SOME WAYS OF GAME FIs...
Only Twelve in American Waters That
Leap.

Only Twelve in American Waters That
Leap.
Louis Rhead In the Metropolitan
"Of the many fishes in American wa
tiers there are only twelve that lnvarf-
ably rise above the surface when they
feel the tension of restraining line;
these are the salmon (both sea and
landlocked), the black bass, the rain
bow trout, the Northwestern muskal-
longe, the grayling and occasionally
the black spotted trout Of Western wa
tiers. OF the salt water fishes that leap
there are only the tarpon ladyfis
Spanish maekerel, the kingfish Of
southern seas, and the needle fish, or
key west. which is the most skillful
acrobat of them all, either in fresh or
salt water, often making double somer
saults."
Such are the words of a famous
, practical angler of fifty years expert
ence, and quote him because my own
small compared to his-exactly CO.
| incides. Many anglers will grade their
conceptions of real sport by the prac-
tice of the fish leaping and with rea-
son, too, for here he makes his SUI
preme and final effort to escape from
the barb, not because it gives him pain
but 1t restraints his freedom.
The hook always pierces the spongy,
muscular skin of the upper lip
when the artificial fly is used. and
sometimes when live bait Is used, and
/ though in the case of bass and pike,
when allowed to gorge live bait. such
as frogs and minnows, the hook nat
urally pierces tender part and they
I at once try 10 eject 1t. AS they cannot
do so, owing to the waters resistance,
they then try to leap over 1t and by so
doing often succeed in Kidding them
selves Of the offending hook.

EVERY WISCONSIN
CROP A SUCCESS
NOTHING FAILS ON THE FARMS
THIS SEASON, SAYS
True.
ONLY BAD FEATURE is STORMS
IN SOUTHWESTERN
COUNTIES.

Exceptionally fine prospects for
good crops in Wisconsin are an
uounced by John NJ. ue, secretary
OF the state boarr sricultdre, in
his state crop report 4or July, issued
yesterday.
Crop reports last received at this
Office are uniformly encouraging"
says MI True. THE absence Of any
general unfavorable conditions affect
ing growing crops, the exemption
from damage from severe storms,
except portions of Crawford and Grant
counties-and the fact that no crop
promises failure, causes feeling Of
confidence on the part of the farmer.
seldom so generally noted.
Immense Hay Crop.
IAN immense hay crop is now being
harvested, and quite part of the
clover acreage has already been Sc
cured in good condition. Pastures
remain exceptionally good, and in
themselves are great source of
wealth to the dairyman.
Winter grains are maturing with
out drawback and promise well. Bar
ley is heading nicely. Oats are free
from smut, and do not generally show
an overgrowth causing loss from
lodging. Head crops are repo ed as
being generally in clean condition
from cultivation.
Good Stand of Corn.
Corn is still low. but the stand is
good and the plant thrifty, and farmers
are not discouraged at the outlook.
Tobacco is doing well, except that
many fields have been injured by cut
worms. The early prediction of a
falling off in acreage of this crop is
verified, and the reduction is esti-
mated at from 10 to Is per cent. from
last season.
Sugar Beets Satisfactory.
Potatoes are doing well, though
bugs are plentiful Peas promise a
fair crop Sugar beets are making
satisfactory growth
Small fruits generally give pro
mise of being aoundant,-while apples
are falling badly. and fair crop
can only be expected from orchards
that have been thoroughly sprayed"
The condition of the principal farm
crops as shown by reports from cor.
respondents, is given in the following
