sweet voiced girl old enough to have
been my father said that to me in a

cold streams by day and making ar
rangements by night for kind neighbors
here TO meet me along the streams with
trout on the following day.
My physician advised me TO come
here, and fearing that might overtax

away TO a spring by the mountain brook,
where the wild thyme blows or the mint
or something that has medical properties

who had been selling me what eggs /
used on the farm for two years told me
that my hens needed corn soaked III
brine, and that I would find this n good
thing, as it would also have a tendency
TO keep them ont of the garden. 1t did
keep them out of the garden, but not
out of future state.
We farmers believe too readily what
IS told us We are not conservative

sportsman if / We're to tell how killed

some of my friends think it would have
been adopted.

that again TO the line, looked careful
" to my reel and rcd, put on a pair of
wadinC boots, and the first day got
mired.
That evening we played six hand
euchre.
On the following day cast my fly a
few times. but got no results until put
on a tall acrobatic worm. Long before
evening / got a rise. Trout here rise
readily 70 the worm. l was 50 surprised
at the attack Of the trout that almost
