4 GREAT BEAR HUNTER.
Five Hundred of the Animals Slain b
 Gen. Wade Hampton.

Five Hundred of the Animals Slain by
 Gen. Wade Hampton.
 MT. Theodore Roosevelt. in his evil derness Hunter" speaks of Gen. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, as the man who, with horse and hound, ha: been the mightiest hunter America has ever seen." His special game has been bear and deer. but he has also had the fortune to kill some sixteen cougars the panther of the cast, the mountain lion of the west. and the lion and puma of South America. Of black beers, ac cording to Mr. Roosevelt, he has prob ably killed moro than any other man living in the United States. Thirty ol forty of these he has killed with the knife.
 His plan was. when he found that the dogs had the bear at bay, to walk up close and cheer them on. They would instantly seize the bear in a body, and he would then rush in and stab it behind the shoulder, reaching over so as to in1iict the wound on the opposite side from that where he stood.
 AAC CoSSbHONA oNSSGAAtAs1o AAOA-A SsA IA1N fos- encounters save one, in which he was rather severely torn in the forearm. Many other hunters have used the knife, but perhapssnone so frequently.
 Gen. Hampton always hunted with large packs of hounds, managed some times by himself and sometimes by his negro hunters. He occasionally took out forty dogs at a time. He found that all his dogs together could not kill big, iat bear, but they occasion ally killed three-year-olds, or lean and poor bears.
 During the course of his life he has himself killed, or been in at the death or, five hundred bears, of which at least two-thirds have fallen by his own hands. In tho years just before the war he had on one occasion. in Missis- sippi, killed sixty-eight bears in five months. Once he killed four bears in day; at another time three, and ire quently two.
 The two largest bears he himself killed weighed respectively four hun dred and eight and four hundred and ten pounds. Most of his hunting for bears was done in northern Mississippi, where he had plantation.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
Curious Result of an Experiment. by tn.
 Postai Authorities.

Postai Authorities.
 The difference between city and country ways have been illustrated in a curious manner by an experiment of the post office department, says the New York Evening Post. Under the last administration about fifty villages and small towns, ranging in population from eight hundred to four thousand inhabitants, were picked out for 8 trial of tha system of distributing mail matter by carrier, as in large cities. At first general satisfaction was manif ifested, and tho receipts of many of the offices for awhile showed m increase, indicating that the con- venience stimulated correspondence, but as tho novelty wore off the resi- dents very generally tired of the change and returned to the old prac- tice of going to the office themselves for their mail. A majority of the peo- pie would apparently rather have their letters lie in the office until they call for them and thus have an excuse for frequent visits to the center of local activity than have their mail delivered every day at their houses. The carrier in such places is really foe to social activity, as going to the post office" has always been a recognized means of mixing with men, and it's occasional inconvenience is preferable to the loss of what is often only pretext for making a break in the monotony of 6 retired life. In view of the evidence that there is not "a long-felt want" to be met by this system of free delivery in small communities, and of the fact that its general adoption would in- volve an annual expense of at least ten million dollars, the first assistant post master general wisely advises sus. pension Of the experiment.

Cured by i>c.nS Poisoned.

The latest instance of crime bring ing its own punishment comes, on the authority'of Dr. Leonard Guthrie, from Italy. An Italian " oman had a hus- band and the husband had the dropsy. But the drC;,sy did not work quickly enough. The woman put toad into her husbands wine to poison him. But the poison which the toad's skin secretes has an active principle-phry nin-which much resembles digitalis, which is the best possible remedy for dropsy pending ou ht irt disease. So, instead of killing her husband, sue re- stored him to health.

BEGINNING A DAIRY.

A subscriber desiring to enter into
the business of dairying, wrote as fol-
lows to the Louisville Home and Farm:
Il anticipate beginning in the dairy
business with 1896. Would it be ad-
visable to begin with five good cows
on rented land and a limited capital?"
The reply to which, as gwen by L. S.
Hardin, a practical dairy man, con-
tains so much good advice to the
young dairy farmer that we reproduce
it for the benefit of our readers. He
says:
you propose doing just what we
have been telling you to do. Get you
four good COWS and more if you can,
but be sure they are good ones and to
be sure of that they must be tested
with the scales and Babcock to know
how much each one can give and what
it's value is for butter-making. Five
dollars will buy you a good Babcock
tester that Will be worth more to you
than forty years of experience in pick
ing good cows. When you get one good
COW that will make over 200 pounds of
butter a year you will have something
to compare the other COWS with, or, at
least, puts the fat in the milk.
We like the idea of beginning now to
the way to make a success of it. Now
the first thing is to inform yourself on
the art or business of dairying. First,
make up your mind whether you in
tend to sell milk or make butter or
cheese, and having determined this
begin to read up and study the sub
ject. Get the best COWS you possibly
can and do not take poor mixers,
even as a gift. Pay good prices or
travel at some expense to get the best,
for it is only the best cows that pay
in the dairy. This is really the key
to the situation. A man with four
good cows can make more money than
another with twelve medium ones. In
fact, the more poor mixers you have
the worse off you are.
Learn to feed heavy up to the point
of profit and not one inch beyond.
Each COW has her limit in eating to
profit and you must find that out with
the Babcock and the scales. None but
good ones pay.
In answer to the question relative to
the risk of renting a farm for starting
dairy, with limited capital. / would
say that this is the best way to start.
FOR the limit is what brings the stuff
out Of man if he has it in him. The
best plan is to rent, for then if it turns
out that he has not the proper qualifi-
cations for the business he can lose
only his labor, while if he buys he
must carry the burden whether he will
or no. The best successes that have
come under my observation were where
young men took unto themselves wives,
a small farm and a heavy mortgage
and buckled to the work in dead earn
est 1t was rabbit or no breakfast,
and they generally got the breakfast
and a good deal over for dinner. The
best dairy districts Of the north were

ARTIFICIAL FooD FOR BEES.

During a season of drouth may BE
prepared as follows: Ordinary table
sugar pounds, water / quart and
vinegar half tablespoonful. Boil
and keep stirring for a few minutes
to a thick syrup. Do not let it burn.
This syrup is suitable for autumn
feeding, while during the spring and
summer double the quontity of water
would not be excessive, if the object
be the raising of brood or the build
ing of comb. Should the syrup crys-
talize during use. it may be reboiled
with little more acid; the vinegar is

of acetic acid it contains, and tar

a ounce of either being quite suf-
ffcient to convert with 10 minutes
