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-. 1 and young carp. “Fish and i to grain and grain prod said Mr. Manlove, “like a lies to apple dumpling.” 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 him filled with grass seeds. the contrary, they have every rea son to feel proud of her, and" they are.-proud of her. ■ *_ e -* -Chief of Police Crowley, of San Francisco," Cal., who. has been at the bead of the police department for. eighteen years, says the Chi nese there commit more crimes in proportion ‘to their number than liny.other " race, and are the moat difficult of detection.
