A "Water Farm.
Icdianarolii XewH.
It has not been many years since
•water fanning was added to the
possibilities of “agriculture” in In
diana. It began as a diversion. It
has become a business. Enough
time has elapsed to demonstrate
that water forming may be made
practicable and profitable—at least
as profitable as some other rural
occupation, and more enticing than
the ordinary life of an agricultur
ist. As much money can be made
off an acre of water as off an acre
of land, including well-located fish
and frog ponds on the one hand
and ordinary forming on the oth
er.
One of the - pioneers in water
forming in Indiana is Mr. Joseph
Manlove of Milton. Seven years
ago he bought a small piece of low
land lying between the White Wa
ter Canal and the White Water
Biver. # He determined to flood
the lowland and to add. to his pos
sessions the adjoining high land
for park purposes. His place now
includes fourteen acres of water
and twenty-one of land. His bus
iness is largely with the Water and
only incidentally with the dry land.
His first purpose was to establish
a carp pond, from which the fish
market might be supplied. This
was accomplished in two years
with comparative ease.
Now he has practically an un
limited- quantity of this variety of
fish. However, the public taste
also calls for bass, and Manlove
determined to add this variety to
his supply. His lake is now stock
ed with a vast supply of black
bass. They have grown finely, and
Georgia’s Prosperity.
Savannah tews. . • ....
Georgia is getting rich at a 'rate
that is not equaled by that of any
other state in the south, and not,
perhaps, bj any other state in the
union. Her farmers are in a pros
perous condition, mines are being
developed, railroads are being
bnilt, and towns are growing rap- * s s ' s ^ ee *’ ^ on S-
idly in wealth and population. The
increase in her taxable wealth last
year was. "nearly $33,000,000, and
the assessed value of property, in
cluding railroads, was $415,000,-
000. It is not a matter of wonder,
therefore, that the bonds of the
state are far above ■ ar^ and"are ea
gerly sought after by those who
are looking for safe investments.
And it must not be forgotten
th it the tax returns do not show
the actual wealth of the state. The
assessors do not reach nil of the
taxable property, and much of
that which they do reach is not as
sessed at half its real value.
The farmers of. this state are in
a much better financial condition
than they have been at any pre
vious time since the war. A large
percentage of them are out of debt,
and a still larger pei centage are
rapidly nearing that condition in
which they are not worried by in
terest money or store debts. With
prosperous farmers the state can
not help being prosperous.
And the fact should be kept in
mind that a great deal of railroad
building is being done in the state.
Savannah alone expects to be the
termiabus of three new railroads
within the next eighteen months.
These roads will open new lands
and develop new sources pf weath
next year bass-fishing will be “putlGeorgians have no reason to feel
on the market.” Bass promise so despondent abont their state. On
much better than carp that “Farm
er” Manlove uses his young carp
as food for his bass.
Still another “department” has
been added to the “farm” this sea
son-frogs. Four acres cf shallow
water, 1 well grown in flags, were set
apart as a breeding place for frogs.
They bred and grew rapidly. Four
tbonsaud tadpoles were put in this
spring. Many of them are now of
s marketabla size.
Next season they will be giants
—big ten-iueh long “cultivated”
bull frogs, worth $2.50 and $3 a
dozen—not the little marsh frog,"
but the big fellows With Herr
Fischer voices. In catching them
for market a light at night is.used.
They stare at the light, and can" be
caught and hahdled with ease in
its glare. In catching large quan
tities of carp the lake is drained
off. In winter the marketable fish
are kept in small ponds.
It is interesting to observe the
water farmer at his work. He can
use a horse for side purposes, bnt
he needs neither plough, planter
nor reaper. Suppose he- has gone
out to feed. He has . with him
middlings or some other grain
He goes to the. breeding pond,
sounds a gong or blows a whistle
and thousands of frogs come hop
ping from their shelter. -They eat
the food ravenously and become so
tame that the farmer handles them
ns a woman does .her pet chickens-.

said Mr. Manlove, “like a

s season it is not neces
sary to feed my stock at all. The
water-grass seeds make the finest
of food for the fish, and at this
timejof the year I rarely prepare a
fish for the table that I do not find

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
111., makes the statement that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family pliysioinn, but grew
worse. He told her she was a
hopeless victim of consumption
and that no medicine conld cure
her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself bene
fited from the first dose. She con
tinued its use and after faking ten
bottles, found herself sound and
well, now does her own housework
and is as well as she ever was.

had in vain sought relief of the
best local medical talent, also of
some of the most noted specialists
in New York, and as a last resort
spent some months in Paris,

only temporary relief. ~ After all
this treatment he was finally cured,
