Making Homes for the Trout.

M. j. Hapgood is working a half dozen
gangs of men up on the mountain streams
of Peru, enlarging the capacity of the
streams for the trout. He gave it trial
two years ago and it has proved very sue
cessful-well worthy of imitation, and the
present dry time is extremely favorable
for the work. The plan is to select suit
able places in the brook beds, clean them
out by throwing up the stones and small
stones and coarse gravel as an embank-
ment at the foot thus making homes and
feeding grounds for the most desirable
creatures. Great care should be taken to
have large rocks at the bottom, and large
fiat stones at the top and the wings well
protected, with the centers of the dams
left lowest. It is perfectly astonishing
how much can be accomplished in sin
gle day by a couple of Industrious men
working intelligently. Sometimes 20 or
more good holes can be made. A lengthy
level spot where the water will settle
back under large rocks or roots is the
most favorable place. 1t must ever be
borne in mind that trout must have hid
ing places as well as water. Sometimes
homes can be easily made by filling in a
narrow place between two rocks with
large stones and small ones chinked in
around where the water will be two or
three feet deep and thus afford winter
quarters for the beauties" Taking the |
long sighted view of matters, one can
hardly conceive of any work more prof
itably laid out The trouble is in the
'long sight"

Deserved Praise for Col. Estey.

Col. J. GRAY Estey of Brattleboro
comes IN for q deserved compliment in
the report Of the inspection of the Ma
tional Guard and coming as it does
from Lieut.. l.. A. /. Chapman, com
mandaut Of Norwich university, it
means something. The report says:
"Thc regiment is fortunate in hav-
ing a. its commanding officer man
who Is thoroughly interested in his
work. who studies military subjects, is
well informed in all the duties con
neetcd with his position and who com
hines with a strict sense of military
discipline the courtesy of refined gen
tleman. While the above statement
may appear strong il is meant to be
SO. II is believed that the war de-
partment should know the value of this
officer In his present position and APP
prceiate the fact that great reliance
could be placed upon his Judgment on
10 matters pertaining to the National
Guard Montpelier Journal

The decision of Judge J. NJ. Tyler not
TO be candidate for reelection as judge
of the supreme court will be received with
genuine regret on the part of members of
the bar as well as members of the bench.
In point of years of service Judge Tyler's
tenure on the bench is exceeded only by
Chief Judge Rowell. For 81 years he has
held this responsible position .among a
body of men whose decisions and opinions
stand so high throughout the country.
Ten successive Legislatures have rendered
him elections He has given the best
wears of his life to the service of his state,
for which the state is truly grateful. He
was a Judge of tender sympathies and
many young lawyers had occasion to call
him blessed" His courteous treatment of
all impressed everybody. Judge Tyler re-
tires because he needs rest and may go
abroad and travel for while. He takes
off the ermine, carrying with him the
love, respect and high esteem of bench,
bar and layman.-Montpelier Argus.
