in short time the good eggs can be distin-
guishcd from those which have been in
jured or spoiled. The latter present a
dingy appearance and collect in punches,
while the good eggs are separated from
each other, are perfectly transparent and
sparkle like diamonds. In four days after
the eggs are placed in the Matching boxes
the young fish appear, if the temperature
is right, which is about Coz. In three
years the shad have attained their growth
and start from the ocean, where they go
after Matching, and seek the sources of the
rivers in order to deposit their spawn; and
it is curious fact that all migratory fish
seek the same rivers in which to spawn,
they have been placed in when young, SO
that we may, with entire confidence, rely
upon the shad, which reach maturity, that
were emptied into the head of Elk river on
Wednesday last, returning to the rivers in
this county three years hence. And if next
year, in place of 10000 young shad being
put into those rivers 1000, 900 is distri-
buted among them, the catch three years
after, will be correspondingly large. At
almost nominal cost shad could be in
creased hundred fold in all of our rivers.
