Regularity in Feedin6 and Milk
ing.

The great Importance of feeding
and milking cows with the utmost
regularity has not received that at
tention which their importance de-
mand. When the time comes for
feeding the COW it expects its feed,
and if it does not get it there will
be some loss of flesh or lack of
progress; and the more regularly
the cows have been fed in the past
the greater will be the loss conse-
quent upon irregular feeding,
But the loss from irregularity is
nowhere more apparent than in
milking. Some dairvmen milk a
little later on Sunday morning
than through the week. The fol-
lowing test shows the folly of this
practice: A prominent dairyman
in Pennsylvania delayed milking
his COWS on Sunday morning for
an hour and half, and there was
a large shrinkage In the milk yield
that evening and for the day. On
Monday morning and on Tuesday
morning there was difference,
From fifty cows the shrinkage on
Monday morning was about one
hundred pounds, or an average of
two pounds apiece, That dairy
man will never let his cows 90
over the regular milking time on
Sunday morning again.-Thomas
w. Lloyd, in Tribune Fatmer.

The merchants and landlords of
Danville are organizing a unique
protective association. Each land
lord supplies every member of the
association with list of people
to whom has rented and who have
been dilatory in paying rentals or
from whom it has been impossible
to collect. the memb ers take up
on themselves an obligation com
bined with heavy forfeiture not
TO rent to such tenants until they
have first satisfied the original
landlord to whom they are indebt-
ed. Tie same policy will be pur-
sued by the merchants in selling
goods on credit.

Protecting the Quail.

Sportsmen in the country are
trying TO prevent the pot
hunters" from destroying the quail
which already are few compared
with numbers in former days-as
may be judged from the fact that
III 1910, according to the state
ment of the naturalist Audubon,
they could be bought for II cents
dozen. In 1881 they were COM
monty purchased at 30 cents per
dozen, being eventhen a deli
cacy obtainable by the poor; but
the price today ranges from SO TO
So dozen.
The demand for quail exceeds
the supply, and on this account
the birds are sought persistently
by market hunters everywhere. A
single dealer not long ago sold
100, 900 of them in one season. No
wonder, then, that dear little
"Bob White" is disappearing.
At a conservative estimate, from
100000 to 100000 sportsmen go
out from our cities every autumn
to hunt quail. Of course, they
kill great many of the birds, but
they do not wipe them out whole
sale, and, in compensation, they
paw a great deal of money to
farmers who own good shooting
land. Besides, paradoxical as it
may seem, they exert a powerful in
fiuence for the protection of the
''Bobwhite." Many individuals
and clubs own or lease large tracts
where they maintain the birds and
shoot only the surplus. These en-
thusists assist in the enforcement
OF game laws, restock depleted
coverts, and provide for the quail
in times of scarcity.
Some clubs are organized for the
purpose of holding field trials"
the object of which is to test the
ability of competing dogs TO find
and point quails. T etrelving be-
ing not being required, the birds
are NOT shot. Such trials are held
in score OF States, and in some
of the contests more than hun
dred dogs are enacted. A few
owners of field-trial dogs have pre-
serves of their own, stocked with
quail, and live "Bobwhites" for
purposes of the kind are in de-
mand at high prices.
A number of clubs control, each
of them, preserves of from 5000 to
20, 1000 acres, on which no shooting
is allowed-or, il permitted, is
carefully regulat, d--and suitable
meas ures are taken for protecting
the quail and facilitating their
propagation. The birds bread
ra pidly, and under such conditions
they multiply at surprising rate.

Secretary Taft is at present q

Secretary Taft is at present On
the Isthmus of Panama, looking
carefully into matters affecting
the government interests there. 1t
is claimed that for the amount of
money expended up to this time
on the Panama canal work, $10,-
100000, little results have been
obtained, and that much of this
amount has gone to pay salaries
of more or less superhuous officials.
Secretary Taft will personally in

be depended upon institute various
reforms wereby more results will
be secured in construction work.
