io Troitt Culture. 



What a lot of intelligence the wily fishes evince, 

 too, in doubling and baffling their pursuers ! 

 Personally, we would rather have a good day 

 at this than at angling. 



Again, what a charm there is in a well-ordered 

 hatching-house, with its thousands and thou- 

 sands of golden eggs covered with bloom like 

 a ripe peach ! Fish culture is indeed a charm- 

 ing amusement, free from cruelty, and full of 

 enjoyment for anyone who has a love for 

 Nature and her beauties. 



Some one may, doubtless, think that the 

 colouring of this picture has been laid on with a 

 too generous hand : let him try for himself, and 

 it is almost certain he will admit that there 

 has been no exaggeration. 



Some anglers celebrate the death of the first 

 fish with " a glass round " ; we, on the other hand, 

 inaugurate the existence of our first batch of 

 eggs in the same way, wishing them health and 

 long life.
