sportsmen Never Get IN.


As a rule a sportsman may take great
liberties with himself without being much
the worse. No man was ever harmed by
wet feet on a moor, though II he comes
home and cOntemplates them Tor an noun
over a gunroom fire he may be reminded
of the indiscretiOn. A deer stalker has 70
put up with great exposure and temporary
discomfort. but he is rarely the worse for
it. He may have to run at the top Of his
speed for two or three miles along rough
hillside to cut off a stag he has wounded or
started, or in some way made mistake
with, and he arrives at his post as hot as a
man can be.
The deer are not in sight, and have to be
waited for in the best position for the shot,
not for the comfort of the shooter The
place is high up-2,OOO feet up, perhaps
among Hchen and rocks and great patches
of snow. 1t is October, and an east wind
blows upon the little company Of three
which seems to cut into their very hearts.
Finally a snow storm comes on, as it were a
winding sheet. We have spent a couple OF
hours or more in such position, teeth
chattering, body shaking, fingers benumb
ed. If the stag judiciously waits toran hour
he is probably missed. The above three phe-
nomena do not promote good rife shooting
Very likely the stag never comes At all. He
was suspicious and uneasy and preferred
to take an unusual pass, and SO disap
pointment is added to the other discom
forts. But such a wsnJ has never made US
i'll. nor have we ever seen a stalker who
was the worse fOf it.-Macmillan's Maya

even If he be provided with the proper
kew. The keyhole cover is made with q
catch inside which engages with mechan-
ism within the door and is held fast. Ihis
mechanism connects with the pointers OF

is indicated the handle on the right is

milk. But here we are confronted
Rith the argument that "it does not
ay to feed grain to cows" To this
3answer that l admit that grain can
|ae fed to cows. or anything else, at q
pss il not ted judiciOusly. But my
&perience is that grain judici0usIy
~ to cows yields far better prices
Dan can be realized by selling it di-
Rctiy off the farm.
And how feed il judicioufIy In
ae first place you must know tina;
wa are feeding il TO COW that will
AXE butter Of 1t and not beef, for
ue former is worth more than three
me5 as lnuIh rs the latter /; and
e8hin feed it regularly at each milk
|ilg in quantities to suit yOu or the
mount of butter you want to pro-
tlce. My impression ia that We
tflk TOO many cows for the amount
Need we give them. Perhaps ii
many of US were to give one cow all
the feed that we give three or four
tina. she would many times make as
much or more butter than all Ot
them and save much labor. Hence
the prOpriely of keeping fewer cows
and heuer ones. In this WY only
can we ever expect to reach the
zenith.
The best record Of which have
any knowledge was that made by .
cow belorgi x to the RuraE Ne'C
Yorker. She produced 254 pounds of
butler in seven days. Could thi,
record have been kept up during the
entire year her yield would have
reached 1926 pounds. While this
might not have been possible we
haye no doubt but that by proper
treatment this COW would have pro
duced 1000 pounds.
[ am certain that in the near future
sDme one will make that enOrmOuse
record and if it can lie dome any
where | see no reason why we can
not do it here in Garrett county as
we'll AS in any county or state in the
UOinn.
In regard 10 our market for dairy
prulucts we are excplled by other
Localities and yet our market is
reasonably good aud we can better
our market by making better butter
So Iet us rally to our own Interest
and let our motto be onward and up.
