TROUT FARMING
REMUNERATIVE
A Good Opening in White
Mountains to Start
Hatchery.
AN INTERESTING STUDY

Culture Requires Intelligence and
Watchfulness.-T Must be
Kept in Dark Places.-A Hatchery
Fifty Feet Long VIII Hold Five
Million Eggs.
The old paths of business have be-
come so overcrowded that it may be
| interesting to some to hear of new
avenues for productive industries in
| their own locality. We are all to q
large degree initiative, andsever ready
to follow beaten paths; but the pioneer
and builder in new and useful fields
of endeavor is the true helper aud
benefactor to mankind, and has the op-
portunities to establish q lucrative
business for himself.
There is chance for some enter
prising person to start q trout farm on
one of the streams in the White Noun
tain near which the extension of the
Ell Psso & Northeastern railroad is be-
ing built. There are several streams
and Eagle creeks, which by the fact
that they afford good sport to the
angler, is sufficient proof of their suit
ability for trout farming. Trout fetch
es fifty cents a pound in Ell Paso and
the demand is great, and will be still
greater ss the town increases in size as
it is rapidly doing. BY obtaining the
concession of one OF the streams and
stocking it for angling woald also prove
remunerative, as visitors to those parts
are sure to be numerous in the near
future.
The culture OF trout forms an inter-
esting study and requires intelligence,
watchfulness and constant labor. First
of all hatchery has to be built. The
eggs are placed in trays whose sides
and bottoms are made of wire netting,
with meshes close enough to prevent the
eggs from falling through. These trays
are laid in the troughs in the hatchery.
twelve hundred eggs 10 each tray.
perature flows with a movement too
slight to disturb them.
The trough is carefully covered up,
as it Is essential to exclude the light
Here the little eggs remain for a pc
Rod of fifty days before the fish are
Matched. At frat it is little larger
than a pin, but has attached to it a
sack of nutriment upon which 1t lives
for six weeks, during which time it is
still kept in darkness. They then see
the light and are fed several times
ed liver, which in semi-liquid form
is sprayed upon the water. AS they
become larger they are moved to the
ponds in the creek, fed on liver and
mush and caught by nets as required
When the season approaches for
spawning the trout of one year and old
er are lifted by nets and placed in tubs.
Here they are sorted, and the females
about to spawn are taken in hand and |
by gentle pressure of the fingers
down the body of the fish, relieves it of |
It's eggs. The male fish Is then taken
IN turn, and by the same method Ia re-
ieved of Its fertilizipg miIt, and the |
eggs are ready for Matching.
A hatchery of fifty feet in length and |
thirty feet wide will hold five million |
eggs in its troughs.

Shallow Covering of Manure.


Farmyard manure should be kept as
neal the surface of the soil as possible.
The rainwater as it percolates through
the soil has tendency to carry the
soluble plant food downward and out Of
the reach of plants. Consequently an
attempt should be made to delay the
downward progress of plant food instead
of assisting it by blowing the manure
in deeply. Then again, nitrification is
most active near the surface of the soil
Therefore. manure kept lear the surface
is under more favorable conditions for
having its plant food made available
and consequently gives quicker returns
When heavy application Of manure
has been plowed under deeply, it is no
uncommon thing to zee Jumps Of ma
nure brought to the surface by subse-
quent blowing, showing that it had
never become properly incorporated
with the soil. 1t is qnite probable, too,
that this deeply buried manure has lost
considerable nitrogen through denitri-
fication Economical manuring consists
in obtaining quick returns ever as large
an area of the farm as possible, and this
is accomplished by moderate applica-
tions incorporated with the surface soil.
Shallow covering Of manure also in.
creases the humus Of the surface soil.
As result, the soil does not bake and
crack in dry weather It absorbs and
retains water much more satisfactorily
and works up into fine filth more
easily. New England Homestead.

SMELT HIS WAY IN.
How the Shippers Son Got the Bess
Into Port.

How the Shippers Son Got the Besa
Into Port.
Tho pigsty certainly was nuisance,
and after having filled the little fishing
village with assorted odors for many years
self appointed health committee decided
that it would be for the good Of the COM
munity that the aforesaid nuisance
namely, the pigsty-be abolished. "
The meeting Of the committee was held
at the village store, and the committee
men sat around the big stove. Only one
of them, Sam Jordan, an old fisherman,
seemed to be dissatisfied with its decision.
When asked his reasons he tilted his chair
back and spat ON the stove; then, shifting
his quid to his other cheek, he began:
WAL, yer see, that thar pigsty did
me good turn once that I calkiate I
won't forget 1t soon. This Is the way it
was: Yer see, mo and the lad" jerking

Strangely enough, once had an i'm
preston that cats tendency was to
travel north and to face the north as a
magnet does, and that this tendency had
some intimate association with the electric
al strength of its fur III brief, looked
upon eat as lightning conductor on q
small scale, and that according to its
temperament, negative or positive, did it
face north or south, or just as the points
Of its fur We're attracted by tho negative or
positive poles of the Garth. l was led to
this by some observations that l had made
some years previously in a London suburb.
Then noticed that the cats Of that par
ticular district had tendency to walk in
particular directions on the walls that
faced the north rather than to walk on
walls that ran east and west.
As to the idea that cats arc good
weather gauges, do not credit that. 1
believe that tho reason cat washes itself
over its ears or not Is bound up with tho
particular method by which the particu-
lar animal cleans itself. Its main object in
washing, to my mind is just to complete
an electrical circuit, for by so doing it
generates heat and therefore a pleasing
sensation In its fur.-Casscll's Magazine

Geese are not supposed to be very sensl-
BILE creatures or at all particular about the
cleanliness of the food they eat. Popular
Science News, however, records an in
stance In which they were better than their
reputation.
The geese in question were on the bank
of the York river Virginia, and had dis
covered q good supply of that delicacy Of
southern goose diet-picces OF watermelon
rind. Unfortunately these particular
pieces were SO covered with mud and sand
as to be in q very uncomfortable condition
for eating. But the geese-a large flock
knew how to overcome the difficulty.
As each bird picked out piece Of rind
from the garbage heap it inspected 1t, and
II it seemed too dirty for immediate con-
sumption carried it at once to the river,
dropped 1t into the shallow water and
stood watching it until the running stream
had carried away the extraneous matter
and left the tempting pulp fresh and COM
paratively clean. This accomplished, the
goose stepped into the shallow water by
the side Of its freshly washed food and COB
bled of the edible pulp with much appar-
emit appreciation.
The writer watched the geese for half an
hour or more and saw the thing done re-
peatedly, and that by several birds. 1t
seemed as If that particular flock had ac
quired the habit Of thus washing their
food

cAuLIFLoWER CULTURE.
How to Make Il ray-First sewsa1
Of Seed In Hetbed In March.

How to Mako Il Pay-First sewiAs
Of Seed In Hstbed In March.
There Il . good profit in growing
caulihowsrs for market II the conditions
are all right, but with the culture often
given them. they are not a reliable
crop. In growing oauliaowers for sale.
the FIRST thing to be considered 10 q
market for these Injuries. The crop 10
not staple one, like some which are
considered necessaries Of life, and you
must find people who want them and
are able to buy them. In most large vii
lagos there is sufficient number Of peo-
pie who want them to make market
for few thousand heads In some sea-
SONS. and at some times in the year.
there is good profit in growing them
to ship to dealers in the cities, but the
most money Is made by retailing them
in villages where no one is growing
them and there is no competition.
1t is not best TO economize too much
in purchasing seeds. The higher priced
strains of white caulifowers, where the
type has become established by careful
selection for several years. are more re-
liable in heading, and the whittier the
heads the better they will sell in the
u market. The large pure white heads
with the leaves trimmed nicely around
them attract the eye, and people buy
them because they "look nice. The
EARLY SNOWFALL is the standard with
many people and probably more extern
sively grown than any other variety
and is usually very satisfactory. I make
the first sowing Of the seed in hotbed
in March A little later I SOW more
seeds in a cold frame, and SOW at differ
emit times in the open ground from
April until June. My plan is to have
only small part Of the crop mature at
one time, for the leaves will soon grow
through the heads if they are not mar
keted at the right time
A deep. moist clay soil is the hest
for caulifowers, although good crops
can be grown on any good garden soil
I cover the ground two or three inches
deep with stable manure and pillow it
in. Then harrow and furrow two and
one.haf feet apart. If have well rot
ted manure, I scatter it in the furrow
and mix it with the soil with the cul-
tivator, or. If the manure is not at
hand, set the plants and in few days
apply around them little commercial
fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen. Vege-
tables of which the leaves or stalks are
the edible parts need plenty Of nitrogen
in an available form. The plants are
transplanted at different times from
May until June. Cauliflower plants
from the hotbed should not be set too
early unless they are well hardened for
they are more easily injured by frosts
than cabbage.
In addition to the foregoing sugges-
lions given in Vick's Magazine the writ
er says that to insure success one must
have some means Of irrigation. The
plants should not stop growing at any
time; hence the importance of irrigat-
ing them during drought.

Hard to Please.

"A small boy of my acquaintance, "
says writer in tho Boston Transcript,
'stood the other day taking n lesson in
feminine human nature-not his first les
son, but bitter one-with quiverng lip
and deeply perplexed face. He exclaimed,
having reference to his still smaller sister;
dolly cries because l don't do a
thing, and when do it then she cries
because do it,
"This was true and natural, but the
boys remark was not so profound as was
an anccdote which once read In the
French. A wife, SO this story related, was
awakened by her husbands weeping and
bowling in the middle Of the night. He
was evidently having q dream, and she
woke him and asked what was the matter.
"'Oh, my dear, he said, rubbing his
eyes, I dreamed that you were deadP
Hal she said bitterly, and turned
away from him. Great griefs are mute. !"

THE SAP OF TREES.


Never UesCeA0as
Probably nearly nine out OF every eon
believe that sap ascends in the spring and
returns In the fall Although have
never been able to find anything to the
contrary in any book l have ever seen,
know from long and careful observation
that this Is not SO. The sap never descends
1t fulfills its Office in causing the growth
Of the leaves and adding another to the
rings which indicate tho annual growth Of
the tree. So soon as the leaves fall the
sap begins to reascend This can be proved
In various ways Any farmer who has
cut pile of hard wood IN November has
noticed the sap flies gathering around the
ends Of tho sticks on warm days. They
are attracted by the sap, which can be
seen issuing from the ends of the sticks,
which sap had already begun to ascend be-
fore the sticks were cut
Any hunter who has set line Of log
traps for sable has noticed the sop flowing
from maple sticks in warm days In No
vember. Partridges begin to bud in No
vember and find something besides dry
twigs or they would not bud. But a still
more convincing proof Is that In some
warm falls have known maple strip to
be made and sold in quantities Of several
gallons at a time. Pussy willows, where
growing In wet places, often bloom In
warm November and December. One can
see that the buds on the horse chestnuts
are swelling In January. The sap which
is proved to be present in all these cases il
not the sap which went up in the spriuy
descending, but new sap which Is going
up.
No one ever speaks Of the sap in corn
stalk going down in the fall. 1t has fed
the leaves and matured the corn, and its
work ended there. So in the tree each
year the sap has finished Its work when
the leaves have matured and new crop
of sap at once begins to take Its place. OF
course this sap cannot ascend when the
wood Is frozen, but whenever the wood Is
thawed 1t keeps ascending.
Another error is that trees in growing
carry their branches up with them as they
grow, or, to make it palmer, that q limb
which Is five feet from the ground will In
time be ten feet. The fact Ia that limbs
grow as much lower on the lower side %
they do higher on the upper side and NO
more. A limb which Is an inch In d.
ameter, II 1t grows to be three inches, will
be an inch farther from the ground on
the upper side and an inch nearer on the
under side. The forks or crotches In trees
often get to be considerably higher from
the two branches which form 1t growing
together as they increase In size. The top
Of the tree grows up, but limbs do not
rise above where they are when they first
start out.-Forest and Stream.
