The Study OF Birds.

Circular No. 5 of the "Educa-
tional Information" series issued by
the Department of Education of the
state Of Vermont says:
''Wherever bird study is attempted in
our schools most gratifying results are
secured. Judging from the effect of such
study on the children, rs reported by
teachers and observing members of the
community, it is safe TO assert that no
branch of nature study presents greater
possibilities for ethical and individual cul-
tnre than wisely directed, active interest
in our native birds.
Furthermore us we begin to realize the
economic value OF the service which birds
render t" humanity the more we are i'm
pressed with the necessity of an increased
public intelligence regarding matter so
directly affecting public welfare. When we
consider that from various causes the bird
population of this state mas decreased 80
per cent. within the last Is years. and
also take into account the increase in
ravages by insect pests during recent
years, we face facts which tell their own
story and present an added III gument, If

TO DYNAMITE THE PIcKEREL
If a Plan to Stock Silver Lake
With Trout is Carried Out.

There has been under cousidera-
ton for u year oreshose a plan to
stock Silver Lake as Barnard with
trout, which to be successful must
include the wholesale destruction of
the pickerel and other fish that may
now be there. The proposition has
not had much discussion yet, but it
is considered entirely feasible by
those Interested, in Barnard and
elsewhere.
To dispose Of the present inhab-
itants OF the lake--ior pickerel
would soon kill every trout placed
thcre--dynamite would be brought
into play--the lake would be mined
as was New York harbor during
the Spanish-Americun war, though
the explosives would be distributed
in slightly different shape in these
days Of peace. The explosion of
dynamite would, it is believed, kill
every fish there, and lime, which is
also bad for fish, could also be used
If necessary.
Permission to carry out the plain
must first be obtained from the state
fish commission, as Silver lake is
public water, add if this is granted
there seems to be no great obstacle,
financial or Other wise, to the sue
cess Of the undertaking. 1t is not
proposed to ask the state to stock
the t,ke, hut 'torraise the necessary
funds by subscription in Woodstock,
Bethel, kovalton, Pomfret aud other
nearby towns, which would doubt
less be readily interested in the
project.
Trout would undoubtedly live and
flourish in Silver lake. The water
is clear, the bed of the lake clean
and other conditions seem favorable
for the project. The lake covers
from 800 to 400 acres. and this
acreage can be reduced considera-
bly, by drawing off the water, thus
lettering the chances of the success
of any dynamiting operations.

Manchester to Have an Artificial
Lake.

One OF the largest real estate deals
ever made in Manchester has just
been closed. A. M. Gilbert Of Chi
cago has purchased the farms of
Fred Fish, Edgar Wilcox, and the
two large farms of the Walker
brothers, and will erect a fine cot
tage on the bluff east of the cas-
cades. His object in purchasing
the large quantity of land is for the
purpose Of damming the Battenkill
river so as to overflow several hun
dred acres of meadow land, making
quite lake.
