Penobscot Salmon-Breednq Works.

BUCKsPoRT, April %, 1873.
Dear Sir: desire your go cooperation and as
slstance in carrying out an important expert
ment, designed to add to our knowledge of the
habits OF salmon
As you are probably already informed, several
hundred salmon, caught last summer near
Bucksport, were taken alive to Great pond, in
BuckSport, and kept through the summer and
fall. In October and November they were
caught again, and their eggs, which were then
ripe and ready to be laid, were taken from
them to be Matched out artitically, and used in
restocking exhausted rivers in the several states
that had an interest in the enterprise. The
whole number ofeggs taken amount to a million
and half The state of Maine receives a large
share OF them, and has directed that $50, 900
eggs be kept and Matched out at Bucksport,
and that the young fish be turned into the
Penobscot river. These eggs have already
begun to hatch, and there is every prospect that
from this operation a sufficiently large number
of young salmon will be placed in the Penobscot
to make the salmon fishery of the river and BAY
better few years hence; and as it is proposed
to continue the work, there is good reason to
hope that it will eventually restore the fishery
to something like its an cient condition of plenty,
Now, then, let me call your attention to the
experiment to which | have alluded. At the
request of Prot. 5. F. Baird, Of Washington,
the principal patron of this enterprise, l had all
the old salmon. male and female, after they had
yielded their eggs and n.it, measured and
weighed, and each one marked with metal
tag, bearing particular number, by which |
can distinguish them if l ever see them again
rhis tag is of oval shape, about half an inch
long, and will probably remain bright. In
most cases it is attached to rubber band that
goes around the tail. In others, it is attached
by wire to the large back fin. After marking,
the salmon were let loose to go to sea if they
chose.
Ii we can catch any of these salmon with tags
on them. it will greatly help us to better
knowledge OF their habits, helping us to know
their rate Of growth, the frequency of their
spawning, and so forth.
! earnestly request all persons engaged in
fishing for, or dealing in salmon. to carefully
look for the tags, and in case salmon is found,
to send it to me. [ will pay the market value
Of each tagged salmon sent me, according to its
weight, and the additional sum of three dollars
for each salmon, besides the cost OF freight
from the place where shipped to Bucksport.

IS no provision of the law to exempt

the bankrupt finds about 1880 Of his
