 Squirrels and Turkeys.
 There Is no question" said a sports man, that there Is an abundance Of wild turkeys and squirrels this year where they have been known to abound before. And. if you will excuse my saying 1t, I am . turkey and squir- rel hunter Precious few have been the gobblers that have slain but those I enjoyed. On the other hand I have brought to earth any number of squirrels. It may sound something like eating sugarcane or watermelon or any other game of the negro, but I am fond of this squirrel shooting. It's a pretty stealthy business and to be successful you must be quieterI than hunting any other game Of which know. It requires really more strat. egy, In my opinion, than in the chas- Iy the crash of leaves or rubbish gives warning to the little animals before you can get in shooting distance. That Is the reason why d pavement walker has little success n staying squifrslH. he makes too much noise. Ordinarily the best results are obtained from . good squirrel dog. I have seen them trained to a fnish--trained So that they will pay no attention to any oth-

One must keep the ground turned. keep the bugs on the move and the ravages will be less. They are the toughest creatures you ever saw have, however, taken a handful of the insects. and placed them in a niche be- tween two hundred pounds of Ice. twenty-four hours when I lifted, the ioe found them rolling and laauirIn~ ing as if nothing had happenedN e
 Tn my opinion science could some day devise a way of externinatthg the weevil But for advance in science and progress there must be q prime nes cessity. You needn't look for an ear ly extermination until the pest. seens a curse instead Of blessipgy A Sion that the boil yveeyif sts pwrf0rua. Ing the south a good deed by stopping the growth of cotton We raise too much anyhow. When the true lesson of diyeFsfhcatien of crops Is-learned sy the Southern farmer then will be time to fight the boil weevil. Of course, 1t is hard on the region just where the weevil gets in his worst work, but Y think he has come to stay. q while yet z

 Montgomery impresses me as being the best town in the South said a man who had travelled for the greater part of his life T have been travel ling for many years before reaching Montgomery. and I find the general air of the people on the streets, the clean streets themselves. highly .sattsfaeto-.
 'Before coming to Montgomery I had heard of 1t from several sources. and everything I heard was of tho most Complimentary sort, but never imagined that would be treated to the pleasant city that l am experience ing at the present time.
 T would like nothing better in the world than to make Montgomery my headauarters, but business. interferes. However I shall visit Montgomery az often as possible
