HUNGARIAN BIRDS COME
TO LYON COUNTY

Fifty-four Hungarian cartridges,
game birds imported from Europe,
are to be released in Lyon County
within the next two weeks, according
to word received last Wednesday by
Dr. Ward Akester from Geo. w. Nc
Cullough, state game and fish COM
missioner. This will be the second
shipment of these birds to be releas-
ed in Lyon County during the last
few years.
DR.. Akester said the birds would
arrive here during the next week or
ten days. They will not be placed on
exhibition, as it is necessary to keep
them quiet as possible while in the
crate, but will be released in terri
tories frequented by the same type Of
bird. Several covies are known to ex-
list in the county as a result of the
st release of Hungarian cartridges
re few years ago.
Commissioner Mccullough is an &C
tive worker in attempting to restore
Minnesota's game facilities, and is
the man who first started importa-
ton of the Hungarian partridge to
this state.
Everyone is urged to protect the
birds, as their value is 81 each, and
if necessary, to feed them during the
winter months.-Marshal News Mes

USE GULL TIMBER FOR
WINTER FUEL SUPPL

Woodlots should be handled like
dairy herds, advises Parker O.. And.
erson, extension forester, University
Farm, St. Paul. Scrub trees, like
scrub cows, should be removed, but
the best producers should be proper
ly encouraged and managed. This
is good thought for farmers to
keep in mind when cutting their win
ter fuel supply, says Mr.. Anderson
who adds that trees for fuel wood
should be chosen with a view to help
ing the remaining timber crop to
grow into good, marketable lumber.
For fuel wood cutting, farmers are
advised to remove dead trees which
are still standing and are sound;
trees which are overlapping OF
crowding out smaller, valuable spec
les; trees which are diseased OF
crooked; and are limby and short
boiled. These latter make knotty
lumber and short-length material of
low value. If trees are cut for logs
or lumber, Mr.. Anderson recommends
close utilization by cutting up the
tops and limbs for fuel wood.
Experience and laboratory tests
both show that fuel wood will not
give maximum heat in either store or
fireplace unless it has been proper
ly seasoned before being burned, says
Mr.. Anderson. Therefore after wood
is cut for fuel purposes, the first step
should be to dry it quickly. This may
be accomplished by placing it in
narrow piles, kept off the ground by
means of limbs, branches or poles
placed underneath.
