SHAD.-Our State appropriates So

Fish Wiers in the several dams across
the Susquehanna and its tributaries
for the purpose of allowing shad and
other fish to pass up and down said
rivers. These arrangements are all
right as far as they go, but as the OBJ
iect is to furnish the whole country
along these rivers with fish, it is as
necessary to increase their numbers
as it is 10 facilitate their passage up
and down the channels. The process
of artificial incubation is no longer an
experiment in this country, as many
hundred millions of shad were hatched
out at Holyoke, Mass, during the last
season. 1t is estimated that forty-nine
filtieths of shad spawn in the rivers
are destroyed by fish or otherwise,
and that the artificial process is The
only plan by which their numbers can
be perceptibly increased 1t is sup.
posed that shad return to the river in
which they are propagated, but wheth.
er this be true or not, if all the States
along the Atlantic adopt the process
of artificial incubation their numbers

Of our rivers, and We suggest that all
who are interested send in petitions to
our Legislature at the present session
recommending the appropriation ofa
sufficient amount to pay the expenses
of filling our rivers with shad by the
