FACTS FOR FARMERS.

UNDERSTANDING permits the air and
warmth to penetrate to the roots OF
plants.
Always use sufficient bedding in the
stables to absorb and save all of the
liquid manure.
When farmer buys thing that he
can produce as cheaply, he Is running
opposition to himself.
Common red clover and orchard
grass do well together, because they
ripen at about the same time.
Make, save and apply all of the
manure possible. 1t Is the poorest Of
economy TO allow manure to 60 to
waste on the farm and try commercial
fertilizers.

FISH FARMING PAYS.
A Kansas ,inn Gives the Results of
His Experience.

MS Experience.
The Rural World has on many occa-
sions said that an acre Of water devoted
to fish culture would bring much larger
returns than if devoted TO general farm
ing. Mr.. Lyons, of Kansas. has been
raising fish and has ponds devoted to
them, as well as furnishing ice for win
ter. Many of the fish live on crawfish
and other natural food about the ponds.
But that is not sufficient to supply the
vast number there now. Mr.. LYONS
feeds them corn. lie grinds il by steam
power and then steams the meal. Five
bushels of this ground steamed corn is a
feed for each of the two principal ponds.
On 1t the fish thrive, and there are now
many there that will weigh as much as
30 or 80 pounds. Mr.. Lyons watches
them as one would a herd of cattle, is
az careful about them as the most par
ticular stockrnan. He studied their M
ture and knows what to do with them
under varying circumstances. He
works with them day and night, when
sver they need attention. a careful esti-
mate of the supply there now, made by
experienced men, puts ii at so tons,
making them worth close to $4,000.
The work on the ponds and dams has
made them worth an easy $4,000, maxi
Ing valuable plant of il. The income
from the fish would pay very large
rate of interest on $4,000 for years to
come.
