PROTEST MADE
AGAINST HUNTER
No Reason Why Farmer Should
be Expected to Tolerate Band
OF Trespassers Every
Fall.
(By BESSIE L. PUTNAM

A few years ago, when the pioneers
along the line commenced to object to
the depredations of the hunter, they
were charged by hunter and surround
ing farmers alike as stingy and I'M
accommodating. But more and more
is there a growing sentiment against
having ones farm used as hunting
ground.
At this season it is very easy to
start a fire, very difficult to check one
that has once commenced. Even
though the majority of hunters are
careful never to toss aside a lighted
cigar, never to strike matches in i'm
proper places, one never knows when
the careless one may come along and
do untold mischief
There is the annoyance to stock.
The old saying, "One might as we'll
be killed as scared to DEATH" is ap-
plicable with peculiar force. Sheep,
worried by hunter and dogs, soon be.
come so wild that not even the owner
can approach them readily.
Cattle have been known to STAN
peed whep a gun was fired in close
proximity. Such treatment is ruinous
to the dairyman, to say nothing of the
frequent accidents, when valuable
animal is sacrificed the hunter maxi
ing off with his game and leaving the
owner of the land that much poorer
for his generosity.
Finally, the game is rapidly being
eXterminated, and much of it is really
the farmers friend. The quail, the
clear note of which fills all bird Low.
ers with joy, is one of the best insect
and weed destroyers.
A flock of quail in the potato patch
renders the use of Paris green un,
necessary, and the detested cut-worm
is their favorite dessert.
The farmer feeds the world" but
ttere is no reason why he should b
expected to tolerate band Of tire
passers every, fall, endangering Il
life of his possessions. In many
munities farmers are banding
er against the hunting nuisanr

It is frequently necessary to make

Horses are exceedingly susceptible
to cold on the chest, and horse will
oftentimes contract pneumonia or 9TH

Depth Gage for Saws.

the saw blade are fastened to a pair
of arms secured to a block at the
upper end. A thumb screw below this
block may be frightened to clamp the
two strips against the blade of the
saw. These strips may be secured at
any desired point on the blade, and
thus provide an easily adjustable
depth gauge.
