Bird Dog’s Delicacy
of Scent Remarkable
The delicacy of a dog's nose—his
ability to =ift and define scents of iu-
finite kinds—to locate birds for the
gunner, or follow faint trails of game,
is one of nature's most amazing mir.
acles,
High up in the list of delicate dog
noses are those possessed by the
“bird dogs"-—the setter and pointer,
A pointer, from one whiff of the
trail of a quall, can tell many things
about that particular bird, no mat
ter how many chickens, ducks and
geese have crossed his path.
He knows, for Instance, whether
it is alone or there are other quail
with it. There is good evidence that
he notes a difference between the
body-scent and the foot-scent of the
bird, because with only a breath of
breeze in his favor, he can locate in
the brush, many paces from him, an
unseen quail that has walked or
flown into cover to windward of him,
Moreover, If he strikes the trall of
a walking bird, he knows which way
it 18 moving and never makes the
mistake of taking its back track.
His nose tells him, at a distance,
whether his master has merely
wounded or killed the bird outright.
If the latter, he goes forward with-
out hesitation and retrieves the quail.
If wounded, he continues to point
rigidly or advances at command until
the bird again goes up—if it can,

Start of Service.
The application of this type of sery-
ice which is freely in the in-
{ dustrial world, by furnishing farmers
with economic analyses of agricultural
conditions, was started rhortly after
the termination of the war with the
issuance by the Unletd States Depart-
ment of Agriculture of a publication
called “The Agricultural Situation.”
The publication, a brief monthly sum-
mary of economic conditions and pros
pects affecting farmers, was in quick
demand presenting facts
which could be used by farmers to
make readjustments to changed eco-
nomte conditions In and
world markets,
Demonstration of the need by farm
ers for this type of information led to
the establishment of similiar service
by the state agricultural colleges, until
now more than one-third of the col
leges are issuing economic reviews
dealing with farm conditions. The
