fario, one of which, weighing about three pounds, 
was also killed on a trimmer about the middle of 
March. The majority of the rainbows worked 
up stream to a less rapid part of the river soon 
after they had been turned in, and kept together 
there until the middle of February, and were 
seen daily by the keeper when giving them their 
small allowance of food, which they invariably 
took freely. After this their number began to 
diminish gradually, and it is conjectured that they 
commenced dropping down stream, as about this 
time odd pairs were seen busily engaged in 
spawning on a thin shallow some distance lower 
down the river. When spawning they were care- 
fully watched by the keeper, and in his opinion, 
as soon as the deposition of the eggs by the 
female and their fertilization by the male had 
been completed, both male and female dropped 
down to water over which I have no control. 
On April 4 there were only four to be seen 
spawning on this thin shallow, and on April 3, 
my first visit to the water this spring, only two 
of these were visible. On the 4th these two had 
disappeared, and there was not a single rain- 
bow trout to be seen in this stretch of water. 
The experiment has now been abandoned, but 
to my mind it has been a most interesting one. 
It tends to confirm the opinion so often expressed 
by pisciculturists that after spawning Salmo 
irideus drops down the river, possibly owing to 
its migratory habits and instinct to try and reach 
the salt water. What becomes of it there is still 
a mystery, and why it is not seen in subsequent 
seasons reascending the rivers is also incom- 
prehensible. When we consider how numerous 
are larve of water-bred insects, crustaceans, and 
molluscs in all the south country chalk streams, 
and seeing that the Test is better supplied with 
these forms of life than any other river in the 
vicinity, and when in addition to this we remem- 
ber that in this instance the profuse natural food 
supply was supplemented daily by the modicum 
given by the keeper, it does not seem reasonable 
to impute the roaming instinct to a desire to 
find a more bounteous or more nutritious food 
supply elsewhere. Until the question has been 
further worked out, and some fresh and strong 
evidence adduced to account in some other way 
for their vagaries, it must, I fear, be taken as 
proven that the rainbow trout will not establish 
itself in the Test or its tributaries. 
SCORING VERMONT DEER HUNTERS. 
For years the writer has protested vigorously 
in and out of season against the sickening and 
indiscriminate slaughter of deer in Vermont. I 
want the friendship of no man who wantonly 
shoots down mild eyed and inoffensive deer for 
“glory,” for the applause of the village loafers. 
The death of a deer in Vermont serves only to 
exalt a’ coward, the coward who killed him. 
Alive he’s a curiosity, an attraction, a worthy 
part of God’s exposition of Himself in nature, 
a thing of beauty to.be kindly cared for and 
protected. Man is the only animal who kills 
when it is not necessary to preserve life. He 
makes a fish or game hog of himself for the sake 
of the applause of debased minds, to see his 
name in the paper, to get himself photographed 
with his “string.”’ The magazines contain the 
Stories, often illustrated, of these cowardly boast- 
ers, and a conspicuous case in point is found in 
the last issue of the Vermonter. Brave pair, 
these Corinth captains courageous! A perpetual 
close season for deer is what we should work 
for, and it is bound to come, Every deer killed 
is intrinsically worth a dozen of the cowards 
who encompass his death—Hardwick Gazette.
