they will expec their meat as duly as horfes, and appetite in any 
creature waftes by difappointment. 
Any fort of grain boiled is good to feed with, efpecially 
malt coarfe ground. Peafe boiled a turn or two are as good. 
as any other grain. ‘The grains after a brewing, while they 
are good and fweet, are very proper; but one bufhel of malt 
not brewed, will go as far as two of grains. The chippings of 
bread, and orts of a table, fteeped in tap-droppings of good 
{trong beer or ale, are very good food for carps. Of thefe the 
quantity of two quarts to thirty table carps every day is fufh- 
cient ; and to feed morning and evening, is better than once a 
day only. : 
The place to feed is towards the mouth, at about half yard 
deep ;, for that: Keeps:the deep clean and fit, as a parlour to 
retire to, and reftin. ‘The meat plainly thrown into the wa- 
ter, without other device, will be picked up by them, and no- 
thing fhall be loft.. However,.there are feveral ways to give 
them meat, efpecially peafe, which are ufeful, as a {quare board 
let down, .with the meat upon it, by the four corners, whence a 
{tring comes; and made faft toa ftick like a fcale, is very ma- 
nageable. A gentleman had found out a very facile way to 
feed carps; worth noting, becaufe I have heard it was fuccefs- 
ful. He let down the very kettle in which the peafe were boil- 
ed, into. the water, and the. fifh would come and. take out: 
every grain. . . 
When you feed in the greater waters, where. the numbers : 
are alfo great, it will be a charge as well as trouble ; but. when : 
you take out the fith, and fee how they are thriven, you will: 
allow.
