of Frog Farms, Terrapin Farms, and
many other kind of farms, while many of
them turn out to be either myths or mel
ancholy failures we have In view one that
Is suid to be a success. The Pug Dog farm
at Layton, conducted by C. K. MuCracken
Is just in the swim. Pug Dogs are a fad
only of people of quality, and when a high
toued breeder puts them In the market
with a recommend of purity, and fine
breeding, there is money In It everybody
wants one. It is said that the manager of
the merry-go-round has started new ma
chines In Dingiuans,Hainesville and other
places. We are glad to note these eviden
ce of success. Why should not the Pug
Dog uiauagor start extensions lu other
cities also.

It was a large one weighing 9 pounds.
Such a carp stuffed with crackers and oys

brain and stomach too perhaps of any
stray objections that might be lurking
around against the edibility of carp.
The heavy rains of last week washed

BUS H KILL.
(Special Correspondence to the Press.)
Buskkill, Pike Co., Pa., July 9. Por
ter's Lake and Courtright'i continue to be
the objective point for fishermen. Few
anglers tire of Porter's Lake and this I
son It Is especially attractive on account of
the new management. The average ang
ler In search of sport can find plenty of It
at Porter's Lake. Few baas are being
caught this week at Courtright'i, although
the lake Is full of flsh, but this does not
discourage the fishermen, who can find
plenty of other good fishing. .
Edw. R. Smyth, of Philadelphia, nep
hew of the member of Young, Smyth
Field & Co., the well-known Philadelphia
firm, had great sport at Porter's a few
days ago. Young Smyth had for his com
pauy, John D. Jones and W. A. Phillips,
of New York City.- They arrived In town
a few' days ago, and explained with evi
dent delight and satisfaction how they
passed their time away killing snakes,
which abound so abundantly In the lonely
Pike county region. Young Smyth had
the satisfaction of killing a monster 4 feet
long.
Attorney Harvey Hoffman and Clerk
W, B. Ellen berger, accompanied by friends,
visited both Porter's and Courtright last
week. ' ;
As the trout season In Pike oonnty does
nut close as early as In some of the adjoin
ing counties the anglers are In no particu
lar hurry to bring their fishing records fur
tke season to a close, and this may account
for the absence of any large catches.
