which It is not indigenous No fish, indeed
except its congener. the gold fish, has been
SO much transported by man from one
place to another; and this has been the
more easily and successfully accomplished,
as the carp can subsist longer than most
fishes out OF the water. If only kept moist
The carp spawns in May and is out of
condition until July. Its fecundIty Is
greater in warm than in cold climates
They are very prolific, more than seven
hundred thousand eggs having been found
in the oyaries OF a single carp Of moderate
size Carp prefer quiet waters, with soft or
muddy bottoms Their food consists of
aquatic plants, worms etc 1t becomes
quite tame and can be fattened on lettuce
and similar pet vegetables as well as corn
mush boiled, potatoes and other articles
used On the table.
The carp is said to live to a great age,
even to one hundred and fifty or two hun
dred years The carp deposits its spawn
on weeds.
There should be care taken In the culture
Of carp. Like beginning any other business,
1t should be done intelligently- The pond
should not be left IN a crude condition, but
should have al the necessary ao!uucts to
successful culture
1t is said that much the larger quantity
OF carp now sold IN America are known as
the scale carp, being entirely or nearly
covered with scales These come from the
stock first imported from Germany The
second lot OF carp obtained by the Govern
ment were OF the parti-scale type. called by
the Germans leather mirror" '-blue

larger portion of the body being scaleless,
and each succeeding year the scales grow

kind sought after hy people who under
stand carp culture. Figures 1 and 2 are
the parti-colored American food carp.
These are the best obtainable kinds Fig

Carp may be raised n any sized pond that
viii have water three TO five feet deep The
bottom should be OF mud, SO as to pro-
duce good growth of aquatic vegetation
on which the carp may subsist- The sides
OF the pond should not be built up with
wood or stone masonry if it can be
avoided.
In regions where the ponds freeze over IN
the winter. alternating ground should be
made. This should be the deepest place In
the pond, and should be from six to eight
fest deep, with good bed OF soft mud at
the bottom When cold weather sets IN the
carp viii make their way into this ground
and remain until spring. No other fish
should be placed In the pond, nor should
water fowl be given freedom in it. 4 slzzice
should be put In each pond to regulate the
depth of the water and to draw the water
of. The discharge should be from the
bottom Wire cloth may be placed at the
bottom OF the sluice to prevent the carp es-
Gaping. Some carp cuIturssts divide their
ponds into three sections with deep place
near the outlet of each
Carp may be prevented from escaping
from a mill dam by placing wire netting
along where the water oFerdows- This

cold weather SO that 1t viii not be carried
