AMATEUR FISH CULTURE 



snails, bivalves and Corixce ; and if you stock with 

 " ready made " fish, stock with yearlings in the 

 late autumn. 



The turning out of his fish in November will 

 also allow the amateur plenty of time to prepare 

 his ponds and apparatus for next year's opera- 

 tions. If the ponds are made on a stream, pro- 

 bably the very best place that can be chosen is 

 where there is a fairly sharp bend in the stream 

 just below a fall. An artificial fall can often be 

 made where the banks are high by damming up 

 the stream several feet. Care must be taken, 

 however, to avoid any risk of the ponds being 

 flooded.
