Guernsey Cattle Breeders.

The Guernsey Cattle Breeders Associa
ton met on Friday at the residence of
Joseph Evans, at Marlton, and there was
large gathering Of members from Penn
sylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.
The following new members were
elected: Edwin Tomlinson, Kirkwood;
Dr. A. 7. Neall, Newark, Del; Ephraim
Tolnlinson, Bowman S. Lippincott, Henry
C. Lippincott. Ezra Evans. William B.
Cooper, Marlton.
resolution was adopted eulogistic of
Samuel c. Kent, deceased. Mr.. Kent was
always deeply interested in advancing
the extension of Guernseys in America
and was perhaps the heaviest importer in
this country.
The subject for discussion was "Indi-
vidual and herd tests of Guernsey cattle,
offering of premiums for superiority, and
blank forms TO be adopted on which to
keep the records of the same"
Charles Wright, Jr., of Columbus,
opened the subject, showing that while
the Guernsey COW did not, as rule, show
phenomenal records for a short period,
yet In a test extending over period of
months or a year she excelled. Our
breeders are slow in making these tests.
The offering of an incentive in the way
specified seemed timely.
William B. Harvey, of West Grove, Pa,
secretary of the association, presented
plans for blank forms, and the matter
was fully discussed in its various bear
ings. 1t was thought best to conhne the
trials to individual tests for the present,
at least.
This entire matter was left with the
executive committee and when report is
ready NEE ting is to be called for final
action on the subject.

Everything is in readiness for the exc

The Game Laws.

A number of changes were made in the
game laws by the last Legislature, but
most of them are OF little interest to gun
ners in this part of the State. The most
important change was that made in the
season for shooting quail and rabbits.
The new law reads
"And be it enacted, That hereafter it
shall not be lawful for any person or per-
sons to capture, kill or have unlawfully in
possession after the same has been taken
or killed, any quail or any hare common
ly called rabbit, except only between the
tenth day of November and the sixteenth
day of December in any year, under pen
atty of twenty dollars for each quail or
rabbit so taken, killed or had unlawfully
in possession" The following is correct
schedule of the open seasons as amended
to date, the penalty for infringement be-
ing $40 in each case.
