The open season for hunting pheas-
ants, woodcock and squirrels begins next
Tuesday, October 1st. Pheassnts and
woodcock are not going to be plentiful
this season, Notwithstanding some reports
to the contrary. The persistent wet and
cold weather during May and June, the
nesting season for these birds, played
hayoc with the young broods and few of
them lived through the inclemency, but
there is promise of good shooting in the
squirrel woods owing to the influx of
these migratory quadrupeds, and 1t is
probable that any successful nimrod will
be able to bag the limit which is six IN
one day.
"A Southern corn cake recipe is a
valuable addition to ones scrap book.
Mix and sift three fourths OF cupful of
cornmeal, one and one fourth cupfuls of
pastry flour, one fourth of cupful of
sugar, one half tesspoonful of salt aud
five (leveD teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der; add one cupful of milk, one egg well
beaten and one and one half tablespoonful
of melted butter. Beat thoroughly, turn
into shallow buttered pan, and bake
twenty-five minutes in hot oven. Cut
in squares, and arrange on bread plate.
If richer corn cake is liked, two table,
spoonfuls of butter may be used.-From

The Derrick says: "Some of tho old
timers scout the idea that not so many
game fish are being killed by gigging as
the reports given out would indicate.
That salmon are easy to take with the
spear they acknowledge, but they declare
that it is their experience that the man
who would be able to take three bass
with spear in one night is an expert and
entitled to a medal. They hold the
theory that much more good than harm
attaches TO the present law. That per-
mitting spearing has done away with dy-
nsmiting 10 great extent and that the
general run of men, while spearing, take
advantage of every opportunity to kill
the alligstors which feed mostly at night,
and on fish spawn at that"
