Print on Demand. This book discusses the waters and waterways of Ontario, Canada, their economic value to the province, and the need for their conservation. The author, an experienced surveyor and mining engineer, argues that lakes, rivers, and streams are essential to the province's economy and should be protected from exploitation. He provides a detailed analysis of the water resources of Ontario, including the potential for hydroelectric power generation and the importance of water for transportation and recreation. The book also examines the legal framework for water resources management in Ontario and the challenges posed by pollution and climate change. Ultimately, the author argues that water is a precious resource that must be sustainably managed for the benefit of present and future generations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

- Geography
By fishes I would be understood to mean predatory or carnivorous fishes, which live by devouring, for the most part, the other kinds of fish referred to above, namely, those which, while themselves good for food, consume nothing which man himself could or would eat.
Now, without having made a study of the subject, it appears to me that the aim of the fish culturist should be to keep such kinds and such numbers of fish as will utilize all the fish-food afforded by his pond or lake; preferring of course those kinds which will yield the largest return, in respect of quantity and quality of human food. On the other hand the predatory fishes, such as the pike, should, it seems to me, be entirely banished or excluded from the ponds or lakes, if possible. The result of allowing such fishes to remain being, that although they may in due time themselves become the food of man, they will probably have consumed more than twenty times their weight of better fish, which, but for them, might also have become human food. This would be any thing but true economy. We know pretty well how many pounds of corn it takes to make a pound of pork, or a pound of beef but we are entirely in the dark (at least I am) as to how many pounds of herring or white-fish are required to make a pound of pike, of dore or pickerel, or even of lake trout. It is difficult to form even a conjecture on the subject, but I am inclined to think that in putting it at twenty times their own weight, I am very much below the truth. If this is so, those smaller lakes, in respect of which an intelligent system of pisciculture can be adopted, will, as I have said, be more valuable and productive in proportion to their area, than the larger lakes. Fish-breeding can be carried on in the smaller lakes by private individuals. If favourably situated as regards drainage, inferior kinds of fish, such as the sucker, and the predatory fishes, such as the pike, can be weeded out, and only those which are in every respect desirable retained; or foreign stock might be imported and introduced, in some cases, with decided advantage. In the large lakes, where it is practically im possible to do this, there can be no scientific pisciculture in the proper sense ofthe term. Still, much can be done to increase the produce even of the largest, by wise fishery laws or regulations, the object of which should be to aid and encourage the multiplication and increase of such fish as the white-fish, and to reduce, as much as possible, the numbers of the predatory fishes, of which the pike may be taken as the type.

Reseña del editor
In compliance with the instructions received at the time of his appointment, that he would be expected to procure and forward information, and to advise and assist in settling all matters relating to our new territory: he has procured and submitted all the information he could Obtain in reference to the social condition of the native and other inhabitants of this vast territory. And as they are not represented in either the House of Commons or the Legislative Assembly and had no other means of doing so, he has not failed to lay before the Govern ment and Legislature what have appeared to him their most imperative wants and serious grievances, with such suggestions and advice as to the proper mode of dealing with, or settling the same, as seemed to him best. But the economic value of the numerous lakes, and of the rivers and streams to which they give birth, has not been as fully and exhaustively dealt with as the great importance of that subject unquestionably demands.
