MILK ODORS

Silage odors are absorbed largely
through the body of the COW rathe,
than from the air, according to tests
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. However, these
odors may be practically or entirely
removed by the aeration of the milk
while it is still warm. Rather heavy
feeds of silage may be given to cows
one hour after milking without any
undesirable flavors or odors passing
into the milk. When green alfalfa
was fed in relatively large quantities
one hour before milking marked fla
vors and odors were noticed in the
milk, but when as much as 80 pounds
per cow was fed after milking there
was no effect on the milk from the
next milking.

RABBIT BOUNTY FUND

"AA DOOASAA TONO
The State Game Department to
date has paid out $3.50 for the release
of 430 rabbits that were trapped by
residents of the counties during the
hunting season.
At the same time it has purchased
5000 cottontails from western brokers
at 30 cents apiece. The $3.50 used to
pay for the release of rabbits caught
by trappers would have purchased 537
of the imported rabbits to restock the
game supply
Rabbit bounty claims have been
coming in at a lively rate, almost
equaling those on hawks since the
closing of the game season. State
Game Warden E. Lee LeCompte an
nounced about the middle Of the open
season that he would pay 81 for every
rabbit trapped and held for release af-
ter the season closed.
The theory that one live rabbit is
worth two dead ones apparently ap-
pealed to the countians. Those who
were following the rabbit dogs for q
living apparently saw more profit In
trapping than hunting. Rabbits sell
dom brought moro than 80 cents a.
piece, dressed in the market. No such
price was ever paid to the hunters for
the animals. They have been salts
fed with anything from rs to so cents.
Mr.. LeCompte's announcement Of
the bounty offer has given results. It
saved the bunny from the frying or
stewing pan to be put back on the rack
again for next seasons shooting and
trapping. The claims have been pour
ing in from the district game wardens.
Mr.. LeCompte's own county-Dor-
chester-takes the lead. The trappers
down there have already been paid
claims on 13r rabbits. Kent and Car
roll come next with claims Of $74 each.
Caroline has received $28.
The trappers take the rabbits to the
district deputy game wardens before
claims are placed. These deputies
take the animals to some section Of
the same county where the game is
supposed to be scarce. 1t is a matter
left entirely with the deputy. After
the animals are released he files
claims for the individuals who trapped
the rabbits.
Warden LeCompte has already
placed an order for 5000 cottontail
rabbits to be delivered this winter.
These rabbits will cost him $4,000 and
the shipment is guaranteed.

BIGGEST HOG

What is said to have been the big
gest hog ever killed in the Shenando-
ah Valley, and perhaps in the State,
has just been slaughtered by R. D.
Koontz, a farmer of Marksville dis
trict, 10 miles south of Luray. For
more than two months the hog has
been visited every day by large num-
bers of people from this and adjoin-
ing counties. A pen had been spec
tally built for the monster and the
inclosure rocked and swayed like a
ship whenever the hog ventured across
the floor. From some cause the hog
maintained an animal instinct that the
floor of the pen was not sufficiently
strong to bear its weight and it would
only venture across it with the utmost
precaution. When killed the hog was
found to weigh S56 pounds.-Luray,
