Hit OUTDOORS V CONSERVATION OF QUAIL A land owning., sportsman living in the eastern section of the country has ja good and perhaps novel plan for keeping up a fair supply of quail on his property. The mowing machine, as is quite well known, is a jrather destructive implement to the nests of birds residing on the ground. With that fact in mind this conservationist practices the following method of saving the quail nesting on his. land. During the incubation season he takes his setter dog to the fields which are to be reaped, and by the dog's points discoveres the nests of the birds. Near every nest he drives a stake. So at mowing time he leaves the quail undisturbed, with the grass or grain still waving over her pretty head while the dear maternal heart throbs in glad expectation of the first "peep' of a prison freed birdie, and no doubt with a hearty "thank you" for the kind consideration by the man so merciful--pro tcm. Disturbing the nests of quail certainly acts against their propagation and any farmer, sportsman or youngster that helps protect the nests during hatching season is doing a world of good towards helping to bring back the wonderful, well stocked game fields that pioneers only knew. Not so long ago a certain Alabama farmer destroyed eighteen quail nests one afternoon with his mower. Think of the great number of birds killed by his carelessness. The Izaak Walton League of America, whose members are represented in every state* of the Union, fosters good sportsmanship and needless destruction of America's natural resources. The example portrayed in this article comes from the heart of a true Waltonian. Conservation of game birds came foremost, and we believe his farm remains a happier home with the cheerful call of the quail each day. What a blessing it would be .to find more thoughtful men, such as he, that earn their living from tilling God's soil. Interesting Bits of New* Ittw Fran the Columns of tfce Plaindealer Fifty aad ;:Twenty-fire Team _ Age " M'HENRY COUNTY HAS 72,600 HEAD OF C£¥TLE McHenry county will soon rank with the other 100 per cent counties of the state in the tuberculin test 6f its herds. * According to Dr. C. P. Draper, county veterinarian, and his assistants, ninety-six per cent of the herds in the county have been subjected to the tuberculin test, and the next few weeks will see a full 100 per cent test at the completion of the work which has been going on steadily. Eight assistants have been going through the county testing and checking the herds, which have not been subjected to an examination within Ihe last six months. There are ap proximately 72,000 head of cattle in the county with an average of twentytwo to the herd. This means that there are 5,272 herds in the county, but as under the latest Interpretation one cow constitutes a herd, many of the herds are much larger. That the weeding out process has been efficient is proved, according to the statistics, which show that less than one-half of one percent of the cattle recently tested show a reaction. .

Claim Tigers in India i Serve Useful Purpose The unconventional opinion that tigers are really "shy beasts," fulfilling a "very useful function In nature by keeping down the deer" and other animals that damage crops, is urged in a statement from India made public by the British Society for the Preservation of the Fauna of the Empire. Even when tigers take to kiiling cattle, continues this surprising defense of an animal usually dreaded instead of praised, that fact is notfe necessarily harmful to human affairs In India, the tiger's advocate urges, religious scruples induce the villagers to keep alive vast numbers of old and decrepit cattle. Even the Indian popular leader, Mahatma Ghandi, was criticized severely for permitting an old, sick cow to be put out of pain. What occiden tals would consider their duty, to get rid of useless and miserable animals, is shirked by Indian villagers, the spokesman of the Preservation society argues, and Is usefully taken over by the tigers, unhandicapped by religion. Most tigers are Imbued, the statement continues, with a wholesome fear of niun, mankillers being the rare exception. It may be considered Improbable, nevertheless, that any large percentage of Indian villagers will Invite one of these supposedly shy and useful forest kitties to come and live in his barn in order to protect his garden. „ COMPLICATION IS BROUGHT TO END BY NEW KONJOLAl Nervousness and Other Ills Yield for First Time When New Medicine is ^ ' o the Test Oispur/ ADVE#TI?ING Wisdom From Franklin Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments.

HANDY HOT WATER Alaskan Natives Erect Buildings Over Graves The natives of Alaska are much given to superstitious beliefs, witchcraft and ghosts, and as a rule they are dreadfully afraid of the ghosts of the departed, so that the section of land given ovef to the disposition of the dead is held-in great reverence. The dead one, with all his personal effects, such as skins, blanket and trinkets accumulated during life, Is laid away and is generally safe from molestation, although occasionally some member of the tribe may become so depraved as to remove some of the goods if he can do so without detection. Frequently a small house is erected over this accumulation, so that in the course of time the burial ground comes to take on the appearance of a miniature village. In some parts this has taken the form of an annual ceremony and on a certain day of the autumn many persons may be seen erecting these houses over the resting place of their departed relatives.

When a writer hejtan a volume the choice of subjects was - «asy--there were but seven; theology, philosophy, medicine, logic, grammar. Iiistory and Canon law. Perhaps that Is why there were so few books. The libraries were little frequented, and |>erhaps that was because patrons jhad to stand up to read. On no account could anyone take a book home, lot all volumes were chained to the Stall in which they were kept. Even College libraries did not offer very ex lensive reading.
