Migratory Bird Law Continues in
Force.

Washington, D. G. Feb ga mis-
leading statement has recently become
current in newspapers Of the Missis-
sippi Valley and elsewhere, to the
effect that the Department of Agri-
culture has suspended the enforce
ment of the Federal regulations I'M
der the Migratory Bird law and by
this means has enabled sportsmen,
under State laws, to shoot wild fowl
the coming spring.
Under the Federal regulations as
they now stand, the season on all mi
gratory wild fowl is closed until next
autumn throughout the United States.
Federal inspectors and wardens are
required, and others interested in the
protection of wild fowl are requested,
to report to the Department of Agri-
culture all cases of violations of the
regulations, in order that proper &C
ton may be taken
The Department Of Agriculture has
no power to suspend the law or to
pardon violations of the regulations
Doubtless the erroneous impression,
on which the newspaper statements
are based, has grown out of the pen
dency of litigation involving the con-
stitutionality of the Act of Congress
approved March 4, 1913, under which
the regulations were promulgated.
The lower Federal courts disagree as
to the the validity of the statute and
the issue was carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States. The case
was argued in the Supreme Court in
October, 1915, but has not been de-
cided. Following the lower court de-
cisions, Congress appropriated money
for the purpose of continuing the en-
forcement of the law. The Depart
ment of Agriculture is bound to re-
port to the Department Of Justice vio-
lations of the regulations if the Su-
preme Court should declare the law
constitutional All persons should,
therefore, be warned of the danger
they incur from failure to abide by
the regulations.

change of feed sometimes corrects the
trouble. This is particr larly true of
swill fed hogs.
5. If there is any tendency for the
disease to spread in the herd do not
temporize, but immediately treat the
herd with serum from the state col
lege or state live stock sanitary board
Prompt administration of the serum is
essential to success
6. Remember that hog cholera kills
millions of hogs where other diseases
kill thousands. Dismiss from your
mind all thought of such diseases as
lung typhoid ETC., for these are gen
orally merely fanciful designations
given to hog cholera by uninformed
men.

MANY CHILDREN HAVE WORMS

Worms are a common childhood all
ment. They make children irritable,
nervous and restless, besides robbing
the body and mind of proper nourish-
ment. Watch your child. Examine
the stools and at first signs of worms
give your child a treatment of Kicka-
poo Worm Killer. They kill the
worms, act as a laxative and expel
the worms and poisonous waste.
Tone the system and help restore
your child's health and happy dispo-
sition. Only Csc. at your Druggist.

Might Not Be Mental Strain.

General Joffre's quiet humor is typi-
fed in a story which comes from the
trenches. Some members of the gen
erals staff were discussing the mum
from jet black to white since the war
began, and they had decided to their
own satisfaction that the cause was to
be found in mental strain. General
Joffre was asked for his opinion, and,
while agreeing with the conclusion ar
rived at by his officers, naively added
that it was also very difficult in war
time to obtain the toilet accessories
to which one was accustomed in times
of peace!

Hollow Bricks Popular.

During the past few years the use
of hollow blocks and hollow bricks
has extended rapidly. These are much
lighter than solid bricks and effect an
important saving in railway carriage,
but they must be distinguished from
porous bricks. The weight alone is
not sufficient guide, as hollow bricks
are now made which are indistinguish-
able in appearance from solid bricks
When cut or broken their hollowness
is easily seen. On the continent por-
Gus bricks are defined as having a
weight which is notably less than
common bricks, but this definition viii
have to be abandoned now that hol-
low bricks are made in large numbers.

Two English costermongers

Two English costermongers
were pushing their carts along,
when one of them picked up a
torn sheet of newspaper. AS he
stopped and scanned the page
the other called out impatiently:
Jaw, come on! Wot ye tryin'
to do? Ye cawn't read the pyper."
II can SO read the pyper! If ye
don't believe me I'll show ye."
And he read off a few simple
words.
The skeptic pointed to a word
and demanded: Nov, wot's thot
word-can ye tell me"
AN l can so." replied the
reader; "thot's category"
category, is it?" shifted the
other; IAN 'ow do ye tell wot

ance. "Well. I'll tell ye. Ye
takes hit hapart, an We finds the
meanin' hof beach part an then
ye puts hit together hagain."
With dirty index finger he
pointed out the syllables of the
word. Now, cat. Ye knows
wot a cat his?"
The open-mouthed listener
nodded.
"Well, then, next comes e.
Now that won't be no she cat;

was the reply.
"Well, next his CORY. Thot
spells CORY; thot means bloody.

SILK SWEATER REAL NEED
Fashion Has Decreed That Garment
Will Be Worn Until Away Late
In the Autumn.

If you didn't buy a silk sweater at
the beginning of the season, there
are 80 chances in 100 that by now
you wish you had bought one. There
Is really nothing to take the place of
this delightful garment, rare combina-
ton of serviceability, brilliant color
Ing, smartness and comfort. The fact
that everybody Is wearing one makes
tno difference. Smart folk are not,
therefore, deferred. They are as high
ly favored at Newport as at the board
ing house, where the self-supporting
little shop girl trots of for her short
vacation.
If for some reason you did not buy
one earlier in the season, you are
probably rejecting to yourself now
that though you yearn for one, you
had best not buy one. But really you
best had buy one. For fashion au-
thorities say that these delightful gar
ments are to be worn late in the au-
tumn. Many Of them will be trimmed
with imitation marabou and some Of
them with lighter furs. They will
be worn over the heavier sort Of silk
and serge frocks for sports wear un-
til the ground Is covered with snow,
and even after that they will do serv-

HINTS FOR TURKEY RAIsERs
One Of Greatest Difficulties in Sue
cessfuIly Handling Fowls Is
Lack Of Hardness.
(By A. BASS. Minnesota Experiment
Station

(By A. BASS, Minnesota Experiment
Station)
Lack Of vitality and hardness in
the stock is one of the greatest diff
culties in successfully handling tur-
keys. Bronze turkeys are the largest
and hardest of all domestic varieties.
Here are some pointers for turkey
raisers:
1. Lice cause great loss in turkeys.
Kill them on the hens and on the
young turkeys with insect powder, ap-
plying once week when coOped up.
2. Turkeys do best when kept sepa-
rate from chickens. If the two are
kept together the turkeys are likely
to take chicken diseases.
3. The growth of turkeys Is rapid.
Give plenty of nutritious and easily
digested food. For the first five days
feed four quarts of bread crumbs and
one part of boiled eggs. Feed one
meal a day of rolled oats and give all
the sour milk they will drink. Change
gradually, and in three weeks feed six
parts of wheat and two parts of corn,
with rolled oats once day. From the
time the birds are ten weeks old until
maturity give: Wheat, ten parts {;

Time TO SELL THE BROILERS
Surplus cockereIs Of Quickly Maturing
Breeds May Be Marketed to
Good Advantage.

(By A. C. SMITH. Minnesota Experiment
Station.)
Surplus cockerels, particularly those
Of the higher and more quickly matur
ing breeds, may be marketed now to
advantage. Poultry raisers, particu-
larly those not largely engaged in the
occupation, market their surplus cock
erels sooner or later. All realize that
cockerels of the lighter breeds become
a nuisance very early in life and for
that reason it is very desirable to get
rid of such at the broiler age. This
is comparatively easy to do, as broilers
are used at all seasons in the larger
cities. So active, in fact, is the de-
mand for, chicks under two pounds
that often price Of at least two cents
q pound above other quotations is Of
fered for them. . S..
While chicks Of the broiler size are
always salable, 1t must be borne in
mind that they will not always bring
the same prices, and that the present
is the time Of high prices, which-at
the top about July drop soon after
wards, and with accelerated rapidity
at the season advances.

question has strong booster in this
gentleman. who has been practicing
what he breaches for many years past.
Each year he has been in the habit of
feeding Il bunch of purebred baby
becveS for the summer market, and
each time has been successful in get
ting out on the venture. At his farm
he maintains n drove of Hereford cat
tie and aside from the regular breed
ing business, he raises drove of steers
for the killers each year.
4. Many feeders think that .purebreds
are for breeding and most anything
will do for the killers, but cases of
this sort argue well for cattle of good
blood to be finished for the market.
The feeder vino recently made these
remarks is emphatic in saying that n
pays to raise purebreds for feeding
purposes, and his advice to young men
just getting into the livestock business
is to get start on Il purebred herd rs
soon as possible. A good start short
ems the road to n successful ending in
Il business of this sort.

ly assume the obligation resulting
from the management of this great ma
tiOnal event.
1.-THE time has arrived when high
way conventions should have more of
an official character. There should be
ship in the United States at least once
year, held under the charge of the
chief highway official of the township.
There should be at least one county
meeting held every year In each coun-
ty, under the charge Of the county en-
gineer or the chief highway official.
There should be one state meeting in
each state each year, under the
charge of the state highway commits
sion. Then the local automobile clubs,
the good roads associations and others
could cooperate in these conventions
as their interest and location war
ranted. The township, county and
state meetings should be held before
the national meeting, so that at each
of the smaller gatherings delegates
could be named to 60 to the national
convention, which In reality would be
