u do not know, positively, but | pre-
sumo from tho fish commissioners at
Washington. ordered mine direct from
Germany"
"lolI me something about having separate
ponds for the different varieties of oarp.
DO you think it necessary to keep them
npartT | asked,
"Wcll, my iudividual opinion is that
they cannct DC injured at all by mixing tho
varieties" 2"
"Won't they hyhrel;zc?"
"llow can you hybrcd;zc animals Of the
Same species? Not at all. The leather
carp is the sgue species as the scale carp,
or carp propef, aud only differs in variety,
that's all. The mirror carp is q cross be-
tween scale cssp aud leather carp. They
aro all carp. DO not believe it will GO
harm to keep tho .hrcc varieties in the
samc pond, and you will fnd that am
right by experience. Common sense tells
MO this, but if an mistaken IN ac.
knowledge my error. This is point on
which some of the fish men differ, but NY
ideas arc pretty well made up, aud even
in tho face Of al my expenditures, | um
satisfied to let the three varieties remain
together"
"IIuvo you anything else to say about
the best fond for carp?"
"A favori.c food for them ia blood They
seem to like il better than anything else,
though they cat anythng almost. All
refuse offal is good fol tHc,n. /! would pay
for cue to own meat chopper aud cut up
everything in the way Of old meats, but
they fairly smack their lips over oongealed
! ~, "A T.
told nc the other day that when Il horse
dies over in Grimany they take him to u
carp pond aud duup bin iu. They pick
his booes until they are as white as cotton.
They will piok mans bones the aalnu way
thou:.h | don't want to give them chance
Of mine. 1t is good cvcaing to fellow
who goes to the bottom; he will como out
With hlcachcd bones every timo in IL carp
pond. But they will not try to catch any
thing alive except worms.
"Y,um may tell the Gonsii'utiou that unless
the fish and ponds have every possible at
tention, it is money ,hrown away and fish
killed to start into the carp industry |
want to itnprcss this fact especially. Like
everything else, they must bc attended to.
No fish can tc,kcpt IN still water without

AnaSl believe this is true Mr. Wri.ht

urc and profit. lie is coiug to build O
third rond shortly and stock it with nike
pcro!., a fast"srowinr fish from Germany
that is very game. Ii is not sluggish like
tho carp, bu. flies around and bites at anv.
thing. 1t is considered very fine. Thcy
have already been ordered. Mr.. Wright
further said that he thought it would be ]
erand idea to introduce The German barb
into this county. Like the Carp it's ro
