FOREST AND STREAM. 
it plain that such a law operates to protect 
game. It is easily enforced. Nonresidents are 
made to pay for the right they get in our State 
jo fish and hunt, and they are taxed in no other 
way. If such a law is enacted, it will be very 
Useful in protecting song birds and birds of 
plumage, and a large revenue will be collected 
under it to help defray the expenses of protec¬ 
tion, which revenue will only come from those 
who receive the largest amount of benefit from 
protection— the hunters and sportsmen. 
Under the law in several of the counties of 
the State, trout cannot be sold. That should be 
the general law of the State, because it has been 
shown that to prohibit the sale of birds or fish 
is the best way to protect them. Such is the 
law' in relation to grouse at the present time. 
The opening and closing of the season should 
commence as nearly as possible at the same 
time in all parts of the State, especially in sec- 
ions where the conditions are alike. 
As suggested in my last report, all the great 
‘property interests under the care of this de- 
aartment are perishable and need constant and 
watchful care. The forests, if not protected 
from fire and trespass, might soon be greatly 
injured or destroyed. Lakes, streams and 
■ponds if not protected and supplied with fish 
life by artificial propagation would soon pro¬ 
duce few if any fish. When the great value of 
the fish annually consumed by the people of the 
State is considered, to wit, not less than $44,- 
100,000 worth, it is readily seen how important 
:his branch of the service is. Without a rea¬ 
sonable amount of forest area we could not 
Pope to have much water, and that would not be 
of the right temperature to sustain fish life. 
Without forests we would have no home for 
he game birds or animals, or breeding places 
or either. Without forests, which are equal- 
zers of temperature, our State would be less 
lesirable as a place of residence and much less 
beautiful to look up.on and to enjoy. Without 
orests and a reasonably constant supply of 
vater in the lakes, ponds, and streams the agri¬ 
cultural lands of the State would be more or 
ess injured. This^is illustrated by the arid 
ands of the West. They are not productive— 
hey are practically worthless. With water 
aoured over them and trees planted, those arid 
ands would become the most valuable produc- 
ng lands of the country. A country without 
rees is. in a sense, like a house without a roof 
■—uninhabitable. The history of China. Italy, 
France and other countries in this respect very 
clearly points out the necessity for the preser¬ 
vation of the water supply of the State. The 
results obtained during the last fiscal year have 
been very encouraging. The good will of all 
■the people of the State in supporting and en¬ 
forcing the laws in relation to forests, fish and 
game has been shown by their active co-opera¬ 
tion and a general, healthy public sentiment 
which seems to have grown rapidly all over 
the State in this respect. 
A HEN’S QUAIL FAMILY. 
Several days ago while running a mowing 
machine on his place in Holman street. William 
Green cut in two a quail sitting on her nest. 
He found in the nest fourteen eggs. These 
eggs he took to the house at once and placed 
them under a hen that had bedn wanting for 
several days to set. Monday the eggs hatched 
,out, and the old hen was surprised as well as 
apparently delighted at the quickness with which 
she did the job as well as with the beauty of her 
little ones. She guards the little quail with 
jealous care and appears to be very proud of 
them. . They, too, appear to be satisfied with 
their big mother and are growing very tame.—
