Fish Culture.

The editor of the Norway Advertiser re-
Gently visited ''Ice Spring Trout Pond" and
thus speaks of the rearing of fish there:
"About one year ago, Messrs. A. b.
Crockett and F. II. Holmes of Norway, made
a preliminary visit to the Cold Spring Trout
Pond in Charlestown, N. H., and at once
set about putting their plan for. the raising of
fish into execution. The waters on the
stream were damped, thus creating an artl-
fetal pond; and below the dam, the necessa-
ry works for the keeping, Matching and rear
ing of the finny tribe, were built. These
comprise three ''ponds" and "hatching
house" The first pond is 80 feet long, the
second 2S, and the third 20; and each is
feet wide by l-2 feet deep. In one pond
are the common brook trout; in another,
lake trout; and in the third, salmon trout.
These latter are furnished by the State, who
pay Messrs. Crockett and Holmes for their
care and trouble, and when Of sufficient
growth are to be put into the little Andro-
scoggin River. When we were there the
Matching process had commenced. The
spawn is taken from the fish and placed in
Matching troughs in the Matching house. These
troughs, three in number, are constantly sup
piled with fresh water. The best feed tor
young trout is raw liver, reduced to the
finest possible particles. When liver canno,

six months the young trout are ready to be
put into the open ponds. The essentials o.
trout raising are good water and plenty of it
proper and sufficient food and cleanliness
The number of eggs which have been placed
in these troughs of Messrs. Crockett and
Holmes, as near as can be estimated, are 2l,-
$50 salmon, 10000 lake trout and about 20,
900 brook trout. The loss of eggs is about
5 per cent. That is to say, 50 per cent, OF
the eggs are Matched and reared.
