PICKING OUT BAD EGGS IN A MICHIGAN TROUT HATCHERY 



Many millions of lake-trout eggs are here incubated, and the trays containing the eggs 

 have to be carefully examined daily in order to remove the dead ones, which, if left in con- 

 tact with those that are sound, would impair their vitality or communicate disease to them. 

 The "deads" are picked out with tweezers by a body of trained girls temporarily employed 

 for this purpose. 



A FISH-DISTRIBUTING CAR BEING LOADED FOR A TRIP 



There are more than 6,coo,ooo farms in the United States. Tf there were a fish pond on 

 every farm and each family took only three pounds of fish a week, more than a billion pounds 

 of extra food a year would be secured, releasing a corresponding amount of other meat for 

 city consumption, and consequently having a reflex upon the high cost of living.
