Ringneck Pheasant.

numbers of dead pheasants 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
Is popularity supposed.
The few pheasant stomachs ex,
amined indicate that these birds are
very fond of grain. Oats and wheat
composed abou "a per cent. of the food
OF IL ringneck nleasants 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 next
largest item of fGId in these stomachs
was insects, consisting entirely of lar
vac of March flies. One stomach con
tanned no fewer than 800 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 it 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 capabii-
ties for good or harm are great. If
number of them attack crop they are
likely to make short work of it, or If
they devote themselves to weed seeds
or insect pests they do a great deal of
good. 1t seems therefore that the
question of the 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
iood available. Apparently the
chances are about even that imported
pheasants will or will not become
useful economic factors.

Stopping Pigs Roofing.

Rings are often inserted in the
noses of hogs to prevent their root
ing. This is a very good practice and
Is followed by many breeders. The
rings and tools for inserting them
can be purchased quite cheaply from
almost any dealer in agricultural tools
The reason that pigs root in the
sround is to get roots and insects
there that they like to eat. 1t is prob
ably a characteristic that sticks to
domestcated hogs that was learned
when all hogs were wild and found 1t
necessary to get part of their feed
from the soil. AS a rule, if hogs are
well fed they will not do much root.

servians Perform Daring Deeds.

Vranaya, Servia.-At the battle of
Kumanova the Servians lost 500 killed
and 1000 wounded. The Turks lost
10000 killed or wounded, All accounts
of the fight pay tribute to the valor of
the Servian officers and men. Lieuten-
ant Milich, commanding an infantry
company, blew out his brains rather
than obey command to retire from
an exposed position, whereupon his
men charged the Turks, with the re-
suit that all were killed.

Feeding Up for Winter Layers.

The winter layers must have a diet
rich in protein, and also considerab BILE
mineral matter. There are many
foods that contain large amounts of
protein. but the source that is most
common is meat. beef scrap, cotton
seed meal, wheat shorts, rice, bran
and wheat bran. Grains have consid
cradle protein, but fat and carbohy
irates are the leading constituents OF
grains. Laying hens will require some
grain, but too much is conducive te
laying on fat at expense of eggs.

to town in his carriage, still in solitary

inc evening at the Star and Garter In
another room and, strolhng into the
larger one, came across Thackeray,
screened off from the other diners and
Just finishing his elaborate repast.
"'Well, Thackeray,' he said, you are
an extraordinary man-here all alone
when you must have known any or all
of us would have kept you company
"'All alone! My dear O'Dowd,' cried
Thackeray, 4 alone! Why, I have had

Fort Worth, Tex. - John Beal
Sneed. the wealthy Amarillo banker,
who shot and killed Capt. A. G. Boyce
in Fort Worth on February 14th last.
shot and instantly killed Al Boyce, son
of Captain Boyce. in front of the
First Methodist church in Amarillo.
Sneed was disguised as a farmer,
wearing dirty overalls and beard,
gun. One load was fired through
Boyce's body at close range.
Al. Boyce eloped with Mrs. Lena
Sneed, wife of ]. B. Sneed, last win
ter, after her husband had placed her
in n Fort Worth sanitarium. The
couple went to st. Louis, to New York
and were captured at Winnipeg, Can
ada.
Young Boyce returned to Amarillo
only week ago. He has been rum
ming a big ranch in western Canada.
1t was not known that Sneed was in
the city. Boyce did not recognize
sneed when they had met on the
street
Sneed surrendered himself immedi-
ately after the shooting, and refused
to make any statement.
Feeling runs high. as the Boyces
have thousands of friends and sup
porters.
Only n few weeks ago Mrs. Sneed
and her husband were reconciled and
were supposed to be living together
in Georgetnwn Tex
AT Sneed's trial here last winter for
killing Captain Boyce. a hung jury
resulted, and his second trial for this
crime is set for November 11th.
Both the Boyce and Sneed families
are wealthy in land. cattle and bank
ing interests. Before they went to
Amarillo the two families were neighi
bors and friends in Georgetown.
Sneed shot the elder Boyce while he
was sitting in the lobby OF the Met
ropolitan hotel here. He asserted that
the elder man was instrumental in
causing his wife to elope with the
younger Boyce.
There are three other Boyce broth
ers. all rich cattlemen and bankers.
and all dead shots.
At the trial last winter Lynn Boyce
attempted to attack Sneed and one of
his attorneys, but was overpowered by
AL. Boyce.
For long ;iinc Mrs. sneed refused
to testify in behalf of the husband at
his trial.
