin and drive
it, head and all, in through poor piggy's
skin where his tail belongs. You can
then cut the string off to leave his pig
slip with tail of an zach or so in
length.
It's really of little Importance where
you keep this kind of pig, and pigs
themselves don't seem to be very par
ticular where they are kept if they only
have enough to eat. You can make
small pen of one of papa's cigar boxes,
and / will show you how to hang
the door and fasten it so Mr.. Pig can't
get out unless you open the gate for
him.
The inside measurements of the box
should be by 8 by 4 inches,
though some pigs like large pen, and
a great deal depends upon how often
you let your pigs out. When you have
made your pen take three pins ami cut
the heads off in such a way as to leave
a point, with an old pair of shears or
file, and then bend them carefully into
q long, slender ~" for staples. Now
cut piece from the cigar box cover
quite as long as the pen is wide and
about an inch wide itself, the grain OF
the wood running with the length.
This is for the gate. Make notch in
the center of one end for the latch.
Now for hanging the gate, which is
the incest part of the whole job and
must be done very carefully. The first
thing to do is to hammer down the
heads of two pins SO they will pass
through the staples. When they are
just righ'Slrive one into the lower edge
of the gaze, close to the opposite end
from the latch. If you don't put it
very near the edge the gate will bind"
it won't openly freely. Now put the
other pin in the upper edge, directly
opposite the lower pin. Then lay the
house on it's back, the open side up, and
place the gate in the position you want

both the bell for receiving the alarm,
and the "trip" or device for mechanic
ally releasing the horses, which shall
describe further on.
This is the first bell to ring the
alarm, or number of the station whence
the alarm is sent; but before 1t rings
there is a slight "clicls" heard in the
Morse instrument placed above 1t.
This might be called warning bell, "
and by the ordinary listener would not
be noticed at all; but to the quick ear
of the man on watch and the equally
well-trained ear of the horses, there
needs no second stroke to tell them
that an alarm will follow. This "clfclS"
is caused by the opening of the electric
circuit in which the station is situated.
Beside the combination-bell, or
''joker," there is small weight that
slides up and down brass rod. It is
held in place at the top by catch con-
nected with the hammer of the bell;
and, as this hammer draws back to
make the first stroke of the alarm, it
releases this weight, and the weight
slides down the rod. Being attached
by little chain to a lever projecting
from the side of clock hanging beside
it, the weight, as it falls, pulls this
lever down and stops the clock, thus
showing at what instant the alarm
was received.
very large lever set with trigger-like
catch, and connected by certain mech
anism underneath the floor with the
stalls of the horses The same falling
weight strikes the trigger also, and re-
leases the lever, and the lever in turn
releases the horses.
Above the combination is placed a
Morse instrument, sounder and key,
and beside it telephone to communi-
cate with headquarters or with other
companies, and also few frames con-
tanning list of stations that particular
company goes to on receiving the first,
second or third alarm.
At the other side, nearly over the
desk, is placed the big gong, twelve or
fifteen inches in diameter, and very
loud-sounding. This begins to strike
about when the smaller one gets
through, and should the man on watch
haze failed to count the number of the
station on the Joker" he will have no
difficulty in getting the number from
the big gong, for it strikes slowly, tSFat
is, slowly in comparison with the
"'joker," which rings the number out
very fast. The large gong is very loud,
and can be heard block away. The
company receives four rounds on the
small bell and two on the big bell; or,
more correctly speaking, the number
of the station is rung four times on
the Joker" and twice on the big
gong. But it is rarely that the firemen
have to wait to get the signal from the
latter, for before the small bell has
ratified off its four rounds the engine
has rolled out of the house and they
are ON the way to the fire.-From

The Weight of Hay.

The Country Gentleman says in reply
TO correspondent who asks how to
measure haymow to find the number
of tons of hay: Compact timothy hay
requires about 500 cubic feet to weigh
u ton considerably more, perhaps TOO.
as 1t is brought from the field, but the
quantity will vary with the pressure
caused by the height of the NOW, and
with the age of the grass when cut.
ripe and stiff grass yielding less under
pressure, and requiring more in bulk
to weigh ton. Stiff, coarse hay will
be found to weigh less than fine and
flexible hay, which will pack solid.
The quantity we have stated is q fair
average for well-settled hay.
