CAN FIND PLENTY OF FOOD

sEWhile deer are chiefly browsing ANIMALS, -
captivity they eat nearly every kind OF vegetar
ton. including most kinds of garden stun. They
are fond of acorns, beechnuts, chestnuts ana
other mast. Lily pads, leaves, hchens ana
moses are freely eaten.
with plenty Of range and an abundant va
riety Of plants there need be, therefore 20
apprehension concerning the deer's food A
good supply Of running water must be PROVIDED
and the animals should have access TO zoek salt;
IF the browse and pastU-age are scant, a sn1aL
ration of grain should be fed
"Of the grains, corn Is generally recon-
mended as food; there Is no waste, as the deer
pick up every grain. Coarse hay full OF weeds
Is preferable 70 timothy or other tame hays, eX-
-ept alfalfa. Of clover hay, deer usually eat the
blossom heads greedily, but waste the other
where, and IN the northern half of the United
States shelter of some kind should De pro-
-ided"
One OF the Tezt-known deer and elk pre-
srves IN the eastern part OF the United States
that Of former Congressman Alexander Bill
meyer, IN Montour county, Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Billmeyer keeps deer and elk because
he loves the animals. His fOndness for the
creatures of forest and water Is natural result
of the experience and training OF his boyhood
days.
Both as boy and young man he wandered
through the woods with gun and rod and had
quite g reputation rs a sportsman As he has
grown older and accumulated wealth, he has
turned from Staying game TO preserving 1t, and
he enjoys the new pleasure possibly more than
he did the old

browse higher rs the two kirds of animals
get along well together the farmer recommends
the use of both for clearing Tn b6rUshy land and
fitting 1t for tame grasses.
The increase of elk under dOmestication
Is equal to that of cattle. Fully 90 per cent.
Of the females produce healthy young An
adult male elk weighs from 200 to 1000 pounds;
a female from 600 to 500 pounds.
The percentage of ,-ressed meat Is greater
than with cattle, but, owing to hostile game
laws, experience In marketing 1t Is very limited.
An offer of 20 cents a pound for dressed meat
was received from St. Louis. but the law would
not permit Its export" The Arkansas farmer
says:
From the that as high $50 per pound
has been paid for this meat in New York city and
Canada. and that the best hotels and restaurants
mails, are OF the opinion that If laws were such
that dCmeStiCated elk could be furnished it
would Be many years before the supply would make
the price reasonable compared with other meats
country at less cost pound than beef. mutton or
pork
The Virginia. or Whitehall deer is the com
mon deer of the United States, and Its adapta-
bihty to nearly all sections Of the country IS
acknowledged. The general experience of bree0-
ers, according to experts of the Agricultural
Depar 5ment. is that with suitable range, plenty
of good water and reasonable care IN winter
raising this deer for stocking preserves or for
venison may be made Profitable as any other
livestock industry.

A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL

Closely resembling the European fallow deer
in nature, and of about the same size. the Vir-
ginia deer is a beautiful animal Its color is
brown in summer and grayish brown in wihter;
the fawns are spotted with white. The body Of
the animal is from FIVE to FIVE and half feet
long, and it is three to three and a half feet
high, weighing from 120 to 200 pounds.
BY nature the deer is very timid; it flies
from man with great speed, darting through the
thickness of the forest almost rapidly as in
the open.
Running Wild Its food varies with the sea
son; n winter consisting of buds of various
shrubs, and IN spring and summer the tender
The Washington times., 1908-10-18

THERE is every reason why Uncle Sam,
the various states and individuals in the
states should take prompt steps to pre-
vent the threatened determination of
animals and birds.
Not only can the progress toward extermi-
uation be stopped, but it is believed that by
Ineans OF intelligent game propagatio-,, both by
states and by private enterprise, many of oul
depleted ranges can be restocked-
Investigations by government authorities
lead them to believe that when certain restric-
tions now imposed by s;ate laws are removed the
business of raising deer and elk for sale may be
made an important and highly profitable indus
try.
This. especially, because it viii be the means

OF using to advantage much land that otherwise
would be unproductive.
If venison could be put on the market at
something like the price - beef or mutton it is
believed 1t would find favor in many hoGseholds
1t IS now known principally as an article of hotel
ana club dining room menus
Wherever the flesh of deer has bee. obtain
able IN quantity it has been a staple article Of
diet, and 1t finds favor wherever used
The favor of venison is distinctive, suggest
ing mutton rather than bee{. By many K Is
hailed, In cold weather, with about the delight
that an epicure manifests in filing Wild duck
on his table rather than the domestic fowl.
1t is suggested to would be raisers that an
overproduction of venison is improbable. The
supply rarely meets the demand now; if p0pu-
larized and the supply enlarged, it IS believed
a profitable field of production Will be
opened

grasses and berries At times the deer makes
itself unpopular with farmer by raldlng young
wheat oats. pea patches and cornhelds-
Discussing the possibility Of dOmestsatlns
these animals and raising them for market, D.
partment of Agriculture experts have TINS 10
say:
'cNot only do deer thrive on land unsuited
for cattle or horses, but. like elk. they msy oH
raised to great advantage IN brushy or tlm0ered
pastures fully stocked with cattle or horses. as
the food OF deer rarely includes grasses
advocates Of the Angora goat industry
state that within the United States there are
25OOOO.OOO acres of land not suited to uiiage %
10 the pasture of horses, cattle or sheep which
are we'll adapted TO goats. Much OF this land -
suited also IN deer and elk, and can be utilized
for these animals with less injury 70 forest cover
than would result from IT'S browsing BY goats.
"The. propagation Of the Nirglnl~ deer mas
seldom been undertaken IN a systematic way.
The animals have often been bred IN parks tor
pleasure OF IN large preserves for sport. but ne
economic possibilities II raising them have re-
ceived little attention. Recently breeders have
recognized the fact that they are profitable un
der proper management and would be much more
so were conditions for marketing i've anlms4s
and venison more favorable.

burn or pain, that is proof enough that the kidneys need attention.
 Deans Kidney Pills have giyep strong, sound backs to thousandsA This remedy cures backaches and\ urinary troubles by removing the cause, by curing the kidneys.
 Seventy-five years ago Doan's Kid ney Pills were curing kidney troubles in settlement of Quaker farmers. Now the remedy is used in all the civilized world. It is praised abroad in many tongues. It Is recommended at home by people you know.
 WATERBURY TESTIMONY.
 Mrs Joseph Druan, Highland ay- enue. Waterbury, Conn.,, says: For years l was in misery as the result of kidney trouble. I had pains across the small of my back and in my kid- neys and in the morning when arose, was hardly able to begin the days duties. My feet and hands were often swollen and the doctors told me I had dropsy. When l saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, I procured q box at H. W. Lakes drug store. The first few doses relieved me and b. fore long I was cured.'

MILLIONS FOR BARRELS.
What It Costs to Supply the Coun-
 try's Demand,

Washington, Nov 30.-The farmer with his potatoes and his apples, the miller with his flour and meal, the hardware man with his nails, the ce- ment manufacturer, and the many other users of the faithful slack bar rel. that combination of slaves, hoops and heading, which is not intended to hold water or something stronger in fluid form, used forest products last year having the enormous value of $15,000,o00.
 The average man would little sus- pect that the humble barrel plays so important a part in the expense ac- counts of the American farmer and manufacturer, yet figures compiled by the census in cooperation with the United States Forest service de- velop this interesting truth. More over. statistics taken directly from reports from $50 cooperage mills in all parts of the United States show an increase of $1,569,6SS, or II per cent in the value of last years product over that of the previous year.
 In distinct contrast to tight cooper age stock, which in the main re- quires oak timber for its raw mater ial, slack cooperage stock, particu- larly slaves and heading, utilized in greater or less degree. most of the pia1 inn mt iy country, and for this reason its man. ufacture was far more widely dis tributed than is the case with that of tight cooperage stock. Twenty one species of wood contributed to the total slack stave production last year Nearly two-thirds of the out put, however. was manufactured from the four species. red gum, pine, elm, and beech, in the order named.
 The figures disclose an interesting movement in the industry in the sub stitution of less expensive woods for those which for many years were drawn upon most heavily for slack stave material, but which, owing to growing scarcity and advancing cost. are rapidly being displaced. In 1906 elm slaves were manufactured in larger quantities than those from any other wood, and constituted nearly one-fourth of the total production for that year. with pine and red gum occupying second and third places, respectively. Last year gum jump ed second, while elm. with falling of of 36 per cent in production, drop ped to third place. Beech, maple,

Few of us can afford to be idle, and to those who work a sound, strong back is a necessity. A bad back prevents rest or sleep, aud aches all day with dull, tired throb.
 Don't think because sharp twinges strike you when you lift, or twist about, or reach. that your work is too hard for you. Bad backs are common in every occupation. Those aches and twinges are only natures warning that the kidneys need help.
 It is easy to tell if the kidneys are sick, and are not thoroughly doing their work of Altering the blood. Backache is an early warning. Head ache, dizzy spells, puffy swellings un- der the eyes or in the ankles and legs. nervousness, irritability, rheumatic pain and tired feeling also tell of kidney ills.
 Examine the urine. If 1t is ex- tremely pale and light, the kidneys are not getting out all of that uric poison. If it is dark colored and thick. passages too frequent. or too scanty, if there is any sediment de- posted when it stands, if passages
