oh, you Chinaman. Arrayed in your feathered garb of autumn or golden tints. shapely and attractive, your scintillating, irridescent colorings arc reflected in the sunlight making the China or ring -necked pheasant one ot the most attractive birds awing. Inn ported into the United States in 1881 by the late Judge Q. N. Denney who was a United States consular agent at Shanghai China, the first consignment of ten cocks and eighteen hens were liberated in Lynn county, Oregon. This little aggregation of birds increased so rapidly that it was estimated that 50,
 900 birds were killed on the opening day of the season in 1892, eleven years after their original introduction. In Europe pheasan ntS are raised in con- finement for sporting purposes or fall shooting. The eggs are matched by the incubator route, as. hens are not
 pecially shifty about covering or pro- tecting their young during storms or indictment weather. Pheasants are very easily protected under state laws. AS cocks are so distinctively different from the hens, they are easily dis
 tinguished by the hunter before firing his shot. The male Phasianus tor
 quatus. with tail measurement attain the length of 36 inches. They are slug gish in their habits compared to our ruffed grouse, and usually try to
 cape by running or hiding rather than by taking wing. When they do fly
 they go in a direct line, making most excellent targets for wing shooting
 They soon become acclimated and fur
 nish an attractive days sport even though the bag limit in all states is limited number. On the Pacific coast it is claimed they have become so nu
 merous they are a menace to gardens and growing crops in those localities. IT 7f1re x-a1n ar asycp1 .,c~1- ton of crop savers. The "Chinks' nat : uraI inclinations are along the lines of socia bility: they are seldom found a great distance from the haunts of men, and barnyards soon become their mec- ca. Domestic hens are a source of es
 peciol interest and attention from the male ring neck. He will fight an in
 truding rooster to a successful finish. The polygamous cuss carefully selects and jealously guards his harem. Tn no locality are the China pheasant fount more numerous than the Rogue River valley, adjacent 10 the city of Med ford, Ore. A pheasant hunt was booked for the opening day of the season on the head waters of Antelope creek, 14 miles northeast of Medford. a reported ''Chink'' mecca, where they had been industriously uprooting and destroying farmers crops prior to the opening of the ten-day season. October 1 to 10, inclusive. As the shooting guest of '.Toggery BilT' of Medford. excel lent shot and outdoor enthusiast l was assured welcome against the ever present mo trespassing" signs that decorated fences. Tillers of the soil made us most welcome we were the first scatter gun artists to arrive.

for the cashier is an electric coffee pulveriZer-for at this coffee house you can buy the identical Brazilian coffee that you drink.
 The young Brazilian who is in charge of the place, which will probably grow into chain of like coffee restaurants. is gazing into the future with clear business eye, apparently. for although there is no sign announcing the fact, no one person will be served with more than three cups of coffee. This might seem absurd at first glance, but says Salazar:
 Ut is a well known fact that there were coffee topers in the days of the famous coffee houses of England. The gin shop owners took advantage of this fact and brought about the down fall of the coffee shops We are talk ing no chance of such situation arising"

THE PRICE OF MILK

(F'rom the Tulsa. World.)
 Milk, in the heart of the COW coun- try is selling for 9 cents a quart. Tn New York, the most expensive city in the world il is selling for 15 cents d quart.
 A few weeks ago New York milk vendors began pushing the price up- New York housewives agreed to buy only such milk as was absolutely nee essary. From bottle a day they dropped to two bottles a week-some of them one bottle a week-except where there were children to be pro vided for.
 Then the board of health authorities threw their influence to the house wives. They arranged with one of the largest dairies in the city to sell six thousand quarts of pasteurized milk each day for 15 cents a quart-on the cash and carry basis.
 The other milk vendors had long be- fore this felt the effect of the boy colt. Thousands of homes had discon- tinued the use of milk altogether The price ceased to advance. then faltered for few days before starting down.
 Of course six thousand quarts or milk in New York is only a drop in the bucket. But the force of that eN- ample is powerful. even in New York

We could see them reading through
 the patch ahead. They finally arose
 for a lazy flight. and four male birds
 were folded, all striking the ground
 about the same time. Our human re-
 trievers failed to drop to shot but
 rushed the birds making a rapid and
 satisfactory gather. After our first fusilade, a $. O. $. was sent out by
 the survivors of the flock, causing every Chink" to consult his caledar to find the open season was on. Birds
 then became willy, cautions and scarce. taking wing. until they were out of the killing zone. We hunted indus triously, occasionally gleaning an old cock who had forgotten his safety first tactics. We worked out the swails. willow cops and inrrigation ditches. an occasional whirr fol- lowed by close sex observation before firing a shot which might land one in jail or invite an excessive fine. The grey or quaker shades of the female birds was their passport to safety.
 The male birds had a happy faculty of introducing a tree or brush in the
 line of vision, while the female seemed to always select the open. Our legal limit of five cock birds (being illegal to
 kill the females) brought to bag, our efforts were diverted to quail. We To- cated both the mountain and valley varieties which offered most difficult shooting, due to their selection of in accessible haunts and ability to cover distance with velocity in a rail fence flight through dense thickets. There was sex embargo on quail and we soon bagged our legal limit of ten birds. Four teal ducks, manu bun nies, one squirrel, five pheasants and ten quail was our donation to the
 ''mulligan stew" prepared at the Elks l club for our friends and selves that evening.

MARSHALL'S ANSWERS TO NM.
 RODS

c. How fast do targets fly in tour naments? Is there a regulation to throw them? What do you think Is the best load for target breaking in all kinds of weather?-Daniel Nolan, Washington, D. c.
 A. The flight is due to spring ten sion and direction of the wind, hence an answer to your question would not be accurate and of no benefit to your self or the public. It is necessary for every trspshot to read his targets after he arrives upon the grounds. At that time number of conditions should be studied, digested and mentally worked out. Note the lay of the land. If you find the taps set lower than the score line. or the wind is blowing from the score toward the traps you must hold a little below the flying object. If the traps are set above the score line and the wind blowing in the face of the traps, your aim must be a little high. study wind and ground conditions es- innate target velocity and what the wind is doing to the targets. If they are cutting capers, it is usually ad- visable to quicken your time. It may be necessary to read every target after 1t leaves the trap. Your ability to ac- curately estimate and take advantage of existing conditions is what makes you an expert shot. The popular load for those who are successful in trap shooting. and used under all conditions is drams of bulk or 24 grains of dense powder. i4 ounces of chilled 12 shot
 Q. Do most of the successful pro- fessional and amateurs shoot with both eyes open. and why do they do it :? Frank Avery. Baltimore, Md.
 A. Yes, successful trapshots. as n class. shoot with both eyes open. A shotgun artist shoots targets just as he would throw d rock at a. dog, shoot bow and arrow, or point finger. Both eyes open is the logical way to shoot targets.

AM MERICAN FARMERS

Let us forget the old, moth-eate accusation that the American farmer lags behind farmers of European lands in per-man production For it isn't true.
 The report of the L. s. secretary of Agriculture says:
 Taking both acreage and yield per acre into consideration, the average American farmer produced 21s times as much as the average Belgian farm CT. 2.3 times as much as the English. B. times as much as the French. ia times as much as the German. and over times as much the Italian"
 And the American farmer is going better every year. The average yield per acre has increased about one-half of one per cent year during the last quarter century. The time Is coming when the American farmer will be, not only the largest per man" producer of food. but the biggest per acre harvester.
