OEDEE OF TOPICS. 11 



book has a special subject, it would perhaps be out of place 

 to say more about it now. 



Trout raising is that branch of Fish Culture most gener- 

 ally pursued at the present time. There are several rea- 

 sons for this — it is the best understood, one of the easiest to 

 practice, and the fish bring the highest price. In this trea- 

 tise we will try to commence where a person who wishes 

 to raise Trout would naturally require information. The 

 situation and laying out of Ponds will first be described, 

 and as those who start in the business generally buy or 

 otherwise obtain impregnated eggs, they will be told what 

 to do with the eggs, then how to keep the young Trout 

 raised from them. Afterward we will speak of the adult 

 Trout and of the process of taking eggs from them for other 

 crops. 



This book gives only a description of the method of rais- 

 ing Trout, but Salmon, Salmon Trout and Whitefish may 

 be hatched in the same way and with the same apparatus. 

 Perhaps at some future time the author may give to the 

 public a book on the culture of other Fish.
