Risks Of Bird Lift,

But few wild things die OF old age.
Who ever saw bird or any wild animal
which had died natural death? Dan
gers on every hand beset nearly all
forms of bird and animal life. Take tho
quail for instance: nest is made in
some tussock of grass and well filled
with fifteen to twenty eggs. Along
comes crow, or skunk, or a snake
and every egg is destroyed IN jiffy. II
the eggs escape this peril and the young
are safely Matched, they are beset by
hawks skunks, weasels by day; by owls
and foxes at night. Later On they have
to run the risk OF the po.-hunter and
the wintry blizzard, and tl.e wonder is
that any at all survive. A robin built
its nest in tree by the house. red
squirrel destroyed the first sitting of
eggs; the second Matched and the five
young birds one by one fell victims to
the house cat as they essayed to leave
the nest. Years ago we saw a wild
goose leave flock which was migrating
to the north in the spring. This bird
gradually settled down and alighted on
a piece of prairie. Going to it, we found
that it could not fly and took it home.
1t died during the night. This bird
showed every indication of extreme age,
and as search failed to reveal any sort
of wound, we are Of the opinion that
here was rare instance of u wild birds
dying of old age Until man with his
nets, guns and RPS attacked the bird
life OF the country, the simple question
OF food probably more than any other
thing placed limitations upon an undue
increase of bird life. The wild pigeon
could not exist when the forests and the
mast were gone

When young couple got married for
ty or fifty years ago they did not expect
to commence life where their parents
left off. with good house, good fur ii
ture, buggy to ride in. aud silverware on

privations of pioneer life. 1t is mat
ter of regret that SO many Of our young
people of today are not willing to thus
commence life but think they must
have all the accessories of good living
to start with. This is why so many
young men hesitate about marrying and
why so many nice old maids can be

dairy interests if their premiums for

for its product, than awarding such pre-
MUM for single tub Of butter en-
tered at such competitive occasion. The

Quite general movement is in prog.

ent time looking to better and fairer
collection Of taxes upon personal prop

the job under contract to men who
make the business a speciality to ferret
out hidden property Of this character
and compel the payment Of taxes upop
1t, in most cases the county receiving
one-half of all such taxes collected and
the detectives half. Some counties
have thus uncovered large amounts Of
