trout in the same stream; we believe they would not 
thrive together, Also, there are so many streams that 
are well calculated for trout and are not encumbered 
with those difficulties that it does not seem worth while 
for us to attempt to run that risk. Another thing, the 
question of food is a question there is no sort of doubt 
about with reference to pond reared fish, it is worthy of 
consideration But in this country where nature has. 
provided so abundantly in most of our streams at high 
latitudes, it is hardly worth while to entertain the ques- 
tion of food. The caddisand the shrimp abound in those 
streams and lakes. 
Mr. BrapLEY—I simply wish to make the point that 
those fish live and breed in the same lake. 
Mr. QuackENBos—I agree with what Dr. Bradley 
says. On Seneca Lake, N. H., we have bass and trout 
together. But that is explainable on the ground that 
they are not in the same water at the same time, conse- 
quently they have both quantities of the natural food. 
Those are peculiar conditions to the water. The trout 
are in the deep, cool water and the bass are on the sur- 
face; and I never have found trout inside the bass. I 
think also the bass have destroyed the enemy of the 
trout, namely, the perch. 
Mr. Pace—My experience leads me to believe that 
the old bass eat the young trout, and the old trout eat. 
the young bass.
