MONEY IN BROOK TROUT.
Vermont Farmer Gets Good Returns for
His Labor in Raising Them.

That a farmer can derive more profit
from raising brook trout for the market
than from most any other source, of like
requirements of money and time, has
been clearly demonstrated by Lewis j.
Johnson who has a fish preserve on his
farm two miles out of West Brattlebor-
ough, Vt. By utilizing the clear spring
water running through his farm, by his
own ingenuity and with very little
hired assistance, within a few years he
has established an inexpensive hatchery
where he has succeeded in Matching and
growing large number of brook trout
with which he has, partly at least, sup
piled the local markets, besides furnish
ing thousands Of small fish for stocking
different streams in the adjoining towns
All these have netted Mr.. johnson a
handsome return upon his capital invest
ed aside from the pleasure afforded, and
incidental diversion from the usual farm
labor, which, however, it has not been
necessary to slight because of the fish
culture.
From a modest beginning Mr.. Johnson
has gone on with his fish establishment,
adding new and inexpensive ponds,
miniature falls by dividing and diverting
the springfield rills, till today he has a
succession of long pools stocked with
thousands Of sportive trout of all sizes,
strong and hourishing in the purest and
coolest water. In connection with his
plant Mr.. johnson has constructed at an
expense of Il few dollars modest hatch
ing houses with their numerous troughs
III which to propagate the trout from
eggs. Here he has Matched this season
100000 trout, all of which are alive and
thrifty, and most of which he hopes to
raise for the market. Already he has or
ders for part of this fry at 81 per 1000.
1t takes, on an average, two years to
rear the fry TO the fishing size, though,
of course, some fish grow slower than
Others. Mr.. Johnson has a few two
Founders which are not much more than
two years old. After the first year trout.
under favorable circumstances, grow
rapidly, in fact more so than in early
life. Last year Mr.. johnson sold. in the
home market, several hundred pounds of
trout to people who came with rod and
reel. taking them from the larger ponds
and paying from 80 cents to 81 a pound.
These with liberal supply for private
and club suppers brought in a handsome
revenue to the propagation, who expects
to exceed that revenue from this sea-
sons sales.-Springfeld Republican.

walnuts in Washington State.

Ten prominent farmers of the Wenat-
chez valley have decided to conduct a
series of experiments III the cultivation
of English walnuts. They have secured
sufficient seed to plant forty-five acres.
one man proposes to devote twenty acres
10 nut trees. The promoters hope TO
demonstrate that the soil and climatic
conditions of that section are adapted
TO successful nut culture. The market
is at their doors, and success is assured
when the crops are harvested. The new
industry promises profitable invest
mcnt. and will add much to advertising
The country as Il desirable location for
diversified tree culture. Walnut grow
ing is comparatively new to the orchard
lists of this state. 1t is not in the eX-
perimental stage One farm in Chelan
county has produced excellent nuts The
trees were grown from seed and began
bearing nuts when five years old. Last
season they gave better profits than any
fruits III that section. Similar results
have been attained in Clarke county and
other localities in the Puget Sound re-
glon. The only reason why home grown
nuts have not been placed on the gem
eral market is that no large areas have
been planted. New that Wenatchee has
made beginning it remains fer other
districts to follow.
The use of nuts as food is increas-
ing every year throughout the United
States. Physicians recommend nut
diet in many instances as meat sub
Stitute. Scientists claim that much of
the sickness of the people originates in
the use of improper foods that can b,
remedied by eating more nuts. 10 sun
ply the increasing demand our country
must import large quantities of nuts
from foreign lands every year. The
money sent to South America and other
places for these necessities could be used
at home in building up the farms and
identifying the residences if the farmers
produced the nuts. Here, then. is one of
the opportunities Post ntelh

Worth Remembering.

There are three entirely different kinds
OF ingredients used in making the three
different varieties of baking powders on
the market, viz.:-O Mineral-Acid or
Alum, ~ Bone-Acid or Phosphate, ana
81 Cream of Tartar made from grapes.
It is important, from the standpoint of
Wealth, TO know something about these
ingredients, and which kind is used in
your baking powder
"a Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitrol and from this solu-
ton product is obtained which is
alum. Alum is cheap; costs about two
cents a pound, and baking powder made
with this Mineral-Acid sells from 10 to
Zoe a pound.
90 BoneAcid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders and
the process is fully described in the pat
ents issued to a large manufacturer of a
phosphate powder. The u. s. Patent
Office Report gives full and exact de-
scription, but the following extract is
enough:
Burned bones, after being ground, are
put, into freshly diluted oil of vitriol and
with continual stirring and in the follow
ing proportion ETC.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made: such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound.

scraped from the cask, boiled with wa

white and very pure, separate and are
collected. 1t differs in no respect from
the form in which it originally existed
in the grape. Cream of Tartar, then.
while the most expensive, is the only in,
gredient that should be used in a baking
powder to act upon the soda, as its
wholesomeness is beyond question.
Cream of Tartar baking powders sell al
