STATE GEOLOGIST GIVES I
ADVICE TO HUNTERS
Some Rules Which, if Ob
served, Would Prevent
Trouble and Cost.
The hunting season has brought
into the public prints a rather
formidable list of rules to insure
safe and proper sport with the
gun compiled some time ago by
the State geologist of Pennsyl
vania. Following are some of
them:
Always keep the gun pointed
from yourself and other persons.
Carry the gun with the muzzle
pointed downward to the earth
or upward toward the sky. Nev
er sweep the horizon with it.
In getting over logs and fences
or through hedges, put the gun
over first and see that it will not
fall. Then go to another place
and cross, and [tick up the gun
with the end pointing where it
should.
Never draw a gun toward
yourself by the muzzle, especially
in boats, wagons, or over fences
or logs, etc.
1 )o not load the gun until at the
hunting grounds and draw the
load when leaving them.
Never keep a loaded gun in
house or tent or where it may be
knocked down by children or
dogs.
I)o not carry a gun cocked ex
cept when on the alert for game
to rise.
Do not shoot into moving
hushes or toward a noise. It
may be stock or persons. Wait for
the game to appear.
Do not start a fire without pro
viding against its spreading and
put it out when you leave it..
Do not wound game and leave
it to die a lingering death.
Spend an hour or more if neces
sary to find game that has been
wounded.
Do not shoot protected game.
Hunt with the back to the sun,
slowly and quietly. Do not hunt
for anything and everything.
Find out where game is to be
found and the times for hunting
it.
Find out if premises are posted
and do not hunt there without
permission.
Leave fences, gates, bars, etc.,
just as you find them.
Be satisfied with a fair bag.
Do not be a hog just because:
game is plentiful.
To urge the majority of young
men who go out with a gun to do
none of these things under any
circumstances would be about as
profitable as to request the aver
age citizen never to forget him
self and sin against propriety or
decorum in the least particular.
Nevertheless these rules are
worth remembering, and the
man who observes them will serve
his country and keep a whole
skin. Macon Telegraph.

By President Andrew M. Soul#.
Our farmers are paying S3O per ton

Our farmers are falling to make use

Furthermore, our farmers are at

of oats and corn from the West at
four times the cost of the same food

While our farmers are buying th s
corn and oats from the western

If your corn is not already gather

should have, preferably, two ears on
the stalk. Take both ears if they
