The statement has been made
that home grown stock could not
be slaughtered for this winter s
supply of meat, as only thirty
days supply would be allowed in

"The home curing Of meats suf-
ficient to supply all reasonable
needs of a family is an act of
thrift and one to be commended.
The food administration will not
interfere in any way with the Gus

among farmers, particularly, Of
killing some of their home grown
animals and curing the meat for
their home use during the win

DUCK HUNTING
Season Will Open Sept. 18TH.
Better Protection This Year

The migratory waterfowl and
shore birds are to. have better
protection throughout the United
States and Canada this year than
ever before owing to the treaty
between the United States and
Great Britain which has been rat
fled by both countries and for
the enforcement of which laws
have been passed and executive
orders have been promulgated.
On July 81 President Wilson
made public the regulations UNI
der the law which will govern
the taking of migratory birds IN
the United States. Under these
regulations the open seasons are
named, bag limits fixed, and other
restrictions provided for. These
are intended as the maximum sea-
sons and limits and do not super.
eede the state laws unless the lat
ter provide greater latitude.
Open Season
The open season in Minnesota
will begin Sept. 16 and close as
provided in the state law-Sept.
80 on prairie chicken, sharp tailed
grouse, Wilson, or jacksnipe,
greater and lesser yellowlegs-
Nov. 80 on wild duck, geese, coot,
gailinules, rails. The quail season
opens Nov. / and closes Nov. 80.
Daily Shooting Limits
The daily limit for shooting mi
gratory birds is from one-half
hour, before sunrise until sunset.
This is federal regulation only
Sunrise on Sept 16 is given as
5 SO and on Oct. Is as 6 :2S; Nov.
Is as 7:10 and on Nov. 80 as
7:29. Sunset on the above dates
are as follows: 5:55, 5:28, 4:43
and 4:32. From September 16 TO
October 26 inclusive, add one
hour to bring to clock time.
Bag Limits
The state law must be observed
as to bag limits, it providing for
smaller limits than the federal
law. Hunters may take In one
day not more than Is wild ducks,
10 quail, 5 of any or all other va
rieties combined. Not more than
IS prairie chickens may be taken
in the season, or 80 quail.
Teeth In the Federal Law
The new Federal Migratory
Bird Treaty Act contains provi'
ions for its enforcement similar
to the manner in which the state
game laws are enforced. Fed
,eral wardens will have the power
to make arrests and seizures and
1tos institute prosecution before a

in the Field, Oct. 3O.-(By Mail. -
German soldiers on the British sector
of the Western front evidently were
not as we'll off as in the matter of
food as their brothers who fought on
the French and American sectors.
The correspondent of The Associated

ample, that the soldiers food con-
sisted largely of. black bread, pork
fat and raw turnips.
In the st. Mihiel section, on the
other hand, the Germans had biscuit
made of white flour, compressed beef,
butter and cheese. A part of these
rations had come from Russia, hav-
ing been sent originally to that coun-
try for the Russian army by the Uni
ted States: In the French sector from
Rheims to, Verdun, the food gener-
ally of the German. forces was of bet
ter grade and greater in quantity
than that Of the men fighting in tn
