eith authority when dwelling ON the
subject OF f1sh, says the Detroit Free
Press. Fos twelve years he has caught
and studied them in that famous fishing
grounds, The Sc. Clair Flats, and has
very comprehensive knowledge OF the
habits and peeuliarities Of the fish
hooked in those waters. The law In re-
gard to bass fishing reads that they
''may be caught at any time, but only
with hook and line" The above may be
somewhat misleading to ambitious an
glers. It should have read that ''bass
may be fsbed for at any time" Catching
them is an entirely different matter.
The angler, however, who is not willing
to expend time and trouble in hauling
in black bass is not deserving Of bite.
''What time in the spring do the bass
begin hitin1?" was asked OF Mr.. Slocum.
THE time varies. Heavy catches OF
bass have been known as early as May
Is. but this is unusual. The condition
Of the water controls the movements Of
the fish. The early bass fishing is done
on the Canadian side of the Flats, in
and around the channels known as
Johnson's and the Sny Carte. In the
early spring the ice cold water OF the

is that they never. bite after long run
Of clear water. I suppose the reason is
that they can see the minnows, and put in

In the plan for the barn floor, the

grain should be moved away so there
will be free passage to the feed-boxes
below after threshing, if not before. In
the meantime space could be left at
the south end of each opening, from
which the fodder could be carried to the
stock from below. The openings for
the fodder should be covered by trap
doors with hinges and rings, each door
being just long enough to be easily

GODS PROVIDENCE.
4 Belief That Helps the Unfortunate to
| Bear Their Burdens Nobly.

4 Belief That Helps the Unfortunate to
Bear Their Burdens N0bly.
Nothing SO helps the unfortunate to
bear their burdens as belief that those
burdens are = part of the providence of
the world and come to them with purpose
and design, and, although not easy to
bear now, have future benefit not only
to themselves, but to the whole universe
at large This belief begets spirit of
humility which in itself gives the
strength to bear more than half of the
hard load. for with its coming departs
all that defiance. all that fighting with
fate, which is as useless as it is desper-
ate. And with the willing spirit of
shumility comes also capacity for reli-
ance and trust, for dependence on su-
preme and fatherly care, that makes all
pain seem lighter than it could seem
otherwise, and taat gives one all the
satisfaction that the little child has
when sobbing out its grief after any
hurt upon a mothers breast 1t is a
tremendous thing for one to possess this
sense of the fatherhood and providence
OF the power that rules the universe;
one who has it fully ceases to struggle,
rests in the divine arms, and no matter
what deprivation. effort loss or sorrow
comes, that person remains satisfied
with the divine will, sees the sun behind
the shadows feels that grief and trouble
are temporary but better things are
eternal, and finds it easier to endure
with shat help, as if one were carried
over on strong wings.
But one who does not possess this
faith in Gods providence has the woes

This has been the mud age, and it has
impressed US with the necessity of
mending our ways. Water makes mud,
and to improve our roads we must get
the water out of our roadways. The
wear and tear of wagons and horses. on
account of bad roads and rough roads,
costs more than all our taxes. To prove
that wear in Sad way with our roads,
it is only necessary to say that Governor
Hill has taken the time from his study
of political problems to send a lecture to
the people through the Legislature. As
an outcome of this teaching there is a
number of bills locking to the improve
mentof our highways I do not expect
much to come ept IT all this. as the

A GOOD BARN PLAN.

1t L. OctagoAsl In Shape and Il Designed
to Do Away with Some Other Build
ings That Are Commonly Used.
This octagon barn has many good
points 1t is well-known fact that a
circular wall will inclose larger space
than the same amount of wall placed in
any other shape. This barn is So feet
on each side, giving a capacity of 6.257
square feet to each floor. This makes a
large barn, but general purpose barn
must necessarily do oaway with some
other buildings which are commonly
used. A barn 156x4O feet would give
nearly the same amount of room as this
one, but would require l04 feet more of
wall; one 125x50, giving about the same
room, would require 90 feet of extra
wall. The wall used here would build
barn 60x30 and driving house 30x24
and then we would have Grille over
two-fifths, or not quite one-half as much
room as with the octagon barn. AS will

COUNTRY BUTCHERS.

How Now York La Treated to Unhealthy
Calves and Aged Cows.
my dear sir, if those fellows were to
put on the hooks of Monroe market
some of tbs meat that they send to New
York we would hang them to the near
est telegraph pole"
1t was a well known Justice of the
peace of Orange County who said this.
We we're riding over the hills together,
and in the course of five mile drivesI
learned more about bob veal and jerkers
than had ever dreamed of before.
Yes, sir" said he, ss'the ways of the
honest farmer arS pretty slick, and you
New York folks have to pay the piper.
do you see that red house down in
the valley yonder? That belongs to .
bob butcher, as we call them, who has
grown rich in the trade. He travels
about the country collecting milk
calves. and slaughters and sends them
to New York-calves that I would no
reore think Of eating thar I would of
eating poison. He openly boasts up here
shat he owns the meat inspectors, body
and bfeeehes; aad judging from some
OF the meet that passes I should sag he
did. Once in awhile when there is an
over supply he gets a. seizure OF a few
baskets made. Then he comes back
here and tells q pretty tale Of zoe to
the farmers No demand, dangerous
business aud all that stuh However,
he will take the calves OF their hands
for the sake OF the peits at Atty cents
apiece, just for old friendships sake.
Like as not he will get two dollars Cor
the very aninais-poer little babes
that he pays half . dollar tor.
There is another industry up here
that is interesting to city people. When
dairy runs out so that the cows are
mere skin and bone aud ft for nothing
at ali they are called '.jerkers." These
jerkers are shipped to New York and
made into bologna sausage. II they are
able to stand they are shipped alive: IL
not they are killed and the meat
shipped down in baskets I would not
feed it to respectable hog that
thought any thing of. But several car
loads go out from Monroe each week,
and New Workers get tho sausage. Oh,
it is fine to be behind the scenes.
'sBut leetle the worst that honest
farmer did up here was when the pleuro-
pneumonia epidemic got here Tue
State and Government inspectors were
here, and many animals were sta ugh
tered. Some were found to be healthy
after death and the inspectors permitted
their bodies to be sent to New York;
but. my friend, some OF the others went
also. and that is the Gospel truth.
s'Stop them? Well, yes, suppose we
might have stopped them But we rea-
soned that they were not sold in our
markets and it was none OF our funeral.
New York had men hired to look out for
such things.
The fact is you ought to have meat
and milk inspectors stationed up here
instead ofin the city, and they ought to
get a million a year to keep them hon
est The honest farmer has got to
look sharp to keep the mortgage from
eating him up. IN. Y. Herald.
