" How many fish are there In those ponds,

We shipped over three millions out 81 the
ponds his year, n there seemed TO b. as

many h~yhrids."
"You peak Of hybrids. Mr. Green. what
do YOU mean by thatfp
II have experimental for years in cross
Ing the breed ofthc various hsh, andamstill
working upou it. We cross the female sal
mon trout with the male brook trout, aud
thus produce a hybrid. Then WI cross the
hybrid with tho brook tout, which gives
n thrcc-quarter brook trout and one quar-.
Ter salmon trout. This makes of tho
finest fishes In the world. He has all the
habits OF the brook trout, lives In both

also, that we ave a hospital pond, which
Is entirely empty, which speaks pretty
well for a community 81 many millions.
