By artificial propagation, as itis pow beginning to be carried or, the en- tire bottom surface of all streams near the sea, and estuaries also, cas be made to yield crops in this proportion. But great as will be the business of raising oysters on our coasts a century from now, it will bear but small com- parison with the cultivation of fish. This will be carried on in three branches. The most important will be their propa- gation for market in the waters of the in. terior, which will afford opportunities hitherto undreamed of for economic fish. farming. It is not generally realized that there are in this country literally millions upon millions of lakes available for this pur- pose, in size all the way from mere ponds to the great inland seas of fresh water. Ia Illinois slone there are tens of thous. ands of lakes, and hundreds of thous. ands more can be readily created. There are in that State hundreds of thousands of extinct lakes which can easily be trons. formed into sheets of water by the sim- plest means. All the enormous *‘‘Lake Plain," as it is known to geologists, comprising Wisconsin, Mionesota snd Michigan north of Ohio River, is dotted with countless sheets of water, conditions being abundant for creating a mallios by such inexpensive arti- fices as the damniog of By damning at intervals, and rivulet can be made to form artificial inkes, where io the United States ft is pretty much the same, and ever; gore of this water can be made to pro- duce several times as much food as can bs obtgived from the most fertile acre of land. Even the vast arid region—the Great Desert” of the Wost—is speckled all over with multitudes of extinct lakes, which can be filled once more and made to teem agsin with fish life, as they once did. In the marshes where once these dead ponds were, countless shells and fish-fossils are found to-day.
