TIME OF HATCHING CARP EGGS.— A very great interest 

 has been awakened all over the country on the subject of carp 

 culture, and I desire to make use of your columns to answer 

 one. or two questions which ate almost daily propouudod to 

 me. First, As to what ape the carp spawns.' The German 

 authorities say that they spawn at three years old, but in this 

 latitude wo have established beyond a doubt that they spawn 

 attwo years, j cthe hatching of L881 should spawn the 

 present spring. Second, As to the period of incubation? Dr. 

 Ilessel, in his work on carp culture, states that they will hatch 

 in from twelve to sixteen days. Tlus, I have uo doubt, is in- 

 tended to cover the time of iucnb ition in Germany. The tem- 

 perature of the water has much to do in determining the time 

 it takes eggs to hatch. In my last report, made to the Com- 

 missiouer of Agriculture of Georgia, I gave the results of an 

 experiment, showing that wit Ii the temperature or the water 

 at sixty -nine degrees the eggs hatched in from five, to six days. 

 Bui experiments made 'luring the present year with a higher 

 temperature of the water, say at eighty-five or ninet . 



-strates the fact that they will hatch in from torn- 

 2venty-two hours. The carp secuts to delight in 

 high temperature. The water on the surface of 

 our ponds here frequently is over ninety degrees. It is not 

 uncommon for caip to attain a length of ten inches during the 

 first year, — H. H. Gary, Supt. Georgia Fish Commission.
