Local Sportsmen who have been OPP
posed to the regulations under the fed

seasons for hunting waterfowl, and
the no-hunting restrictions on the Mis-
sissippi river, and who are awaiting
the decision Of the United States SUI

that the court has not passed on the
law but has ordered the case back to
the docket for re-argument. This &C.
ton Of the court will mean delay Of
at least a year before a decision Is
reached
The most logical reason advanced
for the courts action seems to be that
it is divided on the matter, and that
it was thought best to defer action I'M
til a full court were present to hear
the arguments. Both friends and en-
emies of the statute in it's present
form generally concede that the delay
on the part Of the court indicates that
the law will be sustained.
The bureau Of biological survey,
which has charge Of the law is pre-
pairing to modify the regulations in

and already has sent w. F. Bancroft.

investigation through the states af-

as to conditions regarding hunting,
and to confer with sportsmen relative
to proposed changes, which will at
any rate, overcome in part the many
objections voiced by the nimrods.
Many Of the hunters Of this state
have made a demand for spring shoot

any consideration of these demands
will be given by the bureau, because

the door, which position is regulated
by the screw or nail at the lower In

COST OF FARM IMPLEMENTS
Machines Make Money When In uss
and Are Expensive When Idle
Other Striking Facts.

Many facts which will be interest
ing to farmers were determined by
the federal department OF agriculture
In a recent study OF farm machinery
costs. Among the more striking facts
are the following:
Machines make money for you
when they are In use; they cost you
money when they stand idle.
"A machine makes the greatest
possible profit for It's owner when
it Is used continuously In profitable
work till 1t is worn out. Then it is
really worn QUIT does not rot or
rust out.
The average farm implement Is
only about half worn out by use
alone. The rest OF the wear IL due
to rust and decay.
Acres count In the life OF machine

It was found that the cost per acre
covered Is the real measure OF the
value Of the service given by an I'M
plement and that, on the average. the
more acres covered per year, the more

LEIGH ONCE HIGHLY PRICED
In Days That Have Long Gone BY the
Bioodsucker Was Considered
Of Value.

Our great-grandfathers regarded the
leech as sort Of flrst-aid outfit in
case OF sickness. In the days when
blood-letting was popular panacea
the physician would have worried less
over the loss of his pill box than over
the death of this little worm. And
so long as blood-letting was popular
there was nothing to match the eff
cheney Of the leech.
Nature fitted him for the task to
which the physician adapted him.
Long before he was used on humans
the leech was performing operations
OF his own on fish, frogs and other
neighbors OF his in the mud and slime
at the bottom Of his marsh home.
His operating tools consist Of cup
like sucker at the end Of his tail and
another at his mouth. Also at his
mouth are three semicircular, sharp
toothed jaws, which he works togeth-
er like saw, With these he cuts his
way through the scales Of q fish and
reaches the blood.
Then the leech's wormlike body be-
gins to expand He has II pairs OF

all these before he is satisfied. He

four to five hens kept in flocks Of so or
more, while more trap nests per hen
are necessary in smaller focks. The
hens are banded with numbered bands.
and a record is kept of their egg pro-
duction. The nests should be visited
at least three times daily, and prefer
