perhaps, when grown, but far ahead of
the native fish generally of this State.
There are, also, in tho hatching-
house about 1900 trout fry in good
condition, upon which Messrs. Watkins
y Cogel are making calculations Of a
good harvest in the future. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Watkins took 10000
young trout to Green Bay, Wis.,, to
stock the ponds of two gentlemen of
that loca!ity-Messrs. English and Ha-
gan-and he reports that he got them
through in good order and fine condition.
The railroad officials and employees ex-
tended every facility and did all in their
power to make the transportation safe
and agreeable, and MIR. w. expresses
himself under deep obligations to them.
Since our last visit several improve
ments have been made at the Glen and
others are now in contemplation. Mr..
Watkins has introduced an invention of
his own to break up and @reate the
water before it reaches the Matching
troughs, and he believes that he has
thereby contributed largely to the health
of the young fry. Another pond is to
be built and the lower one of those now
existing is to be improved. In about
six weeks from this time the Glen will be
in its fullest development.

Trout Glen Fish Ponds.

We spent several hours on Saturday
morning at Trout Glen, observing the
progress at the tish-breeding and rearing
establishment. Since our last visit the
California salmon fry, (which grew SO
fast as to demand more room,) have
been divided, a portion of them being
placed in lower lake. These fish are
the property of the State, but as the
recent legislature made no provision for
their distribution in the waters of the
States, private enterprise will have to be
depended upon to effect this object.
We understand that Judge Crosby, of
Hastings, has an order from the State
Commissioners for 5000 of them, and
intends removing them to Pryor lake, in
Scott county at an early day.
We believe that the State Commits
sioners are under obligations to remove
all of them from Trout Glen during the
months of May and June next, as it
will then be high time for them to be
"planted" where it is intended to have
them remain. They are now healthy
and thriving, but have not sufficient
room for their growth and development,
and to be longer confined to the ponds
Of Trout Glen will cause them to DETER
i0rate.
1t is unfortunate that the legislature
did not appreciate the importance of
this interest, and appropriate a suffi-
cient fund to test the experiment fully.
There is little ifany room to doubt that
these fish will thrive in the larger land
locked lakes of this State, and if they
shall they will furnish a luxury which
will add greatly to the attractions Of
Minnesota. Let what may happen
Messrs. S. S. Watkins and G. Cogel,
the proprietors of Trout Glen, have
certainly done all IN their power to test
the experiment and they deserve great
credit for the attention, care, labor and
expense they have bestowed on these
young salmon.
Recently there were received at the
Matching house 10000 spawn of land
locked salmon from Bucksport, Maine.
Of these 98% to 80 per cent. Matched
and are now living and are in good con-
dition. They are about four weeks old
and are beautiful specimens of fish;
hardly equal to the California salmon,
