of English fanciers, and the result has
been the revival of the Old English
game. The recent contention as to the
possibility of raising such games as the
present tyne of standard games has
had a Lively inning in the American
Fancier. At the same time real good
ones are quite scarce, and we do not
see any very large number of them
with us in a whole year. but those who
are fortunate enough to produce few
of them are able to dispose of them
quickly at better price than is paid

The Black Breasted Red games
stand at the head of the game birds all
over the world. They hardly need de-
tcription, so well known are they. An
important point is what is called sta
ton, and with the majority this means
length of leg. We see many at our

The New Game Laws.

Already number of the bills passed by
the Legislature making changes in the Fish
and Game laws have been signed by the
Governor and become laws, and others will
soon be disposed Of. The law changing the
open season for killing rabbits, quails and
pheasants is Of more than passing interest
to the army of sportsmen who favored a
shorter season. The opening date is now
fixed on the 10th of November, the season
to close on the 31st of December. This
change, it is believed by many, will go far
towards improving the sport as well as the
preservation Of game.
The act to provide for the destruction of
foxes and the payment of premiums there
for is considered one of the best measures
for the protection Of rabbits in the lower
counties of the State that has become
law in recent years. Foxes have increased
in numbers in recent years, and have de-
stroyed much game, and as an incentive
for their destruction a premium of So is
offered for each fox killed, when the proper
proof is shown, the premium to be paid by
the Board of Freeholders in the county in
which the fox is killed. The act also fixes
heavy penalty for the fraudulent collec-
tions of the premiums.
An important bill which has been signed
is that which prohibits the sale of food fish
for fertilizing purposes, or the manufacture
of oil. Some of the pound fishermen are
said to have been in the habit of selling
food fish to the fertilizing establishments
when overstocked, and heavy penalty has
been provided to put stop to the practice.
The amendment to the bill has been APP
proved, and provides that nothing in the
act shall be construed as in any wise in
terfering with the taking of menhaden, or
mossbunkers, for bait or for the manufac-
ture of oil or fertilizing material, and that
hereafter no license fee shall be required
from any resident of this State for the
taking of such menhaden or mossbunkers.
Hereafter it shall be unlawful to sell or
offer for sale any striped bass or rock fish
less than eight inches in length, under a
penalty of $25 fine.
The bill, which fixes license fee of $40
for nonresident sportsmen to hunt in New
jersey, created quite discussion during
its consideration, and was passed after
being amended so that the license should
not effect those who desire to shoot mud
hens, snipe and other water fowl.
The old laws on the removal of game
from the State and the tracking of game in
the snow remain unchanged, and resident
sportsmen are of the opinion that the
legislation on game during the past three
years is more beneficial to the State than
any for many years.

Perfume Making In This Country.
The department of agriculture, being
anxious to encourage the growing of
flowers for perfume manufacture in

suitability Of conditions in the south

duced on an extensive scale to great
advantage.

Passage o, the oieo Bill

The oleo bill has passed the Senate
again, after being sent back to the
House, and is now in the hands of the
President. The bill contains now much
more than it did when it went to the
House on its first passage by the as
sembly. The bill then provided only
for the controlling of the oleomarga-
rine product. The Senate am ended it
to include all renovated and adulterat-
ed buffers, and made the annual tax
for manufacturers $500. When it got
back to the House that body reduced
this tax to $50 in the case of renovat-
ed butter. The Senate agreed to the
amendment, and so the bill passed. It
has taken several years of very hard
work on the part of the dairymen to
get this bill enacted into law. Its best
provision is perhaps placing these ar
ticles of food under police regulation
of the various states. So it will be no
longer possible to ship in packages Of
bogus butter under the cloak of the
original package decision" The oleo-
margarine men assert that the law
will be declared unconstitutional,
while its friends are equally certain
that it will not so be declared, but that
it will stand approved by the courts.

Milk sold in cities has a surprising
lack of uniformity. Figures collected
by people connected with Hull House
Chicago, and with Lewis Institute
Chicago, show this. Though the price
may be constant, the food value OF tbs
milk sold is never that. The legal re-
quirements for milk in Chicago are
per cent solids other than fat and
per cent fat, total solids. u per cent
Yet some of the samples of milk taken
fell below per cent total solids. in
Guiding the fat, while others went as
high as 16 per cent solids. One sample
of whole milk analysed 2 per cent tat
and 4.24 per cent other solids. An
other sample analysed SO per cent fat
and SOS per cent of other solids. There
were all sorts of variations between
these two extremes. In the case of the
very poor milk mentioned there is no
doubt that water had been added CO.
piously. In the case of the richest
milk it is altogether probable that the
milk included more than its rightful
proportion of cream. Sometimes fraud
is the cause of the inequality and
sometimes it is accident. 1t is obvious
that if a can of milk is served out
from a faucet the cream will continue
to rise while the milk is being ped
died out. AS a result the last custom
ers get an excessively rich milk at the
expense of some others.

Some years ago, when the bicycle
business was enjoying its greatest
prosperity, it was very common for
amateur prophets to predict the
"horseless age" Every one seemed
about to discard the horse forever. But
the excitement proved of short dura-
ton, and the horse came again INFO
favor. But since that time the export
trade for American horses has very
largely grown up, and the home de-
mand has also steadily increased In
1893, the prices for horses were very
low. This fact in itself was the start
ing point OF an upward movement.
The low prices proved an attraction 20
foreign buyers, and our horses began
to go abroad in sufficient numbers TO
offset the imports. In 1895 for the hrst
time in many years the foreign trade
showed a favorable balance. In that
wear about $4,000 horses were imported
and a like number exported. From
1884 to 1895 we imported 442, 450 horses,
an average of $3.50 per year. During
the same time we exported 45,94O. an
average of 3,S2S per year. The annual
balance in animals against US was
about SO 900. After 1895 the number
of horses annually imported fell OFF
rapidly, dropping to 1891 in 1895; TO
6.99S in 1897, and thereafter being lit
tie in excess of 5000 per year. In the
meantime exports increased as fol-
lows: 1896. 25,126; 1897, 1852; 1898,
5l.150; 1899, 45,77S; 1900. 64,722; 1901,
50 .25O. These figures apply to horses
only. The trade in mules has grown
more rapidly proportionately than has
that of horses. In 1898 we sent abroad
over 5000 mules, and the next year
over 5000 In 1900 the number ex-
ported was 43,369, and in 1901 it was
34.4o5. IL seven years we have sent
abroad 429,O75 horses and mules.
Meanwhile the demand at home has
been vigorous and is increasing. Veri
" the horseless age is not yet.

A cooperative experiment in steer
feeding is being carried on under the
direction of Professor H. w. Mumford
of the University of Illinois at the
farm of E. D. Funk, Shirley, Illinois.
The object of the experiment is to de-
termine whether shock corn or ensi-
lage is the best ration for beef making.
Fifty calves, each eight months old,
were divided into two lots, one Of them
getting a ration largely of shock corn
with a minimum amount OF whole
oats and clover hay. The other lot
gets exactly the same amount of oats
and clover hay, but the calves in this
lot get their corn and corn slower in
the form of silage. Equal acreage of
silage and shock corn were set aside
for this work SO that at the end of the
experiment Professor Mumford will be
able to determine whether more
pounds of beef can be made from an
acre of shock corn. Careful records
are also available showing the rela-
tive cost of harvesting and feeding the
silage and shock corn to be used in
this experiment. The calves will be
turned to grass about the middle OF
May and gains through the summer
season observed. The animals used in
this experiment will be finished on ST.

This variety is sometimes known as
he White Turkey. 1t is not SO popu-
ar as some other kinds, yet in few
localities it is a favorite. Many breed
srs that have had an opportunity to
compare this turkey with others assert
that it is one of the most profitable
kinds. The White Hollands grow
rapidly and attain a heavy weight at
an early age. They are perhaps the
pest layers among turkeys. 1t is some
lines reckoned as a fault that few
aens want to set early in the season,
and a large number of eggs and no
oroody hens is not an uncommon oc-
surrence. l believe them to

ers in general, and think that no one

Trees for Shade.

A communication from the Oklahoma
station says: The trees most generally
planted have been elm, soft maple, ca
talpa, black locust and box elder. Inc
elm grows slowly at first and is at
tackled by borers, but is the best shaoe
tree in the list and should be lncluoed
in every planting for shade. The sou
maple is easily broken by the wind ana
suffers from drouth and the attacks OF
borers but it grows rapidly from the
start and makes a pretty tree. Inc
limbs of the catalpa tree are easily
broken by the winds, but 1t grows rap
idly, makes fair shade and is valuapie
timber for posts. The black locust is
not generally regarded as hrst-ciass
shade tree and it's tendency to sprout
from the roots makes it somewhat Cd
tectionable on lawns. But 1t Is the
fastest grower in the list, will stano
more neglect than the others, and the
wood is very durable for posts. The
box elder is moderate grower and is
not adapted to poor upland soil. though
it does we'll in favored locations. The
ash and sycamore are good trees, but
are not adapted to as wide a range OF
soils as the others.

While at the Kansas Agricultural
College lately the writer had the pleas
ure of talking with Mr.. Baxter, who
has charge of the greenhouses there.
Mr.. Baxter is perhaps the only man IN
the country who occupies the double
position of manager of greenhouses
and instructor in Horticulture. At the
college are 400 young ladies, most OF
whom are taking the domestic science
course. Several times a week classes
go to the greenhouses and are there in
structed in the science of cultivating
and caring for flowers. The future
homes of these girls will show the ef-
fects of this teaching. Where there
are greenhouses under the charge OF
competent foriculturists the latter
might be used as instructors not only
in our colleges, but also in many of our
common schools. Probably all advanced
educational institutions have green
houses connected with them, and this
opens up a large field for demonsTa-
