this prophecy to naught, so far as
the moose and deer are concerned,
will depend very much on how they
are enforced. 1t is certain that the
deer and moose are much more nu-
merous in our northern forests than
they were a few years ago. The
moose especially, which few years
ago had apparently disappeared,
are here again in considerable mum
bers, either having multiplied under
protective laws, or drifted back
from harrassment in Canadian
haunts. The deer have unques-
.tionably increased because they
have been protected; and from bor-
der camps this winter have come re-
ports that their enemies the wolves
have returned, tempted back proba
bly, by the increase of game. From
present appearances che Smithson-
ian scientists may study the Maine
moose at their leisure, We hope to
have him with us some time longer.

THE VANISHING GAME AMI
MAILS. ~ . 2
Portland { Me. ) Press.


The State of Maine is the last Sc
cure refuge of one of the most i'm
portant of the great game animals
found on this continent by the early
discoveries. The tall and ungainly
form of the moose. noblest game of
the Northern forests, was spectas
Gle that left upon the imaginations
of the vOyagers an effect only equall-
ed by those almost interminable
herds of bison that on tine prairies
sometimes stretched from horizon to
horizon. So long as the Indian
hunter with his primitive weapons
was the only foe of the buffalo and
the moose, and, indeed, long after
the white hunters had begun to
range the woods and prairies, the
danger of determination seemed re-
mote. When Lewis and Clark made
their explorations, and later when
Fremont crossed the continent the
bison which rOamed over our West
ern plains were estimated at mill
ions. The prairies of the Upper
Missouri and the Yellowstone were
feeding grounds specially favored by
large herds. Two years ago the
ranchmen of that region reported
that in their opinion the buffalo
were extinct there. About this
time the scientists of the Smithson-
ian Institution awOke to the fact of
the disappearance of the buffalo, and
desiring to preserve by the taxider-
INSISTS art the form and appearance
of this wonderful animal sent q
hunting party into the Northwest.
In wild and sequestered tract in
Montana, south of the Missouri
River, they found herd of about
fifty animals, from which they OBJ
tanned their specimens. RSince then
the ranchmen have gone into that
region, and the last refuge Of the
b.sCn in Montana is in Yellowstone
Park. where few herds of them
still exist. There are also said to
be few lonesome remnants of herds
vet ranging along the foothills Of
the Rocky Mountains. The doom
of these cannot be but few years
distant unless some protective meas
ures not yet thought of can devised,
To the moose at the same time the
Smithsonian scientists have been
giving their attention, though its
disappearance from favorite haunts
has not been so rapid as to call for
the same energetic measures that
were taken to preserve for the future
the knowledge of the buffalo. But
whenever a large moose has been
killed in Maine, they have taken
pains to ascertain as accurately as
possible its size, weight, and proper
tions. and have secured several skins
to be mouned against the time
when the great American Elk shall
no longer exist. The latest Smith
soaian report says that in few years
more the moose, deer, mountain
sheep, and goat, the last of the great
game animals. will be wholly ex-
terminated. Whether the game
laws of Maine will be able to put

FARM NOTES.

II has been stated that since the
sunAower has been cultivated on
certain swamps Of the Potomac ma
laria fever has decreased. AT the
mouth of the Schelde, in Holland, it
is stated that similar results have
been observed. The sunhower
emits large volumes of water in the
form Of vapor, and its aromatic
odor, as well as the oxygen it ex-
hales, may have something to do
with the sanitary influence in ques-
ton. " " A1Cl
Plants cannot live without leaves,
as sooner or later they will "suffo-
cate" the leaves being to plants
what lungs are to an animal,
Hence, if weeds be kept down close
to the ground mot excepting even
the thistle) they must at sometime
perish. Good cultivation, therefore,
lessons the labor OF each succeeding
year.
There is such a thing as preparing
the food for plants as well as for
stock. Ii the manure be not in a
proper condition for the use of the
plants they cannot appropriate it,
and it will therefore be saving of
time to reduce it as much as posi-
bic in the manure heap.
Fowls will not thrive and do well
that are penned over hogs. We
have seen it advocated to build the
poultry house over the hogs. This
is mistake. When done, sickness
and death among the flock is al
ways greater. No one wants TO as
sociate with hogs, not even chick
ems.
In using eggs for Matching the
largest and strongest chicks will
come from eggs layed by the hens o.
fully matured pullets, Eggs that
are small or double yelked are not
suitable for Matching. tk8 Hk
All young animals quickly learn
to eat ground oats, and there is
no ground grain better for them.
They will grow and thrive upon oats
even when drawing milk from the
dams.
Those who find pleasure in caring
for sheep may care to hear that
bean straw is an excellent article OF
food for them they have been seen
to leave good hay and vegetables for
it and seemed to regard 1T as a
dainty diet.
Look out for lice; while they are
not as hard on hogs as they are on
chickens, they are very unsightly
and cause the poor creatures great
deal of discomfort when they hayeto
keepup an incessant scratching.

the United States, and it is hoped
that very many private firms will

both local and from foreign cOun-
tries, will be the largest ever seen in
the southern hemisphere. Goods
for exhibition are admitted duty
free. Australia is rich and grow
ing country. American goods sell
well there, and the comparative
nearness of Australia to America
should inspire our business men to
control her markets. Mr.. John Nj.

Real and Mock Livery.

There are such things as real livery and mock livery. Every family of position and standing in England has a family livery. The proper cut, style, trimming, buttons, facings and decoration generally of real liv- cry are as much science as is the correct emblazoning of arms No one of any stand ing-people who belong to the families of the nobility and country gentry-would dream of having any livery on their ser wants but that they are entitled to. Some families have blue cloth, others brown, others claret color, others drab, and so on Collars and cuffs (where they are worn sol are of other different colors. Some have gold or silver bands around the mems hats-''gravel paths" have heard them called by an old gentleman belonging to one of the estab- lished families A plain black hat, with cOckade, if the master be entitled to have | one, is the best form, all things considered. No gentleman in England would have a l cockade on his servants hats unless he were entitled to it.
 don't mean to say that there are not lots of English people who put cockades on their servants hats who have no right to them. But they show at once what they are by doing SO. There is nothing-no law-to pre- | vent @ person using cockade, but good taste. The people who are entitled to cockades in
 
 1 high sheriffs, deputy lieutenants, etc. The l royal family have a cockade of their own. It is really misnomer to call it cockade, for 1 it is simply black leather rosette, without 1 the fan or cockade. Whenever you see this, i plain rosette on the top of a servants hat 1 you know he is royal domestic. dare say it is not unlikely that these rosettes have, be- l fore now, made their appearance at Newport or Long Branch. | There are a few settled rules about liveries which every one should know. Only coach men and grooms wear top boots. A footnon wears trousers. Only coachmen and groorls wear single breasted frock coats. Footnen wear double breasted dress coats. The tails of all the coats are short. Overcoats are double breasted and very long. Fur capes are only worn on cold days.

The ..sheep Eaters, of Idaho.

The widest and most exhilarating sport in Idaho is that indulged in by the Sheep Eaters, branch of the Bannock tribe. They are known by this name because they subsist largely on the huge mountain sheep. When the sheep are heavy with young they drive them far up on the cliffs, and then with their dogs make them jump down, where they are found dead at the bottom and made away with by these fellows. These Indians arc first class shots, too, and of course kill many of these sheep and other game that way. The bald headed grizzly bear is the only animal the Indians won't disturb. They aint afraid of the others. have nyself driven an ordi- nary she grizzly away from her cub, and she didn't attack me, being thus less dangerous than sow A SOW wouldn't permit that. But these bald headed grizzlies arc large and extremely vicious. The silver tip grizzlies are also very cross. s.-San Francisco Exam inhr

New System of Paving.

A newly patented pavement is said to have been suggested by the surface of an ele phant's tooth, which consists of internlinglcd layers of hard and soft material, so that the process of wearing always produces a series of ridges upon the surface. The new system of paving is the idea of Mir. Ranyard, the English astronomer, and comprises the use of blocks having alternate hard and soft layers, such as Portland cement and mixture of sand and cement, which are set upon edge so that the edges of these laminn form wear. ing surface The blocks arc made four inches high, and may be worn to less than an inch without becoming smooth, like granite blocks.-New York Mail and Express

PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE.
Reports at the Regular Monthly
Meeting.

The subject under discussion at the
regular monthly meeting of the Presby-
terrain alliance, held last evening in the
parlorS of Westminster church, was
Church Work in Minneapolis" This
subject was divided among sew
eral speakers, each one TAX
ing but one denomination. The
address of Prof. Mclean was on the
work of the COngregatiOnaliSts, and
showed for active work that this denom-
ination Outstripped all the others. They
have thirteen churches and nine mis-
si0ns and their contributions for last
year amounted to 1921. 400, the Presby-
terrain church coming next with
twenty-one churches and mis-
siOnS and contributions amounting
to S210,000. The Methodist church,
with twenty-three churches and contri-
buttons amounting to $l22,000. The
Baptist church with eighteen churches,
seven of which gave So, 0O0 in contribu-
tiOnS, and the Episcopal church with
thirteen churches aud contribu-
tons amounting TO over 100000.
Addresses were also made i'll
reference to the Lutheran, Catholic and
Liberal church work, but 10 figures
were given. Taken as a whole, the dis
cusSiOn was one of the most entertain
ingand interesting of any which the
alliance has had the pleasure of listen
ing to, and was enjoyed immensely by
the large audience which was in attend
anPp
