AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY-A LARGE ADDITION TO
IHE FISH sUPPLY OF THE COUNTRY
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON July 9.-The latest discovery in the
field of human food supplies is that Spanish mack
ere can be artiicay hatched, and dtbat its capacity
of reproduction exceeds manifold that of cod or
shad.
The discovery was made by Professor Earle of the
Fish Commission, who received his first hint in re-
gard TO the matter from fishermen on the Chesa-
peake who reported that large numbers of Spanish
mackere annually frequented the inland waters
near Chrisfeld, Maryland, and Mob Jack Bay On
reporting the fact to Professor Baird, Professor
Earle was directed TO return TO the place Indicated
and make experiments with Matching apparatus.
He was surprised to find that the fish were hached
within eighteen hours from the time the milk and
spawn were brought together 1t requires five days
TO hatch shad, aud from eight to twelve days to
hatch cod I he number of eggs operated upon at a
single Matching was between two and three hundred
thousand while of shad only about 10000 to
10000 can be turned out at once.
Another fact Of Importance is that the season for
operations with the spawn of the Spanish mackerel
Is toward the last of June and first of July after The
shad season is over and before that Of cod begins.
