Where strangers alias joke us when they come,
And brag o' their old states and enterprise—
Yit settle here; and, 'fore they realize,
They're " hoosier ' as the rest of us, and live
Itight here at home, boye,with their past forgive.
Right here at home, boys, is the place, I guess,
For me and you and plain old happiness ;
We hear the world's lest grandeur—likely Ise—
We'll take the world's word for it and no go,
We know its wayerare not our ways—so we'll stay
Right here at home, boys, where we know the way.
Right here at home, boys,_where a well-to-do
Man's plenty rich enough—and knows it, too,
And`s got a' extra dollar any time
To boost a feller up 'at wants to climb
And's got the git up in him to go in
And git there, like he purt' nigh allus kin !
Right here at, home, boys, is the place for us—
Where folkshearts' bigerer 'n their money pu's ;
And where a common feller 's les' as good

FARM FISH CULTURE.

SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED.

History and liablts--What it Looks Like
—How Farm Fish Ponds Are Construct-
ed— Their Pleasure and Value.
In years gone by, when all our lakes,
ponds, rivers and creeks abounded with
fish, there was no need to pay any atten-
tion to the cultivation of the finny tribe.
As our waters have year by year become
more thinly stocked, it has become neces-
sary to pay saine attention to the propa-
gation and cultivation of fish. Our own
and other Governments have passed laws
protecting the fish at spawning season;
they have also established hatcheries
where large numbers are annually hatched
and placed in public waters or disposed
of to parties who have private ponds or
str earns.
It was thought, not many years hence,
impossible to grow fish at, -home on the
farm in an artificially constructed pond.
It is now an established fact that sch can be
successfully and profitably done thus giv-
ing the farmer the most healthful food- as
a. change from salt po'rk so I universally
found on the table. c\e,
In many countries of Eur pe almost
every well-to-do farmer who has at all a
suitable place has a pond and grows his
own fish; such is also the case in some
parts of the United States to -day. Our
Canadian farmers have been cautiously ex-
perimenting with fish for the past few
years, and we find where once intro-
duced into a locality they are to stay
and increase. The experimenting period -
is past and our farmers are getting &satin to
business—ponds are being constructed in
every part of the country. I am almost
daily in receipt of inquiries as to the fish
beet adapted and most profitable for ponds
—their care, the construction of ponds, etc.
I will briefly give my ideas, with the ex-
perience.I have had, as to the best and most
profitable fish, with a sketch of their history
and introduction into America.
TRE CARP. -
Until quite recently this was about the
only fish that was grown in ponds. As it
thrives in any kind of water, it is very prolific,
and makes a rapid growth, the quality of
the meat comparing quite favorably with
most of our fish. Fish culturists are ex-
perimenting vrith..other varieties and domes-
ticating them., but at preaent none are so
popular and profitable as the carp. Many
centuries ago the carp is said to have been
introduced into Europe from Central Asia
or Persia. They are nientioned by Aris-
totle 350 years before Christ, and Pliny 50
year after Christ. The largest inland fish-
eries of Europe are the carp fisheries, sim-
ply because the earp, of all fish, is the most
excellent pond fish known to the world.
Carp are said to have been introduced .into
Austria in 1227, in England 1500, in France
1525, and in Denmark 1660. The first
carp ever brought to America was in
1830, when Captain Henry Robinson
brought some from Holland and placed
them in his ponds at Newbury, N. Y.
From these ponds they escaped into the
Hudson River, destroying every chance of
practical results from his effort. The next
importation was in 1872, when Mr. T. A.
Pappe, of Sonoma, California, made a trip
to Europe, and returning from Germany, as
a matter of private enterprise and specula-
tion, brought carp home with him. On the
5th day of August, 1872, five tiny carp
were, with much solemnity and many mis-
givings, planted in his pond. On the fol-
lowing May the original five measured 16
inches nisch and there were about three
thousand of \their progeny. Though it
looked like a speculative funeral on the day
that Mr. Pappe planted his five fingerling
carp, yet it was the birth of a bonanza of
which the farmers of the United States are
reaping the benefit, and our Canadian
farmers are only awakening to their own
interests in this direction. The success of
this venture probably had its effect on the
National Fish Commission of the United
States and contributed to the formation of
their purpose to bring carp to that country,
which they did in 1877. In the fall of 18g/9
273 applicants from 24 states were supplied.
The following year the applicants had in-
creased to 1,374. It is now estimated that
there are nearly 1,000,000 carp ponds in the
United States alone, though a new
industry it developed with Yankee ingenu-
ity.
There are three varieties of carp in this
country, viz.: Scale, Mirror and Leather.
On the Scale variety the entire body is
covered with
3cales, and is
generally
considered to
be the best
af the varie-
ties and very
Scale Carp. much the
more prolific. It is 60.i -it -led by some that
it does not grow as fast as either of the
other varieties. The growth they have
made for me has been quite satisfactory.
Hon. I. B. W. Steedman, in 1884, the chair-
man of the Missouri Fish Commission, says
that the Scale carp in the State ponds at
St. Louis reached a weight of eight pounds
in two years. Those who want more growth
than that are hard to satisfy.
The'Mirror carp is but partly covered
with scales, which are sheeny and bright
and beautitul, reflecting the, light in gor-
geous tints and colors, and from this pecu-
Frank's Great Speech.
Frank Lane is a bright boy of twelve.
He belongs to the Loyal Temperance Legion,
and the rest of the boys regard him as a fine
orator. He has many original ideas, and an
easy flow of -words. When Frank has a
apeech as pert of the programme at the
Legion, the other boys are sure to be on
hand to hear. Yesterday I went in and
heard Frank'a speech. He went to the
pletform and looking about earnestly, said
quietly:
"Last night I dreamed. I dreamed that
a great, white, flyiug horse came to me, and I
got on his back and rode out into the air. We
flew dawn to Texas, where there were acres
on acres of hops growing. They shook out
their green tassels as far as eye could see.
Then the hops picked themselves and fell
into a long heap and turned into a great
river of hops, and began to flow out far over
the land.
"Then we flew a little north, over Mis-
souri, and I saw corn fields—miles on miles
of corn fields. The corn stood straight as
soldiers, and tall as a man. In a little while
the corn picked itself and husked itself, and
fell into a long heap, and turned into a great
river of corn, and began to flow out over the
land.
" Then I flew on my horse still farther
north, over North Dakota ; and I saW field
on field all standing thick with rye; and it
waved in the wind like the billows of a
great green sea. Then the rye reaped itself,
and threshed itself, and fell into a river of
rye, and flawed out along the land. And
these three rivers united, and rolled on and
On.
"Thea I flew east, and perhaps it was
Michigan; and I saw whole farms of beauti-
ful tall barley. Its beards glistened in the
sun just like silver. And the barley reaped
itself and threshed itself, and fell into a long
heap, and turned into a barley river, and
rolled off across the land. And it met the
river made of the other three, and joined
them, and rolled on.
"Then I flew over Northern New York
and I saw great orchards. There were
thousands of trees full of apples. The
apples picked themselves and fell into
long heap, and rolled off like a river, and
joined the other four.
"And then I saw two great buildings.
They looked as big as the earth. They
were full of windows and chimneys, and
fires roared in them. The great river made
of five—the hops, corn, rye, barley and
applee—rolled right into these two great
buildings. My flying horse took me away up
over these buildings so I came where I
could see the other side, and there I saw the
river that had just rolled in, rolling out.
But it was turned into a river of beer and
whisky.
"It rolled over the land like a great flood.
It carried off men, women and children. It
awept down houses, and barna, and shops.
It carried away clothes and books and
furniture. It was ninety hundred times
bigger than the Johnstown flood. All be-
fore it was quiet and rich and green and
happy. All behind it was rain and wreck.
And I heard an awful cry of people wanting
to be saved from these rivers of whisky and
beer ! Then my horse flew back to my home
with me, and left me, I suppose, for the
next thing I knew, I was in my own bed.
And I wondered what we should do to keep
the beantifal hops and corn and rye and bar-
ley and apples from turning into a flood to
destroy everything. And why it is we must
let people have a trade of turning good
things into bad things."

commercial value ox any !arm. .No article
of diet is more healthful than fish ; with
a pond well stocked with fish on a farm,
it is no trick to have fish any day that they
are wanted. A fish pond adds to the home
attractions of the farm and makes it a
pleasanter place for tile sons and daughters
of the home, a place to bathe, to 'mat, to
skitte, and above all, a place to fish. Where
is the boy that does not like to go angling
for the finny tribe?
The ice harvest alone of many ponds will
pay better than any crop that could be
grown on the ground occupied by the pond.
My ice crop last winter was worth more
than double the best crop of grain I could
• have grown on the land. Every farner
should lay in a supply of ice for use in the
dairy department of the farm ; it will pay
a good dividend and in the heated
;mason it is always a luxury in the house.
CONSTRUCTION OF PONDS.
Many ponds are constructed by simply
building a. dam across a gulch or ravine,
which usually does very well unless there
be too mach water coming down in times
of freshets to endanger the embankment.
If such be the case the better way is to dam
the stream higher up in its course, and
from the backwater by means of an open
ditch or pipe conduct the water in jest the
quantities wanted to the pond, which may
then be located at your pleasure on either
side the bed of the watercourse and beyond
the reach of the overflow. About one
half of the pond should be from nothing
to eighteen inches deep, one quarter. of
the pond from eighteen inches to
three feet deep, and the other quarter
from three to six feet deep, and deeper
would be better ; that gives the fish warm
water in the winter and cool water to re-
treat to in excessive heat.
When ponds . are thickly stocked it is
necessary to resort to artificial feeding, and
the carp are not at all particular what you
give them; they readily devour any kind
of grain—which we usually boil—boiled
potatoes, and meat, which should be chopped
fine. They spawn in immense quantities,
depending upon• the temperature of the
water during May, June and July. I be-
lieve the carp is the most intelligent of the
fishes,as he soon learns to come when called
to his meals, by the ringing of a bell,whistl-
ing, or calling, "Fishy," "fishy." My ponds
afford me such an endless amount of pleas-
ure, to say nothing of the profit, that I
would not wish to do without them if the
cost of construction was twice as 'much.
Much more might be written. Hoping this
short article will be an incentive to many
a farmer to engage in this , pleasant and
profitable industry is the aim oi the writer.

Couldn't Sentence a Bride.
NEW YORK, May 27.—John Doyle and
Annie Brien were married in the Hudson
County Courtin Jersey City on Wednesday.
The couple had been engaged for some time.
The wedding day had not been fixed, but
Annie was out at service, patiently awaiting
the time when her affianced would have
enough money saved up to warrant them in
getting married. She was employed by
Mrs. Neil Campbell in East Hamilton place.
Annie is a tell, slender yoang woman, very
pretty, and loves stylish clothes. She loves
them so much that in a moment of
weakness, when she wanted to make an im-
pression upon her friends, she appropriated
a silk dress and wrap belonging to her mis-
tress. On being arrested, she pleaded
guilty and was remanded for sentence, On
Tuesday Doyle paid her a visit in the county
jail. Afterward he went over to the court
house and took Constable Wise into his con-
idence. He told the constable abont the
engagement, and wanted to know if it could
not be arra,nged to have the marriage take
place. Constable Wise told him the girl
eves likely to be sent to the penitentiary,but
the young man said that would make no
difference. He had confidence in her, and
wanted to marry her before • she was sent
away. Ile was willing to wait until the ex-
piration of her term to enjoy the honey-
moon.. Wise was impressed with the young
man's loyalty and evident sincerity, and,
telling him to wait a few minutes, hunted up
Judge Lippincott and told him the iicts.
The judge directed him to have Doyle come
to the court in the morning.
The young man was there a half an hour
before the appointed time. He told the
judge of his desire and determination to
marry the young woman. Annie was
brought over from the connty jail and the
meeting of the two was very affecting.
Justice Rusch was called in and he united
the couple. A few minutes later the bride
was arraigned before Judge Lippincott for
sentence, while the groom stood by her
side, looking pleadingly at the judge and
wondering what the sentence would be.
Judge Lippincott's features assumed a stern
expression at first, and the hearts of the
bride and groom fell to zero. Then his
features relaxed into a smile, and he said,
that under the circumstances, the court
would suspend sentence. The happy couple
thanked him with great fervor and left the
court arm in arm. They received the con-
gratulations of all the court officials and as
many of the spectators as could get near
enough to them.

Notes About Colors.
A dog belonging to Hercules Tyrius was
ne day walking along the seashore when he
ound and ate a murex, a species of shell-
sh. Returning to his master, the latter
oticed that the dog's lips were tinged with
olor, and in this manner Tyrian purple was
iscovered. The color was used in the
(ibex of emperors and nobles, and the ex-
ression "born to the purple" meant that
he person was of high birth. It is strange
o think that the favorite color of royalty
an be traced to the curiosity or hunger of
he dog of Tyre.
In the seventeenth century the favorite
olor of the Scotch Covenanters was blue,
and blue and orange or yellow became the
Whig colors after the revolution of 1688.
Green is the color of the Irish Roman
Catholics, while opposed to it is the orange
of the Orangemen or Protestants of the
North of Ireland.
