They were hatched from eggs aititicially fertilized at Avoca, I'.ertie county, last May, and subsequently manipulated at the carp ponds near Kaleigh. Qn December 1st, upon removing them with other tish from one of the carp ponds, I found that they had grown to the length of lour and one eighth inches. were broad and thick, healthy and active. Their pre: Cnce 1 was not unexpected, but I was ! struck with two points, one being ; their superior condition alter six ' months' confinement in a pond, the other their small death rate while : confined. Ou June 21st, I had the jjsi, from 0ne pond put into another, and among those trans- ferrea wero 1)t lnole than a half dozen .-had, then seven or eight weeks old, too small to be easily identified. I"ion drawing the pond five months later, lour were found. The conclusions which follow are these, that artificially hatched shad I fl a ril.i Mfi 11 1 TV), 1 vitality to make healthy adnlt tish. j and that fry may find proper food I ia nursery ponds, ami that a proti- able small loss only would follow it I l.irpo numbers were inned up for some weeks or mouths in proper ponds. That artificially fertilized ova produce healthy adult shad is tint que-t ioned by persons informed upon thjj recent achievements ol ! fish eulturi.-ts, but there ai poisons who, without any sufficient reason, doubt the fact. There were such an abundant -had catch on the Pacific coast during lss.i. that the fish -went befim." so to speak. This freat result was from the small number lot two hundred thousand try sent across the continent by the United States Fish Commissioner. Their abundam-e in a perfeci state shows clearlv the ab-oluto proof of the -oiindiif-s of the theory of fi-h cul ture, and moreover, t hat fi-h may i be used in stocking new waters as successfully as foreign plants may : be introduced for new crops. Over i three-fourths of the plants cultivat ed tor the support of man and ani mals are imported. The very important increase in the shad fisheries ot' the Potomac also .-how the practical value of the Fisii Coininis.-ion work in deposit ing young shad artificially hatched. This stieaui ciht i-.rs ago, when the lir.-t plantings were made, yield ed about one hundred and .-ixty thou-ai.d -had: it now produces nearly live hundred thousand, and has done -o two ears, and. iu ad- 1 : L i 1 1 . .-hnwed a steady increase during 1S7'.'-'o and is-.. Indeed, the ai titicial fertilization and hatch ing of ova is nothing but an aid to natuie. as will at once appear on -iit;ht examination.

A large per emit, uf the shad an nually netted from our waters are unripe and ; no value lor hatch in purposes, but -uflicient numbers art,' ripe to permit extensive operations, and since the methods have Uen simplified at least a hundred fisher men's aid cai lie availed of, during next spring only, in collecting this ripe product which is now wholly unproductive. A iipe tish is sold and her roe eaten or thrown away. If her eggs arc La ken and hatched artificially, they produce ten to lit teen, sometimes sixty thousand fry. As there is no means of ascertain ing the exae' catch of fish in our waters, and Tis t he vai i at ion in rain fall and temperatures affect the movements of the tisli.it has been impos-ible to make any very defi nite figures on the catch and its en hancement. In view, however, ot the immense yield to plantings on 1 the Potomac, Alabama and Pacific rivers, 1 believe that I have given the Fish Commission insufficient credit for its benefits. Had if not been for the work done. I am sure , that the catch would not have been ' maintained. I Shad will not. leave water sixty-' two degrees and go into that of six ty to spawn. In consequence of, this fact recently established bv I Col. Mel) onald the cold rains ot movement was changed, j It is now definitely known that as 'soon as the rivers, bays or sounds reach a temperature higher than that of Hie ocean the shad come in ; for spawning purposes. If the riv ers are warm they ascend at once. This movement begins in January ami lasts tin lareni-May, nut varies in proportion as the river water is warmer or cooler. Now, if a further test shows that shad fry can be reared successfully ; .. .1 . 1 ... . ; ... 1. . iu luo.s 10 nil' ;ige 01 .-i.v inoiiiiis. the results m the work ot artificial propagation will surely be doubled, But, under any circumstances, the increase ot the shad fishery by the casing turn naicning 01 ova win reacii a magnitude totally un dreamed of by the average citizen. The river fishery of North Caro lina yields the shad, herring, rock, white perch and sturgeon, each one of these being a migratory species 1 termed anadromous. They run up in spring and deposit their eggs. Their combined annual value is $504, ."0. This product can not will, 1IT 111 (I 1 U l ,11 IU ,1 l' 11.11, Kill Wl" orations, but doubled, without doubt. I he area ol the nvcr fisheries is extensive, furnishing ti.-h food to the population of thirty or more1 counties. The class of nets used in the river li dieries include the sim ple bow or dip-net, fished by two; men in a canoe, the drift-net and stake-net, which gill the tish, the haul semo of one to three hundred' yards length and others a mile and a half long, tished by steam, and i the pound-net known locally in this State as Dutch net.

In the' town ot Wilmington as many as a i hundred cart loads of such fish are sometimes found on the market during a single day. On this market shrimp to the; value of s.-.iiooo or more are sold! annually. They are among the choicest of articles, being a great I delicacy. Of late Mrs. K. Warren! has been engaged pickling them, j and is successful not only in making a delicious preparation, but also in realizing ready sales at paying prices. In a few years it is certain that .-he will be able to show a great increase in production to the demand she makes for them. .Mes.-is. Davis cc Son have in creased the oyster product of Myrtle Crove Sound from 300 to 500 a year up to l.OOO or .".000. and the other branches of the fisheries in proportion. The attractions of the coast sec tion are as varied as our climate, soil, liora and fauna w ould indicate. The country is but moderately set tled, and is unvisited except by three oi' four thousand home people. I do not know how it can be illus trated iu an exhibit other than through the medium of a fishery display. Once made known, the fears of malaria, now so greatly exaggerated in the minds of per sons abroad, w ill be dissipated, and its superior advantages be turned to u.-e. It has, unquestionably, as tine a future as any section of the 1'nited States. Fish, so abundant here, become scarcer as you proceed inland, but a very strong interest in fish culture has been developed by the Board, and the deficiency, it is hoped, will be greatly made up by private ponds, more thau a thou sand of which have been built with in tour vears. THK (J ICR MAN" C.VKP has been used in stocking these. It is a tish of good quality w hich will suit the average taste, and is pos sessed of all The elements to render its culture a profitable business. A given quantity of food supplied to tish of any kind, and to poultry and swine, will produce double the mini her of pounds of tish for, being cold blooded, the fish requires no consumption of material to keep up heat. The Carp, w ith information per- taining-io their culture, are furnish-' ed by the Boaid without cost to the people, while the river fisheries are, maintained by annual plantings of! try of shad.
