The most important feature in a satisfactory Forest is the possession of a full complement of hinds. We believe that at last Jura Forest has attained this essential part of complete success, hence hind shooting will now begin. Sixteen years of such moderation as may be called abstension has been needed to effect this result. The Forest now contains about 1000 hinds (i year old and above). If 1000 is the right standard number, about 90 hinds will require to be shot in 1891 to keep that standard. The flower of the flock ought not to be selected for slaughter. This is a very serious question, and one that must be faced, else an insidious decay of the deer will set in, from over- stocking the ground. Largy was dealt with to some extent in 1889. We propose doing so again in 1890, consequently the probable number of hinds to be shot in 1891 may prove about 75. We intend to test our estimates by a count of the Forest, Feb., 1891. 1890. 1890. Assume that 5 per cent. Hinds die. 1891. 1891. Percentage of Fertility.
