 who have occasion to use artificial fishfood 

 and who have been willing to try new and un- 

 familiar preparations. It consists of differ- 

 ent ingredients, compounded by Mr. Bart-

 all preparations and compounds of doubtful

 Atlantic. All fishes like it and thrive well 

 on it. 



Shrimps, the larvae of the Ephemerides, 

 both dried and crushed, and the Daphnias, 

 or water fleas, dried, form a good and 

 serviceable fishfood, willingly taken by all 

 fishes. 



All water turtles can be fed with ant eggs, 

 earthworms or scraped lean meat, but the 

 feeding has to be done in the water, as on 

 dry ground they would refuse even the most 

 tempting morsels.
