The Brown Trout in Sluggish Waters.
Question-Do you think that the brown
trout could be stocked In a stream tha J
tribe too warm for them and also Goes
the brown trout grow fast? j. y. =;
nan than the brook trout and FOR thht
reason has been stocked in streams th "a.
have become too sluggish ana "AFh i''
This change in temperature is due in a
great number of instances to the cutting
out OF timber along the s'r sdh an anu ea emit
that the native trout has passed 10 the
happy fishing waters.
Many streams OF this character * stocked
with the brown brothers would In a short
time make fishing of the finest.
The brown trout Is killer. ana the ia tI
that he has been planted in streams IN
which the native trout held domain and
then routed this little sport out OF his
home waters has IN v way E ~ the h bows
but plant him In waters that have been
deserted by the brook trout and you VIII
amount Of kick he develops in his tail in
He lacks on weight rapidly, running up
the fighting muscle at the rate OF aoou;
a pound a year which sizes him UP well

Joys Missed.
MY friend. do you know what It Is to feel
The plunge Of A gamey trout
To hear the sound OF the whlrring reel
Al the line goes singing out?
To cast a nv DER a deep, dark pool
Where the salmon makes his lair,
And draw from its shaded depths and cool
A silver fash IN the air?
What such Joys have never come your way
And you really mean II, too7
Well. then. my friend. all have to say
Is-rm mighty sorry for you.
