yet 1t can beproven satisfactorily. There
are but few farms in Vermont upop
winch pure spring water cannot be found
IN plentiful supply. The expense of a
tank or tanks suitable Or raising 900
pounds of trout is no more expensive
than hog pen for sheltering the same
KIND OF pork. The expense of care and
feeding are no more the danger of
cholera" or other disease no greater,
yet we have experience with "hog,"
put none with trout, and therefore are
fearful OF experiments. and naturally are

grandtathers. Suppose every farm hav-
ing the adequate water supply possessed
a trout tank holding n few hundred
trout, would it add to its attraction To
purchasers, your children and friendsp

source of profit and pleasure all around?
rake for instance the farm of Nelson
Jones in the outskirts of this village.
where large supply of the purest spring
water abounds. The expense of front
tanks on large scale, would be compar-
awe nominal. 1t is not visionary to
assert that $500 expended would add
many fold to its present value. and this
farm is one of untold numbers among the
Vermont hills. Let us reduce to figures
as near as practical what might be done
with 1000 trout in two years, allowing
for care and feeding the same as so much
pork. / he 1000 trout fry would cost s.
delivered, and in one year would be
seven and half inches long and would
weigh one-fourth pound on the average
at two years of age each trout would
weigh three-fOurths of q pound. Thus
you would have $50 pounds of trout to
each 1000 which sells readily for fifty
cents per pound, giving you the snug
sum OF $4,000 per 1000 trout. or
course it will be said that this looks
well on paper, but can not be said of hen
farming or horse raising, dairying or any,
thing else? 1t of course requires more
attention, but no more in caring for
your hens, hogs or anything else. and

times as much as any of the industries

Hardwick Resources Waiting TO be Re.
veloped.
Several exchanges are overrunning
with advice about just what to do TO
boom Vermont town. MANY towns
have natural business ADVANTAGES and
facilities, which only need to be well adj
vertised to be utilized AMI developed.
These are largely opportunities for the
profitable location of manufacturing in
dustries. Hardwick has these. but has
something else of vastly more present
importance. This is the unlimited gran
lite deposits, which only need to be more
extensively developed to prove mine of
wealth to the operators and resultinrly
a vast increase in the volume of local
business. With very exceptions Hard
wick has a tremendous advantage in
business possibilities over other Yer
mont towns, as our wealth is with us
and is only waiting to be taken out of
the ground to be converted into valuable
merchandise. The business future of
the town is founded on rock. The hills
are permanent and imperishable. and are
waiting to yield up their wealth. -Hard-
