IIOTOOIS'GESARE CAUGHT. ONE OF FLORIDA'S IMPORTANT IN DUSTRIES. Iho Crent Coral Iloofh Along the Const Sponiro FtahtnK Not Ka7 AVork IMfiVrpnt Varieties. A Fort Meade (Fh.) letter to the Xcw York Times says that spongo fishing is confined to the southwestern mrt of the coast, along the reefs, nml to the exteu livo rocky shoals, thnt lie between Mark's and Anclotc Keys. Accurately speaking, tho spongo reef begins a few miles east of Appnlachicolii, and hugs the coast to within fifty miles of Cedar Keys. Then there is a break of 100 miles, after which it reappears and runs south without in terruption to Key AVct and the Biilmtna Islands. This reef, n rocky ridge, some times of genuine limestone, but generally af coral, begins some six or eight miles from shore and continues out indefinitely. Wherever there is a rocky bottom sponges iro said to bo found, and the only reason why the fisheries do not extend completely around the gulf coast is that in places, as off the coast of Texas or (."eilnr Keys, this rocky bottom begins in water too deep to permit of profitable sponging. The aver- ige depth of water on the St. Mark's reef at six miles froffi land is sixteen feet. The sponges are in great abundance and of good ipiulity. The supply is practi cally incxhaustiable, as they grow almost is fast as gathered, a sponge requiring only nbout two years to reach maturity. Nearly all of the sponges vised in the United States were brought from the Mediterranean until 1S52, when attention was called to the immense numbers thai were growing in Florida waters. As soon as it was found that the quality of these compared favorably with those of Europe the merchants and fitters-out of vessels of Key West engaged very actively in the business of placing them on the market. At first the best qualities were bough' from the fishermen at the rate of ten cents per pound. As Mediterranean sponges became scarce and costly, tho Florida sponges came into more demand, anil their value increased proportionately. After about eighteen years' fishing upon tho known grouud tho supply began to fail. Then, in 1870, a new area of ground, larger than the old one, was dis covered, and this gave a new impetus to tho trade. In that year Appalachicola sent out a small fleet of sponge vessels which has since been largely increased. During the past eighteen years the busi ness has been energetically pursued with good results. The methods employed in the fishery differ greatly from those employed iu the Mediterranean, where divers go down and bring up the sponges. Small vessels, carrying crews of from five to fifteen men, are fitted out at Key West and Appalachicola, for trips of from four to eight weeks on the sponge grounds. The crews are paired off into snitdl rowboats, or "dingies," to catch the sponges. One man stands in tho stern, sculling the boat, while the other kneels in the bot tom amidships, with the upper half of his body leaning over the side, and scans the bottom of the sea. To aid the eye an instrument called a "water glass," which is a common water bucket whose wooden bottom has been replaced by one of glass, is used by setting it in the watet and thrusting the face as far into it as convenient. When a sponge is sighted the boat is stopped, and the kneeling man uses a two-pronged hook, attached to a slender pole thirty or forty feet iu length, to secure it. Considerable dex terity is required of both men. To cure the sponges they are first spread about the vessel's deck in their natural upright position, so that they will die, and while decomposing allow the gelatinous mutter to run off freely. When they have been levcral days in this position they are taken to the shore and thrown into the water in little pens, called ''crawls," where the remaining substance is soaked ind squeezed out. The spongers thus work on, day after day, under a tropical sun that burns and browns the skin until one cannot tell a white man from a negro. It is a desper ately hard life,more severe than any othei that one can think of, and it requires men of no ordinary constitution to stand up to it. The spongers are therefore naturally an exceedingly muscular set. The principal season for this fishery is the summer, from May to August, but tht best conditions of the water are in winter and a great deal of the fishing is then carried on with success. During the hurricane months of August, September and Marc h the vessels are nearly all laid up. The state of the weather greatly affects the result of the fishery. When the water is made rough and roily by long-contiuued strong winds sponge catch ing becomes impracticable. In some years the fishery has been a complete failure, while in others it has been very profitable, always owing to the weather. As the natural beds of sponges have be come scarcer prices have advanced, mi that even if a vessel does not secure as large a quantity in a given time us formerly the financial result is about the same. There are several varieties of sponges caught iu the Florida waters. There are first, bheep's wool, which sell for $1 to (5 a pound; second, yellow sponges, which sell for 20 to b'O cents per pound, and third, grata sponges, which are c oarse in texture, and not durable, and sell for 10 to 20 cents per pound. When these are marketed they are trimmed and cleaned of sand and shells, aud then pressed into lirrnll bales of 100 to 120 pounds each in which form they go to the wholesale dealers. Some uttcuipts have been made during the past three years to cultivate the mure valuable kinds of sponges, und in some instances the experiment has met with success. It seems probublo that the future supply of the sheep's wool variety n ill depend upon some suc h action as this. Besides being scarcer along tho sponge reef, this variety grows slower than tho coarser kinds, uud the demand for it is always greater than the supply. An Indian Warrant.

"Many a time and oft" tho use of oroad-tired wheels has been advocated iu these columns. But few persons seem to exercise any good judgment in regard to this reform. The exceedingly narrow iires one and one-half inches cven1 jsed for wagons which carry heavy loads, .ipon earth roads are still adhered to, and i three or four inch tier is looked at bjj the rural trnvclcrs with something nkiii Jo amazement. And yet such a tire not! only does not damage a road, whether it be hard or soft, but it actually improve!! it, rolling it and making it hard, smooth ind firm. And, moreover, the load is Irawn with greater case. In field work! the advantage is equally great. Thd wheels do not sink through an ordinary tod, and very little in a stubble, whilo !wo horses will draw .'3000 pounds of iinnnre upon freshly-plowed land with four-inch tires to the wheels when they would be stalled with 1500 pounds upon me and one-half inch wheels. iWt York Time. A RAT-PKOOK CHIB. 11 A crib for ear corn, says a Pennsylj ruuia farmer, should be so constructed a to allow a free passage of air through it, otherwise the grain is liable to moid be. fore it is properly dried out. The best way I know of to place a slatted or partly open cnu is to set it on upright blocks ten inches square and four feet high, with the upper cuds trimmed down to six inches square : on these ends nail sheets of tin wide enough to project beyond tho ulls, winch are to be laid on these tiu :overcd blocks, so that w hen a rat climbs up the foundation block he is met by the proiecting tin, which he cannot get over, fho crib may then be finished in any form lesired, cither open work for car corn, or entirely tight, according to the use it is wanted for, and no mouse or rat can en ter it, unless by some carelessness or neglect on the owner's part. Nothing must be left set tip against it to furnish a ludder for the vermin, and the steps should be moveable so they can be set aside or suspended when not in use." FLAX SEED AND OIL CAKE. ' The Live Stock Hecord is asked to state the difference iu the value of flax seed ind oil meal for feeding purposes. Thq farmer who raises flax seed and cannot j;et a satisfactory price concludes that it ail meal is good. flax seed must be better. It is true that flax seed has more fatten ing qualities than oil meal, but taking into account tho difficulty of grinding ind other matters iu connection we re gard oil meal as the full equivalent iu feeding value of an equal weight of flax seed. One hundred pounds of flax seed contains nearly three times as much fat us M meal and twenty per cent, less sugar ind starch, or to be accurate, 31A5 pounds of the elements that form muscle nd growth, whilst oil cake contains but J3.95 pounds of fat und heat-formers and thirty pounds of flesh-formers. The oil ;ake has more crude fiber, which is value less, and nearly twice the amount of ash or bone material. As the protein or flesh-forming elements are the most val uable, it will be seeu at a glance that foi growing stock the oil cake is worth more, pound for pound, than the oil meal, whilst the difficulty of grinding the seed and the waste and danger of feeding it raw preclude its use in fatteuing except in such small quantities as may be readily boiled and greatly diluted for calves anil pigs. It need hardly be mentioned that both these foods are very rich and should be fed very carefully aud in small quantities it first, but oil meal properly fed is oni of the most voluable and in proper pro portions one of tho cheapest foods, not. witnstanding its high price. It is fed tc greatest advantage to jugs and colts and growing calves iu .-ombinntion with foods which are lucking in the elements ol which it has an excess. THE LONG-CONTINUED CSE OF FERTILIZERS. The following query with its rcplv ap peared in a recent bulletin issued by th Georgia State Agriculture Department: Question It is a fact, as regards tint section, that the unfertilized laud, agt aud wear considered, will not produce as it did before commercial fertilizers were used. Why is it? 2. Or has the long continued use of fertilizers made theii use a necessity? This theory is true at to the human system, is it also true as tc the soil and plants. Heply 1. It is because larirer crool have been annually taken off the soil thai if no fertilizers hud been used. The fer tilizer added to the soil stimulates th plant to appropriate and the soil to yield to the plant more of the elements of plant lnnA l ; i. . . . .. V. iv7ou iuuiiueu in mu son naturally tlmu if no fertilizer were applied. If tho fer tilizer applied does not contain the ele ments of plant food in the proportions de manded by the invariable composition ol the crops cultivated, esueciullv if the lucking element is the one iu which the soil is most deficient, the soil will soou become destituteof the deficient element, at least in un invariable form as jiluut food. It will then no longer pro duce as good crops us formerly, unless the deficiency be made up. The element most commonly applied which exerts this so-called stimulating effect on the soil is ammonia, which causes a vigor ous growth of stem and foliage, and thus demands an increased quantity of the ele ments already iu the soil and returns a larger crop. Of course, the soil will soon exhibit signs of exhaustion under such treatment, especially when it is iemeui bercd that more of the elements of fer tility iu the soil are annually washed awuyi ly the rams than are removed in the crops produced on the land. 2. There is no doubt of the fact that the continued use of fertilizers becomes a necessity when we contiuue to cultivate! tne same land in clean crops, like com ami cotton, t'recisely the same is truo of the use of stable manure. It wiis it necessity t hut first induced its use; it does not become any more a necessity. If an acre of soil contains tho necessary plant food, mostly in unavailable form, to produce 1000 bushels of corn before it will have become entirely exhausted, and ordinary continuous cultivation iu that crop, without manure, would reach the stage of exhaustion iu 100 years, would it be bad policy to fertilize the laud and cause it to yield the 1000 bushels of corn in twenty-five veurs. The soil cannot be likened to the hu man body in a comparison of thu sort suggested; it is the plant that sustains that relation. The plant iu the one. case aud the human liody iu the other are the objects to be supplied with food. The ineory nas no such application. r . PARitrnta as a nnsiNKss. Probably no occupation is carried on with so little regard to business rule as that of fanning. Tho farmer requires more education and a knowlcdgo of a greater variety of subjects than any of the so-called learned professions. Tho man who only knows how to turn a g 1 furrow, prepare tho soil for tho seed, stop tho growth 'of weeds and promote tho growth of tho plant, has not mastered tho art of successful farming. Nor has tho man who knows only how to rniso fino horses, sleek cattle or fat. swine, or how to fertilize his fields to the best advan tage, raise the best corn or potatoes or tho highest yield of oats or barley. The man who to-day really makes a thorough suc elements of knowledge and many more. It used to be said that airy fool could cess as a farmer must combine all these be a farmer, but at the present day peo ple begin to realize the fact that the farmer needs the most education. The time has gone by when the haphazard, sliuhod, go-as-you-please methods of farming can be made to pay. What would be thought of the manufacturer w hotlid not know to tho fraction of a cent tho cost of the raw material aud labor put Into a yard of cloth, or the manufacturer 'of leather who did not know the exact cost of the material and labor required to make a case of boots and shoes. And yet how many farmers can tell the cost of a pound of butter or pork, a bushel of potatoes or corn, or a ton of hay f They sell their products for what they can get offered, not kuowiug whether they are making or losing. Tho remedy is this: When farmers tome to realize that farming is a business as well as manufacturing or banking or buying and selling goods, aud by a care ful keeping of accounts learn to figure the cost of every article they produce, then a successful beginning will have been made. Let them keep debt and credit with every acre of corn, potatoes or grain. Charge each acre with the in terest on its value, the probublo amount of fertilizing material used by tho crop, the cost of labor in its care. Credit it with the market value of the crop pro duced. The difference between tho two will represent the profit or loss. A like accouut should be kept with the herd of cows. If any one of the number entails a loss upon you dispose of her. Keep a strict account with the orchard, if you have one. Debit it with the labor employed in its care and in tho harvesting of its fruit. Credit it with the value of its golden product and learn from the balance on the right side of the ledger that it is one of your best friends. The farmer's book is one of reference, to which he can at any timo refer for date or article bought or sold, and price giveu or re ceived for the same. Having learned to calculate the costs of the products of the farm, the next business is to know how to sell them. Make a study of the mar kets and learn for yourselves the prices of those things you wish to sell. A'eu York Ucrald. ItAISINQ HOGS. . As the hog seems to be indispensable to the American people, the object of the farmer should be to produce the greatest amount of good pork nt tho least ex pense. The question then is, how can ihis bo done? I will endeavor to answer this knotty question. First procure some "pure bred sows of some well-established black breed, and mate them with mules not too closely connected, but of pure stock. Have the sows furrow in Septem ber or October. Feed them liberally on jslop from the kitchen, with all tho milk liu it you can spare; have your troughs made shullow, so tho pigs con get a taste, and they will soon learn to drink until full. When cold weather comes, enrich your slop by adding bran und boiled po tatoes. The sniull and defective ones, which you should sort out nt digging time, will pay a good profit if fed iu this way to your pigs. If you have apples to ispare, or those which are beginning to decay, put them into your slop, with tur juip peelings, cabbage refuse, or anything ia hog will relish; he likes a variety. I As the cold increases, the slop should ihave some scalded meal in it. If fed in 'this way until clover is ready to turn in Ion, the shoats should be growing finely. .Let them remain iu the clover until har vest. If you have an orchard (the largot (the better) sow it to oats, when the grain is ripe turn your shoats in, and you will see that this feed will develop their bone and muscle. By the timo the oats isposed of your early apples should be ready; then your summer and full va rieties will follow, and if you have plenty of sweet apples (which you should) in your orchard, you will bo astonished ,to see how your shoats will thrive ou them. I have come to the conclusion that ap ples (especially sweet ones) with a little corn meal and potato slop, is tho cheap est and best feed for preparing a hog for Hhc slaughter house. By the time your pigs are a year or fourteen months old they should be ready for tho market, and their weights should be satisfactory. The reason why I prefer to have tho pigs to come iu the fall rather than in the siinng, is, that during winter tne larmer pias more leisure time to get his pigs up a nrst class boarding House, wun extra in expensive rations, uud ho has a longer ,iime 10 cnauge a sucaiug jug iniua tnree hundred pound porker, und so is not compelled to resort to the forcing system at a busy time of the year, as hu is when he makes un April pig weigh three hun dred pounds by Thanksgiving. Another advantage in having a hog a yeur old, when called upon to "die for his coun try" is, that duriug the last six weeks of his life he takes ou fat more readily, and when slaughtered his yield of lard is sat isfactory. Whereas at six months old, although fat, nature is still striving to pro duce more bone uud muscle iustead of fut, becuuse the pig has not yet come tc maturity. The reason why I prefer a black or dark spotted hog to u w hite one is, that when pigs they seem to be less liable to have the mango in winter. Pigs ure very social creatures, and they will pile up when colli, and so get dirty and hot. Too much tilth aud heat is, 1 think, the cause of the mange, and whin a white pig gets rusty und bis hair stands erect, his progress toward development is slow, uud his end is near at hand. W'hereas, his more swarthy brother seems to grow notwithstanding his uufuvorublt surroundings. Corn cob ashes mixed w ith suit, should be given to hogs to keep them healthy. 1 To sum up, feed slop uud cooked po tatoes in winter uud early spring, then clover, oats und apples, the more sweel upplcs thu better, giving thu tiiiifhinfj touch to his hogship with a few busheh of corn meal mixed with buttermilk. 11 he does not then make good pork Iw ii agree to eat him if you will give ine timt enough. farm, yield and Htuckiuati.

Iu appearance a fresh-rim salmon aud a fresh-ruu winauishe do not differ much more than salmon from different rivers. The back of a w inanishe is greener blue, r.ud iu a fish just out of water can be seen to be marked with olive spots, some thing like the vermiculations on a trout; the silvery scales are more iridescent, the X-marks are more numerous uud less sharply defined; the patches of bronze, purple and green ou the gill-covers are larger uud more brilliant, uud with them are several largo round black spots. As the water grows warm the bright hues get dull, and toward autumn the rusty red color and hooked lower jaws of the spawn ing salmon develop. As the winauishe, unlike the salmon, feeds continuously, and iu much heavier and swifter water than salmon lie in, it has a slimmer body and larger fins, bo that a five-pound win auishe can leap higher und oftener than a grilse and fight like a ten-pound salmon.
