116 THE SALMON FISHER. 



salquitch, the Patapedia, the Metapedia and Tom 

 Kedgwick, where the most extensive artificial propa- 

 gating works of the Dominion are located; the Mir- 

 amichi and its several great branches, the Nepissi- 

 guit, Tabusintac, Charlo, and Jaquet; the Kouchi- 

 bouquac, the St. John and its great tributary, the 

 Tobique. Other New Brunswick rivers lying on the 

 south shore of the St. Lawrence Kiver are included 

 in the list which appears farther on. No doubt New 

 Brunswick has its advantages and attractions. There 

 is galore of salmon there, and it is withal a good, 

 school for students who wish to learn woodcraft and 

 cultivate the virtues of self-denial and endurance of 

 discomforts and hard commons. But for solid com- 

 fort, pure and simple, with a modicum of fun, rec- 

 ommend me to the rivers and hospitality of Nova. 

 Scotia. In the first place, the fishing is not bad* 

 while there is the omnipresent compensation of civil- 

 ization always within reach. Here ne can travel by 

 wagon over graded turnpike roads, and have his 

 choice of a half dozen salmon rivers within the dis- 

 tance of a single day's journey, and there is no end 

 of sea food, lobsters, fresh vegetables, strawberries
