SPARE THE DEER.
Contemporary Calls for Conservation in
That Line.

Contemporary Calls for Conservation IL
That Line.
The deer season is at hand and there
is opportunity for every hunter to dc
his bit There are several ways in
which he can do it with little incon.
venience or hardship to himself, lhir-
ty-three states have an open season for
deer this year, the other fifteen having
no time because deer have been exter-
minated or the stock has been so re-
duced that the season is closed. in ff-
teen of these thirty-three states that per-
nit the hunting OF deer both bucks
and does are allowed to be killed. In
the other eighteen states the hunting
of bucks only is permitted, thus saving
the breeders.
1t is particularly essential in these
war days, with the necessity for saw
ing and preserving our food supply, that
the female deer should not be killed off
in those states where there is no buck
law There is no hope for an increase
if the breeding stock is destroyed Where
female deer are protected wild deer in
erase rapidly. Our neighboring state of
Vermont experimental with the buck law
and found out. Persistent hunting ex-
terminated the deer in that state Pur-
chases of Adirondack deer were made and
released in the Green mountain state. a
closed season was put on them for nine
teen wears, and deer became so num-
erous the buck law, that in one period
of ten years 10000 deer fell to the hunt
er's gun Pennsylvania and other states
have had the same experience a doe
spared this fall means one more fawn
as well as one more doe next year.
Doubtless il is too late for legislatures
to forbid the killing of does this season,
rs hunting began last month in Oregon
and in most parts OF California; this
month it opens in the rest of California
and in Idaho South Carolina and Vir-
ginia, and next month in Maine, New
Hampshire, New York, Georgia, Mon
tana, Wyoming and New Mexico; in No
vember IN Michigan, Minnesota, Wiscon
sin and several of the southern states,
and in December in Pennsylvania.
In some of those states where tine
legislature does not meet the law per- !
mits the governor to suspend the game
in the case of drought and
for special reasons, and doubtless a proc I
lamation or a plea urging that only |
buck deer be killed would have good I
effect. This would entail no great hard I
ship on the hunter. for in about one-third 4
Of the states the law allows the hunter
one deer a season and in most others
two. An appeal to sportsmen by the
governors of the various states that
permit the killing of both male and fe-
male deer. pointing out the need OF con
,ervation while the war lasts, would UNI
loubtedly meet with generous response.

CURRENT COMMENT
High Time to Wake Up.

Washington, we are told, now realizes
the need of closer scrutiny of outgoing
messages Of all sorts The revelations of
German duplicity and deviltry in Argen
tina have awakened our national capital
to the fact that our enemy is really ca
pable of treachery, deceit and violation
OF international comfy and international
| law, and is therefore not to be trusted /,
and to the fact that there is a possibility
/ of highly improper matter being trans
mitted by cable under false pretences
The incident reminds us of another, of
many years ago. AT the very beginning
of the Civil war. one William Tecumseh
Sherman, then not particularly eonspic-
uous officer of the army criticised the
government call for 10000 troops as
inadequate, and insisted that we should
get a million men into the field at the
earliest possible moment, to quell an in
surrection which imperiled the nation
and to cope with a war which would in
volye the whole country and last for
years, For that, Sherman was laughed
at by some, and by some was regarded
as a lunatic; and for a time his com
mand in the army was suspended pend.
ing consideration of his mental condi-
ton.
In like manner, those who have given
warning of German intrigues and con-
spiracies in this country, and of the ac-
tiyities Of German spies, and have urged
the need OF placing of alien enemies in
concentration camps and of exercising
a close scrutiny over all messages sent
out by this country, even to neutral
lands, have been decried and denounced
as alarmists and extremists, who saw a
Teutonic bogy in every shadow And so.
for months after our recognition of a
state of war with Germany, German
subjects have been as free as ever to
go wherever they wish, and to send
whatever messages they please out of
this country--to neutral lands, of course,
thus assuring us that their messages
were harmless, precisely as the German I
to Argentina sent perfectly /
harmless" messages through the neutral T
channel of Sweden
Recent revelations demonstrate that /
these so-caled alarmists have been no i
more wrong than Sherman was wrong in /
1861. 1t should be realized that the
government which regarded the Belgian
treaty as a scrap Of paper" is not to
be trusted TO respect international law;
that the government whose heads and
chief agents have repeatedly and deliber-
ately lied is not worthy to be believed,
and that we are fighting foe equ lily re-
sourceful and INSCRIPTIONS, which will
never let such thing as truth or hon
esty or humanity stand in the way of its

nation awake should act II is time to
be on our guard with respect to every

mashed and cooked in their own juice
without adding water, and if butter OF
a fine texture is wanted the pulp should
be put through a colander or coarse wire
sieve. To each measure of pulp add a
half measure of sugar. Peach butter can
be made also from dried or canned
peaches Lemon juice in the proportion
of one lemon to 10 pounds OF peaches
may be added to give tartness.
Plum butter is made like peach but
ter except that the skins and pits are
separated by rubbing the pulp through
colander or wire sieve after the plums
have been cooked Free-stone plums,
however. may be treated exactly like
peaches.

HOMEMADE FRUIT BUFFERS.
Surplus Fruits May Be Conserved in
This Wsy.

Surplus Fruits May Be Conserved in
This Way.
| As final drive en- fruit preserving the
United States department of agriculture
urges the making of home made fruit
buffers This is recommended not only
TO those who grow fruit, but to those in
the city who may take advantage OF
large supplies and cheap prices In a
great many cases it will be possible for
city people to get from outlying farms
fruit which might otherwise be wasted.
Various fruit buffers recommended are
apple butter with cider, apple butter
without cider, apple butter with grape
Juice, apple butter with lemons, pear
butter, peach butter, plum butter, and
Garfield butter made with plums and
peaches. With the exception of good
preserving kettle very little equipment
is needed for the preparation of such
buffers.
Apple Butter.
There is no better way to use good
apples, says the department, than to
make them into butter. The sound por.
tions of windfalls, wormy, and bruised
apples may also be used. The better
the apple the better the butter will be.
In apple butter with cider either fresh
sweet cider. or commercial sterilized
cider should be used, after being
boiled down to about half its original
quantity The peeled and sliced apples
may be cooked in the boiled cider or they
may be first made into apple sauce which
is then cooked in cider. It usually takes
about equal quantities of sweet cider and
sliced apples to make butter Of the
right consistency. In other words, two
gallons of sweet cider should be boiled
down to one gallon, and two gallons of
the prepared apples should be added to
it either uncooked or as apple sauce. The
two essentials of good apple butter are
long, slow cooking-from four to six
hours and frequent stirring. If sugar
is used, it should be added after the
cooking is about two thirds done. About
one pound OF sugar il the usual proper
ton for each gallon of apple butter but !
more or less may be used TO suit the |
taste. The butter may be spiced with (
cinnamon, cloves and allspces, or with I
any one Of the three, the spices being
TIRED in when the cooking is finished. I
While still holding hot the butter /
should be packed in sterilized glass re-
'eptacles, or in stone jars, with thorough
precautions against spelling as with any
,ther preserves.
Without Cider.
Good apple butter may be made with
,ut cider In this case enough water is
.dded to make thin apple sauce, Brown
ugar rather than white sugar is ordi
larily used. If grape flavor is de-
ired, it may be obtained by the use of
rape juice in the proportion of one
,ound to each gallon of the peeled and
Iced apple There should also be added
cup Of brown sugar and one-fourth tea
poonful salt When the desired thick I
ess is obtained, one teaspoonful CHINA
non is stirred in.
Pear butter is made like apple butter
Without the cider.
In making peach butter it is desira
lie to put the peaches into wire basket
nd dip them in boiling water for few {
econds until the skin slips, then dip
he peaches into cold water, peel them,
nd pit them. Well-ripened free.stone
caches are best. They should be /
