Out of this large pond, Gottlieb — we can fancy how he devoured them with his eyes — saw, in 1822, the two largest breeding-carp placed in the scale, and their united weight amounted to nearly 100 Ibs., the male drawing 43 Ibs., and the...
Página 3 - ... an accumulation of water may immediately take place, sufficient for the protection of the brood or succeeding store. In the rainy season it is always advisable to let the ponds fill to the full extent of their prescribed boundaries, as this not only brings a large proportion of food from the adjacent grounds, but when the water is again let off or recedes, the borders produce luxuriant and tender herbage, peculiarly adapted for the food of carp, and upon which that fish feeds greedily in rainy...
