The price of game in France is alleged
to depend principally upon the State of
the moon. When the moon is dark and
poachers cannot see to set their snares
at night game is scarce. When the
moon is full there is plenty of light and
the poachers get lots of game.

Good immigration Document.

JOOu immigration Oocume
Commissioner of Agriculture Thomas
is getting up a map of the state which
is to be distributed and will make a
good immigration document. The map
is n which has been used by the office
for some time, being a general map of
the state, and Mr.. Thomas is adding to
it by dividing the state into sections,
and describing each section, for what
ever best adapted. The map is divided
into three principal sections, the Red
river valley country, the middle section
and the section west of the Missouri
river. The Red river valley country is
described as principally adapted to the
raising of grain, although parts of it are
we'll adapted to stock growing. The
central section of the state is described
as best adapted to diversified farming
and stock raising, and The western Sec
ton is given over to range grazing of
stock. The average annual rainfall of
the three sections is given, and the list
of the counties of the state with the
number of acres of vacant government
land in each. The map that will be
sent out will be a concise and definite
explanation Of the several regions Of the
state, and will afford, at a glance, a
general idea of the state and the in
dustries it is best fitted to sustain. It
is now in course of preparation and will
be issued before long.
