SHOOTING DEER FROM TREES.
Curious Sport IndulKed In By the Apple
Growers of Arkansas-

Curious Sport IndulEed In by the Apple
Growers of Arkansas
In the apple-growing regions Of
Arkansas the natives have way of
deer shooting entirely original with
themselves Deer love apples and in the
vast orchards they eat them freely. Not
only do the deer eat the apples, but
when the fruit is all gathered they
turn their attention to the bark on the
young trees and the branches Of the
elder ones In the fall when the apples
are plentiful the native watches for
deer signs, and when he locates the
trees which the deer frequent he goes
to work gathering the fruit, always
leaving two or three trees unpicked
that bear the favorite apple of the
deer. After the fruit gathering is over
he turns his attention to harvesting
venison. The deer come to the orchard
to feed in the night. and when day
light comes HE away in some secluded
hollow and sleep When the moon is
in the first quarter the native takes his
gun ani goes out in the early evening
to lie for the deer.
Generally two or three hunters scat
ter out about the apple trees that are
left full fruited to lure the deer to
destruction. They climb into the
branches of the trees short distance
from the ones that bear the fruit and
remain silent and motionless to await
the coming of the game. Shotguns
are the weapons and lucishot
the ammunition used. Usually the
hunters do not have long to
wait before they can hear the deer
approaching. The game comes eau
tiously and it is sometimes an hou-
after the game had been sighted or
heard before he presents himself at the
apple tree where he feeds From a
station in a tree, says a writer,
watched one night for an hour and a
half and during all that time deer were
in sight, but not close enough to shoot.
At last splendid buck came up on the
opposite side of the trees and began
reaching up and picking the apples.

than 100 fine chickens IL she could help

she could. The children caught the
chickens and brought them TO her, and
with her buttonhole scissors she cut q

seldom uttered his warning whistle,
