A FLOATING SAWMILL.
II is lowed About Lake champIain
for the Convenience of Farmers
Who Have Timber.

Up on Lake Champlain they are OPP
Grating a floating sawmill with a great
deal of success. 1t is a two stored,
arlSlike affair, built upon a heavy foat
The boiler and saving machinery oc-
cupy the entire main deck. The upper
story is divided into living rooms for
the crew. AS soon as the mill has fin
ished with one batch of logs a small tug
lows IT to the next cove The mill can
be hired by the week or by the Job, and
In some cases the logs have been cut on
shares. The result has been that farmers
along the lake have been able to cut
their trees and market the lumber with
profit.
There was a time when Lake Cham
plain was one of the greatest lumber
marts In the world. Burlington, VT,
was the centre of a vast business, and
Its waterfront was a network of mills.
A shortage of timber on the shores of
the lake and in the immediate back
country has dwarfed the industry. I'm
proved transportation facilities have
made 1t possible to send mills into the
woods and ship out the lumber directlyl
The lake is no longer a necessary ad-
junct TO the trade. Now by means OF
the floating sawmill, the stray ends will be
picked up and the last sign of market
able timber will disappear.
The floating sawmill has gone into win
ter quarters behind the Burlington
breakwater, where II attracts much at
attention. high stack rises out of
the house at the stern. giving the craft
the appearance OF an antlquated steam
er. In the same end are wide doors,
through which the logs are hauled TO
the saving block. The lumber is passed
out through one portfolio in the
side of the barge and the slabs
through another. The sawdust and
scraps are carried to the fireroom, and
furnish the fuel The mill will start on
its round of the lake as soon as the ice
breaks up In the spring. Now that the
success OF the scheme has been proven
the floating mill will have TO work over
time, as the farmers will do much log
ging this winter.-[New York Tribune.

HENS THAT PAID,

Anthony Herald; A year ago Miss
Leslie Madison, daughter of Capt.
R. T. Madison, east of town,
bought two settings of eggs of the
famous Hawkins Royal Blue Ply
mouth Rock chickens and succeeded
in rearing six hens and oookerel
from the investment. Last year
from this flock she raised $50 full
-blooded chickens. This is mar
vellous increase and shows conclus-
lively that.a young lady on farm
can add to her bank account as well
as perform her household duties.
These chickens readily sell at 81
each, and some of the cockerels bri ny
as high as IS apiece.

grocery man if he sold sand for
sugars What do you think of a
druggist, who offers yo,la substitute
