/ The Blandinsville Star-Gazette
prints the following indictment of
the quail hunters: A big red-faced
man will carry an eight pound gun
1 ten miles through the brush to kill a
4 six ounce bird and call It sport. He
| is not driven by hunger. and the game
| is not worth the ammunition. 1t Is
the remains of the average instinct of
brutal ancestors that civilization has
not been able to eradicate from all
our natures. 1t is simply savage
| Joy in killing. with no pity for the
cripples that hide away to die. Our
| friends, the birds, must look to the
humanity and intelligence Of the farm
er for their protection and we are
1 glad to see so many OF them warning
the butcher to stay out.
| An Iowa farmer has devised a rat
trap upon which he claims no patent,
but which any one troubled with rats
can use. He purchased a big galyan-
| lied iron hucket-or garbage pail
and placed IT in the barn. He filed it
| two-thirds full Of water and on top of
! the water a layer Of chaffy oats an
inch deep. The next morning he
/ emptied out the mixture of water,
oats and drowned rats. He rebaited
hfs trap and the next morning he
| figured results, and found that he
aimless1y. but with malice afore-
thought, had gotten rid OF SO rats.
