Colonel M.

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.

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.

This shows the im perative necessity of keeping these pets out of the ponds.

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 shcols trained tho position.???Pruirio Farmer.

Ii you want something that will wear for time and ages, get English solo loatbcr if you can. Nowadays hides are tanned in Ur: much ot a hurry, the process being helped on by chemi cals and other things that roc the material. Rubbers have been wonderfully improved. They used to be cumbersome and hoary. Thtre is a kind weighing about four ounces to the pair. What is called or sold ns French kid is made in the United States; that is, ninety-one oao hundredths of it. The genuine article is scarce ai d high. One New York firm has a monopo ly on it. No leather will keep out snow water. A pt< partition ot glue, rubber, plaster of parif and turnpike cement will do it, but after it drit s } ou will have to blast your way down to the leather to put on a polish. The Cardiif giant wore this kind. Bull leather and ox hide is lasting, but it's too thick. Ilorso hide, a groat deal of which is used now, is tbinnor, bos greater elasticity, a finer grain, nnd is far more enduring. In Fi ance hundreds of these animals are slaugh tered annually for the shoo trade. A neat thing that's going to save lots of crldr???a rubber and waterproof legging In combination, to go over tho shoe and stocking. Buttoning as it does, it is easily and quickly put on and oil*. It is an efiectusl offset to tho dangers of the cold, wet skirts hitting against the ankles. Siookstiox ox???

IJtill boxing tbo trundks with two biurds nailed together lengthwiso by thoir edges and placed on tho west aud south ssdes, or plant ing on the north side of fences or buildiugs aro sufficient protection. Low heads also help ti 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 tion ol blight. Is it not well worth trying? Form Notes. Tbo good feeder of stock never gorges thorn, lor drib he give more than will be oaten witu u itiwk ??H is noi whokia tmitm, hut -what is diet stcu that furnishes tho profit. 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 will not produce an equal effect. Throwing salt on manure piles is an excel lent plan at any season cf the year. In sum mer it attracts moisture and prevents burning of she manure. In winter it prevents severe freezing and thus causes the manure to heat n ore r* adily. But the salt will probably dis- M.Ivetome of tbe fertilitp of tbe manure, which should be spread os tbe grouo 1 as ns possible so that the plant food may Uab- f orbed in the toil. JOHN LEE???S CRIME.

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. id tho enraged fishermon, who eagerly join- 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 lor a timo ond hod secured kindly recognition in bis enpneity of volet, his ardor PETS. Monkeys, Do; s. uuUttmi Minis of High Do.

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.
