say, three hundred thousand would be

With a current of far more than or-

"Never Shoot Your llama 7('1 1' Is on ih

Much has been said recently about
the excellent marksmanship of the
Dutch in South Africa. It has even
been asserted that they axe able to
hit a man at a distance of a mile or
more. Slndoubtedly they are good
shots. In days gone by the Dutchman
Sued to depend largely upon his rifle
for his supply of fresh meat, and be
became, as a matter of necessity, a
good marksman; but stories of his al-
most incredible shooling are, for the
most part, twenty-five or thirty years
old.
As for hitting a men at the range
of a mile or more, says a writer in the
Newfoundland Magez'ne, whose reeid-
ence• among the Boers qualifies him
to speak, any Dutchman will tell you
that it is absolute waste of ammuni-
tion to risk such a shot. Even the
best of Dutch hunters consider six
hundred yards a long range for koo-
dan, a kind of dieter that weighs from
three hundred to seven hundred
pounds.
On ane occasion, says the same writ-
er, I was staying with the Van Ryas,
in Mangove, Matabeleland, a family of
Dutch bunters well Icnown to Solous
and other hunters of big game. One
day Iwas out hunting with them
when WO Dame upon Lhe spoor of buck.
We at once turned our horses in the
direction the spoor was running, and
after about a mile of bush .veld we
cams to an open stretch of eouutry.
Not two hundred yards away a herd
of bleebok were browsing.
Fortunately the wind was right, or
they would eerily have scented our
presence. I naturally expected to halt
and fire, but to my surprise, the Van
Ryna phut spurs to their horses and
actually sucosoded in riding right past
the herd. Then they reined up, and
turning round, brought down three of
the bewildered bleshok, who stood
quite still, not seeming to know which
way to run, and, it was not until three
more had fallen to those deadly rifles
that they took to flight.
Then the eldee Van Byn remarked
to me: "Six beak for six eartrid.ges;
there is a lesson for you. Nover shoot
your game till it 1s on the muzzle of
rue rifle."

about 127,500,000 pounds. Since then
the amount has decreased nearly ev-
ery year, getting down to 95,000,000
pounds In 1800 to 00,000,000 pounds in
1805 and to 40.000,000 pounds In' 1808,
Why is this decrease? Our Canadian
neighbors will point to their Increased

cause we sent •"skim" and "filled"
cheese there, while they -are not allow-
ed to be sold In Canada, and their "full
cream" cheese has become popular In
England.
There 1s no doubt but that some truth
exists in this view, but 1t does not tell
the entire story. One reason for less-
ened exportation of cheese has been
that we did not have the cheese to sell.
Dairymen who once patronized cheese
factories or made cheese at home found
that they could obtain better results
with their milt: by having creameries
or butter factories. The manufacture
of condensed milk bas largely increas-
ed, and the operators have located fac-
tories in sections where once were
cheese factories, and the farmers are
better satisfied with the prices they
pay than with the results of cheese-
-melting.
:till other' sections of large dairies
where once much cheese was made
have been drained by those who fur-
nish the milk to the larger cities, and
this, lace the 00ndensary, relieves the
dairymen of farther caro of the milk
after it is once shipped.
But not least in the rensoas why we
have not cheese to export we believe to
be that our increasing population con-
sumes more cheese than it slid one
013 two decades ago, and besides tbo
Increase In our numbers there is a per
capita increase In consumption, with
which production has not kept pace.
We have not agures at hand to show
bow much that increase may amount
to. but from the reports of dealers we
believe it to be considerable.
A part of this Is due to the character
of the people who have immigrated
here within the past 20 years both from
Europe and the British provinces.. Many
of them eat cheese not only bec'anse
they like It, but because they think
there Is more nutrition to be had for
the money from cheese than from meat
or from butter. They were cheese eat-
ers nt home, end they still demand it.
We think alae the custom of having
cheese always In the house and n part
of each day's food has become more
common among our native born pith-
821)0, as the quality of cheese to be
buought has improved and become more
niform.
The stems cense that has made cheese
more popular as an article of diet in
the United States has helped increase
the demand for cheese In foreign coun-
tries,and Canadians have profited by It.
They have been establishing new cheese
factories, while we have let ninny of
ours remain idle and diverted the milk
to other purposes. Whether we have
been wise In 80 doing may be seen in
the future. it is sure that we could
sell more cheese if we had It to sell.
We could produce more II' we f110nght
cheesemalctng would be as profitable
each year as It seems to be this year,
or, rather, If we could be sure o1' get-
ting us good prices as It scale for noev.
There are other reasons why Canada
bats been able to increase her exports
of cheese. The governments of the
Dominion and of the provinces have
encouraged by the use of money nod In
other ways the esinblishnnent or cheese
loetories there. The dairy a0s0e1%tloua
have sent out instructors to tench Ibe
best methods end inspectors to see that
their toachtugs were followed, atilt
this they have been aided by the gov-
ernment dairy schools, which have
helped to train up chet'setnlaker8 to
