This Years Crop.

In view of the talk OF war between
England and America the importance
of the food crops becomes more man.
ifcst. War for instance between Ger
many and England would create i'm
mediate demand tor all kinds of food
crops at the same time IL would cur
tail 10 some extent The consumption OF
cotton and dcmoralizo the cotton bias
iness. 1t would undoubtedly transfer
considerable Of tho cotton nlanutacto
RIGS from England to America AMI give
the manufacturers of cotton better
chance in the markets, where during
peace the British manufacturers have
tho business. War may therefore help
the raiscrs of fool aud NAV help the
manufacturers Of cotton, but IL will
not in any degree help the raisers OF
cotton.
Therefore we repeat the suggestion
made heretofore. that the southern
farmer will curtail the cotton acreage
for 1896 and plant more food crops. :
lfthero is war his crops will bring bet
tor prices. If there is peace be can
consume them himself. In any casc
he can get better profit on a smaller
acreage Of cotton and q larger acreage
Of food. Homo and Farm.

Otter Hunting n Sport Very Much Enioyed
by Enclishmen

Otter hunting Is sport very much en-
joyed by Englishmen. The otter is n great
fish eater, and that is why the fishermen
feel themselves compelled to kill 1t. Some
angling clubs and societies offer rewards
for otter kills, and that makes the hunters
angry.
Otter hunting is done with dogs and
men. They go whooping up stream on
tho otters trail, the hired mon keeping In
sho water In line to prevent the animal $
turning down stream, rs tho beast cannot
be trailcd whilo going down. The dogs
como up with and tear the otter to death
If the hunt is successful, but often the
otter tears the dogs. An otter will whip
any dog in tho water.
An English otter of over 80 pounds
weight is big one, and few roach TINT
weight. The biggest ono remembered
weighed 81 pounds and was killed at Bow
thorp, near Norwich. A 80 FOUNDER was
caught in Skeggles water, Westmorlhnd
Some Englishmen used to eat the hearts
of the animals, considering them to be
fine.
The American otter is sly animal
which is not often killed by q gunshot and
as seldom taken with traps since nothing
but the utmost care In setting and batting
the trap will deceive 1t. Once in awhile
Ioue usieruen SEQ otterS along an Adlron-
dock stream, and otter trails are common
on the snow covered Ice back in the woods
or on streams opposite olearings. Some
times the animals are seen on the Ice by
rabbit hunters and are shot at, but few Of
the wounded or even killed creatures are
recovered, since they ore usually on the
ice near holes, and If merely wounded 90
under the water and drown rather than
let a man get them. Their last kick is an
endeavor to get out Of reach.-New York
