DAN GERS IN DEER HUNTING.
Jersey Likely to Cause Many
Mishaps

Ocean City y. J., July 20
Sportsmen in Cape May county are
wondering just how state game war
dcns are goinS to enforce the pro-
visions of the new deer-shooting
law passed by the last legislature.
and about which there have been
some uncertainties. Under the law
il is TO be permissible 10 shoot deer
one day a week during the month Of
November, but shotguns will not be
allowed and no dogs can be used in
the chase.
When the bill appeared in the
house, Assemblyman Stille of this
county, who opposed 1t in its pres
ent form, fought hard TO have adopt
ed an amendment permitting the use
OF dogs and shotguns, instead of RI
files. because Of the certain peril of
rifles in the heavy growth near pop
ulous spots in South Jersey. He sue
ceeded in having the dog amendment
passed, but the senate took no ac-
ton on II, and the bill went to the
governor and was signed with this
feature irregularly left out.
Assemblyman Stille is afraid that
the use of rifles is going TO make
deer hunting mighty dangerous In
this section for bullets intended for
10 aGtr a &
afraid that somebody Is going to get
hurt The elimination of dogs from
the chase will make the hunting
mighty difficult anyway.

sHEtp LIkE DESERT ISLANDS.
Grow Fat and Multiply Rapidly ON
Barren Lcdges orr the Maine

Bangor, Me. July 2O.-When an
for nothing else II is turned into a
maritime sheep ranch Much money
has been made in that way, men from
other states having invested large
sums in the purchase of islands and
stock. The sheep are turned loose
and left to get living as best they
can. They get along very well and
are usually fat when their owners
come with boats TO take them off
for slaughter in the fall. On some of
theislands there is no water what
ever, but the sheep get what mois-
ture they need from the heavy dews,
and where grass is scrubby and
scarce the animals cultivate fond
ness for various kinds of seaweeds
which diet is said to give an ex-
cellent flavor to the mutton.
A few years ago complaint was
made by well meaning but poorly
informed persons of the supposed
cruelty of leaving sheep to take care
of themselves, without shelter, on
these barren, wind-swept isles, but
it has been demonstrated that the
sheep suffer no hardship, or they
would not thrive as they do. One
man who had several hundred sheep
on Metinic island tells how he built
a warm shelter for them, but found
that not single sheep had taken
advantage of the shelter provided,
in one of the coolest winters ever
known on the coast of Maine. Sheep
will huddle together where they like
and cannot be induced to go into the
sheds built for them on several of
the islands.
In the fall the island ranchers 20
off in dories and bring the latest
of the sheep ashore to market, and
at the same time new stock is carried
to the islands. In the spring trip
is made to get lambs, and the stock
is again replenished. The expense of
sheep raising on the islands is small
and the profits are corresponding
large.

There is more Catarrn IN this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to DE a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F.. j. Cheney & Co, Toledo, o., is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in dos
es from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and mu-

offer one hundred dollars for any
case il fails to cure. Send for circu-

lions to a search of masses of native

The ancient woykmen may have
possessed the art of hardening cop

tools were sadly inferior to the keen
cutting blades and instruments of
steel and its alloys common to mod

Texas is beginning TO come into
its own Ten years ago an immigra-
ton began which has steadily gain
ed strength and breadth, until to-
day country nearly as large as New
England is feeling the impact OF Wig
orous colonization. Land that has
remained for ages as nature made 1T
lis feeling the touch of the pillow.
Vast stretches of waste land, where
only cattle roamed yesterday and
buffalo the year before. are being
opened up as farms, and settlers are
coming in from every state in the
union, but especially from the mid
die west
1t is another act in the great
American drama of conquest These
farmers played, too, in some Of the
earlier acts. They are the men who
pushed on into the undeveloped
west But what a difference there is
today, They do not come now in
prairie schooners, and the privations
of those days are unheard of. They
come TO Texas in special railway
coaches, with an attendant who
answers questions, with dining car
for their comfort, with automobiles
TO meet them when they arrive at
their destination. 1t is pioneering ~
luxe What must the old-timers think
when they come into this new coun-
try to pick a farm if their thoughts
go back TO the days when they
fought their way against hardships
that seems now to be only tradition?
The most spectacular boom of all
is going on in the gulf coast coun-
try. In the northern counties they
are mild in their claims; they say
they have land that is fully as good
as the average and at a much less
price but on the gulf coast they
know no limit. And they han good
reason. No one knows Wharf.-The limit
will be. Whatever has been tNed has
blossomed; water is plenty and
seemingly inexhaustible, the sun is
kind, and the people are flocking in
so fast that they can not he counted.
Is il any wonder that they shout in
stead of talk?
On the western end of the gulf
coast country is the Rio Grande val
ley. Until the St. Louis, Brownsville
and Mexico road was put through,
this section was practically off the
map. For centuries the Rio Grande
has been depositing a rich lot of mud
all over the delta as if in anticipation
of a hungry lot of settlers who
would some day come into the land
and call it the American Nile. 1rri
CATION canals are stretching out from
the river at half a dozen points, Civ
ing drink to thousands of acres of
fine land in this newly discovered
Eden, and the farmers by the hun
dred are already taking from the
rich soil the heritage that centuries
brought il.
The first stra wberries watermel
ons and other vegetables that reach
the northern markets come from this
region. This is what makes the open
ing up of the land so valuable, for
when the facts that it is 1900 miles
nearer St Louis than is California,
and that it can supply the northern
markets with fresh. green vegetables
in the dead of winter, are taken into
can estimate with any degree Of ac
curacy the future that lies before it.
