Tlie Review of ?? ??????.Mutwu in this Now la*
clbitry???M*,*>!???????? ???r|* I'nurin In Operation*
Sinco my lan report, the interest in the cul
ture of this fish hue increased enormously, not
only in this sued*. ut nearly every state and
territory in the uniou. Colonel M. McDonald,
of the United States fish commission, page 231,
bulletin of the com tn irsion, says: ???Tho carp,
wherever planted uuler favorable conditions,
and receiving reasonable care and attention,
have grown, brm and multiplied rapidly.
Thirty tliousai d di-tiuct bodies of water in
??very section of the United States, have been
occupied with th?? Ifeb. These represent au
segregate area ui 1imi,000 acres of wasto water
which have beei. converted into profitable, al
most spontaneou* t reduction, yielding, at a
moderate estimute 2o,00ii,000 pounds of food
per annum, and ml. ing $1,000,000 annually to
the value of the |#reducts ot the country.???
F.DIBlK QUALITIES Of CABI*.
To those bavn * . nun carp, no proof is neod-
cd of its fair table uu.iiities; but so frequently
inquiries aro pn>|??o..inied, asking what is the
best pend fish, tl.ut it is deemed that a few
paragraphs are appropriate. That tho carp
in tho southern ??i??nea takes on the most rapid
growth of nnv kn..*n pond fish is onceded.
As occasionally an a** verso criticism appeared
in the public pru.i.*, Professor Baird took un
common pain* during last year to settle the
question. Mr. Chnrie* W. .Smiley, in charge
of the bulletin ??>r tno United States lish com
missioner, was* oi'M ii d to send out ccroain in
quiries to those to * horn carp had bceu sent
out by the Unite* State* fish commissioner, of
the hatchings ol 1S71* and 1880. Tho circular
sent out contain* i.fi on questions, covering
the whole He'd nt nrp culture. Ono of these
questions was, ??? I a** you eaten carp???? How
were they cookc??? ni.rf what was the opinion
of their edible qualities???? At the time publi
cation was tnane.fiiiii replies had been received,
coming in from t*?? niy -ihreo states and terri
tories: up to that 11me 350 had not tasted carp,
242 had eaten tn< m The answers wore olassi-
fictl ns follows: m* iterate praise, from fair to
very good, 40*, ut qualified praise, and very
emphatic expr*-*i ii of approval, 95; com
parison with o lirr tteb, very generally com
plimentary, 30; itii-ism as to softness or mud
dy taste, 10; iudillurei.t and uncomplimentary
reports, aside fr* in muddy taste and softness,
10. A few opin a* regards bones, 7; favor
able reports con-Muing hints on the various
wove of cooking ??a????*. 31???Total, 242.
Of these 212 r ports, 38 only contained the
slightest refit ctiet. on carp. Many oi these
criticisms w??r?? ite.m.edly alight, aud nearly
every ono of t!.e-e criticisms can bo explained
away. It is a f*ci well known to fish cultur-
ists that no fish i- tiret-cloas for tablo at or
immediately offer lire spawning time. It may
be conceded tbat the c??*rp is a fair tablo fish:
many of the corre.-.pnuduuts alludoil to abovo
stating their qualiii** equal to shad, trout, or
rock fish. Tbi re *ro several things pertaining
to carp culture ??.??>?? yet well understood# and
prominent among these is the necessity to
completely drain every carp pond. Cheapness
and efficiency ??rt-two important items. Tho
drain pipe should puts out from the bottom ot
the kettle or rrrei ??? vr, so that tho drainage may
be complete. I Imvi* t-xamined or tested many
{ ilans, and have lii..illy decidedly on tho fol-
owing, and shall remove from my own
ponds tbe expen-fe* iron piping, with thoir

The simple apparatus that is recommended
is a wooden box lunnipg crosswiso through

secure to tho bnriz*itt*l portion and it will bo
of great advantage t** give tho wholo a dress

It is desired to en*i**y the pond, removing tho

When the wau-r lu.* is lowered to the uoxt
gate piece, remove it and substitute the
strainer ftr it, u* ii. the first instance, and so
on until the wa??<*r drawn down nearly t>

tho gatca tight. !??? the water aupplr is abun
dant this is of n??. roi.ifipienco, as tho leakage
would not allow the??until fish to nasi out and
still might constitute n part of tho overflow.
But if the water mi,.ply is limited this might
lower tho pond at h rime wbcu you could not
aflord to lose any wntrr.
Overflows???T??. u:wkf these efficient and of
the least possible trouble, the strainers should
be under the tui ?????.???* of the water, This will
entirely prevent cteggiug by the leaves and
trash brought down by the rains. A very
simple plan is to n ake a box with a joint,
having a abort leg and extending when
in position a n* t or so below the
water line, lb** strnlnerbelng attached to
the lower end ??t the abort leg.
Enemies.???Tbe**- me very numerous. Rut
fortunately many ??l them can be readily dis
posed of with tin* *??r.??t gun. Snakes are ex
ceedingly troubummu. Dr. Hessel, superin
tendent of tb??* e-rp ponds at Washington,
states that on th* 20th of August, 1883, since
the first day ot ih- preceding July 000 snake#
were killed, mpsily with the shot gun. lie
states that a medium sised snake will destroy
forty young carp a day. This shows the im
perative necessity of keeping these pets out of
the ponds.

and tho climber, Mrs. Hovej, is about tho

soveral woyt; a good method practicod ???down
ea??i??? is to draw tho branches together. aud
Ur g straw around them, aecurely fastening by
stYtral bands, so that the whule mar look neat
and tidy. Another way with small bushes, is
to bend over the ends, secure them to the
cicund by so<l or forked branches of trees, aud
then cover with either sod rovorsed, which is
excellent for tho bushes, or loose litter, or any
thing at hand that will fill the bill, remember
ing ibat it does not requiae a great mass ot
anything, simply enough to keop tho dry and
i l*rciDg winds off tho bark, which is un
uubtedly tho principal seat of injury. Prun
ing roses is best left until the spring, white tho
grape vine should be pruned as soon ns the
ft eves have dropped in autumn. If loft until
spring beforo pruning, bloeding is so profuse
teat it for a time weakens tho vine, which
docs not happen if pruned in autumu; the
wound searing over during winter, little, if
any, blecdiug occurs in spring. Tho same
protection will do for grapes as given for roses.
The best spring treatment consists in leaving
covered at long as possible, aud not having
them start wjnlein their winter wraps. In the
cate of the roses, pruno when uncovered; this,
with plants two years old, consists in cutting
bi.ck I ho shoots to good sound wood, and pos
sibly in spreading thn branches to counteract
the binding up lor the winter. Tho grape
vines having been already pruned will require
nothing lertnor than to be uncovered, and tho

Nowadays hides are tanned in Ur: much ot a

Rubbers have been wonderfully improved.

No leather will keep out snow water. A

Bull leather and ox hide is lasting, but it's

IJtill boxing tbo trundks with two biurds
nailed together lengthwiso by thoir edges and
placed on tho west aud south ssdes, or plant

protect.
If exposed to tho afternoon sun causes blight
why nmy not whitewashing be, us has been
urged, a great protection? An extensiro
planter in Minnetots, once greatly troubled
with blight, insists that whitewash containing
ten pqr cent of sulphur and ninety per cent of
lime, applied to tho trunks and large limbs in
May, juht beforo bligh time is absolute preven

Stones are a nuisance in cultivated Holds,
but'it is none tbo less a fact that there aro
many Realities near cities and villages whero
they will well pay to haul off to sell for build
ing purposes.
Under tbo pasturing and hay system of feed
ing, lour or fivo acres ore needed to keep a cow
a year. With ensilaged corn fodder aud soil-
ir-g in summer, every aero may be made to
keep its cow, provided tho soil is inado rich
enough.
Tho Essex and small Yorkshires are among
the beat of the small breeds of hoga. With tne
pure bred males of these animals crossed on
sows ot larger breed a better quality of hog*
can be grown than with cither small or largo
breeds alone.
In winter when the soil is saturated with
water, winter wheat often docs boat on newly
plowed tod. Tbo soil does not pack so hard
and tbe sod allows more drainage, so that tho
water does not rot aud destroy the roots of tho
ycung plants. ~
As freezing weather begins care should bo
taken tbst tho potatoes in pits aro not frozen.
A zecond thick costing of straw with a very
httlo earth over it makes an efficient protec
tion. II tbo ground Is frozen too deeply to uso
earth, static manure will take its place.
Rye is a crop which can be successfully
crown by sowing later and on poorer soil than
Is required for wncst. Any time beforo tbe
ground freezes up will answer, and there will
to a growth well worth the cost ol tho seed to
plow under as green manure.
A cow giving milk should never be fat.
Either the milk is deficient in quantity or
quality, often both. The best cows are never
ite looking animals, except to tho eyo of an
Xpert, who can sco behind tho rough and
bony framo evidences ol good milking quali
ty s.
Red wheats will succeed on poorer soil than
w bite and will also endure the winter better on
low land. The old fashioned Mediterranean
wheat was especially adapted to low, moist
soils, and so far as we has tested them all tbo
r??d varieties excel in this quality of hardness.
Beets or mankol wurtzel are preferable to
turnips for milcn cows, as the latter roots are
apt to flavor tbe milk objectionably. We can,
however, avoid Ibis difficulty to some extent
by feeding the roots directly after milking.
The odor passes off before the cows are milk
ed rgain.
The Arab* are said to feed horses from the
ground in order to maintain, tho curve in tho
neck. Without doubt Arabian horsos are
among ibe best in tbe world, and if feeding on
or nenr tbe ground la one reason of their su
periority, it Is an argument for low manger#
that should not be overlooked.
It land is naturally wet and has not been
drained, most farmers think it exactly right
for meadow. It will undoubtedly pay better
mow than to cultivate in ordinary seasons, as
the meadow requires less labor. But the fact
rc mains that good grass will not long grow on
toil always saturated with stagnant water.
More baa been said about Texas fever of late
because it is only recently that cattle from the
gull states have been driven north, exposing
<ur stock to the infection. In truth, this
disease has teen known more than a century,
and it is probably ono reasop why improve
ment of tne southern stock has made such slow
progress.
A warm soil is quite as important as fertility
in growing a good corn crop. One of the isi*
vsntegesof stable manure and greensward
plowed under lies in the fact that their fermen
tation adds to the warmth of tbe soil. The
same ??mount of plant food furnished iu
mineral manures which do not supply beat

Throwing salt on manure piles is an excel

of she manure. In winter it prevents severe
freezing and thus causes the manure to heat

in a Horrible Trac.dy, Etc.
London, November 20,???Torquay, tho fash-
ionablo winter watering plaee on tbo south
coast of Eugland, is at present stirred by a
sensation of a most ghastly character. Nearly
adjoining Torquay is tbe smart fishing villago
of Babbicombe. Conspicuous for maiy years
among the rosidonts of Babbioombo has been
Miss Key, an aristocratic, weal by and hand
some unmarried woman, ot middlo ago. Tho
lady resided in a palatini villa aud was regarded
by tho families of the fishermen as an angol,
because of her charities, and her accomplish-
menta ond entertainments were tho envy o!
most of tho fashionablo visitors to Torquay.
Some time ??go Miss Key took into her person
al service at a valet a young man named John
Lee. Ho had come down from London, and
boro such strong testimonials as to worth and
character from personal friends of tho Koy
family that ho found little difficulty in enter
ing tho scrvico of the lady. 1 n fact the han 1-
eomo youth deported hitusolf with such tact
and intelligence that ho soon proved an inval
uable protector to his patron from the intolor-
crnble impertinence of fortune hunters. His
duties finally resolved tbomselvos into those of
an escort, and ho waited upon his patron
wherever sho went. This, of course, started
much gossip on tho part of tho envious and
thwarted, and this gossip gradually bocaino
quite exaggerated.
A couple of nights since the poople of Bab-
bicumbe wero startled by tno discovery of
flames issuing from tbo mansion in which
Miss Key resided. The fire had ovidontly
been burning for somo time, as tho fiamos
broko simultaneously through windows in the
diflerent walls. Tho alarm was spread quick
ly end effectively. Tho villagers went to tho
scene in n body, and tho coast guard
end local polico force soon got control
of tbo firo from without. Thoy found that tho
mansion find been securely closed and that
tho windows and doors had all boon securely
fshtened. An entrance was forced and tho firo
< xtinguisbed. Miss Koy was found lying upon
the parlor floor dead. Sho was nude and tho
body was partly charred. An investigation
showed that her throat hal boon
cut and her skull fractured.
There wero evidences that' tho lady
had been dragged down stairs before sho was
kilted, and that preceding all this and alter a
terrible struggle in her private apartments sho
bad been outraged. All the jewelry and porta
ble valuables belong to tho lady wero miss
ing and not a shilling of money was left in the
boueo. Tbo murder was at ouoo set down to
jealousy and the robbery as a ruso to misdirect
plcion.

I in tho ebaso for tho criminals. Alter an
all night search John Leo was found conceal
cd in a stable not iarfrom the scene of tho mur
der. A largo sum of money and much of tho
missing jewelry wero found upon him. Ho was
at onco arrested and charged with tho crimo.
Ho confessed his guilt and fully told tho story.
He admitted that ho was an ex-convict^ and
bad obtained omploymeut in the service of
Mits Key by means of forged tetters. Ho
said he Dad fallen in lovo with tho lady, and,
having no means to securo an acquaintance
with her, resorted to this deceit for tho pur
pose. After ho had* been in her employ

Monkeys, Do; s. uuUttmi Minis of High Do.
Srco mnl Corresponding Price.
???Monkeys aro in greater demand at pots
ban most people would suppose possible ???
said Mr. Alfred Wilkins of 1,235 Broadway.
Ladies favor thorn greatly, chiefly on ac
count of their amusing antic* and gest ires.
Those two in tlio window keep a crowd in
front of.the store all day. Look at them now.???
A monkey, who was eating nothing, put out
his hand in a friendly manner to his cage
companion, who was holding a nut in bis
palm. The animal so approached responded
to tho overture in tho readiest manner, bat
first, ns a precautionary meas
ure, transferred tho nut to his mouth.
This was not exactly what tho monkey who
made tho advance wanted, and he sulkily
withdrow his extended hand, white hts selfish
campnnion looked knowingly nt tho cro.vd
outside and resumed his meal.
???Thero aro about four kinds of monkoys
that are salable aa pets,??? contiued tho dealer,
???and all aro small. Tho ring-tail is so called,
not because of tho rings around its tail, bu
because it swings to tho branohes of tho trees,
ond helps itsclt to climb with that append igo.
All other monkeys climb with thoir han is
only. The pig-tail monkey is aim it
the saino size as tho ring-tail,
and it Is easy to sco how ho gets
bis name. His tail is stubby and short, like
that of a pig. IIo is not considered a hand-
some monkey, but ho is very popular. Tho
Java monkey is somowhat liko tho riug-tail.
Ho hot a long tail too, but It looms to bo moro
fer ornament than uso. Tho ring tail comas
from Africa, the pig tail from the IsthuiiK of
Panama, and the Java, of course, from the
bland whose narao ho bears. All of theso
monkeys are worth from $20 to $30 each, ac
cording to condition nnd size, the smallest
ranking first. There is a larger demand fer
them, than for auy other kind. Tho little
Marmozotte, a native of Brazil, is the most
diminutive of knowu monkeys, in fact, ho is
too email to bo very healthy, and in our harsh
climato ho easily falls into consumption
and dies. A fair-sized ono is smaller than a
newly-born klttcmonly a few inchos in length,
excluding tho little tail, which is the longest
part of him. Thoy hove littlo wizoned fecoi,
nnd hardly look liko monkoys ot all. Ladies
invariably fancy them at first, but a closer
examination shows how dollcnto thoy aro, as
they lio huddled up togethor and shiver at
overy draught. Thoy aro by no means as
high-priced os tho other popular kinds of
monkeys, and can bo readily purchased fer
$10 coch. Placed in company with a larger
monkey they seem to thnvo bolter. Tno
bigger ono takes great caro of the
smitUer ono, shielding him as far as
practicable, from tbo cold, and coaso-
It????ly exerting himself to keop him cloan.
Bcmetinios, indeed, ho kills hitn with kind
ness.
???There ore a great many people who have a
cbionic prejudice against monkoys. It is
hind to say why, for monkoys aro amusing,
No trace of John Leo could bo found, and it oilectionsto and very intelligent. Dog*, cer-

It i?? a mistake to supposo that the black and

land'* aid was called in, and ???bunny??? made a
prisoner. He was brought to town where
quite a number of our citizens had the pleas
ure of seeing him. The boys fed him on nuts,
which be ate from tbsir bands, without tbo
least timidity.
Another Klectrtc Girl.
From tbe New York Bun.
An electric girl of peculiarly marked magnetic
power b described In the Pfogre* Medical: If r
Ctiger* attract all sorts of Iff bt bodies, such a?? rib
l>cns and fragments of paper, and slight friction
applied to the balr will cauge tbe filameat* to se
parate In a remarkable manner. A pass of her
hand will cause a napkin to adhere strongly to a
pbre of furniture, and any one who attempts to
remove tbe cloth will receive a balMucb spark

f toy dogs.
Tltepug,'or f ljy Lull* ns'"???ho i* eo notionm
cailid. is also greatly prised, and go??d ones,
weighing from eight to ten pounds, may
bring considerably over $103. Hup# can b*
bought for a third of tbat price. Tbo peculi
arity of tbe pug is that ho Is littlo moro than a
diminutive bulldo/. He Las the same wrink
led, unprepossessing countenance, and looks,
like the stock from which ho sprang, an though
ho thirsted for blood. His anpearanoo, fortu
nately, belies him, as tho bulldog** usually
does, fer tho pug Is good-natured aud affoetion-
alo enough, ana makes an admirablo aud ap
preciative pet. Ilia days are too olton short
ened by overfeeding and too little oxereise;
but be seems to prefer that it should bevao.
???The rarest and most expensive of all pot,
dogs is tbo King Charles spaniel. A lady, who
boa secured a really good ono, may go home
and congratulate herself, for sbo owns a treas-
ui c. Bhe had better keep a watchful ayo upon
h m, too, for he is easily stolen and as emily
nispoM d ol. These dogs can hardly be said to
bo in the market. They are very rare and
with their long, flue, silky hair, large pondaut'
cure, anil meek, Intelligent eyes, they aro ex
ceedingly besuliful- Thoy aro botter known
in England than in this country, but then*, too,
their price is very high. It is very hord, in
deed. to get the poorest kind of a King Charles
for $100. aud for a good ono $200 is not con
sidered by any means an unreasonable prfeo to
ask. 0 he King Charles is rather delicate, and
iaoften injured end even killed by overfeeding.
Both among tbo terriers and the King Charles
breed of dogs the male js valued a littlo higher
than the female, but the difforonco in price Is
very slight. ???
???C*ta are not thought quite ao highly of-aa
dogs in the pet classification, but tne rare
breeds ore quite popular. Tho Angora, or
Tertian, rank# highest. It is n beautiful ani
mal, usually, when at Its best, quite white.
Its hair is long and very thick. It is a pretty
p<:t, hut it coats from $30 to $80. Kittens are
???old for from $20 to $25 each. The Maltese Is
well known. Tbe f ure breed have six toes ou
each foot, aud bring from $10 to $15 each.
Kittens can be bought for about $5 each.
???The Indian squirrel, with its gray back
and while breast, is becoming better known
than formerly, but ft is ???till rare. It sells for
about $10, whereas $2.50 is a fair priee for a
common gray squirrel from Long Island or
New Jersev.
???Among the pet birds narrota hava deserv
edly tbe first place, ami tbe double yellow
head Mexican is the smartest, tbe most Intel-
ligi-nt, the longest lived, and the best talker
and singer. One that can talk well, and sing
six or seven different songs, should be
worth $200. The highest price I ever
saw one sold for was $350.
I sold as fine a white talking cockatoo as ev
er was seen to Tatti a year ago for $250.
???American robins usually art appreciated
most highly in a cooked state, but they are
???usceptible of a high degree of education. I
havelone tbat often whistles selections from
???Fra Diavolo.??? I value him at $50. Ordina
rily canaries arc not expensive, though very
popular pels but educated canaries
ortta hign prices. 1 have one
tbst I bavo tanght to clearly
and tastefully whistle aira from two oporas. I
would not sell him fer less tlisn $100.
???A good clear-whistling English blackbird Is
something of a rarity. It is a very handsome
bird aud worth from $10 to $15. A thrush will
briny about $10. A bullfinch owes every-
thing to education, nnd when be can pipe two
airs without making a mistake ho ought to
sell fer $30. IIo Is a patient learner, and
when be dctecUhimself in error l??o does not
immediately correct it. He whistles the
whole niece over again.
Tbrre'a an immense variety of almost
voiceless smell birds that ladies fancy and
take bome vrlib them. Yon know tbero an*
many persone whe likeioaeea pretty bird In

One msanificent singer haa only just boon in-

{ rt. Ha is tbe Mexican canary, and though
is not# is not so loud as that of oar yell iw

even freer. He is a small and verv handsome
bird, withe yellow bead end a black b*ek,
