the Cape, and already the shOremen are catching
and hauling them to market
Mackerel in considerable numbers are also
taken with the herring. The eastern herring feet
win probably not arrive here till after the time

mackerel this season will undoubtedly bring her
ring up to higher figure than they have reached
for several years previous
The Cape territory in the low lands, abounds In
excavations made by the farmers digging for
muck. These muck-holeS IN which water stands
most OF the year afford seductive resting and feed
ms, places for migrating water fowl, especially
teal. The young NimrOds hereabOuts are getting
many fine bags of this tender and succulent fowl
by stealthily approaching and flushing the game
in said muck-holes.
