PAGE EIGHT. MILLIONS OF FRY ARE DISTRIBUTED 4,000,000 Brook Trout Being Sent Out by State Game and Fish Commission From the St. Paul hatchery 4,000,- 000 brook trout are being distribut- ed by the state game and fish commis. sion to provide food and sport for anglers. They are hardly classy enough to be called trout as_ yet, because they appear like overgrown “wiggletails,” the d found in rain- barrels whch have been left stand+ ing till the hoops rusted. But with-| in a couple of years, after they have | been transferred to free waters, the | will make thrills come to wielders of the fly and reel—the kind of thrills that cause men to leave home. Spawn of the lake trout is gathercdé in the fall—a little round, jellylike | mass of eggs, which Mother Trout carefully deposits in a nest or hole} in the sand, in shallow water. This she caretully covers over and leaves it to the water and sand to hatch. Removed from the nest to the hatch- ery and placed in running water which has a temperature of 48 deg. | the spawn hatch in sixty days. Thirty, days after they advance from the spawn stage to the “wiggletail” class, they are fed, whereupon they begin | taking on the semblance of fish. Their chief article of diet is beef liver. Mother Trout produces from 1,000 to 1,500 spawn or eggs in one sea- son. Not half of these, however, live to become fish. Mortality is great. It is propesed to send out apout 100,000,000 pike fry from St. Paul, Glenwocd and new Detroit hatch- eries. There is rcom at the St. Paul hatchery for handling 125,000,000 fry, but the season's output w tributed from the three siations. The bass fry will not be gathered until fall. No effort is made to gather bass spawn and hatch it. Only the fry and “‘fingerlings,” the name applied to small bass, are tak- en. Sloughs along the Mississippi river provide most of the young ass transplnated to Minnesota lakes. The trout fishing season opened in Minnesota Monday. — GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE HERE Opening Of Political Campaign Last Week By W. E. Lee’ of Long Prairie. W. E. Lee of Long Prairie, pro gressive Republican candidate for governor, addresed an interested audience im village hall, Tuesday evening April 9, on the issues! of the day as viewed from a progressive standpoint. Mr. Lee is an ardent LaFollette man and made a strong plea to tthe people to abolish machine rule and take the government of the country in their own hands. The matter of improved service in the way of hand- ling state lands was another feature dwelt on, as was also the advanced measures of the initiative and ref- erendum. Other meetings in the county ad dressed by Mr- Lee were at Deer River and Coleraine. CLEARING CLAIMS TALK BY EXPERT \for several years, to rot. | Considerable ; ;,.|care of in this way, with a small ill be dis. land by one man is either very slow or very expensive. In a short time he becomes discouraged. He picks }out small patches here and there, | which are easily.cleared.and.on.which he cam make a big showing. In-this way he clears a larger area, but it is usually so located that it is prac- | tically useless; erd all the uncleared land is burned cver until it is abso- | lutely barren. Th re are hundreds cf claims, in the northern part of the State, now in th’s condition; claims | |on which the settlers are eking out | |@ bare existence by working in the} |lumber camps through the winter.| | Such a mutilated piece of land cann:§ gut where this friendship seriously be called a farm; and the| rea] man who practices such a method} not lay claim to the title of a farmer. Suppose, now, a little thought had been given to the systematic develop- ment of that land, and a definite ca plan laid out, with a definite object; “Why, you derned old son of 7 gun!” in view. In the first place a little judgment ought to be exerted in the selection of the claim. Get it located properly A claim may possess good soil and be capable of producing large crops; ‘but, if those crops cannot be gotten to market, what's the use? Locate near a line of transportation, even if the soil is a little poorer. Once located, remember that it will take years to clear all that land. What is to be done in the meantime? Figure out how much cleared land is really needed at present, and clear that much of the very best land. Cultivate it, and grow there such crops as are needed for food of man and beast. Cut the timber from such land as is needed for pasture; sell the timber, burn the slashings, and seed between the stumps-. A good crop of grass will be obtained for pasture, and the stumps can be left They will then come out with comparative easc’ stock can be taken initial cost for clearing the land. Half of the 160 acres will be all that can be used for the first genera- tion. Why burn over the other half, and make it absolutely worthless? Whether the 160 was logged over or not when the clearing was started, why not keep the fire out of this last 80 acres, and let it be producing timber until such time as it is need- ed for the production of more vailu- able crops? It may appear to be nothing but waste land; but if the fire is kept out a second growth of timber will be thriving there before any one realizes it, and the second crop will have a value. Remember that the price of timber is going up, and the minimum size which can be used is coming down. Species which cannot be sold for any purpose now will ere long be bringing good prices. It will require a very small growth on that eighty acres, twenty years from now, to yield a profit that will pay for the clearing of that land and probably a good little roll of money besides. There is no reason why the um cultivated half of the farm should not yield an income, when it is willing to do so if it is only left alone. It is a simple matter to keep the fire out. Do it, and have the whole farm producing. The use of a little judgment will in this way easi- ly double the income of the farm dur ing the first thirty years after settle- GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW.

As definite a policy and as well chosen a plam should be determined for the clearing of a claim as for any other piece of important business. It often means the difference be- tween failure and success. This is often too little considered by the settler. He does not seem to realize the importance of going at this work systematically. With little thought and less regard for the future he selects a_ site for his house, usually in the open part of his claim. His one idea is to clear the ground—all of it- Without regard to the suitability of the soil he clears the patches which are most easily cleared. He corsiders fire as the easiest means of accomplishing this end; and, since the whole claim is to ‘be cleared, he takes no pains to confine the fire to any particular area —he lets it run at large over the whole tract. He is, always hopeful, and thinks that his farm will be cléared in a couple of years. As a matter of fact the clearing of | are issued,” patiently responded I. D. Rasmussen. “How much does one cost? “A marriage license costs $2.25.” “Does that cover everything?” was the next question. “It covers the cost of the license, but you must get the bride and fur- nish someone to marry you. The preacher is entitled to a fee.” “Then all I have to do is to buy ® license for $2.25 and hunt up 4 preacher. Is that all? “Yes, except, of course, you must furnish the bride.” “That's all right, I’ve got her and I'll be up in a day or two for one of them there licenses.
