Salmon Statistics. 
1. The socke3’e spawns normally either in 
its fourth or fifth year, the king salmon in its 
fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh year, the females 
of both species being preponderatingly four-year 
fish. 
2. The young of both sockeye and king sal¬ 
mon may migrate seaward shortly after hatch¬ 
ing, or may reside in fresh water until their 
second spring. Those of the first type grow 
more rapidly than the second, but are subject to 
greater dangers and develop proportionately 
fewer adults. 
3. Coho salmon spawn normally only in 
their third year. The young migrate either as 
fry or yearlings, but adults are developed al¬ 
most exclusively from those which migrate as 
yearlings. 
4. Dog salmon mature normally either in 
their third, fourth or fifth years, the humpback 
always in their second year. The young of both 
species pass to sea as soon as they are free 
swimming. 
5. The term ‘‘grilse,” as used for Pacific 
salmon, signifies conspicuously undersized fish 
which sparingly accompany the spawning run. 
They are precociously developed in advance of 
the normal spawning period of the species. So 
far as known, the grilse of the king salmon, coho 
and dog salmon are exclusively males, of the 
sockeye, almost exclusively males, except on the 
Columbia River, where both sexes are about 
equally represented. The larger grilse meet or 
overlap in size the smaller of those individuals 
which mature one year later at the normal period. 
6 . Grilse of the sockeye are in their third 
year, of the king salmon in their second or third 
year, of the coho and the dog salmon in their 
second year. 
7. The great differences in .size among in¬ 
dividuals of a species observed in the spawning 
run are closely correlated with age, the younger 
fish averaging constantly smaller than those one 
year older, though the curves of the two may 
overlap.—Bulletin of the Bureau of Fisheries. 
Vermont’s Hedgehog Bounty. 
The Vermont hedgehog’s fate is settled. 
The State will continue to pay a bounty on his 
head for the next two years, but at the bargain 
counter reduction of 50 per cent. In other 
words, the bounty has been reduced from 30 
cents to IS, which, however, would strike the 
proverbial man up a tree as ample. 
To date, says Burlington Free Press, the 
State has paid out $20,000 in hedgehog bounties, 
and the reduction in the bounty will result, one 
would think, in stimulating hunters to fresh ex¬ 
ertions, so that it will be no great surprise if 
the total shows no considerable reduction. 
Few people, we believe, knew before the 
hedgehog became a burning and expensive issue 
in the Legislature that the forests of_ Vermont 
were endangered by his onslaught. His favorite 
food is clover, and this when abundant so fully 
satisfies his modest wants that he asks for few 
additions to the menu. His favorite abode is 
at the edge of the farmer’s wood lot in reason¬ 
able proximity to a clover field. 
In such a hedgehog paradise he luxuriates 
in the farmer’s clover all summer and dreams 
about It all winter in his long hibernation. The 
party aggrieved by the animal’s predatory 
operations has always been the farmer as far as 
the knowledge of the general public is con¬ 
cerned. and the lumberman’s grievance was 
voiced at Montpelier. 
We are told that not far from the capital 
there is a series of hedgehog “preserves,” and 
that one family has gathered in $3,000 in 
bounties. These two facts were not coupled in 
the Legislative debate, but one would think that 
it would not be a very long step for a resource¬ 
ful Yankee to take from bounty to breeding.

Clothes for 
Outdoor Wear

through the stress of outdoor wear, a suit or
