LnI.e sniIors the best.

a Sioux City man who has during q
good share of his life been a sailor, in
speaking the other evening Of the value
Of the naval reserve In case of war, said:
THE sailors on our great lakes are the
best sailors in the world. 1 have sailed
with salt water sailors and with fresh
water sailors, and know the character
istics of both. You can tell a salt water
sailor if he is sailing ON the lakes just
by watching him work. lie IS alway
the last man on deck when the crew IS
called and the last man on the yard
when it becomes necessary to take in
sail. The reason for this is that IL G
lake sailor learns from the start to he
more watchful On the lakes he s
hardly ever out of sight of land, and so
he always has a lee shore. There are
no trade winds or pronounced curren s
to help him along, but, on the 9th T
hand there are numerous islands ard
n multitude Of boats TO be avoided. a
sailor may cross the Atlantic without
danger of running into an island, and he
may hardly see more than two or three
ships during the entire voyage, but on
the lakes IL is Just the other way. The
lake sailor, therefore, becomes more
alert, watchful and careful. He is the
best sailor in the world, and anybody
who knows anything about the subject
acknowledges it.-Sioux City Journal

The Work OF Cartier, ChnnDlain and
Others in the Great Lakes.
Jacques Cartier, who shipped from
St. Malo in 1884, explored tho coast of
Newfoundland and made the circuit
of the Gulf OF St Lawrence; and he
did much else, too, for New France, In
opening up negotiations with the many
tribes OF Indians who thronged thou
sands strong, and friendly, from all the
regions in and about Quebec and Mon
treal and Ottawa and Kingston. An
other mariner of St. Malo-Francis
Greve-began the colonization of the
land. About 1870, in France, Samuel
de Champlain was born; and when he
reached the age of early manhood, he,
too, joined In the new-world explora-
tion in the region above the great lakes.
The kings of France were much inter
ested in the new land, and did oil in
their power not only TO explore the re-
glon, but to COLOMBO and develop 1t.
Champlain, in 1918, made an expedition
up the Ottawa river, and penetrated as
far as into Georgian bay, thus touching
the waters OF Lake Huron.
In 1918 Etienne Brule, an old inter
prefer, came into Champlain's camp
with the news Of the discovery Of Lake
Superior. Lake Erie. with Ontario, was
probably discovered some time earlier
than this. Nicollet, in 1894, started in
canoe from the head of Georgian
bay, slSirted the eastern and northern
shores of Huron, and at last found him

Lake Michigan; and so the various

edge of the explorers, and were no
longer myths.
But as these French explorers con
tinued TO develop new and hitherto un-
dreamed-of possibilities Of empires, the
lEnglish began 10 take deep interest in
the region-an interest little less
marked than that they were taking in
their schemes of colonization in Nir-
rinia and Massachusetts. Again and

frta's Race War.
For many decades the ''stovepipe"
hat has been a source of dlscord. IL has
had those who swore by it and those
who swore at It, Now It has become
factor in a great race war. In the strug-
gle now waging between Czech and
German in Austria the tall hat has be-
come the orihamme OF the Teutonic

is worth to appear in a Czech town

Of everything that is German and an

high hats are worn more in Vienna

CARE OF CORN FODDER.

known Method.

Allow the corn 20 stand in the field
until the grain begins 10 harden and
the bottom leaves are turning yellow.
Secure as much Of the fodder as pos
sibe while It is green. Cutting must
be done before frost or the blades will
be brittle and break off. causing a
loss of the best part of the feed. Place
in shocks of medium size. They must
be large enough TO stand we'll, but
small enough 10 dry out thoroughly.
If the corn is on the green order, as
it will always be a. the beginning of
the cutting season, set up about half
of the. shock, let il stand for several
days, until thoroughly cured. then cut
the remainder. Shocks 12Xi2 hills are
about the best size.
The shocks must remain In the field
until the entire plant is thoroughly
dried Not only must the blades be
we'll cured but the stalks must be free
from moisture 20 insure perfect keep
ing in the stack or after shredding and
storing in the NOV. The time required
will depend upon the season, but usual
~ five or six weeks will be sufficient.
1t can then ne put into stack or rick,

there is great loss from exposure of

and the occasional twisting down"

Running the crop through husker
and shredder Is the idea, way of talk
ing care OF corn fodder. There is some
objection 70 this method on the score
of the fodder moldiug in the NOV.
If IL Is thoroughly dried out before
IL il shredded there is little danger
from this source The practical expert
ence of many farmers and feeders has
{ proven this. True. the shredding is ex-
pensive, due 70 the limited capacity of

few men will ship them out, for the
simple reason that their cattle are NOT

In 1868, when the revolution of ten
years in Cuba began, no volunteers ex-

aud when Governor General Lersuudi,
then of the island, tried to complete
this regiment he found the task diff
cult Of accomplishment OH account of
the prevailing unwillingness to enlist.
But Just at this time, most providential-
ly for the relief of the dilemma. some
unknown hand covered the walls OF
Matanzas, near Havana. with huge
posters promising each Spaniard >
passage home and the privilege of car.

pocket handkerchief could contain in
the event of his enlistment.
The effect of this stimulus to the flag.
ging pulse of the public was electrical,
and the enrolment of so, 900 men fol.
lowed within 4S hours. The volunteers
thus came into existence with their
chiefs in the majority. But the ruined
merchants Of the city OF Havana soon
found out and objected to the newly
risen power. This opposition increased
upon the arrival in Cuba of the new

IL is somewhat interesting TO compare

and covered sometimes with a light

rying 91S hundredweight will fetch
about ESQ, and female which can bear
eight hundredweight is worth about

In the Lao states, where journeys of
ten days or three weeks are frequent,
the average weight hardly exceeds 800
pounds, or one-third Of what ia usual in
the peninsula. The prices in various
parts of the country vary considerably.
