Haying for Deer.

Winters when the snow is deep- for long stretches of time deer congregate in yards in the Adirondacks and many of the weaker ones die of starvation. Their skeletons may be found in vartous parts of the great wilderness when the snows are gone. This year game protectors have been cutting tons of marsh hay on the beaver meadows in the remote sections of the Adiroßdacks and stacking it in sheltered places to be fed to the deer next winter when the snow is so deep that other food is not obtainable. The conwflTsave the llves of hundreds of deer that otherwise would perish. Tha stacks have been encased in pole frames and liberally salted. Deer will not eat marsh hay unless it la . treated.
