Many of the lakes and rivers have been stocked with trout and salmon or bass; some, with smelt; the fresh waters of the state also contain pickerel, perch, pouts, eels, suckers, dace, sunfish and shiners.

The document covers starter and grower feed and feeding golden shiners, fathead minnows and goldfish.

Shoe shiners are still common there, forming a lower echelon in the economy.

Poor John Field!--I trust he does not read this, unless he will improve by it--thinking to live by some derivative old-country mode in this primitive new country--to catch perch with shiners.
