In the Sugar Belt.

A Louisiana planter writing to Home
and Farm says: OF all crops, | think
sugar cane is the hardest work and
most expensive, but sugar cane can
stand more hardship, such as drought
and rainy seasons, than the majority
of our crops.
For there Is no rest for the sugar
farmer. He plants his cane in early
spring, very often in January, and
once planted it needs constant atten-
ton until July; then 1t is laid by"
But don't think for moment farmers
are foot loose until harvesting time,
for they are poor people to patronize
the western feed man; consequently
every man who produces sugar cane
has a third of his land every year In
corn, and when his corn Is laid by he
sows cowpeas. 1t is the main feed
down here, and when the season Is
favorable we make enough to last I'M
til spring. Then we use green feed'
such as sorghum and drill corn.

WING SHOOTING.
Il Cannot Be Taught to Hunters BY

Il Cannot Be Taught TO HunteTs "
Reading Books.
Wing shooting can no more be theo-
retically taught than can riding. skat-
Ing sailing a boat milking a COW or
playing the violin. Practice and perse-
verance In this, as in all field sports,
can alone make perfect, While the most
persistent effort even. then often fails
to make a 'crack shot" Certain rules,
however, must govern the beginner,
which, II observed, will materially aid
him in becoming an expert.
When novice takes the field for
game he is very apt to become nus
tered, or ratified" at the critical mo-
ment when the bird Is flushed, ana
then he will stare, open mouthed, ana
wonder how 1t happened. This often
occurs in the field, and the tyro invarl-
ably has some plausible excuse to or
fer. His "gun was not cooked" he
"stubbed his toe just as the bird rose
or some equally weak explanation Is
made, or else he lays all the blame on
his dogs. whose thoughts, could they
but express them, 1t would be interest
ing to interpret.
The best wing shooters do. not close
one eye In aiming, nor do they follow
the bird In its flights with the muzzle
of the gun, but closing one eye Is ad,
mittedly better than tightly shutting
both, as many young would be sports
men have been known to do.-James

Camp Perry, Port Clinton, o., Aug.
23.-The national rifle contests here
are now well started, and already the
dope fiends are beginning to figure the
relative places the different teams will
occupy when the tale is finally told.
North Dakota is given from the
nineteenth place by the most optimis-

There are thirty-four teams at the
shoot. Of these the Naval Academy,
Kentucky, New Hampshire, North Da-
kota and Wyoming are competing in
a national sport for the first time.
The range is without doubt, says
General Drain, president Of the Ma
tional Rifle association, the finest in
the United States. OF course it is in
the embroyo now, but is being improv-
ed as fast as possible. There are 100
targets set up on the lake shore and
six men fire at each target alternately.
A fine clubhouse, owned by the o.

all times. There is one department for
officers and one for enlisted men and
every comfort is provided for the visi-
tors. 4
