IMPORT MUCH GAME States Giving Attention to Replenishing Flocks. Extent of Activities Indicated by the Bringing in of Half a Million Birds—Laws Made More Strict. Washington.—The states are awakening to the necessity of protecting game birds and animals, and steady progress in the movement for the increase of game and the establishment of game preserves is reported. , The demand for game birds for restocking is larger than the supply. Comparatively few quail were available last year, and the Hungarian partridge is in somewhat less demand than formerly, because of the high cost of the birds and the uncertainty as to their successful acclimatization. Importations of pheasants were unusually large, and many birds were reared on state dnd private preserves. In the winter of 1910 the country was aroused over stories that thousands of elk were threatvaed with starvation in-Wyoming, and, in fact, a demand was made on congress for money to buy them food. An unexpected thaw early in March saved the suffering animals. Nearly 500,000 birds of various kinds were imported from abroad last year. Most of these were canaries, 11,661 coming in one lot alone consigned to one New York importer. The importation of game birds was almost 50,000. Only four of the odd-looking hump-backed Belgium canaries were brought in, and only 37 “mule” (hybrid) canaries, which are wonderful singers. Among the nongame birds brought in were many rare species, including three of the greater birds- of paradise for the New York Zoological park. There was a notable increase of the small Indian yellow-hammers, to meet the demand for a cheap bird that could be retailed by street-peddlers, to whom most of them are sold. These birds never had been imported into the country before April, 1909, but during 1910 some 2,105 were brought in. They sell at wholesale for $6 a dozen. t Partridges Lead Game List. . Interest attaches largely to the game birds imported. These are brought in either for introduction into , game covers or as aviary specimens. By far the largest importations were those of European partridges, of which 33,062 were entered, a slight increase over the number brought in last year (29,452). They-were distributed chiefly to. state gam© departments for stocking covers. Next in importance were the pheas- «• ants, of w’hich 12,047 were entered, > an increase over 1909 importations of more than 160 per cent. Os these 11,016 were English ringnecks, imported mainly for stocking purposes. Two consignments of birds arriving at New York during the year, one in March, the other in October, contained more than 4,000 English ringnecks each. The other pheasants imported were chiefly aviary birds—golden, Reeves, silver, Amherst, Elliot’s, and other species. The remaining importations of game birds, which were also chiefly brought In for aviary purposes, comprised 2,292 quail, 1,630 waterfowl (principally ducks), 170 shore birds and 455 miscellaneous species* Foreign mammals were imported to the number of 7,862, consisting chiefly of Japanese dancing mice (3,780) and monkeys of various species (3,161). Most of the birds and mammals imported are entered at New York, and many of the others at Philadelphia and San Francisco. Many pheasants, however, are brought from Canadian pheasantries through the ports of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Detroit and Port Huron, w’hile Mexico supplies large numbers of parrots and monkeys and a few ant-eaters, squirrels and o(her mammals, mainly through the port of Eagle Pass, Tex. The condition of big game throughout the United States continues to present many diverse and important problems, say T. S. Palmer and Henry Oldys, assistants, in a report to the bureau of biological survey. In the east, where game is largely free from natural enemies, and particularly where hounding is prohibited and females and young are protected throughout the year, deer are increasing. Animals of the West Exposed. « In the west, where game is exposed to the attacks of wolves, coyotes and mountain lions, conditions are less satisfactory. In Maine last year, for some unexplained reason, a scarcity of large moose occurred. Opportunity to hunt big game occurred in 'all but 11 states. The number of states with open door seasons is now 37. Elk hunting is still permitted in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming; an open season for moose is provided in Maine and Minnesota; mountain sheep, hunting, is still possible in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, and mountain goats may be hunted in Idaho, Montana and Washington. Antelope are now protected throughout the United States, and caribou occur only in Idaho and Minnesota, where they are protected throughout the year. Ten states limit each hunter to one deer, 13 states to’ two deer, three states to three deer andgfive states to five deer to each hunter. Alabama and Missouri have a limit of one deer a day. In Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, where both the

variety and limit of game are greater, each hunter is allowed eight deer, two moose, three caribou and three sheep. WEATHER BUREAU INQUIRY. That the maintenance of the weather bureau costs the United States more money each year than those of all the countries of Europe combined, is indicated by the advance report prepared by the committee on expenditures in the department of agriculture. Less that a decade ago the appropriation for the weather bureau was about $250,000 a year. It has been steadily growing since that time until now the increased appropriation is regarded with alarm. The committee is wondering where the increase is going to stop. It points to the fact that the Sixtyfirst congress appropriated $1,600,000 for the use of the service during the year 1912, and that the bureau, of which Ptof. Willis L. Moore is chief, / WWwiPi Prof. W. L. Moore. still complairfs that it has insufficient funds to carry on the scientific research work that it has mapped out Neither Chairman Moss nor any member of his committee intimates that funds have been misused nor do they think the money allotted to the weather bureau has been unwisely expended, but he does think that it would be well to inquire into the scope of the service and see if it is not true that the United States is doing more than its share in bearing the burden of wopld-wide work that is of universal benefit. LOSE THEIR INITIATIVE. In 1907 more than 15,000 civil service employes in this country resigned their positions. General business was active and offered inducements that drew thousands of the most competent workers away from the poorlypaid government service amid a tremendous wail from the civil service commission. Other thousands would quit every year if they had a fair chance to find openings in private business. But there are still other thousands who have lost the initiative and the force of character which lead the more aggressive to break away and better their condition. Almost always the government employe’s w’ork is of a character practically unknown in other service. It does not fit him for private employments. He must work all the time in order to live and has no time to seek other employment. Present-day industrial conditions tend more and more to attach the man to the job, almost as the medieval serf was attached to the land; and of no other employment is this so true as of the government service, because go ernment work fits men for so few outside occupations. In Washington, where the largest single body of government employes live —some 35,000 of them—opportunities are limited, because the federal capital is a city of narrow commercial uevelopment. Until the pressure of stern necessity, during recent years, became so severe as to force many government servants, willy-nilly, to give up their positions, it was almosi an adage that “once -a government clerk, always a government clerk.” A PROPER CAPITAL. Three magnificent structures are to be added to the federal administrative buildings of the national capital within the next few years. The departments of state and of justice are to have each a separate building, as also the department of commerce and labor. The plans for these palaces, which have been approved by the national art commission, contemplate a scheme or grouping which will heighten the finished architectural effect Washington is to be distinguished among the beautiful cities of the world not alone for the splendor of its architecture, its effective vistas and its delightful effect of balance and proportion, but as one world capital which shall stand as an exemplificatlon„of the glory of the distinctly modern builder’s art. ’Washington doubtless will be the capital as long as the nation exists. No longer is heard the cry for moving the seat of government to the center of population. The facilities for communication and transportation have been revolutionized since the days when it was suggested to set up a new Washington “out west.” With the Stars and Stripes floating all the wmy from Porto Rico to the distant isles of the Pacific it will be found that the District of Columbia is quite as convenient as any other spot on the map. ♦Washington’s historic asoclatlons, its mild climate and unrivaled topographical situation make it an ideal center for our national capital.

Capacity in Dairy Cows By P. H. CRANE Associate in Milk Production, Pardue Experiment Station X-sAxsaej Pardae University Agricultural Extension * * ' 11

A Holstein Cow Showing Capacity as “Milk Veins” and Udder—Colantha No. 12893—Purdue Herd. The dairy cow is a machine with a double function. One function is to change raw materials of a comparative low selling value, into an article of high commercial value, leaving bn the farm the by-products which contain a large percentage of the fertilizing elements originally found in the raw material. The other function of this machine Is to reproduce her kind. These two functions are very closely related, one being dependent upon the other. The yalue of each individual cow, so far as her producing ability is concerned, depends largely upon her capacity throughout, as the correction of orgafis that have a part in the processes of the manufacture of milk and butterfat, makes it evident that the animal, [must be well proportioned. A large uoder without capacity of barrel and othjer parts essential to the digestion and circulation will not make the cow as good a producer as indicated by her udder alone. If a large yield of milk and butterfat is expected, the cow must have the capacity of mastication and digestion to take care of a sufficiently large quantity of feed to maintain her and furnish the required nutrients for milk production. Along with this capacity of mastication and digestion, indicated by a large muzzle and jaw, and a capacious barrel, there must be a circulatory system of sufficient capacity to

SELLING EGGS GN THE MARKET By A. G. PHILLIPS Animal Husbandry Dept.. Purdue Experiment Station Purdue University Agricultural Extension The proceeds from the eggs produced by the farm hen is an important item to the farmer. Last year It amounted to over $12,000,000. According to statistics, however, about $2,000,000 worth of eggs weife lost by the farmer, due to improper methods of marketing. . The loss came from the sale of ■mall, dirty, broken, stale, rotten and incubated eggs. The reason these eggs were sold was because of lack of difference in price in favor of fresh eggs. Last winter a law was passed making it unlawful to sell stale or rotten eggs as fresh eggs, and in order to comply with this law, the buyers commenced quoting “loss off” prices, discriminating in favor of the good, fresh eggs, for which they pay their highest prices. How to Detect Bad Eggs. In order to detect bad eggs, it is necessary to candle or test them. , T ' 1 i * i IL, ' . J A Home-Made Tester in Use. This is done by holding the egg in front of a hole through which lamp -ight is radiated into a dark room. By quickly turning the egg, the condition of the contents can be readily noted. A fresh egg appears almost entirely free of any contents, with the air cell very small. A stale egg shows a large air cell and the dark outline of the yolk. An egg with a developed or dead germ shows a large air cell and a dark spot either movable or stuck to the shell. A rotten egg is muddy in appearance, with sometimes a movabte floating air cell.

Indicated by Muzzle, Jaw, Barrel, Bakker Fourth, No. 57516, A. R. O. carry the nutrients to the udder where the real process of milk secretion is carried on. The amount of circulation is indicated largely by the size and character of “milk veins” and “milk wells,” or the veins on the cow’s belly that carry the blood from the udder to the heart, and the size of the openings in the body wall through which the veins pass. The yield of milk and butterfat depends also upon capacity of secretory glands located in the udder, so that it is very important that the cow have a large, well-shaped udder of the proper character —that is, not too fleshy. The difference in the profits derived from two dairy cows may very frequently be accounted for by difference in the capacity of these two animals. The one with small capacity may be able to take care of a quantity of feed sufficient for maintenance and the production of a small quantity of milk, enough to pay for her feed, but that is her limit and she has only reached the point where the profits should begin. The other cow can take in more feed and as a result has nutrients left above maintenance to be made into milk, over and above that quantity produced by the first cow, consequents ly a profit is made. Experiments have shown that greater capacity in our dairy cows, other conditions being of similar character, means larger profits.

A small, dirty, stained or cracked egg is just as good for food, when fresh, as any egg can be, but they do not sell well upon the market because they cannot stand shipment Such eggs should be kept at home. All eggs should be given the best of care during the hot weather, because heat will quickly spoil an egg They should be gathered often, kept in a cold, dry place and marketed often. If every farmer will sell only fresh Prow I■ vc j SpdT Eggs as They Appear Before the Candle. eggs of good weight and endeavor to cater to the demands of the market he will derive more profit from them The farmer should co-operate with the buyer who is buying “loss off” and help improve the general quality of the egg trade, for it means thou sands of dollars to him and his neighbors. Increased quality will increase profit. Try it on the Hogs. The animal husbandry department is conducting an experiment to test the relative value of Canadian peas and rape as a hog pasture. Two lots of twelve hogs each are being fed shorts and tankage. One lot runs on Canadian peas and oats pasture while the other lot is running on rape pasture. The results of this experiment will appear later. Buying Fertilizer. Now is the time to consider the purchasing of fertilizer for the wheat crop next year. An expenditure of a few dollars on the proper kind of fertilizer at seeding time will mean a larger income at harvest time. Money spent for the right kind of fertilizer yields good returns on the investment. To Have Poultry Assistant. The poultry department, in charge of A. G. Phillips at Purdue, will have an assistant next year. The department has been definitely organized for only one year, but the work has grown so that it will be necessary to have another man t© assist with the instruction.

Must I suggest everything nice that you say to me?” “What more can I -.ay?” “Heavens! I’m not going to sit here giving you lessons. I thought the way you started out that you had made love before.” PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK “My troubles began along in the summer in the hottest weather and took the form of small eruptions and itching and a kind of smarting pain. It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand it. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores w hich would break open and run. My underclothing would be a clot of blood. “I tried various remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was in eternal misery and could not sleep on my back or lean on a chair. I was finally given a set of the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months’ time my back was nearly cured and I felt like a new being. Now lam in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Remedies are the best ever made for skin diseases. I would not be without them.” (Signed) W. A.
