severe winters while the ground is for a long 
period covered with snow, and whole flocks are 
often found frozen to death by reason of their 
being unable to obtain sufficient food supply 
This loss is one of the chief causes of their 
extermination and can be easily prevented by} 
a little attention upon the part of the farmer 
which may be done by cleaning off the snow 
from a small area in localities where they are 
known to inhabit, and placing fresh straw on 














the ground to attract their attention, coats | 
which grain should be liberally  distributed,| 



























































When the birds are thus supplied with food suffi-| 
cient to keep them well nourished, they can] 
endure the most severe winters. 
A little attention upon the part of the hus-} 
bandmen during periods of severe storms will] 
preserve thousands of these birds which have 
heretofore annually perished. Two winters ago 
countless thousands of these birds were lost dur- 
ing the heavy snow and protracted’ cold period 
following, which could have been readily pre- 
served. It is a fact not generally known that 
many more of these birds are lost by severe 
winters than by over-shooting. This accounts 
for the fact that the quail is more scarce in the 
northern part of the State than in the southern 
portion, where the winters are less severe, al- 
though a great deal more hunting is done, per- 
haps, in the southern than in the northern por- 
tion of the State. 
The State of Illinois has spent a great deal 
of money in importing the southern quail into} 
the State and liberating them for the purpose 
of restocking the portions of the comntry from 
which the bird has nearly entirely disappeared. 
It is feared, however, that the experiment will 
not prove satisfactory, for the reason that the 
southern quail, taken from Louisiana, Alabama 
and the Carolinas, will be unable to endure the 
severe winters to which they would be subjected 
in Illinois and Missouri, and it is evidently a 
much wiser course to preserve the birds indige- 
nous to our climate which have already become 
acclimated, than to attempt to restock from 
southern and less hardy varieties. 
Nature has been very wise in distributing its 
fauna and adapting certain varieties to certain 
climates, and it is a poor expedient to exter- 
minate a native bird or animal and attempt to 
supplant it or supply its place by a foreign variety 
not indigenous to its new home. This empha- 
sizes the necessity of preserving the integrity of 
game birds and animals which were originally 
found and have proven adapted to our climate { 
and conditions. Many experiments have been | 
made to rear the birds artificially, but so far as | 
we are advised the birds have never been suc- 
cessfully domesticated or artificially reared in ] 
any considerable quantities. j 
Quail are reported quite abundant this season } 
in central and southern Missouri, with a fair 4 
increase in the northern portion of the State. } 
The Missouri State game law protects these birds 4 
from being killed, except during the months of 
November and December of each year, and pro- 5 
hibits netting and trapping altogether: but, per- | 
haps, the greatest protection which the law af- 
fords is preventing the birds from being sold on b 
the markets of this State. It is safe to say t 
that so long as they may be sold they will be 
netted and trapped and slaughtered by the pot 
hunter in considerable quantities and sold at a 
great profit. |

RAILROADS APPLY FORESTRY. 
For four years railroads have been co-operat- 
ing with the Government in investigating the 
present tie supply, the possibilities of planting 
trees for ties and methods for prolonging the 
life of ties through mechanical devices to lessen 
wear and through preservative treatment. 
Studies in seasoning and preservation have en- 
abled railroads in the northwest to use lodge 
pole pine as tie timber, and have stimulated the 
building of treating plants by railroads in the 
Mississippi Valley. Other roads, through the 
advice of the Forest Service have begun plant- # 
ing on a large scale. One of these, the Penn- & 
sylvania, is the first to appoint a forester to i 
supervise the care and planting of the company’s {i 
forest lands. Already 500,000 trees have been {
