DOG LAW

The attention of owners of female
dogs is called to an act passed by the
last Legislature, making 1t a misde
meanor and punishable by fine OF
not less than $500 nor more than
$500 and all the cost in the case. to
own or keep Female Dog, months
old and over, without the same being
registered.
| am very DESTROYS that every one
should understand this law, in order
that they may avoid being indicted
for failure to register their female
dogs. Don't get the mistaken idea in.
to your mind that 1t will not be known
TINT your dog is not registered. The
law gives the Grand Jury inquisitorial
powers In the matter, hence your best
friend or nearest neighbor may be 4
compelled to give testimony before
the Grand Jury that will convict you.
This is not tax, but a registry Zee,
placed on all female dogs, and is not
to be paid for but the one time. This
law takes effect on July the LIST. 1907;
on that date or as soon thereafter as
practicable. come forward and regis.
Ter your female dogs. Don't deIay
he matter until 'True Bill" is re-
urned against you; killing the dog
will do no good then, and fine of
twenty-five dollars and the cost in |
he case, means about fifty dollars our !
Il your pocket. hope you will give
his your immediate attention.

My ideas on poultry management

The farming community rather than tC
the fancier. because know the latter
will not permit his fowl to labor under
the same disadvantages. What have
to say will be applied to the every
day farmer who, as a rule, does nor
take much interest in raising poultry
for fancy or for profit, but looks at
it rather as a something that is very
good for children or old women to look
after, but for a man to lose his home

ton, trust that any remarks that |
make may prove to be profitable and
instructive. / shall state very briefly
facts which have come under my own
observation within the last twenty
years. | have always contended that
poultry can be raised for profit, and
/ trust that any remarks that | may
make will be taken in good part, and
may be the means of stimulating the
farmer to more earnest and faithful
work in the poultry industry. In the
first place, for the success of poultry
raising, a suitable location on the farm
should be selected, where the build !
ings, if possible, would be shielded
from the north winds Suitable and
properly arranged buildings should
also be provided for the comfort AND
health of the fowl. In my travels to

die and drop OF by the score Then
the autumn months come bringing
With them the cold, stormy wind and
rain and the poor chickens roosting in
the trees all night long. sometimes
/ getting drenched through and through,
and the young stock, which at that
] season of the year would soon begin
| to lay, instead contract that deadly
disease called roup, and die of by the
dozen. Then come the winter months,
and there is no protection from the
cold and frost and stormy blasts, and
we find the poor chicken roosting on
the beams of the drive shed, or the
wood-shed, or some other Unprotected
building. The consequence is their
combs become frozen and swelled and
their toes frozen off, and it takes about |
all they get to eat to sustain mere
vitality; and yet the good man of the
farm wonders why the hens don't lay,
and Oftimes will say unkind words to
his better half, telling her the nasty,
dirty things don't pay to feed" and
that she ought to kill Them" and,
under these most deplorable circum-
stances, ] don't wonder at the above

UP PRESIDENT.

HONOLULU, June SACK Lon
don declines to stay in the Roosevelt
Ananias club. London is now at Pearl
Harbor, near Honolulu, with his boat
the Shark, resting from his recent
cruise from San Francisco. He was
shown the recent interview with the
President in Everybodys Magazine, in
which the President accuses London
of being nature fakir."
so | am a nature fakir," said Lon
don. Well, thank God that l am not
an authority on anything. l have
knocked around the world enough to
know that no one man can see it all,
and because l say believe certain
thing that is no reason why it hap
pened. Not every man has hunted
wolves like the President has, but II
would like to match bulldog against |
a wolf and bet with him on the fight. |
| think the dog would win. l have
seen some tomcats lick some mighty
big dogs, too.
The President may know all about
the wolves of Colorado, for have seen
him photographed with some he had
hunted, and mighty little ones they
were, but | don't believe he knows
enough about the wolves and huskies
Of Alaska to pose as an authority.
Now, one word as to the nature of 4 :
he huskies, or wolfdogs of the north.
These huskies are the filters of inn
ported dogs bred to wolves, and are !
ierce and savage in their nature, re-
wing, however, upon the assistance oil

Il the two is knocked down in the

ever kills another, and a stout bull

latch for any wolfdog. On my re-
Urn from Alaska / brought out one Of
lese wolfdogs, and it was my con- q
ant fear that the animal would be
