A YOUNG LION SLAYER.
Boer Farmer Boys Good Shots on the
African Veldt

Three lions were killed near Peters
burg, Transvaal, the other day by the
,19-year-old son of Jozef Erasmus. u
Boer farmer.
1t appears that young Erasmus was
on his way to the Messina mine and had
outspanned his donkey team when his
Katiir boy came running to tell him that
three lions were tackling the donkeys
Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard in
the direction indicated. On his arrival
at the spot he found the lions lying
around one of the donkeys. He fired
and killed a big ioness.
The other two jumped up but he was
ready and shot another (yOunger) lion
ess. The young lion which was left ran
behind some brushwood. Erasmus first
collected his donkeys and brought them
into safety and then once more carefully
approached the scene of the fight.
In order to find out if the two lioness-
es We're dead he fired another shot at
one of them. This disturbed the surviv-
ing lion, who thereupon came forth roar
ing. Erasmus was again ready and shot
him dead on the spot. Asked by the
NolksStem correspondent whether lie
was alone at the time Erasmus replied
'Oh, no. Oom.' l had my little Kafiir
boy, with me-" The skins were sold in

Unseen Farm LabOrers,

Every farmer has hundreds of IN
teen labOrers busy in his behalf The
earth-worms, of which he takes so lit
lie thought, are of untold benefit to
agriculture. They loosen and ventilate
The soil and by their digestive pro-
tesses aid in the formation of plant
iood. They are continually digging
INTO the lower soil, which passes
through their bodies and is cast upon
The surface. 1t is said that the best
pld pastures owe their value to the
action of these unseen workers.
When the farmer boy hunts the
tarth-worm to bait his fishhook he may
not be aware that he is using the de-
scendants of the first tillers of the
soil; but such is the fact, and they
continue at their lowly toll whether
man wills or not.
