pursued the big fish will eat the small ones. and the

Too mpch importance cannot be attached to the ncces

States as to create serious apprehension They nave
done their worst, and robbed many streams OF more

which caused the sacrifice.
From, our experience We Should think that stocking
living spring waters with trout propagated by nature
