rainbow exhibits upon the California trout and tlie bright 

 red spots upon the brook trout. We feed only beef-liver, 

 but the animal life that clings to the i^lants counteracts 

 any taste the beef -liver might < onvey to the trout. Our 

 supply of water is inexhaustible ; hence this is a large factor 

 of success. Our ponds are separated from the main spring 

 I)ond by a dirt lever. The English watercress covers our 

 pond, and each sixty days we have to thin it out or it will 

 be impassable for the trout to swim in. This article is 

 lengthening out, I fear, to a size of interest to the writer 

 only, and I will say that any reader of same that may wish 

 any items of our farm they will be cheerfully furnished 

 upon application. Any pisciciTlturist reading this will see 

 that the writer is not of his class, but rather a poor excuse for 

 an amateur, but the facts are here to show for themselves. 

 We have rainbow and brook ti-out 13| inches long at that 

 number of months old.
