CUBA AND THE SPORTSMAN.
Il is Paradise for Hunters of Wild Game.

II IS Pdrac.Se Tor hu1tefS OF Hiiu ua!ie.
While Cuba offers such a haven to
the invalid it is Il paradise for the
sportsman. wild game and fish of all
kinds being abundant.
Parties of gentlemen on horseback,
with their pack of hounds. hunt the
feet footed deer. 1t is a common
thing for small party to kill eight or
ten deer in a day.
The wild boar is plentiful, and some
times. if cornered, dangerous. espe-

called "un Solitario," which will tear
dog to pieces or make green hunt
cr climb a tree, but Cuban easily
kills him with a machete. The island
boar sometimes weighs 200 or 300
pounds. and has huge tusks. often five
or six inches in length. The meat of
the female is much reiiShcd by the
natives. Wild dogs and cats. wild cat
tie. horses. and jackaSses abound. But
the jutia, peculiar only to Cuba, which
looks like Il cross between squirrel
with rats tail and rabbit, and
which lives in the trees and feeds on
nuts and leaves, is the great delight
of the Cuban.
Fowls are in great numbers. Wild
guinea hens and turkeys are found il
focks of from % to 100. The whistle
of the quail and the fiutter of the
pheasant and perdiz are heard on all
sides in the rural and mountain re.
gions. Ducks in abundance come over
from Florida in the winter and return
with the spring. Wild pigeons, with
their white tops and bodies Of blue,
larger somewhat than the domestic
bird. offer. in hunting, the greatest
sport to gentlemen who will be re-
strained within reason. In the early
mornings the pigeons generally go to
feed on the mangle berries when ripe,
and which grow by the sea or near
some Swampy place. I have known a
party Of three persons to kill 1000 OF
the pigeons within n few hours.
Robiches, tojosas and guanaros are
found in the thick woods.
Mocking and blue birds, orioles, tur-
pals, negritos, parrots, and n thou

The naturalist Poey says there are
GAL distinct species Of fish in the Cuban
waters. Among those that delight the
sportsman are the red snapper, lista.
manta. gallego. cubera, surela, and
garfsh. The sierra, which weighs
from forty to sixty pounds, is extreme
ly game. as is lie romeo, so called be-
cause it snores when brought out Of
the water For heavy sport, fishing
for sharks, which are good for moth
ing, or the gusa which weighs from
400 to COO pounds and is excellent eat
ing. offers abundant exercise. 1t is a
daily occurrence to see schools Of fish,
numbering from hundreds to many
thousands. each fish weighing from
one to four pounds. swimming around
the bays and harbors waiting for a
bait. Any American who enjoys good
fishing can find his fondeSt dreams
more than satisfied in Cuba.
Delicious shrimps, crabs and lob
sters, oysters and clans abound. The
Holsters have no claws and weigh
from two to eight pounds. They are
caught at night in shallow places along
the sandy beach. torch. harpoon and
net being the necessary outfit. Some
OF the rivers abound in alligators, but
few hunt them.

Cows and Medicine.

Mr.. G. L. Gabrilsen of Iowa rarely
ever gets a thing wrong about COWS.
His letter on page TIA 1 hope has been
read carefully by every reader of the
Review who keeps a COW. He wants
his cows to go dry from two to three
months between calves. So do l. He
believes the one who gives his cows a
rest of from 60 to 80 days will have
equally good returns for food and
care as one who milks his COWS to with
in month of parturition. So do l.
Mr.. Gabrilsen believes greed for q
short rest between calves mas entailed
disease upon the dairy COW and weak
ened her calves, I do too. He says
as calving time approaches the cows
physical condition should be closely
watched, She should be properly fed
and well treated so she will do well
at calVing time. So say I. He believes
in oats, as do, and he believes EPSON
or glander salts should be among the
medical stores of every we'll regulated
farm. But l don't. Honor bright! L

A breeding Mule.

'Thus far and no farther" was Ma
lures edict when she permitted the
apparent inconsistent creation Of the
mule; by crossing the jack upon the
mare, and to all intents and purposes
the end is reached by the one cross,
mare mules, as a rule, not possessing
the power to reproduce their kind,
though coming in heat, periodically, as
other mares do, says Indiana Farmer.
There are, however, isolated cases on
record Of mule conceiving to the SER
vice of stallion and producing foal,
though 1t is not shown that the foal
ever lived beyond period Of few
months. One case of the kind is related
that occurred in Virginia over fifty
years ago. was not suspected until the
arrival Of the foal; the dam having
been constantly at work until the
strange event took place. It is said
that she showed little or no udder
development, but milk secretion was
evidently In a natural condition for the
foal which arrived in a skinny and del
icate shape soon began to pick up and
thrive, but at five months Of age 1t
sickened and died. The following year,
the same mule produced another foal,
having been served by young stallion
running in the pasture with her; this
foal, as with the other. partook more
Of the characteristics of the horse than
Of those of the dam, and was a strong,
healthy fellow until he had reached
about year old, then he died, despite
the care and skill that were used to
save his life. The mother of these
colts was a mule in every sense Of the
word and without the shadow of a
doubt and the experience is a very re-
markable one. There are probably
other such cases. but in them all they
seem to have come into the world as
monstrous and unwelcome exceptions
to Natures decree, soon to perish and
pass out of existence. It is well thai
it is so; the mule is a serviceable, use
full servant to mans requirements, bu
when it comes to further perpetuatior
of the species, no improvement, gail
or good can result therefrom and any
attempt in that direction can result il
nothing but infinite disorder and con
fusion.

The Dog Pest.

A Canadian exchange talks of the
dog pest as follows:
One of the great drawbacks to the
comfortable keeping of sheep in Can
ada and the United States is the preva-
1ence of dogs which worry sheep. Our
dog laws are not so rigid as they ought
to be. The farmers of Canada ought
to rally round their respective min
listers of agriculture and back them
strongly enough to get good wholesome
dog laws passed in every province in
the Dominion. In Kansas a very use
full plan Of frightening away dogs has
been found to be the putting of COW
bell on every third sheep. A writer
recommends the following methods:
Get some small sponges and soak them
in melted poisoned lard or tallow, and
then place the sponge where the dogs
will be likely to get them. The sheep
or other stock will not touch the
sponges, but the dogs will. You will
be in no danger Of poisoning anything
you don't want to. The sponges are
indigestible, and will never leave the
dogs stomach, and the owner of the
dog will believe he has got a dog 60
ing mad and will not only kill that dog
but every other one he has" This
writer also adds: "No sheepman should
be without Winchester, and should
know how to use it, too" These meth
DDS are harsh; but circumstances might
Justify their use. We should rather SEE
effective dog laws passed.

Live Stock Feeders and breeders.

I take this opportunity of advising
all interested of the calling of the
American Livestock Feeders AMI
Breeders convention at the state CAPT
toll rooms, st. Paul. January IL and II
next. Its objects will be, first, to dis
cuss the breeding of the best types
Of live stock to meet the demands Of
the market second, kinds of food and
manner of feeding to produce an ami
NAL that will bring the top market
price; third, marketing live stock. Dur
ing the past several years the live stock
interest has. increased very rapidly in
Minnesota, the Dakotas, and over the
Northwest generally; and there are
hundreds, even thousands, Of new be.
ginners in this business, who are
steadily increasing their herds. The
meeting, however, will be national in
it's scope, and is intended to represent
the live stock interests for discussion
OF the important points above men
toned, both of the United States and
Canada Its object is to bring together
beginners in stock raising, and exper-
fenced breeders and feeders, in order
that there may be a mutual exchange
of views and methods in the manner
of feeding and breeding live stock. Low
railway rates, both east and west of
st. Paul, are expected, and eminent ex-
perts in breeding and feeding have al
ready signified their intention of be-
ing present, from Pittsburg on the
East, to the Pacific ocean on the West.
The various live stock organizations
throughout the United States and Can
ada are invited to appoint delegates to
be in attendance to represent their or
carnations, and in addition, all persons
interested in the breeding and feeding
of live stock will be accepted as dele
gates, by reporting their names and
addresses to the secretary upon the
day Of their arrival at st. Paul. The
council of arrangements extends to
YOUR paper a most cordial invitation to
be represented at the convention. The
ripe experience of your editorial staff
cannot but be highly beneficial in the
deliberations of the meeting.

The water supply.

1t is safe to say that nothing is of
more Importance to the gardener and
florist thar. an abundant supply OF
water, and this supply always under his
control, writes 3. S. HoXie in Wlscon-
sin Horticulturist. The man or Wo-
man who wishes to cultivate flowers
and plants and who gives them line
chance in spring and early summer, OF
late years suddenly awakes in midsum-
mer to the fact that they begin to
wither and die. Resort is at once had
to the watering pot, and pailful after
pailful from the we'll or cistern pump
is used. The earth constantly drinks it
in and every day calls for more, ana
we bend our energies to supply the
want, but finally gave up in despair
while we mourn the loss of our now
ers and hope that next year may De
better. My memory recalls when one
year had as fine a growth OF Dahllas

planted out fifty hills which promised
a fine show of autumn bloom, but alas!
not dozen blossoms appeared, and IN
the fall the bulbs were weak and puny.

varieties), were fit to plant the next
spring. The Gladiolus beds showed
but imperfect bloom and so on to the
end of the chapter, for outdoor plants.
So the question had but two alterna-
tives, either permanent water supply
or no garden and lawn. The right end
of the question for me was supply OF
water with windmill and elevated
tank, so that now by aid Of gravitatiOn
and rubber hose never have a lack
of water when need it, though have
sometimes lacked time to use it. Our

Increase of Insect Enemies.

1t needs little argument to prove that
the enemies of cultivated plants are
steadily increasing, and | think It can
De easily shown that they will continue
10 increase so long as the conditions,
Tor which we are in large part respon-
slble, remain as they are at present. /
10 not by any means regard this as
calamity. On the contrary. look upon
the fact that our insect and fungous
Toes are increasing as direct proof that
we are progressing, for, as Professor
Bailey has said, "Our enemies increase
because cultivation induces change Of
habits in wild organisms; because it
presents an eVer-increasing variety OF
food, or host plants; because the food
supply is large and in more or less
continuous areas; and finally, because
the natural equilibrium, or tension, is
destroyed" It follows, therefore, that
the more we put forth our energies to
improve our native plants or to change
their habits; the more we endeavor to
increase the variety and number of our
cultivated vines, trees, and shrubs; the
more we extend our orchards, our vine
yards, and our fields, just so much
more do we disturb the equilibrium in
nature, and just so much more must
we expect to burden ourselves with
the work Of maintaining this unstable
condition by more or less artificial
means. Where an insect or fungus had
one chance hundred years ago to wax
strong and spread, it has now thou
sand chances, for unbroken orchards
and vineyards and millions of nursery
trees cover the country where then
only wild plants grew. 1t is but nat
ural, then, that man, seeing the on
ward march of his enemies, should look
about him and wonder how it will all
end, and how he, as an individual, is
to obtain relief. In many cases he has
found a way Of doing this by adopting
certain more or less empirical meth
DDS. Again, with fuller appreciation
of the fundamental principles underly-
ing plant growth, he has learned, part
ly by intuition, to keep his plants ia
health, and when he has reached this
stage he stands far in advance of his
neighbor who waits until his plants are
diseased and then begins to look about
for spraying apparatus.-B. T. Gal
