LJNCLE JIM WILSON, of the depart
~ ment OF agriculture, hopes to put
venison, that luxury of the rich, on
the table of every citizen in our coun-
try, and at a less cost than that of beef.
He aims to accomplish this by CON
vincing farmers that they can raise
small herds of deer or elk or antelope
on land that is at present absolutely
valueless and with practically no
attention after the start is once
made.
In many parts of the country there
are tracts of land which can be more
profitably used for raising venison
than any other purpose.
The propagation of game is as legiti-
mate business as the growing of beef
or mutton, and, according to the de-
partment, the producer should be per
mitted under reasonable regulation, to
dispose of his product at any time,
either for breeding purposes or for
food This some of the state laws
now prohibit.

Uncle Sam Would Have Us Eat Venison

The flesh of young antelope is said
to be much superior to ordinary veni-
son. That of mature animals, particu-
larly the males, has a strong flavor;
but this may be greatly improved by
domestication. A full grown prong
horn weighs from 100 to 125 pounds,
and will dress from Go to 80 pounds.
The deer family stands next to the
cattle and sheep family in general util-
ity. The flesh is a valuable food. Ven
ison was more common than beef on
the tables of medieval Europe and was
the flesh most commonly eaten by
early settlers and frontiersmen in
North America. It's dietetic value is
enhanced by the fact that 1t is espe-
cially adapted to invalids who re-
quire a nourishing, yet easily digested
food

claims of attention, is fast disappear
ing from the earth, with scarcely an

sion is put in with respect to the inves-
tigation of the proposed canal connect

BY the terms of the new rivers and

sion is to have two years from the
4th of March in which to investigate
these projects. In making the investi-
cations the commission is authorized
to call upon the engineer corps of the
army to furnish data.
Nearly every observer with large
range of vision is convinced that soon
er or later, n canal connecting Lake
Erie with the lower end of Lake
Michigan will be built, and that a
canal will eventually connect Lake
Erie or Lake Michigan with the Ohio
river. Persons who have devoted some
study to this subject of artificial water
ways are disposed to believe that
when the country is ready for canal
connecting the Ohio river with one
of the great lakes the demand will be
for a canal extending from Lake Mich

PROTEST ABOUT
ELKTON STATION

Superintendent A. J. Whitney, OF the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton Railroad Company, has received a
letter from the Town Council of Elk
ton, Md, containing a vigorous pro-
test against the running Of mile-a-
minutes trains through that place so
long as the old station stands in a
position to cut Off all sight Of ap-
preaching flyers"
In their protest the Councilmen of
the Cecil county town declare the old
depot to be menace TO the lives of
people owing to its being located but
few feet from the tracks and near
a curve which hides approaching ex-
presses from sight until they are al
most on top of the station The
protest is the direct result of an ac-
cident which recently caused the
death of James II. Wharton. Mr..
Wharton while standing near the old
station was run down by a fast train
which he could neither see nor hear,
Just in front of the railroad companys

about the protest this afternoon, said
the communication would be given
proper consideration.
