new deer HUNTING LAWS
IMPORTANT ALTERATIONS OF
THE GAME LAWS
These Regulations Should Be Mem
Orized By All Hunters Before At
tempting TO Shoot Deer

Inc open season IOI ueeE HuDJlng IS
with US.
This year the rules committee has
changed the bylaws governing the
sport so that the innocent bystander
gets as fair chance as the deer.
In the first place no lady deer may
be shot. Lady deer have no horns
consequently hunters have been hav-
ing great difficulty distinguishing
them from New Zealand lambs, Mex
lean hairless dogs, stray heifers, and
inoffensive pedestrians.
This year only buck deer, which
may be easily told by the presence
of horns, are to be eligible for shoot
ing purposes. And to throw a safe
guard about natives with long ears.
the new rules snecify that horns must
be more than three inches long.
A 3-inch horn is about the size of a
5-cent cigar, and looks very much
like one. Consequently it viii be ad-
visable for farmers to avoid roaming
at large smoking anything but cigar
cites in the deer belt
Why anybody should want to shoot
a deer with only three-inch horns is a
mystery. You can't hang hat on
that size
However, the plans and specifica-
tions call for 3-inch antlers and it is
up TO every hunter to take along an
official measurer. Any tailor will do.
The first thing to do when sighting
a deer is to determine whether it has
horns. The hunter and his tailor
should sneak up on their hands and
knees in single file until within or
chestra-circle range. If the deer
happens to be facing the wrong way
the hunter must get the deer to about
face in accordance with the traffic
laws.
If the animal has no horns the hunt
er should apologize and withdraw
If it has horns the next step is to
take their measure. Unless great
speed is shown the deer may take the
hunters measure.
Measuring a buck deer's horns is
no cinch. The hunter may employ any
number of subterfuges, but the usual
step is to attract and hold the deer's
attention by dangling an Elks' club
charm before its eyes and murmuring
Come bessie, nice bossie," etc. When
the deer's confidence has been won the
tailor should climb upon its back and
proceed to measure the horns.
The tailor should call off the meas
urements after the fashion employed
when measuring a man for a suit. In
no case, however, should a tailor put
chalk marks on a deer's horns for al
terations.
If the horns are under three inches
he may shoot the tailor but not the
deer. ~
If they are inches long he may
shoot both the tailor and the deer, and
he probably will.
Another new rule this year is that
only one deer must be taken per per-
son. And no more than two innocent
bystanders. In the past the limit has
been three deer and six natives.
The rules governing the right of one
deer hunter to shoot another deer hunt
er are unchanged. You've gotta leave
'em some privileges!-Ex

WITH THE COUNTY AGENT
Thanksgiving


We, living in a country where want
and hunger are not known, can little
appreciate how blessed we are. There
is no country on earth that has so
much in store for its people. Just
think in these troublesome times when
other nations know not where TO go or
turn for food, clothing, shelter, and
safety because of war, plague, and
the low ebb of their country's rating,
we are swimming in wealth, food and
clothing. We are cursing because of
low prices, are burning cotton because
of big crop, wool is stored up by the
100000 tons, corn, wheat and all foods
are plenty and yet we are infected by
germs of dissatisfaction. We know
we have our troubles, problems, and
obstacles before us, but they are
mighty small as compared to other
countries. We do need readjustment
and more fair play. 1t will come and
one of the necessities to bring it about
is TO trample on greed and be thank
full for the bountiful showers of bless
ings that appear to especially favor
our Glorious United States.
We. as a state are also especially
blessed, because of its location, its eli
mate and its grandeur. Because Of
diversified farming we never have fail
ure, and are blessed with a large crop
this year.
Vernon county where its whole pop
ualti0n lives solely off Of the fat Of
the land, is blessed with wealth, beau
ty and blessedness. 1t is a Garden Of
Eden itself. Its people are engaged in
the most blessed occupation in the
world, which is farming. There is 10
one so close to God as the farmer
He lives the most natural life ,breathes
the purest air and takes nourishment
of the choicest foods Yes, we are
thankful in Vernon county. because of
the Showers of Blessings the Lord Of
Hosts has poured upon. US. May we
be so constituted as individuals, fam
lies, communities, counties, states and
preciate the gifts given unto us.
To All Pure Bred Live Stock Breeders
of Vernon County
The County Agent is going to have
his report printed in pamphlet form
and to do so he must have the cooper
alton of all the pure bred live stock
breeders in the county. The printing
of the report viii cost considerable
money and by giving the pure bred
breeders a chance to advertise in it,
the expense can be covered and every
body win be the better for it. If the
report was nothing more than a good
medium it would help ev-
cry farmer in the county.
The Potato Show and the National
Fat Stock Show
The County Agent is very much in
terested in knowing how many farm
ers want to go as a group to the State
Potato show at Milwaukee and the
National Fat Stock Show at Chicago.
At least ten or fifteen farmers should
go in a group from Vernon county.
II upon reading this you feel you want
to 60, let the county agent know at
once. Several farmers have already
their desires and if enough
will 90 a good company, an interesting
time viii be assured, as the Fat Stock
Show has many things of interest for
every farmer.
