MANAGEMENT OF POND-FISH. 417 



Fifli, above the eyes. As this produces an inflanta- 

 neous effect, it would probably favethe cruel operation 

 of crimping or flaying fifh while alive ; as in the cafe of 

 Pike and Eels. 



It is obvious, that this method of regulating Fifh will 

 apply with its full effect in larger fpaces-of water : it 

 will likewife apply in a confiderable degree to fmaller 

 pieces : even where the change is but from a pond for 

 the ufe of cattle to a fingle canal in a garden. 



In filiations near the great inland manufactures, and 

 near the turnpike roads leading from an eafy diftance to 

 the metropolis, water may be made by this kind of 

 management, with little trouble or expence, to produce 

 a large annual rent. 



*** Mr. Marfhall was favoured with this paper on 

 Pond-Fijh by an eminent literary character in the 

 Church — " A member of the free Agricultural Society 

 at St. Peterfburg;" and the bell method of breeding, 

 feeding, and prefervmg Fifh, cannot but be efteemed 

 a valuable part of Rural Economics %
