Hunting Season in New Hampshire.

The open season on hunting of game
birds in New Hampshire began yester-
day, Oct. l, and hunters are anticipat-
ing better season than a year AGO,
when there was very unusual scarcity
of cartridges. This fact was probably
due to the cold, wet weather during the
Matching season. This year there
should be many more cartridges, as
nearly every flock of young birds is of
good size. However, there will not be
nearly as many as there were two
years ago. Woodcock appear to be
quite numerous and for a couple of
weeks they will consume the attention
of bird hunters. Woodcock are flight
birds and generally they have started
south by the time the season opens in
New Hampshire. For this reason local
sportsmen do. not have much chance
with the native birds and woodcock
hunting is confined to the flight birds
from the country farther north. The
birds will not start south until cold
weather drives them along and this
year hunters hope to bag them in their
native covers. Gray squirrels are very
numerous, but they are protected by
law passed at the last session of the
Legislature until 1913. The first two
weeks in December deer will again be
at the mercy of hunters in Cheshire
county. LdSt year was IHe HIst yedi
deer hunting was allowed in Cheshire
county and then it was required that
only shotguns be used. A good many
deer were killed and probably greater
number were injured, many of them
fatally. The deer have not decreased
materially in numbers, but for humane
reasons the law will undoubtedly be
changed at the next session Of the Leg
isture, either protecting them perman
emily or allowing the use of rifles in
their destruction. The animals are a
great menace to farmers as they are
fond Of beg garden
ent in their visits to gardens that to
drive them away is but temporary |
relief. After trying several methods |
to get rid of herd this summer Hins-
dale farmer shot them with small shot,
the result being very satisfactory.

A Household Necessity.

If you live anywhere in New England
there is one publication that should be il
your home every day. There is no Other
paper in Boston or New England that
compares with the Boston Daily and Sun
day Globe. Fathers like it, mothers like
it, children like it.
No other medium gives the educational
matter that is contained in the Boston
Globe. The series of Famous Gems of
Prose that are now running in the Globe
are alone worth the price of the paper
This collection of the best of oratory
and literature that the world has pro-
duced should be cut out and kept in a
scrap book in every home.
In no other paper is there a household
page that compares with the one run by
the practical housekeepers of New Eng
land in the Boston Daily and Sunday
Globe. A careful perusal of this page in
the Globe every day is of the greatest
help to women in keeping their house
hold expenses down and setting table
that will please all the members of the
family
In addition to its many features the
Globe has the best equipped force in New
England, over 1000 men being employed
daily in the publication of the Daily and
Sunday editions. You get the results of
their labors in the Daily and Sunday
Globe also special features, which cost in
the course of the year thousands of dol
lars.

1t is not generally known that lum-
Der of all commodities has dropped
most in the recent panic. Nor is it
known that as a result, just now is the
best time to build. This is so from the
fact that as soon as business resumes
its normal proportion prices will go
soaring again. And our forest fires of
this summer will not help to keep prices
down this coming winter and spring.

Realizing the hopelessness of trying
to win their consent, the Duke an

reluctantly consented. The change
