New Kind of Wheat.

The Minnesota State Agricultural
Experiment station has been engaged
for ten years in making new kinds of
wheat, and enough has been accumu-
lated last year to give seeds to a num-
Der of farmers for field tests. The re-
ports indicate that the new kind thus
produced will average about two BUSH
els to the acre more than the old kind,
which in the three states of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota would make
crop larger by 100000 bushels,
amounting to about $22, 900, 900. The
new wheat is produced by crossing
two selected heads of the best old va
rleties, thus making one head of the
new. The work is done by transferring
the pollen from the flower of one head
to the stigma of the flower of the
other. A tissue sack is then placed
over the latter to protect it from in
sects and birds. The process is always
uncertain, however, for the new kind
may have none of the good qualities of
the two old kinds used; on the other
hand, it may be better than either of
them

reports from the Dakotas are as rosy.
Sportsmen will have their desire to
bag game satiated this season.
1t is said that one of the results of
the plentiful supply of game will be
the restriction of large hunting par
ties. City men are going into the coun-
try in small groups. Long trips in
tended by hunters from the big cities,
like Chicago, st. Lours. Omaha, st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee. etc.,
have been cut short. The sportsmen
have found it most convenient to go
out into Minnesota, and leave the train
almost anywhere for some rich game
region near at hand.
One of the results of the careful en-
forcement of the laws in Minnesota
against training bird dogs during the
closed season has been the develop
ment of dog market for ''wise" dogs.
Sportsmen do not wish to have the
worry of training the young animals
when they might be out shooting, and
the consequence will be that every man
who has a good kennel of likely dogs
will send the canine pets out of the
state to have them schooled for game.
"You have to shoot bird to give the
dog the right kind of training" said a
veteran sportsman, "and as the laws
stand in Minnesota and the Dakotas,
the hunters are in a quandary. 1t
would be better for all visitors to bring
broken dogs with them"
Pheasants and grouse are being
bagged in large numbers. While these
birds will never be as plentiful as they
were a few years ago, they have been
afforded good protection, and such
outrages as marked the almost wanton
destruction of the pheasants in north
ern Minnesota few years ago will
never be repeated. Despite the re-
strictions that the legislatures of the
western states imposed on hunting,
the visitors are numerous, and for the
most part are thorough sportsmen,
who have none of the instincts of the
pot hunter. They are all believers in
the sentiment expressed by President
Roosevelt when the latter was in Yer
mont previous to the terrible calam-
ity at Buffalo. Mr.. Roosevelt i'm.
pressed the statement upon his audit
ors that the game should be protected
for the people by the people"

ESCAPED Assessment.

The schedules which have been sub
mitted to the state board of equaliza-
ton discloses the fact that there are
eighteen private banks in Minnesota
which have not been assessed. They
will all escape the burdens of taxation
for this year at least, for the board is
powerless in the matter There is no
way to reach them. The board has no
power to order the assessment of a
piece-of property which has not been
assessed; it can only raise or lower the
assessments made by the assessors.
The assessors were subjected to Sc
we're criticisms by the members of the
equalization board as the list of banks
not reported nor assessed was read

by approaching too hastily on the
back trail. The timid animal is a care
full scout for danger in the rear, and
wide detours are necessary to get with
in shot of him.
Small caliber, high velocity projec-
tile weapons are used almost generally
by hunters who go after the shy deer,
and sometimes these bullets fired into
deer do not strike a bone or vital
spot and the long hair of the animal
causes the blood to coagulate and stop
flowing. Tracking the wounded deer
under these circumstances is profess
sion which the amateur from the cities
cannot expect to attain prowess in.
One of the chief dangers in deer hunt
ing which should be impressed upon
the city hunters, is the liability of
hunters to be shot by careless nimrods.
The latter will take shot at anything
moving that looks like deer in color.
To avoid danger it is well to be careful
about clothing worn in the woods.
Wooden, of course, is the, material for
hunters clothes, and the colors should
be neutral. The light browns and yell
low-gray tints should be stunned, or
they will prove good targets.
Novices invariably overshoot the
mark when aiming after running deer.
The old hunters say that the shooter
sees his game better when it is in the
air and leaping. They tell the shooters
to shoot under when the deer is run
ming. From November 10 to November
80 Wisconsin permits shooting deer,
but exempts the counties of Fond du
Lac, Sheboygan and Manitowoc. 1t is
also illegal to hunt deer with the dog,
by using artificial light or by trapping.
The red deer of the Badger state are
going to be killed in great numbers
this fall. But there is growing SEN
timent among those who hunt each
year against ever shooting doe. This
sentiment should continue until it
makes every hunter take an oath not
to send lead into the doe. The bucks
are graceful and timid and have fine
eyes, it is true, but the state solons
whosmake the laws have seen fit to per-
NIT the destruction of the animal with
in restricted dates There are rigid
laws about taking deer out of thu
state.

N1MRODS have begun the fall cam
~ paign upon game. There is
every indicat ion that this is 60
ing to be the greatest hunting season
known in years. Fixed ammunition
dealers have prepared for a great
trade. But the leaders of shotgun
shells are unable to supply the de-
mand. I asked a representative of the
biggest powder company in the coun-
try if he had heard anything by which
he could judge the amount of hunting
that was going to be done in the west
and northwest. He said: "One firm is
loading 100000 shells every day and
is six weeks behind on it's orders. An
other concern is loading 100000 shells
and is also far behind in orders.
Roughly speaking the big concerns are
loading 100000 shells every day and
they cannot keep pace with the burn
ing of powder. There will be plenty of
fixed ammunition for rifles, and there
is no shortage of bulk powder for those
who load their own shells. This would
seem to indicate that every man and
boy capable of handling shotgun is
out after grouse, chicken, ducks,
squirrel and all manner of small
BIRDS"
1t is taken as an indicat ion of won
derful growth of interest in hunting
that parties in Minnesota, the Dakotas
and Wisconsin were made up and were
out waiting for the hour which marked
the letting down of the legal bars
against hunting. Promptly at the
sound of the IL o'clock, midnight, bell
the popping season began. Out near
Aitkin, Audubon, Benton, Perham, Hit
terday and many other Minnesota
towns the slaughter of chickens,
ducks, ETC., began the instant the hunt
ers could see the barrel ends.
All reports from the Quitting
stores, which in some way drift into
ST. Paul, show that prairie chickens
are exceptionally abundant in many of
the Minnesota counties. Perhaps the
dry weather of the early summer was
just what the birds needed. The south
ern counties of Minnesota are fairly
teeming with feathered life, and the

Public Schools and Libraries of
Minnesota Enriched by Gifts of
Senator Davis Widow.

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 30.-Nearly
1000 volumes from the extensive
library of the late Senator Cushman
X. Davis have already been given by
Mrs. Davis to the public schools and
libraries of the state.
The books were those collected by
the Minnesota statesman, and bore
upon almost every phase of public
life.
Altogether about $500 volumes will
be thus distributed, including all of
the reference books in the library.

Dogs Taxed.

Two resolutions were adopted by the
board of equalization which will add
considerable property to the assess
ment rolls of the state. One instructs
county auditors to list all private
banks, on which no report has been
made, at their proper valuation, and
see that they are assessed for this
years taxes. There are thirty-nine
such banks
The other resolution had to do with
dogs. Where no returns have been
made npon them, county auditors are
advised to place all on the tax list at
valuation of S. each. Benton and
Goodhue counties were each raised 400
per cent, while Carver and Fillmore
CANNES were increased $50 per cent
each. Dakota county was given an in
crease 25 per cent.

Child Labor.

The state labor bureau has COM
menced a campaign in this state
against the employment of children
under Is years of age during the nine
months of the year when school is in
session, which it is believed will work
a radical reform in this direction.
The agents of the bureau have been
very active for the past few months,
and the result is that for the first time
in their history the department stores
of the twin cities are advertising for
cash boys. The telegraph companies
and the large factories have been thor
oughly investigated by the bureau and
several hundred children formerly en-
ployed all the year round by these con-
Germs have been sent to schools.
