NEW INDUSTRY IN PHEAsANTS
Interest Becoming Widespread and
Thousands Of Birds Now Scattered
Throughout Country.
CBy W. L M,ATEEN


Conservation OF the fauna including
the game birds Of the United States
requires the strict enforcement OF
laws intended to control the shooting
and marketing OF wild birds, and nee
essarily limits both the period during
which they may be hunted and the
number available to supply the in
creasing demands Of those who desire
those table luXuries.
This lack may be remedied by the
product OF aviaries, preserves, and
private parks, devoted to rearing of
domesticated game, the marketing Of
which under suitable safeguards is
already permitted in several of the
states, indicating that American mar
kets will open more and more to
these domesticated substitutes to tho
fast disappearing wild game.
At present there is no lack of de-
mand for pheasauts for various pur-
poses. Owners Of private preserves.
and state game officials, pay profitable
prices for certain species for stocking
their covers, geological and city parks
and owners OF private aviaries are
ready purchasers Of the rarer and
more beautiful species. and large

Along with the show season comes
the selection of corn exhibits. Where
corn is shown for premiums ii is GUS
tomary to show ten ears together as
a sample, and consequently in judg-
ing such samples the ten ears must
be considered as a whole, instead OF a
single ear In selecting a sample It is
well to first select twenty FIVE or thir.

Bear in mind that one Of the most
important points about a good sample

Rlnsneek Pheasant,

numbers of dead pheasants are annual
ly imported from Europe to be sold
for several times the price they bring
in European countries. The demand
for pheasants is increasing.
Ringneck pheasants have long been
established IN Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia, and are less
common in the wild state in Massachu.
sets, New York. Indiana and Kansas.
Efforts to acclimati2e pheasants in
the United States are Of comparative
ly recent origin, though earlier than
is popularly supposed
The few pheasant stomachs ex-
amined Indicate that these birds are
very fond OF grain Oats and wheat
composed about 34 per cent. Of the food
OF u ringneck pheasants collected in
Oregon and Washington and S2.5 per
cent. of the stomach contents Of two
English pheasants from British Co.
lumbia. But all of these birds were
taken in September, October and De-
cember; hence It Is probable that all
of this grain was waste. The nexy
largest item of food in these stomachs
was insects, consisting entirely OF lar
vac of March flies. One stomach con-
tanned no fewer than $50 of these lar
vac and another 432. The remainder
of the food included acorns, pine seeds,
browse, peas. rose hips, lupine, bur
clover, black mustard and chick.
weed.
From 200 to $50 kernels Of wheat
and oats were taken by various birds;
about 200 peas were found In one
stomach, but IL was evident that these
were the old and partly decomposed
refuse OF the harvest. Twenty.three
acorns and 200 pine seeds were taken
by the birds which ate the largest
amount of mast, and about 500 cap
sules OF chickweed, containing more
than 5000 seeds, were in the stomach
OF the best weed seed eater.
What Is most evident is that pleas.
ants are gross feeders; their capabili.
ties for good or harm are great. II
number Of them attack a crop they are
likely to make short work Of It, or II
they devote themselves to weed seeds
or insect pests they do a great deal of
good II seems therefore that the
question OF the economic value of
pheasants is peculiarly a local one.
Much depends on the proportion of
land under cultivation, the kind of
crops Eaised, and the quantity Of wild
food available, Apparently the
chances are about even that imported
pheasants will or will not become
useful economic factors.

FEED THE HOGS VARIETY
CORN ALONE DOES NOT MAKE
PORK ECONOMICALLY.
BY L. A. Weaver, Instructor in AMI
NAL Husbandry, College Of Agrieul-
ture, University Of Missouri.

The man who Is feeding corn alone
TO his hogs that have not the run Of
a pasture is not making pork the most
economically. l.. A. Weaver, instruct
or in animal husbandry in the College
OF Agriculture, says that unless the
hogs are on clover. cowpea or alfalfa
pasture corn alone is not an econom-
lcal ration. Even when on bluegrass
pasture they need some feed like
tankage TO balance the corn. They not
only put on more meat for the corn
consumed. but they eat more corn
and can be fed longer prohtably
The rauons which Mr.. Weaver rec.

When the man was questioned by the
authorities he claimed to be deaf and
dumb and he gave them the impression
that he was bound for station west
of here. A physician was summoned
who stated that he believed the man
| was insane. A number of men gather

pitifuI plea for money it was decided
to take up collection and allow tie
man TO leave town. The hat Wss

that Kaufman was killed by an extra

afternoon and visited together until
after dark, when, according to the

UNUSUAL ESCAPE
Of INFANT CHILD
Swallowed Open Safety Pin
With No Serious
Results.

That an open safety pin could be
swallowed by four-months old babe
and pass naturally thru the alimen-
tary canal without harm to the little
one, sounds like fiction not even possi-
BILE, much less probable says the Por-
tage Democrat. Yet that's just what
did happen to the granddaughter of
County superintendent of Schools
Chester w. Smith of Portage, and the
Milwaukee doctors are wondering
about it yet.
The babe is daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Russell L.. Smith of Milwaukee.
Some weeks ago while the mother was
dressing the child, she dropped a
safety pin which the child swallowed.
Mrs. Smith was not then certain as to
what became of the pin, as she didn't
see the babe swallow it, but suspected
the truth.
Ten days later being worried about
the matter, she took the babe 10 sur
geon, who, by means of the X-ray, dis
covered clearly that the safety pin,
open, point up, had lodged in the
babe's throat, just above the breast
bone.
For two hours the little one was
held under an anaesthetic while the
surgeon probed in the throat for the
pin. He didn't get it, but the pin did
move. 1t dropped into the babes stom-
ach. Thence it passed away naturally
In course of time and without punctur-
ing any membrane.
Apparently the babe is none the
worse for the strange experience. Doc
tors say the escape from death or seri-
Gus harm is little less than miracu-
lous.

WERE THESE men
At MERR|MACK
-,
Two Noted Robbers are
Being Held For Trial
at West Bend.

An effort to prove an alibi for Jim
Woods, alleged to be Toronto Jimmy,
and William Mason, alias Daddy
Flynn, two of the most experienced
manipulators of dynamite and nitro
glycerine in the country, according to
the police, proved futile at prelimi-
nary examination held at West Bend,
Wis.,, Wednesday afternoon.
These men are believed to be the
robbers who used dynamite at the
Merrimack bank and escaped without
money. Woods is believed to be
the man who was seen carrying the
satchel containing the robbers tools
which were found in Merrimack after
the robbery. 1t was pointed out at
West Bend that in case the men were
released there they would be I'M
mediately rearrested and taken to
either Baltimore or st. Louis where
it is alleged they are wanted.
