Fish FmiiiMi.-???There is an increasing In
terest in fish culture in almost ever/ country
in the world, in considering the subjeet the
St. James???s GaexUc, ot London, asks i Can
fish ponds again be made a valuable property
and a rofitabfe uwetment, as they certaily
were three or four cruturiesagoT The answer
depends upon u imiintud?? oi considerations,
and mav be entirely different in a hundred
different place*. First oi all, no doubt, the
country must be suitable, or it will bo absurd
to make the attemptt that is to say, it must
be easy either to liud or to construct arecepts*
cla for the wau r ; ??ud secondly, the water
must bo forthc< imng. We will assume that
the essential conditions are present, and go on
to consider whether even under these favor
able circumstances !i*h ponds can be mado to
pay. Most pe< pl* in England will doubt or
deny it. But, on the other hand, there is the
fact that in Germany and in parts of France
and Italy fish ponds are still kept up, aud ap
patently with tm-cn. Moreover, thoro i>
every reason to bcli??ve that in the old times,
when every Ei glisU monastery had ita fish
pond and most ??? ouutry gentlemen looked
upon tho lake in their grounds as a source of
tome pleasure ??>ud profit, the fish cultivated
were not always of . the sorts best suited for
etch district, fctaverfel excellent varieties had
sot then been r.VM. introduced into England.
Others were n??>t narily obtainable, or there
were doubts about their thriving. It is reason
able to support- that, with our new knowledge
and our afmc*t Unndfesa facilities for intro
ducing fish from nil parts of the world, we
might bit upon k )a*-A of inmates for every
pond in England which would answer better
than the gener slit v of fish reared in tho mid
die oges.
The continrntn! authorities name about ten
torts of fish which do well in ponds os dis
tinguished from rivrtri, and are capable of be-
ing bred with case aud advantage. It is worth
while to notice some of Iheto varieties, which
might bo tried iu various parts of the king
dom. The forettrort placo would by general
consent be assigned to the carp, whether of
the old Engliali s rt or of sorno one of the
aperies more favored in Gormsny. In Polish
Prussia many tons of theao fish aro rearod
every year and cx/wted to Russia nnd
Sweden, besides (he. multitudes consumed at
home. These erratum can. as is well known,
nomc. These erratum can. as is well known,
be tamed and tmined to fecu from tho hand.
They can be fatted by hanging them un in a
net with damp moss round thorn and feed In
them with bread ar.d milk. But tho carp L
not u good table fish where Uio cook is not a
8 ocd one. IsHhc \Vh I ton's recipo for cooking
lis fish is not a bad one, but it is rather cost
ly and trouldi M.ire. The passengers by Rhino
steamers are aware that thcro aro simplor pro
cesses by no means without their merit. It is
in the kitchen, and not in tho pond, that tho
carp acquire* that flavor which makoj some
respectable Fr. i <*h writers call him a better
fish lor tho tabic. thun even tho trout or the
pike. Tho trench ccupies on tho continont a
place of honor tbai has long bcon denied him
here. But tin i> ti c trench must bo indulged
with such a domicile as suits his peculu
tastes. Ho mu??l i.uvo a dirty poud wherein to
dispoit himself; for, liko tho proverbial sow,
ho returns, however well washed, to his wal
lowing in the mire, aud when prevented from
doing ao become* lean and unsavory. Both
these kinds and the feat growing bream will
thrive in stagnant w*te{,and tho col will livo
here as well ae In miming water. But thoro
mustbe some considerable movement in tho
ponds reserved for lliut animal fish tho roach,
whoso virtues hove boon very undeservedly
ignored, except by the humbler class of
anglers; and tlu* 6;nuo thing may bo said of
tli,o dace, and thr.t Active little creature tho
bleak, which had been uniuspcctiugly and
gratefully eaten >>y many a rauu under tho
impression that la- was regaling himself on
sardines. Final! v we bavo tho pike, or the
i ock, as he should apparently bo called when
ic weighs low than livo pounds. This is a
doultiul candidate Air a placo iu tho artificial
fish pond, lor it is obviously possible that ho
may do more mi^ l iof by swallowing other
fish than good by i ruvidiog food for tho tablo.
On the other bund, it it bo truo that ho takos
the slowest and least healthy fish, he may bo
useful, as hawk* arc said to bo ou a grouse-
mcor. by thicni jg of) tho specimens which
would perpetual n sickly breed.
Out of this list it would bo odd if a selection
could not bo made which .would well stock
many a piece of barren land covered with
water. Would tin re boa market for them?
That is the doubt, but if cottagers aud farmers
would only learn how to cook fisb, they would
assuredly bo none the worse for var/iur their
repasts or on ore** tonal dish of fresh-water
fish bought at the moderate price which a
pond owner could uHerd to charge for them. It
seems certain that an acre 6f water of anything
like a reasonable depth, with a fair supply of
natural food in tlx- shape of weeds, dies, and
other insects, will permanently sapporttwonty
couples of adult ti??h or one thousand young
ones. But lbt?? ti??b are not the only source of
profit to be get from tho pond. Watercross
can be grown up -n land near it. The reeds
and rushes growing beside the pond make
good litter, and ** ive other farm purposes;
and the mud ??-f to* pond-bed, which it is
necessary to cb *. out from timo to time,
forms a valuable manure. Then comes tho
not unimportant fact that in many cases the
ponds are a barber in hard weather for divers
water-fowl, which may be added to the ac
count of general profits. Sport must not be
wholly left out of consideration; and it is clear
that the right of*'
be let out under
certain appreciable rent. Experience must
in each ease be the most valuable test; but
there is no reamu why the experiment should
not in some case* at least prove a success. .
Krxt Yia'i Msi.oy??.???Major L. C. Bryan
asys of the melon ??? utlook that there will not
probably be any increase of area, tiace the re-
ault oi last year???* crop# was not such as to en
courage new v< rtures, but it ia reasonable to
suppose that the crop will be commensurate
with the area of latiyear, and therefore larger,
if favorable scasone prevail, since the yield
was shortened nearly ???ono-half, in the melon
crop, by the sbrddio* of young fruit. If this
statement wss true or the last crop uf melons,
with favorable seasons the next should be
doubled without any increase of area, especial
ly with the experience now acquired by
growers, and tbr incentives oHorde.I by put
failures to make tbe most of ibt present fertil
ising and cultivation, while fruit shedding to
a damaging extent from wat weather, may be
avoided by choice of location for melon fields
and proper drainage of the lands. Fiat lands
net properly drained will be sure to have their
crof* damaged by heavy and continued rains,
whatever may be planted on them. Where
melons are to be planted on such lands the
surface drainage, at least, may be largely
aided by raising the beds higher in the center
where the seeds ere planted and sloping them
toward the middles for the water to pass off
down the last furrows. Some plant without
beds of any kind, only checking the rows at
the distance of ten or twelve feet for tbe bills
and ploughing out fiat. Such planting leares
the young vines et tbe mercy of the spring
licotfe, and It fa not surprising that they are
"dromed out??? or shea their fruit soon after.
That lands for melon planting should be bed
ded, whether flood or drought is to follow. The
first six furrows thrown together on the beds
should be higher then tbe last, which can
easily be done by changing ploughs, using a
???mailer te finish. If to be ploughed both ways,
tbe same process can be earriea out and the
beds will retain their elevation in the center,
in manuring, it should be observed that be-
aide the numerous feeders around tbe top roots
of young melon vines, there are long laterals
tunning off and extending for ward tbe mid
dles, showing that manor# is needed else-
where aa well as in the bills. To accommo
date this necessity it should be scattered well
about the hilla and if the rapply will warrant
extend toward tbe middles. Better cultlva
tion will warrant this, especially if ares it
sacrificed to larger yield and superior fruit,
which every farmer should practice for his
own interest. Superior fruit should be the
first object and superior yield the scond, for,
however prolific, all will bo profitless without
good quality. Superior yield is to be obtain
rd by proper drainage, fertilizing and cultiva
tion, and superior quality, uniting the forego
ing, must have attention to tho choice of seeds
aid to tho kind of manure. Good ordinary
compost with cotton seed, or cotton seed meal,
Diets our view of a proper fertiliser, and if
the ground is during tho winter and allowod
to mellow, this fertilizer well used in the
spring will generally ensure a good crop
melons.
Ox Breeds or Fowls.???A correspondent of
the Country Gentleman writing on this sub-
jrct says most well-kept fowls have a certain
amount of comeliness, plumpness and regu
larity of plumage. The pure-bred fowls have
ms??kings that belong lo their breed alone,
which greatly serve to establish their purity.
When two distinct varieties are crossed, dis
crepancy creeps in. A judicious crossing
eometimes mikes a nice bird, but more often
the beauty of both sides Is lost entirely. At
over sized fowl is not handsome or usefuF
There are many who breed largely for market
purpose, either flesh or eggs. For earl
chickens, something that unites size wit!
quick maturity should be selected, This uso-
lul bird is generally obtained from a crossing
of two good breeds, which makes a fowl also
good for egg production.
A mistako Is often made in the introduc
tion of too much Asiatic blood, which element
pcrsesscs too much bono, Is long in comiog to
maturity, and has attest a poor quality of
f)e??b. The Plymouth Rocks are highly es-
Iff m?? d for this purpose, but are at best only
indifferent layers. Broilers, to be profitable,
must be hatched early In tho season, conse
quently some rugged, hardy variety must be
chosen. This may be obtained from crosses,
end tbe hardy, jierslstent Brahmas are always
called into use from the fact that they are al
ways at hand as sitters at the particular time
if year; giving no trouble, and have size and
These virtues are at the expense
. Thcro is perhaps no better fiesh
than of tho game fowl. This breed matures
early, Is extremely hardy when young, and
will scon grow to fair sise. They will be ready
for market fall/ three weeks before any other,
when botched at the same time. But they are
pugnacious, great ccratcbers, and impatient of
any restraint. The farmer and villager dis

early, are good layers, aud the chicks are
easily reared. They aro not widely kuown.
Tbe breed is excellent for crossing or varieties
of similar size. It is a mistake to mix the
blood of large and small breeds. Tho Dork
ings aro large fowls, but the hon lays an egg
of medium size. The smaller Leghorn often
times excols in size of egg, but tho Dorking
fowl will weigh twice ?????? much. The Ilam-
burgs ore excellent for eggs, but Indifferont
table bfeds. Tho American taste prefers size
and yellow skin. With tho consumption of
fresh eggs and poultryon the increase at re-
muucrativoprices, the query will often arise
which breed is best for all purposes. Tho
only way to become satisfied as to which breed
is the best, is through trial.
Mick.???There aro several different qualities
of much, some of which it will pay to dig,
have, and use and somo which will not pay to
handle. Muck is a deposit of decayed vege-
tsble matter, and found on marshy spots, or
along shallow, muddy crooks, where tho vege
tation bos been rank, and whero it has grown
up and died down, year after yenr. in such
places we dug down for over twenty feet and
still did not reach bottom. Tho top soil or do
posit, for a foot or two In depth, should be re-
moved and rejected, when tho more valuable
min k is found. It is, when wet or moist, of a
dark brown or black color, is plastic and can
be cutout, with nspade iu large cubes. It
should bo thrown out into tho wheelbarrows
or earls and hsulrd up high enough to bo out
cf tbe reach of tides or overflow. Tho work
should bodono in the Iota fall or osrly winter,
nibbing tbe pile not more than two foot deep,
so tbe Irost of winter can work on it, and not
only disintegrate it but ameliorate its con
dition. In tbo spring, after it has dried out,
it will be nearly in the condition of dry ashes,
win n it can be mixed or composted with stable
m&Lurc, load for load, making the pile easily
opplied to crops and of almost equal value to
manure alone.
For soils which ore deficient in vegetable
matter, nothing better can be applied, and
many of our worn out southern farms needs
just such fertilizing matter, having been
irgularly and severely cropped for many
}cats, and, iu many cases, with only com
mcrcial fertilizers applied. Where there ari
deposits of muck on tho farm, the leisure time,
of both men and horsei, which generally oc
curs on tho farm during the late fall or early
winter con be utilised advantageously. While
living in Maryland, we dug and used two or
three hundred cart loads of muck each year
and always found it to pay.
Muck should not be applied just as it oomes
from tho pit^hut only after it has been frosted
all winter. It can, then, be composted with
stable manure, or applied direct to some crops.
Some of tbo finest crops of potatoes we ever
raised were manured, in the furrow, with
muck alone. They were of large and uniform
size, a heavy cron, and tbe tubers were smooth
skinned and free from warty oxcrescences. It
can also be applied liberally to corn in the
bill with advantages, and it is especially valu
able on heavy or clay soils.
Sasnixo Taxi firaxa.???A writer from the
Few York Tribune says one of the main causes
of failure of new transplanted tract ia the dry
ness of tbe stem. This begins soon as tbe roots
s re severed by digging in the nursery; it is
continued by the exposure of both roots and
stem to dry air while on tbe way and until
tbe n-ots are covered with soil again, aud it
continues, after that, from exposure of the
stem to hot suns and drying winds, while tho
roots, wounded and often act in looae, nncora-
parted or unmulched soil, can send up but
rcant supplies. Some reduce this danger
much by pruning the top to a mare stick;
ethers wrap the stem with paper or straw;
others wisely encourage leaves all tbe way up
from tbe bottom the first season as a moans of
???belter. Mr. Kdson Gaylord, an experienced
orebardhts, strongly advises leaning the
young tree toward the one o???clock tun. Pro
fessor Budd recommends the same practice,
and says ha found it carried out so fully in
Russia that cherry trees, which are among
tbe greatest sufferers from trunk exposure,
were generally inclined as much as forty-five
degrees, besides being grown as low bushes.
Another writer for the same paper says:
1 have bad a great deal of trouble with
young trees being killed on the south side,
particularly those set out in tbe fall. My
preventive is to set a strong cedar post, tight
feet long In tbe bottom or the hole before
planting the tree; then place the tree against
tbe north side of tbe stake and tie. The stake
lasts until the tree is well matured, and keeps
Proi its cr Fsexiyc.???After a good deal of
figuring and footing op, the agricultural editor
??*t tbe Few York Timas has managed to settle
himself in tbe conclusion that 20 per cent is a
small return for money invested In a term and
tterk; $200 for $1,000 or *2,000 for $19,009 is a
vary cuninon income from a well conductel
Win, and there are abundant opportunities
for doing better than that. Many a farmer
his gone west and hss bought land there
which has paid him 100 per cent for several
years. Hop-growing, fruit-growing, poultry-
men, her-keener*, and even dairymen, some
times make 100 per cent profit, and rarely Ism
than 25 or :tO per cent. Let a farmer tell hie
???arm for 110,000 and put in In a 20 per cent
min#, and get $2,000 a veer income. He rente
n bouse, buys bit provisions and foel, a him a
horse or carriage when he wants to go oat,
and at the end of the year he will find his in
come quite insufficient to keep him in the

lime tho mine is being worked out, and some
day he ia told ???the bottom hoe fell out of it,???
aud he finds all his money has fallen out with
the bottom of hia mine, No certain, sure and
permanent reduction can be expected to pay
more than 5 per cent nowadays, and above oil
that has a proportionate clement of risk u
But what risk is there about a farm tl

Farm Motes.
When using the wagon to take a load to the
field, throw in a shovel and bring backs load
of 1 mm from around stnmpa and logs, woods
dirt, and throw it into tho compost Heap. It
will pay.
Varnish for scrat'hes in horses is raceom

Few farmers think so far as to put a prop
under the tongue or thills of f<rm carts while
loading, or at other times when not in motion,
and yet thoughlfuless in this matter would
save.much suffering to animals.
It is claimed that bssswood is tho best iura
ber fir water pipes* it keeps constantly sat
urated, and in this condition any wood is very
durable. A tanner, who laid 390 rods of bass
wood logs nine years ago, finds them now as
good as new.

Pumpkins and squashes should be kept iu
an upper room on boards or shelves, atd just
warm enough to prevent them from freezing.
Fever put them in a damp cellar or pile then
iu balk or where the rats can get at them;
better feed them to the hogs or cows at once
than do either of the above.
Sweet potatoes must be well dried, packed
in clean, dry barrels, not so tight as to exclude
tbe air, and then the top may be covered
with dry sawdust (dried by fire) about two or
three inches thick to prevent them from wilt
ing br drying up too much. Never nut them
in salt barrels or cover the tops so tight as to
prevent the evaporation from escaping.
Elf lit Household Hints.
Hang up a pin cushion In tho kitchen.
One keep-clean is worth a dozen make-
cleans.
A potato, with one end cut off, is better than
a rog for scouring the knives. A thin shave
roust be taken ??if each time, to give a moist
surface.
Fingor marks can bo removed from wall pa
per by rubbing them with a crust of bread
llyo or brown bread is best.
If you are troubled with your fiat iron stick
ing, put into your clear starch five or six drops
of carooil; it will not smell of the oil when
the garment is dry.
When packages nro sent home fold up all
good wrapping paper, running a warm iron
over any whirl* aro badly crumpled; lay each
kind in a nilo by itself, cither in box or cup
board, and many steps will bo saved when a
pieco is wanted for wrapping a package.
If you wish to sweoten a floor that has
grown musty, make a strong hot solution ot
chloride of fimo and scrub it into the floor with
a broom, having first mado the floor as clean
ns soapsuds ana a scrubbing brush will mnko
it. Irtho first application does not suffice,
give it another, and porsovero until you aro
successful.
The best roment for monding broken dishes
is white lend. It is better tbau all the adver
tised cements. With a bit of stick sproad tho
paint, which must havo plenty of oil in it,
smoothly on each piece, press them tightly to
gether, and, if necessary, tie them in place
w iping away all paint which oozes out. They
must stand for months, or a year, to harden,
but at tbe end of that time tboy aro as strong
as If they bad never been broken.

could barely get about, and my friends g ive up
all hope. I coughed so Incessantly that I could not

Mnall doses, ss she was very weak. Kite soon be
