Fish News of Interest.
On today (Tuesday) there will be,
according to law, a great cessation in
the shooting of game, and for their
own benefit it is we'll that hunters
post themselves in this regard.
After March 18th and up to No
vember LIST it is unlawful for any
person to shoot, trap, kill ensnare,
net or destroy in any manner any
wild turkey, pheasant, partridge or
quail. Between today and July 18th
it is unlawful to do any of the
above named things to doves, marsh
hens or snipes. Summer duck or
woodcock are already under the ban,
because from February LIST to Sep
TENDER list it is unlawful to remove
these birds even from their nests, de-
strOy the eggs, or shoot or kill them
meaning birds and not the eggs.
Shooting deer at this time of the
year is among the most unlawful of
all acts, and this prohibition runs
from January LIST to September 1st.
One of the pleasing features of the
game law is that if you have in your
possession during the period of pro-
| hibition any bird or animal, or any
part thereof, whether dead or alive,
, that are protected you are also gull
ty of an unlawful act. Of course a
person can have pet deer, but do
not fool with wild deer.
Slaughter of Doves.
The slaughter of doves is con-
trolled in measure. For instance,
it becomes decidedly unlawful to
shoot, kill, ensnare or trap, whether
over baited ground or not, more than
| forty doves in one day. That is a
| liberal quantity for any one table,
but not enough to supply a market
Those whQlshoot, kill, ensnare and
| trap quail, dove, wild turkey or deer
| for the purpose of selling them, or
apply the same treatment to any 9TH
er game mentioned in the general
act, must apply to the county treas
urer for receipt for twenty-five
dollars for the privilege, and exhibit
! this to the Judge of the Court of Or
| binary. Then the court will issue a
! perfectly legal license and it shall be
| good for year. At the time of reg
istration with the Ordinary for this
purpose you Misses give your Essese7
place of residence and general de-
scription of yourself The license is
sued in one county is not good for
any other one.
J Bullbats or night hawks must not
be shot, trapped or killed at any
time. Violations of these provisions
are punishable as for misdemanor.
| Not Ont of State.
Among the many unlawful things
you must not do in regard to game
| is for any person, firm or corpora
ton to export, ship or carry beyond
the limits of the state any partridge
or quail at any season of the year.
This prohibits the eating of par
tridges and quail at sea.
Although the fish law is connected
with. the game. law it is not fear
ly so exciting. In the first place, be-
sides being very ungrateful, it is de-
cidedly illegal for any person to put
walnut leaves, walnut bulls and devil
shoe strings in any waters, which
will be likely to. drive away or poison
what fish may be in the said waters.
What real mean thing it is to throw
devil shoe strings in the f1shy waters.
Walnut leaves are apt to change the
color of the fish, and no one wants
walnutty fish.
