108 BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 



States Commission. Several small plantings of New England trout in 

 the Territory have succeeded most admirably. These have grown within 

 4 years to weigh over 3 pounds in the Little Laramie River. It is 

 thought that this will be a useful fish for all the streams of the Terri- 

 tory." 



Propagating trout in Kentucky. — Writing from Louisville, Jan- 

 uary 10, 1885, Mr. J. N. Neelley says : 



"Early in 1880 I received a can of trout which I placed in my pond 

 and spring streams. I guarded them carefully and had the satisfaction 

 of having hundreds of beautiful trout. So jealous of them was I that 

 I never took one or allowed any one else to do so. In the spring of 1883 

 a water spout burst the banks of my reservoir and my trout went into 

 Gun Eiver. My father picked up a number in the sand (9 to 12 inches 

 long) and gave them to the neighbors. I spent two weeks there last fall 

 and found trout in all the small streams running into Gnu Eiver, and 

 am well satisfied that I have stocked the stream. Fishermen come from 

 all parts of the country to get a chance at them. A conductor on the 

 Michigan and Ohio Road told me that he took 14 in an hour." 

 • Cultivation of California trout and land-locked salmon. — 

 Mr. G. W. Delawder, one of the Maryland fish commissioners, writing 

 under date of Oakland, February 8, 1885, says: 



"In 1882 or 1883, 1 got from you 5,000 California trout eggs, and from 

 this lot have already sent you specimens of young. I also received land- 

 locked salmon eggs. Both lots of young were deposited in Deep Creek, 

 and the yearlings of both were taken last summer by hook and line, 

 showing a most wonderful development. When the spring opens I 

 shall be able to show the progress they have made for the second year. 

 Deep Creek has a wonderful depth, an abundance of food, pure water, 

 and is capable of maintaining large fish, and a great number of them."
