“GAME PROTECTORS.” 
The articles which have appeared re¬ 
cently in regard to the game law’s are very 
opportune. They show the utter absurdity 
of those laws. We have in this State of 
New York at the present time 125 game 
protectors. The chief game protector re¬ 
ceives, salary and expenses, f}»4,100 per 
year. The deputy chief game protector 
receives, salary and expenses, $3,400 per 
year. Twelve division chief protectors re¬ 
ceive $2,350 each per year. Six fisheries 
protectors each receive $2,150 per year, and 
the remaining 105 each receive, salary and 
expenses, $1,500 per year, making it cost 
the State of New York a total of $200,000 
a year for game protection. This is more 
than all the game which has been caught 
in the State of New York during the past 
year is worth and besides, game is no 
more plentiful than it was before the era 
of game protection. This game benefits 
nobody hut a few sports from our large 
towns’ and cities, who run down the farm¬ 
er's crops, destroy his fences, leave his 
gates open, etc. Wild game is inconsist¬ 
ent with and injurious to intensive farm- 
iifg and apart from any statute, proprietors 
of lands through which non-navigable 
streams flow, have the exclusive right of 
fishing therein, and hunting the game which 
may be upon such premises. 
These game protectors are idle hangers- 
on, and place-seekers, their appointments 
are doled out as special favor or patron¬ 
age. They are paid with taxes wrung from 
the farmer, and their only service is to 
protect what to him is a nuisance. Under 
the law they are not required to devote 
the whole of their time to the duties of 
their office. They may not devote a tenth 
of their time to that service, but they draw 
their pay just the same. Under the guise 
of the law they can threaten men with 
prosecution for supposed offences, and there 
are probably lots of cases where men have 
settled rather than to have public expos¬ 
ure, when the State has never seen any 
part of the money. I cannot see why so 
much should be expended to enforce the 
fish and game laws, while no similar ex¬ 
penditures are made to enforce so many 
other salutary laws. The State of New 
York is now groaning under debt and ex¬ 
cessive taxation, and wdiile Gov. Sulzer 
is casting about for places in which to 
cut down unnecessary expenditures, I would 
call his respectful attention to the game 
protectors. JAJ1ES FERRIS.

More Fool Game Laws. 
The examples of the fool game law’s are 
not confined to any one locality so far 
as their operations are concerned. I have 
just learned of a fine imposed on two 
farmers who w’ent into the woods to cut a 
bee tree, and who thoughtlessly took their 
guns along. The game protector saw them 
and asked them for their hunting licenses, 
but as they were not thinking of doing 
any hunting they did not take the trouble 
to get their licenses at the bouse, and so 
were caught without them. They were 
fined and had to pay for their lack of fore¬ 
thought. It so happens that the same 
officer that caused the fine to be imposed 
on these farmers was found running an 
automobile without a number. The farm¬ 
ers promptly made a complaint and have 
had the satisfaction of getting the man 
fined for his carelessness. This makes an 
even exchange, but it does not heal up 
the bad feelings that wore caused by the 
unnecessary arrest of the farmers, and it 
causes a lot of had feeling on the other 
hand for the fine for running the auto. It 
is a bad job, and is due to the unneces¬ 
sary over-offioiousness o- the game pro¬ 
tector. The laws are bad enough, and 
must be remedied, but a lot of the trouble 
comes from the foolish fellows who are 
allowed to make the complaints where no 
complaints ought to be made. These game 
protectors ought to be men w r ho know 
enough to discriminate, but it may be as 
well as it is for now we can work to 
have the laws amended. 
Another case is that of a foreign-born 
citizen w’ho took out a license as provided 
by law, but being unnaturalized the town 
cierk should not have issued the license. 
The game protector got hold of the facts 
some way and proceeded to lie in wait for 
his man. lie found him hunting and made 
his complaint, captured a fine and put all 
of it that he could in his pocket. We 
never hear of any of the fellows who are 
benefited by these strange laws getting 
caught. Perhaps they are not subject to 
so close surveillance as the farmers are. 
Probably they are better informed of the 
recent changes, and do not afford so good 
picking for the game protector. It looks 
that way sometimes. If the fellows who 
call around would put up bars and fences 
they let down and would stop shooting our 
cattle it would please us much. H. H. L. 
The Torrens Land System. 
Could you tell us something about an 
act or law in some States which makes the 
title to farm property incontestable after a 
certain length of time, and guaranteed by 
the State, and which enables the owner to 
transfer property without cost of search or 
lawyer's fee by simple transfer at the regis¬ 
ter of deeds? This would be a large sav¬ 
ing when buying property or obtaining a 
mortgage loan. s. 
Stratham, N. H. 
What you refer to is the Torrens system 
of title registration, under which the State 
guarantees titles. Under this system it is 
not necessary to go through the usual farce 
of a “search.” We have described this sev¬ 
eral times but have an exhaustive article 
on the subject coming. 
Breaking and Subsoiling Plow. 
Do you know of a combination breaking 
and subsoiling plow? I have the impres¬ 
sion 1 read of such an implement in Thu 
I t. N.-Y., drawn by three horses and per¬ 
forming at one operation the work usually 
done in two. The implement I have in 
mind is a regular plow with a sub-soiling 
attachment, which may be detached. The 
dealers about here are unable to find such 
an implement listed in their catalogues. 
Eatontown, N. J. p. r. 
We do not know of such a combination, 
and should doubt its practical value. The 
job of subsoiling is quite enough of itself 
for a full team. Does any reader know of 
this? 
I consider this new Ino.io Planet Jr 
is altogether the best—the most 
valuable Horse Hoe ever made. 
Furrows, covers, hoes, cultivates 
and also is provided with a substan¬ 
tial steel one-horse plow attachment. 
The vine-turner attachment is 
valuable for many crops at a late 
stage—tomatoes, peas, potatoes, etc. 
Being a practical farmer myself, 
I know from actual experience what 
this tool will do, and guarantee it 
over my signature. 
It is my latest result in this direc¬ 
tion, after forty years’ experience as 
a farmer and as a manufacturer of 
labor-saving farm and garden im¬ 
plements. 
It is my supreme effort! 
Not only will it do more work than 
any other Horse Hoe—but will do it 
better. It is somewhat lighter yet 
strongerthan our regular horse-hoes, 
and is the greatest one-horse com¬ 
bination tool ever offered. Finishes 
rows up to 3% feet apart, leaving 
the top level or hilled as desired. 
Ask your dealer to show you this new |no. io| , and write 
us at once for our special illustrated circular giving detailed 
information in regard to this remarkable implement; also send for

Land Value More Than Doubled 
W HEN Mr. Honeycutt of Lee County, Illinois, 
bought a run down 400-acre farm about three years 
ago, some of his neighbors thought he had made a 
bad bargain. 
After three years’ soil treatment by scientific methods, he raised 
more than eighty bushels of corn to the acre on land that produced less 
than thirty bushels the first year he farmed it. 
At forty cents -a bushel, that figures about $42.00 an acre, not less 
than $14.00 of which is clear profit, representing 7 per cent on a valua¬ 
tion of $200 an acre. Mr. Honeycutt paid less than half that price for 
his land, which is not by any means the best in the state. In all 
probability it is not as good as the land you are farming. His success is 
due entirely to his up-to-date, common-sense methods of stock feeding 
and soil fertilizing. You can do as well or better than he has done, 
when you begin to supply your soil with the kind and Quantity of 
fertilizer it needs, and spread manure evenly with an 
IH C Manure Spreader 
I H C Manure Spreaders are made in various styles and sizes to 
meet any and all conditions. There are low machines and high; steel 
frames, and wood; wide, medium and narrow machines, all of guaran¬ 
teed capacity; return and endless aprons; in short, a spreader built to 
meet your conditions and made to spread manure, straw, lime, or 
ashes as required. 
I H C Spreaders will spread manure evenly on the level, going up 
hill, or down. The wheel rims are wide and are equipped with 
Z-shaped lugs, which provide ample tractive power without jarring 
the machines excessively. The apron moves on large rollers. The 
beater drive is positive, but the chain wears only one side. 
The I H C dealer will show you the most effective machine for 
your work. Ask to see an I H C manure spreader. You caa 
get catalogues from him, or, if you prefer, write
