116 How to obtain tt. 
Messrs. Graham and Morton, of Stirling, are very convenient, and 
do not readily get out of order. They also 
stand the wear and tear of railway traffic as 
well as anything. Similar cans were first 
used in America, and I consider them 
about as good for travelling yearlings as 
properly made carboys are for travelling 
fry. I have also travelled two-year-olds in 
them very successfully, and on several 
occasions larger fish. When used for large 
fish, however, the work should only be done 
by those who thoroughly understand the 
matter, or the result may not be altogether Fre 5.—isH CARRIER. 
satisfactory. 
I am often asked which is the best time of the year for 
turning out yearlings. In reply to the query there are many 
points to consider. I have turned them out every month in the 
year, from August to May, and carefully noted results; and the 
fish turned out during the latter end of August, or as early in 
September as practicable, have won the prize. They have made 
better fish the following summer than those turned out in spring. 
The only objection to the plan is that we often have warm 
weather just then, and, therefore, the cost of the work is much 
greater than it is a little later, say in November. 
It is only in the care of experts that trout can be travelled in 
August, but when once safely introduced to the water, they make 
good progress. They are taken from the nursery ponds, where 
they have been herded together and have not room to grow as 
they might do, and are put into water where they have ample 
room, at a time when it is well stocked with natural food. They 
have been fed several times daily, and are, therefore, accustomed 
to having a good and regular supply of food. The starving they: 
get whilst being transferred makes them feel hungry, and the 
consequence is that they begin to feed at once. They have come 
from crowded waters, where the natural food was all cleared out, 
and they were dependent on the artificial. They like the natural 
food better, and they eat freely and thrive upon it amazingly, 
getting thoroughly acclimatized before winter sets in. As a result
