Farmers.'- had not yet found It necessary toi pick bird shot from the flinching hide of a favorite cow. Nor had they, discovered the faithful animal stark in death, with a Tjullet through - her vitals. There were not many fences In those days, and so there were not many gates to wofry about, or wires to break, or boards to pry away. The brotherhood df hunt er . and of - sportsman was an agreeable bond, for the farmer was not constrained to 'follow his live stock Into the next township as pride for the entertainment of , unbidden guests. 'And there -wore not, since we are on the subject so many hunters - as -now. Such hunters as went afield wcro also men who' Were somewhat familiar with tho problems of agriculture. Many -of them had passed their boyhoods on farms. They knew the hazards of an open giito or a broken fence, and they Justified the confidence of their friends In the- country. Though a certain minor pcrotnl age ' of 'the trespass signs 'that bloom so forbiddingly today' have been placed -whore they nro by grouches, by men with very bump tious concepts of proporty rights, this newspaper 1r of the opinion that by ' far the greater' number of Such signs have been Installed by farmers who have learned, to their loss, -that not every individ ual In outing clothes Is a sports man. -Wo believe that only after Innumerable'- vexations,' annoy ances, and flngrant violations of properly rights, -have many farm- crs decided to forbid the entrance of hunters and of fishermen lo their lands.' It Is very odd to re fleet that men who. In their 'own offices or In their own homes In the cty, would wrathfully resent the -slightest Infringements of their proprietorship, leave- open gntes behind them when afield after game, destroy fences with stupid, vandal . nonchalance, - and fact If one sums It up ;as though they were especially licensed to disre gard the decencies as they disre gard the rights of the farmer and the laws of property.
