GAME Law SUMMARY FOR
TRAPPERS AND HUNTERS

WASHINGTON Jan. 16.-To aid
trappers and hunters the U. S. De-
partment OF Agriculture has issued
Farmers Bulletin 1922, Laws Re-
lating to Fur Bearing Animals,
which is summary of legislation in
the United States, Canada, and New
foundland, relating to trapping, open
seasons, propagation, and bounties.
Under the stimulus of high prices
there is always danger that trappers
will deplete the trapping grounds and
permanently decrease the number OF
fur animals, the Federal specialists
say, Regulations and seasons should
be carefully observed, so that the fur
supply of the future shall not be en-
dangered.
For the fiscal year ended June 80,
1918. the foreign trade of the United
States in raw and manufactured furs
reached the largest total in the his
tory of the country. While exports
were only s1S.9OS,6Sf as compared
with s15, 100 for 1917, the imports
were $3S,3S9,372 as compared with
s21,553,s75 for 1917 The toal for
eign trade in furs increased over 40
per cent.

the business transactions of the coun-

The different commodities of the

traffic in real estate seems to be a
steady stream. The mule business,
the cattle and hog business, are also
