MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Keeping Out Foreign Hunters.

The boards OF supervisors OF mum
Der OF Delta counties have adopted
stringent orders against invasions by
foreign hunters. This is good policy,
and the same should be rigidly enforced.
Game disappears and diminishes fast
enough at the hands OF home sportsmen
alone. And there is no sense in allow
ing bands Of hunters from abroad to
camp In the woods for days and weeks,
Staying and crippling up the game. II
they want to enjoy the privileges and
pleasures OF hunting they should pur-
chase lands and establish game pre-
serves. There are number Of deslra-
bio locations for this where sufficiently
large bodies OF land can bo obtained at
reasonable rates. These hunters from
other States are usually men who could
very we'll afford to invest In wild lands,
and pay for their diversion. -Vicksburg

Mr. Ounce Hammond, who resides
near Anderson, S. c., has given prac-
teal proof of the fact that it is folly
for southern farmers to have their
corn houses in the west Last winter
Mr.. Hammond cleared and drained a
quantity of low land, 10 acres. of
which he planted in corn last spring.
From this he gathered SPAS bushels of
merchantable corn, being at the rate
of nearly so bushels per acre. Unlike
western farmers, Mr.. Hammond will
not have to make fuel out Of his corn
to keep his household warm.
