Deputy Game Warden Adam Weirather
Appeals to Farmers Of Lee
County to Give Birds
Food.
WANTS GAME PROTECTED
Hardest Winter in Many Years is at
Hand, With Ground Covered
With Snow and Ice-To
Import Game.

Adam Weirather deputy game
warden of this district, asks the farm
ers to feed the quail and send their
bills to him to be Endorsed and
guarantees that all such claims will
be promptly paid by state. The IS
suing of this statement comes as the
result of meeting held at the county
court house last evening for the pur-
pose of taking such steps as would
be found necessary to afford protec-
ton in these birds during the winter
months. especially when the ground
is covered with snow and ice.
Should the ground continue to be
covered with snow and ice for two
weeks longer and farmers fail to
come to the rescue of the quail few
would be left in the state for hunters
to shoot at next season. This is the
opinion of local hunters and they urge
Immediate compliance with the re-
quest of the deputy game warden.
Never has such a winter been expert
enced for many years Often it has
been this cold but the ground has
not been covered for such long per-
iod with snow and ice. Quail find it
almost impossible to secure proper
food and thousands are dying through
Iowa, Illinois and Missouri daily.
1t is suggested that corn is the best
food for birds. It is more nourish-
ing then any other grain and con-
tains more warmth, which will stand

Kindly PoIyaamist.

The sleepy Lithuanian town OF
Minsk, Russia, has been harboring a
man who has married twenty women.
John Prizes twentieth wife had him
arrested the other day for "bigamy,"
but at the trial 1t developed that he
had committed polygamy With great
confidence the accused called some of
his wives to testify in his behalf, and
each one of them spoke highly of him.
In his defense Prizes testified: al
know there is some law about man
having only one wife, but, your honor,
/ know there are many more women
than men in Minsk and ! could not
bear to see so many fine women be-
come old maids" The judge dealt
mercifully with him, sentencing him
to only three months ia prison.

To Import New Game.
When Harry Barnmeier, the former
deputy game warden, recently visited
Burlington, he called the attention of
sportsmen to the Importance of intro
ducing the Chinese pheasant and Hun
garian partridge In Iowa.
Already several sportsmen of the
state have experimental along these
lines and it has been found that both
game birds can be raised in Iowa with
great success. In fact SO great has
been the success of the experiments
thus far tried that many sportsmen
are urging the state game warden to
try the plan. 1T has been suggested
that the state game warden ask the
executive council to grant permission
to use a portion of the fund created
from the sale of resident hunters
licenses for the building of breed
ing farm for Chinese pheasants and
Hungarian cartridges.
Those who have experimental with
the culture of these game birds have
found that it is necessary to set the
eggs under bantam hens, as the birds
themselves will not hatch their eggs.
1t is reported that one man near Cedar
Falls took two birds and from their
eggs has Matched, by the use of ban
tam hens, a flock Of sixty Chinese
phesants.
Those who are back OF the move
ment for a state breeding farm de-
clare that if such an institution is es-
tablished and the young birds proper
ly protected that it will be but few
years until Iowa becomes fine hunt
ing grouni for these birds.

Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Dec. 30.--Wheat--
Weather map shows seasonable con.
ditions. 1t seems to us the Price Cur
rent also strikes the key note of the
situation in the statement that holding
tendency among farmers is respon-
sible for the moderate offerings of
grain. In all probability this senti-
ment will be carried to the extreme
and the undoubtedly large crop of
wheat raised this year will wind up
with heavy surplus. For the mo-
ment the result of a December deal
will overshadow all other considera-
tions.
Corn-Weather conditions very
favorable for marketing and grading.
Railroad congestion is responsible for
the comparatively light receipts. A
heavier movement can be expected
whenever railroad conditions permit.
Eastern demand is still extremely
poor. The pit is the most profitable
low market local receivers find for
current arrivals and hedging sales OF
May to the extent of 100000 or AGO.
900 bushels are being made each day.
This hedging pressure will be seri-
GUS obstacle to any bull movement.
We believe May corn is sale on all
hard spots.
Oats A demand from short is like
ly to advance oat prices through the
rest of the week. December is still
selling for less than the cash article
and there is no reason why longs
should make any concessions. Shorts
will doubtless have to pay up. We
still strongly advise profit taking on
long oats. We feel friendly to them
on good breaks.
