DETAILS OF FISH CULTURE.
Science Has Much to Discover Vet,
About the Clam.

special TO eS-RepuDllCan.
Clinton, Sept 4---The visit in Gin
ton, Davenport, Muscatine, Lacrosse,
Winona, and other Mississippi river
cities, of the commissioners appointed
to decide upon the best site for the
governments biological fish culture
station. brings to the knowledge Of the
public some extraordinary facts about
the clam, or fresh water mussel here
tofore unknown.
The commission is in charge Of DR..
Barton w. Everman. chief of the d.
vision OF scientific inquiry of the I'm
tied States commission Of Ash and fish,
cries, who has made study of the
fresh water clam for years, acquiring
great deal of knowledge on the sub
ject. But as yet these researches have
not established many facts about the
useful clam, and science Is yet in the
dark concerning it's age and period OF
development
The fact has been established that
where one clam lives, perhaps hum
dreds OF the young of the species dies.
For the clam is parasitical in its ma
ture, and attaches itself to various
species of river fish. The young CLAIMS
which do not succeed in doing this all
perish This fact was learned only
after a long period OF study. 1t is
known that the bivalve is reproduced
from eggs. Matched In the mud OF the
river bottom. In an early stage Of de-
velopment, the mussel attaches itself
to the gills or mucous parts OF river
fish, where they remain thru an I'M
known period of time, deriving sus-
tenance from the body Of their foster
parents, the channel cat, carp or buf-
falo. When sufficiently developed to
shift for itself, the young clam re-
leases it's grip on the fish, and strikes
out on its own hook, gaining its sus-
tenance from microscopic particles OF
food in the water. Thus it is only the
fortunate clam fry which are able to
attach themselves to larger fish, which
ever develop into full grown river
mussels, and 1t is believed that mill
lions of eggs perish every year.
AT the fish cultural station to be es-
tablished the clans will be taken care
OF, in order that the useful bivalves
may be perpetuated, the demand for
pearl buttons during the past few years
draining the clam beds heavily. The
eggs will be thrown into ponds in
which fish will be held captive, and
the young CLAIMS will be given every
opportunity to pick out a nice fat fish
to live on few months. The fish,
with their parasitical loads of future
pearl buttons, will then be turned
loose and allowed their freedom in the
Mississippi.
But the station is not to be devoted
exclusively to the clam or river mus
sell All kinds Of fish will be given
attention. and the interests of the pis-
catoriaf tribe generally will be adj
vanced. Special attention will be Civ
en- to the spoon bill catfish. This
fish is the most mysterious in the Mis-
:sissippi, for the reason that while
many fine large specimens are caught
none, so far as is known, ever. saw a
young fish of the species. Absolutely
nothing is known about it, further than
that it attains great size and has a
particularly fine flavor.
