about thirty feet each. One hundred
and twenty-five volts of electricity are
turned on, enough to make a sharp,
singing sensation, without leaving a
mark or bruse on the beef. The work
of punching is done in One-half the
time and with half the eXertion. The
effect of the magic touch on the steer
is amusing to see.
A steer touched on the left hip imme-
diately throws his hind quarters as far
as he can to the right. Then he cocks
one ear straight ahead and one straight
back, switches his tail and starts
straight ahead. He don't care for
second attack. The electricity speaks
to him in a language he doesn't un-
derstand. There is look Of surprise
in his eyes, and he seems to know that
ell the trouble lies in the end of that
stick He doesn't stop to get mad or
howl. He has urgent business at the
other end of the pen. That is exactly
where the drivers and knockers want
him. The new method completely does
away with all back rushes and drag
gng in with chains, for just as long
as the puncher is behind the steer is
just as far as he can get in front. The
saving of time and bruised meat are
also items to be considered.

MARSH HUNTING.
A Rare Sport Which Is at Its Best
in September.

From Country Life in America.
Shooting in the greenwood is more
or less difficult because of the foliage,
but along the seacoast and on the open
marshes sport is at it's best. Septem-
ber brings the great flight of wander
ers, the yellow-legs and plover and
their smaller cousins, the sand-pipers.
Yesterday the marshes stretched fiat
and brown, Il desolate waste over
| which a fish crow croaked dismally
and night-herron labored with heavy
wing. This morning as you set your
decoys and established yourself COM
fortably in your snug blind an hour
before sunrise, out of the dusk north
and east and west comes the clear
piercing whistle of yellow-legs and
the long-drawn, plaintive call of the
black-breasted plover. Above the
white sand dunes rises the red rim of
the sun. Before its broad shafts the
hosts of the night flee to the distant
hills. The browns and greens of the
marshes assert themselves. Hark!
Those whistlers are in the creek bed a
mile away. You take out your little
tin call and reply. Presently you know
that the birds are awning. Call for
call they answer. You can see them
now, a dozen specks against the sky
line far up the marsh. Nearer they
come and louder and clearer becomes
the whistling. In splendid flight, they
are passing. Now for your art as
caller, Carefully the little tin whistle
talks for you. The birds reply A
few coaXing notes bring doubtful in
quires. Then the birds see the decoys
and swing to them sharply. Now must
the little tin whistle talk to them un-
ceasingly. What does it say? Only
the birds know. All the air is filled
with their whistling as they wheel
over the decoys. Now the long legs
drop and the equally long wings meet
above their heads as they alight among
the decoys. 1t is the moment you have
waited for. The good gun speaks, and
speaks again. Then as sounding the
alarm, the survivors take wing. the
seductive traitorous little tin whistle
begins again. The birds hesitate, cir
Gle, then back they come.
So the day passes. Now II Is flock
or mayhay n single bird, yellow
legs, a curlew, a black-breasted plover
or beetle-head sudden shower
sweeps across the marshes. and as the
sun breaks out again, behold each
blade of grass tipped with diamond.
On one side low sand dunes shut out
the sea. on the other side In the far
distant circle the highlands. Between
is the level stretch of brown marshes
broken by stilted stack of salt hay
and cut by winding creeks. These are
the environments of sport with
which comparatively few shooters are
acquainted, the sport of marsh bird
shooting. And it is at its best In this
first month of the fall.
