GAME SLAUGHTER IN FAR NORTH.
Much of It for the Mere Love of Killing

OF escaping, as there is no stretch of
more than 100 miles where the crack

every one it is case of doing his level
best to kill all he possibly can, even
though 80 per cent. goes to waste and
rots on the ground. The Indians are the
only men who regard the protection of
game as a necessity.

The struggle for and against the use
of tuberculin in the state of New York
for the suppression of bovine tubercu-
losis has developed the opinion from ex-
perts that the modern method of hous-
ing cattle is largely to blame for the un-
healthy condition of dairy herds. 1t is
said that the barns are too tight and too
warm for the maintenance of health in
the herds, which should be housed in cool
and airy structures. An expert states
that he recently visited farm where
the owner kept his stock in a tightly
closed barn without exercise for FIVE
months. Naturally the herd was badly
infected with tuberculosis.

THE PoRGY.
A Fish Held as Common by Many, but
Really Worthy of High Esteem.

The porgy,' said a man who knows
something about fish and fishing, SIS at
its best in these latitudes from about
May Is to about June 10. 1t is in that
period that we get the biggest porgies in
their hnest condition, and at its best the
porgy is very nice fish to eat.
There are people who consider the
p0rgy as sort OF common, ordinary fish,
but as a matter of fact it is a clean
feeder and it likes good things to eat.
1t feeds on young oysters and CLANS,
ana Oh young crabs and other small
erustaceans, and feeding ON such food its
own flesh is very agreeable TO the taste
And while the porgy is not a particular
iy graceful fish, it is when seen alive
anu swimming fish Of very pretty coli
orlng, pleasing to the eye.
AT one or another season the porgy
IS found all along our coast from Cape
Cod TO Florida. We get the first of
them here along in April. when they be-
GIN to come up from the south, and these
earlier fish are likely to appear first at
the eastern end of the sound though
they may come at the same time up the
Jersey coast. Later they come all along
the coast III greater numbers.
FISHERMEN catch porgies in set nets
in selnes drawn from the shore and in
purse nets in the open water. Formerly
porgies came in great numbers up into
a time. when the fishermen of Gravesend
bay. if the shad fishing had been poor,
would leave their nets down TO catch
porgies, but even If there was stiIl shad
fishing there thev wouldn't do that now
because there wouldn't be porgies enough
to pay.
fishing from New York wharyes. but not
many would be caught that way now
The increased traffic and the increased
pollution of the waters keep them away.
In various bays around New York
there are still caught with hook and line
many porgies, and there may be good
sport fishing for them in season, but the
porgies thus caught are likely to be
mostly small. In summer the big fell
lows don't like the shallower waters !:
they prefer TO stay off where the water
is deeper and cooler. You get good porgy
fishing, for instance, off around Block
island or in deeper waters down around
the Jersey coast
Though they are still q great market
fish it would be rather an unusual thing
now to find porgies on a restaurant bill
of fare. But there was a time when
the porgy was held in somewhat higher
esteem by connoisseurs when in certain
downtown old time famous restaurants
the borgy in its season was made some
thing of a speciality and when men went
to these places specially to eat it as it
was there prepared, and there are yet
for that matter in this part of the town
some old fashioned or at least old estab-
lished restaurants in which they still
serve the porgy in fine shape. New

THE GAME OF sKAr.

While the deyotees of skat are largely
to be found in the Germanic element Of
the population, ii Is steadily creeping into
favor with the general public. Manuals
of instruction are on the market and IN
structors IN the merry art are not far
TO seek. A modern game as compared
with whist, skat has nearly a century
behind it. Foster traces its history from
the Wendish game of schafkopf. which
was a fayorita With Thuringen farmers.
tAs the story goes, the game of schaf-
ciety in 1911. An enthusiastic card play
er who resided in Altenburg, and who
was member of the Tarok club. had
occasion to send his coachmau to a
small town in the Sachsischen ErZhirges
During the trip the coachman learned
the Wendish game from some of the
peasants along the road. Knowing his
masters prediction for card games. the
coachman explained schafkopf to him on
his return, and the master thought well
enough of it TO induce some of his friends
to give it a trial.
Many of the plays in skat are derived
from the ancient Italian game of tarok,
played in Germany as early as the Six-
teenth century, and its very name was
term employed in the older game. be-
ing derived from ''scartare," to discard,
and "scatola," a box. The name is still
spelled scat" in some German publica-
tons, and the word 'matadores" gives
further proof of its Italian lineage. Lit
tie probably remains of the game the
German coachman taught his master, for
the variations and alterations intro
duced have been many, and have not yet
ceased. The New York players are now
contending for the ratification of their
values on certain games, while the Skat
league and a compromise division pro-
pose the official endorsement of two 9TH
er values. A duplicate skat tournament
is talked of, and perhaps would GO far
toward settling these disputed points as,
obviously, luck is entirely eliminated
from such a contest Its complexities
once mastered, skat has one great advan-
tage over whist in being an excellent
game for three people, being probably the
best tri-cornered arrangement at cards
now known.-Roston TRANSCRIPT.
