The birth rate in most civilized
countries has decreased in recent
years. This decrease has been more
pronounced in some countries than
in others, that of France being so
great as to exceed the death rate.
The last two years. however, have
witnessed a change for the better,
for in 1907 the births exceeded the
death by 10000. and last year by
10000. That is a fact that will go
far to reassure those who feared
that France was among the decadent
nations.

TO which Wesley replied: II always
do" And he did. We commend Wes-
Iey's action to the white boys.

much money from skunk oil and skins.
But skunks are getting scare, and this
has led him TO believe that he can
make more money in raising them
than in hunting.
Experiments which he has made
convince him that they can be sue
cessfully and p~roftably raised, and
he is now arranging to go into the
business on a big scale.
He is going TO fence in five acres
with fine meshed screening, which will
be sunk in the ground three feet and
which will be six feet high.
Baker figures to raise about 1000
skunks every year, and he has con-
tracted for machinery to extract the
oil. This is almost as valuable as the
skins, which average about 81 each.
Neighbors fear the odor from the
skunk farm will make life ~unbearable
in that vicinity, and wish to prevent
Baker from going into the business.
