Crows Enemies Of Quail.

The greatest enemies to quail are
crows. the shrewdest birds known.
Crows are ravenOus egg eaters and de-
stroy the quail nests. These piacK
winged demons are multiplying more
RAPIDLY than any other bird. All sports
men should make war upon these Vi
cious egg eaters. They can be poisoned
with corn soaked in a solution OF
strychnine. They will, however soon
become suspicious Of the grains OF
corn discolored by the strychnine, and
II will then be necessary to open
small flap in the soft part OF each grain
and drop enough strychnine In the
hole to kill crow. Then close the
flap and press it down so as to make II
appear as nearly as possible like the
original grain. This corn should be
dropped in places where the crows
congregate and out Of reach OF other
birds.-Forest and Stream.

little over 500. 90 TO 100000.
On the EXPORT side the number OF artf-
Giles forming the trade with the island Is
much larger than those on the import
side. but In nearly all cases they show a
marked increase in 1907 over 1906. Flour.
lumber, boots and shoes. bitumlnous coal,
corn. vegetables. cotton cloths, lumber,

STRIKE TIES UP MINES.

BUTTE. Mont, Aug. 26.-The strike OF
machinlsts is gradually forcing a suspen-
sion Of operations at the big copper mines
of Butte. The Neversweat, one of the big
mines of the Anaconda Company, has been
closed for a week. and yesterday the Gag
non, the only producing mine OF the Tren-
ton Mining Company. an amalgamated sub
company was closed because of a break
in the air compressor which cannot be
repaired, except by union machinists.
One half of the West Stewart and one
half of the Original. the two mines of
w. 4. Clark, closed last night, and as the
Original supplies air for the Davis DAILY
Company's Lo1g Crosseut from the Orig
inal shaft, work in that had TO be stopped
also.
The machinists struck for an increase
of wages from $3.50 to 50 per day. For
several weeks the miners made the neces-
sary repairs in order to prevent the mines
from closing and throwing the miners OUT
of employment, but at a meeting IT
miners held last Monday, orders were Is
sued that no more machine repairs be
made by member Of the miners union.
1he companies refuse to grant the raise
demanded by the machinists and threaten
to close all mines as fast ns the machinery
becomes impaired.
