LEATHER CAKP.
There is a I'tniinioii fUh in sonio of our
streams nnd waters, n liony, worthless -n-a-ture
that is sometimes called a carp. i-uti'l
U) mislinl by that, but get only the (ierman
carp, tho "genuine yacdh." 'J'he real carp is
of the gold (Uh family. There are tliri-o
SKH'ies, tlio scale, the minor and the leather.
The latter is that shown in the illustration. It
is called the 'leather" enrp, lint liecauso it is
tough, but liecause its sl;in is soft and scale
less. There is a government publication called
"Carp an 1 Carp Ponds," which is also to lie
had free for tho askim;. It is written by C.
W. Smiley. Write lor it to the United States
fish commissioner's ol'.icv, Washington, D. C.
CAKP POND.
Wherever there is n small natural !ody Jf
water, it 'an bo utilized. A pond 100 by -"0
feet will be large enough to supply a family,
though one of an acre or two will enable the
wner to sell fish, lct willows frinj the
banks and pond lilies grow in tho waters.
It can In made in pretty ornamental shapes,
round, oval or Maltese cross pattern. A run
ning stream or swampy groun 1 at the f.xit cf
hills can also lx utilized for a IL-h poml.
The illustration shows a pond of very sim
ple construction. In making it, a w rit-r in 'Hie
Southern Cultivatorsays that he simply built
damns high as he, wanted it, and saw how
fart he water would back. Next, he writes:
"I theft went far enough above and started a
ditch to take all tho wutor from around the
pond, except enough to supply the pond and
keep a small stream running o:I. In tlio
figure I) is the dam ; A is a wat-r way with a
wire gauze across it to keep in the fish; B
is a ditch running above the head of the
pond; C is the feed pipe which may heoened
or closed at will. With this anaugeiuunt
liigh water never affects the pond.
Fish eat Tip '-wigglers,"' and so keep nfl
inosmiitoes. Mosquitoes and malaria are said
always to exist together, and it is quite pis
tsiblo the -arp will also tut the vegetable
germs which ore lelieved to pro-luce malaria.
The ponds must have un outlet and nn inlet
The outlet should have ueross the mouth
some kind of perforated coverii:;;, to pivvftit
tho escajie of the fish. Wire cloth screens are
recommended in "carp ponds.'' Mr. Smiley
uses three of these, of ilillVivnt fineness, placed
ut intervals. The water must lm drawn off
once or twice a year to get out rubbish,
snakes and outsiders destructive to carp.
Ice ponds may be well utilize 1 for fi-Ii.
Ponds should le not Ii-mj than three f'-t Ml
depth in their deepest part, says the govern
ment report, and they should gradually lessen
to a depth of one or two incbi-s, M provido
tho shoals required for spawning. Small
knolls and islands should he removed, as they
generally afford harbor for the enemies of
carp.

at u ashington it appears Umt in many coun
ties, as ha l-en preiUcted, the crop is total
' failure, and i6wbert la tb ttate U it tr an
average. TU same story come from all di
rections promising condition and good
growth till the middle of June, and from that
timo forward u series of calamities which
have resulted in tho most disastrous
failure ever known to growers. The
llrst enemy rneouiiU-rod was tho Aphis,
or plant louse, which made its ninr
aneo during June in unpitvtHlented numWin
and severity. The usual remedies for this
jn-st wero tried, but with little apparent
effect, and tho plants attacked made but,
sickly progress. Following as the result of
this attack of plant lice (Aphides.) thero Las
been widespread damage from honey dW. In
some yards thU substance has been found lu
quantities suflicieut to produeo a miniature
shower, blackening tho ground bftieath tho
vines, No section of the suite has apparently
psca)ed this attack, and in some the enfeebled
phuits have l)een visited by mildew and other
blights, so that it is estimated that 15 Jer
ceuti. damage has been done tho roots of the
vines.
According to commercial authorities tho
crop of the state last year was from !" (XX)
to 17.VXX) bales of Impounds each, of suivrior
(piality, while estimates of the crop of this
year range from .",(HM to lo.WM bales of very
inferiur quality. Since the irreparable dam
age to tlio new crop has become apparent
prices have already risen from . to S 1-U cents
to " anil ;io cents per pound.
Mr. Immiet Wells, of New York, an au
thoritvon the subject, says: "The crop in
tins state will bo about 10.INM bales, the qual
ity of which will be hiuiply trash. There are j
o.imm lu-ewers in tue Linte.i Mates; it is
doubteil if New York will be able to give
each brewer one bale of decent hops. The
failure is the most complete on record. The
Pacific coast is extct il to turn out 4",lioi)
hales of lino hops; these with the old ones on
hand will go a good way towards supplying
our home blowers tho coming season. Large
quantities of Kuglish and Herman hops will
liud market here if our prhvs are high.''
Mr. Joseph W, Forwixid, llotickville, N,
Y., gives expression to the following remarks
on tlie Aphis: "The cause of the damage is
lice, which live on the sap of the vino. They
come iu t: e spring in tho sha)K? of dormant
flies; these lay many eggs and in a short time
they lieeoiue lice, whHi very soon generate
w ith great rapidity and continue to reproduce
until something do.ti-oys them, or they do ns
they have done this year, starve to death.
They suck tho sap from the veins of the leaf
and tho vine; their secretion is tho honey dew
that shows itself on the leaf and vinos, and
seems to stop the circulation of tho sap from
the root to tho top of the vine. This year
they came on earlier and much more numer
ous than ever before, nnd have virtually de
stroyed tho crop. Many thought tho fly a
new kind this spring, but this is a mistake, as
I have noticed them for the last eighteen
veal's. They generally come from the t!0th of
May to the Ithof June, but this year there
were some complaints as early as the first of
May."-'ew York World.

Olil Time Way of Keeping Apples.
At a recent meeting of tlio Kentucky Stato
Ilorti -'ulturtd soi.iety an old nienilxir told how
forty years ago tile farmers used to keep
upples fresh and cri p until Juno. Their
modu was to put tho fruit up in banks, just as
many now save swe t potatoes in the south.
At timo of harvest a spot of high, well
drained land was selected ujion which to bank
the apples. Here was scoop. d out a sort of
saucer shap'vl bo' torn, upon which, aftoi
covering with an iu-.'h or so of straw, wui
piled the tipples, covering the same with sum
six or eight inches of straw, and then witt
enough earth to keep out the frost; no) unfre
oiientiv, however, covering I ho whole with l
layer of mxIs to protect the same from wa-h '
ing. A hole win opened on the south -i.J. ol

Hyacinths.
Th most desirable of the spring -blixmiing
bulbs ar hyacinths, tulijis, the crocus and
narcissus and snowdrop. It is not yet too
late to plant auy of them in tho open ground
to bloom next spring. It must bo done be

The hyacinths will l tho llrst favorite.
Their variety is infinite. Beg spare bulbs
from your neighbors, or buy them from a re
liable llnrist, leaving him to select the kinds.
Have the hyacinth lied dug deep and thor
oughly enriched with well-rotted barnyard
manure. H-t the bulbs six to eight inches
apart and four inches underground. Minglo

sand. I:i tho north and northwest a covering
of leaves or straw should In' put over the
bod at the approach of the coldest weather
and allowed to remain till the plants (icop
through iu spring. Plant different kinds to

The hyacinth is n favorite flower for forc
ing into winter blooming. Tho white Roman
hyacinth can bo brought into bloom by
Christmas. When tho (lowers are wanted to
bloom in winter and early spring, Vieks'
Magaino says each bulb should lie set inn
live-inch pot, with the soil just coming to its
nook. Water with a fine spray nozzle and
put in a dark, cool, though not cold place for
six weeks or two months, liy that timo the
roots w ill be develop, tiivo them a little
'water from time to time if they are dry.
Turn out. the hall of earth carefully to see if
! the roots have tilled it. When they have
done so, bring your hyacinth into the light
and to a slightly warmer plueo. It does not
want to be too worm. Then it will bloom
iMJunteously uud till t ho air with fragrance.
To bloom the bulbs in vases of water
hyacinth glasses tho water should just
reach tho base of the bulb, and, as Ud'ore,
the bulbs should then ho sot in a cool, dark
place until they have sent their roms to tho
bottom of the vase.
A fter the bulbs potted in earth have lioen

Dr. V. It. Jones, the accomplished agricul
tural writer of The Southern Cultivator, be
lieves with enthusiasm that the grains and
gntsses will grow in the south. They should
Ik' planted early, however, ho thinks, prefer
ably in Septemiio:'. A good, strong autumn
growth will lie to them in the south what
winter snows are in the north.
On light, thin soils it is lictter to sow grass
.seed, without an other grain, nnd ho insists
on heavy seeding, with very thin covering,
and the thorough use of tlio roller.
r. Jones finds that what is culled the win
ter grazing oat of middle I ieorgin withstands
cold and does not rust, as far as ho has hud
cxiK-rienee of it. His crop was sown Oct. Ill),
though that is rather late. With barley and
rye his advice is as follows: To some extent
barley and rye can Ikj made to take the tdace
of fall oat.s barley on the richer and rye on
tho poorer lands. With these cover the bare
cotton fields during the winter and save them
from washing and leaching. Simply harrow
in the seed don't break up the land nnd in
crease the facilities for washing. AVlien
green these crops enn Intent and fed to horses
and cows; when matured they can lie har
vested, threshed and ground and make most
excellent stock feed. Rye straw commands
ivndy sale for filling in horso collars and
other purjsises, but the stalls and stock yards
may well dispose of it all. Our soils cry
aloud for humus let us ttkft every opjior
tunity to supply it. Some one has suggested
that oats and rye might, ho sown together
if the oats should bo killed the ryo would not
nnd the land would still lie occupied with a
desirable crop. Wo see no objection except
the unequal rieiiiiig of the two crops, hut as
rye will remain standing wit limit waste for
some time alter it ripens it could wait on tho
nal I' pou the whole the suggestion strikes
II, as a good tine, worthy of being tested by
trial. ' '
