It was written in March last, by Mr. L. M. Crane, of Ballston Spa, to Mr. James Thompson, of the same place : PEAR SIR :—As promised, I will endea vor briefly to describe my method of pro pagating bass. In tbe first place, I obtained from Saratoga Lake about seventy-five large bass, first having, a pond of fresh water covering about five or six rods of ground. Into this pond I put the fish for breeding in the month of ittfay. In June I pu l t into the pond three or four bushels of small P• ebbles The bass would take these in , their moutus to a selected spot and make' for each female a bed about one foot in di ameter, on which they deposited their ages or spawn. The 'male fish would then take charge of the "nests," or beds, allow inc, no intruder to approach them, and:care fully guarding them from harm. The first year I had about twenty-five& thirty nests. In about four weeks the eggs would hatch and the male would continue to care for the young fish until they were about two inches long, when (if not removed) they would proceed to devour them. I there fore, with a large, coarse, mesh net, drag the pond, taking out the large fish, leaving the small ones, and putting the large fish in another pond. I prefer small ponds, as the fish are more easily separated ; but if I had large ponds "covering several acres, that I could secure, I should stock them, keep ing my small ponds for breeding. You will notice that what is termed " frog spittle" will not grow in, the ponds where the large bass are, as they feed upon it as it starts from the bottom of the pond; but after removing the large fish you will per ceive it grows very rapidly. On no account attempt to remove it, as the little bass want it, not only for nutriment, but for shade from the sun in the hot days of July and August, is to feed the first year, the little bass want no other nourishment than what is furnished by the " frog spittle," and the most imperceptible insects floating in the water, and the animalculm.• The larg e fish require live food—that is, little men nows, worms, frogs, &c. They will eat liver, but I have never known them to eat beef. The bass become very tame and will take their food from the hand when presented alive. It is only necessary to feed once or twice a week, and that only during the spring and summer months. In October they will refuse to take any food, and as cold weather comes they will disappear into the mud, where they will lie torpidly till the warm weather of the spring. Of course, I do not wish to be understood that feeding them oftener than once or twice a week will do any harm; on the contrary, you cannot feed too much—but they will thrive on short rations. I have one bass I call " Old Jake." He will weigh, I should judge, seven or eight pounds. I have seen him take from the hands of the, boy eight me ,ium-sized frogs, swallowing them whole, and then when a pail full of minnows were thrown in, to fight for his share, which he would devour as greedily'as though he had had nothing to eat for a month. I intend this spring to build another pond about 120 feet long by 50 or 60 wide. have commenced raising trout, and so far, I am inclined to think more favorably of it than bass, but will probably cultivate both. My preference for trout is founded pun the fact that they are a more desir ble fish for the table, and of more rapid •.rowth. They require, however, more care and better water. Water for ponds •hould never be supplied through lead pipes. It is sure to kill the fish. The supply for he ponds should, however, be kept under ontrol; otherwise a rise in the stream rem heavy rains might cause an overflow f the banks of the ponds. The outlet should be sufficiently below the ground to iterent being affected by frost. • I should be happy to show you at any ime my mode, and to give you my expe ience. I am, however, as yet but a be .ioner in the science of fish-breedink.-- tuxal New Yorker. • lESTROY THE WEEDS AND BUSHES, Now is the time to declare and wage a ar of extermination upon weeds, thistles, 'Tiers, bushes and like nuisarice'S in field 'ad highway.

Y.:— " Farmers, with some few exceptions, were Orb gratified when the Legislature of our late enacted the law prohibiting the vari -43 kinds of animals from running at large t he highway, and although it seemed ' T a time to be almost a dead letter, much to the regret, of its advocates, it is now, in most' localities very generally observed, even by those who at first most strenuously opposed it—thus acknowledging its utility. But with all the benefits resulting from the law, it also has some evils attending it, not from any defects of the enactment, although some exist, but from the carelessness and inattention of those owning land adjacent to the highways, who suffer the briers, elders and noxious weeds that were forinerl3r eaten and kept down by animals to remain and ripen their seed, to be scattered by the wind during autumn.and winter upon the sur rounding fields. Nor - is this all. The highways do not have that neat and pleas ing appearance they formerly had when the herbage was consumed by animals. Now, this can be easily remedied if all w de vote a leisure hour during the spr g in removing the stone and other obstructions from the roadside opposite their 'premises, and at least twice during the 'summer cause all weeds, &e., to be cut down. This, With a sufficient quantity of grass-seed sown, will soon convert them into grass, which can be mowed two or three times during the season, serving to bait teams at home or when away to market in town, or 'to be stored away for wintes . use. Let all those in favor of the law act in the matter at once, and thus silence the•final argument of the few that. oppose it, while .at the „same'. time they beautify the street contiguous to their farms and homesteads." SOILING STOCK. Some fanners object to the practice of soiling their dairy stock, in consequence.of the trouble involved in thefoperation. By the pasturing process, the cattle go'to the field and cut their own feed and eat it. When they have enough, they lie down and ruminate till called to the milking yard to render back to their owner payment for their day's keeping. In this way they are said to earn their living while paying at night and morning for the privilege of doing it. Whereas, b the soiling process, they do nothing but throwing the bur deniof labor upon th ner. This is one way of stating the case, but is it gtrictly true in all its relations ? It is undoubtedly easier to drive cows to pasture and bring them thence than to cut food for and carry it to the barn or herd-house for distribution; yet the question really is, not which is easiest, but which pays the best? In the pasturing process there is a great amount of grass which is trodden down, or 'supposed to be so, drying and rotting where it grew, without yielding any perceptible support to the soil from which its nutriment and growth were drawn. The droppings of the stock are scattered here and thee, over a great extent of sur face, exposed to the action of the elements, by which nine-tenths of their fertilizing properties are lost to that from which they were derived. This is what makes poor farms and unthrifty farmers. - By the soiling process, the cattle, if pro perly provided for, receive their food at stated, seasons and in such quantities as circumstance's require. They have shade and shelter as needed; waste little of that which is fed to them, and even that little, composted with the stable and yard drop pings, returns to the land the sustenance which its production drew from it. This process requires labor, care and constant supervision, but this is really no.objection, since all these are amply repaid by increased and constantly increasing productiveness. Those who have an ample range of pasture land, with less stock than it will carry, will probably give the cold shoulder to the soil ing process, but to such as are restricted in this respect and wish to make every foot of land tell to the best advantage, it offers inducements which it would be unwise to disregard. PROTECTING TREES AGAINST WORMS. The bandage system, which we were the first to suggest some fifteen years ago,-and often referred to since, is the only effectual protection we have yet seen against the operation of the worm in fruit trees. We repeat again, that in not a single instarWe have we ever had a worm in our dwarf pear trees where this system was properly followed. It is simply to bandage the bot tom of the tree, with any kind of muslin or cloth, and tie it, letting the bandage be about six inches above ground, and two inches below. It should be applied in February, or as soon as the ground is in a fit condition to go upon. These bandages should be removed at the end of October. As long as this is continued we defy the The bug lays its eggs an inch or two above the ground, early in the spring, that is, as soon as the warm days in March will admit of its coming forth from its winter quarters; the eggs are soon hatched by the sun, being laid on the sun side of the trunk, and the young grub finds its way down to the soft bark beneath the soil, where it gradually works its way in. The bandage prevents' both the laying of the eggi'and the descent of the grub. Let doubters try it. One man will bandage two hundred trees in a day. We have no doubt it will also protect peach trees in the same way. —Germantown Telegraph. SOIL AS MANURE, Land may be manured by land. Where a soil is rich and deep, it may be carted to another field. where wanted, the same as manure, and the first field suffer none—as the under -soil, if very deep, is of no possi ble use away out of reach. We frequently see people remove rich soil to their gar dens. 'The garden is befiefitted. especiallf where a garden is to be made, and the natural soil is poor. We have known people to remove scores and scores of loads from their rich river flats to_their yellow knolls and lean fields without injury to their flats, and with great benefit to the fields where applied. Such manure, it must be understood, is lasting ; and it gives consistency to the. soil._ In a word, this method is only balancing your soil— that iS,rnaking it all good.--Rural World. • THEWS a pond in Roxbury, Oxford county; Ike4:Wltere pickerel were - placed eight years' :ago, and between seyenvand eight tons lit. thia fish were caught tliere during the past winter. THE AMERICAN VIRMATTKRIAN:, gtintifir. SOMETHING ABOUT SUN-STROKES. It is rather a singular fact that sun stroke is more fatal and more frequent in the temperate than in the torrid zone. New York has more cases than Havana or Rio, in proportion to population, and even in Quebec the danger is quite as great, in the few days of intense heat allotted to that region, as in any part of the world. The indications of the thermometer are very imperfect guides in regard to the action of heat upon the animal frame. " The true indication of the force of the solar rays," says Herschel, "would seem to be, not the statistical effect on the thermometer, but their momentary intensity measured by the velocity with which they communicate heat to an absorbent body." It is this " mo mentary intensity" which causes the phe nomenon of sun-stroke, .and which seems to be greater in regions without than with in the tropics. When the head is exposed to the sun's rays in times of their greatest intensity, the heat seems often to cause instant inflamma tory action in the contents of the skull. The sufferer experiences intense headache, - succeeded by vomiting; he then falls -6;eathless, and unless instant assistance be given, turns black in the face and expires. Victims of sun-stroke are most often labor ers, and intoxicating drinks strongly pre dispose to this sudden inflammation of the cranial organs. Any constriction about the neck, from tight cravats or collars, also predisposes to sun-stroke, and generally any depressing agents, mental or physical, lessen the resisting power of the body to this, as to other diseases. Terrestrial radiation of the sun's heat seems to bear an important part in the production of sun-stroke. At sea, and on small islands, such a result is very uncom mon, no matter how intensely the sun's rays beat down; while inland,.and especially in large cities, where stony pavements and long ranges of buildings combine to add their radiant caloric to the direct action of the sun, fatal cases most often occur. One of the best protectives against sun stroke is the sun-umbrella, universally used in our Southern cities, but rarelyseen at the North, where, during our short but fiery summer, they are even more necessary. If, in addition to this, cravats and dress hag are discarded, the hair clipped close, all alcoholic beverages strictly eschewed, animal 'food reduced to a minimum, and iced drinks, water, soda-water, or lemonade, strictly but temperately indulged in, we may confidently continue our out-door avocations without danger. Laboring men who cannot carry sun umbrellas, will find their greatest safety in tetotalism, at least during the heated term, with frequent washing ot the head in cold water while,at work in the sun, and imme diate abandonment of labor on occurrence of dizziness or sickness at the stomach. For one sun-stroke, the most effective plan is removal to shelter, free application of cold water to the head, water to drink if the patient can swallow, and medical aid without delay. In the army it was the practice to dash the whole person with cold water until a revival took place. THE PHENOMENA OF CRYSTALLIZA TION, Looking closer into the organization of matter, we shall find that force not only forme irregular aggregations of molecules, but it works with order and symmetry. Witness the phenomena of crystallization, to appreciate which, we need go no further . than the freezing of water and the forma tion of snow. Professor Tyndall deftly and delicately dissects a ,block of ice, by means of a beam from his electric lamp ; pulling the crystal edifice to pieces by accurately reversing the order of its architecture. Silently and symmetrically the crystallizing force had built the atoms up; silently and symmetrically does the electric beam take them down. Here we have a star,. and there a star ; and as the action continues, the ice appears to resolve itself into stars, each one possessing six rays, each one resembling a beautiful six-petaled flower. By shifting the lens to and fro, new star-flowers are brought into view; and as the action con tinues, the edges of the petal become serrat ed, spreading themselves out like fern leaves. Probably, few are aware of the beauty latent in a block of common ice. Only think, continues our eloquent coun tryman, of lavish Nature operating thus throughout the world ! Every atom of the solid ice which sheets the frozen lakes of the North has been fix.pd according to this law. Nature " lays her beams in music ;" and it is the function of science to purify our organs, so as to enable us to hear the strain. To many persons a block..-of ice may seem of no more interest and beauty than a block of -glass ; but, in reality, it ',hears the same 'relation to glass that an .rears of Handel does to the cries in a mark&-place. The ice is music, the glass is noise; the ice is order, the glass is con fusion. In the glass, molecular forces constitute an inextricably entangled skein; in the ice, they are woven into a symmetric web, of the wonderful texture just de scribed. Snow-flakes are not less curious nor less complicated in. their structure. When the cold is enough to cause water to congeal, each tiny droplet that hangs in the air gives birth to a slim six-sided column terminated at each end by a six-faced pyramid. These little crystals do not remain isolated. During their descent they cluster together, so forming star-shaped groups. Sometimes six crystals only assemble round a common centre,—the simplest-possible form of star; but in the majority of cases, the. crystalline associations are more numerous. On the branchel of the primary star, smaller crys tals are regularly disposed, and on these latter smaller branchlets still. Thus the snowy star grows more and more compli cated, while every additional ramification is made in obedience to the one same law. Our great English lecturer also tells us that snow, perfectly formed, is not an irregular aggregate of ice particles. In a calm atmosphere, the aqueous atoms ar range themselves so as to form the most exquisite built open the The snow crystals are pan the same type as the six-petaled TAU; • ".& NUOVISTr 6. 1866 !a, which show themselves within a of ice when a beam of ' heat is sent .h it.

SILK-SPINNING SPIDERS. Mr. J. M. Jones, the author of "The Naturalist in liOrmuda," sends the follow ing note to the Times : "In a recent number of the Times I observe, a notice of a species of silk-spider, stated to have'been discovered on Folly Island, in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina, by Dr. Wilder, of the United States army. As the subject appears to have attracted atten tion, perhaps I may be permitted to offer a few remarks bearing additional testimony to a fact which is worthy of lirecord in an economical as well as scientific point of view. When I paid my first visit to the Bermudas, in the summer of 1854, I be came acquainted with the habits of a very remarkable species of spider, which, on my return to England, was identified by. Mr. Adam White as Epeira clavipes. A short account of its habits and silk-yielding capa bilities I gave in my 'Naturalist in Bermu da,' (1859.) Since that time, however, repeated visits to the islands, have afforded me opportunities of observing the insect, and collecting specimens, both Old and young, with cocoons, &c. From such ob servations I am inclibed to believe that this species, which belongs to the same genus as Dr. Wildees insect, is equally capable of pro`duciiig silk of a quality by no means inferior to that of the. Folly Island spider. My attention was first drawn to the strength of the silk by coming in contact with the webs, as I forced my way through the cedar-groves, when I found the power of resistance to be -something extraordinary, and I really imagined ,that the information given me as to the capture of the smaller birds in its silky• meshes was perfectly correct. " Having been told by a 'Mudian lady that good housewives sometimes made use of the silk for domestic purposes, I thought I would endeavor to procure a sample fresh from ,the insect. Seizing the first specimen that came 'to hand, I allowed it to fall about half-way to the ground, hanging suspended by its thread. Taking a piece of twisted paper, I transferred the end of the thread to it before the spider reached the ground, and commenced winding rapidly while the insect descended, and I wound away for some time, until at last my specimen seemed disinclined to continue the supply, when, severing the thread, the insect was allowed to escape. Now, this :thread of silk, which, by-the-by, was of the nost beautiful color and texture, during th whole process was never broken, and even hen I gave it an extra stretch it only Pr ved the more its strength and elasticity. The cocoons are composed of the richest silk, far surpassing, I think, that afforded by those of the Bombyces ; While from the abundance of these insects in the Bermudas, I have not a doubt, if collected together, and kept within proper enclosures, they would prove a source of much profit to the owners, and a benefit to manufacturers of silk material ; for the spider, unlike the caterpillar's provs, emits several threads at once, which, united, form a strand of considerable strength."— Every Saturday. ttsk( Minitatiots.
