GAME WARDEN SAYS
TO OBEY THE LAW
Says Federal Statute is Unfair But
Thinks it Should be
Observed.

State Game Warden Hinshaw las
year took the position that sports
men could shoot migratory birds il
Iowa regardless of the federal Law
prohibiting it. Now, however, h
is INDUCING in wise counsel and de
clares that while the law is unfair
it should be obeyed. This will be O.
interest to Hamilton county sports
men who have been somewhat unde
cided as to their rights in the mat
ter. Mr.. Hinshaw has issued the
following statement:
'To the sportsmen of Iowa: There
has been so much agitation and sc
many different rumors concerning
the killing of migratory birds, and
so many inquiries are coming to this
department, that we find it neces.
sary to issue this circular letter, set
ting forth the facts.
s'The government law prevents the
killing of migratory birds during the
spring season. There is consider
able agitation to have these rulings
amended to give the sportsmen OF
Iowa some shooting during the time
when it is possible for them to see
a few ducks. This department is in
favor of an amendment to that effect
and is working along that line, but
nothing can be done to change the
rulings and regulations this year,
but believe by another year full ar
rangements will be made, and if the
migratory bird law shall have been
declared constitutional, rulings will
be so changed, as to, in a reasonable
way, equalize the shooting between
the different sections of the United
States. Because law is unjust, is
not sufficient reason for violating
the same and we advise the sports
men to live up to the rules laid
down by the government, and in
stead of showing antagonism by vio-
lations, put our efforts forth to have
them so amended that they will be
just. ...
There is no sport connected with
hunting or fishing contrary to law.
A person so hunting or fishing does
not enjoy doing so to sufficient ex-
tent to warrant violating a law or
laying themselves liable to prosecu-
ton and the detrimental effects of
the same.
Let us all be clean in this matter
and abide by the rules and laws as
they exist, and our plea for change
will have much more weight than
they will if we show open antagon-
ism in violating the law. If we are
right in our contention, which we
fully believe we are, we will get
what is coming to us by copcerted
action along that line. In the mean
time, let us all be clean sportsmen.

there has been nothing in the past
dozen years to compare with the
steady rise of land values here in
Iowa. There is no imitation, nothing
that resembles boom, but the prices
continue to go up, perhaps simply
because it is impossible to keep a
good thing down.

.FURS AND FUR SUBSTITUTES
Graceful, Becoming Models In Both
Winter Has Made a Change
In the Styles.

Winter sees a decided change in
the style of the newest wraps and
stoles made in furs or fur substitutes.
Last year the majority of the stoles
were quite straight in shape, the
widths varying from eight or nine
inches to considerable proportions.
but now the old-fashioned pelerine or
small cape promises to be most popu.
lar.
Carried out in soft musquash, seal,
coney, ermine or other fur many of
these models are very graceful and
becoming.
Some beautiful examples of shaped
shoulder scarfs seen lately were made
of broadtail or black ponyskin, as
supple and silky as satin, trimmed
with effective touches of taffeta or
velvet, in some cases with another fur
introduced around the neck or deco
rating the ends.
For those, however, who find these
real furs too costly the new makes
of ponyskin and broadtail cloth an
swer most admirably. Those manu-
featured furs are such faithful copies
of the real article that in many in
stances 1t requires an expert to dis
criminate between the two.
Those who require an up-to-date fur
wrap at a moderate cost cannot do
better than copy the real furs in fur
CLOTH This is by no means a difficult
proceeding, as the fur cloth can be OBJ
tanned in wide widths that can readily
be draped in graceful lines.

terial it is as well to add an interim

MAKING CORNED BEEF
RECIPE THAT is RECOMMENDED
BY AN EXPERT.
Meat From eat Animals Setter Than
Than From Ponr-Proportion OF
Salt Is a Highly lmpor-
tant Matter.

Tho pieces commonly used for corn
ing are the plate. rump, cross ribs and
brtsket, or In other words the cheaper
cuts of meat. The loin, ribs and other
fancy cuts are more often used fresh.
and since there is more or less waste
of nutrients in corning. this Is well.
The pieces for corning should be cut
into convenent-sized joints. say. five
or six inches square. 1t should be the
aim to cut them all about the same
thickness so that they will make an
even layer in the barrel.
Meat from, fat animals makes
choicer corned beef than that from
poor animals. When the meat is thor
orghly cooled /. should be corned as
soon as pc .sible, as any decay In the
meat is likely to spoil the brine during
the corning process. Under no cir
cumstances should the meat be brined
while 1t is frozen.
Weigh out the meat and allow eight
pounds of salt to each 100 pounds;
sprinkle layer Of salt one-quarter Of
IN inch in depth over the bottom OF
tho barrel; pack in as closely as pos
sible the cuts of meat. making a layer
five or six inches in thickness; thea
put on a layer OF salt, following that
with another layer Of meat: repeat
until the meat and salt lave all been
racked in the barrel, care being used
to reserve salt enough for good layer
over the top. After the package has
stood overnight, add for every 100
pounds of meat. four pounds Of sugar.
two ounces of baking soda and four
ounces of saltpeter dissolved in gal
lon of tepid water. Three gallons
more water should be sufficient to
cover this quantity. In ,ase more or
less than 100 pounds Of meat l.. to be
.crned. make the brine in The proper
ton giveA. A loose board cover.
weighted down with heavy stone or
piece-of iron, should be put on the
meat to keep all Of it under the brine.
In case any should project, rust would
start and the brine would poll In q
short time
[ It is not necessary to boil the brine
except In warm weather II the meat
has been corned during the winter and
must be kept into the summer season.
1t would be we'll to watch the brine
closely during the spring. as it Is more
likely to spoil at that time than at any
other season. If the brine appears to
be ropy or does not drip freely, from
the finger when immersed and lifted.
It should be turned off and new brine
added, after carefully washing the
meat. The sugar or molasses in the
brine has tendency to ferment, and,
unless the brine is kept in cool
place. there is sometimes trouble from
this source. The meat should be kept
in the brine twenty-eight to forty days
to secure thorough corning.-Andrew
Boss, Agriculturist, University Farm,
st. Paul.

Improvement IN THE SOUTH

proved Farm Machinery 10 Pre-
diction Of Government Expert.

{By H. e. sAvELY, United States De-
partment OF Agricultural
From my observation and from re-
ports of our county agents, 1t is my
belief that the grain acreage OF the
South will be more than doubled. we
have had some reports showing that
in spite of the financial distress
caused by the low price of cotton
there will be a large increase In the
purchase Of machinery for handling
grain crops. To give an illustration,
in one of the boil weevil infested
counties~of. Alabama the faxmers In a,
number OF communities have come
together and pledged to SOW given
acreage of grain. Where sufficient
acreage was pledged funds were at
once guaranteed to buy a thresnlng
machine. In the same way two or
three farmers having small grain
acreage have co-operated in the pur-
chase of binders. In this county
funds are already pledged for placing
five threshing machines in communl-
ties where none have ever been be-
fore. Fifteen to twenty binders have
been placed in the same way.
From reports Of this kind am led
10 believe that farmers will be able to
get funds for buying the necessary
machinery for handling the increased
acreage in grain. 1t is gratifying to
Note also that the business men OF
the South are giving financial aid to
farmers in this movement.

Because of the abundant supply Of
cotton-seed meal that there is likely
to be in this country, specialists in
the department Of agriculture believe
that the farmer has better oppor-
tunity to make money by feeding beef
cattle than for some years past. The
feeding value of cotton-seed meal has
been recognized by agricultural au-
thorities for some time, and large
quantities of it are exported annually
to Europe, where the farmers, especial
ly those in Denmark. are also aware
of its usefulness. 1t now seems likely
that the price of cotton-seed meal will
continue to be considerably lower than
in recent years, and the American
