Boston Sportsnren Interested In Project

Boston Sportsmen Interested In Projee,
For Protecting All Game cires.
The interest Of thousands Of sport
lovers ell over tEc Unitcd States is now
centred in an enterprise backed by
several Boston sportsmen to establish
a national Sanctuary" for the propaga-
ton, breeding and protection of mill
ions Of game birds Of different species
upon Cat Island, an immense tract Of
low land lying off the coast of Louisiana
in the Gulf Of Mexico.
The movement is headed by William
Brewster president Of the Massachusetts,
Audubon Society, John e. Thayer and
other prominent Bostonians interested
In game protection, who propose to
purchase the island, and they have
already expressed their willingness
to raise the $4,000 needed a. the pur-
chase price.
The plan was brought to the attention
OF the present hackers by 81. K. Job, q
well-known New England ornithologist,
who recently paid visit to the island to
take photographs Of the birds there and
to study the islands merits az a breed.
ing and gathering place for the migra-
tory game of the country.
Mr.. Jobs glowin9 reports Of the thou.
sands Of birds Of all kinds that he found
there, the tameness Of the Cat Island
Seathered tribes and the natural features
Of the place for the successful propaga-
ton Of birds were made the basis for
the present Boston movement to acquire
the island.
Il believe the creation of this island,
remote from the mainland and now the
home Of both migratory and breeding
birds, into a great sanctuary for our
game birds is one Of the most excellent
measures than can and undoubtedly
will enlist the interest of sportsmen
everywhere" declares Mr.. Brewster.
"The island itself, a low, level, we'll
timbered place in the Gulf of Mexico, is
one OF the most remarkable congre-
eating places for both breeding and
migratory birds in the United States.
1T is safe to say that millions of these
creatures either make their nests there
or else spend several weeks of each year
on the island during their flights north
and south.
AThe object of the purchase of the
island is to render the birds going there
safe at all seasons from everybody.
we know that when birds find
such a place they will continue to go
there in increased numbers, and they also
tend to spread out from such localities. 4"
The purchase of Cat Island is declared
to be an initial movement is establishing
a chain of such "bird sanctuaries" which
will serve as protective spots against the
humiliation of all classes of flying game
now subject to the dangers of the open
seasons during their migratory flights.

FIG. AXV11-THERE IS NO OOD BETTER
THAN MILF FOR YOUNG ANIMALS.
In winter, when pasture is not availa-
bic, hogs will eat considerable amounts
of clover or alfalfa hay if they can
get it and will be healthier and make
better gains for having it.
Another important quality in a feed
stuff is its palatability. Stock will
make greater gains on feeds that they
like, even though they contain no
more nutritive material than those
that are no so palatable. Closely re-
lated to palatability is succulen.a or
juciness. Cows give a large flow of
milk on pasture not so much because
of it's high feeding value, but because
OF its %succulence and palatability.
Stock Of any kind will not make the
best use Of their feed If given moth
ing but dry hay and grain.
III most satisfactory means Of pro-
v1ding %succulent and palatable feed
during the winter is by the use Of the
silo. Snage has a high feeding value
n is cheap, since from eight to
twelve tons al be raised on an acre.
1t finds its greatest use as a feed for
dairy cows, but also makes a profita-
BILE addition to the ration of nearly
all classes Of stock.
The most important point to consid-
er in preparing a ration is the rela-
tive proportion of the different con-
s~tituents. Fats and carbohydrates
are interchangeable and can be con-
sidered together, since they both 60
to furnish heat and energy or to build
up animal fat. Neither Of these sub
stances, however, can take the place
OF protein. since neither of them con-
ta1ns nitrogen. To build up the mus
Giles, organs and other parts of the
body which require this element con-
siderable protein must be fed. The
ordinary feeds found on the farm
contain too little protein in proportion
to the other substances. To secure
h best results a balanced ration
that is, n in which the amount of
protein is in the proper proportion to
the amounts Of fats and carbohy.
drates-must be fed.
It a readily be seen that what Il a

may not be for another. Young calves.
colts and pigs require more protein
and ash in their food than do mature
animals. A work horse needs large
amounts Of fat and carbohydrates to
supply him with energy, but he also
needs considerable protein to repair
his muscles, which wear out very
rapidly. A fattening steer needs only
a minimum amount Of protein, ,since
be is neither growing nor using his
muscles. A milk cow needs a great
deal of protein and ash to use in max
ing milk, together with a liberal
amount Of the other constituents, to
supply energy and to make into but
ter fat. A pregnant animal is in espe-
cial need Of protein and ash to use in
building up the bones and flesh of its
offspring. All animals need larger
quantities Of the heat forming ele-
ments in the winter in order to keep
the body warm.
Another oOrtant point. one that
must not be lost sight of in preparing
rations for any class of stock, is the
cost. 1t makes no difference how d.

ration may be nor how rapid gains II
viii produce, II those gains are put or
at too great IN expense the feedina
operations win result in a loss. For the
last two years, for Instance, bran and
shorts have been so high In price that
1t is doubtful IL they could be fed al
q profit. Bran produces a large milk
now when fed to COWS, but silase and
clover hay are just az good and cost
only a fraction as much.
The question Of how much a farmer
can afford to spend for concentrated
~byproducts Is always a perplexing
one. Something is needed to balance
the corn, which is the principal feed
on most farms. II nothing else 10 fed
with corn It win not be thoroughly
digested and much of the nutriment
which It contains will be wasted.
When corn is cheap this does not mat.
ter 30 much, but when the price goes
up to 80 or 60 cents a bushel It be-
comes an important consideration.
This applies not only to corn, but to
other grains as well, since all contain
an excess Of carbohydrates and fat.
Oats come the nearest to being a bal
anced ration Of any farm grain. but
they are usually too expensive to be
fed exclusively. Mixing oats with corn
does not make a balanced ration, since
The oats have scarcely enough protein
to balance their own carbohydrates
and fats. Another factor which must
be taken into consideration is the
health of the animals. This will surely
suffer If they are compelled to live
long on a single kind Of feed, especial
~ n that is as low in protein as corn
is,
When grain is high in price the saw
ing effected by the purchase of some
supplementary feed rich in protein
will usually much more than pay the
cost. In buying feed to balance corn
or other grain the chief consideration
should be the amount of digestible
protein which it contains. Ash is also
important, especially If it is to be fed
with corn, which is low in ash. BY
dividing the price per ton of a feed by
the number of pounds of digestible
protein in a ton the price per pound
Of protein is easily determined. Thus
the comparative cost Of protein in the
different byproducts can be figured
out and the M used which will fur
nish it in the cheapest form.
For hogs there is probably no better
or cheaper source Of protein than tank
age or meat meal. A ration Of n
part Of this to ten parts Of corn is an
ideal one for fattening hogs. For
growing pigs the amount Of tankage
should be doubled and some skimmilk
added If it can be obtained. Milk is
an almost perfect food for all young
stock. and the farmer who has a large
supply of it has a big part of his feed
ing problem solved.
Another feed that is Invaluable for
young pigs and calves is dried blood
or blood flour. Nothing else will stop
so quickly nor do SO much to-
ward starting along an unthrifty pig
or calf. A heaping te%aspoonful to a
feed is enough for a young calf, with
proportionate amounts for the pigs.
The reason that these packing house
byproducts are especially valuable for
young animals is because of the large
amount of ash which they contain.
The use of such feeds insures strong
bones and healthy, vigorous animals.

ROBBED DURING HIS
SLEEP BY MAN WHOM
HE HAD BEFRIENDED
CARRIES MONEY IN WALLET
STRAPPED TO HIS LEG
Real Estate Operator Victimized by
Man He Had Brought at His
Own Expense to City
from Virginia

w. S. Stuart, a wealthy real estate
operator, having extensive interests in
Virginia, is a victim Of misplaced con-
fdence. The man whom Stuart had
brought across the country from Vir-
ginia to Los Angeles rewarded his
benefactor by stealing $1170 while the
latter slept Friday night. Stuart ap-
peared at the police station yesterday
morning and told his story. Deputy
District Attorney Paul Mccormick is
sued warrant charging Louis Ross
with grand larceny, and the latter is
now being sought by the police.
Stuart became acquainted with Ross
back In Virginia a short time ago.
Ross was without funds, but impressed
Stuart favorably, and the latter paid
his expenses to California. There Stu
art contemplated opening a real estate
office and employing Ross to assist
him.
Friday afternoon the two men strolled
about the city seeing the sights, and
after visiting theater retired to their
room at The Palms rooning house, near
the Arcade station.
Friday being holiday and the banks
being closed, Stuart was unable to
deposit his money. He placed the
money in a wallet, and when he went
to bed strapped the package about his
leg, just below the knee. When he
awoke yesterday morning Ross had dis
appeared and with him the money.
Stuart gave the police a good de-
scription of his ungrateful friend.

Bad Breath and
Sour Stomach
Stopped at Once with Pure Willow
Charcoal, the Greatest Gas
AbsOrber Known

There is no necessity to suffer the
humiliation, chagrin and discomfort of
bad breath, biliousness sour stomach,
gastritis, sluggish liver, ETC., when a
little loZenge of charcoal will cleanse
the stomach and make it pure and
sweet.
Do not drug yourself when simple
little natural charcoal made from fra
grant willow branches, sweetened with
honey, will add tone to your stomach,
liver and intestines, rapidly absorb
gases and stop foul odors of all kinds.
Charcoal will absorb one hundred
times its own volume in gas. A box
full Of charcoal placed in a bedroom
will keep the air of such a room pure
and sweet.
A little charcoal lozenge dissolved on
the tongue after meals will also keep
the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal
is justly called the scrubbing brush for
the stomach. The old monks of medic
val times cured bad cases of stomach
trouble, cast out devils from the sys-
tenn of man by feeding such a man
charcoal.
Scientific men of today believe in the
great strength of charcoal for the cure
of human ills. Too much of it cannot
harm one. The system Graves it just
like an animal needs and Graves salt
every SO often. Charcoal goes into the
stomach gently and is welcome, it set
ties down through the action Of the
stomach, and filters through all the
food, absorbing gas, aiding digestion
and giving tone to the juices, so that
when the food goes into the intestines,
and there meets other digestive fluids
the charcoal holds the impurities and
thus keeps them from the blood
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made
from pure willow. They are prepared
fragrant by the use of honey and
sweetened so they please the taste and
are easily dissolved.
They have an enormous sale, thus
stamping them with the approval of
the public. Every druggist sells them,
25 cents per box. Go to your druggist
today and buy a box; then after your
next meal take two or three Of them
and judge for yourself Of their merit.
Several taken at bed time will prove
to you in the morning that they have
been at work all night, for your bad
breath viii not be SO bad after all.
