A Farmers Right to Ills Own Game.

Sixty-nine prominent farmers in Lick ing county, l., have issued manifesto to all hunters that atmay attempt to shoot game on their lands. They have pub Rshed in the county paper notice that hereafter they will arrest and prosecute any persons found hunting or shooting upon the said farms without permission.
 When the reasons for this course are known, the farmers cannot be blamed The town hunter Is usually pot hunter While the farmer is busy gathering his crops hunters from town appear i'll droves with dog and gun and sweep like Il bosom of destruction over the land. They fire trees, break down fences and skin the woodlands of all tho farmers game. The town sportsman does not even conflne his shooting to tho wild game. Many fat bullet, pig or lamb finds it's way into the pot hunters game bag. Not unfrequently. indeed, ill puro wanton mischief tho alleged sportsman fires a charge of shot into the farmer 8 COW or horse. If remonstrated with, oursing is all tho answer he returns.
 Tho farmers at length recognize that they own the quail, squirrel, rabbits, etc., upon their own lands as much as they own the ducks and chickens they rear. If the rura1ist protects tho quail and it gets it's living off his land, 1t is his opinion that he, and he alono, is en- titled to kill it when he wants to or let alone, as ho chooses. A writer in The Rural Now Yorker suggests that farmers generally adopt tho plan of tho Licking county men and keep outside hunters strictly off their land at all times. Then, when they are ready, let club of them take half holiday from farm work and themselves go quail hunting.

In Tennessee.

Judging from an article in The South ern Stock Farm, the whole state of Ton nessee is waking up. A new generation is coming on the scene. According to the above authority. 1t was the policy of former inhabitants of tho state--and @ blessed lot of old hunkers they must have been-to discourage immigration. "Let us keep the land for our chil- dren, they said. Now, however, this old fogy, tumble down policy Is revers- ed. During tho past three years 8, ,062 families have settled in the state from other parts of the Union. It Is interest ing to observe that those who made homes for themselves in east Tennessee were mostly from tho southern states, while those who found place in middle and west Tennessee were from the north and northwest.
 All of them arc happy and thriving, according to The Stock Farm, and Ten nessee wants more like them In all her 98 counties. Good land can be bought at anywhere from $2 to $10o the acre, according to location, previous eultiva- tion and quality. Tho climate is mild and healthful.
 The state land commissioners arc go, ing to give Tennessee boom, and they are right. They point with pride to a saying of somebody that everything a human being wants can be raised or manufactured i'll Tennessee except tea and coffee, and these, it is modestly as serted, can easily be replaced by "indig- enous products that make worry fair imitation. Tennessee is evidently go- ing to move up toward the head of the procession.
