Rabbits and Farm Crops.

Too many of the so-called game
laws are made for the benefit of the
sportsman rather than the preserva-
ton of insectivorous birds or bene-
fetal animals. We have heretofore
spoken of the protection of rabbits
In many States. There is no possible
reason for the protection of these
pests of the farm, except to give
sport to the idle fellows who follow
their beagles over the farmers land
without any regard for the farmer or
his crops. No close season is need
ed for rabbits, for no matter when
or how they are hunted they will in
crease more than is desirable to the
farmer. And now we hear that on
Long Island they are having a pest
Of jack rabbits, which are far worse
than our common hare. Sportsmen
turned loose there a large number of
these long cared gentry and they
have increased to such an extent that
the crops of the truck farmers have
suffered greatly. We do not believe
that if the matter was carried to the
higher courts that any farmer could
be fined for shooting any wild animal
that is a pest to his crops at any
time he chooses to do so. No one
has a right for mere sport to turn
out a lot of animals that prey on the
f1rmers' crops, and every farmer has
the natural right to protect his farm
and crops from trespass by wild ami
mails or by the idle fellows that hunt
them. All that is needed is for the
farmers to unite in testing the ridic-
ulous game laws that are made solely
Tor the spor, smen. AS it is now, the
fruit grower must stand by and let
the robins eat his cherries and the
jack rabbits eat his garden truck,
and under the game laws he cannot
shoot them. The law guarantees
every man %peaceable possession of
his lands, and these are serious tres
passes, and we believe that under
any sensible bill of rights the farmer
has the right to protect his land
from trespass. 1t is mainly a craze
Tor sport at the expense of the farm

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair Began

From Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part of July my whole
body began to itch. ] did not take much
notice Of it at first, but it began to get
worse all the time, and then l began to
get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and
other remedies that were recommended
for skin humors, but l became worse all

my scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as | would get in
bed and get warm, my whole body would
begin to itch, and my finger nails would
keep it irritated, and it was not long be-
fore l could not rest night or day. A
friend asked me to try the Cuticura Rene
dies, and l did, and the first application
helped me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take a hot bath every night
and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to
my whole body, and l kept getting better,
and by the time l used four boxes of Gu
ticura l was entirely cured and my hair

Sport in America.

Before the Civil War we Ameri-
cans had few outdoor pastimes.
There was considerable fishing, very
little angling. There was some fox
hunting in the South, some shooting
in the North. Tennis and golf were
unknown to us; croquet was decor
ously played. Driving and riding
we're restricted to the few who could
afford the time and expense; one or
two cricket elevens struggled for ex-
~istence. There were no bicycles, no
motors, of course, only an absurd
velocipede or two. Extreme youth
flew kites" played marbles and
whipped tops. Among their elders,
however, there was a mincing, arti-
fetal attitude toward all outdoor
sport which found its fullest express
sion in a quadrille, at croquet, or a
sentimental sailing expedition under
the calmest of skies.
However, even then we had yachts.
men-natural corollary of our SUI
perb commercial navy-and we had
good horses and were breeding better
ones, and we by inheritance were a
nation of men who handled a rife
properly.
War came and left us with its i'm
mense accumulation of good and
evil, and it seemed then that out of
sheer WEAKNESS of sadness and
trouble the germ of the old play
spirit, so long dormant, awoke
among us to save us from ourselves.

TURKEYS COOK cHEsTNUTs
Wise Birds that Live in the WiIds Of
PENNSYLVANIA.

Filled with an overwhelming spirit
of gratitude for the protecting laws
thrown around them by the State of
Pennsylvania, game birds and animals
which are now safe from pot hunters
are showing their appreciation in a
most amazing manner. This is evid-
enced by the truthful reports coming
from various points and which are
here set forth.
Near Blain, Perry county, Hiram
Glib observed a flock Of wild turkeys
carrying c%hestnuts, just now ripening,
to a charcoal pit and dropping them
upon the hot Goals. Soon the nuts
burst open, and the intelligent birds,
raking them out with their claws, car
ried the mealy chestnuts to a cleared
spot, where, after cooling, the nuts
were eaten with gusto.
Mr.. Glib is convinced that the wild
turkeys are doing their best to ac-
quire a more delicious flavor, so that
they will be highly appreciated by
the sportsmen who are lucky enough
to kill and eat them.

BEES AT S20C EACH.
Woman Apiarist Insurcs "Qnccns-
From Italy.


Two score italian queen bees, val
ued at from $50 to $500 each, ar
rived recently on the steamship st.
Paul. They are the property of Mrs.
R. C. Riggs, of Arkansas City, Kan,
who herself accompanied them.
Salerno, Italy, it seems, is head
quarters for the finest variety of
Italian queen, and thither Mrs. Riggs
went for the express purpose of buy
ing a number of these valuable little
insects.
THE Italian queen" said Mrs.
Riggs, in speaking of her purchase,
lis much larger than the ordinary bee
and is of a beautiful light gold color.
1t is worth literally dozens of times
its W weight in gold, because of its
marvellous productivity. No other
+ can compare with it in this re-
spect."
OF course, having a valuable lot of
merchandise in her possession - her
new bees are valued at $1S00-Mrs.
Riggs wanted to have them insured.
The average person wouldn't know
where to go or what to do to get a
swarm of bees insured, But Mrs.
Riggs did. An Italian company, as
sumed the risk for the tiny creatures
on their voyage to America, so that
her only danger lay in the journey
between New York and Arkansas
City.
"Of the tens of thousands of people
who eat honey or who see bees fit
ting about among the clover blooms
in summer" said Mrs. Riggs, very
few know anything of the trouble en-
tailed in raising bees or realize the
immense capital that is invested in
agriculture. During the sixteen years
that / have been in the business l
have expended something like $685.
600 on my apiari IS. The returns,
however, have been fairly large, as l
market my honey in many cities.
Bee farming is not a business out
of which the novice can expect to
reap much of a harvest. People ceem
to think any fool can make money at
bees. 1t isn't so. The theoretical
and practical sides of agriculture
must be thoroughly mastered If one
is to succeed in it, and that takes
many years.
Incidentally, the bee farmer must
not be susceptible to the virus of the
sting. Every one VINO handles bees
or is with them much must expect
necessarily to take a certain amount
of singing, and those who are con
s~titutionally not fitted to stand it
are seriously handicapped in bust

Mrs. Riggs declares that she is alb
solutely immune. And yet l have
been stung hundreds of times at
once she says. All my assistants
are equally immune-in fact, | won't

is not"
One of the funny things about this
whole business is that getting
~'stung" is supposed to be good for
the rheumatic" Mrs. Riggs says
she actually has people come to her
people who are tortured by rheu-
matism-who ask the privilege of
placing themselves in the way of
being badly stung. OF course, she is
always willing to accommodate them.
And, oddly enough" she laughed,

Practical Advice on Horse Feeding.

Practical Advice on Horse Feeding.
A noted French horseman gives
the following in an agricultural jour.
nal of Paris regarding the proper
feeding of horses:
Three meals are necessary and
sufficient, with an interval of four OF
five hours between to keep a horse in
good condition. Oats take at least
two hours to digest; hay takes three
hours, and because it takes so long
it should be given when the days
work is over. The evening meai
should be a full meal, the animal be-
ing then at rest and able to digest its
food at leisure. There should be ar
interval of half an hour between the
return of the horse to the stable and
his getting his evening meal.
TOO much food at a meal or toe
long abstinence between meals, fol.
lowed by voracious feeding, is condu'
Give to collie and Indigestion. Irregu'
larly fed he is given to showing hit
impotence by letting his hoofs play
about the woodwork of his stall. Civ.
ing 'refreshers' at odd times is also
bad. Remember that both stomach
and bladder should never be loaded
in work time, whether light or heavy
work is done. A horse, therefore
should not be ridden or driven imme.
diately after a meal, on the same
principle that it ought not to be fec
sooner than half an hour after WORK
is over. Between one end of the
year and another a horse consumes
ahamount of dry, heating food which
calls for a special regime to neutral.
lie the excessive proteid consumption
that has taken place. Thus in au.
tumn a ration of carrots given before
the evening meal is good, and so il
spring, at the fall of the winter coat
a little grain meal is beneficial, mixed
with hay and oats, for the evening
meal. Another maxim much disre.
garded in practice is that the horse
should be watered long enough be
fore being put to work, and Their
sparingly."

Good Business.

On some farms it will be a good
business operation to sell off the best
timothy and horse hay and buy stand
ing grass of the lower grade to be
u and cured for the cattle. The
crop is so good in many localities
that a great deal of this meadow hay
and brook grass is for sale at very
low prices, farmers having enough of
the better grass to fill their barns
and not caring to stack the lower
grades.-American Cultivator.

Advice For Poultry Growers.


Use kerosene to rid the hen-house
Of lice. Wash the roosts with it.
Apply it with a brush, as you would
paint, to all cracksand corners where
lice would be likely to Turk. Use it
literally and frequently. Act on the
principle that prevention is better
than cure.
Persian insect powder, if you can
get the fresh article, is the best rem
edy for lice on fowls. 1t is harmless
to the fowl, but death to the insect.
Old powder is generally worthless.
Catch the hen and dust it freely
among her feathers and under her
wings.
Feed a soft mash in the morning.
The hens seem to relish it better then
than at any other time during the
day. Make it of two parts bran, one
part middlings, one part cornmeal,
one part crushed oats. Add a pinch
of salt and one of cayenne pepper.
Meat can be used to advantage
about three times a week. Run it
through a sausage grinder. Use
about a pound each time to a dozen
hens. 1t will stimulate them to lay
ing, as a general thing, and will
prove a welcome addition to their
usual diet, which ought to be varied
occasionally. A fowls appetite is
bharpened and benefited by a change
of food, now and then, though the
regular bill of fare should be made
up largely of corn, oats, wheat and
barley. 1t pays to humor a hens
whims, somewhat, when eggs are
bringing a big price and fresh ones
are hard to get.-Outing Magazine.
