I A meeting is to be convened in Lindsay at. an early date for the purpose of considering the protection of fish and game, at which Mr. A. Kelly Evans, Secretary of the On- tario Fish and Game Protection. To« ronto, will be invited to attend. FISH AND GAME PROTECTION. For Seven! years it has been wen undetstood that natural gas was; to be found in the township of Eldon, but the lack of enterprise on the part of our citi'lens preVented its develop- ment. An enterprising American hearing: of this formad a company in New York, sent out prospectors ,with the result. that. they have come to the Conclusion that there is not only natural gas there, but, coal. They have Manny purchased or leased some 1200 acres of land and are try- ing to 580“]? more land in that vic- inity All payments on subscriptions are down by the date on the printed ultimo label bearing the subscrib- er's name.

PAGE EIGHT NATURAL GAS We hope Lindsav citizens will take a lively interest in this question. and that. they will show that interâ€" est by attending the meeting in large numbers. The protective. association. a branch of which it is hoped will be formed in Lindsay, is an educative one, rather than one that is seeking for prosecutions. It aims to Show the people that there is a lawn, and that it is to their interests to obâ€" serve it. The protection of the fish is large- ly in the hands of the farmer. He can teach his boy the impropriety of taking fish at the spawning season. Trent- Valley Canal is completed it will furnish one of the most magni- ficent cruising routes, imaginable for yachts and house-boats. Beautiful crafts are now being used by, the moneyed Americans on waters that are mere ditches compared to the Kawartha Lakes, and the tributary chain of waters. The best class of Americans will be attracted to this unique waterway, provided sport be given. They will pay anything for what they require. Farm products will be needed, and that means good money to the farmers. They will spend their money freely, but not for the pleasure of seeing the scenery. That they can get in other places. they must have some incentive. It: is found in the bass and maskinongc‘ of these lakes. which are the largest and finest on the American contin- ent. And why so? Simply because the lakes provide the best food sup- ply for the fish. In Temagami the baSs are not over three and a half pounds in weight, because that dis- trict is north of the natural food supply for the bass. N The Kowartha Lakes possess a. charm all their own. They will at- tract. many who do not care .for the mom north-9m solitude of the wilds. They are nearer to the busy centres, and easy of access, and when the and one pound of sport fish is worth fifty pounds of food fish to the Inca!- ity than can attract. sportsmen. A maskinonge destroyed at the spawning season kills 150,000 eggs. where. WhitefishlnllbeOntu'ioln the recollection of middle aged men, were so plentilul that as many as 90,000 had been taken in one haul of a seine net. Such wantities were killed that they were left to rot, and need as manure on the fields. The same process was carried on in Lake ;Erie. The process of extermination ‘continuca. The farmers along the Kawartha lakes are in the same po- sition as the farmers on the large lakes. They know perfectly well that; the man who nets the maskinooge in the rivers, who spears and shoots‘ them over the spawning beds. and takes the bass from their nests along the shore. is exterminating them as efiectually as the net fishers did the white fish. There is, however! this great difference, the white fish is merely a. food fish, the bass and maskinonge are both food and sport Mr. Newman admittnd that Can- nington had exceeded by a fraction of a cent on account of making a. much smaller output. but taking-tho oxport. trade into considm‘ation. his creamcries had realized higher prices than-any other factories. Mr. Marshall of Brock. stated that the Cannington Creamery Co. aver- aged 22 cents a pound for butter‘ disposed of to the Wm. Davies Co. of Toronto. Mr. Wm.Flachl-e, who had recon-fly addressed a meeting in this vicinity, stated that his firm had purchased a mi-I'Iinn pounds of butter a largn proâ€" portion of which was dairy butter. A 'loss resultvd on Uh! latter of 8-10.- 000 or $50,000, which would not have happened if it had been cream- ery butter. The chairman stated that if there was any criticism or praise to ofl‘er he wished to hear it. ’He wanted not only to speak of the mistakes of the past, but also of the prospects of the future. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and adopted. 1 Mr. Newman then gave a very sato Eisfactory report. He had spoken at Mara, lama, Seabright and other places. He dealt 'with' Auditor Lapp's report which was presented and approved at the last public meeting.

' On motion Mr. \‘ewman was ap- pointed chairman. and Mr. B. Stac- 8. . officiated as secretary. The meeting was called at the7 sugb gation of Mr. Newman, manager of the Lox-neville and Gamebridge cream- cries. About two hundred patrons and admirers of the cream gathering sys- tem were present at the dairy meet- ing at Lornevifle on Thursday last. It was one of the most enthusiastic meetings yet held in’ Victoria‘ County in the inter-sets of butter-making.

He was anxious to secure a factory in ()rillia. He had heard that the Newman Bros. were consid- ering the advisability of establishing 8» factory in that locality and after investigation he had found that these gentlemen were honest and upright, and urged that they carry out the project. He showed the benefits of such an establishment in Orillia. He outlined the finer points in handling a dairy cow, emphasizing gentleness. and endorsed the cream gathering system. His endorsation of ensilage was one of the strongest we haVe heard, recommending clover, but also peas and oats, and corn. In a dry season he had put in no less than 33 tons of clover. and found good re- sults therefrom. He purchased his ‘corn from Messrs. H. W. Buckhees, of Rockford, 111., and the best results had been galned from Great Liberty, Read's Early. Butler's Yellow Dent Early. Eureka and Clarke’s Imported Nastodon. Fully ninty perCent of his corn germinated. and grew re- markably tall. He advised harrowu ing the corn until several inches high; 1 and frequent use of the corn cultiva-1 tor until August. when they would? have corn that they would be proud: of.
