fishing have been harried and worried and
frightened by ominous signs posted on
trees, fences, ETC., saying Shooting, trap
ping or fishing on these premises strictly
prohibited"
The last legislature amended the law on
this subject in way that makes fishermen
smile. Under the amended law, all pri-
vately posted streams will be open to the
public for fishing on May 1st next, unless
they or the posted portions have been
stocked with artifcially hatched or reared
fish at the expense of the owners or occu-
pants who do the posting.
Sec. 1926 of the Vermont statutes, as
amended by No. 101, Acts Of 1898 reads
as follows: If the owner or occupant of en-
closed land or cultivated land not enclosed,
con.picuously posts notices on the same, as
hereinafter provided, that shooting, trap
ping, or fishing thereon is prohibited, a
person who thereafter wilfully enters upon

ance: every year l hear Of caterpillars
destroying whole orchards. There is moth
ing so easy to dispose of. l bore a hole
in the tree deep enough to reach the sap,
fill the hole with sulphur and plug it up.
The sap takes the sulphur to every limb
and twig and the caterpillars disappear at
once. have used it for years."
1t is claimed that this remedy is applied
to both maple and fruit orchards. Farmers
could easily doctor their trees after the
sugar season is over with. However, it
might be best to experiment little before
buying sulphur by the ton.
