The Boys Opportunity.
The Agricultural and Industrial
Department of Lyndon Institute IN
Lyndon, established by Hon. t. N.
Vail of Lyndonville, has been in ex-
istence only since last October, yet
the second annual catalog just is
sued shows that the school is doing
an important work. The school has
an excellent course of instruction
and apparently sufficient corps of
instructors. The director says: Eve
want to aid all classes of boys to
good education along agricultural
pecially anxious that the boys
throughout the state who are financi-
ally unable to go away to schooI,
should become acquainted with this
institution. We are offering a limit
ed number of scholarships, whereby
poor or needy boys may receive an
education, providing they are will
ing to work for it, and we can fur
nish the work necessary to enable
them to do this With an oppor-
tunity like this no farmer boy in
Vermont can truthfu1ly say in after
years that mis- life had not been the
success it ought to be because when
young he could not secure the nee
essary education. Opportunity
knocks at every boys door. The
the most of his opportunity is the
boy who will push to the front as the
years come and go.-[An Exchange.
Fish and Game Interests.
State Commissioner John w. Tit
comb of the department of fisheries
and game has issued a letter of in
1 formation in relation to the posting
of waters, methods of stocking and
other matters of interest," to sports
men, which we reproduce full in an
other column. Commissioner Tit
comb has entered upon the work of
the department of fisheries and
game in manner that promises
much for the promotion of these in
terests, and it is no secret that he
is putting no smaIl part of his own
salary into the work so enthusiastic
is he in that connection.
mat part OF the letter OF 1nfOrma-
ton which has greatest value for
the States interests is the sugges-
ton as to the steps necessary to take
in order to secure fry and finger
lings. The law permits the COM
missioner to sell these, if any are
left after the calls for stocking pub
lie waters have been met Those
wanting to buy trout next year
should write the commissioner early
this fail, anu he viii try to make ar
arrangements for future needs
Il In this connection It is not to be
overlooked that landowner may
prohibit shooting, trapping or fish
ing on his premises, and is given the
legal right to make such prohibition
effective. There must be conspicuous
notices, however But in order tt
take advantage of this provision il
is necessary, that the owner annually
stock the waters at his own expense
The law is so involved, however
that any person who starts in to take
decided action will do well to secure
full copy of the fish and game laws
and thoroughly post himself before
he posts his premises. The same ad
i vice will apply to sportsmen who
t think of defying owners of land post
