  Commission: 
  

  

  The 
  year's 
  work 
  just 
  ended 
  at 
  the 
  Pleasant 
  Valley 
  Hatchery 
  has 
  

   shown 
  marked 
  improvement. 
  We 
  have 
  had 
  no 
  trouble 
  of 
  any 
  kind 
  

   in 
  handling 
  fry 
  or 
  fingerling 
  fish. 
  All 
  our 
  eggs 
  were 
  hatched 
  in 
  

   artesian 
  water 
  where 
  they 
  mature 
  faster 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  main 
  spring 
  

   supply. 
  After 
  hatching 
  they 
  were 
  divided 
  in 
  the 
  two 
  supplies, 
  

   but 
  no 
  difference 
  has 
  been 
  noted 
  in 
  their 
  growth. 
  All 
  springs 
  and 
  

   ponds 
  have 
  had 
  a 
  thorough 
  cleaning 
  out, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  repairs 
  

   yet 
  to 
  be 
  made 
  we 
  will 
  be 
  in 
  good 
  shape 
  for 
  the 
  coming 
  year's 
  work, 
  

   which 
  we 
  hope 
  to 
  make 
  the 
  largest 
  in 
  the 
  history 
  of 
  this 
  station. 
  

  

  THE 
  PLANTING 
  OF 
  FISH 
  

  

  Born 
  on 
  the 
  borders 
  of 
  the 
  Adirondacks 
  and 
  having 
  spent 
  my 
  

   boyhood 
  days 
  there, 
  my 
  knowledge 
  of 
  fish 
  and 
  animals 
  in 
  their 
  

   wild 
  state 
  proved 
  a 
  great 
  help 
  when, 
  in 
  1895, 
  I 
  decided 
  to 
  take 
  up 
  

   the 
  work 
  of 
  fish 
  culture. 
  In 
  that 
  year 
  I 
  took 
  charge 
  of 
  Combs 
  

   Brook 
  Hatchery 
  for 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  League 
  Club, 
  and 
  for 
  four 
  

   years 
  my 
  work 
  was 
  to 
  stock 
  the 
  waters 
  of 
  that 
  preserve
