readers who engaged in the culture of carp
we publish the following from the Green's
burg Democrat: MIR. J. G.. Cotton, resid-
ing on jacobs Creek, several miles from
Seottdale, is meeting with signal success as
a carp cultuTist Nearly two years ago he
built pond, 4Sx72 feet, and placed therein
at different times AZ fish Twenty-seven of
the number are now 255 and twenty IL
years OF age. Both lots of fish had fruit
tul spawn last summer. The spawn of the
Older fish now measure 61I inches, and those
OF the younger, 81 inches in length. Al
though he has never counted them, Mr..
Cotton is satisfied that the spawn of last
summer numbers thousands His pond is
supplied by living springs and Mr.. c. at
tributes the rapid growth of the young carp
to the fact that the cold water was not per-
mitted to pass directly into the pond, but
was tempered in the sun by long flow be-
fore entering. Nh. Cotton has lust com.
pleted another pond tnat embraces l Il acres,
into which he proposes to transfer the spawn
of last summer, at a suitable time.
