The Narrative OF a PIainsInan ana n
Tenderfoot.

The Narrative OF a PIainsman ana a
Tenderfoot.
"A tenderfoot and plainsman went
but together to kill deer. The tender
foot rode hastily from point to point,
wasting ammunition and wearled him
self to no purpose. The plalnsman,
bicketing his horse back among the
redars, seated himself calmly on the
brink of a little hill overlooking q trail
that led to the little stream. He made
himself comfortable, then lighted his
pipe and sat still. As the shadows
came creeping across the land the deer
awakening from their idleness began
to move about and a little troop Of
them followed the trail under the hill
toward the water, whereupon the
plainsman calmly picked out the fat
test and killed it, threw it across his
horse and rode to camp. AS he was
frying venison steaks the tenderfoot
returned Disguised, ready to declare
that hunting was played out on these
hills"
There is good game passing u way
.every evening. We may secure 1t If
we will follow the example of the
man who knew how. First, camp by
a trail that game frequents. Next,
stay there. Next, see that your gun
is loaded and when the game comes
along bag it. Above all. do not fail
to wait patiently until the sun goes
down.
The man With pedigreed live stock
needs that quality of patience. While
he is waiting for the game-let him
have patience and put in his time in
lettering his herd, getting ready to
land his customers when the proper
time comes. The tenderfoot in the
stock industry frets and fumes, sells
out if prices decline, tries another
breed, buying when prices are high,
neglects the breeding problem and the
development Of the young stock and
ut the close declares that 'there is no
game in the hills."-Breeder's Gazette.

barrel shotgun. The taper system of
choke boring gun barrels leaves the
inside dimensions unchanged until
about an inch from the muzzle, where
the bore is made one or two guages
smaller than elsewhere. The object Of
this provision is to concentrate the shot
before leaving the barrel, thereby max
ing q better pattern, or throwing more
pellets in a circle Of 4 given size.
UNFORTUNATELY, these guns will not
shoot buckshot, and every hunter has
at some time in his life desired to use
these heavy shot. My invention makes
both a cylinder and choke bore of a
single gun. 1t consists of two shot
sections, either Of which may be
screwed on to the end Of the barrel.
One Of these IS choke bored, and the
other has a cylinder bore for buck
shot. Thus I make practically two
guns out of one. This ought to prove
a boon to sport loving men who could
not afford 20 buy more than one"

determination of Rats.

Sir James Crichton-B Browne in his
address to the sanitary inspectors at
Bournemouth referred in some detail
to plague epidemics, and affirmed, in
c~ontravention of Lord CurZon's recent
remarks, that administrative energy
in sanitation has greatly restricted its
ravages, and promises to control them
in future. All sanitary work has wide
spread effects but has to undergo spe-
cial adaptation. In the case of plague
the popularity is rats, and without
waiting for an epidemic q crusade
against them should be undertaken.
They are useless, altogether noisome,
and probably promoters Of other dis
eases besides plague. They should be
exterminated, and he would enlist the
sporting propensity to assist in the
process. Rat-catching was as exciting
and quite as elevating as pigeon shoot
ing. The sporting papers should de-
scribe the battues, report the bags and
give portraits Of the record breakers,
for great things might be expected

New attractions are expected to be
lent to rowing by the device Of a
Belgian which enables the oarsman
to face in the direction the boat is
moving. Rowing in the ordinary way
has its disadvantages, as every one
knows who has suddenly bumped into
another boat or some other obstruc-
ton. The Belgian invention is de-
signed to obviate the necessity OF turn
ing the head in order to see that the
course is clear.
The movements of the oarsman are
the same as if he were rowing with his
back to the bow. Each a is in two
parts, jointed and fitted to the oar
lock, the parts being connected with
each other by a sector or toothed gear,
working between two plates furnished
with axles, upon which the sectors

might naturally protest. The new sys.

advantages that this disadvantage is
not important. In addition to enabling

oars is said to permit Of much greater
