WORK IN A FISH 
HATCHERY 
(Continued from page 15) 
top there is a metal band and spout to 
meet any emergencies. 
These eg'gs are ready to plant from' 
the middle of April to the first of May. 
They, too, are carried out to favorite 
points in the lake and dropped over- 
board. On the ship used for this pur- 
pose the eggs Test in a tub fitted with 
a good-sized spout. As the vessel makes 
its way slowly over the grounds, the 
eggs fairly glide down and away. 
Keeping the hatchery ship-shape and 
clean is no little task. The building is 
an arcade, 137 feet in length by 76 
across. The floor is concrete; big, mani- 
partite windows pierce the walls. Down 
the length of that floor are set the al- 
most endless rows of dull, blue-gray 
wooden troughs; black-painted within, 
and with iron piping extending along 
below. Boxes and their screens for the 
trout are set here and there across these 
troughs. 
Six men are in general charge at the 
height of activities. A foreman, who 
is in supreme charge; a machinist; a 
flsh-culturist and helpers. Four men 
are also in attendance to care for the 
Government fish cars, which are always 
ready to carry fish to other places re- 
questing them. Fishermen may write 
asking that fish be planted nearby. The 
fish-car is then ordered to the hatchery 
and loaded with newly-hatched fish, — 
specimens half an inch long or so. 
These are placed in cans holding about 
five thousand fish each, 180 such cans 
to a car. These carmen have rooms on 
the upper floors of the hatchery. There 
is a rest room for all attendants and the 
superintendent of the hatchery has a 
house of his own nearby. 
I T is the desire of the authorities that 
the public at large shall see what 
is being done toward fish-culture here 
in Michigan and visitors are made wel- 
come. Not only are all processes open 
to their inspection, but to bring them 
in at times when work is rather slack 
there are other attractions besides. At 
the far front of the hatchery a good- 
sized aquarium is maintained. White- 
fish, huge gray speckled lake-trout, 
rainbow trout, brook trout, speckled 
trout, German trout or brown trout, 
all are here. Every so often an attend- 
ant feeds some bread to a pair of silvery 
white-fish; or minnows will be supplied 
the other fish. Again he attends the 
“happy family” in another case nearby, 
— a veal-pouch fish and a carp, a Ger- 
man brown trout and a perch and a 
large-mouthed sucker living very amica- 
bly side by side. Things of this sort 
attract the dilettante summer resorter 
on the beaches and bring him inside to 
inspect and to see other things. They 
lure him to the cool depths of the 
hatchery arcade and excite his interest 
in the other work there. They lead him 
to ask questions, to gain information, 
and then he goes about telling others. 
Thus they help Uncle Sam in his very 
big task in winning public support to 
his very big work with the fish.
