SetH Green then read the following paper on Stocking 
Waters with various kinds of Fish: 
The key to the successful stocking of our waters with fish, is 
in putting the right kind in their respective waters—those 
that are suitable for them. There would be quite as much sense 
in sowing wheat on the bare shingles on the top of your house 
as to put fish in waters that are not suitable for them. You 
would be astonished to read some of my correspondence, and 
to see how little many men know about the waters that are suit- 
able for the different kinds of fish. That is the reason that all 
parties writing me are requested to give a full description of 
the waters they wish to stock, and if they give me a correct 
description, we hardly ever make a mistake. I frequently have 
men who insist on trying certain kinds of fish in their waters 
that I know would not live, and I have made some enemies by 
not giving them the fish. But I would rather have their dis- 
pleasure than to put them to an expense and be no benefit to 
them, besides killing just so many fish.
