New Game Warden Favors Game Preserves.

George W. Miles, recently appointed state commissioner of fisheries and game, believes the farmers of the state should take steps in behalf of the quail. He thinks the men on the farms throughout the state should throw an armful of fodder upon a log in the woods or against a fence for a shelter to “Bob White,” and further than this should see that the bird has food during the winter. Mr. Miles in explaining his attitude toward the birds of the state and the game preserve question said: “Mr. Sweeney, my predecessor, has established more than 160 game-pre-serves in the state, containing each from 2,500 to 8,000 acres. These he has created by inducing the farmers owning contiguous lands to sign an agreement that they will prevent all hunting on their lands for a term of years. These preserves he has stocked with birds.

I believe the plan to be a good one, and shall continue it. If I can induce the farmers to co-operate with me, I shall establish many more such preserves. Each of them ought to become a breeding place not only for the new varieties of birds placed in them, but for our native quail and pheasants also. The country round about them ought to become well supplied with game shortly, for it is a habit of these birds to scatter widely at mating time. Provision will be made for the care and feeding of them during the winter season. » “Besides. I hope to induce the farmers to take a kindlier interest in the Welfare of their good little friend, “Bob White,” particularly the farmers of the northern part of the state, where the winters often are too rigorous for him. Indeed, a little farther north, over in Michigan, where his cousin, the partridge, abounds, and the environment for him otherwise would be ideal, but where winters are a little more rigorous, he is not found at all. “ Bob White’ will, survive cold weather if he has been well fed and his little body has a reserve of fat, but he can not withstand cold following famine, when the snows have lain long and he has been denied his daily food until he has become poor. “If the farmer would only give him, at the beginning of winter, an armful of corn fodder, thrown upon a log in the woods or against a fence, for a shelter, placing a little food beneath It *t the time to toll him there, Snd" then, when ’the deep snows come, would place food for him in this, his winter home, the quail would survive any Indiana winter. The farmer himself would have his reward in the companionship of the birds the following season and the consciousness of having done an act of kindness to a fellow creature.”

OFFICERS ON THE JUMP AT FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON.

Captain and Lieutenants-of Company M are Kept Busy from Morning Till Night. Fort Benjamin Harrison, June 22. Speaking of high privates in the rear rank, Captain Healey and Woodworth and Tuteuf, of the Rensselaer militia company, are acting in that capacity this week in a school for officers being conducted by the regular army instructors at Fort Benjamin Harrison. The instructors are largely detailed here from the war and staff college at Fort Leavenworth, although several of the 10th Infantry officers, stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison, are also among the instructors. The school was planned by the war department and includes all the infantry officers of all ranks in this state and a detail of about 75 from each Ohio and Michigan. The officers are -organized into provisional companies without regard to rank and it fell -to the writer to become a member of company A, while both Woodworth and Tuteur are in company C. Among others in A company are Colonels Harry B. Smith and Bowman, Lieutenant Colonel Theo. F. Louden, Majors Harrison, Branch, Freyermouth, and others Major Mranch was the former speaker of the house of representatives and to see the willingness With which he works is to have a very high regard for him.

Wednesday we were out on a problem of advance guard and Major Branch, in the capacity of a private, was with the advance party under Lieutenant Kruger, of the regular army. He was instructed to double time back to the support, a distance of 300 yards and deliver a message that the advance party had been fired upon from the right front. I was with the support and was certainly amused when I beheld the tall, gaunt form of Major Branch racing down the road toward us. He was quite out of breath .and great beads of prespiration stood out on his face when he delivered his message. In less time than it takes to tell it, Captain Aultman, the regular army officer in command of the support, had rushed us through a defile and deployed us on a rise in the ground from which we were able to open fire on and drive back an imaginary foe. Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, Majors and Captains, comprising our company, had crowded through grass and weeds and had some tough sledding in reaching a place from which they could fire. A few moments later a tired lot of near-officers were gathered in the shade of a friendly cluster of trees and the movement discussed along with the possible happenings in advance guard, Then a retrograde movement was taken up, imagining that the main force had been forced to retire and that we, as a battalion, were covering the retreat. Then came deployment as skirmishers, the establishment of outposts, the employment of patrols, etc. These are daily work-outs, that coupled with paper work, lectures, etc , keep us going from revielle to retreat, and after evening mess until 10 o’clock, and it is a tired lot of soldiers that seek their tents-only to be awakened at 5:30 o’clock by the morning guns. The regular army officers are a fine lot, selected for their special fitness as instructors and the half-practical work greatly aids the theoretical study in the text books. As a fat-reducer it is great stuff and there are a lot of heavy-weights under training. Good cheer prevails and dis cipline is the watchword. Any insurrection or disrespect would meet summary dealing and it is probable that a better behaved lot of soldiers were never assembled together. The school closes Saturday night. * The regular instruction maneuver camp for all members of the guard will take place in September, the dates being from the 6th to the 15th inclusive. GEORGE H. HEALEY
