a taste on the part of the epicure for
shad roe. The roe that may go to the
tickling of a single palate for one meal

thousands of lusty fishes that. even with

The people who kill the fecund shad and
who encourage their catching by ordering
roe from their dealer are killing the
goose with the golden egg and preparing
for themselves a time when there will be

The second cause of the more rapid
decrease in the shad is due to the fact
that the nets are now extending far out

Government Takes Action.
Because of the difficulties that surround
the shad in its attempt to spawn. the
tendency toward its determination is so
strong that the national government
through its bureau of fisheries, was long
ago forced to step in and exert a counter
acting influence. To do this it has been
necessary TO purchase from the fishermen
at market prices great numbers of the
female fish that were ready to spawn, and
artificially propagate the eggs and place
the little fish back into the water.
The figures for shad propa CATION show
that there was time when the bureau
was able to capture as high as 210OOO,-
900 eggs In the Susquehanna river. OPP
posed to S.O00O0O last year. On the
delaware river. where the catch has gone
as high as 115,GO0.00O. it has recently
fallen as low as 10000. while on the
Potomac. where the catch has held up
better than in most places. it has fallen
from IS. OGO.OOO to 12.OOO000. The tend
encies toward determination are stronger
each year.
These conditions are contraSted with the
stories of early days in the same streams.

Gals of fisheries, and If strenuous

determination of the species VIII be the
result. Countless numbers of nets and
seines have been thrown out m all me
waters where the shad abounds. and for
tunate indeed is the individual fish that
escapes all these and reaches the point OF
its endeavor. The annual pilgrimage of
the shad is now on. and from Maine to
California the slaughter continues un-
abated.
For ten months of the year the shad dis
appear from the fresh-water streams and
the shallow waters along shore. Even the

This line of action is accounted for by
the instructive knowledge of the fish OF
the fact that when salt water touches the
