Yes, I replied, and we put out now annually animmense number of not only trout fry, but also those ofother species, particularly the sea salmon and land-lockedsalmon. You Canadians set us the example, and for atime led us in the eood work, but we are now abreastof, even if we are not really outstripping, you.

I have visited a number ofthe hatcheries, both in the States and your Provinces,and I inspected the operations closely. It must be very interesting, said Frere, I wishyou would describe the different manipulations by whichthe fry are produced. Our hatcheries are very success-ful, and they turn out millions of fry annually, but I havenever seen the actual Taking the Spawn and Milt Simultaneously at Grand Lake Stream, jNIe. (Inst.) 368 With Fly-Rod and Ccvjiera. Yes, I replied, the whole process is intensely in-teresting- and a wonderful scientific triumph. I will de-scribe it as well as I can. Of course the first step tobe taken is the erection of a hatchery, and this must bedone on scientific principles, no matter how pretentiousor otherwise the buildincr may be. It is essential thatthere shall be an unfailing- supply of pure water. Brightsparkling- brook water, free from sediment, is the mostdesirable. The house is placed so that the water canbe conducted into it by pipes or sluices, and then it iscaused to pass through a series of long tanks or these troughs are placed trays containing the eggs,and there they remain in the moving water until the fryare hatched. The house erected and everything ready for oper-ating— and this should be accomplished early in the sum-mer, or at any rate before the
