And again and again have the public been summoned to yield a generous and enthusiastic support to a nascent science, that promised to add boundless stores of food to the scanty supply with which the denizens of crowded cities are now fain to be content. Huningue is described, in M. Coste's report, as a reservoir of "animal seed;" large enough to spread salmon--the best substitute for beef--through all the rivers of France. The Danube salmon is most cultivated, for its size and flavour. It will grow to the weight of 200 pounds. It does not require, for its development, a visit to the sea. It will accommodate itself to the most unpromising circumstances. It will flourish in a reservoir. Then why should not this cheap and solid food be propagated to the utmost? We know what has been done of late years with the salmon fisheries of Scotland and Ireland; ...
