Sportsmen,a Save Your Game Heads.

The season for deer hunting is near
at hand. Hundreds of nice heads are
spoiled every year by ignorance and
careless handling. A skin for mount
ing should never be cut on the throat
or neck. Stick your deer under the
fore leg just in front of the heart.
Start to skin directly between the
ears. Cut down on the top of the
neck to the shoulders, being very
careful to keep in center c. neck. Cut
around neck well down to fore legs.
Be sure to get the skin long enough.
Skin up to the base of the skull, cut
off the ears and neck from the head.
Be sure to salt every part of the skin
and I'LL mouth. eyes and all bullet
holes with plenty Of SALT Scrape all
blood out of the hair and salt all bloody
places. Get it to your taxidermist as
soon as possible. Heads soon spoil.
Save. your nice heads if the horns
are poor, as any large taxidermist
will buy them for the skin. 1t will
fit some other fellow. Don't throw
away nice head, they are worth saw
ing.

another handshaking. No one can bet
ter entertain old soldiers than Com
rade Keating and son and Mr.. and Mrs.
| Wilson.

About Perch in Caspian Lake.


Last week the Monitor printed from
an exchange clipping setting forth
that the fishing was spoiled in Caspian
lake, Greensboro, because perch had
been put therein by persons who were
disgruntled because of certain law en-
forcement, The report is exciting
some discussion. Following is what
the Burlington Clipper has to say
about the matter:
eff it is true, as the Bennington
Banner charges, that the trout fishing
in Caspian lake, Greensboro, has been
ruined by vandals who put perch into
the pond, no punishment is severe
enough for the vandals who deliberate
ly destroyed the pleasure of hundreds
of innocent campers for the sole reason
that they wanted to get even with the
T townspeople for enforcing the Sunday
fishing etc. These parties
knew full we'll the spirit of that com
munity regarding the observance Of
Sunday and if they could not respect
the laws they should have kept out OF
the. town. Give US the names OF the
guilty parties and let every newspaper
in the state print them and hold them
up to the scorn. Of all decent people. :,

TERCENTENARY REPORT
Recommend the Discovery of Lake
Champlain be Fittingly Celebrated
Next Year.

The commission desires to call the
attention of the general assembly to
the fact that Samuel Champlain, in
July, 1909, not only discovered the
beautiful body of water which bears
his name but also was the first Euro
pean to set eyes upon any part of the
territory now known as Vermont.
The year 1909, therefore, will be the
three hundredth anniversary of the
discovery of Vermont. as we'll as that
desirable that this important event be
celebrated in fitting manner by the
people of this state.
| From time immemorial the observance
of times and events has been found de-
fsirable and in the truest sense profit
/ able. Those states and nations that
have attained the most advanced civil.
zation are those that have held in high
est esteem the famous deeds Of their
founders and patriots.
The historic Importance of this ami
versary, and proper consideration
for the good name of the state, alike
demand that this commonwealth take
official notice of the occasion. Such
q celebration for the good name Of the
state. alike demand that this common
wealth take official notice Of the occa-
sion. Such a celebration will be an in
spiration to a more earnest and careful
study of history to a truer apprecia-
tion Of the important place held in the
annals Of the nations by the territory
in which we live; and to higher stan
dard of patriotism.
1t is well for us to recall the prom
inent place which Lake Champlain
| holds in the story Of North America.
From prehistoric times it has been
great natural thoroughfare between
the St. Lawrence river and the Hudson
valley.
Three great nations. France, Great
Britain. and America, have made it a
highway in war and in peace.
The French erected a fort at Isle
La Motto in 1866, which was the first
settlement within the present limits of
Vermont, and although 1t was not lit
orally a permanent settlement, yet it
was frequent stopping place for voy-
ayers through the lake, and it is be-
