FOREST 
AND STREAM

narrowing before the advance of cultiva- 
tion, these reserves are our only promise 
of an abundance of bird life for the fu- 
ture. Such refuges are worthy monu- 
ments to American sportsmen and bird 
lovers through whose splendid efforts 
they have been formed. 
The wild life which plays so vital a 
part in nature’s wonderful workings, 
which has ever been a thing of beauty 
and undying interest, which has given 
us such healthful recreation, such thrill- 
ing sport, such fine food, is the rightful 
heritage of future generation's. 
With care and moderation and an eye 
to the future, we can enjoy our sport to 
the fullest with no fear of destroying 
our future game supply. Our game is a 
treasure, something of infinite value, to 
be saved and guarded, not wasted. To 
kill in moderation and to save is the rule 
we should be glad to observe. 
Our game supply has been sadly de- 
pleted. Many places that but a few 
years ago afforded magnificent sport, 
offer little or none today. Only a few 
places remain where our wild life may 
still be found in anything like its for- 
mer abundance. Some species have gone, 
never to return; some others are peril- 
ously nearing extinction. 
However, it is not too late to mend 
in the case of our game remaining; we 
have already done much toward that 
mending. Excellent game laws which 
are ever being more willingly observed, 
as well as more strictly enforced, are 
doing wonders. With the making of re- 
serves where all shooting is prohibited, 
the stopping of spring shooting during 
the mating season, the stopping of shoot- 
ing at night, the end of the sale of game, 
our wild birds and animals will have a 
better chance. The future holds fair 
promise if we but act wisely.

ent varieties of river-ducks will be con- 
sidered.)

the banana species. The well-known 
Honduras banana with yellow skin is an 
excellent fruit, very wholesome and nu- 
tricious. The large plantain of Cuba 
and Porto Rico, which turns red when 
ripe, and sometimes known as horse 
banana, is used exclusively as a vege- 
table when green, and fried banana is 
something to swear by. 
In the early morning, in Havana and 
San Juan, droves of donkeys may be 
seen coming into town with deck loads 
of green plantains, only their noses, tails 
and feet being visible. 
A dwarf banana, the Cavendish, is 
cultivated in Florida, and is much su- 
perior to the ordinary banana of com- 
merce in flavor. The date banana of 
Cuba is still smaller and still more de- 
licious, while the smaller, almost round, 
banana of Porto Rico exceeds them all 
for lusciousness. The banana is the old- 
est and most perfect fruit on the globe, 
and has been cultivated for thousands of 
years, so long in fact that it is seedless, 
the plant being propagated by off-shoots
