holding the feather in a vertical position. With 
the thumb and finger of the right hand tear the 
vane loose from the bone near the vane end and 
immediately turn the torn part downward mak¬ 
ing and maintaining a sharp angle between the 
torn part of the vane and the bone of the 
feather—then pull downward; the vane will strip 
off the entire length of the feather and will come 
away clean. If too much of the bone-skin comes 
off with the vane, it may be trimmed with the 
shears. The vanes of a hunting arrow are 4 
inches long and % of an inch high. The big 
softer feathers of the wing yield better vanes 
than do the primary or pointers. The vanes are 
attached in like manner as to a target arrow but 
if placed with a slight twist or spiral the flight 
of the arrow will probably be improved 50 per 
cent. Inded, I feather all my target arrows 
with the same twist or spiral suggested for hunt¬ 
ing arrow's. If the pile end of the vane is placed 
3-32 of an inch out of line with the axis of the 
shaft there will be ample twist to the vane. In 
fledging an arrow with spiral or twist wings, care 
must be taken to so place them that the pres¬ 
sure of the air on the vanes while in flight will 
come against what would be the nether side of 
the feather when in the wing of the bird, as the 
vane of a feather is very stiff in that direction 
while in the other it is limber. Hunting arrows 
are headed according to the use intended. Bab¬ 
bitt headed, blunt arrows are used in shooting 
at birds and small game in trees, and sharp steel 
bladed ones for large game and game on the 
ground. The weight of hunting arrows should 
be as nearly uniform as practicable, but nothing 
like the great care in this respect is required as 
in the target arrow. They should be painted 
between the feathers and varnished to exclude 
moisture from shaft and vane. White feathers 
and a red shaftment have saved from oblivion 
many an honest shaft. 
GAME RESOURCES OF WESTERN CANADA. 
The game and fur resources of western Can¬ 
ada are a very important part of the country’s 
natural wealth although not usually thought of 
in connection with its agricultural possibilities. 
Exports of furs alone run to many hundreds of 
thousands of dollars, in addition to which large 
| quantities of game are consumed locally, and an 
important business is established with profes¬ 
sional hunters or those seeking holidays where 
wild game abounds. 
In order that the inroads of civilization may 
not destroy these resources, the Government 
of Alberta has decided to give additional protec¬ 
tion to elk and wapiti by prohibiting their de¬ 
struction after November 15th, and to beaver 
by declaring a close season for beaver for five 
years from December 31st next. 
Officials of the Canadian Pacific Railway who 
are in a position to know the true conditions of 
game in the Western Canadian provinces, say 
this new rule will prevent the practical extinction 
of elk, wapiti and beaver. 
The Dominion Government has set aside a 
park of 2,200 acres in the Chin Coulee district 
as a preserve for antelope. This new preserve 
will be under the management of the Dominion 
Department of the Interior.
