these old-time hunters that reduced
the game supply so that hunter must
number his deer by hundreds instead OF
thousands, even though of royal rank.
Emperor Williams way of hunting is
not to be compared with that of such
sturdy hunters as Emperor Macmillan
and Charles ", who faced So0-pound
boars with short-handled spears afoot,
or killed chamois with crossbow
when one foot was slipping toward
thousand-foot precipice six inches
away. Sitting comfortably on noun
tain runway while the chamois isdriven
down from above, as Emperor William
does, and following the chamois along
steep paths where slip or tremor or
a broken bit of iron meant certain
death, as Macmillan did, are very diff
ferent. Macmillan could throw spear
through deer and could dodge falling
rocks with the best of mountain hunt
ers. With half dozen men behind
him to load his guns, Wilhelm shoots
rabbits as they come running at him
rabbits that have been hand fed. En-
peror Macmillan shot wild boars, load
ing his own crossbow, because his UNI
derlings had not the muscle to bend the
steel. When the old-time hunter had
little sport with the rabbits he did
not have them driven to him, but took
a light sportsman's crossbow and
hunted through the woods, after the
still hunters manner, and shot the
animals not with weapon that spread
shot over yard of surface, but with .
half-inch pellet, which was often re-
covered and fired again and again.-N.

featuring Plate Glass.
Recent Investigations have disclosed
that in the Great Salt lake is contained
the foundation for another industry,
and that from it is to be obtained a
pure quality of sulphate of soda. In
Analysing the crude salt of the lake
traces of sulphate of soda, sulphate OF
lime and calcium chloride are found,
and 1t has long been the custom for a
few enterprising men to go to the lake
In winter time and gather from the
shores and bars what has been known
to them as winter salt. In fact, the
presence of large crystals appearing
like salt and found only in cold weather
has long been known and commented
upon. This winter salt" as it has been
called, is really very pure article OF
sulphate of soda, commonly called glau-
Der salt, and 1t has been subject OF
much comment in the astthat so much
of 1t could be found in the winter time
las result of its capitalization at 30
degrees temperature or lower), when
such very small evidence of its presence
can be obtained from an analysis OF the
water of the lake or it's salt. This, how.
ever, is now fully cleared up.
A few weeks ago the salt company
found it necessary to extend, by ditch
or flume, their pumping plant at Salt
air, owing to the lowering of the lake,
and the manager, in prosecuting the
work, struck, at depth Of six inches
below the old lake. bed, this soda dc.
post. He brought samples to town
and it was found to be pure sulphate Of
soda mixed with silica, which can be
separated without trouble. Sulphate
of soda is used largely by the soap
and glass works of the country and
gives a particular luster to plate glass
that can be obtained in no other way.
While large quantities of carbonate

uct that is found in Salt lake in such
vast quantities obviates the first chem

The small grains fed the world for
ages before cotton and corn were
heard of and should receive now more
attention than they do. AS we wish
to sow the corn field of the previous
season we must again remove the
stalks for stover and harrow. Then
SOW the small grain down, pillow in
shallow and again harrow. The
writer prefers to plant wheat, rye
and oats in this way. II fertilizers
arc used, SOW it on the ground
ahead of the harrow. 1t is then
near the surface where it can
be readily decomposed by the slight
warmth Of the winters sun, and as
easily reached by the roots of surface

grain in the spring with mixture OF
nitrate OF soda and some form of pot,
ash. This will not only secure a good
crop of small grain, but will be OF
great benefit to the succeeding crop Of
peas.
Any method of rotation that leaves
out the common COW pea is fatally de-
fective. All stubble land should be

Every week or so cable dispatch an
nounces that Emperor William Of Ger
many has killed q big bag of rabbits,
or, as on one occasion couple of weeks
ago, one of the biggest stays slain in
Germany in recent years. To one who
follows these dispatches it is evident
that the emperor kills great deal OF
game; that he is proud of the fact, and
that he can kill his deer man fashion by
still-hunting, and this in spite of the
fact that his left arm is practically
useless. A German paper, Der VALID
mann. gives list of the game that the
emperor has killed up to May 81, 1896.

 The event will, no doubt, serve to cement the bonds of good feeling and fellowship which so happily ex- ist in this community between our cieizens generally and the laboring Classes.
