The dower spike is really pretty and were it not for the large, coarse herbage •tamping it unmistakably as a weed, it might even claim a place among or­ namental plants. It is propagated by underground root-stocks as well os by seed. These root-stocks, which are really under­ ground stems, extend angularly from the parent plant to a considerable dis­ tance, sending up a stalk from each node; from°this habit the young plants flERMANOnn ( t e it c r iu m o a n a d e n s e ). have the appearance of having been set out or planted in rows. The flowers are of grotesque* and singular form, .like so. many of the labiates. Germander has been used to some extent in medicine. Its habitat is partial or .entire shade, seeming to prefer neglected shrubbery, borders of groves and orchards, and shady fence corners, avoiding-open and cultivated fields. Thus it does not become trouble­ some to any g rea tex ten t During the latter part of July and the forepart of August its curious pale, purplish flow­ ers may be seen in abundance. These send fprth a delicate, mint-like fra­ grance and each blossom is followed ,by an open cup containing three or four seeds.—Prairie Farmer. ASHES FOR PIGS. P rinciples _in On* o f th e M ost Valuable H u t Fm ilin r. Theodore Louis several years ago ' brought out as a result-of his farm ex­ perience.the excellent effect of feeding pigs a daily ration of- ashes and salt minted, with the top layer of decom­ posed stone .that covers the sound rock of this section in Dunn county, Wis. The remarkable success of Air. Louis in raising pigs and the uniform splen­ did appearance of his stock brought considerable attention from thoughtful farmers. I t was evident that he had struck upon a valuable principle in pig feeding. Prof, Ilenry then took up the question in a series of exhaustive exper­ iments and demonstrated the great value of these substances, in the daily food of the pig. Here was exact scien­ tific knowledge confirming the prac­ tice of Mr. Louis. Every farmer that tried it found the same result. They noted the great improvement in the brightness and health of their hogs; ‘’that is, if they were caring .for them in a decent manner otherwise. The results of Prof. Henry’s experiments can be 6imply stated: Three pigs were taken at five months of age and closely con­ fined and fed corn meal and hardwood ashes for six weeks.* During this time they gained five and a half pounds each per week and consumed twenty- eight and a half pounds of corn meal .per week. For thirteen weeks there­ after they were fed no ashes whatever and fell off in the consumption of corn meal to the average of nineteen and three-fourths pounds each per week, and made a gain of only two pounds each per week. Several other exper­ iments were tried, all showing the same approximate results.—Chicago inter Ocean. t — ------- ------------- -— - FARM FISH PONDS, H ow t* Mnk« T h em and H ow to T aka Car* or T heir Inhabitant*. The carp is one of the most easily accommodate^ of fish. I t does not ask for spring wate^ a running stream, a low temperature, or even for any feed­ ing. Give it a mud hole with water in it and some aquatic plants, and it will live and give quite a useful supply of excellent food; but let it have a clear pond dug out of a swamp, with ji. spring or two in the bottom to furnish plenty of water, and a bed of water­ cress with sedges and other water plants to furnish the suitable food, and It will contribute abundantly to the provision of the farmer’s table. A range of carp ponds may be made in this manner: I t is indispensable tha t the bottom should be soft and muddy. The carp is a hibernating fish, and lies through the winter a t the bottom of the water, with its he*d stuck in the mud at the verge of a spring or in a deep hole where the wa­ ter is the warmest. For this reason the ponds are the better for being made in . springy ground. I t is desir­ able to plant water cress on the edges made shallow for the purpose, and .to encourage the growth of such plants as the marsh marigold’ (Caltha paluttris) and the duck -weeds and .the pond weeds and other similar vegetation. The fish feed on these and where they abound no feeding is required. A few water .lilies are doubly useful as af­ fording food, and for their beauty. The ponds may. bo of any length, but it is desirable to have them narrow, as the fish must be* taken with dip nets, and will rarely take a hook, although I have known them to take a bait of stiff flour paste quite freely at times. My ponds were too wide—10 feet—-and 13 feet is better, bnt only on this account. I was very much surprised, after" a heavy rain, \vhieh raised the water'to the extreme'edge of the marsh and had made the ground quite wet. to seo tho fish taking French leave and going by scores to the stream across' the wet ground, a distance of 800 or 400 feet, and a.large number escaped before I could fence them in with some boards. This, I was told, was a habit of ■ this fish, and one of my mon, a Bohemian, who lias been used in his native coun­ try to the care of carp ponds, said he had known ponds to have been com­ pletely emptied in this way. It is there­ fore necessary to fence in the ponds to evade this curious habit of the fish. It is. quite easy to capture the fish, when it is desired, by taming them by occasional feeding with the dough or small balls of well-boiled >and adhesive cornmeal mush, which they take eager- Ty, and are thus easily dipped out with a scoop n e t There are two kinds of carp, ’tho ■“scale” "and the “leather” carp, but there is no choice between fll H H * A-—INLET.

When I first procured mine they were seven or eight inches long, and spawned the first year, fixing the eggs to the grass which overhung the water and was submerged in it. The second year they were large enough for use, and made a most acceptable addition to the domestic supply. But they must be well fed to make a quick growth, and the pond must not bo crowded This will he prevented by having the screens between the •ponds of half-inch mesh, through which the small fish can escape to the 'lower ponds, The fish may be driven from one pond to another through the gates, and in this way the large ones may be kept in the upper pond and the sinull fry lower down; My ponds paid all the cost .of them the first year by the ico they furnished, and ns the farm was run as a dairy, this supply was quite valuable. Another valuable return was the mnek that was dug out and used for litter in the sta­ bles and for compost, and still another was the water cresses grown in tho shallow water; of tho lower pond. This brought me ,5 cents a peck basket in tho New York market, and 81.60 per To Teach a Colt to Lead. basket in the winter from the part of Three lessons of about fifteen min- the pond which was protected by hot- utes each will usually accomplish i t I bed sashes.
