be of the best, and that means at
least moderate expense. Expert
guns" that are largely advertised in
the country, can be gotten as low as
SIS, whereas a gun for SIS would scarce
ly be safe venture.
There are serviceable guns to be had
at moderate prices and the best and
safest way is to buy only of reliable
parties after thorough examination
and testing of the piece.
The weight of gun is a serious mat
ter to woman, and very often the
novice will fatigue herself early in the
day, spelling fine chance of sport by
a needlessly heavy gun. And it must
be remembered that a rifle that seems
comparatively light for target shooting
will seem several pounds heavier after
ten or fifteen-mile tramp. The light
est weight gun that the nature of the
sport will permit, even though the re-
coil is greater, is the best. The small
est gun, and one that is a favorite with
women, is 28-gauge and weighs AZ
pounds. This miniature firearm is very
popular in England with all sportsmo II,
and in America is often preferred by
men for hunting partridge. woodcock
and similar small game.
The weight of gun should lie be-
tween the two hands. There it bal
ances well. A well balanced gun al
ways appears lighter than one of equal
weight which balances poorly. A good
gun when placed on end will be found
to stand upright, or very nearly SO.
Women speedily learn to fill their
own shells, and no hunting outfit is
complete for woman without powder
flask, leather bag, cartridge belt and
innumerable pockets, all leather lined
In fact leather is a most necessary ad-
junct to the hunting costume through
out. The leggings should be Of stout
leather, and the short skirt should al
ways be faced with broad band of
soft leather. The gloves, when any are
worn, should be of buckskin, and a
bag to be swung over the shoulder, to
carry lunch and field glasses. must in
variably be of leather.
Some women prefer am entire buck
skin hunting suit, as it does not wrin-
kle, muss, nor grow old-fashioned; but
it possesses the disadvantage of weight,
and sometimes, too, great heat. For
a trip through the Rockies or a moose
hunt in December it is. however. just
the thing. 4o
Taxidermy is delight to genuine
sportsman. for it involves a keen intelli-
gence and an artistic temperament The
object Of a taxidermiSt gun is TO enable
a hunter to use both cartridge and shell
while carrying only rife. ia skin or
a small animal il to be dressed rea.'r
it must not be torn with heavy car
fridge, and with the use of taxider-
mist gun the sportswoman can be ready
for any kind Of game asfH NV
Many sportsmen prefer to carry sep
arate guns for different purposes; but
this involves a weight of firearms to
which the average woman is not yet
physically equal.
The real sportswoman has long ago
abandoned the use Of d shotgun for
small game except. of course. where she
wishes to preserve the skin intact.
She discovered when she first began to
hunt for grouse and woodcock that
only the movies sprinkIed her game

Important Discoveries Recently Made iA
England and America.
Probably in no department Of re-
search is greater amount of investi-
cation going forward and valuable
data and actual discovery being made,
says the Mark Lane Express, than in
dairy science, and while some of the
discoveries have been of little or no
value. wonderful amount of useful
and practical material has been placed
in the hands of the dairyman. Among
the things announced. since it has
been shown how nearly the ferments
and fiavors in butter are associated, Is
that if certain acids are added to sweet
cream it is not necessary to wait for
the development of Tactic bacteria In
the cream, but that it could be churned
at once and churned quite readily and
the true flavor secured. Investigators
have been 1T work on this problem,
and an announcement of the results has
been made. The most satisfactory re-
suits came from using hydrochloric acid
diluted ia twice its bulk of water, and
Kidding this in small quantities to the
sweet cream. Everything was salts
factory, except that the butter had no
aroma, though IL was pronounced fair
and good by the judges. The butter
kept well and had water content of
1s5{ per cent; but the low flavor was
against IT, though not q trace of the
acid was to be detected or found by
analysis About the most important
thing brought out was that butter
seems to be fully dependent upon
bacteria for true flavor rather than the
food, provided that the latter is whole
some and not of u character to impart
obnoxious havors to the milk, which,
after all, could not be called butter
flavor in any sense Of the word.
