HUNTING SEASON
 FOR UPLAND GAME
Game Warden Smith Issues Warning
 Against Killing Non Game Birds.
CHANGES IN GAME LAWS

Game Warden Wilbur F. Smith has made statement to the Farmer, rel at1ve to hunting and the game laws, as follows: "The Hunting season opens tomorrow and it is we'll to call atten- t1on once more to the salient features of the non- game bird laws. Briefly, no person shall catch, kill, or have in his possession any wild bird other than a game bird, except the crow, English sparrow, horned owl, and the hawks, except the fish hawk or osprey. It will be seen at once that this protects all song birds, the small owls, herons, quawks, gulls, etc.
 Already several acts of useless kill ing have been reported from which the perpetrators escaped. One man was seen to kill great blue heron spread ing nearly six feet, pick it up and toss it aside-to decay on the marsh, and depriving number of persons of the pleasure they had in watching him feeding along the shore. A flock of hite-bel1ied swallows was circling about one of the beaches feeding on insects, and another man shot into the flock, leaving a swallow with broken wing on the sand, beside the empty shell from his gun; and a small green heron was found in another place which had met a similar fate.
 True sportsmen deplore such use less and wanton killing and should make their displeasure felt when cases
 
 parents who allow their boys Cone of fifteen was hunting the Stratford marsh Saturday, to hunt, should be careful to explain to them what they can and cannot kill"
 The following changes in the game law should be noted:
 Only quail may be killed in one day; 36 in one year.
 Close season for wood duck for 10 years.
 ' PaIhits nav ha taken hv dog giln and ferret from Oct. to Dec. 1 and with dog and ferret without gun from Dec. 1 to Jan. IS.
 Close season for Hungarian par fridge till Oct 1, 1910. Hunters are cautioned that they must be careful and not kill any of these birds this year. Anyone having any Hungar- ian partridge in his possession is 1i- able to arrest. A mounted bird is in D. D. Smiths cigar store window, Fairfield avenue.
 All hunters licenses taken out this fear expire on Jan l. 1910.
