A bird was captured just before it
reached the chimney. Its wing was
broken by a shot, and it was caught
in a net. 1t proved to be a ten-year-

the mysterious tablets.
When Colonel Whistleton brought the
tablet to his chief the latter ordered Mr..

There is one pleasing thing to be
deduced from a review OF the figures
showing the fire loss in the United
states and Canada for the current
year. and that is that while not by
any means small they have shown
tendency toward diminution since the
beginning Of the year The amount
for August was $14.1SS. 000-the small
est for any month of the present year.
For the first eight months of 1912 the
IRE loss aggregated $l63 $50, $50, which
vas approximately four million dol
lars less than for the corresponding
period OF last year, though sixteen
millions in excess of that for the first

NEW INDUSTRY IN PHEAsAMTs

(By W. l. M'ATEE.)


Conservation Of the fauna including
the game birds of the United States

laws intended to control the shooting
and marketing Of wild birds. and nee
essarily limits 10th the period during
which they may be hunted and the
number available to supply the in.
creasing demands Of those who desire
those table Injuries.
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 II
already permitted In several Of the
states, indicating that American mar
kets will open more and more tc
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.

prices for certain species for stocking

numbers Of dead pheasanrs are annual
ly imported from Europe to be sold
tor 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
IL 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 IL ringneck pheasants collected in
Oregon and Washington and 1875 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 1t is probable that all
of this grain was waste. The next
largest item of fcSd 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 1t 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 a
number of them attack a crop they are
likely to make short work of it, or il
they devote themselves to weed seeds
or insect pests they do 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 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.

Story Of Farm.
"A farm that bought in 1904 for

II you need strength, If your blood 10

pay you to investigate the merits Of DR..
Williams Pink Pills, the remedy that
has transformed 80 many weak, anamic,
dyspeptic, ambitionless people into
strong, healthy, hungry men and
women.
Mrs. Lena May Roberts, whose I'D.
dress r. F. d. No. g., Aberdeen, So.
Dakota after several months of suffering
finally found the right tonic in DR..
Williams Pink Pills. She says:
For months after the birth of my
baby, suffered terribly from q general
breakdown in health. Twas in bed for
three months and after that was able to
be up only part of the time. was
sick all over, being pale, weak and
thin. Ny appetite was gone and nv
head ached most of the time. Often
times there seemed to be rush of blood
to my head and would faint away. I
was very nervous and was not strong
enough to do any work.
not help me, I began to take DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, which q friend said
had helped her. After taking few

continued using them for q time and
am now as well and strong as ever in
my life.''
The value Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in general debility lies in their direct re.
Spouse to the needs of the blood. Their
work is to make new blood. That they
do this well is shown by the gradual
disappearance of the symptoms and
the return of color and health. They
lay the foundation for permanent health
in the future.
For the same reason these pills have
cured anaemia, after-effects of the grip
and fevers, rheumatism, indigestion,
and nervousness, dizziness, neuralgia
and St. Vitus' dance, and are recon-
mended wherever tonic for the blood
and nerves is needed.
A valuable booklet, Diseases of the
Blood" containing fuller information
about rheumatism and other diseases of
the blood will be sent free upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
