The Illinois College Of Agriculture
OF the State University will arrange
its course Of instruction for special
study of various problems involved in
the cultivation OF the sugar beet
and the manufacture of beet sugar.
The Springfield State Journal says
that five experiment stations have
been established in the State. The
idea is to get At least 1000 acres Of
beets planted in the State next
year. It will require thirty fac
tories to supply Illinois with sugar
for 0Qe year.

THE NEW GAME LAW.

Below We publish the new game
law enacted by the last legislature.
It takes away from tile police juries
the regulation Of the pursuit Of
game, and substitutes y uniform
State law which applies equally to
all sections.
We believe . mistake was made
in opening the season on the first
Of September. Even now quail
have not quit nesting, ard the WOODS
are full of little fellows not yet
dedgcd for flight. Turkeys too,
are young and small. Sportsmen
all agree that the season opens en-
tirely too early, and 1t is hoped
that this feature will be remedied
by the next Legislature.
One excellent feature OF the law,
however, is that which protects all
birds. other than those used for
food at all seasons, aud the nests
OF same, for wanton destruction,
and it is hoped that this provision
will be rigidly enforced. The law
is Is follows:
Sec. 1. BE i. enacted BY the
General Assembly Of the State Of
Louisiana. That it shall be unlaw-
full in this State to catch, kill or
pursue with such intent any wild
deer or fawn, Wild ducks. Wild tu:-
keys. quail, partridge, dove or
pheasant, or have the same 10 posses
sion after it has been killed or
caught between the first day Of April
and the first day September in each
year.
Sec. 2. That no person shall
catch, kill or pursue. with such in
tent, or have in possession after the
same has been caught or killed, any
whip-poor-will, sparrow, finch,
oriole, blue-bird, swallow, night
hawk, mocklng-bird or black. bird.
except for domestic purposes, aud
except when the same shall be de-
struct,ve 10 the fruit or grain crop.
Sec. 8. That no person shall rob
or destroy the nest eggs OF any wild
bird whatsoever, save only those
Of = predatory nature or those de-
structive OF game or lnsectiverous
birds.
Sec. i. That it shall bc unlawful
for any person or persons to ex.
pose or offer fer sale any Of the
animals or birds ss far as they are
intended to be protected by the
provisions OF this Act, birds intend
ed for domesticat,on excepted.
Sec. 5. That it shall be unlawful
to catch or attempt to catch or take
by snare, trap or other means any
Of the game birds or animals dur
ing the time which said birds are
intended to be protected by this
Act.
Sec. 6. That no idler, vagrant.
pot-hunler or professional hunter
shall take, catch or kill or pursue
game in this State, nor shall euch
persons establish themselves upon
public or vacant lands Of this state
for the purpose Of killing game /;
provided this section shall not apply
to residents Of the State OF Louisi-
ana.
Sec. Z. That any person Ut pei
cons violating any Of the above
provisions shall be guilty Of . mis-
demeano: and shalt on conviction
pay . finc not to exceed City dollars
or imprisonment 10 the parish jail
for not more than sixty days or
both, ut the discretion Of the court,
for each and every ofRense.
