feet seven years this month. So DR..

be used TO check against the records
of the bureau of vital statistics.
IL Colorado child is found whose
birth is not recorded by the state.

the physician whose negligence is re-
sponsible. A fine of not less than 80
nor more than $50 attaches TO the
failure of a physician properly TO re-
cord a birth.
1T Is very iportant.' said Hunter.
that a nexact and accurate record
be kept of all births in the state. In
questions OF establishing Identity In
later years. a birth certificate will be
accepted as prima facic evidence IN
any court or place OF record"

STATE PHEASAhTRIES
At THE PENITENTIARY

The pheasantries in the State park
opposite the penitentiary are well
worth a visit by all interested in the
efforts being made by the game and
fish commission to stock the fields
and mountains of Colorado with game
birds.
At present there are $50 Mongo-
liam. or Chinese ringed neck. pheas-
ants in the inclosure. and a more
beautiful lot OF birds II would be diff
fcult to find anywhere in the coun-
try The collection is fully as fine as
the one in the city park at Denver.
which is famous all over the west.
The female birds are just begin.
ming to lay. and IL will be several
weeks before any chicks are TO be
seen. Warden lyman. who has taken
over from the state game commits
sIoner the rearing Of these birds. eX-
presses the belief that he will be able
to release a thousand phcasants ey-
cry year from his present stock.
The Arkansas valley and the Grand
River valley are said 10 present ideal
conditions for the Chinese ring neck
ed pheasants and in a few years they
will be thoroughly stocked with these
beautiful birds.
Warden lyman is expecting the ar.
rival shortly of a codsignment OF
Hungarian pheasants and will endea-
vor TO breed them for distribution In
the grain growing districts OF ths
state. They are said to be equally as
hardy as their Oriental cousins ant
quite as much in favor as a game
bird.
The poultry yards at the peniten.
tlary are also an interesting place al
present and contain more thani 500
little chickens. some Of them but =
day or two old. They are all OF the
best strains and are an attractive lot
OF FUZZY animation.
The prison yards are expected &c
produce 10000 chickens this year.
