SALMON PROPAGATION IX 3IA1XE.
Its Extent ami Some of the 31cthods Used.
There are numerous streams in
Maine where salmon have not been
seen for years which are now teeming
with them. In many tributary
streams of lakes used as fish fields,
where salmon have appeared in larjje
numbers weighing from 8 to 12
lounds, there has been always more
or less destruction of this game fish
by poachers, nud it is only by great
effort that the fish wardens prevent
these poachers from pursuing their
illegal operations. In some streams
the salmon have almost been extermi
nated, but the success of salmon re
storation by planting has been high
ly satisfactory to naturalists and
pisciculturists. In all principal
rivers have been distributed millions
or young fry, and every year witness
es such an increased demand that
the iuture of the Penobscot, Ken
nebec, Androscoggin, St. Croix, Saco,
Presumpscot and the Machias, as
great salmon producing rivers, bright
ens as the time rolls on. About thir
teen years ago, quite a number of
ponds were stocked with black bass,
which has since proved an edible
luxury and a favorite with anglers."
This fish, which feeds largly, on bean
mid pickerel, is a good breeder, grows
rapidly when hatched, and is a hard
fish to" catch, unless one is used to
his habits.
It has been discovered that onfyS
per cent, of salmon eggs deposited in
the natural way on the spawning bed
and impregnated by the male fish
produce fish, while, by the artificial
progress that is in vogue, nearly
every egg, or 98 per cent, becomes
impregnated. The phenomenon of
this egg impregnation is remarkable.
The female eggs constitute a semi
transparent spherical mass, and the
milt of tho male, which is discharged
upon it is made up of what is termed
spermatozoids, which are romarkably
active in traversing the egg to find
entrance to the micropyle where,
when once inside, the embroyonic
salmon is formed. About the middle
of September is the time when the
salmon relieve themselves of their
ova. They come into the rivers until
the waters literally teem with them
as they proceed to their rids where
they deposito their spawn. The
male fish never appears gam
er than when he leaps from the
water like an athelete, while his
beautifully tinted body flashes in tho
sunlight with more of gorgeous beau
ty than ever. It is on these trips to
tho spawning bed that the salmon
rarfty, if ever, rises to the fly. It is
only in tho pond where they are con
fined for artificial propagation that
they are disposed to take the fly. It
is noticed that the same fishes do not
return every year to spawn. The un
certainty of their reappearance at
regular intervals, together with the
small percentage in impregnated eggs
in tho natural way, has led to artifi
cial spawning and hatching on an ex
tensive scale. Tho fish for artificial
spawning are procured in July or Axi
gust, and the spawning takes place
in October and November. Tho pe
riod for hatching is between three
and four months, depending on the
temperature of the water. The yield
of ova is about GOO eggs to one pound
of flesh, and this yield applies to not
only sea and land-locked salmon, but
to tho trout For tho propagation of
the latter fish there have been estab
lished several hatching houses, the
principal ones being at Eangely and
Moosehead lakes. The eggs hatched
at Kangely are turned into tho An
droscoggin, and those at the Moose
head are annually turned into that
lake to keep its capacity good. Breed
ing land-locked salmon is carried on
in several hatching establishments,
the principal one being at Grand
Lake stream. This fish doas not jni
grate to the sea. The young fry
hatched have been and are annually
distributed in numerous inland wa
ters, notably at Moosehead, Enfield
and Rangely, where they are multi
plying very fast. They are caught at
Moosehead with the fly, and some of
them weigh twelve pounds and up
ward. Maine is the only state that
can furnish the ova of" land-locked
salmon for distribution in other
states.
Tho Penobscot river is conceded to
be the best river on the Atlantic sea
board for the salmon fishery. The
annual catch is already very large,
and is a source of great profit to the
net and weir fishermen. The salmon
eggs used at tho Bucksport and Or
laud hatching works all come from
these fishermen. These works are
located on Dead brook, a tributary
of tho Penobscot. The state as well
as national government has a control
ing interest in these works. Massa
chusetts and Connecticut contribute
to the support of these works, and
receive in turn a dividend in eggs
based on the amount of their sub
scriptions. A few days ago there
were placed in these works nearly 1,
500,000 impregnated sea salmon ova.
The spawning of these fish is a very
interesting operation, and has to be
done by skilful manipulation. After
the eggs are taken from the female
fish, milt is ejected into the ova from
the male fish. In a few moments the
mass, which is contained in a pan,
undergoes a transformation in color,
nhd the eggs become separated.
They are now washed, and after being
turned into wooden trays, each one
foot square, they are conveyed to the
developing house, where they are
placed under a gentle stream of run
ning water and kept submerged until
tKe eyes of the incipient fish are seen,
resembling two minute black dots,
each as small as the point of a needle.
To reach this condition it generally
takes two months. Dnring this period,
the ova is examined every low days,
and, if any eggs are spoiled, they are
removed at once. After the embry
onic stage has been reached, the pro
cess of incubation can be completed
by having the temperature of the wa
ter increased in warmth, but if tho
ova is to be shipped elsewhere in tho
United States, or to remote distances
-omtof the country, the temperature
of the water is reduced to nearly the
freaking point The ova k then care
fully packed in damp moss, in layers
of gauze netting, and kept wet and
cool during transportation. In this
way the hatching is suspended until
the ova has reached its destination,
when the water is increased to a more
thermal condition and the little fish
hatched, and in a short time they are
ready to follow their own instincts.
To-day Penobscot salmon are swim
ming in the rivers of Australia, where
no salmon was ever known until the
ova was introduced there from Maine,
Many Comities.
Washingion Torrilory, with 70,090
square miles area, has thirty-three
counties; Montana, with 14G,000
square miles, has only thirteen coun
ties; Oregon, with 9G,O00 square miles,
has twenty-three counties; Idaho,
with 85,000 square miles, has thirteen
counties; Utah, with 85,000 square
miles, hsis twenty-three counties; Ne
vada, with 111,000 square miles, has
fifteen comities, and Arizona, with
113,000 square miles, has only ten
counties. What is there in the popu
lation of Washington Territory that
impels them in this direction, a some
thing jossessed by them in a greater
degree than bytheir neighbors else
where on the Pacific slope? Take it
all over the Pacific slope and the
average area of counties is twico that
of counties in Washington Territory.
The theory we have is that the popu
lation here is more evenly divided,
that towns are more numerous and
that the inhabitants thereof are pos
sessed with restless local ambitions
that cannot be renressed. and which
most easily and plainly shows itself
m this vmy.Post-lniclligenci'r.
Railroads Forbidden.
Tho Kootcnay railroad act, which
passed the legislature of British Co
lumbia last June, has been disallowed
by the Dominion of Canada. This
act anthonzed J. U. Amsworth, Geo.
J. Amsworth, E. W. Blaisdell, J. W.
Sprague and G. B. Wright to build a
short line of railroad in the eastern
part of the Province, to build and run
steamboats, put up and operate tele
graph wires, etc. It not only author
ized this, but it gave them a donation
of 50,000 acres of land outright The
objection of the Canadian govern
ment is that the proposed works
would interfere with the Canadian
Pacific railroad, and instead of being
a feeder of that read, would really be
a feeder of the Northern Pacific, and
that the effect of their construction
wonld be to divert trade from Canada
to the United States. The Eraser
river railway and the New Westminis
ter Southern railway have been pro
hibited for like reasons. -Union.
Carl Schurz's retirement from tho
New York Post afibxds another proof
of the difficulty of conducting a
newspaper by an editorial council.
There were two editors of the Even
ing Pout besides Mr. Schurz himself,
or three in all; and it appears from
what he told our reporter, that the
intellectual energies of this profes
sional combination was not only ex
pended in the composition of leading
articles, but were taxed also in dis
putes over the policy of their journal
touching grave public questions.
They thus each performed double
work of a very exhausting kind. Be
sides writing, they had to make them
selves ready for debates in the coun
cil room over the positions proper for
so important an organ of public opin
ion. We cannot blame them if under
such circumstances they approached
their literary task with a sense of
fatigue which detracted from the
vivacity of their articles.
There is a clergyman in Tennessee
called the "satisfying preacher." If
a congregation is discontented he is
sent for, and so atrociously bad is he
that after hearing him once or twice
the congregation is entirely satisfied
to keep the pastor it has. The 67 ris
tian Advocate tells this story, and
adds that when the great Robert Hall
was recovering from mental aberra
tion he took a whim that he would
not preach. Several clergymen filled
his pulpit. At last he heard one so
poor that he said to him so the tra
ditioiris: "Sir, you have produced a
great effect by your sermon to-day. If
the people must hear you or me, my
duty is clear I must resume prench-
The report in circulation among
tho papers of Washington Territory,
to the effect that the new counties
were undone by the late decision of
Judges Hoyt and Green on the
"Omnibus bill" is unfounded. Their
decision in no wise affects tho new
counties, the organization of which
will go right on as contemplated by
tho laws creating them.
TheJiriiisit Cohimhian complains
loudly of the wholesale manner in
which the lands of the province are
being seized. It says that at this
time there ore applications on file to
purchase 150,000,000. by men wanting
in each case over 1C0 acres. Asingle
individual wants 50,000.
Senator Dolph has written a letter
congratulating the,womenof Wash
ington territory on their -victory in
the matter of suffrage extension, and
expressing the hope that Oregon
would speedily fall into line.
The latest fish story is from Ska
mokawa, where a sturgeon is chained
up which is five feet thick and ten
long. It is to bo barbecued at Klas
kanine on Christmas. Standard.
George Bucknell of Lake county,
CaL, who is in his dotage and has no
confidence in banks, buried his bonds
for greater safety, and has forgotten
where he buried them.
