TWO VIEWS OF THE
FISH AND GAME

1t was a very good talk. The
pictures were better than the.
talk. Both were instructive.
But not convincing to me.
No doubt Elk are fine animals.
We have some in Toledo. Their
pictures were not shown. But
the ones, imported from Jack
sons Hole looked well in the
movies. Did it pay to import
them into Oregon at the enor-
nous cost that was paid? 1t
didn't pay me. / haven't the
faintest desire to shoot an elk
or deer. Hunting for sport is a
streak of savagery. Directly
or indirectly all of us paid for
those elk. 1t would have
pleased me much better to have
paid for good imported beef cat
tie. l seriously doubt If the
laws for the prot ection of deer
are useful to the poor. And not
year passes without men are
killed for deer. And It costs
$4,000 to raise a man from the
economic side.
There were some pictures of
sealions. Seals are protected
by laws. Yet a seal destroys
enough fish in a year to feed
Toledo on fish-all we want to
eat.
We had pictures of Chinese
pheasants imported and bred
for folks to kill. { much prefer
Plymouth Rock chicks. ! well
remember how the quails ate my
grape crop when it was $25 to
kill one. Now many farmers
are calling pheasants nuisance.
But we have imported nuisances
many times. er7 &
We had some fine pictures of
INJURIES. The Foolish Guilli-
mots, I have heard people call
them. | much prefer the eggs
of Indian Runner ducks to
theirs and the feathers are
about the same value. I was
not at all convinced of my duty
in preserving the eagles, nor the
snipes. l have many songs and
poems about the dear robbins,
I. They are dear to me. They
ate a fourth OF my berries. And
l have no use at all for the So
called wild canaries.

Peaceful Efforts For Redress At the
Junction Exhausted.

The year is expiring with moth
ing done to improve the deplora-
BILE conditions at the Shenandoah
junction depot.
The railroad companies have
had full notice and abundant OPP
portunities to comply with the
statutes of West Virginia and
give their patrons the decent con-
ditions that ordinary humanity
demands.
1t has been hoped that these
great corporations, of their own
volition. and in obedience to the
laws they freely invoke against
trespassers on their own property
rights, would cease to fiout the
public and to assume that they
we're above and beyond the laws
they have SO contemporary and
t1agrantly ignored.
Now, perhaps, they will find
that the easiest way would have
been the best.

Gently been sued, under circum-

of political persecution-wi without
impugning the good faith of
those charged with the conduct

Admitting that we know moth

grievances or motives actuating
the compliments, we deprecate
such newspaper prejudgmeut as
subversive of a fair and impair.

And because the defendant hap.

less positive in this regard.

We are delighted to note that
the City Fathers are seriously
considering the adoption of the
plan of street paving advocated
by the Free Press for loI these
many years.
Councilman Perry's suggestion
issentirely feasible, and just why
Charles Town has Jagged behind
her neighbors in this regard is a
little hard to understand.
AS we figure it, under the stat
ute providing for a division of ex-
pense, this improvement will cost
the property owners less than
nothing since the enhancement in
value consequent to the improve
ment will more than Offset their
small contribution of expense, to
say nothing of the saving of loss
from dust damaged goods which
will be obviated.
Let one square in each direc-
ton from the Court House corner
be paved with such material as
the Street Committee may decide
on, as an experiment.
This will cost the municipality
nothing, since under a recent
court decision the county must
maintain the middle third Of the
main street and would also as
snme the cost of paving in front
of and along the George street
frontage of the Court House, and
the same would apply to the
Washington Hall and Jail 'front.'
ings on both streets.
If, after these four squares are
laid there does not develop a de-
mand for the immediate paving
Of the other central business
thoroughfares of the town, we
miss our guess.
It would bean suspicious open
ing for the coming year to have
the Council act promptly and pro-
gressively in this all important
matter.

FLIES ARE SOURCE
or MUCH TROUBLE
Insects Introduce Some of Most
Undesirable Forms of Bac-
terra in the Milk.

(By ]. N. PRICE, Washington Expert
ment Stauon)
Flies are a source Of great deal OF
trouble in the dairy business. They in
troduce some Of the most undesirable
forms of bacteria, including disease
germs, in the milk. Their habit Of
feeding on decaying material and the
feces of all animals makes them a
very dangerous source of contamina-
ton. They will fly directly from the
manure gutter to the milk pail, thus
introducing into the milk the germs
of any contagious disease with which
any of the cows may be affected. They
also carry the germs Of the sick room
or the privy vault to the dairy build
ing. In many cases serving to spread
disease broadcast by introducing the
germs into the milk supply of many
families.
The barn, milkroom and all other
places where milk Is handled should
be kept as free from flies as possible
II the manure is hauled out frequent
ly and the premises are kept free from
refuse, the number Of flies will be
greatly reduced The manure should
be removed before warm weather
comes and the flies begin to hatch.

attention NEEDED
IN EVERY ORCHARD
Gather Up All Rubbish and Burn
1t to Kill Insects-Pruning
Peach Trees.

After pruning, gather up all the rub
bish and burn. Fire is a sure euro
for bugs.
or course, it is easier to shake
fruit from the trees, but the bruises
are bound to show quickly and may
spot! the market prices.
A good time to cut back peach
trees is in a season when the buds
have been winter killed. Prune Wig
orously and there will soon grow
new head on the old tree.
II you think Of putting out new
peach orchard don't make the mis-
take OF setting your trees Is feet
apart each way. Make 1t twenty.
The old orchard may be sod bound.
Turn it over with pillow and sow to
clover; but be careful not to pillow
deep enough to injure the roots.
Many farmers take excellent care OF
everything on the place except the
orchard. They seem to think that
can take care of itself, but 1t cannot.
1t Is rather too late to prune apple
trees now. This should have been at
tended to about the middle Of June.
Remember this next year.
Grass and weeds in the orchard
make fine nesting place for mice
In the winter.
Grape vines will do their best to
live without help, but little cultiva-
ton and little pruning every year
will make it easier for them.
If your grape vines are being dam
aged by the climbing cut worm, feed
them little arsenic mixed with bran
and water and little sugar mixed
with it to give 1t pleasant taste. Put
a little of 1t around the base OF each
vine and Mr. Cutworm will turn up
his toes.
To kill sweet clover In the orchard,
NOW it frequently during the summer
and allow 1t to rot on the ground.
| Clean cultivation next year will dis
pose of 1t.
A little glue mixed with whitewash
| will make 1t stick to the trees better.
but we do not always believe that
| such a preparation Is good for them.
Sort your apples when packing for
| market. Put all No fruit into boxes
| by itself and the remainder into bar
rels. You will get better price this
way for the whole lot than If all
mixed together
While it Is a good plan to put nice
smooth fruit on the top layer you may
be sure that the housewife before
buying has the grocer show her the
bottom layer also.
