to watch the strange sight. When the

it attracted the attention of hundreds

of the engine is sufficient to haul dou-
BILE the number of loaded wagons
transported on the experimental trip.
1t is therefore his purpose to haul
about 1000 bushels of grain on the
next and subsequent trips. Several
good results are noticeable from the
experiment.
Notwithstanding the consumption of
coal, the employment of the thrasher
engine makes, in Wakefield's opinion,
a considerable saving both in time and
money over the usual method of haul
ing grain to market with horses. Fif-
ty bushels of grain is an ordinary load
for a team of horses. Thus the 400
bushels hauled by the thrasher engine
on the experimental trip would have
required ten trips if hauled by team.

RULES FOR HUNTERS.
Some Advice Not to BE Taken Too


Some Advice Not to BE Taken Too Sc
riouxly.
Cunning accidents have become SO
frequent that it might be we'll to form
ulate few rules for the guidance of
those who go forth to slay. How
would these do?
First.-When you hand loaded gun
to your companion, always keep the
huzzle pointing your way. This may
save the fool killer job.
Second.-Never go hunting with a
man who looks like deer. Don't look
like deer yourself. Look like mule
or something else easy. A man in
Pennsylvania was shot by particular
friend because the tuft Of hair on his
head resembled a partridge. When
you go hunting, have your head
shaved.
Third.-Don't use gun that will
carry three or four miles. You may
drop an innocent cow in the next coun-
ty. Better stick to grandad's shot
gun with the warped barrel. The chill
dren in a Wisconsin country school
got a holiday on account Of one Of
those long distance guns Bullet cross
ed over two townships and hit the
schoolma am in the limb.
Fourth.-If you have any doubt that
the deer you are going to shoot at may
be your hunting companion, don't yell,
''Is that you, Pete?" before you fire. It
might alarm the deer-if it is deer.
Fifth.-If you really want to insure
perfect safety against hunting acci-
dents, have your eyes, your nerve and
your firearms thoroughly tested before
you start out-and then stay at home.
