JOB ON BIRDS
State OrnithoIogist Pleads for Com

State OrnithoIogist Pleads for Com
 mon Sense Hunting.
 H. K. Job, state ornithologist, writes : It is now May, one of the very hest months for hunting in the whole wear. The old cock partridge is drumming from his log in the woods. It is more of sporting stunt to creep up and watch him in the act than to bag in the fall, and even more yet to photograph him. The quail are whistling and mating ; who can trace them to their nest at the edge of the pasture a little later? The male woodcock has been going through his mating antics near the nest, and ill the evening twilight performing his strange circling and twittered song witness this performance, and to find on her nest in the swamp. the bird that matches so wonderfully with the dead leaves that It takes the sharpest of eyes ducks have eggs now: have you dis covered their secret, and learned how the later gets it's brood down from the hollow limb of the tall tree?
 Birds that are not in the "game" class are exactly as interesting to the outdoor man of broadened mind. The hawks and owls now have eggs or young in secluded woodland haunts are your woodcraft and physical energy adequate to searching them out. after miles of tran,ping and the climbing of hills and tall trees? The wonderful migratory movement of the birds is at its height can you in Il days tramp, with field glass ill hand, and note book in the pocket, ferret out and identify the forty, sixty, eighty species of birds, and re- | cognize them by their notes and songs Warbler gems. of thirty odd species will in few days be fitting and singing through the blossoms and tender foliage: how many of them do you know? By June host of birds will be nesting, af- fording wonderful opportunities with the camera. To patiently trace out the carefully hidden home of some rare warbler. and outwit the little dodger with the camera is far more of triumph more real fun and sport than to creep on a Hook of ducks with a gun.
 We are face to face with the practical extermination of most of our upland game-birds, shore birds, and various waterfowl, and general decrease of our birds-a calamity which is saddening to the lovers of wild life. It is time to call halt before our national domain is strippedof it's bird and animal life.
 The type of ,sportsnhanship that we need now is the sportsman naturalist who shoots lawful game only in great moderation, and cares more to know all the wild creatures in their native haunts than to further reduce their pitifully small numbers. We need to educate the new generation to go hunting in May, and throughout the year, in the manner above described. and we shall see great changes for the better.

Doing Without Powder.

simple In composition. If the applica-

always cleansed before retiring the
