The game laws of New Jersey, right
or wrong, absolutely prohibit the pos
session OF game in that State sixteen
days after the shooting season closes,
and the law is interpreted to affect
game killed in other States as well as
in New Jersey. Joseph s. Mundy, an
engine manufacturer, of Newark, and
a most ardent sportsman, became in
sOlved with the game wardens and said
that he was going to make test of the
matter. In raid upon cold storage
house in Newark the wardens found
three cases of Southern quail marked
squads and bearing Mr.. Mundy's tags.
There were 19S birds in the lot, and the
penalty for having them is $50 each.
Mr.. Mundy's bill to the State was con-
sequently $3.50, although the birds
were shot in North Carolina. where
Mr.. Mundy was licensed to shoot. but
where the export of quail is restricted.
Mr.. Mundy retained Riker & Riker,
of Newark, to contest the case. The
quail were seized and carried off by
the wardens to be distributed among
the hospitals. sThe same wardens
seached cold storage house in Jersey
City and found birds enough to bring
the aggregate of fines up to nearly $685.

the owners of the birds in each in

ing supposed to know what was in the
boxes.

The bee keepers Of certain fruit
growing Section of California onee got
into an alteration about pasturagc for
their bees, and, as result, bee keep
ing was abolished in that part of the
State.
During the next few years the fruit
crops fell off fully one-half. The ques-
ton was investigated by the alarmed
growers, and it was found that the de-
crease in fruit had been co-incideat
with the giving up Of bee keeping. The
polarization. for the most part. hav-
ing been affected by the bees.
TO remedy this, bees were brought
in in large numbers, and in year or
two the fruit output went back to its
normal capacity-a big argument why
every fruit grower should keep to al
least a few colonies Of bees to insure
the proper fertilization of his fruit
