CAUSES MANY WRECKS.

Quartz Sand of Lake Superior Makes Com.
passes Treacherous.
! How ships compass could lead her
master astray has been one of the
mysteries of Lake Superior for years,
but it is probably explained now by
one of the vesselmen in the only way
that seems consistent. One of his own
boats suffered week ago at time
when he knew his compasses were
right. His ship was heading for Du-
luth, and for safety was two points
south of her course, which should have
taken her to the entry at Superior,
seven miles south from the harbor en-
the vessel grated on beach and
stopped. An investigation showed her
to be on sandbank at the mouth Of
the Knife river, 20 miles east from
Duluth. She was heading directly up
the river, almost due north, but the
compass still held two points south of
the course for Duluth. The boat had,
by the charts, turned almost right an
gle. Within 125 feet of either side
rock reefs ran out into the lake. on
which she would have cut herself to
pieces. To the southerly side, where
trifing less deviation would have
taken the vessel, lay an island of rock
that would have driven her bow back
to her engines and hunched her up in
to ball. AS it was a tug pulled her
off, and survey showed not a dollar
of damage. Indeed, nothing is publicly
known of the fortunate accident till
this writing. Many such a casualty
has occurred from time to time, and
the river on which this boat brought
up has been the scene of two or three
groundings every season for years.
Some of them have resulted luckily,
others have been total losses. The
only explanation for these groundings
and deviations is that great bed of
magnetic iron sand lies in the bed of
the stream, covered by the washings
of quartz sand from the rocks of the
lake.
The same explanation probably ac-
counts for the late disasters at other
points on the north shore. Indeed, in
a gathering of vessel captains in an
agents office in Duluth this week they
discussed the remarkable alterations
| of compasses this fall. which every
man had noticed far more than be-
fore in any year. During the week
one Of the captains of one of the great
fleets, a man noted as the most careful
and the best man in the line, who has
not lost his company cent in repair
for years, found himself on the north
shore and three points off his course.
though the compass was identical with
its indication of every trip Of the
season. He got off without much loss,
but the fact was none the less re-
markable. How did he get there. and
what made the deviation?-St Louis

Poultry for Market.

Poultry intended for market, wheth-
er young or old, cannot be made too
fat. The public wants the fattest that
can be had and is willing to pay a
premium for that class of fowls. Old
hens, at this season, are usually in
good condition, but it Is not always an
easy matter to keep the growing
chickens in prime market condition.
Should the hens be thin, few days of
confinement and liberal feeding of
rich foods will suffice to put them in
proper condition. Chickens, as rule,
will fatten more quickly if allowed
freedom, but an extra supply of food
must be given at least three times
q day.
In either case, never send poultry to
market unless fat, especially so If
dressed before being sent. When Sc
lecting for market choose only the fat
ones, and keep the others until in tit
condition. The excess in price will
justify the additional cost and trouble.

Asparagus Culture.

Asparagus is not SO readily grown
as radishes and turnips, at first. but

In the south the plants may be set

tanned from northern localities it may
be in March or later before the plants
can be moved from the nursery.
A good sandy loan is the best soil

The Calf for Dairy Purposes.

One of the main difficulties in max
ing dairying n success is the difficulty
of securing the best machinery. not or
iron or steel, but of flesh and blood;
in other words. the best dairy cows.
Such cows can not easily be bought
for the men who have ability to pro-
duce them know their value and their
profit. Practically. the farmer who
wishes n herd of choice dairy COWS
must grow them himself. While IL Is
n difficult matter it is not so difhcuit
as one would imagine If he would put
go at it I'm the right way.
The easiest way to secure this is TO
buy heifer calves from the best dalry
herds in the neighborhood. These can
always be bought. if not pedigreed. at
reasonable prices. If farmer VIII buy
Il dozen calves from reasonably good
dairy cows, which can be found in al
most any dairy neighborhood, ana VIII

are Is or 16 months old mate them
properly with Il sire whose dam ana
grandam have been good dairy cows,
he will stand a chance OF having hair
a dozen paying dairy cows In the lot
and n progeny with dairy instincts.
What do we mean by feeding them
properly? Feed them mainly on clover

one-third to one-half as much corn as
oats during the cold weather In the
winter season. If he finds that they
get quite fat on this ration, leave the
corn out altogether, DO not aim to
make them fat. but aim to keep them

Corn Is a Grass Crop.

The fact should be kept in mind that
corn is both grain and grass crop.
1t yields more cereal food than any
other American grain, but at the same
time, it Is grass, a giant grass that
is not excelled by any hay crop in
quantity and quality of its forage.
Many large dairy farmers who have
been feeding shredded fodder have Civ
en- up their meadows, as the corn crop
gives both grain and hay, and more
cows can be kept on the same acreage.
A friend of the writer, large dairy
farmer in Iowa, whose name can be
given to any 'doubting Thomas has
made test of shredded fodder that
should convince the most skeptical of
the great value of this new feed. Last
pectedly before he had finished shred
ding. he having followed the plan of
shredding from time to time during
the winter. with a machine that he
owned. Having no hay or other rough
feed, he gave his cows the unhusked
corn from the shock with the same ra-
ton of ground feed that he had fed
with the shredded fodder. The cows
.ell off one-half in volume in milk. His
foreman had a Jersey which just sup
piled milk for his family on the shred
ded fodder <he Jersey fell off one
half, like the proprietOr's cows, but
the foremans wife. after few days
of short milk supply, managed to
scrape up enough shredded fodder for
this Jersey, which Immediately re-
turned to her former flow of milk.
Horses do well on corn hay in
winter. A man who is recognized as
an expert on feeding owns a farm near
Chicago. where he winters driving
horses for Chicago people. He finds
that fodder. when carefully cured and
shredded, makes an ideal forage for
horses. The same opinion Is given by
many other good horsemen.-Farm.

The Evolution of the Corset.

A lamentable spectacle was present
ed by the barbarous corsets on view
ut the Paris exhibition composed of
iron and pieces of canvas. shapeless
and without grace, which imprisoned
the delicate forms of queens of fash
ion of bygone periods. The corset
had its origin in Italy and was in
troduced from that country into
France by Catherine de Medicis.
Mary Stuart and Diane de Poictiers
did not however follow the fashion.
But it was admitted by all the ladies
of the French court that 1t was in
dispensable to the beauty of the fe-
male figure and was therefore adopted
by them.
The corset in those days was in Its
infancy. and 1t assumed more of the
rough character of knights cuirass.
The frame was entirely of iron. and

terror hid frightful and cumbersome

Artesian Well Dug by Ants.

1t is notorious fact, says CORE
spondent, writing from Millen, Screven
County, Georgia, that red ants will dig
their holes until they strike water.
Near the station in Millen, and about
fifty feet from one of the main arte-
sian wells, is colony of big red ants
that have been working in the same
bed for over fifty years One of the
oldest citizens says they were there for
that length of time to his certain
knowledge. but he can't say how long
they were there before that time. One
can imagine the astonlshment of the
people of Millen when they saw one
morning a bold flow of artesian water
seven feet high coming from the red ant
bed. The poor fellows dug to their
Dwn destruction. A very peculiar
thing about it is that it has cut off the
wells here. There is great excitement

Food Combinations for Stock.

There is no single food that Is per-
feet or which contains all the desirable
elements necessary for production, for
which reason corn as an exclusive diet
will not give satisfactory results.
There is but little lime in wheat or
corn, and as lime is essential in the
production Of bone it is evident that
young animals will make but little
growth when the larger portion of their
food consists of corn or cornmeal. If
clover, either green or cured, or skim
milk is fed with corn more benefit will
be derived from the combination OF
foods than from grain only.
