The following correspondence explains 

 itself : 



Mr. Paul F. Markoff, Grand Rapids, Mich. 



Dear Sir : I am advised that you and 2 

 friends caught nearly 800 trout, on the little 

 Manistee river, on a recent fishing trip. Is 

 this correct? Your kind reply will greatly 

 oblige, Yours truly, 



G. O. Shields, 

 Edr. and Mgr. Recreation. 



Yes, your information is authentic. We 

 caught 783 trout in 3 days, and are going 

 after the ones we missed, to-night. 

 Yours, etc., 



Paul F. Markoff. 



That's right, Paul. If you're bound to be 

 a hog admit it frankly, so decent people may 

 know and shun you. 



The N. Y. State Commission of Fisheries 

 has arranged to plant, from the Caledonia 

 hatcheries, 40,000 lake trout fry in Owasco 

 lake, N. Y., on the Lehigh Valley Railway. 



The Passenger Department of that com- 

 pany is deeply interested in the protection 

 of fish and game and is keeping the trout 

 streams well stocked. Mr. Lee has sent in 

 several applications to the hatcheries at 

 Caledonia, during the past month, for fish 

 to be supplied this season, all of which re- 

 quests will be filled. 



Do you keep a 



DOC? 



Send for free 

 pamphlet on feeding, 



treatment, etc., and 

 catalogue of foods, etc.
