The Minnesota massacre occurred
in 1852. In 1851 the Sioux Indians
had sold the greater part of Mime
sofa. There was some delay in the
governments fulfllment of the terms
Of the treaty. and the Indians became
dissatisfied. This led to a massacre
of settlers at Spirit Lake, on the Min
nesota-IOwa border, In 1857. This
massacre was followed by the rising
Of 1867, in which nearly one thousand
settlers were killed. Gen. Henry Hast
ings crushed the outbreak and hung
80 of the Indian warriors from the

cident when a game protector reported
the dumping of lingering trout from a
bridge into stream by one recipient OF
the product of the state fish hatcheries
1t would be absurd to think. says the
commission, that that particular stream
had been stocked. The valuable stock
was simply wasted.
When the young fish reach the point
where they are to be put i'm, the com
mission advises that some of the water
in the cans containing them be poured
off and replaced by the same amount OF
water from the stream or lake that is
to be stocked. This should be repeated
at intervals so that the water in the
ture as the water in which the stock Is
to be planted. The change should be
gradual.
Trout fry and fngcrlings are exceed
ingly delicate and great care must be
exercised TO adapt them to their new
surroundings in the matter of tempera-
ure. The attacks of larger and older
fish are among the unfavorable features
which they have to contend with i'll their
new home.
Whenever possible young trout should
be planted i'm the head waters of streams
in the rivuletS which form the source of
the main body. and this is especially
true in the fry stage of development.
The planting of fry in the main body of
a stream or i'm the deep water of a pond
or lake merely means the supplying of
extra rations to the adult fish of the

gratuity of the misguided conservation
list and work their gills in the pleasant
hope of another banquet at the states
