by scores of tbs most eminent medical

every way. Long after the refieman,
as we'll as the game he hunts, shall
have vanished from the plains, the
cattle country will afford fine sport in
coursing hares; and both wolves and
deer could be followed and killed with
""ks of properly trained hounds, and
such sport would be even more excit-
ing than still-hunting with the rifle.

In the cattle country; and the ranch
man who loves sport must try still
hunting-and by still-hunting is meant
pretty much every kind of chase where
single man, unaided by q dog, and
almost always on foot, outgenerals a
deer and kills it with the rifle. To do
this successfully. unless deer are very
plenty and tame, implies a certain
knowledge of the country, and Il good
knowledge of the habits of the game
The hunter must keep Il sharp look out
for deer sign; for, though n man soon

the Kind of places in which deer are
likely to be, yet he will also find TIA
they are either very capricous. or oi@c
that no man his more than II partial
understanding Of their tastes and lik-
1ngS: for many SPOTS apparently just
suited to them will be almost uninhab-
tied, while in others they will be found
where it would hardly occur to any
one to suspect their presence. Any
cause may temporarily drive deer out
of given locality. Still-hunting, es-
pecially, is sure TO send many away,
while rendering the others extremely
wild and shy. and where deer have be-
come used to being pursued in only
one way it is often an excellent plan
to try some entirely different method.
A certain knowledge of how to track
deer is very useful. TO become really
skillful tracker is most difficult; and
there are some kinds of ground, where.
for instance, it is very hard and dry,
or frozen solid, on which almost any
man will be at fault. But any one with
4 little practice can learn to do a GER
tain amount of tracking On snow, of
course. it Is veEy easy; but on the other
hand it is also peculiarly difficult to
avoid being seen by the deer when the
ground is white. After deer have been
frightened once or twice. or have even
merely been disturbed by man, they
