As information accumulated, it be came harder and harder to make the theories fit the case. Given, time and animal life adapts itself to changes of climate. Movements of the earth are seldom so widespread that flight can not be taken from a disturbed area to one of safety. If giant lizard fought mountainous mammal, why did-the sur vivor go? ;[‘heory. it was seen, must be in keeping with the law of probabil. ities. A new and more reasonable hypothesis has recently been brought forward. At the time that nature was experi menting with monsters, there existed a lake in Colorado. It was surrounded with forests which were tenanted by hosts of insects. A volcano buried the lake and its shores in ash. This hard ened into stone. Scientists go to this ancient graveyard, split: the stone and bring to light the petrified bodies of the butterflies and moths, the beetles and bugs. Among these insects are two species of tsetse flies. There is nothing like them in America today. But in Africa they d#Bound. They are known as the carriers of the sleeping sickness, one of the deadliest of dis eases. It is falr to assume that the tsetse flies of Miocene times were the hosts or distributors of diSease bacilli as they abe now. Upon that assumption new theory can be constructed: The tsetse flles developed into a terrible pest. As they flourished, their victims grew less. In the course of centurles, the bulky citizens of plain and mar gave up the warfare, They could sigh one another and yet live. They could not: destwith: mereiless u:ru. s The theory has this merit whatever efse it may lack, It is plausible where its predecessors succumbed to clearer ‘binking.—Toledo Blude. st _Long Playing. “Talk about long playing,” sald the New Yorker to Pat. “Why, your coun trymen wouldn't get a look-in with us.

N —_— v q \ It Is Suggested That New Industry of Raising Game May Reduce Cost of Meat-—Encouraged in 3 States, New York.~The raising of “wild game” Is a comparatively new indus try in this country, but has been mak- Ing remarkable strides in the past 12 months, according to the report of the Game Conservation soclety, which re cently held its annual meeting here, The society's membership Includes many breeders who have established game farms for the purpose of renew ing the country's supply of game fowl for table consumption. This supply, according to members of the soclety, was rapidly diminishing until a year or 80 ago, and many of the most delec table forms of wild food that had formerly been plentiful in this country had become rare dishes even for epi cures, - Wild ducks ‘and pheasants are among the varieties of fowl that aré being raised by the breeders at the present time, and according'to the so ciety’s report the former have become so plentiful through this method in some states that they have appeared on the market at prices which place wild duck within the range of the pub- He generally instead of the rich alone. In Minnesota, the report states, wild duck sold at $1 each this year. It is suggested in the report that at the present rate wild duck and other form erly rare fowl may actually tend to lower the cost of the more common place meats of dally consumption. Many States Permit Breeding. “Thirty-five states now have laws permitting the breeding and sale of all or certain specles of game, and many game farms have been started in other states in anticipation of laws encour aging the industry,” the annual report says. “Reports coming to the society indicate that all of the states and some of the Provinces of Canada soon will permit and encourage game breeding. “Reports coming to our game census indicate that our members have over a million game birds—there were few er than 100,000 reported last year— and that they have several times as many, deer and elk as they had last vear. The membership of the soclety has doubled during the year, and our list shows a very rapid increase, “The breeding of quail and grouse has been started in the western states, and there is much interest in quall breeding in the southern states, which are well ‘adapted to the production of quail in big numbers.” Desp.lte the fact that hundreds of thousands of pheasants have been railsed by the breeders, the report says, the prices have continued to rise be eause lmporters have been prevented from bringing these birds from foreign countries. The report also states that the breeding of game fish is beginning to attract widespread attention and to prove highly profitable, “It is evident that comparatively little of our vast territory will be need ed to make America the biggest game producing country in the world, since game overflows from the many breed ing grounds and restocks large areas where it has become extinct, the sportsmen in all localities find they dre penefited and all prejudice against the industry seems to have disap peared, « Benefits Are Shown, “It is highly important that as game becomes plentiful much of it should be eaten, and the sale and eating of game must be relied on to keep up the industry, especially when it 'is under taken by popular clubs with small dues, which should sell some of their game and eggs to help pay the cost of production. The Game Cbnservation soclety is especially interested in clubs of this character and is constantly at work to help these organize, / “A notable example of the benefits of game breeding has occurred on Long Island. The clubs report that mallards are plentiful not only on club grounds, but also on public waters, where hun dreds of birds have been shot recently, Before game breeding was undertaken the mallard was seldom seen on Long Island. A single bird iz a bag attract ed attention. The ornithologists re ferred to the mallard as an occasional vigitant. ¢ i o “Quall shooting has been kept open on the island for all hands without fear of extinction, and in whole states where there are no quall clubs it has been found necessary to prohibit quail shooting at all times. When there is a 8 much breeding proportionately in other parts of the country as there is oy Long Island there will never be the necessity for prohibiting all shooting, as is now the case in many of the quall states.” PUT ROADS TO BED. ‘ . The farmer who /'put his road to bed” for the winter in good shape, will thank himself later. < - L . ol ety i eyl B, |J. H. KELLY CO. [[HHHRIHIMHIIND . H. KELLY CO. [ttt . H. KELLY CO.
