A FARMER BOY'S PROBLEMS.
V.—A Little Talk About the Hunting Season—The Folly of In
discriminate Killing.
THE HUNTING season is now on
and many of the boys who read
The Progressive Farmer and
Gazette are, no doubt, already busy
with their guns. Now, I am not one
of those people who are opposed to
hunting. I like myself to take a shot
gun and a pair of good dogs and go
tramping through the fields and
across the hills these fine, crisp No
vember days. I may just as well ad
mit, however, and have it over with,
that I don’t, as a rule, do a great
deal of damage when I go; nor do I
get to go very often in these latter
years. Hunting, however, is great
sport, and if gone about in the right
way is thoroughly good for either
boy or man.
To go about it in the right way,
however, means, in my opinion, that
one must make it a sport rather than
a business. One doesn’t want to
hunt all day without killing any
thing; but for a boy to value his
hunting just by the number of birds
he kills, is taking altogether the
wrong view of it. The idea should
be, I think, to get just as much fun i
with just as little slaughter as pos- '
sible. At any rate, one should use a
little discrimination when he goes ;
who go out to kill everything in
sight should be kept off the land.
All this may seem of little import
ance to some boys; but it is really a
matter of great concern to farmers
everywhere. Without the birds we
would be almost at the mercy of in
sects, and insects, as the boll weevil
has shown, have no mercy. The
quail, the meadow lark, the turtle
dove, all of which are recklessly
killed, are birds deserving careful
protection by every farmer and farm
er’s boy.
Of course, it is different with some
other birds, ducks and woodcock for
example. They seem, in most cases,
to be able to take care of themselves,
by keeping in out-of-the-way places;
although in many localities they have
been exterminated. Squirrels, too,
may be freely killed In most sections,
and rabbits everywhere. There is
little danger of reducing the rabbit
supply too much; and 'possums,
minks, muskrats and so on are in
leed of no protection.
Hunting is, as I said, great sport,
tnd I believe every boy should learn
low shoot; but the lust for killing,
he mere desire to shoot something
ilive, is a thing to be guarded
against.
A new method of hunting—with
he camera—has come into promi
lence lately; and it is a very good
nethod indeed. Any one who reads
Herbert K. Job’s or RadclyfTe Dug
nore’s books about this kind of hunt
ng is likely, I think, to realize that
it requires both more skill and more
courage than hunting with a gun;
and it would be well if more boys
were interested in the study of how
to preserve and care for our song
and game birds, and fewer in the
mere number can kill in a sea
son. Mt
MERIDIAN POULTRY SHOW.
The Meridian, Miss., Poultry Asso
ciation will hold its second annual
show December 13 to 17, 1910.
Good management, a liberal pre
mium list and an all-round good
Bhow is assured, and we hope that
our poultry friends will not only send
their birds, but attend in person.
For those not thoroughly Informed in
the business, especially those who
have recently Btarted raising pure
bred poultry, there is no place like a
good poultry show to study and learn
to judge the breeds interested in. To
breed poultry and give satisfaction to
their customers, poultrymen must be
intelligent judges of the breeds they
are handling. Most of the complaints
and disagreements arising between
our advertisers and those who buy •
from them, are due to a lack of
knowledge on the part of one or the
other. Any one Interested In the
poultry business should visit some
good poultry show and use the op
portunities there offered to learn the
essential points constituting quality
in the breeds they are handling or
expect to handle.
Mississippi Poultrymen.
Mississippi poultrymen are to he
congratulated on the splendid exhi
bition made at the Mississippi State
Fair. The exhibit was very credit
able In size and quality and was al
most exclusively made up of Missis
sippi birds. We do not remember of
seeing a single exhibit that was not
from Mississippi or adjoining States.
Mr. W. C. Taylor, Secretary of the
Mississippi Poultry Breeders Asso
ciation deserves the liion’s share of
the credit for the showing made.
Cleanliness in the poultry yard
is next to success.
out gunning. i
The most common game bird in
the South is the quail, or partridge,
as we usually call it. Bob White is
not only a fine game bird, testing the
hunter’s quickness of sight and stead
iness of hand, but he is also splendid
eating. I don’t recall anything much
better just now. But there is an
other side to the matter: He is also
one of the most efficient insect de
stroyers we have, and one of the
farmer’s best friends among all the
friendly birds. For these reasons he
should be protected rather than kill
ed. So, while I would be far from
saying that you should not kill a
quail, I do believe that you should
never get to the point where you can
kill one without feeling, when you
have done it, that you have killed a
friend, a bird with a cash value to
the farmer and the community. The
boy or the man who can go out and
ruthlessly slaughter a whole covey of
quail is a butcher rather than a
sportsman, and is willfully blind to
his own best interests. For this same
reason, I do not think it wise for any
farmer to allow indiscriminate hunt
ing over his fields. The sort of folks
