merchants all j?et their share of the 
money spent. I cannot ftive an estimate 
of the sum, but it is very large. Think 
of the pleasure and clean recreation 
given to thousands of people, and then 
think of sacrificing all this to a senti- 
mental regard for beaver. 
The time to do .something is now. If 
the sportsmen of the State, after the 
warnings they have received from many 
sources, do not make an effort through 
their associations and clubs to get rid of 
the beaver, they deserve to lose their 
fishing; as they most assuredly will.

T he above conclusions were arrived 
at independently. I find, on reading 
the reports of the Conservation Commis- 
sion for the years 1919 and 1920, that I 
am in entire agreement with them as to 
the damage caused by the beaver, and 
also as to the way it takes place in re- 
gard to extinction of trout. 
I quote from the 1919 report of the 
commission (and it is a conservative 
estimate to say that there are six beaver 
now where there was one in 1919) ; 
“Something must be done to prevent such 
large and widespread damage. Probably 
the removal of protection on beaver for 
a .short open season will prove the most 
effective means of solving the problem.” 
The 1920 report says: “It is now a 
well-recognized fact that the work of 
the beaver is destroying the fish produc- 
tivity on many streams.” And again: 
“The beaver are now so numerous that 
the commission feels that some check 
should be put upon them in the interest 
of fish culture, as well as for other rea- 
sons.” 
As this article has been, up to the 
present, rather abstract, I will give some 
concrete examples of the condition on 
.some of our streams and rivers. 
At Rock River, in Hamilton County, 
we have a fair example. This used to be 
one of our best trout rivers. The chief 
feeders of this river were the Tyrrell 
Pond Stream, Dunn Brook and the Chain 
Lakes Stream. If you will look on the 
map you will find that Rock River emp- 
ties into Rock Lake about five miles from 
its source, then almost immediately leaves 
Rock Lake and after some six miles 
empties into the Cedar River. 
Every one of the large brooks men- 
tioned is blocked back for miles with high 
dams. All the smaller brooks, about a 
dozen in number, have dams high enough 
to stop the free passage of trout. In 
fact, there is no passage except in high 
water. In the eleven miles mentioned 
we found only two places where we could 
get a drink of clean water. The lower 
four miles of Rock River is dammed 
every little way for the whole distance. 
It was here we found the dead trout 
last summer. These trout were found 
on the aprons of the dams ; evidently 
they had been trying to go either up 
or down the stream, but could not jump 
far enough. 
We saw mink and otter on the stream 
and tracks of coon and fox, so it is ex- 
tremely probable we saw only a very 
small per cent, of the trout that perished, 
as they would be picked up very quickly 
by the.se animals. 
This water, only two years ago, was 
PUPPILAC lias a wide range of uses; it fulfills each one of them with unvarying 
certainty. 
It has no equal as a rearing food for orphan puppies, as a substitute food at weaning- 
time, as a staminal and milk-inducing food for the brood bitch, as a strengthening 
food for the adult dog in sickness and convalescence, or as a normal milk diet for 
cats and kittens. 
PUPPILAC is Milk Powder so treated that there is no possible danger of ran- 
cidity.
