Spare the Birds,

ers have, and why the gun is ever
kept ready, loaded and handy to
shoot down every bird that appears
is n mystery. We have laws FOR the
preservation of "gamc" (birds), the
object being TO protect the birds rs
much as possible during the breed
ing season, in order that We may
shoot them aftcrward. Hawks and
owls, not being "game' birds. do not
come in for their share of protection,
and consequently in winter the birds

But the principal warfare is car.

that above all others is most useful
to the farmer. if he will only allow
them TO be Of service TO him but
he keeps them thinnci out to such
insignificant numbers that in spring
time they are not sufficiently numer-
Gus to be Of service. A pair of
quails will sometimes hatch as many
as twenty young ones at n brood.
As they are not flyers they seek their
living on the ground. 1t is hardly
credible to know the great amount of
food that Is required for brood of
young growing quails. They are
hungry all the time, as young birds
generally are, and the most indus
trious work is required to sustain
them. They feed on insects of all
kinds, rejecting none, and no doubt
If tanned and treated kindly, so that
they might be tempted into the pota-
TO field, would eat the beetles, for
they have no time to loose in seeking
food for their large broods. But rs
we prefer to shoot them we must pay
the penalty of our extravagant sport.
The seeds of weeds of all kinds
are relished by quails, the wild pea
being their favorite luxury, and when
in the fields OF growing grain they

Thick and Thin Seeding.


PROM the Rural Sow YORKER.
Considering the question Of thin
". thick seeding Of grain, there is
TINS TO be said Every garden, whctl-
or vegetable Or flower, shows that
those plants which have plenty Of
room are larger aud more vigorous
than those which are crowded. Even
though the soil is no richer or even
poorer, every part Of the plant re-
ccivcs its due share Of sun and mir.
The richer the soil, then. the mare

them Of the air, light and moisture
necessary TO their full development.
Half, perhaps onc-third, oc that
amount Of seed would, under such
conditions, furnish the plants with
the needs Of a healthy existence.
We should then have larger stems,
larger heads, heavier grain and an in
creased power Of resisting diseases
and the attacks Of insect pests. The
exact amount Of seed which should
be sown per acre, however, must so
vary according TO soil, preparation.

the varieties sown that, guided only
in the avoidance Of extremes by
what we know Of the laws Of plant

Training the Colt

Bad horses are more frequently
made than born. II is very much in
the bringing up--in the way colt is
cared for, and the manner in which
il is broken. Firmness, with kind
ness, goes very far in making a val
uable horse. The colt should early
learn that it is never To be deceived;
that it is to bc encouraged and re-
wardcd when obedient, aud punished
by the Withholding or caresses when
disobedient. The same natural quail
ities that make a horse vicious will.
with proper treatment. make one of
those intelligent and spirited horses
that all desire 10 possess. The true
trainer of colts is gentle. loving, firm
and thoughtful ; and the young ani-
mails under bis charge partake OF the
same qualities.

stand but little chance if the quails
were allowed TO hunt for him. And
the common beetles Of all kinds,
borcr moths and moths that deposit
their eggs in the ground, would be
kept within circumscribcd bounds,
for they could not exist near the linn
il Of territory allowed to the quails.
The protection 10 h1irks and 0ULs,
they not being game birds, is so com
plctc that the wren is almost exter-
minated By them in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, and it was once
very common. The wren is an in
sectiyorous bird, and SO is the wood
pcckcr, whose notes on the trunks Of
the trees we used To hear 30 often,
but which has been SO completely
"protcctcd' that the sportsmen have
made them almost extinct. Nearly
all the game birds are inscctivorous.
If We wish to bc rid Of insects we
must not keep up this inccssant war
fare on their natural cncmics-the
birds. 1t will not do to protect the
birds in spring and shoot them in au-
tumn. The only argument sports
men have is that the birds would be-
come too numerous. We will accept
that when we see them so numerous
that there are not enough insects TO
feed them but as long as we annual.

Of crops by insects we will insist
on more birds, less "protcction for

profits on a breeding SOW equal TO
that of a COW with great deal less

little pains taking and effort a farmer
can make market for his pork at a
price more remunerative than what is
usually paid FOR it in the carcass.

THIS has been a favorable season
for 'catch' Of clover. and we have
but few complaints Of failures. There
are some, however, and in such cases
we suggest that second sowing
made upon the stubblc in August or
early in September, will generally
repair the damage, either with or
without narrowing in, although har-
rowing is the most reliable practice.
The cost of the seed is but n triilc.

Reno Journal Last week man who
represented himself to be son OF Dan
Proctor, butcher at Wadsworth, ar
rived in Winnemucca. He bought goods
to the amount of about $3.50 at Levy &
Co. S, borrowed J. F. Abel's overcoat and
gloves to ride out to the Spaniard's above
the toll house, where he said he wanted
to buy 700 head Of sheep for his father.
He engaged team at Frank Naramores
and ran whisky and board bills at several

Silver State We are informed that the
purchasers of the Humboldt Irrigation
and Development Company's canal at
Oreana are negotiating for the purchase
of the Morning Star mine, in Trinity
District. The Morning Star is an extern
sion of the Evening Star, which produced
hundreds of thousands of dollars in early
days from ores extracted above water
level, but which was abandoned when
water was encountered in the workings.
The ledge is located in a syenitic forma.
ton, and the ores are rich in gold and
silver. It is situated in the Trinity
mountains, about eight miles west Of
Oreana.
A Hamilton correspondent of the Eu-
reka Leader says that Oliver Drake, who
has been running the Eberhardt and Au-
rora mill for the past year on tailings,
has failed, with liabilities at about $l5,-
900, and is settling with his employees at
the rate of 10 per cent. 1t is very
heavy blow on the camp, and one that
will be keenly felt. Men who have been
working at the mill for the past two
months without pay will receive about
$50 apiece, with which to pay their town
and board bills and get out Of the coun.
try. The business firms of Hamilton
will lose from $500 to 81 900 by the fail
ure. There seems to be considerable in
dignation concerning the matter, and
Drake is generally censured for his ne
elect in running so far behind paying
basis.
