Fish Farming.

We publish on our outside to-day an article on
this subject, from the pen Of Dr. Ainsworth, Of
West Bloomfield, New York, giving a more
complete and satisfactory cunt OF the propaga.
tion OF shad and game fish in American waters
than has before been published. Public atten-
tion has been much attracted of late to the ex-
periments In the artificial breeding OF fish, and
as the subject Is one OF considerable local i'm
portance to this section, on account Of the shad
fisheries here, we are glad to give the aid OF our
columns in disseminating the practical informa-
tion furnished.
We hope something may be done to induce
Mr.. Green to visit our fisheries and give the
people chance to sec how the shad spawn are
so successfully manipulated, as was done last
season by him on the Connecticut river.
The New York CHi-en, Of the 4th instant, has
an article by Robert b. Roosevelt, an eminent
authority In hshcraft, suggesting some aid by the
National Legislature to the experiments In ash
breeding, as matter Of economy in increasing
the supply, and reducing the price OF fish for
1000, stating that mere State action has been
found inadequate to the occasion as the rivers
run through separate sovereignties the indiffer
ence or neglect OF one destroys the labor of an
other, and chickering's and uncertainties are engen
dered.
Here Is an immense national resource undo.
veloped. While the most favorable inyestmen ts
on land return nearly ten per cent. profit, and
require much labor and care, the water offers us
one with fabulous profits and little labor or ex-
psnse. Cultiyating the water 10 play In COM
parison with eultivating the land. The shad
frequents every important river on our coast,
from Florida to Maine, appearing SUCCESSFULLY
In stream after stream, as 1t gets warmed by the
summer sun. They are diminishing rapidly in
numbers, and without protection will soon be
extinct; they are being suppressed by improper
