streams of this country would become exc

became my life work, and ! am happy to
say I have seen it's accomplishment"
''Were you successful on the start z"
''No, Indeed. Up to that time all artih-
cial attempts to hatch and raise fish from
the spawn had failed, and 1 was compelled
to experiment in an entirely new manner.
The work was a careful and tedious one,
but finally succeeded, and to-day I am
able to hatch and raise fully seventy-five
per cent. of all spawn"
Enormous! Why, that is a larger per-
centage than either the vegetable or animal
Kingdoms produce in a natural condition" "
Il know it, but we exercise the greatest
care in the start, and guard the little fell
lows until they become able to care for
themselves
The foregoing conversation occurred at
Caledonia where the representative Of this
paper was paying a visit to the state fish
hatcheries. 1t has been his privilege to
report very many interesting sights within
the past twenty-five years. but the view
presented here exceeds in interest anything
ever before attempted.
How many fish are there in those ponds,
Mr.. Green p"
"As we have never attempted to count
them it will be impossible to say. They
extend way up into the millions though.
We shipped over three millions out of the
ponds this year and there seemed to be as
many afterward Gs before. We have near
ly every variety Of the trout family and
