careful cultivation and cultured taste during
the past seven hundred years in Germany?
And though millions of pounds of them are
annually placed on the market, the price per
pound yet remains so high that dish of carp
is beyond the reach of any but the wealthy.
When luxury began to sap the life OF the
great Roman empire, preparatory to Its de-
cline and fall at the time when more thought
was expended on the preparation of choice
dish for the table than on the most vital ques
tons of State policy, one of the daintiest
dishes, one thought good enough to be offered
with great draughts of nectar to the gods, was
carp and the tongues of peacocks; and all the
way down, through ten centuries, these most
beautiful of oil the finny tribe have been priced
as the greatest delicacy that could be offered
to the honored guest. In some parts of Eu-
rope the browning perfection of cuisine art is
displayed, at the winter wedding feast, in 4
dish of carp. Yet, despite all this evidence
to the contrary, a few Americans, who have
tasted carp out of season and carelessly
brought to the table, pronounce against them
by Styllng tnem an Interior uSH
Taking into consideration the cheapness of
land suitable for carp culture, and the innu =
merable unfailing brooklets that find their
way through the many low, swampy meadows,
with elevated banks on their sides, it occurs
to me that ere many years carp culture will
be carried on here on scale little less than
it is now carried on in Germany. In tina
country the business is and has been for years
great monopoly, kept within the sole con
troll of favored few princely land holders,
and prices are maintained at so high figure
as to keep these fish from the tables of the
masses.
To be the owner of a carp-pond, in Ger
many, is a synonym for milionsires, so great
are the profits, aud so highly is the flesh OF
these FISH priced. There they never think OF
placing their fish on the market directly from
the pond but keep them alive in great wire
bottomsd tanks, during the late fall and win
ter months, selling their first fish in Deeem-
Der.
