Digging Under the Bird Law.

1t is not that the women of the
United States are clamoring for the
privilege of emuiating the savages oi
all ages by wearing trophies of the
chase, but because a great CONNER
cial factor is fighting to preserve OF
prolong the life of it's scheme of heart
less gain, that is behind the new
webb bill" now before Congress
Seeming a scheme to bore a loophole
in the law by which Uncle Sam has
just been enabled to protect wild bird
life by prohibiting importation of aig-
rettes and other plumage, officers OF
the National Association of Audubon
Societies have issued a call to fight
the Webb bill, recently introduced In
Congress, which they declare will serve
the interests of the professional bird
butchers of the millinery market. BY
amending the tariff law to admit plum
age held here before it's enactment and
taken abroad by residents of this coun-
try, this measure is sure to open to
the feather hunters an easy way to
defy the federal ban which the people
of all the country demanded of Con-
gress last year. it is asserted. Mil
lions of mother egrets and other wild
birds are being saved from butchery
for their nuptial plumes as result of
the successful operation of the new
law, it is shown by the Audubon
agents, who have watched the milli-
merry market and believe the proposed
amendment would render its further
enforcement a farce.
That scores of scouts for the great
feather interests could be dispatched
abroad with bundles of aigrettes that
might be swelled by thousands more
on the return trip, is pointed out by
the men who know that the milliners
are secretly rejoiced over the quiet in
PRODUCTION of the Webb bill. Though
THIS pTOposcu iooPhoio ic6ioioe ioAi
provides admitting such plumes upon
their identity being established under
appropriate rules and regulations to
be prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury" any adequate identification
of a feather is pronounced absurd and
impossible by ornithologists who have
just been consulted here. With the
customs men helpless to prevent 1t,
the Webb amendment would legitima
tie a wholesale smuggling of plumage
that would soon restore their old mar
ket to the men who massacre the birds
plumes, it is believed.

Now 1t Is Bristow.

why is the crepe on the Ell Jay
door," you ask? Why, hadn't you
heard? Haven't you read about Bris-
tow? wshm,. Senator Joseph L., the
Kansas chief of Armageddonites, the
man who, next to T. R., Editor Ding
ley has launded nearest to the skies as
the safest. sanest colossus of pro-
gress, purity and perspicacity. Well,
Senator Bristow has discovered that
the real Progressive party of today is
the Republican party, and that that
grand old agency of the people is now
the only force which can be reckoned
on to secure actual advancement and
redeem the country from laundering,
inefficient Democracy. Senator Bris-
tow has discovered that however high
the ideals of his so-called Progress
siye" associates, with them he must
still act the part of assistant Demo-
Gratis" He has seen that the Jig is up
so far as any possibility of ever be-
coming more than wavering, uncer-
tain, irresponsible and disappointing
balance of power" in Legislative bod
les, between two closely matched and
eternally opposed political forces.
At critical moments an element of
the high idealist forces always fails
the leaders, as in the notorious case
of the organization of the Massachu-
sets House, the other day. And, that
which is more remarkable still, the
men who fail" the leaders always
have moral justice on their side, and
cling to the ideals they have claimed
10 defeat narrow or despicable politi-
cal bargaining or triekery.
And, when Progressive leaders
talk about the raillery of other party
organs they should consider what BIRD
said of the six who voted against his
plot, or what Dingley and others sai6
against those who lived up to theil
primary understandings and obliga'
tions in the last Maine Legislature

From the third bulletin in Volume
from The College of Agriculture Is
CLEANED the following advice for or
chardists, offered by Bliss S. Brown,
professor of horticulture:
I'm practically all the colder parts
of the United States. nurserymen con
sumo three years in producing from
seed a tree large enough to transplant
to the orchard. At the close OF the
third year, the young trees should
range from four to six feet in height,
and have a stocky, upright shape. The
medium sized tree always gives the
best results, and the careful orchard
list always selects those when possible
The desire of the amateur orchard1st
to select the largest nursery stock is
vel, understood among nurserymen,
and they invariably divide their stock
into grades, according to size, to meet
this especial demand. But if the opin-
ion of the honest nurseryman be So
llcited, lie will say Use the medium
grade for the best results and many
and repeated trials have proven TINS
to be a fact. For good results, the sub
seouent handling of nursery stock is
quite as important as the growing
Many good trees have been ruined by
careless digging or transplanting. One
infallihle rule among nurserymen is to
handle the trees with the least pos
sible exposure of the roots to the air.
Even SO small a time as ten minutes
exposure to a dry, hot wind may prove
disastrous.
