An Appeal to sportsmsn.

The following is from the Prince Georgian:
"0ur annual little toothsome visitors are Just
making their appearance upon the Marshes and,
as usual, return in rather a forlorn condition.
They have only appeared in small numbers yet,
and are very poor; and owing to the rainy August
the wild oats still quite green and much
ranEer than we have ever known them, so that
they will not be ht to shoot, nor can TIE marshes
be gotten over for several weeks yet. We
earnestly appeal to our sportsmen not TO shoot
them in their present condition, and to prevent
Strangers from doing so, as they really not fit
TO eat until they become fat. 1t is Intended to
apply to the Legislature this winter Tor an act to
prevent their killing before the 18th of September
which will be wise and humane law"
