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 acclimatize pheasants in
the United States are Of comparative
ly recent origin, though earlier than
is popularity supposed
The few pheasant stomachs ex-
amined indicate that these birds are
very fond of grain. Oats and wheat
composed about "a per cent. of the food
of II ringneck pheasants collected in
Oregon and Washington and S2.5 per
cent. Of the stomach contents of two
English pheasants from British Co
lumba. 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 next
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 go kernels of wheat
and oats were taken by various birds;
about 200 peas were found In one
stomach, but it was evident that these
were the old and partly decomposed
refuse of the harvest. Twentythree
acorns and 200 pine seeds were taken
by the birds which ate the largest
amount of mast, and about 800 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 capabill-
ties for good or harm are great. II
number of them attack crop they are
likely to make short work of it, or II
they devote themselves to weed seeds
or insect pests they do great deal of
good. 1t seems therefore that the
question of tho economic value of
pheasants Is peculiarly local one.
Much depends on the proportion of
land under cultivation, the kind OF
crops raised, and the quantity of wild
food available. Apparently the
chances are about even that imported
pheasants will or will not become
useful economic factors.

VALUE OF BLANKETlMG cows
Practice Adopted In Australia Fousd
to Give Excellent Results Dur
Ing Cold Weather.

For some years past number of
dairymen in Australia have adopted
the practice of blanketing COWS dur
ing wet and cold weather. The re-
suits In every case are spoken OF as
being highly satisfactory. When COWS
are kept warm the food they con-
sumo, instead of being utilized to-
maintain daily heat, is largely del
voted to the production of milk, and
in this way the dairyman realizes a.
large profit on the very small outlay
required to provide blankets for his
cattle in cold weather.
Men who have studied the subject
closely say that the effect of covers
on COWS Is very remarkable. The
quiet COWS become more quiet and
contented, while those that are shy
or nervous have their nerves soothcd.
and submit of being handled without
fear This is no fad of one or two
men, but has become so common
that the manufacturers have placed
several kinds of blankets as cover
ings on the markets, with view or
supplying the demand that has
arisen.
1t Is said, however, that home
made blanket, made from old wheat
bags, serves the purpose as well as
anything. After they have been worn
for short time they become thor
oughly waterproof.

Modern Aesop.

One day. in the presence of the Fox,
the Tortoise was Dragging to the Hare
of his ability as runner The Fox
was very derisive of the Tortoise's pre-.
tensions, whercupun the Tortoise,
wlnking at the Hare, offered to bet
the Fox considerable sum of money
that he could outrun the Hare. The
Fox lost no time in putting up the
money, and off the contestants started.
The Hare took big lead at once, but
after getting comfortably out of sight,
wandered away from the track and fell
asleep. The Tortoise accordingly was
the first to reach the winning post.
The Fox went off cursing at the loss
of his money, and when he had gone
the Tortoise divided his winnings with
the Hare. Ever since that time bet
ting on races has been an uncertain
sport.-Life.

VINE CUTTINGS FOR SPRING

Cu.rant and grape cuttings, planted
in beds in early spring, are nulched
in late summer, preferably with saw
dust or tan bark, and kept moist until
the cuttings are rooted. Later on thu
propagating bed is given frequent
and shallow cultivation. Hoeing is frc.

The man who invented the beef
steak tomato is clever. The name
was a happy thought. In this time
of high prices. when many a family
has almost forgotten how beefsteak
looks, at least in its serloin or porter
house cuts, this comparatively new
and wholly substantial tomato is a
valuable addition to the sum of hui
man happiness. The name is satisfy
Ing. The vegetable itself Is still
more so. Not every large, smooth
tomato Is a true beefsteak. The lat
ter is crimson in color, not vermil-
lion-if you have good eye for
shades. The skin of beefsteak to-
mato is close fitting never loose, the
seeds are few and the flesh is solid
meat. Half pound of beefsteak to-
mato Is almost as much Of a meal
as half pound of filet du boeuf, also
as succulent and juicy. Tomatoes
are not prohibtive in price at this
time, and they are good three times
a day. Don't slice them. Give each
individual a whole one and receive
his blessing,

NEW INDUSTRY IN PHEASANTS
Interest Becoming Widespread and
Thousands of Birds Now Scattered
Throughout Country.
(By w. L. M'ATEE.)

Conservation Of the fauna including
the game birds of the United States
requires the strict enforcement on
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 III,
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 or
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 the
fast disappearing wild game.
At present there is no lack OF de-
mand for pheasants 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
