o-rcat per cent. 1)ut we have lost e^-gs bv doino- so. Too luneh at- 

 tention has l)een i)ai(l to tlicm. Here is a jar, witli the fimgus 

 formed on tlierc. and the foreman said tiiat jar liad stocked as 

 o-ood or hctter than any other jar we liave. I think with that 

 jar one man can take care of l)etween 1500 and 2000 jars. We 

 had in Dcti'oit 14(i() jars, and it is proposed this next winter 

 Tliat oui' hdioi' (hirin.i:- \\\v (hiy will he cnt rio'ht sqnare in two.

^h-. Fnliei'ton : May 1 ask 'Mv. Clark a question? Would 

 that api)ly to tlu' white perch? 



.Mr. (dai'k : I would say that we ilid not try the white ])erch. 



^[r. Fuih'rion: What is your judj^inent ? 



:\Ii-. Chirk: I will tell you hetter next year. 



^Ir. Fuileilon: Wc do not hatch anything hut white perch 

 i]i ^linnesota. and 1 would like to know. 



^\y. Clark: I want to say this: that I am claiming this, 

 that that is the only automatic jar. 



'S\v. (icer: Where c^an you get those jars? 



^ir. Clai-k : You can jjrohahly ha\'e them made. There is 

 no })atent, and if anyhody wants to use tlu'ui they can probahly 

 have them ma(U': there is no ])atcnl. 



Mr. Tliavcr: Both jars wiil l,c made l)y C. Dolling e^' Sons 

 Company. And if this drawing Mr. Clark has is not satisfactory 

 for |ii-inting in the report. I have no doubt one can be furnished 

 in tlie olhce. 



^[r. Clark: They have this same thing, and it will be neces- 

 sary for us to have one in making the jar a little larger in diam- 

 eter, it is verv possible that this jar will l)e made on a moiikl. 

 Heretofore the Downing jars and the others have not lieen made 

 on a regular mould, and have not been unit'orm: some working 

 a great deal l)etter than others. 



Prof. Smith: It seems to me this jar ]'e|)resents a tremen- 

 dous advance in the methods of whitefish culture, if the jar 

 accomplishes what Mr. Clark cdaims for it.
