TROUTING GOOD IN JERSEY.
The Sport the Best In Years-Theory OF
the Anglers About II.

HAcxErrsrowN, N. j.. May o. The
early spring anglers in all parts Of northern
New Jereey have not in years met with
such success In their quest for trout as they
have had this season.
There IL an old adage in Warren. Sussex
and Hunterdon counties to the effect that
the season for brook trout is in the very
early spring, just as soon as the snow water
from the hills and mountains stops running
and the warm days come. As rule all
the trout that will bite are taken in the first
few April days.
This season, however, the trout fishing
in all the streams continues to be excellent,
and the fish average we'll In size, better than
for years past. And they rise to fly or red
worm without any coaxing especially
on a cool morning.
All the tributaries Of the Waikiki up
in northern Sussex. the Musconetcong
In Warren and the branches Of the Della
ware and the Pequest, which drain this
part Of the State, have been known for
years a. trout streams. and have been
whipped times without number, but seldom

this season.
For q good many years past 1t has been
the custom Of farmers to post their land.
and that has been done this year Gene
rally the farmers themselves took hand in
catching whatever there was to be taken,
but this year the rule is varied. They
find It more profitable to board the anglers
Newark, Trenton and even Philadelphia,
and who spend three or four days or week
In brook trout fishing.
Some old-time anglers say that there are
reasons for the abundance OF trout In these
waters other than the fact that some Of
to time by the State Fish Commission.
Their theory is that trout from six months
to a year old are about the most delicate
OF fish, and that the heavy storms which
come In February and early March gen
orally take them into the larger rivers,
where they perish or, are, DESTROYED by
the carp, bass and pickerel which inhabit
these waters, especially the carp.
This season 1t is commended that there
were few spring floods. with the result
that the trout are to be found in the smaller
brooks. where they are more at home than
anywhere else.
Much Of the best fishing in this part OF
the State is not difficult being across
meadow lands and in heavily wooded glens,
rather than in tangles and through marsh
lands. From present indica atoms trout will
be quite plentiful for some weeks to come,

whose lands have streams passing through
them.
Those who have gone over to the west
OF the Great Meadows, q moraes-like ex-
panse some miles west Of Hackettstown,
and fshed in the streams which make up
the Pequest River, have had rather better
success than any OF tho other fishermen in
these parts, although 1t is still good in parts

the relative crops produced at the re-
spective periods. Mr.. Mills summar-
lied the results of his three seasons
feeding as follows: That to produce one
pound of gain, beef, it requires 1921
pounds of hay of the early cut, 1874 of
the medium cut, 1897 of the late cut
(page IL, Bulletin AZ. But we have
seen that the relative quantities of the
early, medium and late cut are 100, 126
and 145, accordingly we would obtain
for the values of the respective cuts in
terms of beef, 5.4 pounds for the early,
3.S pounds for the medium and 60 for
the late cut. We would therefore ans
wer the question in so far as it pertains
to the first cutting, that the best time
to cut alfalfa is at the period of full
bloom, for at this period we not only get
the largest amount of hay, but also the
largest return in pounds of beef per
acre.
The results of feeding experiments
with the second cutting lead to the con-
clusion that the best time to cut this
crop is what Mr.. Mills designated as his
medium cut.
| conclude that, after allowing a little
latitude in the use of the terms half
bloom. full bloom, late bloom, etc, that
the time to cut alfalfa in order to get
the greatest value per acre is at the
period of full bloom, and that there is IA
period OF about week during which its
value is essentially constant.

that this is thoroughly understood and
that it is accepted as a fact that the crop
increases in weight from the time of
budding till it reaches or slightly passes
full bloom, and then decreases. The
amount of this increase will vary with a
number Of conditions, but the following
figures, based upon the results of obser-
walton, may serve to give a definite idea
of how much this increase amounts to.
If we cut enough alfalfa in bud to make
100 pounds of hay. the same alfalfa
would make 1875 pounds if allowed to
stand till half bloom, and AS pounds if
allowed to stand till in full bloom if al
lowed to stand longer it would decrease.
If the question were when shall we
cut alfalfa in order to make the most
hay?' the answer would be when it is
in full bloom. The question as presented
to us is. when is the best time to cut
ALFALFA This time is evidently that at
which we will have not the largest yield
of hay, nor of the best quality, but the
largest yield of digestibility. Every
feeder will mentally add, But there are
other things to be considered, which is
true, but it is assumed that the animals
will eat the hay OF which we are writing
and will relish it.
eve have given the amounts of hay
which the same quantity of alfalfa would
give when in bud, in half bloom and in
full bloom using the figures obtained
for our Colorado alfalfa The 100 pounds
of early cut hay will contain Is pounds
of albumenoids and LIS pounds of amids
the l26 pounds of hay, alfalfa cut in half
bloom, will contain Is 8 pounds OF albu-
menoids and 80 pounds of amids the
l45 pounds of hay cut in full bloom will
contain 10 pounds of albumenoids and 2
pounds of amids. Leaving the value of
the amids out of the question, for they
are assumed to have only small value
as compared with albumeniods, and re-
ducing these figures to the basis of a
pound we find the relative values to be
l.l6 for the early cutting, LOO for that
cut in half bloom and l.0S for that cut
in full bloom. Or stated otherwise, So
pounds of alfalfa hay cut in bud, or 81. 6
pounds cut IN full bloom are equal in
value, using the alumenoids as the
criterion, to 100 pounds of alfalfa hay
cut in half bloom, so that alfalfa hay cut
in half bloom is inferior to that cut in
full bloom, and still more inferior to that
cut in bud. In this statement we as
sumo that the albumenoids are equally
digestible at the three different stages of
development here specified. If this be
true, the largest amount of digestible
proteids would be obtained by cutting in
full bloom, for while the relative values
of the hay cut in bud to that cut in full
bloom is as 100 to l07, the yield is about
100 to 145, leaving an advantage of IS
pounds of hay on each lbs pounds of
hay cut in full bloom. These figures re-
fer to the first cutting.
1.-The result of experiments made in
the artificial digestion OF the proteids is
slightly in favor of the hav cut when
