THE GROW AGAIN

Judging by what we saw in an
other department Of our paper, the
" Montague Cracker Barrel must
have been minus broken crackers
and all, or he would have seen in
the article concerning crows, that
they even had had relish for
tarred corn in our section of this
county, last spring Neither does
he state how he doctors his corn for
fall purposes /
As for Mr. Chipnunk we advise
loading with rather fine shot and
'blaze away" You will find that
Mr. Chipmunk does not measure
the carrying distance Of shot as ac-
curately as the crow will Let us
hear from others while it is going
Some years ago when the chip
munk was more troublesome in this
section, we know farmer that
planted the two outside rows
around the field with potatoes, as
they will trouble the edges of a field
more than anywhere else. This al
50 gives better turning ground for
the horse in cultivating the corn.

ARE you srARvINa your HENS !?

My neighbors complain that they
do not get many eggs, and seem
somewhat puzzled to know the
cause. a little observation and in
quiry reveal the reason. Their hens
are all right, but one is feeding
them almost wholly on corn He
also deprives them of lime in any
form This is one form of starva-
ton. Another keeps his hens
yarded, and they are largely de-
prived of green food, and entirely of
lime in any form They eat their
eggs eagerly to supply their craving
appetites.
When the wheat stubble was
raked and drawn 1 gave the hens
free access to it, believing that the
wheat was just what was needed at
the beginning of moulting. So it
proved, for the forty hens, instead
of diminishing in egg production as
their moulting progressed, made q
gain of one-half dozen eggs per day,
now laying two dozen daily. Most
farmers have probably carefully
stored away these gleanings await
ing the thresher. The hens are the
best threshers, and ask nothing for
the work. Much of the wheat is
grown this year, and to deprive the
hens of a supply is sheer nonsense.
When I drew the gleanings and said
they were for the hens, a neighbor
remarked that there were two bu-
shells of wheat in them. / said per-
haps so, but the hens need them,
and if there were as much wheat as
he said the hens have paid ten
shillings per bushel for it. There is
an abundance Of grown wheat, and
we cannot do better than to turn n
portion of it into eggs. Save q lot
of sheaves for next winter, and see
how the hens will thresh out the
wheat and roll out the eggs. &C. NJ.

Through the kindness of Con-
stable J II Ludwig, of Monta que,
we have very convenient card
showing the open and close season
for game in his state That which
may be taken now or in the near
future is
Hare Rabbit and Quail Nov 10 to
81, Woodcock, Partridge, Grouse
and Pheasant October to Dec. 10;
Squirrels Nov. 10 to Dec. 10; Deer
Oct. % to Nov. 5 Geese, Duck and
other web footed fowl Sept. 80 to
May Black bass May 80 to
Nov. 30 Pickerel all the year ex-
cept from Feb 20 to May 1st.
No game can be taken except by the
use of guns hold at arms length, nor
any fish except with hook and line,
excepting spearing eels, suckers and
carp. To have trapped game in pos
session, to hunt on Sunday, to pol
lutte streams, or use medicated bait,
OF explosives to draw off waters to
take fish and to use set lines in wa
ters inhabited by piokorel, bass,
trout or perch is unlawful. Some
excellent suggestions are madeas to
the conduct Of sportsmen, some of
which are, never to violate the let
ter or spirit of the game laws, or
take more fish or game than you
have use for, or to be insolent or
iinpolite to a landowner who orders
you off his property To always
destroy nets or traps, to shoot game
only on the wing and never to kill
the last bird, as some should be left
to breed next year.

The Age Of Deer

Romance has played a prominent
part with regard TO the longevity Of
deer, says Chambers Journal.
What says the Highland adage?
Thrice the age of a dog is that of a horse,
Thrice the age OF horse Is that of a man,
Thrice the age Of a man is that of deer,
Thrice the age of a deer is that of an eagle
Thrice the age of an eagle is that Of an oak
tree.
This is to assign to the deer a
period of more than 200 years and
the estimate is supported by many
highly circumstantial stories. Thus
Captain Mcdonald, of Tulloch, who
died in 1776, aged So years, is said to
have known the white hind of Looh
Treig for fifty years, his father for
a like period before him, and his
grandfather for sixty years before
that. So, in 1925, Mcdonald, of
Glengarry, is reported to have killed
a deer which bore q mark on the ear
identical with that made on all the
calves he could catch by Even
Maclan-Og, who had been dead for
150 years. Analogous stories, it may
be noted, are told in country on the
continent of Europe, where deer are
to be found in any number. But
alas the general opinion among ex-
perts would seem that thirty ye ars
or thereabout is the limit of a deer's
life.

FoREwARNED Is ToRARMED.

According to the gOvornment re
port the loss of live stock from win
ter exposure is twenty-four times as
great in Louisiana as in Iowa, Min
nesota and Wisconsin. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that no pre-
paration is made to shelter stock in
the mild Southern climate, because
it is not expected that it will be
needed while the Northern
farmer expects and prepares for
a severe winter. Doubtless this eX-
PLANTATION is correct. ''FOrewarned
forearmed" is q principle of very
broad application. 1t helps us TO
cope with difficulties which could
not have been overcome otherwise.
When we know in advance of the
need of anything we take every pre-
caution to provide it. The result is
that we usually suffer much less in
convenience than we feared at first.
The past four or five years have
furnished many examples of this.
People learned to prepare for hard
times by economizing in every pos
sible way, and as a result suffered
less the last year or two than they
did the first part of the period of
of business depression. The work
ing of the same principle is shown
in our markets. A scarcity of any
thing will be partially overcome by
economy in saving or using it, or by
a substitution of something else, if
the people are forewarned This
will doubtless have some influence
on the coming years wheat market
Flour being dear people viii plan to
save it by using more corn bread,
ETC., or millers may use corn as an
adulterant as they did last year and
thus increase the supply. With
months of forewarning the world is
planning 20 avoid dear bread, and
will doubtless succeed to some ex-
tent in modifying the scarcity Of
wheat. and Farmer.

A FAIR ASSESSMENT.

AT the convention of Commits

week the principal subjects Of dis
oussion were the methods of max
ing assessments and the alien tax
law
1t was discovered by conversation
with officers from different counties
that the assessment in Pike is about
the worst in the State. This should
be q hint to the proper persons to
have some readjustment or equaliza-
tion made so that taxation may be
more fairly distributed. Whatever
is right should be done, and that
question should receive due and
careful consideration. We have not
been urging this to injure any man
or class or to impose any heavier
burdens of taxes, but solely in the
interest of all classes, that each per-
son may bear his proper proportion,
This matter should be thoughfully

THE POTATO CROP.

All indications points to a high
price for potatoes. AS will be seen
by our market report, Long Island
potatoes are selling in the New York
market at three dollars per barrel
and the best state potatoes at about
25c. per barrel less. The crop is a
very short one and is being further
diminished by rot. The farmer who
planted them as largely as usual
this season is fOrtunate-even if
half the crop rots, they will still be
profitable if the price goes any
higher which is not Improbable
