tember 16th before beginning the an

geese. The fish and game laws were
materially amended at the last session
of the legislature. Under the new law
it is unlawful to kill quail, doves,
plover, or any insectiverous bird for
which an open hunting season is not
provided, at any time.
Following are the open seasons for

new law:

and game waterfowl, September 16 to

length, April 1 to October 1.

geese or brant, ten prairie chicken or
grouse, twenty-five game birds of any
other variety, ten squirrels, twenty
five fish. It is unlawful for any person
at any time to have in his possession
more than ten wild geese or brant, ten
prairie chicken or grouse, fifty other
game birds, twenty squirrel or fifty
fish. Possession of any number five
days after season closes is forbidden.
The law provides that carp, suckers
(fish), gars and buffalo fish may be
taken with a spear at any time during
the open season for fishing.
The killing of quail, swan, white
crane, Chinese pheasants or any other
game bird of any variety of species
imported into this state for purpose of
propogation is absolutely prohibited
at any tme.
Page State Bank Sold To Draytons.
Page Reporter: A deal was closed
the first of the week between the Page
State Bank and the Drayton Brothers
of the Citizens State Bank of Orchard
whereby the Page State Bank becomes
the property of the Orchard firm who
conduct the business after the first of
September. Mr. Brechler has been
connected with the Page State Bank
for a number of years and his retire
ment will be a surprise to the people
of this end of 'the county. We under
stand that he will spend some time
traveling before again settling down to
business. Mr. Brechler did not dispose
of his business lots or his farm south
east of town.
Putting Fodder on the Table.
“Save your fodder by using the silo
and feeding stock—that is really put
ting the fodder on the table.” This is
the pointed suggestion of specialists of ,
the Agricultural Extension Service of
the University of Nebraska, who are
urging the use of every means of in
creasing the amount of food available
for humans.
How to handle silage properly is de
scribed in detail in Extension Bulletin
No. 15, “Handling Silage,” just issued
by the Extension Service. Two other
Extension bulletins recently issued,
No. 39, “Wooden Silos Used in Ne
braska,” and No. 40, “Pit, Semi-pit,
and Bank Silos,” will help the man
who wishes to build. Experiment
Station Circular No. 1, “Measuring
Silage and the Capacity of Silos,” will
enable the builder to determine the
capacity and proportions most suitable.
Any of these bulletins will be sent free
upon application to the College of Ag
riculture, University Farm, Lincoln.
“Consider the County Fair.”
“Consider the county fair. It teaches
the older folks the miracles that care
and intelligence will work; it inspires
pride in the farming business; and,
above all, it tends to keep the boys on
the farm, because it shows them the
resdlts of the better grade of farming.”
This is the advice of one of the best
stock j :dges in the country, a member
of the animal husbandry force of the
university. “My father did not start
keeping fine cattle and exhibiting them
at fairs until after most of my
brothers grew up,” said he. “As a
result, of the eight children in the
family, I am the only one who is a
farmer. I am sure I stuck to farming
because good stock taught me to like
the country.”
According to this judge, It is not
necessary to exhibit animals loaded
heavily with fat. “The judge over
looks fat these days,” said he. “Good
breeding conditions is* all he asks.
Everybody should boost th& county
Join the National Guard Reserve.
The Adjutant General of Nebraska
has authorized the undersigned to as
sist in the organization of a company
of National Guard Reserves. All men
in good physical condition, between the
ages of eighteen and fortv-flve years,
and not already called into the
National army, are eligible for en
listment. Members will be required to
take the dual oath which makes them
subject to the call of the president, if
necessity arises. The removal of our
National Guard from the State, which
is now in progress, will leave the
State without any military protection
and it is the purpose of the National
Guard Reserve to remedy this condi
tion and to be ready to respond to the
needs of the State or national govern
ment in case of emergency. This will
be a real military organization on the
same status as the National Guard, al
though for the present the duties will
be light, consisting for the most part
of weekly drills. Members will not be
required to relinquish their ordinary
occupations. This is a splendid op
portunity for eligible men to demon
strate their patriotism and show their
colors. Do something for your State
and your county in the great war. Ap
plications for membership may be
signed at the office of the undersigned
or at the office of James A. Brown.
