tween 50 and so per cent. of which Matched but
we could distribute only about z, $50 ,0CO there
being large loss of fry previous to aistxibu-
ton. This loss, 1 think, can be explained ina
only one way-that it was an off year" in fish

I find, en- comparing the report of the Wiscoxa--
sin hatcheries with that of other States, that
State ships more fish annually than any
other State in the Union, compared to
the amount of money expended. 1 recommend
acres additional land could be purchased at n

in which to propagate this fish
