Several pioneers state a wagon-body full ( twenty-five or thirty bushels) could be had for 25 cents-about 1 cent a bushel ; fifty wagon loads per day have been dipped out; tens of thousands of bushels taken during the winter. Other kinds of fish at some seasons were uearly as abundant. They were obtained mainly to feed hogs. Many of the fish died of suffocation because of the immense masses and the want of aerated water.
