Plenty of game is predicted for
the next two years as a result of flu
forest tiros which have raged in
more than a dozen mid-state count
ies, by Dr. J. O Kalbus, secretary to
the state game commission, who has
visited the burned areas. lie says
that the damage done to the forests
is great, hut that game did not suffer
much as the animals and birds were
sufficiently developed to get out of
the way. The lire was so great that
it destroyed the large ttees, and the
areas burnt d over will be covered
with young grass and new shoots
next year, so that there will l>* flue
grazing grounds for the animals the
coining summer. This fact will do
much to provide sustenance for the
game.

At this time of the year every
yard which has shade trees, has also
an accumulation of leaves; and how
to dispose of them is a question
which naturally confronts not a few
of our people. Usually they are
raked into heaps or winrows and
burned in the early evening. But
as the clothing of women and child
ren frequently take fire at such times,
not a few boroughs and municipal
ities have passed ordinances, pro
hibiting this means of disposal,
A saner and easier way to get
rid of the leaves, is to put them up
on the gajden, piling them in heaps
to be rottened during the winter
then scattered on the ground for a
fertilizer in the spring. There is
nothing that so enriches the soil as
decayed leaves, and they can now be
had in abundance, the ground being
thickly carpeted with them.
