A* tho subject of fish culture tc excit ing much Interest throughout theUnjted Suites, and millions of.dollars: ito being annually expended by the Government and tho various States for this urpose, I have thought a brief account of how it is managed might not be uninteresting to Jour readers. X am indebted to Hon. A. '. Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture, ant? If. O. J. Huste, Superintendent of Fisheries, for South Carolina, for tho following information : Tho art of artificial impregnation and hatching uf fish . eggs hr.s long been known and practiced in the civilized world, but at no period, in ito history, probably, has lt been so extensively and successfully carried ou as at present. Its progress ls watched with the greatest satisfaction in our own State and the liveliest interested is manifested in the work by our own beat eitlsens. Tn rt stocking the streams and ponds of tho State with the beet varieties of flehte- wo Eut into tho bando of, not s ce/talc class, ut the whole peoplo, a good and whole some article of food, the need of which is mucli felt. The Commissioner of Fish . and Fisheries of this State bas succeeded in placing in our waters A number of shad. California salmon, California (rout, Land Lock salmon and the German carp, and hopes to carry on tho work in future seasons to a-much larger extent. The California salmon are taken on McCloud river, California, and donated to th j different State? Government.-! They begin the ascent of the river in the month or August, seeking their natural snawnb. g grounds, near it8sourcc3, where tho water ia clear and shallow, and where they find grave1 ly beds suitable for.tho deposit of thel? eggs... They aro captured when going.up the river, for the purpeso. of procuring the spawn, which is done by mon proficient in the the art of fish culture. The eggs are forced from the, female by compression of the the nbdomeri; into dry pans, and are then covered with thc milt of tho male fish; which is taken in the samo way. They aro then thoroughly mani pulated and allowed .to stand tili im* pregnntion takes'pince, when they aro cleaned and placed in wiro troya in troughs of running water, prepared fer their reception, where they remain till the oye-spots on tho egg begins to devel op. They aro then packed in crates pre paratory to tho long jonrnoy across tho continent which they must undergo ero they reach their destination. There la probably nothing that takes so long a trip in this delicate embryo state aro these fish. The utmost care and pro caution ia taken in packing, so that usu ally they reach their destination with but small Idas. lu? packing, a crate about two foot square and six inches deep, made of white pino is used ; in the bottom of this is carefully laid a coat of fine green moss, gathered from tho rocks, on tho mountain sides, .and. on this a pieco of mosquito netting, just tbo~aiio of j the box, then a layer of eggs, and on thia another piece of notting, then moss, and 60 on nntil fivo layers of egos have been placed in, which usually filia tho box. Tho top is thon carefully oerowed down, nails not hoing used because the driving would Jar the eggs. Two of theso crates are secured firmly in a larger one made of slats, with an iee chamber between, and- ferns packed firmly oh all sides. A freo uso lot '.co is then resorted to on tho journey, to pre vent the eggs froirt becoming overheated en vo?te^ for, in such n. case, they would hatch and perish before, reaching .the hatching house/ where they* are to bo cared for until sufficient Bizs to bo re leased in the diff?rant streams.. There is nothing moro interesting than tho caro of these eggs'fsom tho time they, reach tho house. Tho fish culturist watches for their arrival ?anxiously and baila them with delight, z:\yhen .they.arrive the temperature of the water is taken, and if materially diff?rant from the water in which they are to bo placed, the weter le allowed to run on them until they aro about equal coolness. This is done to prevent too ?sudden a change, ns'it would provo very detrimental to the eggs.--? Hatching houses, io Which the trout family aro hatched, of which the salmon ls a species, are usually located near Bomo basin or soring, or tho source of some branch, affording at all times an ?abundant;supply of cool, clear water, with sufficient elevation: to enable ir> being..carried Into the houso, threo or four, fett nbovo tho level of tho. floor. It is taken up ot tho fountain-head and conducted ny means.of troughlng trough a Altering race (if necessary to secure water freo from sediment) into a largo settling tank just nbovo the hatching houso. This tank answers & two-fold purpose, In affording tho water an oppor tunity to BCttlo, and if ot any timo the supply of wafer is cut off, a sufliclont quantity is loft to run tho hatching house for twelve hours or moro. No tank should hold less than enough for this purposo. Tho water ia thea conducted in flumes into the -house, whore each through Is furnished with a regular supply. The troughs are mado of common pine, usu ally twolvo to fifteen feet lone, ten inches wide and about six Inches deep, Thoy ore tarnished Ano wire screens in either end* one where tho water comes in and tho clher juat where it flown out, thus tho young fish aro prevented from escap ing, the utmost caro and vigilance being necessary to confine them, owing to their wonderful proclivity for making new discoveries nod investigating every cor ner of their artificial homo. JSach trough ia fm-niahi'd with a set of wiro trays made fast in tho waters by means or small wedges, and can be removed from pince to placo at will. The eggs, when taken frost thc crates In which thoy are packed, sro. ul&ecd on thom wire toura and v&tcucd attentively, ovory day" until hatched, when tho t?ays arc removed and the fesh allowed to swim at will In the troughs, there remaining but IHtle to do tho wire ?creeos. 8uch is the..usual modo of hatching ibis variety of fishes but by no moans tho only one. Tho shad hev - \rrkd on-with dificrentapparatua aud ata diffe^t sea son of thoyearfrom thatof thaaatafon and iront, Their ej-g* must bo hatched out nea? where they aro taken, on account of their extreme, doUeate nature and. th? ?hort epaco of timo required iu hatching, ft being usually from four to five day?. .Tho advantages of artificial * propagation over nature ia readily seen when wo Bub mit a fo w figur?s on the subject. A good average female shad yields about twonty thonsand eva, and of thia number only from eight to ten p?r cont aro over im? pregnaled, aim ?u?ut ?iv? irer vant, reaten, j maturity.

'This is the third season since shad were artificially propagated and placed in t.t?rtorValid;ibif (Steh exceed, that for many ye?rs provient It wouldscera f?lr to attribute the increase to artlfloial propagation. There are those who do not believe that tho fish ever return to tha waters'in which they were released, who have never given the matter much thought, and are ignorant of the habits of the fish and the laws governing them. Wheo we eonsidr-r tbat for the small sum of twenty-five cents we can place a thousand shad io a river, when matured will weigh from four to seveu pounds each, and sell readily for fifty to seventy* five cents In our markets, it Is worthy our best efforts, and proper that every means should he used to add this cheap irticio to our food supply. THE (JBEAT WEST. Resources oftlte Lands TReyond the Mis sissippi. The United States is as yet compara tively, in its infancy. Heretofore impu tation has been'confined to the eastern {>ortioo of the continent, oven though it a much of it rough and unproductive. Tho richer portion, the central! waa iiid away until now. Men traveled over it, and aaid it was desert cr valueless. Grasshoppers swarmed from it, and men said people never csa live there; but they are living there, and thousands moro are coming. Some of the land that WAS called worthless may how be bought for five dollars per acre, other for twenty-five dollars, and there ia considerable call for it. For example, the demand this year for lands io the Ked River Valley nf the North has been unprecedented. In April the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Man itoba Railroad Company auld 27,401 acres; and since January 1,1880, this company bas sold 118.039 acres, the ave* rogo price being four dollars ana seventy* three cents per aero. Undoubtedly, other land-grunt roads huvo sold in the sarao proportion. It may be asked if there is mueh of this lana. Looking from the Mississippi River to the Pacific wc seo an area 2 4-10 times as large as all that part of the Union east of that river to the Atlantic. This great Weat would make thlrty-sovou Btatea as targe as Illinois, which was once called a largo State. When this western territory is as densely populated as Illinois waa in 1870 even, it will havo over ninety-six million people, whereas it nnw h?s only ono-fiflh our population. 3urelv there ia 'much land yet to be pos sessed, of tho very best sort, too-somo of it. An observing traveler in western Ne braska recently said : "Tho land hore ivttB trodden down hard by tho buffalo nnd herds of cattle roaming over it. So that whoo rain fell it did not penetrate below the dry sod ; but aa soon OB tho land is broken np, and the soil pulver ized on the turfoce, the rain wets down In some places fifteen feet." If thia be true, we DI ay expect that all these vast grazing areas will be cut up into farms, und owned hy tho industrious people who come to tho* agricultural States to moko themselves homes. This same gentle* man said : "Some idea of tho rush of emigrants to Nebraska this year could be gathered from the fact that on the first week of March. 1870, tho Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy Railroad took sixty* '.hreo car loads of emigrants into Ne* irsska at Plattsmouth ; while on the Irst week of March, 1880, the samo com pany took 169 car leads cf emigrants uta tho Stato at tho. samo place." This s only a repetition of what is being done >n all tho trunk lines from St. Louis to Duluth. What are the possibilities of this great and? It ia tho land of bread. Tnko Illinois and Iowa--the former has 85, 102,400 ncres, the tatter 35,228,800. In me yeer Illinois produced 283,081,000 M?u?i of corn, 25,329,020 of wheat, and >G,519,140of oats ; and both States pro* luccd 510,832,772 bushels of corn, wheat md oats. Minnesota has 53,459,8-10 tores, and of this 41,000,000 arabio land, tn ono year, with one-tenth of this forty n?Her? acres under tbs plew, its soil pro? lucod 31,475,000 bushels or wheat, 25,* r7?,000 of corn, and ??600,000 of oats, haking 50.250,000 in all ; when tho full ?opacity of tho State is called for, it can produce half a billion bushels. But Vest of her la Dakota, almost three limes is .largo as Illinois, and from present iroxpects will surpass even Minnesota as t wheat-growing Stato ; and west of Dakota is Montana, having 03,000.000 tores,.(I givo round numbers) ; of these 16,000,000 are agricultural ; 38,000,000 pasing; 12,000,000 timber ; 5,000,000 nineral ; 22,000,000 mountains-so it is laid. < 'Her grazing and agricultural arcas ure one-half larger than Illinois. Mr. Sargent, general manager of the North* ?rn Pacific Railroad, says the cattlo in tomo of these valleys graso ail the winter, ind fatten all tho timo. Tho specimens if wheat raised, he says, aro a much arger berry than even tho Red River ?heat, yet this vast .empira has hardly leen tnkon into account; very likely, m icon as tho Northern Pacific is completed t will attract immigration. Then tho (thor great territories must havo each heir attractions. To this great land tho Billionsi are coming from tho . ove? srowded countries of the Old World.

FATAL RESULT OE A RKI?OONTKK BE TWK?'N BROTHEBB.-For ?orno time psst a bad state of feeling has existed between Cy. and Tom Campbejl. coiorrd broth ers, who live un tho Kiatler place about a mile and a half South west of town. Cy. has for some time, it is alleged, carried a razor for his brotherhood I* charged fur the< with having said that he would an soon kill him as a snake. Laut Saturday they fell out over some trivial matter, and Cy. ran Tom out of the house. Tom is smaller than the other, and a cripple. Having cursed and abused him at a great rate, the aggressor followed him out of the door, with the supposed purpose of doing violence to hint, when Tom Rei zed a . hoe, and, after a warning which waa unheeded, struck the pursuer over tho head with it. Cy. fell and had to bo carried in the house. It was evident that he was badly hurt. Dr. M. W. Hill was called in arid, probed the wound and found a severe fracture. Monday he and Dr. Anderson went to remove tho broken bone from oiT the brai* and took out several pieces of tho skull. The brain was badly bruited and the man lay in an unconscious state until Wednesday noon when.he died. A post mortem examina tion revealed that the who!? left side of tho skull had beeb broken from tho arch down the forehead to the orbital bone. The slayer continued plowing from the time he dealt the blow until Wednesday morning, when he voluntarily came to town, surrendered himself tn Justice Stimson and was committed tu jail.
