COMMISSIONERS RETURN FROM

BIGGEST in the Entire Country-Made
From Forbiddng Territory but

Madison Plant.
Madison, July Is.

Madison, July Is.
The commissioners of fisheries have
returned from their annual summer
inspection of the several hatcheries
throughout the state. General Z. +,
Bryant, the president, says the com
mission found matters in a very salts.
factory condition. The Oshkosh sta
ton is in shape to hatch Whitetish,
lake trout, pike and muscallonge, and
puts out annually large distribution.
Near Bayfield,, at the mouth of Pixies
creek, a big hatChery-the largest
single hatchery in the United States
is now in successful operation. In
1895, when the side was procured by
the donation of several hundred
acres to the state by Colonel Isaac H.
Wing and Mrs Robert l.. Pike. the
site was most forbidding-a tract OF
land covered with stumps, gullies, de.
caying logs, bog holes and sand
dunes. The chief attraction was a
splendid supply of pure water. Now
a stately building is there, the grounds
fish ponds, each teeming with trout of
all ages from full-grown breeders to
tiny tingerlings. are disporting on
every hand, The output from this
hatchery is immense. AS many as
112 bushels of eggs Of trout, white
fish and lake trout have been on the
trays at one time.
The commissioners are very hope
full as to results in the new bass
hatchery lately established at the out
Minoqua. There several acres of
ponds have been constructed so as to
be supplied with water from these
lakes-natural water for the bass and
muscallonge. Here some zoo or 500
small-mouth blackbass are in confne-
ment and the output promises to be
very fair for the first season. The
commissioners are negotiating for
more land and water rights and will
soon increase their bondage so as to
hatch millions of this game fish, SO
popular everywhere and adapted to
most of the waters of the state.
The commissioners have ordered
some repairs at the Madison hatchery;
but note with regret a steady decline
of the water supply To increase
their output for the next season the
commissioners authorized the superin-
tendent to purchase a million brook
trout eggs to be Matched at the hatch
cries in addition to the supply from
their own stock fish in the ponds.
