tied country, and as it does no harm
to agriculture there Is no reason why
1t should not remain indefinitely avail
able for sport 1t has, however, been
seriously threatened by two factors
winter storms and summer shooting.
The birds winter as far north as they
can find unfrozen ground. In conse-
quence a severe cold wave is likely to
reduce them to starvation and drive
them into places where they can be
slaughtered numerically. In 1892. for
instance. a gale that swept the coast
of South Carolina drove them in thou
sands into the streets OF one village
where fully two thousand were killed
in one day. The shooting of mated
birds in spring and the massacre of
young ones in summer have contrib
uted to bring the wOodcock to the
verge of determination.
The Eskimo curlew affords an excel
lent object lesson OF the ease with
which u species once abundant can be
actually eXterminated. On the prairies
west of the Mississippi vast tlocks on
their way to Labrador were formerly
| common sight. in the last dozen
years scarcely dozen individual
birds have been seen The close-packed
ranks OF the migrating birds offered
the easiest of marks and they were lit
orally moved down in spring before
they could reach their breeding
grounds. In addition. they were
slaughtered for months in their winter
home in the Argentine. and the final
| touch to their destruction was given
when both the Argentine and the
western prairies were turned into vast
wheat fields
To save our other species from the
fate OF the Eskimo curlew is the OBJ
ject OF the federal migratory bird law.
Since the birds are continually pass
ing from state to state, experience has
shown that the laws of individual
states are not sufficient protection and
that this can only be afforded by a
scheme comprehensive enough to in
clude the whole range of the birds

Thirty-six feet in width is recog-

COW stable when machinery is used to
save hand labor. 1t gives room for the
different stable carriers, for milking
machines and for the necessary me-

In this stable the COWS are headed
in for the same reason. 1t is cheaper
and easier to care for cattle when they
face each other. Also the many win
