Wlun your game and insoclivor (.us birds are exterminated, noxiou weeds and insects increase enormously, and the problems of health and crops are greatly complicated. Their preservation means better conditions in every way. In the matter of game fish, the law does not prohibit the owner of ; private pond or lake from catching them in any way he may please 01 allow, except by dynamite or other explosives, but those owners of such bodies of water who have permitted their destruction by traps, nets and seines are now sorry and find themselves becoming fishless. It is against the law to trap or no fish in the running streams of the Slate in any week of the year between Saturday evening at sunset and Wednesday morning at sunrise and the fine is $200.00.
