fed TO the marked similarity of the
grasses and clovers in this section Of
the country to those that grew SO plen-
tifully in the empire state where the
dairy interests have thrived. Those
who come to this section years ago
from Kentucky-the home of the blue
grass-noted the wonderful growth Of
blue grass beside the logging roads,
and could not help noting the rich
quality of the native grasses growing
SO luxuriantly. Wherever the country
has been cultivated it has been remark
able what fine crops Of grass can be cut
year after year. The clover, timothy,
blue Joint and the COW and corn are
to make this section the greatest live
stock section Of the country.
The manner in which the grass will
take hold and thrive in this section is
wonderful and clover and timothy
sowed in early May will cut two tons
and over in August. A farmer north
Of Mile Laos lake sowed thirty acres
of bottom land to white and red clover,
blue grass and timothy and it sustained
twenty-five head of live stock, besides
he was able to cut over fifteen tons of
fine hay in the fall for winter feeding.
T. V. Vicken, living in Mora. has a
clover meadow that is sixteen years old
and will cut two tons to the acre. Nu-
merous instances might be cited to
show the value of the land for grass
production
Most of the new land that can be
bought very cheaply at the present time
can be cleared at for Sd to S. per acre
and the farmer besides has an abund-
ance of good wood, both hard and soft
for fuel, and for posts and mill pur-
poses. The new land will raise big
crops of all kinds of vegetables and
potatoes for which at all times there is
ready market. 1t will sustain live
stock in good shape and with all its
diversity of productiveness cannot be
excelled anywhere in the country. The
homeseekers can find plenty of i'm
proved land at $40 to $50 per acre and
wild land in good location at So to $40
and $12 per acre.
No other section can afford so much
IN the way of soil, of climate, good tim
Der of all varieties, and good markets.

owing to the rapidly increasing trade
they will be obliged to increase the
capacity of the mill in another year.

THE PRINCETON ROLLER MILL.

Among the industries that have been
built up here in the past few years and
which is a credit to Princeton, is the
roller mill, operated by the Princeton
Roller Mill Co., which manufactures a
quality of flour that is the pride of the
housewife and the bakery. This mill
was built in 1892 and was operated one
year by Craig & Matthews, and AFTER
wards the management was changed
to Craig, Katley & Loring, who oper-
ated the mill up to 1897, at which time
the Princeton Roller Mill Co. was or
ganized and has since made the mill
one OF the best roller mills outside of
the larger cities, and in point of
superiority of product no mill can ex-

An Elephant Labyrinth.

A curious labyrinth in which ele-
plants are captured alive is to be seen
near Ayuthia, formerly the capital Of
Siam. The labyrinth is formed Of
double row of immense tree-trunks
set firmly in the ground, the space be-
tween them gradually narrowing.
Where 1t begins, at the edge OF the
forest, the opening Of the labyrinth is
more than mile wide, but as It ap-
prOaches Ayuthia it becomes so mar.
row that the elephants cannot turn
round.
Suspecting no danger, the wild cle-
phant enters the broad opening at the
forest end, lured on by a tame ele.
phant. The gradual narrowing OF the
boundaries is not observed until the
elephant finds himself In close quar-
ters.
Having reached the end Of the
labyrinth, the tame elephant is al
lowed to pass through a gate while
men lying in wait slip shackles over
the feet Of the captlves. The sport is
a dangerous one, for the enraged ele-
plants sometimes crush the hunters
under their feet
