Chatanqua, New York, from fry. Instead: of releasing several million fry each year in open water, they have arrived, by the trial and error method, of successfully rearing a few thousand up .t6 9 inches before re- leasing, These may become -parent fish as. they grow 9 inches in the first year, and by three years are 7 pounds if food is abundant, and they 'are known to have grown to 100 pounds in weight, Everyone concedes that the: muskie is our finest large game fish, - Its fighting qualities, {ts food value are all'very high. It {s the aim of a large part of our Tourist Fishermen to take home a sample of one of our Muskie and to this end he 'will go to alm most any expense and trouble. to get one. 'This fish, so much sought' after, 80 fine A sport fish, is going and is almost on its last legs in most of the Kawartha Lakes, Now you know yolir own waters here, I cannot tell you any- thing about Scugog, but I do know that Stoney Lake has not had much to show, I know that Lovesick, Cameron; 'Balsam, and: Sturgeon, have turned up 80 few that a big noise. has been. made wheh of ¢ caught.

One man who fished a Jot on-week ends got only one this year: You in Port Perry had au one time the finest Lunge water in Ontario, east of the Sault. More Muskies were born in -Scugog than any body of water in the whole Kawartha chain, These were taken by nets from your water from 1892--126,000; -1893---200,000, and in 1896 155,000 pounds, "Even after:the year when 'the lake froze to the bottom you had years of fine fishing, but owing to the shallowness of the water and the in- creasing number of fishermen, due to motor cars and good roads, motor boats and fancy lures, your parent fish have disappeared and the Biolo- gist ,tells us the species is doomed | for a fev ~The amd "cheapest thing to] '| raise in Canada is fish food or forage fish.

Thereby using .only a and leaving ample room for speedier vehicles. Traffic is quite-heavy here and we can all appreciate the shock Mr. Mitchell received when his wagon was struck from the rear and he was thrown head foremost between the hores. It is a miracle how a man in his late. sixties 'managed to cling fo his reins and save a runaway, with its horrible possibilities' on a busy high- way, ~ Mr. Mitchell certainly deserves credit for his presence' of mind in such an Smargensy, 3 "Look what you've done to ny toni er!" demanded the driver of the car, whose da es were slight, and who long before the last survivor.is taken.
