this kind (Figs. 2 and 3). During the first month of feeding 

 we find it a great help. Around this feeder are six 

 holes — three on this side and throe on this side here. 

 We conneet it with the su])i)ly pipe in this manner; 

 that screws right under there. We set that between the two 

 boxes. It sets like that. I will take this piece of paper to illus- 

 trate the box. This pipe here is connected with the supply reser- 

 voir ; we regidate the supply of water which comes in here up 

 through the center until the cup is almost full. The current keeps 

 the water agitated and also the food, and it is some little time 

 before the particles of food find those little holes and go out, and 

 when they do, they go with a nice little current, and the trout frv 

 will go for them eagerly. We put three of these double feeders 

 on a box. and in feeding them we go along with a quantity of 

 food, taking it up with a syringe and putting a little in each box. 

 The little fry cluster around by the thousands at feeding time and 

 hustle for the food. It is simple, and I haye never seen anything 

 like it before. W^e like it very much and have used it for five 

 years. 



The President: I would incpiire of ^Ir. Wood if he would 

 use that for aerating purposes only? 



Mr. Wood: I would if the water supply was small. It de- 

 pends on what water supply you have. We raise a good many 

 fry, considering the space and on a little water. 



^Ir. Ravenel: \\'hat is your water supply? 



Mr. W\:)od: The total water supply? I can't tell you ex- 

 actly ; somewhere about 300 gallons a minute. 



The President: For the hatching house? 



]\rr. Wood: Xo; for the whole j)lant. 



^Ir. Clark: How many fish have you on hand? 



Mr. Wood: At the present time we have sold something 

 over two tons of market fish. We have on hand about 10,000 

 year old, 7,000 two years old and 250,000 fry. \\'e have a hatch- 

 ing house in which we can handle three million eggs at the Xook 

 hatchery, which we take about everv season.
