EHAD HATcH1NG.-ProfessorJ j. W. Milner,
who has had charge of the shad Matching opera
tions under the direction of the United States
Fish Commissioner, Professor Baird, is now en-
gagged in the preparation of the report of the
work of the season just completed. Speaking Of
the work on the Atlantic sesbosrd, and the dis
trlbution of young fsh, the report says that at
the Salmon Greek station on the Albsmarle
sound they obtained l2.730.OCo eggs. and turned
out 8 90, 600 young fish. At the hsvfe de Grace
station 1920. 600 eggs were obtained, and 500.
900 young fish were turned out About 5000
600 young shad have been distributed in the
rivers emptying into the Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico during the season. Tho distribution Of
shad during the past season has boon carried on
on q much larger scale than any previous year,
with great success. Professor Baird now feels
assured that the restocking of the rivers of the
Atlantic with this valuable representative Of the
tnpy tribe is only the work of few years.
