What Gunners Must Do.

Next Fall, when the farmer wants
to kill the rabbit that has summered
in the rail pile, and nibbled in the
garden he must first go to the clerk
of the county, city, borough, town,
township or village and take out Ii
cense, for which $1.15 must be paid
II any citizen does go hunting, even
on his or her own premises, without
first taking out such license, he or
she will be liable to penalty of $40
for, each offense.
Ii in taking out license, the farmer
gives false information, or after get
ting It loans 1T to his son, or friend,
for a days shooting, he shall be liable
to penalty of S100 and his license
be revoked. And these licenses must
be taken out every year
The State is counting on big revenue
from these licenses, to support game
wardens, game clerks, etc, and here
is the way they figure it:
There are $4,000 farmers in New
Jersey, and practically every one has
his gun. If one-half the number take
out gunners' licenses the net result to
the State will be $4,000. But it is
probable that $4,000 who do not own
farms are possessed of guns, and
this should net $4,000 more at low
estimate.
So the farmers are to raise and pro-
tect the game all summer, feed it dur
ing deep SHOWS in the winter, and pa y
big salaries to lot of theorists.
The above statements of the pro-
visions of this law were taken from
State paper. Since being placed in
type we learn that an owner of land
may shoot thereon without a license;
that the law takes effect July 1st.

Information Wanted.

Pitman, N. j., April 26, '09.
Ed. Gloucester County Democrat,
Dear Sir: Can you, or anybody tell
us what the game laws of the State
of New Jersey are? We have read
and reread the papers, but cannot for
our lives tell anything about them.
There seems to be a great howl with
farmers in our vicinity. First is the
license fee. The farmer raises the
game, protects it, will move the nests
from place to place in his field to
keep it from being destroyed; feeds
it. What, or who for? Then the So
ciety called the Game Protective So
ciety, has laws made SO we shall not
kill that game only at such times as
they shall see fit. Who is the game
protector, the farmer or the society ?
The Legislature tells us, through
this so-called protective society, we
shall kill only from October fifteenth
(15), to November fifteenth (15),
when all farmers are most busy of all
the year gathering their crops. The
game at this time of the year is not
fit for consumption; any health board
would condemn it.
Mr. Editor, we woud like to hear
from some of your subscribers.

care of his fathers and some other
large estates. He occupied his faith
er's Offices on South Broad street and
resided with his brother Robert and
three sisters in the homestead at So
Broad and Hunter streets.
He was a man of high character,
genial in disposition and popular not
only in his profession but with all
classes. He never held public office
or mingled much in public affairs, but

BAN ON THRASHING DINNERS
Farmers Wives Revolt Against Custom
of Feeding Machine Hands.

Farmers Wives Revolt Against Custom
Of Feeding Machine Hands.
Wives of farmers of centra! Indiana
have rebelled against the practice of
making big dinners for thrashing
hands. and the owners of machines
that go from farm to farm thrashing
wheat will have to provide dinners for
their men, says an indianapolis dis
patch.
The wives of the farmers organized
against the big dinner attachment on
thraShing days, and when thrasher
owners came around to make contracts
and were Informed of the women's
edict many of them refused to make
contracts. saying they had no way to
provide dinners for the men.
All the farmers in some counties
have formed thrashing companies
among themselves and have agreed
that every man must provide himself
with dinner. The organization is
spreading. and the big dinner at
thrashing time is to be thing of the
past.
