BROOK TROUT CULTURE.
A Pond for This Purpose Should BE Con.
structed on Every Farm.


The culture of brook trout, even on
a small scale, is a source of continual
delight, and with pure running water
at hand anyone who has carefully OBJ
served the habits and requirements of
trout in their native brooks can sue
cessful1y raise them. If a stream
crosses the farm the pond should not
be made directly in line with the
course or bed of it, or freshets may
wash its entertainments away. At least
every hard rain will roll the pond, de-
posting mud to the detriment of the
fnny prisoners. If stream is to sup
ply the water make the pond at one
side of it, but never on a fat that may
be overdowed. The best method is to
delve the reservoir out of the side of
some slope rising from the stream, and
then carry the water to it Ivy an open
feeder, high enough up in its source to
permit of gentle, easy flow, as seen
in the accompanying sketch. The
feeder may be a deep, narrow ditch
with sod banks, and protected at both
its ingress and egress by finely woven
wire screens. The pond itself need
not be more than four or five feet deep
in the center, sloping to a shallow
edge at the circumference. Break up

A WORD OF CAUTION.
Tons of Butter Are Spoiled After the
Product Leaves the Dairy.

Tons of Butter Are Spoiled After the
Product Leaves the Dairy.
Dairy writer's frequently caution
against placing butter where it will
absorb the odor or favors from the
decaying vegetables. The worst thing
about this is the need of it. Butter
will absorb odors, not only from stale
vegetables, but from sound ones. and
they impart to the butter flavor that
destroys or overpowers the true butter
flavor. A crse in mind just now. The
writer was supplying butter to the
former owner of this farm, and one
day planned what was intended for
pleasant surprise, SO, before the cover
was nailed down, some nice apples
with delicious aroma were placed in
the package, separated from the butter
by a cloth circle and a layer of salt
The surprise was on the other side.
Word came back that the butter was
fine in looks, and grain and everything
but flavor; that was not agreeable.
Now, some butter has an unpleasant
flavor that never was near rosy apple,
and there was a possibility that the
cause should be sought elsewhere, but
in due time came later report saying
that the butter was excellent after the
surface layer had been removed.
This suggests another point: Con-
sumers should have suitable place to
keep butter after they get it If the
surface is all the time exposed to the
odors of vegetables and kitchen havors
unclassifed, the best of butter will
soon get off flavor, and the maker will
be under suspicion of furnishing but
ter that will not keep. Agricultural

rhree-crop Rotation.

A three-crop rotation which kills the
weeds and does not exhaust the soil as
much as some methods is to piow clover
under and plant the land in corn for
fodder and ensilage, which can be re-
moved in time for wheat, sowing clover
again in the spring. 1t Is not advisa-

er, unless there is also an application
of manure or fertilizer, but to vary

seem to have dropped out aud towns like
Leavenworth and Atchisoa are making a
success of carnivals while we watch them
and do nothing.
"1f the business men give the festival
their support it will succeed and am
glad to see that they are generally in
favor of it. 1t will take money to make
the affair a success but the business men
will get good returns for ell the money
they spend

easy matter to make a very imposing
