A petition is circulating IN Page and |
Shenandoah asking the Legislature TO
pass law that no deer shall be lied in
either county for the next four years. We
think such measure would be wise since |
II the wholesale slaughter of the las few |
years is to be kept up it will be Tut
short time till the deer in the Fort M'un-
tain are entirely exterminated.
The season for shooting partridges las /
expired, and it would be well for all 10 /
bear in mind that the law fOrbids the ne /
ting or trapping Of them by any coe even

ly who will not allow them TO be killed
on his farm at any time No birds, with
the exception of the English sparrows,
should be killed, for they are the best
friends Of the farmer.
