WAGING BROWN-TAIL WAR.
Government Inspector Carefully Ex-
amineS Incoming Trains.

Anyone boarding one of the night
pecially those arriving from Portland
over the Maine Central tracks might
notice a man closely examining the
cars inside and out and looking in the
folds of canvas between the cars and
also around the lights and headlight
of the engine and wonder what he
was doing.
A query would elicit the informa-
ton that he was government inspec-
tor in a division of the United States
forestry department engaged in look
ing for moths of the browntail and
gypsy variety. The brown moth lays
the eggs from which the common
tent caterpillar matches that does so
much damage to the foliage. There
are certain districts through which
the trains pass that are more or less
affected by the brown moth, while
there are other sections to the north
and south that are free from this pest
so these men are engaged in prevent
ing the spread of this insect from one
locality to another. The lights of the
train attract the moths and it makes
a dangerous medium for the spread
of the moth to sections that are free
from the pest.
AS has been said the eggs of the
brown moth are those from which
the destructive tent caterpillar hatch.
The moths are nocturnal and are to
be found flying at night during the
greater part of July. The females
deposit the eggs upon twigs of trees
and soon die. The eggs remain I'M
Matched until the following spring, al
though the caterpillar is fully form
ed within the shell before winter.
The eggs hatch in the early spring
as soon as the earliest leaves begin
to expand. The American tent cater
pillar feeds normally on the leaves Of
apples and cherry trees, while the
forest tent caterpillar which is close
ly related, feeds on maple and other
vegetation. The full grown cater
pillar usually crawls beneath a loose
board or under the loose bark of a
tree where it prepares a safe place
for the next stage of existence, which
is the cocoon stage, from which it
energies the brown-tail or brown
moth, which the government is max
ing efforts to exterminate.

TO DEVELOP POWER.
Swanton's New Hydro Electric Plant
Will Cost About $4,000.

Swanton, July 21.-At an adjourned
village meeting last evening it was
voted to develop the Highgate power
to extent of a 1000 horsepower unit,
which will cost approximately $55, 900.
This means that new power-house
will be erected at the foot of the rap
ids where the fall is very much great
er than the present plant, which is To-
Gated near the dam. This step has
become necessary owing to the con-
stantly increasing demand for cleo
tricity for both lighting and motor
purposes. The blasting for the new
penstock will begin at once and it
is expected the new plant will be in
operation by next May. This work
will cost around $4,000, so that the
total cost of development for Swan
toms new hydro-electric plant will be
around $4,000.

or half-burned cigar dropping on the
piazza floor may have caused it, one
of the boarders sleeping on the piaz-

house and has only $1,000 insurance,

A Move In the Interests of More Fish

N
State Fish and Game Commissioner
John w. Titcomb of Lyndonville has
ordered closed to fishing for a period
of rs years the headwaters of various
streams in Addison and Rutland
counties. The Rutland News ap-
proves this action heartily, for it is
practically in line with what it has
urged, if it could be accomplished,
viz, the placing of trout fry and other
fish fry in suitable waters for their
reception and protection until they
have grown to a size where they were
large enough and husky enough to
take care of themselves in the brooks
as they are generally found in the
state.
This action of Mr. Titcomb relates
to the closing of just such waters as
are favorable for the protection of the
fry. There would doubtless be great
advantage if in numerous other To-
calities of the state similar head
waters would also be reserved for the
same purpose. OF course there is
nothing to prevent the fish when they
grow large enough from getting into
the larger streams. There will be no
loss to fishing resources, but rather a
gain.
A great many fishermen who are
interested in the restocking of Yer
mont waters have felt that a very
small percentage of the fry, as they
are ordinarily planted, survive. Any
means, therefore, looking to the in
crease of the number of small fish
saved will operate to the great ad-
vantage of improving the fishing
erywhere.-Rutland News.
