A WATER FARM. Possibilities of “Agriculture" of a Watery Nature. Profit In Raising Fish and Frogs for Market. It has not been many years Binec water farming was added to tlie possi¬ bilities of "agriculture" in Indiana. It began ns a diversion. It has become a business. Enough time lias now c'npscd to demonstrate that water farming may lie made practicable and profitable—as least as profitable as some other rural occupation, and more enticing than tho ordinary life of an agriculturist. As much money can bo made off nu acre of water as off an aero of land, including well-located fish and frog ponds on the ono hand and ordinary farming on tlie other. One of the pioneers in water-farm¬ ing in Indiana is Mr. Joseph Manlovo of Milton. Seven years ago he bought a small piece of low land lying be¬ tween the White Water Canal and White Water River, lie determined to flood the lowland and to add to his possessions tlie adjoining high land for park purposes, llis place now includes fourteen acres of water and twenty- one of land. Ilis business is largely with thc water and only incidentally with thc dry la d. Ilis first purpose was to establish a carp pond, from which the fish market might ho sup¬ plied. This was accomplished in two years witli comparative case. Now lie has practically an unlimited quantity of this variety of fish. How¬ ever, tlie public t..stc also calls for bass, and Manlove determined to add tins variety to his supply. Ilia lake is now stocked witli a vast supply of black bass. They have grown finely, and next year bass-fishing will bo “put on thc market.” Bass promise so much better than carp that “Farm¬ er” Manlove uses his young carp as food for his bass. Still another “department” has been added to thc “farm” this season— frogs. Four acres of shallow wateri well grown in flags, were set apart as a breeding place for frogs. They breed and grow rapidly. Four thou¬ sand tadpoles were put in this breed¬ ing pen carU’ in the spring. Many of them ore now of a marketable size. Next' season they will be giaut6—big ten-inch long “cultivated” bull frogs, worth $2.50 and S3 a dozen—not tlie little marsh frog, but tlie big fellows with Herr Fischer voices. In catching them for market a light at night is used. They stare at the l'ght, and can be caught and bandied with enso in its glare. In catching large quantities of carp the lake is drained off. In winter the marketable fish arc kept in small ponds. It is interesting to observe thc water farmer at Ids work. Ho can use a horse for side purposes, but lie needs neither plough, planter nor reaper. Suppose lie lias gone out to feed. He lias witli him middlings or some other grain. Ha goes to tho bleeding pond, sounds a gong or blows a whistle and thousands of frogs come hopping from their shelter. They eat tlie food ravenously and become so tame that thc farmer handles tlioin as a woman does her pet chickens. Tlie same food is just tlie thing for old and young carp. “Fish and frogs lake to grain and grain products,” said Mr. Manlove, “like a boy takes to apple- dumpling. Part of the season it is not necessary to feed my stock at nil. Tho water-grass seeds make the finest of food for the fish, and at this time of the year I rarely prepare a fish for thc table that I do not find him filled with grass seeds.—[Indianapolis News. Derivation of Picnic. Almost any bov or girl can tell you What a picnic is like, but I wonder how many know why it is so called, or that the custom is said to date only from 1802, not u hundred years ago. Then, as now, when such an enter¬ tainment was being arranged for, it was customa-y that tlioso who intend¬ ed to be present should supply the eat¬ ables and drinkables. Originally tho plan was to draw up a list of what was necessary, which is an excellent one to follow, for often, when there has been no previous agreement, it is discovered, when too late, that there is too much of one kind of food and not enough of an¬ other. A The list was passed round, ami each person picked out thc article of food or drink he or she was willing to fur¬ nish, and the name of thc article was then nicked oft' thc list. So it was from these two words, "picked” and "nicked,” that this form of out-of- door entertainment first became known as a "pick and nick,” and then as a "picnic,” the old-fashioned name for thc basket parties of today.— [Har¬ per’s Young People. An Extra Indncement. He (on the promenade)—“I am 'feAvfnily thirsty, but I know from ex- perience that soda water does not qucnoli’ thirst.” She—"No, it doe3 not.

SOFT BUTTER- Cows diffor in tlie quality of tho but¬ ter they yield; that of some cows is harder than that of others, but thc food ha* a considerable influence on the butler. Cottonseed meal makes tin butter harder, while onls and bran make it soft. Two pounds per day of cottonseed meal, but not more, will probably improve tlie quality of the butter. If more is given it tuny in¬ jure tho cow and cause an ultack of garget.— [New York Times. BEST TIME TO ItUF.AK A COLT. The best time to break a colt to the baiter is while it is following the iluin. It is very easy to leach a colt to lead while it is only a few weeks old, and it will never forget it. I>o not ueglcct this little job until the colt is six months old or more, for it will be much harder to handle and there will lie more danger of tho colt straining itself, also of acquiring thc bad habit of halter-pulling.— [National Horse Breeder. HHYINti Flturr. a meeting of California horti¬ culturists, whore thc subject of drying fruits was discussed, the members generally expressed themselves ns against much doctoring of (lie fruit, though a judicious uso of sulphur was considered beneficial and an aid to thc sale of the product. In bleaching the plan is to put the fruit over tlie fumes of the sulphur directly af cr cutting, to allow tlie air no time to blacken it, and leave it in the sniphur from twenty to thirty minutes. If a man expects to make a success of drying fruits he must visit thc localities from which the article lias been successfully marketed and si tidy the systems em¬ ployed, said one member, All the speakers advocated the selection of fair fruit for drying and careful grad¬ ing and attractive packing.—[Times Democrat. HOT-WEATHER 8IIEDS FOU CATTLE. The stifle ring and loss of life among animals necessarily employed on the streets during the heated term sug¬ gests the thought that more than the usual care should bo taken for tho protection o£ catllo in such periods on the farm, in wooded pastures or in fields most commonly devoted to the purpose sufficient shade will be found. But it is often desirable to turn cattle into grain fields after tho harvest is over and where there arc few or no shade trees. To provide for such cases it would seem a good plan for fanners thus situated to put up one or more open sheds on the stubble-fields they want, to pasture as soon as the harvest¬ ing is over. The material may be of (lie roughest and cheapest character and can be taken down and stored away lo be used where wanted the next season. One advantage attached to an artificial shade for this purpose lies in tlie fact that it can be located where it will be nearest to water and most convenient otherwise.—New York World. SCAB IN POTATOES. • There are different opinions about the cause of the scab which injures potatoes, but no one believes it is due to any fungus, anil tho majority of experts think it is duo to injury by some insect or worm. The wire worms are blamed for it; we think justly, but whatever is tlie cause of it, a remedy exists in (lie use of artificial fertilizers instead of stable manure, This discovery was made ten years ago by thc writer during a scries of tests and experiments to find tlie cause and a remedy for (lie injury. In every ease the potatoes that were manured were scabbed, and in every case where tlie artificial fertilizers were used they were clean and free from scab, and in every case there were wire among the scabbed potatoes and none in the fertilized ground. The natural and reasonable supposition is that the fertilizers drove tho wire worms away. — [New York Times. CULTIVATING AFTER A liAtX. After a smart shower, just enough to moisten tlie soil for a half inch or an ’.nch in depth, is just the time to cultivate corn. Tho dry soil beneath will turn up to the surface after the cultivator and the soil may look than before. Do not be disturbed by this. It is li. t the looks, but the efit of the corn you are seeking. Tho moisture turned under is not lost, preserved from evaporation, by being placed where it is not visible, More- over, it is just where it is most needed to help thc corn. Two or three inches below the surface it will bring a mat of corn roots to suck it up. Besides, the moisture of the soil will rise and thc following morning, after tho cultivation the surface will be quite damp. This will be partly owing to dew condensed from the air by contact with thc colder soil. There is an admirable adaptation of the corn plant in providing its roots with nec¬ essary moisture. Its leaves bend over and every particle of rainfall ou them is dropped into the middle of the row one or oue and a half feet from the stalks. This is just where moisture is most needed. Nature makes no mis- Lukes. it is quiie common for farm, ers to put a little manure in tho hill corn seed when they plant it. This is merely to give the voiiug plants a start. After a few weeks tho bulk cf thc roots are formed on tho outer extremity of the leaves and continue to be formed until the leaves lap over hot ween the rows. — f»ew York Herald. TIIK REVOLUTION IN AGRICULTURE. One satisfactory explanation why some fanners succeed while others do not is iliat in tlie progress of agricul¬ ture much more skill is required now in tlie various farm operations than heretofore. Farm culture is now a skilled art, whcrcus formerly it was very much of n perfunctory business of gathering crops yielded by the nat¬ ural fertility of the soil through tlie simplest manual labor. Seed was scattered in thc roughly-prepared soil and tlie products were cut by hand wiili implements of thc simplest kind, and were used mostly for home con¬ sumption, thc surplus being traded away at country stores for domestic supplies and clothing and a very little cash to pay taxes and tlie small ex¬ penditures that were necessary. Now this is all changed. Farming is conducted on scientific principles, the soil is fertilized with grcit skill; it is cultivated in accordance with natural laws, to bo learned and under¬ stood through careful study; crops arc sown, planted and gathered by ma¬ chinery; steam engines are in common use, and products arc disposed of on commercial principles. The farmer must lie something of a chemist, me¬ chanic and merchant; his w.rk must be done with great manual skill and scientific aptitude, and tlie utmost economy must be exercised in every part of tffe business. The ordinary mechanics and business men have looked down upon farmers as far below them in the social and in¬ dustrial scale, but now, when they try their hands at farming, they discover their great inferiority in every point, and make far more failures in their adopted occupation than the farmers they have been used to despise, until ihey have learned their new trade through some years of apprenticeship and adaptation of their previous know¬ ledge to their new business.—[New York Times. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. It doesn’t pay to keep unruly cattle. Shrubs and flowers beautify home. When you see chicks droop, look for lice. Tlie White Plymouth Rocks are hav¬ ing a steady boom. Poultry should bo sent to market in a fat and attractive style. A turkey gobbler is in the prime of life at three years of age. Farmers should at least keep enough fowls to pay the grocery bill. Thc Pekin duck was first introduced from China to this country in 1873. Turkey liens after three years old arc unprofitable. A gobbler is useful at live years. In nine cases out of ten failures are caused by the man—not the hen, market, or climate. Keep your poultry house white¬ washed, clean and dry, sprinkle dry sand on the floor and saturate roosts with kerosene. "Shoemakers’ children wear un- patclied shoes, and tailors’ boys ragged coats. The farmer’s wife carries all the eggs to market and spares too few for her own use.” Sunflower seed, which can bo easily grown in profusion around our fences and walls without any trouble save tho covering of tho seed in spring, is an admirable alterative, and fowls arc extremely fond of them. Chicks intended for breeding stock should not bo pushed too fast or over¬ fed; a steady, even development is preferable, and remember the chick is made of what it eats; no matter how fine blooded slock they may be from, improper care will make them in a few generations no bettor than the dunghill. due of tlie Wonderful Memories. Alin Rump, said to be the oldest colored woman in Delaware County, died Sunday night. Site was born in 1802 and for several years past has been employed as janitress at the Post Office in Chester, Penn. Her mind was clear up to the time of her death, and she always delighted in relating incidents of tho long ago, especially of her meeting General Lafayette on his last visit to Chester. An amusing story is told of her wonderful memory. During the bicentennial celebration in this c’.ty in October, 1882, a representa¬ tion of tho landing of William Pena was given. Justice John J. Hare of South Chester took tho character of l’enn, and as ho stopped from the boat to the shore, accompanied by his re¬ tinue, Aunty Rump clapped her hands and exclaimed: "Dat's it.
