information which trout devotees would

when a trout Is hooked, If the banks

thus fouling the line, and then brought In
through the brush by moving the rod
backward, keeping 1t down low. Many
trout will be lost by attempting to land

only be used as last resort in the worst

and quietly, keep as far back from the
brook as possible without using too long

strains Of corn is in almost every case
materially larger than that of the pa

method of increasing the yield can be
utilized in farm practice by the nm-
