 atiniiof scieatinc principles, but merely la 

 for them. First . let m xpi ik of small ponds. 

 swerfoi- famih n-e. One with eight or ten square rods in it- 

 will, with aood rare and atteiiiio-.i. produce as many (ten as 

 any cue family can use. Df course, the larger the pond the 

 better, h matt - In I liuh ditVerei ee how they are made or 



in the'du-j.est part, with eoii-.ider.ihle shaih.w water, "in von 

 cold eliiualos. where waler freezes to a eoiisiili.ra.lile depth, 

 of course the water in ponds should besufficieatly deep as not

! u all the water mav be drawn off without injuring 

 the dam, and next to separate the (ish if desired; also' to see 

 if there is anytuiar "wrong, or any enemies to the fish in the 

 water, This* box m .'n be made of four hoards sufficiently 

 tongto reach through the dam. The two sjfle-h arels should 

 havea groove rut aer..-, them about six in. -lies from the end, 

 deep and broad enough to a imit a gat ■ Til -s I si,l ..|, ., ,,,- .].. 

 ■:'-.. id. : -. • , ■ . : "..■■.n-.i. . I"- ends erossing even, and 

 the top board coining jual against the -ale. Fn.ui the irate 

 to the ends, of the side and bottom boards it sin -old be covered 

 •with three tw b-ini h strips, crosswise. The one nexj to the 

 ga re and the, one at the end should be nailed smoothly and 

 tirai, Now you want, a wire screen over the end of the 

 box to keep the fish from going out when you draw the 

 Wftter off fan old wheat riddle will make a good one). 

 Now the two-inch openings on top are left, in case of but 

 a small supply of water, so that y..u can till in with earth so 

 as to prevent am leakage : ' n with a : .> al ilow of water this 



top space may be covered solidly, omitting the earth tilling. 

 This is the end in I he pond, and completes the dam. in 

 making dams 1 prefer, and think it will pay. to board them 

 up cm both sides. Have, sa y, four stringers,' two on a side, oue 

 at, the top and one at t'h- bottom.' Then set the boards 

 agaiust them, driving them down w.dl. This saves all wear 

 and tear of the dam. Across and on top of (he dam there 

 must be awaslebox ro carry off the wafer, This may be 

 made of three boards, one oil each side and one oh. the bot- 

 tom. The upper end of this should also be Screened to keep 

 the young fish from going on r ; the common wire gauze is 

 good for this. The pond should have plenty of water-cress, 

 lilv and grass, or some aquatic vegetal. on m it. for several 

 reasons. First it gives suelter ro toe lish; -c.-ond. there is a 

 vast quantity of food derived from it and its accumulation,; 

 third, it is indispensable, for on it the lish depo.dt 11. 1 1 rn.e.va 

 ings. Tile eggs are adhesive and stick, or adhere to the 

 sprigs or branches, and without this the eggs would lab to 

 tne bottom in the mud and be lost, there is no need of, 

 neither should there be, any gravel or stone, in the pond. 

 Sow we have a pond we must protect it, and to do this we 

 must have a goad canal or ditch all around it to carry all the, 

 surplus water away and not allow any overflow. This all 

 done, wu have a, pond ready for the water, which may lie 

 warm or cold, fresh or salt, as the history of these fish proves 

 that they will adapt themselves td all waters; but the 

 warmer the water the better up to one hundred degrees, and 

 the faster will be the growth or votn fish. The water should 

 be kept at or near a uniform depth. The Uow of water is im 

 material, so that there is plenty of life in it. Of course tin 

 greater the llow the better (.so yon can control it), and the 

 greater number of fish can be crowded into a giveii space,—

A GOOD SCHEME.— A citizen of Padueah, Kv., recently 

 became possessed of a litter of pups of a worthless breed, but, 

 being a humane man. was averse to slaughtering them. So 

 he proposed to the captain of a steamer that 1 



Id take 



D pu 



then 



The captain told the oi 

 with mosquito netting, 

 Florence, Ala., at a value of $25 each. This was ffcine ,i 

 the basket of pups placed at the foot of the cabin .-tairway, 

 where they were surrounded by an admiring throng, the cap- 

 tain occasionally speaking a good word for them. Before the 

 boat reached John-'ouville every pup in the basket had beeu 

 stolen and spirited away by admirers of choice dog flesh. 



MORE BEAGLE CLASSES WANTED,— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: In your issue of February s, I am much pleased 

 to see, Mr. J. M. Rergold .second Mr. Elmore's letter of last 

 fall. I fully agree with Mr. B. in his remarks and should like 

 to add my name to a list, which I hope you will have before 

 long, asking for such changes as will bring out, a grand dis- 

 play of hounds at our bench shows, with classes arranged so 

 we can show all our good ones of different types. I also hope 

 the admirers of beagles will let us hear from them on the 

 subject through your valued journal.— W r . H. A.suuuh.vku

CHOREA often follows distemper, aud when recovery fol- 

 lows the twitching will only occur after too much exertion. 

 The treatment consists in giving 14-12 grain strvehnia three 

 times a day, giving less if this causes the dog to ''stiffen out" 

 any, ■<. e., have a kind of tonic spasm, increasing gradually 

 until 1-16 grains can be taken, the idea being to keep just 

 short of the dose which causes this spasm or stiffening of 'the 

 muscles. Cod-liver oil should be given if needed, as shown by 

 emaciation. Good living and a dry kennel are necessary 

 adjuncts to a cure. 



THE WASHINGTON SHOW.— Bv the time this is pub- 

 lished the entries will have closed. Lp to the time of writing 

 the entries so far received are very good, and include the best 

 dogs in the country, nearly all the crack champions are
