Trout Culture.


A VISIT TO coMFt n rs FISH PoNDs-AN INTEREST
ING AND PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
NIEssRs. EprroRs being interested in the
subject Of fish culture ! yesterday paid lying
visit to the farm and fish grounds OF Jeremiah
Comfort near Spring Mill, in Montgomery
county. Mr.. Comforts place is located IN one
of the pleasant and fertile valleys OF Montgom-
cry. on which rises strong spring OF the plirest
and softest water, which supplies his trou,
ponds, and an abundance for his family ana
stock. Mr.. Comfort has some ten Thousand
trout in various stages of growth, from one 10
ten inches in length The fish OF dinerent ages
and sizes are kept in separate ponds and troughs.
Like the bipeds Of creation the big fish have an
updyng propensity for denolishng the little
ones. In one pond, twenty by six yards III
length and width, and some six feet deep, were
thousand as fine fish as one need want TO iook
wear and half old. 1t was very interesting to
see the hearty, shining fellows, swarm to the
surface in shoals of hundreds, for their chopped
liver, plunging, diving and floundering over eacn
other, in their eagerness to seize their iood'
A chance grasshopper, alghting on the surface,
was received with cordial welcome, winch soon
smothered him in hospitality.

illness. judcious feeding, and constant supply
of fresh water passing through their ponds an,
troughs, for which purpose their construction
appears to be well adapted.
The Matching troughs, and those containing TIN
small fry, are placed in long frame building
near the head of the spring, both for protection
from the sun, and security from y YER AM
birds, that delight in diet of fresh fish.
As they grow they are transferred to til
ponds outside, when the depth and constan
supply of fresh water is sufficient protectio
from the sun. ., :.
The subject of fish culture is attracting i'll
crcasng attention over the country, both as =
source Of profit, and an addition to provision TO
home consumption, not to be despised. An
