 letter explains itself : 



Nebraska Frsn Commission, 1 

 Fi;i.ji.«t, October 1, 1881. 

 Ei'iior Forest nnd Simon:

FISHCDLTURE IN GEORGIA.— The Atlanta Cunsli'titwu says : 

 —"Tho Legislature never carried its take idea of economy to fur- 

 ther lengths than when it killed the Fish Bill providing for the 

 propagation of fish. 



"If anylhmg has been demonstrated, it is that money can be spent 

 nowhere so profitably as in providing fish hatcheries aud distribu- 

 tion. Without any money, paying ins own expenses in many cases. 

 Dr. Can the Commissioner, has studied nearly a thousand ponds 

 in Georgia with carp, aud the country press is filled with accounts 

 of the wonderful growth aud fecundity of this fish. It is not too 

 much to say that next year these ponds will produce a million 

 pounds of the best aud healthiest food that will save for market a 

 million pounds of bacon, beef or poultry. In another year this 

 supply will be doubled or quadrupled. 



"II wiU not do to say that if this much has been done without any 

 appropriation, no appropriation need be made. What has been 

 done through the enthusiasm ot Dr. Cary. without money, is but 

 a hint of what he might have done had ho been provided with 

 funds. The appropriation of the f 1*000 a year asked for, would 

 have established and maintained hatcheries within tho State that 

 in five years would have made every river in Georgia swarm with 

 the best of food fishes, and paid back ihe investment -a hundred 

 fold. Aa it is, we can do nothing bttt,wsitl01 another i Bgislature, 

 and m the meantime take what fish other and more liberal .States 

 will give us. and rely on Dr, Gary's patriotism tooontiiraeto collect 

 and 'distribute them, with nothing as ins reward escapl the snub- 

 bing tho House has given him." 



GREEN SCUM ON PONDS.— Professor C. E. Bessey. of the 

 Iowa Agricultural College, writes to the New York Tribune in 

 answer to oue who asks, •' How to prevent the growing, aud com- 

 ing to the lop of a fish pond, of the green scum commonly called 

 frog-spittle V" He says : "Itisaualga

FISHWAY FOR THE RAPPAHANNOCK.— The Fredncksbnrg 

 Water Power Works is about erecting a McDonald fishway over 

 their dam on the Rappahannock River about two miles above 

 the ancient Borough of Frudricksburgb. The dam is of stone, 

 and nineteen feet high. In the olden times before artificial ob- 

 structions existed, shad used to pass up to the very sources of the 

 river ai the base of the Blue Ridge. Few comparatively now reach 

 the head of tide water, though the number has been increasing

THE LONDON DOG SHOW, 



London, Out, Sept. 30, 1881. 



On arriving here your correspondent found the town and its ho- 

 tels crowded with visitors, it being the occasion of the annual 

 cattle, agricultural and horticultural exhibition to which was also 

 added the bench show of dogs. The weather, though extremely 

 warm for the season, was favorable during the meeting, aud the 

 visitors as well as exhibitors seemed highly pleased with the ar- 

 rangements made for the accommodation and care of the canines, 

 which were under the able supervision of Mr. Charles Lincoln, 

 whose ability to carry out successfully such an undertaking is too 

 well known to need any further comment. 



A spacious frame buildinghitd been erectedon the Fair Grounds 

 for the dog show, and was well adapted for the purpose. It was 

 divided by three aisles, and the boxes or stalls on either Bide 

 were sufficiently roomy, and, at tbo same time, at the proper ele- 

 vation to show the dogs off to good advantage. The attendants 

 were both civil :u I bey did their duty very faithfully. 



The food prepared lor the dogs was first-class in every way. Too 

 much cannot lie said in favor of the polite attention extended to 

 visitors and exhibitors by the genial secretary, Mr. Puddicombe 

 end by the other officers, of the society. Aa for Mr. Lincoln he 

 ' i his care and activity throughout. The at- 



[ could be desired, and the show proved a suo-

 to suit the judge, as he was passed unnoticed. There was not an 

 inferior dog in this class, although varied in type, some showing 

 the Irinh head.
