turuips, pumpkins, melons, etc.
The refuse of malt from breweries
and distillcries is also very good
! food for carp and wherever such
refuse can be had; it should be
given to the fish.
The small pisciculturists, bav-
ing a pond of perhaps one 10 two
acres Lear his house, will often lie
able 10 feed bis fish Oh refuse, as
he will always have it fresh from
the kitchen and stable.
In conclusion, | earnestly re
commend the culture Of the carp
to all pisciculturists. If the value
Of the carp for table use has once
been recognized, it viii! become a
highly esteemed fish, especially in
the neighborhood Of large popu.
lous cities, and it's culture will
yield a larger and more certain
profit than the expensive trout.
S.-EXTEST OF cARp.cULTURE IN
EUROPE.
In Europe many thousand acres
Of artificial waters are to be
found. In these enormous ouanti-
ties Of carp are bred. Some of
these ponds: or rather lakes, have
an extent of about 1000 to 1000
acres. They are provided with
gigantic dams, many OF them SIX
ty feet high. BY these the water
is closed in, into broad valley, con
taining no other fishes than carps
from four to FIVE pounds in weight.
If we consider the size ofthese
!ake.Iike ponds surrounded by
enormous dams which arc over
grown with oak-trees 100 to 300
years old, series ofthree and more
Of these lakes being not uncom-
mon. then we can form some idea
as 10 the remunerativeness Of
these establishments, particularly
in Bohemia.
The standard establishment
with regard to the most extcn-
sive business transactions is found
in Austria. The Prince Of
Schwarzenberg, of whom / have
spoken previously, possesses more
than 25O ponds of large size, the
smallest having about ten acres,
the largest 1000 acres water ex-
tent.
We find many villages where
ponds of fty to two hundred and
more acres are maintained at the
expense ofthe community.
9.-THE TABLE QUALITIES.
If the carp were a fish Of in
ferior quality, like the buffalo-fsh,
for instance, its sale would doubt
less be limited to the seaport
towns Of Northern Germany and
the principal cities of Central
Europe, as Vienna, Berlin, and
Paris. In the latter city, in spite
cf an abundant supply Of salt
water and different kinds of fresh
water fish, the carp is ever pre-
ferred to these, and, with the cx-
ception of trout and salmon, it
frequently commands price three
times as high as that of all the
rest.
maintain my assertion that
the carp, whether it be scale, mir
ror, or leather carp, Is one of the
most excellent fresh water fishes,
and it's introduction will be of
great value in point Of national
economy: especially on account of
the facility Of its culture and the
enormous extent to which this
may be carried on.
The carp and its value as fish
Of culture will before long be fully
appreciated so that we may be
enabled favorably to compare the
results of its culture in America
as also the extent attained TO,
with any other country, TO our
complete satisfaction.

THE CULTURE OF

STRUCTION OF
PONDS.
BY RUDOLPH HESSEL.
PART III.
5.-TAKING THE FISH FROM THE
PONDS.

PONDS.
The emptying out of ponds de-
mands the greatest caution and
attention. The water must be
made to flow off very gradually
through the several outlets, all of
which are to be kept open at the
same time: it requires frequently
from ten to eighteen days to draw
off the water. The fishes are
driven carefully and slowly with
boats into the principal bitches.
They must no. be chased on any
account, or they will bury them.
selves in the mud; occasionally
many thousands will do so within
q few moments, and will remain
there, pressed together closely,
and so perish through suffocation.
This is recorded as having occur
red from time to time, when, dur
ing the process of driving them
into the bitches, the fishes were
startled by some unknown cause,
and all sank into the mud instan
taneously. Through the impossi.
bility of extricating them speedily
enough, many hundreds and even
thousands perished, the owner sus.
tanning heavy losses in conse
quence. 10 guard against such
an emergency, preparations should
be made for an immediate supply
Of water in similar cases, in order
to save the fishes. If the fshing-
out progresses in the regular man.
ner, the fishes will by degrees
draw off from the bitches into the
collector. The collecting takes
from five to six days in large
ponds, containing frequently 100
to 400 tons of fishes. Care should
be taken, that crowding them to-
gether may be avoided. On the
evening before the fsbing.out,
when the water of the pond has
been diminished to the depth of
halfa foot, those fishes which have
been collected are shut off from
the pond by large net, and in
the early morning, at the dawn
of day, they are caught. AS so
large a number Of fishes cannot
be disposed Of at once, they are
transferred to the so-called mar,
ket ponds. from which they are
sold ~ degrees to ish-dealers
These market-ponds are quite
small, capable Of holding from
1000 to 5000 pounds of fish only,
and are supplied with running
water.
Those who never saw the fish
ing.out Of carp pond can scarcely
imagine the beautiful sight of SO
many thousand fine fishes, fat and
we'll fed, raising their high, broad
backs and thick, puffy lips above
the water, their heads side BY
side, all being nearly Of the same
size, weighing from four TO five
pounds, their bodies closely press
ing against each other, looking
like al immense herd of sheep
imprisoned in one large net upon
a circumference of 5000 TO 4,00(
feet. Closer and closer the circle
is drawn around them, until it:
extent measures only about two
acres, when they are caught by
thousands, weighed in lots of l0(
pounds, and then they are placec
in the market ponds. The pixies
which havereached an almost equa
weight, are put into pike-ponds
It requires often two or three
