HUNTING TALES 
Edgar F. Randolph 
A series of hunting reminiscences of rare 
charm for the sportsman and for the wider 
circle which delights in true tales of outdoor 
life. With none of the high coloring and ex¬ 
aggeration which give a false note to so many 
hunting stories, Mr. Randolph’s book is never 
lacking in interest. 
He covers the field of sport with the rifle, 
east and west, drawing a vivid word picture of 
life in the open, subordinating his own exploits 
to the main incidents of outdoor experience, 
giving much valuable information on camp life, 
hunting and the habits of wild game, and con¬ 
tinually delighting the reader with the freshness 
of his viewpoint. 
This book will strike a sympathetic chord in 
the memory of every big-game hunter of ex¬ 
perience and will prove of real value. to the 
novice who is planning an excursion into the 
wild.

ing on the water. It is too dark to see clearly 
through the screen. To the eye the new arrivals 
are no more than the ghosts of birdland; though 
the plash as they reach the water and the loud 
conversations that start immediately dispel all 
suggestion of anything so unsubstantial. I 
imagine them telling stories of the food they 
have found, or slandering absent friends. There 
is nothing kindly in the quack of ducks or 
“whee-ho” of the widgeon. The light spreads, 
I see widgeon, mallard, duck, and teal; there 
must be hundreds on the sheet of water that 
was bare no more than half an hour ago. Roger 
will leave them to preen, wash, and rest until 
ten o’clock, so as soon as I am assured that the 
last hunch has arrived, I return quietly to the 
cottage to make further offering before the 
altar of the Sleep God.—County Gentleman. 
ITALY WORKS TO RENEW FORESTS. 
Italy, which has suffered extremely in the 
past from, the ruin which follows the removal 
of protective forests is now among the leading 
nations working for the conservation of forest 
resources. Extensive operations in reafforesta¬ 
tion have been going on for forty years, and 
the Italian Secretary of Agriculture has just 
published his report on the progress made in 
that time. 
This report indicates that the Italian govern¬ 
ment is keenly aware of the value of forests 
to the country, and that it is determined to 1 
bring its deforested lands into a forested state 
as soon as again possible. To attain this end, 
planting operations have been conducted on 
government land to such an extent that during 
the last thirty years 122,000 acres have been 
planted in twenty-five of the provinces of Italy. 
Of this area, 69,000 acres, or approximately 108 
square miles, were planted in the year 1907 
alone, causing an outlay of nearly 2,000,000 dol- ; 
lars and giving employment to a large number 
of men. 
Reafforestation has been carried on so vigor¬ 
ously that there now remains only about 36,000 
acres of government land in need of planting. 
In addition to conducting planting operations 
on a large scale, the Italian government has, 
during the last four years, distributed over 130,- 
000,000 young trees and 237.600 pounds of seed, 
an amount sufficient to restock approximately 
100,000 acres of land, to the people in an effort 
to encourage planting and sowing by private 
persons. As the forest area of Italy amounts j 
to only slightly more than 10,000.000 acres, this 
planting by the government and private per¬ 
sons amounts to approximately one-fortieth of 
the total forest area of Italy. Further steps 
must be taken by the government, however, be¬ 
fore its forest policy will prove the success of 
some of its European neighbors. ' j 
Forest fires still continue to be the cause of 
heavy damage. During the year 1907, 1.294 fires 
were reported with an estimated loss of 
$104,400. While this amount is insignificant 
when compared with the yearly loss from fires 
in the LTnited States, it is large, relatively speak¬ 
ing, and would be viewed almost as a calamity 
in the better managed German forests. Of 
there fires, ninety-four were due to criminal 
design. 267 to culpable negligence, 132 to acci¬ 
dent. and the rest to unknown causes. 
Fire, however, is not the only enemy of the 
Italian woods. The small landowner often fells 
recklessly and sometimes with good excuse be¬ 
cause of the heavy taxation of timberlands. 
Large tracts which used to be covered- by a 
thick growth of chestnut have, even during re¬ 
cent years, been stripped of every tree. 
Like all other countries where forestry is 
successfully practiced, Italy must not only resort 
to planting the cut-over areas, but must also 
perfect a svstem of fire protection and enact 
laws to relieve timberlands of excessive tax¬ 
ation. 
All the fish laws of the United. States and 
Canada, revised to date and now in force, are 
given in the Game Laws in Brief. See ads.
