The next thing is to count them. To do this, net out a quantity from the hatching-troughs into a pan of water. Place this pan side by side with a large can or pail of water. Then take a dipper and dip up a few fish from the pan and pass them over to the pail, counting each dipperful as it is passed over. You had, perhaps, better begin with only four or five in the dipper at once, but with practice you will be able to count seven or eight or more at a time as you pass them over. It takes from half an hour to an hour, according to your dexterity, to count a thousand. It is a good plan to score every hundred, so that, if you lose your count, you will not have to go back far to recover it. It is very easy to forget your count, and very provoking to be obliged to count over again two or three thousand because of forgetting the exact num- ber ; but if you score every hundred there is no danger of being driven to this. The temporary box for the night should be in place when you begin to count them, so that the counted fish will not be obliged to stay long in the pail or cati. If there is a large num- ber to send off, they should be counted the day before, and placed in the boxes, fed well, and covered over for the night. They will then be in good condition to start the next day, which is a very important point. ? In transferring young fry from one receptacle to another, it is easier and safer to pour them over, water and all, than to net them out. If the fry are very thick, it is sometimes best t
