| FISHCULTURE IN NEW YORK. 
| Continued from page 742. 
tation. It is a very important establishment 
for the culture of marine animals, such as 
the smelt, cod, tomcod, weakfish, flatfish and 
jobster. Through its operation the shores of 
[Long Island have been thoroughly stocked with 
melt and tomcod very greatly to the delight of 
the anglers, and with beneficial effect upon the 
‘upply of food fish. A few inexpensive changes 
which the commissioner has authorized recently 
will permit an enormous increase of activity at 
Sold Spring Harbor, especially with regard to 
marine species like the cod, weakfish, flatfish 
land lobster. Some of these species require 
special apparatus which would be maintained 
land operated. Already the station is credited 
jwith about 105,000,000 of marine fry annually, 
)pesides the other work based upon brook trout, 
\rainbow trout, brown trout and other well- 
known game fishes. The introduction of an 
/ncreased amount of spring’ water will enable 
\Foreman Walters to use this water not only in 
he hatchery, but also in all the numerous ponds 
'>f the station, and the effect will be to eradicate 
‘some of the most troublesome diseases which 
jaave ever attacked brook trout and brown trout 
jander: cultivation. Some of the trout streams 
Jon, the north shore of Long Island are polluted 
‘by sewage. One of the results of this pollution 
jis a skin disease particularly fatal to brook and 
‘brown trout. Another pest is the ulcer disease, 
lreferred to in the account of fish diseases. So 
\injurious have these disorders become at cer- 
tain times that tens of thousands of large trout 
‘have been killed by them. At Cold Spring 
‘Harbor, thanks to the new supply of artesian 
‘water, the troubles have been practically over- 
/come. 
| A visit to the Fulton Chain hatchery showed 
the brook trout and lake trout fry in excellent 
;condition. This station is favorably situated 
for extensive work in the culture of frostfish 
—a small species of whitefish greatly prized by 
\the public. In Eighth Lake, particularly, there 
jis a large race of frostfish from which Foreman 
‘Burke obtained 575,000 eggs during the last sea- 
‘son. The average weight of the fish is about 
jone and one-half pounds. The spawning time 
jis later than in any other of the lakes of the 
‘Fulton Chain, occurring in the latter part of 
/December. 
The frostfish is valuable not only for human 
food, but also for feeding the large trout and 
‘other game fishes. An objection urged to this 
species, and to all the whitefishes, is the fact 
\jthat it does not take the hook and is caught 
only in nets. It is sometimes held that such 
fishes are unworthy of the attention of the fish- 
leulturists, but it should be remembered that the 
time is not far distant when the inoperative de- 
mands of the people for food fish must be met, 
and it will undoubtedly become necessary to 
amend the laws so as to permit the capture of 
|whitefishes by any available method. It is true 
that such permision may involve the occasional 
idestruction of trout, but the same objection 
jwill apply to many other methods of capture 
not authorized by law. As the main object of 
fishery regulation is the greatest good to the 
greatest number, it goes without saying that 
isome modifications must be made from time to 
time to meet the urgent needs and demands of 
ithe people. 
Practically no stock or brood fish are kept 
jat the’ Adirondack Hatchery. Such eggs of the 
brook trout, lake trout, whitefish and frostfish 
as we collect are procured by netting from 
nearby lakes and ponds, which is done by the 
regular employees of the hatchery. The result 
of this season’s collection was as follows: 
|Whitefish eggs, 3,570,000; frostfish, 1,104,000; 
\brook trout, 256,250; lake trout, 32,500. The 
|\whitefish collection fell considerably short of 
former years. 
The work of the Chautauqua Hatchery has 
been very successful. With the aid of a naphtha 
launch, we were able to increase the take of 
maskalonge eggs from 5,601,000 to 8,305,500 
which made the past season notable for one of 
the largest takes of eggs the hatchery has had. 
More fry were hatched than in any previous

LEFEVER SHOT GUN LUXURY 
We do not compete, and never have, with machine 
made shot guns which are machined out in large 
quantities and sold at low prices and big discounts. 
Nor do we care for the trade that panders to low price. 
For nearly half a century Lefever Shot Guns have 
catered only to the crack marksman ani the genuine 
sportsman who realize that shooting is a luxury 
and that without a luxurious shot gun it is a dull 
business. By luxury we mean not only beautiful 
design and handsome finish, but a gun that is a real 
luxury to use. 
In this limited space we cannot prove to you that 
no foreign or American gunsmith has ever built a shot 
gun that ranks with the present Lefever Hammerless 
makes, but if you will read our catalogue and then 
examine a few Lefevers at any store, you will agree 
that the above statement, though seemingly strong, is 
altogether true. Even though you are not an expert, 
the beauty and the skill and the infinite simplicity of 
Lefever construction will force you to admit the truth 
of the above claim. No exnert will deny it. 
Seni for our catalocue before vou forget to (it is 
free), and remember this: Every Lefever is a thorough- 
bred. Lefever nrices range from $25.00 to $400.00.
