  the 
  eggs 
  are 
  taken

  the 
  fish 
  liberated. 
  At 
  Grand 
  Lake 
  

   Stream, 
  where 
  the 
  land-locked 
  salmon 
  is 
  hatched, 
  the 
  eggs 
  

   are 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  native 
  fish 
  which, 
  when 
  attempting 
  

   to 
  ascend 
  to 
  their 
  natural 
  spawning 
  grounds, 
  are 
  turned 
  

   aside 
  into 
  enclosures 
  of 
  netting, 
  where 
  they 
  are 
  retained 
  

   until 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  eggs 
  have 
  been 
  secured. 
  There 
  were 
  

   secured 
  at 
  these 
  two 
  stations, 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  season, 
  

   3,675,000 
  eggs 
  of 
  these 
  species 
  for 
  distribution 
  to 
  different 
  

   parts

  the 
  United

  "The 
  hatchery 
  on 
  the 
  McCloud 
  River 
  in 
  California 
  was 
  

   established 
  in 
  1872, 
  under 
  the 
  superintendence 
  of 
  Mr. 
  

   Livingston 
  Stone, 
  who 
  has 
  secured 
  large 
  quantities 
  of 
  

   eggs 
  of 
  the 
  California 
  salmon 
  annually. 
  The 
  eggs 
  have 
  

   been 
  taken 
  from 
  the 
  wild 
  salmon, 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  

   prevented 
  from 
  ascending 
  to 
  their 
  natural 
  spawning 
  grounds 
  

   by 
  a 
  dam 
  which 
  he 
  has 
  caused 
  to 
  be 
  thrown 
  across 
  the 
  

   river 
  just 
  above 
  the 
  hatchery. 
  Eggs 
  of 
  the 
  rainbow- 
  

   trout 
  also 
  have 
  been 
  secured 
  in 
  considerable 
  numbers. 
  

  

  " 
  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  lateness 
  of 
  the 
  appropriation, 
  little 
  was 
  

   done 
  at 
  the 
  hatchery 
  last 
  year, 
  only 
  4,000,000 
  salmon 
  and 
  

   337,500 
  trout-eggs 
  being 
  secured. 
  Most 
  of 
  these 
  were 
  

   hatched 
  and 
  planted 
  in 
  the 
  waters 
  of 
  the 
  Sacramento 
  

   River. 
  Mr. 
  Stone 
  gives 
  the 
  following 
  comprehensive 
  state- 
  

   ment 
  of 
  the 
  work 
  accomplished 
  since 
  the 
  establishment 
  of 
  

   the 
  hatchery. 
  

  

  " 
  In 
  the 
  eleven 
  years 
  since 
  the 
  salmon-breeding 
  station 
  

   has 
  been 
  in 
  operation, 
  67,000,000 
  eggs 
  have 
  been 
  taken, 
  

   most 
  of 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  distributed 
  in 
  the 
  various 
  States 
  

   of 
  the 
  Union. 
  Several 
  million, 
  however, 
  have 
  been 
  sent 
  

   to 
  foreign 
  countries, 
  including 
  Germany, 
  France, 
  Great 
  

   Britain, 
  Denmark, 
  Russia, 
  Belgium, 
  Holland, 
  Canada, 
  New 
  

   Zealand, 
  Australia, 
  and 
  the 
  Sandwich 
  Islands. 
  

  

  " 
  About 
  15,000,000 
  have 
  been 
  hatched 
  at 
  the 
  station, 
  and
