Cattle receipts ran heavy, about 500
more than the corresponding day last
year. There was a good demand for fat
stuff, with prices fully steady. Among
the offerings were few scattering head
of good steers and choice cows, but the
bulk was only fair to good. Gamers
were rather slow sale at pareIy steady
prices. In the stock cattle alleys the de-
mand was not exceptionally good. No
quotable change in prices from last week.
With the exception of stock heifers and
a few punches of yearling steers the Of
ferings were not good quality, and the
common cattle were very slow sale.

DUCK HUNTERS AROUSED.
The Practice of batting Causes an
Animated Discussion.


CHURCH CREEK. Nd. March Ga
movement which may revolutionize the
present shooting OF river ducks in Dorches-
ter has been started by several sportsmen
Of the county and it has caused much dis
cussion.
The manner OF taking ducks on the fresh
waters and much OF the shallow salt water
Of Dorchester is through the batting Of
large amounts of grain at the feeding and
roosting grounds. The advisability OF dis
continuing this batting is the issue.
Batting here Is a comparatively recent
introduction. dozen years ago enough
ducks were taken without batting Now
at every ducking shore batting is constant
" within reach. and the ducks become even
fatter than the average domestic fowls
Previous to batting il was the custom OF
river ducks to feed during the day on tae
mud fats and shallow ponds and to rOosI
at night in open water. Now their habits
have become reversed, and the shallow riv-
er and marshy pond receive their influx
of fowls only after dark Under cover of
night they feed at the bats and leave be-
fore day to seek the waters Of the bay.
where in small punches they become prs p
ticalIy inaccessible. The successful hunter
Of river ducks is, therefore, he who shoots
at night. contrary to both moral and civil
laws.
The theory Of not batting would tend. ac-
cording TO many shooters. to decrease the
stock Of ducks. They say that fowls would
seek other waters for the grain which they
have learned to love better than the natu-
raj foods on which they throve previously.
Others, and probably the majority. be
lieve that by prohibiting the use Of bait
the ducks will gradually relaspe into their
former habits OF feeding during the day in
accessible water. The material effect, eth
er good or bad. of bait on the stock OF
ducks is a recognized fact and the Difficult
ty lies in securing the experience from
duckers Of some river who have expert
mented under like conditions.
