The Cunning of Water Bucks
THE very next day knocked two water bucks and
one topi flat as founders at two hundred and
seventy-fve yards with three successive shots.
There they lay motionless while the herd of mixed
game scampered away; lay for at least five
minutes, until my calls for the boys to come and
get the meat reused both water buck and off they
bounded And, come to the topi. l even found the
great .4O5 ball that had passed through his heart
had stopped well within the skin of the opposite
side, shot that would have passed clear through
an elk.
Outrams little fifteen-pound cross between an
Irish and bull terrier, Pugge. caught up with
Of the buck and detained him; but not for long.
Pugges tactics always practical if not scientific.
Dsdaining fence for throat grip, she always goes
for the first mouthful she get, usually fetching
up with leap that fastens her teeth actual

of the sharp hind hoofs So often have seen her
dangle and swing for five to minutes till the buck
went down. But this old water buck too strong
and artful for her. and after tossing her about for
few minutes, vainly trying to reach her with hoofs
and horns, sidestepped and swung her smash
against thorn tree that put her out Of the days
running
Then the cunning old buck entered a belt of heavy
jungle two three miles in length and half mile
broad impossible to man except on buffalo paths.

Along these for two and half hours Outram and
tracked him. ourselves bent double or on hands and
knees creeping beneath boughs and vines. The buck
by turns leaped water holes, entered the brook and
tramped up down it, doubling on his own tracks,
passed out to the open as If to cross glade, and
then slipped back into the jungle few yards away,
all shrewd tactics to throw us off his track; SO
shrewd that they deserved to win, as at last they
indeed did.
But the old bravo's escape not for long.
The very next morning about eight O'Clock |
shot rather good topi bull, with seventeen-inch
horns He was cunning as serpent; and, after
hours painstaking stalk compelled me to
shoot at four hundred and fifty yards head
shot that luckily caught him in the center OF the
forehead.
While the boys were removing the head and skin,
took circle for bush buck, and, within five hun
dred yards of where we had lost my wounded water
buck the day before, found his head, spine, and
few ribs. The had been eaten the night be-
fore by lion and quarters and shoulders later toted
off by hyena His identity past question; for
of the ribs showed fracture by the bullet that
passed through his lungs. And he was good one,
too, horns twenty-seven inches high and nineteen
inches spread the tip of one horn splintered,
whether in some battle for mastery of his herd in
his last nights finish fight with lions, could only
guess.
A Lion Wounded
WHILE taking this bucks head, l heard shot
W half mile away from Judds .45O. Returned
to camp at noon. l learned that he had sighted a
lioness at two hundred and fifty yards in the edge
and had wounded her; but had felt it imprudent TO
follow her into the dense bush she in, until if hit
she had stiffened of her wound.
At four p NJ. he and / out with gun
bearers on prowl for her; he with 49, with
twelve-bore and buckshot, the bearers with spare
rifles We easily found where she had passed on into
the Jungle and for half hour were able to follow
her spoor along buffalo paths. But not drop OF
blood could we find. Then we lost all sign and had
to give her up. Nor l. personally, deeply

Returned to camp at dark, another bit of luck
developed. Outram had just come in with the
head of the second of the two water buck shot

horns were much graceful than the head OF

For two hours l traied him before finally losing
him in the bush sighting him twice but both times

were plenty more like him and l should have other

Bad Luck with Roam Antelope
PUT far greater shock was in store. Next to the

beautiful and of his tribe and few sportsmen in
these days get chance at one. except by making
special trip to some remote region where they
still found. Outram had or heard of roam

promised me sight of them by three days trek

No More Smoke.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has be-
gun a campaign Of education with it's
enginemen and fremen. Any compe-
tent fireman knows that bituminous
coal will burn without smoke if the
fire is kept bright and level over the
whole CRATE by the addition Of small
quantities at regular intervals. By
this method less coal is needed to
keep up steam pressure. The foul
gases are burned, the passengers are
pleased, money is saved, and the COM
pany can afford to develop intelli-
gent supervising officers in order to
reach the men. A spirit will thus be
fostered among employers that will
make the present improvement and
reckless firing seem almost criminal.
Of course, electric motive power,
were it not still in the costly expert
mental stage, would at once dispose
of the smoke question. The electric
locomotives have not yet demonstrate
ed qualities Of stability in long-dis-
lance transportation, and the freight
business must for some time to come
be handled by steam locomotives.
Meanwhile the present example Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, since it
will be observed by other railroad
and manufacturing companies, will
work nightly for the clarity Of the
nations skies.-New York Times.

Sweet Potato Investigations.

Extensive Investigations dealing
with the sweet potato crop are being
undertaken by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Expert
ments are in progress at several CEN
tres, and include a study of the kinds
most suitable for the several potato
growing. districts. Research is being
made in regard to methods Of grow
ing and their comparative cost, and
methods of harvesting, storing, pack
ing and shipping the crop. The ques-
ton of storage, it is stated, is receiv-
ing special attention, in order to de-
termine the best means of curing. the
most suitable temperatures to be
maintained in the storage house, and
the amount of shrinkage that takes
place under those conditions. Atten-
ton is also being given to the uses
and possibilities of sweet potatoes as
food for stock, as we'll as the dessica-
ton and canning of the product for
human consumption.

ABNORMAL Creations The Cause 81
The Present Movement

New York, Special.-tHats off in
church" promises TO- be the cry to
women in the near future, and Rev.
Charles B. Jefferson, pastor Of the
Broadway Tabernacle, has sounded
the first note Of warning in a little
publication issued under, church
auspices.
In this he says:
1.-The present bonnet or hat is abb
normally immense, and the discom-
future Of worshipers whose vision is
lmpeded is CORRESPONDENCE great.
What. to do with the women has been
q problem in churches throughout
the country.
I'm theatrical and operate circles
it is counted bad form for a woman
to sit with her hat on. Tt does not re
quire the gift Of prophecy to say that
the time will come when Christian
women IN the church will be equally
considerable
DR.. Jefferson remarked that he
was prepared to join any concerted
effort among clergymen which might
result IN removing their hats in
church.-Baltimore Sun.
Whether the Biblical requirement
that a woman have cher head cover

may be. a question for the exegete
But on the size of the towering

his opinion. If a woman's hat is sc

vocate the excommunication of tn
woman with the. big hat, but oul
minds are made up on the hat itself
1t some way is not found to reduc,
the size Of women's hats, the maya
zines will soon have a new answe,
to the question, "Why men do not g.

If a woman must have a hat on a
church, why should she not have
"church hat,' that will admit Of al
occasional glimpse Of the pulpit a

behind her? If her "~street hat

When l first began to raise chick
ems I had the common mixed breed,
and l had pretty good success with
them, for they were both good set
ters and good mothers. But I e1-
changed them for White Wyandottes
and then I began to have trouble in
setting them. The hens were willing
few days they grew tired of setting
and would desert their nests and let
their eggs grow cold, or else they
would set until within a week of the
tunes the eggs were expected to
match, and then would leave. Some
times there we're others wanting to
set. # there were, I would take the
men which had been setting and put
ner out and then put the other on the
nest, but if there were no hens want
Ing to set, I would place a box over
the hen, SO that she could not get up
very we'll, and keep it on for some
ume, only taking it off for her to eat
and drink, then covering her up
again. Sometimes this plan would
work, but more often 1t would not.
Inc hen would manage to get the
poX up, and then leave or break the
eggs and ruin them. I have lost a
good many eggs in this way. If
40 not lose all at a setting, I often
lose half of them or more.
For instance, I set a hen with
WE'VE eggs. She sat for about ten
uays, then left the nest, and let the
Eggs grow cold. I put a box owe her,
pul 1t did no good, for as soon as
ooK 1t off she left the nest, and
would not go back until I made her.

o'Aer hen wanting to set, SO I put
nr on instead, and she sat fairly

Poor Methods Of Marketing.

u,o manner in which, Southern
Wv and eggs are marketed is
p oul responsible for u failure to
laln them profitable. We market
nan Of our poultry alive, but how
p Nm we see a coop of uniform size,
sen ,ar and quality. But for our craze
sO crossing and the scarcely less in
W. ~ idea that scrubs are more valu-
100 han pure-breds, because they
wi stand more hardships, whereas
W., e . fact that when any animal is
N.tbe+anding h%ardships 1t is a losing
,.,o;ness for the owner, we might have
Oar,,trv Of uniform color. Any one
,..ovs that of two coops, the one
n,ade ND of birds of the same size and
no1or and the other Of the usual
Ioooh's coat variety, the former will
Zinc a good advance in price, even
though they be of no better quality.
There are thousands Of town and
.;+v men and women who appreciate
really fresh egg. and many Of them
horo both the money and the inclina-
.;on to pay for it.. Why not cater to
.ho+ demand and furnish these peo-
Mo what they want and are willing
- nav for. really fresh, clean, good
orcs? Such eggs command a higher
mice anywhere, and you can deliver
tbom to some nan in town for the
I'm of the market. Find that man.
To command top prices. however,
thew must be clean. Of uniform color
and size and really fresh. In the
large egg markets Southern eggs sell
for from three to four cents below
tbe lowest from other sections. Why
is thiso Rest assured it is because
thew are worth less. for the men who
make a business of buying eggs know
eggs.
But why are they worth less?
~ Because of our mongrel f1ocks,
the result of our mania for crossing
They lay eggs Of all sizes anu colors
and we don't sort them.
(2) We send eggs to market as
they come from the nests, dirty and
inserted. They should be graded as
to colors and size and those that are
dirty should never be sent to market
or should be wiped clean. It is safe
to state that a lot of eggs with the
dirty and very small ones taken gu
will sell for more money than all o.
them would.
co We allow the male birds tt
run with the hens at all times. The
result is that the eggs, being fertile
soon begin to terminate from tn
summer heat and then when cooled
the germ dies and the egg rapid!
spells, or at least loses it's freshness
These facts are we'll known, but still
we go on in the same old way. VIII
the males are allowed to run with tn
hens, except when we need eggs 70.
Matching, no one can tell, but still
We continue to do it, and furnish tn
markets with most of the so-calle,

would if the males had been seq

A Handy Barn.

Here are plans for a handy barn.
1t will hold seven head of horses and
about ten head of cows. A crib op-
posite the feedway will hold about
600 bushels of corn and an oats bin
adjoining this will hold from 1000
to 1900 bushels of that grain. This
leaves a space fifteen by eighteen for
Implements, hay or anything that the
farmer may wish to put in it. The
