PLACE FOR HUNTERS.
GAME is PLENTIFUL IN SOUTHERN
MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS.
Great Wilderness an Ideal Spot For
Those Who Enjoy the Pleasures of
the Chase-venison Stacked Up In
Loads Like Cordwood.

Il am not much of hunter myself
said Col. Joe Mccain of the Iron
Mountain route, but if were you you
wouldn't find me wasting time and
opportunity among any of the north
ern hunting grounds 1 ever heard of
I would shoulder my gun and make
break for southern Missouri and en-
joy sport. l never saw, heard, or read
OF such abundance of wild game as
makes its home in that region and the
contiguous territory of Arkansas. The
latter region is one dense wild, and
SO well adapted to large game that
the bear, the badger and the wildcat
are numerous, and even that savage
American beast, the panther, now vir-
tually extinct east of the Mississippi,
still hunts it's prey in that great wild
erness.
THE southern Missouri country is
more particularly favored by small
game-wild turkeys, grouse, quail and
rabbits, although there are a great
many deer theresa many, in fact,
that one day a native came into lit
tie town where / happened to be, with
wagon-load of venison, just as
farmer might haul in a load of cord
wood to some town up here in the
north The deer were stacked on the
wagon until it was about as much
of load az the mules cared to draw.
They told me down there that such
sight was not uncommon in that re-
gion, the venison being purchased by
local traders and shipped to various
city markets. The venison at that
time could be purchased by the dealers
for from ~ to 2 cents a pound A
2OO-pound buck. whose head and
antlers alone would have been worth
$40, was offered to me for 81.
Bear hunting in the northern Ark
ansas wilderness is great and excita
ing sport from what l have heard told
about it," continued Col. Mccain, ac-
cording to the New York Times "The
bear is hunted on horseback some
times without guns. With trained
dogs the hunters train bruin to his lair
or compel him to seek safety in some
big gum or sycamore tree If tracked
TO his lair the bear is routed out by
the dogs and the hunters kill him
with keen, long-bladed knives, which
they handle with wonderful Skill.
When bear is freed the tree is felled,
and when the tree and bear come
crashing to the ground the dogs are
ready and the fight is between the bear
and the dogs. If a dog is in danger
the hunter-always on the alert to
save his dog-takes a hand in the
fight and knifes the bear. The trained
dogs are very valuable. and they are
of a particular breed and are taught
only bear hunting
The panther is also hunted on
horseback in Arkansas with blood
hounds, but no hunter is brave or rash
enough to attempt to dispatch that
fierce and agile beast with knives, as
he would a bear. The rife finishes
up the sport of a panther hunt

BETTER Demand for common Horses.

BETTER Demand for Common Horses.
Recently the demand for horses st
the Chicago stockyards has improved.
Not only are the exportable horses
bringing better prices than for some
time, but there seems to be quite brisk
buying for farm use. We have fire.
quently pointed out the fact that the
conditions that have existed during the
past eight years would naturally bring
about a scarcity of farm horses. We
have made close inquiry through our
correspondents and find that in hun
dreds of counties in these western
states less breeding has been done of
late years than formerly. Meanwhile,
horses are rapidly wearing out in farm
work. The men that had horses to
shoot six years ago, now have not
even one good farm horse to sell, and
are even looking for horses to buy.
So, now we are told that at the Chi
cago stockyards feature of the
trade is the better demand for medium
chunks for farm horses" Medium to
good animals are quoted at $55 to $50,
and select chunks at $95 to $120. The
demand for mules for farm work Is
also good, these animals selling at $50
and large ones from $3.50 to S17O. There
farms that can be done only by horses;
and this means a constant demand that
can be counted on by horse raiserS.

Stock Conditions In Now Mexico.

From Farmers Review: Stock OF
ali kinds in excellent condition. In 8
radius of thirty miles of this postoffice
there are proba bly, 5000 stock horses,
mostly native mares crossed with we'll
bred studs. Up to about ten years ago
this range was heavily stocked with
cattle, but series Of dry seasons, fol-
lowed by the financial crisis of '93,
caused at least three large cattle COM
pauies to close out their holdings.
Little Men," as owners of small herds
are called, are taking their place,
which is far better for the country.
Large numbers of sheep and Angora
goats are owned in this section, but
owing to the establishment OF the ella
River Forest Reserve in 1899, which
covers the best part OF the county and
upon which sheep and goats are not
allowed to Craze, this industry has
been seriously injured. Up to this
date, January I'd, there has been no
snow except a very light fall upon the
high mountains. Plenty Of good grass
and stock all fat now. They will win
ter in prime condition.-Clement
Hightower. Socorro County, New Mex

Beauty He'pE TO Success,

From Farmers Review: Just how
much the element of beauty enters into
the problem of successful poultry rails
ing it is hard to determine. Opinions
differ immensely as to what is beauty.
The fancier that raises fowls only for
show purposes considers only the beau,
ty side of the question. The true ian
cier puts utility first and beauty sec.
ond. But a utility fowl is always
beautiful, therefore utility and beauty
go together, but not always beauty
and utility. OF course birds that are
attractive in appearance will receive
better care than birds that are not
attractive, and birds that receive good
care produce more profit than those
that do not receive good care. Here
we have beauty first and utility sec
Ond, but birds to De useful must be
bred for utility. This is a subject on
which much could be written.-W. a.

four tracks and permits two passen-

each other at the same time on the

other bridge in the world.

Prof. II. II. Dean: A great many
who use hand separators take the
warm cream fron The separator and
put it in with the cream that has been
skinned in the morning or the pre-
vious day. That practice will result
in poor quality of butter every time
Cream from the separator should al
ways be cooled at once to a tempera-
ture of so degrees. or lower, otherwise
it will be worse for buttermaking than
that obtained in the old way without
separators. Neglecting to wash the
machine properly, and neglecting to
cool the cream properly, are the two
great evils to guard against in the
use of the hand separator. If these two
points are carefully observed, we shall
have better quality of cream, but not
otherwise.

Chicken Hawks.

From Farmers Review: In sey-
eral farm papers from time to time l
have noticed articles on hawks. in
which articles the writers seem to have
a very tender feeling for that bird of
prey. In this locality the hawk plays
havoc with the farmers poultry. |
judge that the writer's in question are
going altogether on theory, when they
advise us to spare the hawks. as they
catch mice, rats and rabbits and only
occasionally a chicken. True enough,
there is a little sparrow hawk that
preys on small birds. mice and rats.
But as the field mice and rats have
their runs under the grass, weeds and
brush. and are principally nocturnal
in their habits, the hawk has small
chance to catch any of them. AS for
the rabbits l can safely say that the
chicken hawk seldom if ever catches a
rabbit, as the rabbit is too strong for
the hawk. The hawk cannot seize the
rabbit by the throat and choke it to
death as he does the chicken. l have
found chickens in ali stages from after
