PIKE MATCHING IS
FEASIBLE IN SO. OAK.
II. S. REDRICK RETURNS TO STATE
AFTER TRIP OF INSPECTION IN
MINNESOTA AND ILLINOIS.

That the establishment'of 4 South
Dakota fish hatchery is not difficult
of realization, and that it may be
started for $4,000 or less, is the
opinion of State Game Warden III.
S. Hedrick. Mr.. Hedrick has just
returned from an extended trip
through Minnesota, in which state
he made study Of the fish hatch
cries as they exist there.
Mr.. Hendrix visited the state
hatcherics. also the government
hatchery. From the information
CLEANED. he believes that South Da-
kota can undertake the Matching Of
game fish with a prospect of good
success. The Matching of pike fry
he found the easiest of accomplish
ment, more certain OF results, and
will probably recommend to the
game and fish commission that in
the beginning at least the work be
confined to Matching of pike.
The hatchery at Winona.' said
Mr.. Hendrick, is producing mil
lions of pike. Their method is to
go up into the norther part Of the
state where there are lakes abound-
ing in this game fish. The big fish
are taken out at the proper season
by seining, stripped Of the spawn,
and thrown back into the water.
The spawn is then sent to the hatch
|ery where by simple process in
|cubation takes place and the little
wiggling ninnows~ are ready for
distribution.
Minnesota finds this plan pro-
ductive of splendid results. On the
other hand, the Matching of black
bass fry is more difficult. Black
bass cannot be stripped of spawn.
That makes it more difficult to get.
In the second place the bass is such
an avoracious cannibal that the
little fry literally eat each other up.
From all that | learned ! believe
pike can be hatched easily in South
Dakota. The only problem would
be to find the waters from. which
to take the adult fish for stripping
purposes, and if such water cannot
be located in the state, | believe it
could be in Minnesota.
While absent Mr.. Hedrick looked
up the proposition of securing more
pheasants for stocking the fields of
this state. For this purpose he
visited a pheasant farm at Oak
Park. Ill.,, where thousands of ring
necks are produced each year.
Having investigated the source of
supply. the warden will now look
up and check up the results OF the
states last purchase of pheasants
under Former Warden w. F. Ban
croft with the view OF getting the
best results out of the stock to be
purchased this coming fall.

To allay itching and irritation Of the

beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree

comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make

ment into the parting witS bit OF
soft flannel held over the end Of the

the hair. 1t is well TO place a light
covering over the hair to protect the

be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment

BROKE HORSE OF BAD HABIT

ter to the Wilmington (Del) News
Spears tells the following story: IL
filled a stout gunny sack with sand and
suspended II from the ceiling in the
rear Of the stall by rope in such a
position behind the horse that its
heels could have good play upon IT,
This large pendulum. needing only n
strong power to start II, would swing
with clocklike precision as soon as
the horse began TO play its acrobatic
stunts upon II. At the first Kick the
bag swung away. only to return with
more force, giving the animal much
more than 1t had sent. This uneXpect-
ed return on the part of the bag caused
the horse to kick harder. but each time
the bag returned harder and paid the
animal with interest. Finally the
horse, realizing that further kicking
would be fruitless, stopped kicking
The bag was allowed to hang In the
same position for an entire week, bu;
no more use for II was seen"

REARING GoSLlNGS NOT HARD
Long 5roodine Is Unnecessary and an
Ordinary Hen Coop viii Accom-
modate Three or Four.
CBy w. ROBINsONl

(By w. ROBINSON)
! have always used large. full feath-
cred hens for hatchings, only allowing
the geese to sit on the last eggs OF
the season. A good broody hen will
steadily sit the 80 days occupied in
the incubation of these eggs
If she be given no more than four
eggs and they are set in an earth nest
and turned once daily they should in
almost every case produce vigorous
goslings If the parent birds are healthy
and well matured.
Some people find a difficulty during
the early days of raising in the ten
dency Of the birds to fall upon their
backs and an inability to right them
selves without assistant, necessitat-
ing combined watchfulness or loss.
This, however is a nuisance that
may be avoided by the use of the eggs
of mature, sound stock only, the
weakness being absent In the progeny
of old birds in good breeding condi-
ton.
The actual rearing presents no diff
culties to one qualified In poultry
raising. Long brooding is unnecessary
and an ordinary hen coop is sufficient
to accommodate three or four goslings
and a hen as long as it Is necessary
to leave the latter in charge, but dur
ing the first days the gosling's run,
which should be on short grass, should
be limited.
The best diet is a simple one and
for the first few days l have found
nothing better than stale bread well
soaked and squeezed moderately dry
and mixed with liberal allowance of
dandelion leaves, well chopped and
free from stringy pieces. Biscuit meal
may be used instead of the stale bread
but 1t is more expensive and the re-
suits are no better.
By the middle of the first week
ground oats should take the place of
the bread, mixed with a sufficient
quantity of grit to make the mixture
crumbly, the dandelions being COM
bined.
The green food may be gradually
reduced and finally abandoned when
the young birds are grazing freely
They should commence grazing al
about a week old.
Upon a good grazing ground and
with a sufficient supply of soft food
mixture, of which ground oats should
be the staple ingredient, goslings will
progress rapidly.

Color.

Color is largely a matter of breed.
The color character in eggs has no
relation whatsoever to their food
value. An egg with a white shell does
not differ in composition from one
with with brown she'll. Eggs of the
Mediterranean breeds are white, while
those of the Asiatic breeds are brown.
In general the eggs of the American
breeds are also brown, but are rarely
as uniform in color as the other two
classes. Uniformity in color regard
less of whether eggs are white or
brown should be sought for by the
poultryman. A good appearance to
crate of eggs is procured only WHEN
uniformity in size, shape and color is
present.
