Wants Place to Rear Trout.

State Fish and Game Commits
sioner j. W. Titcomb is still on the
lookout for an Essex county site
suitable for the establishment of a
permanent field station for trout
rearing. While he is planning to
build small station on Cold brook
in Vernon this spring he does not
feel that this site is suitable for a
permanent plant, on account of the
likelihood of it's being overlooked
when the Connecticut river is at
flood height.
That the people of Essex county
may know the requisites for field
station Mr.. Titcomb has outlined his
views on the subject as follows:
Suitable water of sufficient volume
is the first thing to be considered,
and all other factors are subordinate
to this. The water at the source of
supply should never reach a temper
allure higher than 60 degrees, even
at times of drouth and extremely
warm weather. The minimum win
ter temperature should not be lower
than 33 degrees, and winter tenn
perature of from Sc to 48 degrees is
preferable. For Matching fish eggs
the water should be free from sedi-
ment, although for rearing young
fish after they have reached the
feeding stage roll in the water re-
sulting from occasional storms is not
Objectionable. For Matching pur-
poses a volume of not less than 200
gallons minute is required, while
for rearing fry to fingerlings not
less than 500 gallons a minute is
needed.
There should be fall of not less
than five feet. between the water
level at the source of supply and the
ground level of the site where the
hatchery is to be located. For
economy of construction it is usually
preferable to locate the plant near
the course of the water supply.
While springs of the necessary vol
ume are difficult to find it is not
impossible that a trout stream whose
source is springs may meet the re-
quirements. Second only to the
quality and quantity of water is
the accessibility of the site to rail.
road station, preferably where ex.
press trains stop.
Commissioner Titcomb says if it is
impossible to find an Essex county
site with these requisites on a mair
line of railroad the natural alterna
tive would be a site in some river val
ley or at some point on main line il
an adjoining county. He would b.
glad to hear from anyone in thi
COUNTY in regard to suitable loca
ton for a permanent trout rearing

are clear, deep and silvery, contain
ing a species of trout called lunge.
In 1853 a dam was made at the out
let, and the waters raised six feet,
affording the most desirable water
power. At the same time saw-mill
was erected by Mr.. Norris, which
has manufactured large quantities
of lumber, and is now in operation
This lake is surrounded entirely
by forest of pine, spruce and hem
lock. On the eastern side of the
lake, near the base of a hill, is a
cave which is occasionally visited by
explorers of natures wonders, some
of whom have traversed its subter-
ranean passage to the distance of
200 feet.
This portion of the town, of about
five thousand acres, is very well ad-
apted to cultivation and improve
ment; is covered with pine, spruce
and hemlock, interspersed with
birch, cedar, and rock-maple, and is
watered by Paul stream, which has
it's rise in CRANKY and Ferdinand;
running east and receiving the
waters of the lake, finds it's way
through the corner of Brunswick,
and empties into Connecticut river.
This stream embraces superior mill
privileges, and undoubtedly is not
surpassed in northern Vermont.
In 1854 large saw-mill was erect
ed on this stream, in Maidstone,
which annually manufactures
100000 feet of lumber, which
goes over the Grand Trunk railway
to Portland market. Both the :bove
mills are owned by the firm of
Brown and Follansby.
There are two smaller saw-mills in
town; one on the mill brook, built
the past season on the site of an old
one useless from age, by Z. K. Wash
burn; the other, on a small brook
on the farm of James Follansby, and
is now owned by ]. Follansby & JOS
eph Rich. The first saw-mill in town
was built on this brook by Moody
Rich, in 1928.
This town is particularly rich in
interval land, havi 1g more acres, it
is said, than any other town in Yer.
mont, on Connecticut river, and is
almost exclusively an agricultural
town.
The village of Guildhall being neal
the line between that town anc
Maidstone, accommodates one as wei
as the other with mechanics stores
