THK ( I'l.TL'KK OF VXRP,
The following jmicle on the subject
of carp culture we take from the West
moreland Dtmocrut. As a number of
out farmers have built, ponds an J many

'.merest Ing :
"In ninny sections o Westmoreland
cout ty there are pTPona who very rarely
taste fresh fish. Tei:insH of their re
m'itr-rjes from markets, ar;d because of .
the further f;u"f, wi'h the excep'ion of
the i idge country, all tLe etreaais have
lC"ti:e depopulated through the wash ;
of th no'-i' miDes. vrry large majority '.
have come to look upoa a fresh fish as a
loiitry. Aud yet it is p wsible for almos: j
every farmer to h .ve nbundance of fresh t
fish at bis door With little more trouble j
and not as much expense as the poultry j
in his barn-yard. This result can be j
attained in the culture of the German j
carp. Ten yers ago tfce U. S. Fish j
Commission had a nuiubei of these food ;
fish Imported for experiment in this
country. It has since been found that
they can be propagated in all parts of the
United States as successfully as in j
Europe
Tnere are at present probably i
over 101) carp ponds in different parts of j
this county. From those established
two or three years ago the owners are
now reaping a rich rewaid. The rapid
growth and wonderful manner in which
these iih multiply, as demonstrated in
this Vieility, has eeu noted at din Tent
times in the coiumas of the Democrat.
There is no good reason w by a! most every
one of the 5, iOO iartns in Westmoreland
should not have its carp pond. In the
hope still further awakenirg interest on
the subject we offt-r soui" facts and hints
on carp -u!tui e :
1. i. lis may lie made of almost any
si.-. O ie-(!i.irter of an acre, it his
been estimated, stocked with yearling,
will iToduoe about 2,.j'j( p unds of caip
fcr u-ie annually. A location for th"
pond should be fuund in the vicinity of
a small stream of unpolluted water or
spring. Swamp land can sometime te
ntiliz-d. The pcud should not be built
by directly damning the s'renrn. L'cat
the i''tid 01. the side of the stieam, and
conduct the water thither by such
arrai g-ment as will enable one tosupp'y
the pond with a large or small How as
rjoav b deemed necessary. The dam
Should be located at a sufficient d's'auce
above :he pond to allow of a fall great
enough for an -easy descent of the water
to the pond. It the bottom is alluvia'
jt should be covered with clay or heavy
loam before the water is turned in. i?ut,
in at te,it six inches of clay and puddle
or tamp well Ttieemtidnkm- nrs should
be solidly built an 1 considerably w ider
at the bottom th m at the top. To make
the f i'id proof against botti muskrat3
and Tiy fih, th middle of theem
bankTi'iT shou'l be fil'eil with sma'l
stou. an 1 the interstices between the
latter with Bind or fine gravel. If the
Blone filling is made a foot or two lower
than 'heembankment, it is a'l the better.
A ke'tln or pool shou'd b located near
the breast of the pond, where the drain
pipe for emptying is placed. The ket
tle soould be a foot or 18 inches deeper
than the other part of the pond, and be
connected wit h the farthest part of the
pond bv a ditch about one foJt deep and
three feet wide. Small side ditches
should also be dug from the edges of
the !rnd to this main, centra! ditch, so
that when it is d sired to drain the
pond ail the fish and water may be
drawn into the kettle. The pond should
be graded from the outer edges toward
the kettle, commonly with a depth of
water ." or 0 ir.cls, and gradually in
creasing urtil the k?tt!e is reached.
The overflow p'pe should be so arranged
that the water in the kettle shall not be
less than 5 feet. This is necessary as
the fish usually retire there and remain
(luring the co'd weather. When the
Bun shinps and the temperature of the
water is raised they again venture into
the shallow. The pond should be
located so as to have as much exposure
to the sun as possible so that the water
may be kept warm. If the supply is
from ft Bpttnjr, tne water should be re-
quired to fl iw through an open broad
channel, that, the chilliness may be re
duced before it enters the pond. When
the nond is froz-n over in the winter
time, holes should be cut in the ice fit
intervals thai the Gsh may have air.
Care must be taken that frngs, snakes.
rauskrata, orothT fish do not find their
way into the pand.
Th flsh spawn in their second year.
It is said a female carp, weigh'ng 4 or
5 pounds, contains from -ioo.ooo t j 500.
OOOeptr. Aquatic plants are eererally
placed in ponds on wh'ch the epawn
may be deposited. It is found, however, ;
that a Ptill better plan is to place some
brush in theedgc-snf tfce pond. After'
the ?p;iwn lias been dpisited thereon '
the brush should be removed toaseroud
pond, where the young: tQ3y hatch out. j
The larger carp cpnsume the jp?.wn.
The carp is shy and curtnluff. He does
not delight in expsinir himself to the j
genera! paze. (.'are mnt consequently
be takn that the pond does not become
over-stocked. Draw off the pond oc- j
casiona'Iy that a knowledge of its con- i
diticn may be ascertained and the
drains leading to the kettle cleared of
any obstructions. I eed the fish often'
and they will fatten and thrive. The?
will eat with a relish the refuse from j
the table, whether it be bits of meat,
tread or vegetables. Cut the food into ;
Bmall pieces and distribute near the '
bank. An occasional glimpse of the
Csh can be obtained when they are
searching for the foo'J. In the winter
time tbey require little or no food. Fish
spawnsd in April will attain a length
of f inches by autumn. In two years.
under ravorable conditions, they have ;
been known to reach a weight of from :
4 to C pounds and a length of from 1G to i
20 inches. ;
With a plow, scoop and shovel a pond j
can readily be constructed. Fish for '
etocking the pond can be procured from i
the S-.ate Commission without cost, or I
from some of the successful earn cul-
turists Hi t he county at a SOI ill expense.
It would likewise le advisable for per
sons before beginning the construction
of ponds and culture of fish to visit
some of tbe places where the propaga
tion has teen in progress for several
years. Such ponds cn now be seen in
almost every part of Westmoreland.

A Fatuous Dnel.
In a sou the rn paper the conversation
between General Hardiifc and General
Andrew Jackson, relative to Jackson "a
duel with Dickinson is given :
"In conversation with General Jack
son one day I said : 'General is a brave
man ever frightened ?'
I don't know that I am competent
to answer tbat question,' said he. I re
plied : Tb world accords you asmuch
bravery as Is possessed by any man.'
" 'If that be so, sir,' said the General
I would say 1 have been asbadiy fright
ened as b gentleman ought to be.'
' I said, I presume that it was in some
of your Ind'.an fights V"
"'No.' said he, 'it was when I went
on the fie'd with Dickinson. I knew
him to be a cool, brave, determined
man. and the best shot I ever saw, and
I never expected to 'eave the field alive.
I owe mi life to the fashion of the day
the fml breated coat. This aud the
peculiar conformation of my much-sunken
chest were all that saved me. Dick
inson's bullet struck what appeared to
be the renter of my body under the right
arm, and tha ball grazed my breastbone,
1 had gone upon the field determined
not to fire at Dickinson, but to discharge
my pisrol in the air, having no ground
to quarrel with and not wishing to harm
a hair of his hesd. My quarrel was
with his father-in-law, Ervin ; but
when I felt myself shot, under the im
pression that I had received a mortal
wound, and smarting under the belief
and the physical pain, I fired the fatal
hot, and no act of my life have I ever
regretted so much."
" 'Untfer the conditiona of the meet
ing we had a right to reserve the fire,
because I knew that Dickinson could
shoot so much more quickly than I could.
It has been asserted in the public prin's
said Old Hickory. 'that I advanced on
Dickinson to deliver my shot and that
tin gave back, both of which statements
are false, sir. I stood in my place when
I fired and Dickinsor remained in his
r.Aiiitriiiii i-n tr nh.-tt lilrA a f . " r 1 hruva man '
hs he was."'
Genera! Harding said at this same
interview, which was the last he ever
had with General Jsckson, the latter
said to him :
"The world is greatlv mistaken about
my having an ungovernable temper. I
,,. ver gave an exhibition of temper
wi'houtmy judgement approved it, I
s metimes found It necessary even to
prevent the shedding of blood.' "
A Dog' iSagaeity.
' At Ceriano in Italy during the recent
earthquake, a poor fellow who lived by
I hawking milk was buried under the
! ruins of his cottage a little way out of
I t.iwn. His large dog, which used to
; drag the milk cart up the mountain
roads, smelt out his master, and began
i t ) scrach away the rubbish until he laid
' ?! 's master's head bare, which was cov
red with wounds. Then the dog began
I ' o lick the wounds ; but finding that the
j nieeding continued, and comprehending
j that he could not dig further, he ran off
i nd seized by the coat the first Individ
i nal he met, who, thinking the dog was
j mad, got loose and ran away. But a
! second person, guessing what the ani
' mal wanted, followed him, and conse
! qtiently the poor milkman was released
, ;rom his dangerous position. The
Minister Genala paid him a visit and
found him with his head bound up un
I dr a tent, with the faithful dog lying
1 ' "side him.
Anthracite Coal.
Anthracite was discovered in Penn-
i slvana in 1790, by XichoJas Allen. '
Tli is Allan, according to the stories j
and traditions that have been handed
j d ;wn about him must have been a kind
j ft American Rip Van Winkle. lie had
come down from the Lake Champlain
lumber region and opened an inn on the I
, summit of the Broad Mountain. For a !
i lime he led a wandeiing existenoe, hunt- '
I irg fishiDg and lumbering, while his :
I wife attended. to thirsty travelers. In !
j one of his bunt ing excursions he camped '
( out at the foot of the Broad Mountain, j
j at spot where a coal vein cropped out, i
; mid upon lighting a fire, was astonish- J
' at the intense beat it threw off. He also
1 s iw that some of the black stone had
become red hot. He dug some of it, and
ca-ried it home, when his wife, more
. practical than himself, pronounce! it
j coal. They saw coal crop out in abun
Jance, and visions of fortunes that might
be realized ont of it flashed through their
m'ndg simultaneously. So, disposing
of their effects, thev loaded two large
covrrea wagons with the coal, and set
J ou" for 1'hiladelphia, with the intention
of marketing it there and discovering
j i s true value. They drove along the
' banks of the Schuylkill, sleeping in the
' open air at night. At Pottstown three
of their borses died, and the coal was
dumped into the river. "Wearied and
disheartened, the pair returned to the
i old place at the summit of the moun
; tain, and shortly afterward Allen laid
I bis faithful wife to rest over the coal
i vein that proved their ruin, and turn
! ed his face toward the West, where,
i after an uneventful career, he enlisted
i for the campaign under Harrison, and
' fell at Tippecanoe.
Prof. J. C. Arthur slated at tbe last
t meeting of the American Pomological
; Society, that to test the contagious
! character of pear blight he drew a knife
j through diseased branches, and then
I cut oft healthy limbs of differnt sizes

cuts a foot below the lowest point wherJ
disease appears. Our rule has been,
when practicable, to cut two or three
feet below. Frof Arthur, in answer to
a question, said he did not see how anj
wasting with lime and sulphur could
have any effect on the blight, as applied
outside it could not reach the bacteria
within. We have seen bad cases of
pear blight on trees which had been pre
viously well washed all over with lime
and sulphur.

it ( to delude a poor sufferer into tho belief
that soma worthless liniment will cure rheu
matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best
policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar
tides as in all other matters, and the fact that
the proprietors of Athlophoros have never
claimed for it even all its merit would war
rant has not a little to do with iu wonderful
popularity, and the thousands of grateful
testimonials received by them show that
their policy has been wise as well as right.
Kxperience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
ies'). The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy to be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and in (lames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. It takes the poison
out of the blood and carries it out of the
system ; it invigorates the action of the
mnscles and limbers the stirmess of the
joints. It reaches the liver and kidneys,
cleansing them from irritatinsf substances,
and, if followed up afier the rheumatic
conditions cease, it will restore these organs
to regularity and health.
West Chazy. N. Y., Aug. 19, 1886.
Yours of An trust 14th, is at hand, and
in reply would say that Athlophoroa
proved the most effectual remedy for neu
ralgia in the case of my son that I ever
tried. After using half a bottle he was not
troubled any more for six months.
Henry Harris.
Mt. Pleasant, Pa., Aug. 10, 1836.
I am thankful that I tried Athlophoros.
I had rheumatism seven years, part of the
time could not move ; but to-day I am
well and hearty. I write this hoping some
other sufferer may try it.
W. S. Flemtho.

Home(yrown Luxuries.
The majo'ity of farmers, in their de
sire to plant and sow many acres in
what are known as the standard of com
mercial crops, ordinarily Deglect to raice
many little thiDgs that are very condu
cive to good living. Peihaps the short
ness of the season in this pari of the
country is the main cause of this neglect.
It is certain the tables of people who
live in towns are much better supplied
1 with fine garden vepetablrs and small
fruits than those of families who live on
fatms, especially on large farms oi
th"se that are but partially Improved.
Farmers generally have cabbage, onions.
. Wets, carrots, turnips, cucumbers, and
tomatofs, but very few of them raise
cauliflower, which is as easily raised as
cabbage, or egg plant, which can be
J producfd with as little trouble as toma
; toes. Celery is rarely found in a farm
: house unless it is brought from some
large town, which is supplied with veg-
etahles by a market gardener. By the
, old methods ce!er7 was a very expensive
1 plant to raise and blanch, but ty '.he
i improved methods it can be grown with
i little difficulty, and it deserves to have
a place in the garden of every farmer.
Almost every one who raises corn has
i green ears for roasting and boiling. But
, on many farms the time of using them
; is limited to two or three weeks, the us
I ual period for corn to remain in the
milk state. All the corn is planted at
j about the same time, and as a matter of
course it all matures or becomes hard
' about the same number of days after it
i was planted. It does not seem to occur
to most farmers to plant a few hil's of
corn during every week from April to
Juiy and thereby secure a succession of
; roasting ears. M4CV farmers do not
piant the sweet corn for table purposes
because they have no seed or for fear it
will "mix" with their ordinary Jent or
flint corn. Tbey deprive themselves of
a great and very cheap luxury by not
p'antirg sweet corn at different times
I in the spring and early summer to have
a sucression of gren ears. Popcorn is
j as desirable in the winter as eweet corn
i is during the summer and the early part
I of the fall. It is as easily raised as
i common field corn, is an excel'eut arti
! cle of food, can be prepared for eating
j without expense, and is promotive of
household happiness. Still popcorn,
plain or sugared, is mora common in the
i c-y tban in the country.
The condiments chiefly found on
farm-bouse tables are pepper, vinegar,
Crttsup, and mustard. Xot infrequently
grated horseradish is found. But th
garden radish, one of the most delicious
of vegetables, as well as one of the Inst
of appetizers, is rarely raised by fai lers. j
The few who do raise garden radishes ;
sow all tha seed at one time, and have I
them in a tender and crisp condition !
but a few weeks t most. By sowing a J
few seeds on rich, sandy soil every week '
from the time the frost lenves the soil j
till the latter part of summer fin '
radishes can be secured for at least half j
the year. By sowing the seed of the
black Spanish radish at about, the time
the seed of flat turnips is usually sown
a supply of somewhat .inferior radishes ;
can be obtained for use during cold
weathei. Garden cress, or pepper-grass
is not as generally raised as it was
many years ago, though It is an excellent j
relish, especially when used on cold
i meal: Watercress has no superior as a j
relish, and it can be raised almost with-
out trouble on the banks of streams, the
margin of springs, or the shores of lakes.
A bed once established will remain in j
good condition for years, and will sup- !
ply fresh stalks for the table from eail .
in the spring till winter. !
Few farmers pay much attention to ;
raising melons, and their use Is less i
common in the country than in the city.
They do not rank very high as articler (
of food, but they contribute to good liv- j
ing. During tie past few years the con- j
sumption of melons has increased very ;
fast in cities, and housekeepers find
them economical to buy, as they take
the place of pastry. Good melons can i
be raised s far north as corn can, and '
every farmer's family should be well !
supplied with them.
Early (iardenin.
It aeeds to be said again and again
that no advantage can be gained by
planting a garden before the soil is In a
proper condition for tbe germinat.on or
seeds. It is not an unworthy ambition
to desire to be ahead of all others in the j
matter of early vegitables, to boast the j
finest lettuce, peas, radishes and pota- j
toes in the neighborhood, but such ends .
will not be attained by rnshing seeds in- J
to the ground as soon as the snow fairly
disappears, riant the garden when the j
soil is yet chill and damp, while the j
nights are cold, and the mornings frosty, !
and seeds will refuse to throw out their
tender shoots, and either linger weets
after their appointad time for appearing
or else rot in the ground. Plants started
under such discouraging conditions
rarely thrive afterwards, even under
careful cultivation. They seem aever
to gain the vigor of plants that started
under more congenial circumstances. ;
Their hard struggle to push through the 1
cold, stiff soil apparently so exhausts 1
their vital energy, that they never re- !
cover, it is Detter to wan in every case
until the soil is thoroughly warm and
rneapurably dry before disturbing thei
surface at all. Of course the location '
OT,A txa nllar nltim
I 6"",uu ",,v VJ" t- ""-" "
of the soil itself helps to determine the
proper time for ploughing. A garden
with a sloping surface, or an open, '
sandy soil, is not likely to be made lumpy '
by early cultivation, though in other
respects it may be quite unfit f3r the
best growth of plants. It is not un
frequently the case that gardens planted
late in lhe season overtake and excel
those Started Very early.
In the former
case, the seeds germinate quickly, and
grow to maturity unchecked in the
warm soil and genial air. There is no
Implied excuse here for tardiness or
negligence in the preparation of the
garden, but a cauticn against that haste
which, in this instance, makes waste
UUIU JL IllliG CWLlU iuai.t;ii(iif A a u' j ao
uo way of forcing plants In hot-beds or
otherwise, an early garden can be en
sured only by cartful preparation of the
soil, by choosirig tbe most favorable
time for putting in seeds, and afterwards
by frequent hoeing, watering, and gen
eral culture of the growing plant.

The Care oTB ere e.i.
The waterlog and feeding of anit
Important from a hygienic star
point. It is especially eo when core
are concerned, since the care of tbe -
animals is more artiQcal than that .
"VJ other farm stock. One of the ca:
iron rules with stablemen is to waV:-
' twice a day. The iule will not we-
especial harm if applied to horses
every-day work, which leav tbe 8" -- .
in the morning and return at ni; .
Vtei. of course, is supposed to .
given at intervals through tbe day, ej:
especially at the noonday meal. 7
time of watering is important. Wi : .
should be given before and never af -feeding,
so far as full drafts are c::
cpmeJ.
"When a thirsty horse is given wL-:
water he will diink immediately afr
feeJltg much of the food is carried u: -digged
far into the bowels, carjsl?
many disorders, as colic, for lnstanc
If the horse 1? watered before being fe
the water papses out of stornaah, is tav
en up by the absobants, and distribut
throughout the system just where it
needed. If the horse seems thirsty e
ter eating'two or three quarts of wa'. -may
be given acd will do no harm.
The disposition of the horse as to ei
ir.g should be looked to. If inciired
b.it tls food without proper chew .
his teeth should be examined, and i
sound te.ith, if any, should be removf '
aud perhaps ground feed and cbopr
hay substituted for whole grain. Ti -a'so
should l t'r.e rnlp with eref ' -
liit?f-s that bolt the:.r foo withi i
prinding. If, hJw ver, a horse e. s
ra'her slowlf and piojwrly grir
tils food it i te:ter that the grain ard
hay be fed in the natural s'.ate.
If a horse is to do hard work duriii?
the day ground food is preferable for tl.s
morning meal. It is digested more rar
illy than when it Is fed whole. Anoth
er mistake too often made is to rush a
horse into exhaustive work as soon as
i he has swallowed his meal. Nothing
; could be more destructive to health. A.
least an hour shoold intervene after
l feeding before a hore in driTrn hard cr
pul'ed exhaus'ively.
The giving of water is not les" Impor
J tant than feeding. During a jourcev.
i and especially in hot weather, the team
j should te allowed to drink at every or
i pottunity if they will. Bnt at no tlrrf
! Eho lid they L allowed to Ell tlieinsplvf ?
; with water. Four qnarts is enough for
j a horse at anj time, unless a lorg dl
! tance has been driven. Then four
, quarts is enough for the first draft. At
j the end of tweutv minutes each hor?e
j should be allowtd a pailful if be wi"!
: drink it. Generslly he will not do ?,
j but if allowed he may take two or thr-?
i pailfuls at tbe first draft, and always to
i his damage.
j The stomach of the horse will coDU:rj
; only from twe're to six'een quarts. A
pailfnl of waf?r will fill the stomach of
; tfce ordinarv horsa. Th" wHter drark
does not remain in the stomach. It
passes into the large lDtestice (cscun.)
and thence to the bowels, being tek-ri
up along tbe passage by the aVsorbent?.
If large quantities of water are giver,
the horse sweats or stales profusely, ar.
tbe syiem is depleted. The tints he-e
given, if carefullv considered and acU 1
on, will save many veterinary fees, anl
in rparsely settled districts will ear'
mu:h unnessary disability, and tvtntLe
dpith of this the most valuable setvaLt
j of man. Colic, indigestion and other
j complications arising from improper
) watering and feeding kill more horse;
j thn ail other causes combined.

, The best quality of all, says the TVtl.
' wit and Farmer, is tbe good old fah
' ioned cider vinegar. Formerly this
I was the only kind used, but, since the
i manufacture of vinegar has become bet-
ter known. It can be made so much
cheaper that pure cider vinegar is al
: most on& of the things of the past.
Though the process of its manufacture
' from cider is so simple, yet fev seem to
well understand it. Al' fruit contains
more or less sugar, and, what appears
moBt strange, some of the sourest fruits
contain the most sugar, v.hile the sweet
er ones may contain very little. This
is caused by the sugar beiDg concealed
by the stronger acid of the fruit, while
in the sweeter apple there is scarcely
any acid, and the apple appears to be
really sweeter than it is.
The sugar, when the cider is express
ed from the apple, goes with it. This
sugar is the bans of the vinegar. This
cider, w hen m tnfactured. should be
placed in a clrun cask or barrel. One
tLat is sour, but not musty, being pre
ferred. This baiiel must be put in a
warm place, and the bung left out to
allow access of the air to form the vine
gar. The air unites with the f-ugsr of
the cider, causing a rapid formation of
a gas, that causes the cider to boil, as
it were, by its escape. Freeh air being
constantly added through the open bung,
the process is rapidly continued until all
' the sugar is converted into alcohol. A
, change eow takes place. The alcohol
! which is formed is acted upon by the
i air and converted into vinegar, more
I rapidlv, of course, undrc proper cordi
I tions than unfavorable ones. If the
! barrel is only filled halffull of the cider,
; and kept at a tempratnre of from SO to
S.3 degrees and air freely admitted, and
the barrel agitated by rollitg, gocd vin
egar can be made in a few weeks, brt
the flavor will not be so high as it
' would by slower making. "When tfce
; barrel or cask is filled very full, and bet
, little surface- is exposed to the air, the
j process goes on very swly. If tbe c!
' der is kept, as in a cellar, at a low tern
! perature. the recess Is also much retar
; ded, frequently taking more than twice
the time to complete the making.
! The better the cider the better the
vinegar. Tbat made from green and
unripe fruit will never make a superior
article, and in many caes will turn
black and putrefy in the barrel and be
worthless. Fref zir.g is injurious to the
flavor and quality of cider vinegar.

Thk milk from sick or diseased cows
should always be thrown away. Noth
ing spreads contagion sooner than
impure or filthy milk ; yet, as a rule,
all the mil i6 poured into cans together
without regard to the condition of tie
cows.
