Fishing Lines. 
A TOTAL of 100,000,000 wall-eycd pike and 
4,000,000 brook trout will be distributed through¬ 
out the lakes and streams of Minnesota this 
year. The last of the trout are just leaving the 
hatcheries, and crews of men are in the great 
North woods gathering pike spawn to be hur¬ 
ried to the hatching tanks. Within sixty days 
the distribution will be completed and a record 
established of 396,573,709 small fish or “fry," 
as commonly called, liberated in free waters 
within seven years by the United States Fish 
Commission. This record is probably unequaled. 
Henry Hanley, a farmer of Linestone town¬ 
ship, in Mason county. Ill., has been guarding 
his cornfield with a shotgun during the past 
week. The recent high water flooded his land 
and hundreds of good-sized fish from the Illi¬ 
nois River were stranded when the water re¬ 
ceded. Nearby residents have been seining the 
fish from the low places and carrying them off.
