1:00 DEER KILLeD IN STATE,
teport of State
State Reserves,
From reports submitted
two of its fifty-one foresters, in charge
000 acres of a total of 1,009,000 acres ci
forest reserves, the Department ol
Forestry has compiled a statement of
camps and campers on Btate Forests
during 1915, and game killed on State
land during the past hunting season.
The statement shows that 783 deer
aud 75 bear were killed by 4,174 bhunt-
ers camping on state Foresie, and 12,-
600 hunters not camping, but hunting
from home,
The total number of deer killed in
the evtire State in 1914 was estimated
at only 1,000. Buch a large percent-
age of the total killed being made on
State land is accounted for by the fac!
that forest fires are not allowed to
burn unmolested on Btate land, bul
are extinguished as promptly as pos-
sible. The feeding grounds of the
deer are kept in better condition than
on private laud, which cannot be so
well protected because of the small ap-
propriations for fire fighting.
The total number of campers and
non-campere hunting on the Bate
Forests this season was 20,000, The
total number of temporary campers
curing the year, not iucluding buni-
ing season, was 5,000. Io addition t«
these, 65,000 persous used the Forests
as outing giounds without camping,
apd 300 permanent camp sites are
leased to about 2,000 people. Thus the
total number who have gone to
recreation 1915
The total number
camp eites is 1,035.
An effort was made to a0

and bear killed in Lis baliwick in the
Coburn district, Twenty-six deer and
four bears were slain on state land.
Mr. Meek states that no does were
killed in this section as far as is Knowp,
One man was arresied by Lhe game
warden for hunting inside the gawne
preserve. Hunters started one fire
near the gamue preserve which was
ensily extinguished.
In the region lying between the
Bear Meadows and the Millhelm pike,
cover which Forester W. E. Mont-
gowmery has charge, twenty-six bucks
were killed, which is two short of las!
year's record. This year's kill was
more evenly distributed among Lhe
various parties. No bears have been
killed in this section since 1913, Be-
cause of the fact thst previous of-

A Tribute,
The following tribute tn the
Rev. W, H. Bebuyler, Pb.
livery by Rev. Bamuel Barber,
ter, and who
Presbyterian minister as anyone:
mate of u life like thie, Some times
the worth of a man is estimated by
bis earning capacity, or his financial
resources or his politiosl influence;
some times by the number of persons
he adds to the church; but the true
worth of a man is his character, The
glory of Jesus Christ was his charae-
ter. The glory of Mr. Schuyler was
his character. In this bis life stands
out preeminently,. We would not
exalt any phase of his character but
rather say he was a complete man—
complete in Jesus Christ,
A high estimate of a life is lo say he
was a scholar, a christiap, a gentle
man, Prof, W. H. schayler was a
scholar of high attainments and had
few equals as an instructor. Those
whom he prepared for gollege had the
advantage of thoroughness and efl-
ficiency. He was a perfect gentle-
man, He was always the same from
childhood to old age, in sorrow or in
joy, in adversity or in prosperity,
when praised or when criticised, Io
public and in private, in the home and
on the road, he showed the marks of
true gentlemar. He wae a christian
after the type of bis Lord and Master,
Humble in the extreme, forgetting
self, helping others and exalting
Christ, Thus his character was lo-
pressed upon his students and parish-
ioners as he lifted them up to a higher
plane of living. He so lived and
taught the life of Christ that his
mauy friends cai say of him, as was
said of Joun the Baptist's relation to
Christ : John did po miracle, but all
John said of this man is true,
Dr. Behuyler was prominent io
Presuytery, spending his whole
ministerial iife of twenty-eight years
in Huntingdon Presbytery.
He held many positions from
moderator down and was twice sent to
the Geveral Assembly. He was look-
ed upon as an suthority on eccleaiastic-
al law. His special interest was the
Country church program, on which
sutject be wrote many articles and
gave talke,
“ Dear friend, farewell! Try going
has made heaven near, Full many s
vase of comely phrase I keep among
wy treasares as wiluess to the cun-
ning of thy haude. Thy loving words
shall live in memory’s gacden like
sweet for-get-me-nots: And I will
hold the broken thread of our high
discourse until we meet again,”

BREUVOKD CROPS,
Let us not forget in considering our
sources of national wealth that the
{arma of cur country produced crops
last summer valued at over five and a
balf billion dollars. The, expenses of
the nations al War are so enormous
that they have got us somewhat in the
uabit of thinking of money in pro-
digious figures. Even so, the billions
if nature's bounty from the farms
sounds apd reads imposing.
Not only are the figures represent-
ng the bushels and dollars involved
stupendous, but the acresge upon
which these enormous orops were
grown takes us into vast resimas of
speculation. When we consider that
the pearly five bupdred thousand
square miles into which this acreage
is reduceable is a territory cqual to the
whole of Geimany, France, Belgiom,
Holland, Denmark snd Switzerland,
we begin to get some hezy idea of the
magnitade of that regal empire which
our country really ie,
Five billion dollars is a lot of money.
While it ls estimated that the cost of
the present war to all the nations in-
volved, makiog no account of the
paralysis to industry resulting, is no
lees than thirty billion dollars a year,
it ia probable that if either side in the
struggle bad a cash reserve on hand,
in addition to ita present assete, of five
billion dollare, it could be counted a
certain victor.
And even in our own country, what
is not possible with soch a sum, If
they had it in their hands, and could
eliminate most of graft, the jingoes
could bulid a navy and equip an army
almost equal to their warlike desires,
Lo the educational ine the possibilities
of such a sum sre almost past concep
tion,
Bat laying sside all idle speculation,
we should be profoundly grateful for
this bounty which helps so materially
in placing us in contrast with a large
part of the world today. And while
gratefu!, we should not forget the
great need that existe in the less favor-
od lands,

The Advan‘age of Pare Hered Poultry.
The breed of poullry which a farmer
uld keep will depend upon several
conditions, Parc-bred stock of some
standard variety is moat! desirable for
several reasons,
F. D. Crooks, of the poultry depart.
ment of the Peonsylvania State Col
cutiines some of the essentials to
be kept in mind in selecting poultry,
Pure-bred stock is more vaiform io
color, therefore it makes sn fleck more
attractive. The farmer is naturally
more interested in such a flock that
he would be in mongrel birds, Pure.
bred stock costs very little more thap
moogrel stock,
A few birde may be purchased the
first year and the flock increased by
hatching the eggs produced by the
original hen. The cost of feeding
and caring for purcsbred chickens is no
mora than for mongrels, A scrub eats
ae much ss a purc-bred and the retarne
from the former are less. Pure-bred
stock of the egg type lay belter thap
mongrels and the eggs are more ani-
form in sige, color and quality, thue
ermmanding the best prices,
The dual-purpose type of hen is ordi-
narily considered best for the farmer,
insuring a good quality of meat and »
good supply of winter eggs. The mar-
ket trade demands birds which are
uniformly fleshed and of even siz» and
color. The most uniform results ip
this particular are difficuit lo obtain
with a mixed flock,
Parc-bred sock may be sold for
breeding purposes at much better
prices than sorub stook,
