134 CONCLUSION. 



water. In a day's ride tlirongh some sections of 

 the countr}^, we have frequently met with a dozen 

 springs and streams that might be profitably 

 employed in this way. In France and other 

 countries of Europe, not only trout and many kinds 

 of still water fish are propagated to a great ex- 

 tent, but Salmon by thousands are reared to full 

 size in a very short time. In the northern and 

 eastern sections of our countr}^, but more par- 

 ticularlv near the Northern Pacific coasts, nume- 

 rous places abound, most admirably adapted to 

 Salmon. It is said that a thousand pounds of 

 fish in proper places can be produced at a tithe 

 of the cost of raising an equal quantity of meat."

Wishing the reader much pleasure every way, 

 but more particularly in his experiments in Pis- 

 ciculture, I bid him a kind farewell.
