GIVE THE DUCKS A CHANCE
Alarming Decrease of These WilS
Birds, in New England
Especially.

Since the white man settled in New
England he has exterminated, so far
as that territory is concerned, five
.species of birdsS formerly found
there. These are the wild pigeon,
wild turkey, pinnated grouse, sand
hin crane and great aux. If the
hunters of Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island are not restrained by law, the
edible pond and river ducks will be
added to those extinct species-at
least, that is the prediction of Ed
ward Howe Forbush of the National
Association Of Audubon Societies.
The shooting of these game birds
in spring, which is permitted in the
two states mentioned, is chiefly re-
.sponsib,e for their alarming decrease
in number, though Mr.. Forbush
would also prohibit killing them in
January and February. The neigh
boring states and the Canadian pro-
vinces have laws forbidding spring
shooting, which operate to the ad-
vantage of the gunners of the states
which have, not passed such prOtec-
tive measures. Wild fowl formerly
bred In great numbers near the
streams. ponds and marshes of New
England, and would, undoubtedly,
do so now If they were protected.
Even in a country so thickly settled
as England, many thousands of wild
ducks are still to be found in the fens
and marshes. 4 bill has been intro
duced in the Massachusetts, legisla-
ture forbiddng the killing of ducks
from Dec. 81 to Sept. 1. Some sports
men say that the proposed closed
season is unduly long, hut there can
be no serious question of the advisa-
bility of preventing the shooting of
the birds in the pairing season. SEN
timent aside, common business pru-
dence should induce the lawmakers
to enact a law which Will preserve
so valuable an asset as its game birds
to the commonwealth.-Leslie's
Weekly.

CONFERENCE
OF METHODISTS CONCLUDES ITS
SESSIONS AT BALTIMORE.
Change i'm Discipline Goes Into Effect
June 4. t0O9-Other ReguIa-
tons Adopted.

Baltimore, June AT the con-
Guiding session of the Methodist con-
ference il was resolved that changes
in discipline and course of study shall
go into effect June I, 1909.
The judiciary committee recon-
mcnded that when charges of i'm
moral conduct may be made against
a missionary bishop between meet
ings of the general conference, the
board of foreign missions shall APP
point a committee to investigate the
charges and report fully thereupon to
the next general conference and that
when the charges are sustained the
committee may suspend the accused
until the next meeting of the general
conference.
Under the new rule adopted per-
sons may be received into the church
as soon as they are recommended by
the official board or by class approval
OF the pastor.
While doing away with the old
method, IL also allows for a period OF
probation of any length that may be
deemed necessary.
Among the important matters that
failed of final action were the amuse-
ment question and the matter of q
time limit on pastorates. Neither
was permitted to come before the
conference for discussion, hence the
much talked of paragraph 24S stands
as it was. stands without elimination
of dancing and other words suggested
in the Episcopal address, aud pas
tors may be returned TO their charges
year after year, as has In recent years
been customary.

A bismarck story,

The following story OF Bismarck
may be new to some readers, says
an exchange. He was out shooting
with friend when the latter slipped
into a bog and cried for help.
I'm afraid l cannot help you I'M
less l also die" said Bismarck, land
that would be no advantage to either
of us. But rather than see you suf-
fer lingering death / will shoot you
for love of heaven, or l may miss
you"
With this he raised his gun to his
shoulder and took steady aim. The
sinking man was so Mortified that he
made one sudden and terrific effort
and was free.
There you are, my boy," said
Bismarck. you see you could get out
alone. To have attempted your
rescue would have meant suicide for
me-"

tired of his job, so he resolved TO go

Master during the other months of
the year also, and beg to be released,
so that he could seek Fresh Fields

and his Courtiers saw him approach

Jestor went straight to the Throne
and sank upon one knee.
"Sre," he said, "for many years

"He faln would restl" repeated
the Monarch, his sides shaking with
mirth.
"Sire, | have a family in far
away Province"
"Ho ho!" laughed the King. "Ha

"And / beg of your majesty per-

said the King.
"To let me go and see them" fin
ished the Jestor.
The King was wiping his eyes,
which were full Of tears of merri-

Attendants surrounded the Jestor
and forced him kindly but firmly
from the Royal Presence.
And he is still the Kings Jestor.

Worse Than He Thought

A fine robust soldier. an Irishman,
after serving Uncle Sam for some
time became greatly reduced in
weight, owing to exposure and scanty
rations, until he was so weak he
could hardly stand. Consequently
he got leave of absence to go home
and recuperate.
He arrived at his home station
looking very much of a wreck. Just
as he stepped of the train one of his
old friends rushed up to him and
said, "Well, well, Pat, I'm glad to
see you're back from the front"
"Begorra, know was gettin'
thin, but / nivver thought that you
could see that much" said Pat

IMPROVE FARMS
ROCKEFELLER HAS HIS AGENTS
URGING CULTIVATION.
Diycrsification of Crops Figured ON to
Bring Prosperity To the South
From the Ground Up.

New York, June Reports were
submitted at a recent meeting of the
general education board which reveal
ed class and quantity of work being
done in the south under the direction
of the board. with the almost unlimit-
ed means which John d. Rockefeller
has placed at its disposal, almost
wholly unsupported by the public.
Few persons know that while the
board recently appropriated 100000
to pay college professors in the south
TO stir up interest in education and
aid in the establishment of high
schools. at the same time il sppro-
priated $4,000 to pay the salaries
and travelling expenses of agents to
teach farmers of the southern states
how to farm.
This Is our plan" said DR.. Wal
lace Buttrick, secretary of the board.
We found that It didn't do much good
to go into a community which was
barely able to make enough to live on
and tell the people they ought TO tax
themselves to raise money for better
schools. They were simply unable to
DO so. and it was wasting time to try
to make them do II. We saw that IL
was necessary first to make that com
munlty prosperous, to put money in
the hands of the farmers and all the
other things would follow.
Teaching the Farmer.
Here is the first thing we did in
the way of studying the problem. We
found that to aid the south we must
aid the country people. for eighty-fve
per cent. of the southern people live
in the country. We selected a middle
western state which was largely agri-
cultural-Iowa. / believe-and calcu-
lated the average yearly earnings of
man on the farm. We found that it
was about $1,000.
I'm some of the southern states il
was but $50. why was this? The
southern people have splendid soil,
none better; they have splendid sea-
sons, none better; they have an ideal
climate, perhaps the best agricultural
climate in the world; their staple
crops, tobacco. and cotton. find mar
kets in every quarter of the globe. 1t
was plain that the trouble was with
the manner of farming.
1--WE saw what the department of
agriculture did for the southern cot
ton grower in the way of education.
BY teaching the planter to pillow in the
fall and get his crop in early In the
spring so that a good growth was OBJ
tanned before the appearance of the
boil weevil, this pest became practic-
ally harmless.
"ln year or two the planters yield
had increased 90 10 30 per cent. be-
cause of the superior manner which
the government experts had taught
him to cultivate his crop.
1--WE are now conducting, accord
ing to reports just submitted by Dr..
S. A. Knapp, the director, 1876
demonstration farms in the south.
They are in Mississippi. Alabama
Georgia. North Carolina. South Caro-
lima and Virginia. In these states
are II agents and colaborators who
are paid by the general educator
board.

While these drains upon the
forest are known with reasonable
certainty, there are others OF which
there is no record. These are the
demand for posts, fuel, and domes-
tic purposes, regarding which it is
more difficult to obtain information
because the products often pass
through no market, but are con-
sumed on the farm where they
were produced. Careful estimates,
however, place the total OF wood
used for fuel alone at an equiva-
lent of so billion board feet a
year.
1t will be seen, then, that the
present consumption of wood in
all forms above 100 billion board
feet annually. Estimating the
forest area of the United States al
from 500 to 700 million acres, and
the annual growth of 60 board feet
per acre, the yearly increase is
from 80 to AZ billion feet. At that
rate, the annual growth barely
EQUALS the the amount consumed
for lumber alone. Considering all
the drains, the annual consumption
of wood is probably three times
the annual growth.

WARD SIX.
Leap Year a Necessity.

The year 1904 was a leap year;
1900 was not, 1000 will be one.
The years ending in two ciphers
are called centennial years. Only
those centennial years Invisible by
four are leap years. 1t takes the
earth a fraction more than 375
days to go around the sun. This
fraction does not quite amount to
six hours, but it was SO near it that
one day was added to every fourth
year in the calendar. This addl-
ton, however, in 400 years amounts
to three days, SO that every 4OO
wears three of what would other
wise be leap years, have to be de.
prived of that privilege. For con-
yenience the three centennial years
named are selected for that pur-
uose.-Ex.
