BIRD HUNTING IN JERSEY.
Tho shooting Season Just Opened Eek
pected TO he Unusually Good.

SEA ISLE CITY. n. j., Sept. s.-The season
for shooting railbirds, mudhens, ducks
geese, brant and English or Wilson 'snipe
in New Jersey opened on Thursday. and
numbers of gunners have tried their luck
in the marshland lying In Cape May county
between Great Egg Harbor Bay on the
north and Richardson's Sound on the
south.
These great meadows, more than twenty
Ave miles long and from two to four miles
wide, are covered with four foot growth
OF tangled sedge grass and cut up by a
labyrinth Of small creeks and salt ponds,
along whose banks thousands Of mudhens
find an abiding place. This season the hens
sre unusually plentiful. Every nook Of
tangled grass Is the hiding place Of pair
or more Of the birds.
In the latter part Of May high storm
tides flooded the marshes, and 1t was feared
that the crop Of mudhens would be a poor
one, but they seem to have weathered
that storm and have thrived and grown
to maturity Capt. Bill Sutton Of this city :,
an expert. told THE Sun correspondent
that 1t would be the best season for game
birds seen in decade. Said he:

In my forty years Of experience a. a marsh
hen shooter I find that the birds prefer
the marsh where the mud Ia the softest
and the sedge OF the rankest growth. In
such places the birds have better chance
OF escaping the gunner and the dog.
$50 my advice to the sportsman who
wishes to enjoy the best shooting Is to
do all his work on the meadows that lie
nearest to the sea. He will find three times
the number Of birds feeding there. even

FISH STORIES.
A Flood OF Fish in Kansas.

From the Columbus Advocate.
Over 10000 hsh we're caught below the
dam on Spring River at Baxter Springs
Kan. In day. c. L. Smith Of tho Baxter
Nsus and o. c. Rummel of the city council
caught over 1000 after supper.
Most Of the fish were young carp and quite
small. but very good TO eat. The river in
places was perfectly black with them, and
nshermen dipped them up in buckets and
dip nets. Next day the river was lined with
men. women and children. who seemed to
get all the fish they could carry home in a
little while.
These fish probably come from stocked
ponds. which have been overlooked by the
high waters. There are three varieties Of
carp and few bass. perch and crappie. but
all are small. About fifteen years ago just
such a run OF fish came to Baxter Springs,
but they were all jack salmon. Weighing
from a pound to a pound and a half About
1000 were caught in one day below the dam,

TO HUNT DOWN THE DOsFIsH.
An Aggressive Campaign Planned Against
the Enemies OF Food Fishes.

the Enemies OF F0ou Fbhes.
QUEBEC, Sept s.--The agitation Of the
Canadian fishermen against the dogfsh
has proved successful, and the Government
of the Dominion has agreed upon plan OF
campaign against these useless and destruc-
tive fish.
The policy first proposed Was the pay
ment OF a sufficient bounty upon the fish
killed to encourage the fishermen to enter
upon the work OF destruction. This idea
has been abandoned, however, and the
plan to be pursued, as authorized by Pariia-
ment, Ia the construction Of three or four
reduction plants along the Atlantic coast
line Of the maritime provinces, where all
dogfsh brought In by the fishermen will be
purchased at a price which it is believed
will compensate them for their work.
1t Is believed that the reduction plants
will become self-supporting from the sale
Of the oil and glue procured from the fish.
Their construction is to be entered upon
Immediately.
Meantime unmistakable evidence OF the
friehtful depredations for which the dog
fish is responsible Is accumulating. Cod
fab, as we'll as salmon, are scarcer upon
the Canadian seacoast than ever before
Many OF the fishermen in the district Of
Gaspe have done 80 badly with their nets
this year that there is likely to be great
destitution among them Not only Ia 1t
believed that a marked decrease in the
number Of the fish has been brought about
by the destruction OF the young, but the
shoals OF those which survive and upon
which the fishermen depend for a living
have been driven from their accustomed
feeding grounds of the Canadian coast
by the destruction Of their food supply
by the dogfish.

not only deprives the commercial fishes

living elsewhere, but prevents the fisher

This Is goldfish time in Greater New York.
Wherever pond has survived the en-

Many Of the ponds are very old and city

malaria and rheumatism caught fish Of the
same sort in them when they were boys.
The boys have OF improved on the methods
Of their daddies, and there are hundreds
Of business and professional men ready
to make affidavits that they do not catch
such big fish or such shining fish as the
oldtimers did.
No hook has been brought out to super
sede that made Of a needle, first heated red
hot to make it bend easily, and the best bait
Is still paste of dough and sugar, mixed
with bits of thread to stick to the hook
The favorite rod is still light twig, for
the fish bite best close to the banks. Any
battered and rusty tin can, 30 that It does
not leak, is good enough to hold the catch.
The number Of fish caught in each pond
borders on the marvellous.
1t Ia seldom that a pond covers more
ground than two or three city lots, and
some are very deep and fed by springs,
but the water is always muddy and In long
spells without rain often more or less covered
with green scum.
More mnnows are caug hit now in the ponds
than fngerlings or bigger fish. The fish
do not begin biting freely until the clos
ing days OF August and the best fishing is
in September.
1t is no trick at all for boy to catch from
six to a dozen day, and this although as
many as ten or fifteen boys visit each OF the
