A GAME PARADISE. 
(Concluded from page 183.) 
On all the great British estates that are 
practically free from the miscalled “ver¬ 
min,” incubating and importing are resort¬ 
ed to, in order to keep the supply of “game” 
up to normal. George Moore, the famous 
novelist, tells of an extensive plantation in 
the south of England on which all the 
stoats, or ermines had been killed. Short¬ 
ly after this was accomplished the rabbits 
began deteriorating, finally falling victims 
to pestilence which carried th^m all off. 
Game propagation is the only human ac¬ 
tivity of today where the methods of the 
Middle Ages are still strictly adhered to. 
And the results show it! Then do not 
destroy “brush rows” along old fences; 
don’t sweep clean the vine-clad or reedy 
banks of creeks or ponds—leave bushes and 
groves near houses and improvements. 
The clearing off of farmers’ woodlots by 
portable sawmills is given as the chief cause 
for the decrease in small game in Berks 
County. 
L ET Nature be nature, a wild shaggy na¬ 
ture, and not a close-shaven, smug 
nature, with no semblance to its God- 
created self. Increase the number of sanc¬ 
tuaries in which no hunting of any kind 
may be done. Reduce the number of 
hunters to sportsmen, eliminate the pot 
hunter and professional hunter by making 
the license higher than mere “slayers” care 
to pay. Legislate against and limit the 
hunters’ “bags.” ‘ Be an Indian and never 
kill unnecessarily. 
Baillie-Grohman, the great Continental 
sportsman, has said that “Republican equal¬ 
ity of civil rights and game-preserving can¬ 
not exist side by side.” That would mean, 
as in Europe, that game cannot be saved 
except in private parks or preserves. But 
we are looking to a brighter and kindlier 
generation, the product of improved condi¬ 
tions of today, to instill a toleration for 
those forms of wild life that we do not 
understand, and to encourage those forms 
which are known to do good. Without 
birds, we are told that agriculture must 
cease; without fish, waters would be pu¬ 
trid ; without animals, forests must serious¬ 
ly suffer. For the common good we should 
help the forces which make life easier for 
us. For the elevation of the soul we should 
conserve the beauty, and harmony that ex¬ 
presses itself in bird, in animal, or even in 
insect life. 
To make life a perfect structure we must 
live and let live. We must look about us, 
raise our eyes from our daily tasks, study 
and admire the trees, and birds, and flow¬ 
ers, realizing that all make a harmonious 
structure, the fabric of which cannot be 
quite perfect unless all survive. In that 
way wild life in Pennsylvania and else¬ 
where may be conserved. 
Mixing brown shellac with wood alco¬ 
hol or grain alcohol and dipping match- 
heads therein and allowing the matches to 
dry, makes matches really waterproof. 
Scurvy, that dread disease of the far 
north (and of all places where fresh food 
is not easily available) is caused by nothing 
more than the lack of one single solitary 
food element—potassium. Eating fresh 
meat, fish and vegetables (potatoes espe¬ 
cially) will prevent as well as cure it.
