GAME PROTECTION AND TREPASSING HUNTERS Lvritten Specially for The Bulletin) I ellp the following from a recent issue of The Connecticut Farmer: “Now that we are in the throes of the hunting season and farmers are pestered with the “sports” who ov run the woodlands and fields, we wish to cali attention to an act pasSsed by the last legislature givimg some pro- tection, at lesst, to the farmer who hms his fences injured by hunters. TUnder the new law, any hunter who shall injure a fence or let down a bar without replacing it shall forfeit his hunting license and the license privi- lege for two years. The hunter who tears down a stome wall to reach a squirrel or a rabbit or s skunk or who cuty 3 wire femce, is not a sporisman, he is a vandal of the first water, and taking away his license is not balf enough punishment fo- him. Wh the other day—one day last week— we found where a vandal had taken down a section of ome of our stone ‘walls, leaving the siomes sirewn about wpon the edge of a clover lot in which the clover stood a foot high. our way about it we wouid s framed compeliing the of these vandals to some gution where they would 1o pick stome and lay stone wall month.

The whole system of “game laws” ta this cowntry is an abomination and an _outrage—Perhaps 1 am wrong in ealling it s “system”, considering confused bake and cook with honey.

In the unoccupied wilderness, I have no doubt that all these wild creatures have their place and their useful functions. ' The wilderness belongs to them and they fit into the wilderness. Buf they don’t beleng on the farms and they don’t fit inte any scheme of advanced farming. Golden-rod, is a graceful plant and attractive to the eye. But you can't raise golden-rod and potatoes, both at the same time. on the same ground, and beoth to the highest state of per- fection. You've got to make your choice as to which is the more im- pertant; then do your best by it, even to the complete sacrifice and eradica- tion of the less important. A flock of mild-eyed deer feeding peacefully on the market-gardener’s pea-vines is a pretty sight, no doubt. | But the gardener can’t feed his peas to deer and ai the same time suppl the market with them. The practicai | question is simply which is of the most importance, hungry deer or hungry human beings? | | If we are going to develope our farms and increase our farm produc- | tion, we've got to make that the first | thing, *with other matters quite sub- | sidiary. And one thing is certain; we can't do our best by our farms | and our crops if we're compelled by | law to open them eleven months in the year to the incursions of “pro- tected” pests, and the other month to the trespassing of irresponsible hunt- ers. You can't make any country into t {a few people awful mas gret they didn’t live then. in that case, by the tation of the mertality o8, wouldn't have besn here, now! they There are e birds and per! some wild ani who are real ers of the farmer: who in- jurious bugs and grubs and things. ‘All these ought to have ample protec- | tion, by law and by much more effec- ' tingly kill their own friends. But_this whole scheme of “protect ing” destructive wild creatures, at the cost of and against the interests of the farming community, selely to af- ford doubtful “sport” to a small and relatively less important class, is a relic of a past age. That it is oc- casionally dashed by a little mawkish sentimentality on the part of some who are neither farmers nor hunters, doesn’'t make it any more worthy of respectful consideration. i I suppose this sort of talk will make Well, get mad—and than get over it!

This minority is composed of about haif “pot-hunt- ers” who hunt and fish and break down fences wherever they please for a precarious livelihood, and of about half semi-idle city men who think it great to have the privilege of trapse- carrying a few nuts to his winter nest, and killing him If all this isn't “class legisiatton™ of the most offensive and irritating type, then I don’t understand plain English There is no more justice or decency In compelling the farmers of a state to support from their fields and pas- | tures herds of Geer or hordes of Tabbits simply to afford a few da ‘sport” | to an outside class of hunters, than | there would be in compelling them to let their best flelds grow up in a tan- gle of weeds and golden-rod simply to afford pleasure to the eves of pass- ing automobile parties.

The monument bears this inscription: “Erected by the citizens of New | London as a memorial of the loss of | the steamer Atlantic wrecked on Fishers Island, November 27, 1846, Near this spot are buried John Walton, e 61, Jane A., his wife, age 45, and | their children, Mary A aged 18 (wife of Rovert Vine), John, aged 13, Eleanor Jane, aged 11, and James, aged natives of England, who with more | than tnirty others perished in the wreck.” Judging from the reports that ceme to police headquarters there must be quite a squad of Jack the Huggers in New London and the interecption of in dark spots on public are of almost nightly occur- The police officers are doing level best to get heold of the streets rence. their the work by the fathers, the brothers and the lovers of the ladies held up and insulted, and many young women are armed with revolvers to give the rascals a warm reception, but up te date no arrests have been made and none of the huggers have been shot. No fault can be attributed to the po- lice in this matter for they are doing their very best to detect the offenders. But there is reason for the adverse criticism of a police officer who de- clines to accompany an aged citizen who had reason for being afraid to go home alone in the dark. -One night during the present week this respected citizen was held up by four strangers who asked him to give them money sufficient to pay for a night's lodging. The sum was refused. Just then the strangers saw a policeman coming and departed in short order, going down Howard street. The gentleman lived in Howard street, and fearing that he would be intercepted on the way re- quested the police officer to accompany him home. The officer refused to comply telling the man that he would not be bothered by the strangers. Naturally the man was timid, especi- ally as he was beyond the meridian of life quite a distance and had some money on his person. The policeman went his way and the tax-paying cit- izen waited at the corner of Bank and Hor rd street until an acquaintance came along and accompanied him to his home. It was nearly midnight and traffic is light in Howard street at that hour, and men of superior strength would have been justified in asking for i in Cuticura Soap sad then used a lttle | 10,1913, R.
