LAW
AMENDED
No Change In Open seasons-must
Have License 20 Hunt Outside
Of Own County.

Special 10 the Eagle.
Austin. Texas. May 2s.-As indioat.
ed In yesterdays dispatches. the gov
ernor yesterday afternoon signed the
hutner's license bill. which amends
the game and FISH commissioners
law. which the amendment requires
residents of Texas. as we'll as non.
residents. to take out a hunting IL
cense TO hunt any Of the birds pro-
tected BY the laws Of this state. The
new law as Il now stands requires
citizens To pay a license OF si.15 TO
hunt outside the boundaries OF the
county in which he resides or votes.
or outside the boundaries OF any
county adjoining the county of bis
residence. This Law will be effective
August II. 1909 The new law also
exempts parties owning land or con.
trolling land from paying the license.
provided they hunt on this said land.
The game commissioner or any OF
his authorized deputies can issue
hunting licenses. also any county
clerk OF the state can issue licenses
to any one complying with the pro-
visions Of this act. County clerks
VIII receive a fee OF 25 cents on each
license they issue and pay the bal
ance over to the state treasury with.
in 30 days. All licenses are dated
when issued. and expire the LIST day
OF September following on each year.
The game warden In the several
different counties over the state ARE
vltally interested in this bill. as II
will provide some means for the pay
ment OF deputies, who have hereto
fore served without pay. II Is gener'
alyy conceded by the people that dur
ing the past two years, under the
new game law. the wild game OF Tex.
as has experienced a wonderful In
crease.
For the sake OF children and some
growns-ups who have never seen a
wild deer. the sacrifice OF sl.15 gun
tax is made TO enable field wardens
to be more active In the Discharge
OF their duties. seeing that every
poacher has a license; also TO pro
hibIt the wholesale slaughter Of game
birds. both in and out OF season.
Some OF the sportsmen over the
state fought the gun tax law of si.75
claiming that the sport could not az
ford to pay H. This Is said TO serve
good purpose. provided they desire
not to hunt. as II will be the means
Of keeping them on the field.

siDle.
IN the case of twins the ewes can
be put on a generous diet. and as far
as artificial food is concerned nothing
beats a mixture of beans or peas in
small quantities, malt dust. malt. good
linseed cake. rushed oats. dried
grains and bran, or, to save trouble, a
prepared lamb food which meets re-
QuirementS.
BY ~depasturing u old turf first
and following With the seeds an m
proVement is rapidly seen, as the ewes
milk better.
At weaving time keep is usually
scarce, n when weaned early the
lambs may be put on the best pastures
ana the ewes put into one field. After
math clOvers are sometimes available,
and cabbage, mustard or some other
green crop comes in conveniently.
The Young seeds come on after har-
vest, the lambs being removed at
night to the arabic lands.
The experience of breeders during
h past decade seems to point to
keeping the lambs from the period
OF weaving right through the autumn
on arabic lands, eating a variety of
green food, turnips and young %clovers,
and not on old pastures. where with
out doubt the larvae are picked up.
The arrangement of q succession of
foods is therefore necessary.
Dealing with the drafting Of the
flock, a regular system of drafting
at a certain age IS not SO easy as in a
commercial flock. The important
point is to prevent the flock from
degenerating into a lot of old ewes.
Should the young ewes be eNcep-
tionally good II by one or more ia
vOrite sires it would be polite to draft
from the breeding flock and dispose
of the young ewes in their entirety,
when they usually sell exceptionally
Well.
1t is best to select the shearling
ewes to fleece, and on no account
should the breeder be tempted to sell
his best ewes.
Dealing with show sheep, one of
the difficulties is to impress upon the
shepherd the fact that sheep grow and
thrive better on plenty Of green food
and good clover or sainfoin hay, with
a moderate allowance of grain, than
with grain ad libitum and a short
supply of natures own food.
