unknown angle is harder thing to hit
than pigeon flushed or thrown from
trap. In fact, pigeon shooters who are
UP in the eighties, killing from eighty
to ninety out of each hundred birds
shot at, are lucky to get so per cent
when dove shooting. In this sport, as
in several others, 1T is shown that be-
cause a man is a good trap shot it does
not follow that he is a good field shot.
In the Rio Grande region of Texas,
wherein the dove abounds, it is shot
wholly over water or when coming to
water. That country is dry, and cat
tlemen find it necessary to build tanks
for their stock by damming some creek
bed and collecting the winter rain, or
by digging a tank and depending on
drainage to store up the water.
These tanks commonly cover an acre
or two, and one of them is probably the
only water in a territory ten miles
square. The dove drinks twice a day,
at early morning and late in the after
noon, and all of the birds on the ten
miles square will come to that tank.
Shooters drive out in four-seated
wagons from the neighboring towns,
unhitch and fasten the horses beyond
reach of small shot, and taking their
retrievers, occupy stands on the banks
of the tanks. They endeavor to reach
the tank when the sun is an hour before
setting, and at this time of year in
southwestern Texas the afternoon tem-
perature is terrific.
Within five minutes after they have
settled. sitting with their backs against
mesquite trees for the little protection
afforded, the first dove appears, coming
like bullet, forty feet high and swing
ing widely from side to side. The first
man who sees it cries Mark" and the
others crouch.
He over whom 1t passes takes a crack
at it, and If he misses the others try.
When the small body strikes the water
one of the retrievers plunges in, grabs
1t and brings it to shore.
BY the time the sun is a half hour
high the shooting has become rapid, so
rapid, in fact, that the gun barrels are
heated beyond bearing. The men have
heavy gloves upon their left hands and
frequently plunge the barrels into the
water to a depth of six inches to cool
them and take out the cake near the
muzzles. 1t is hot work and exhaust

stuffing make it profitable. A fattening

| Stuffing make 1t profitable. "A fattenlnS
station in each locality may in time be
established, but we can not advise any
one to to go into the business on large
scale without thorough understanding
of the manner and methods OF feeding
and handling the fowls. There Is al
ways some loss even when handled by
| the most experienced. At times whole
flock will go back on their food, lose
ground and either die or be turned out
to recover. To avoid this requires ex-
perfence and training in the work. We
know that thousands are fattened In
this way in England, and it will be SO In
this country. Any one can have ma
chine and try few, but the chances of
success are against the inexperienced.
AS we have stated above, this method
will come. AS the incubator and brood
er have worked themselves into general
use, so will this method Of fattening for
market come among US. and our pur-
pose is to guard against losses for our
readers, as we'll as disappointments.
Money will be made by some in this
business, as In every other line; and
the use of this machine will force all to
have better market poultry, or else they
must sell at a low price. But the fat
tening process is like the creamery, the
separator, the threshing machine and
the shredder; there are those who suc-
coed with them all, and by their use
many thousands are benefited. So will
1T be with the fattening machine when
the successful handler establishes a
stuff1ng station in your locality.
To add from one and one-half to
three and one-half pounds to any fowl
iii three weeks time is the work of an
expert at the business. The very rich
est and most fattening foods must be
made use of, all kinds of ailments and
bowel troubles must be guarded
against, and the proper coping must
be provided. 1t will readily be seen
that all this calls for experience, and
the ability to handle enough to make it
profitable.
The foods used by the most success
full are corn meal, barley meal and
buckwheat meal mixed. This mixture
is for yellow meat. For the lighter
colored meat-which they prefer in En-
gland-considerable ground oats and
some rice meal are used; this is mixed
into mash with milk, and some fat
added-not meat, but tallow fat. In
warm weather this food is fed cold, but
In cold weather it is better to have it
warm. Scald the milk, and gradually
stir in as much of the ground oats as
YOU intend to use, and to this add the
other meals as selected, also the rice
meal If you decide to use it. and the
tallow fat. Mix all thoroughly into a |
mash, which will work nicely thru the
medicine. Take the fowl in your arms. |
push the tube into its throat, press
down the lever with your foot, hold one !
band on the birds crop, and as soon as
1T is comfortably full of the food. put it !
back into the coop. The tallow fat is
used only during the last week; and
little water If any is allowed them. all
they require being mixed with their
food.

A STERILE CROSS.

The attempt to produce q hybrid, a
cross between the native buffalo and
our domestic cattle, has proved
success so far as the first cross is
concerned. such hybrid possessing
many very valuable qualities; but, as
is quite often the case with hybrids
so produced. these are infertile, and
this fact necessarily bars the way to
the establishment of such distinctive
breed of cattle. 1t is the same way
with the cross between the wild Can
ada and domestic goose, the product
being q very handsome but sterile
bird.

the town set out shade trees for the
doctor. A short time later the physi-

Immense Shipments Of Feeders
Have Been Made During
the Past Week
THE IOWA FARMERS ARE BUYING
Large Numbers Shipped Into This
State to Consume the Soft Corn
Nearly $4,000 Head Were Handled in

ments From Sioux City.

|! Des Moines, Sept. 29.-The pur-
ichases of stock and feeding cattle by
western farmers who will be long on
soft corn and short on the marketable
article, continue. Two weeks ago all
records since the enormous run of 1898
We're broken. Last week, it is an
inounced, all previous records of the big
stock cattle markets of the west We're
smashed to smithereens.
| Shipments for the first five days of
the last week from the Sioux City
market into Iowa of stock and feeder
cattle averaged over 100 cars a day.
Saturday, as is always the case, the
run was light. The shipments into
Nebraska, Minnesota and southern
Minnesota from the same market, were
close to half the number into Iowa.
The total of stock cattle shipments
for the week from the Sioux City mar
ket was ii, 1888 head The total of ship
preceding week was S,337. The esti-
ers are that the shipments this week
will go 1000 to 5000 higher. The in
quiry from country feeders is as
strong as ever, and there were many
buyers on the market during the last
week who We're unable to make their
selections. Despite the heavy run
prices are firm, and il anything, have
advanced on the better grades.
South Omaha during the week just
ended shipped 1910 head of stock
cattle into the country for soft corn
feeders. OF these fully, IS per cent
went into Iowa. In the same week
Kansas City handled 1865 head of
cattle, and of these over 10000 were
stock cattle which were shipped to
country feeders. Friday a total of 26S
cars containing S,215 feeders were
shipped. Stock cattle added to the
shipments amounted to 14,473 head. OF
the shipments for the week is per cent
were consigned to Iowa points.
The shipments from market points
do not commence to cover the number
that are coming into Iowa. Railroad
authorities estimate that 40 per cent of
the stocker and feeder cattle they are

direct from range points. The North
western and the Burlington roads have
been bringing hundreds of car loads
of range cattle direct from Belle
Fourche and the range shipping points
west of the Missouri river, while the
Milwaukee has been rushing train loads
from Chamberlain. The Rock Island
has brought in large numbers from the
southwest The bigger feeders who
buy in large numbers, they say, first
that it pays them to so direct to the
ranges where the saving of yard
charges, reloading, commission fees,
ETC., are saved. The smaller feeders,
who purchase from one to a half dozen
carloads finds it to their advantage to
buy on the markets.
An idea of the way in which farmers
are going into the small feeding to get
rid of their soft corn is obtainable from
the following list of small shipments
made from the Sioux City market Fri
day, all of the shipments being to Iowa
points:
