running water is available. pools in
which trout will thrive.
Practically every farm has facilities
for making small fish pond without
great cost. Usually this can be ac,
Gomplished by the erection of a small
and comparatively inexpensive dam
across a pasture brook. At cost al
together inconsiderable compared to
the profit this pond can be stocked
with sunfish, sinners, bass, perch and
bullheads, which would require com
paratiyely little attention.
