Game Collecting in the West.

SIT is easier to purchase Minnesota
prairie chicken in New York than it is
in Winona,' says a newspaper published
in that lively part of the country, "and
the reason why is easily told it affords
better profit to sell them there than
here" Chicago is said to he the great
est game collecting city in the world.
But the game is not eaten there. 1t is
sent on to New York, where people are
able and willing to pay higher prices for
it than can be obtained in the West.
The principal sources of the game sup
ply are the States of Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri. Chi
cago game commission merchants hire
men bv the year to follow the game in
the various States in its season. They
go in parties of five or six, provided
with all the comforts and luxuries of
camp life. They have the best trained
dogs and the latest and most effective
guns and ammunition. In the western
counties of Minnesota and the eas tern
part of Dakota several of these parties
are now closing their campaign against
the prairie chickens, and will soon begin
upon ducks and geese, which begin to
fly about the middle of October. Each
party has its team, tent and supplies,
and camps wherever convenient, in a
new place every night. The game taken
during the day is drawn, wiped dry,
stuffed with sweet prairie hay, carefully
packed and shipped by express from the
nearest station every morning. Earlier
IN the present season each party of five
averaged about fifteen dozen birds
day, or thirty-six birds for each man.
At this time of year half of that number
is considered satisfactory days work.

A Bad Set.

There is a class of agents in this city,
says New York paper, whose methods
of turning dishonest penny consist In
procuring or manufacturing business
for certain lawyers. Whenever and
wherever an accident or fight or a
scandal takes place he is sure to be on
the spot in time to learn all the circum-
stances of the affair and the names and
addresses of those involved in it. The
agent seeks out the aggrieved person
and, with skill derived from long prac-
tice, plays upon his excited feelings until
he is eager to seek indemnity or revenge
at law. Notice is then quickly sent to
the agents lawyer, who comes post
haste, offers his services and usually
without much difficulty secures permis-
sion to begin a suit, and, if possible,
also o small retainer. Sometimes, of
course, these rascals in their zeal for
business run foul of one another. A
few days ago it came out in court that
an ignorant woman, who had been in
jured in Seventh avenue street-car,
had been induced to give permission to
three different lawyers to bring suits for
damages for the same injury.

however, that it takes about the same

for feeding, but is taken from the low
or marshy lands where it is long and

A Neglected Industry.

The North American Beekeepers' AS
sociation recently held their third an
nual convention in Cincinnati. Bee
keeping is not only trade, it is hobby
like silk culture or beet-sugar making,
and the members of the society, as we
gather from the reports, come up not
only for business but for certain en-
thusiastic encouraging of each other
pleasant to them, and likely to have a
wholesome effect on the public. Bee
keeping is one of the industries which
Americans have neglected because its
profits are comparatively small and
steady. It is the risky business by
which man can jump into great sue
cess or great failure, that is popular.
There are few large beekeepers in the
country whose honey is found in all the
home markets and is exported to Eng
land; but the great supply comes from
those who make the business supple
mental to farming, and it is this class of
small farmers who should give more at
tention to the matter than they have
hitherto done.
In old times every garden in town
and country had its hive, which was
usually allowed to stand uncleaned and
unattended to until the bees died of cold
or foul air. Beekeeping requires little
work compared with any other occupa-
ton, but that work must be thoroughly
and faithfully performed at regular sea-
sons. A lad or active woman can take
care of one hundred colonies, but they
through the three summer months, and
there must be no shirking.
The profits of single hive of healthy
italian bees average from SIS to $40 in
the first year and the increase of an
other hive. 1t is not too sanguine reck-
oning, therefore, to set down 1900 in
very good season as the clear gain
from 100 colonies, which for the labor
of one person for three months of the
year is at least fair profit on the out
lay. The large bee-keepers usually
farm out their colonies that is, place
about twenty in each farm which offers
the proper food for them, pay for the
attention which they require, and at
stated times go about collecting the
honey. The supply of fine honey never
equals the demand in the markets of
our large cities, and since the problem
was solved of shipping the combs from
this port and landing them in Liverpool
unbroken, the supply required for
Europe is simply unlimited. Our white
clover honey is said to command high
er price in London than the Greek.
Here is one of the many industries by
which farmers daughters in this coun-
try could earn a comfortable support
and remain at home. But as rule they
prefer to half-starve as teachers III city
public schools. or shop girls in crowded
retail houses of the lowest grade, to any
healthful outdoor work in the pure air

Note Brokerage in New York.

buyer of the metropolis, says q city let

Business is done rapidly, and a tran
saction of $250,000 may be finished in
fifteen minutes. Year after year the
Chemical Bank has been buying paper,
and its former president, John @. Jones,
could call off the gilt-edged names as
rapidly as he could repeat the alphabet.
He knew all the first class men in the
city, and they were always under a
close surveillance, which ensured the
bank against loss. As soon as any
mans paper was offered too freely sus
picion was at once aroused and pur-
chases were stopped. The question
always before him was how much paper
the gilt-edged houses were issuing, and
this could easily be learned by the offer
ings made by the brokers. Hence the
Chemical made but few losses, though
it's purchases were estimated at $50,-

vIsITANTs AT COUNTRY STORES.

In city paper we recently read as
follows "If the English want to know
the proper way to conduct the war in
Egypt, let them consult the visitants Of
a country store"
We do not know who wrote that, but
we would be willing to wager he was
city born and bred, and knows as little
of country stores as he does of the
Egyptian army.
1t was our good fortune to spend
the first twenty years of our life in the
immediate vicinity of country store,
at which, after we were old enough to
be out nights, many of our evenings
were spent. How we'll do we remember
it.
On the one side were the cloths,
calicoes, pins, thread, needles, and
various other commodities usually des-
ignated dry goods on the other were
crockery, groceries, hardware, house
furnishing goods, boots and shoes !;
while, in safe corner was am sssort-
ment of such drugs and medicines as the
country doctor usually prescribed. In
fact, there could be found almost every
thing any townsman would be likely to
ask for. Here on evenings and stormy
days were to be found seated on broken
chairs, nail kegs, boxes, counters, every
where, the best men OF the township
men with brains as hard as their hands.
OF what is com monty called education,
they had little to boast of. Many of
them never had more than three months
schooling in a year, and what they had
was of the more rudimental kind, but
they had good common sense. They
could read, and, what was better, could
understand and remember what they
read.
Their newspapers, of which they had
usually two weeklies, one secular and
one religious, were thoroughly read,
and they could usually give a distinct
and understandable account of their
contents, except, perhaps, some of the
matters that nobody could
not even the writer's
thereof.
The store was the place where they
met to talk over what they read and
did. Their meetings were lyceums, de-
batting societies, conference meetings,
and farmers clubs. Some of the best |
lessons we ever learned came from the
lips of those old farmers, who little
knew what seed they were sewing. |
Many of them have gone to the land of |
the blessed. Others can still be found,
but so scattered that it would require |
many thousand miles travel to bring
Us together. There is scarcely State
IN the Union that has not representa-
i've. They are not all farmers now in
act, if we wanted to fill any position,
whether it required agricultural knowl-
'dge, financial ability, mechanical skill,
n merchantile qualifications, one COM
,etent to the task could be found
