"Land farming aud water farming" was
tho title Of yesterdays lecture before the Farm
crs' Club, and perhaps many farmers would
find II profitable to take up fish culture in con-
ncction with land farming. There are many
farms in this State which have good springs
and good streams upon them. the former quito
capable Of supplying moderate sized ponds with
abundant water; the latter suitable for fish.
Tho State furnishes fry at tho nero cost Of
transportation. and the llttlo fellows in favor
able circumstances grow rapidly. There Ia al
ways a market for fresh fish, especially in tho
country. where they arc not abundant. A small
outlay in nsh fart'ing would in many cases pay
better than other kinds Of farming.
