Food and care Of work horses ir
warm weather Is a subject that Is wor-
thy of extensive discussion. Ordlnar.
lily farm horses will do better if turn.
ed to grass at night than If kept Oh
dry feed. 1t is much better for their
feet, and the change from dry to green
food Is beneficial In every way. One
of the most common mistakes made Is
that of overlooking, making two horses
do the work Of three. This in the long
run is not economy. The majority OF
Transfers injure their horses by feed.
Ing too much hay, while in the case OF
road animals mistakes are often made
by driving too hard when starting out
on journey. One should start off al
a slow jog, gradually increasing the
speed, If this is necessary, after mile
or two has been covered. On the road
or in the field, 1t is usually well to
lessen the pace somewhat just before
unhitching, as the animal will then
get much ore good from the food con.
sumed. Horses should be watered as
frequently as possible, and It is much
better IL they are made to take the
bulk Of their drink before meals rather
than after. During warm weather the
horses will do much more work II they
are given water some time during The
middle of the forenoon and afternoon.

AEVtA PRISONS DROWNED
A STEAMER CAPSlzED ON LAKE
MICHIGAN.
Seven Persons Rescued After FLOATING
Around All Night on Pieces of
Wreckage-Boat Was Struck bv a
Squall During the Nieht-Seven
Miles From Land.

Marinette, Wis, Oct. 5.-During a
squat on Lake Michigan the steamer
j. H. Hackley capsized and II persons
were drowned. The Goodrich line
steamer Sheboygan rescued the other
seven persons on board the Hackley
after they had floated about on pieces
of wreckage all night. The Hackley
was struck by the squall when seven
miles off Green island. The upper
works were blown away before the
boat could reach a haven. The boat
then turned over and went down IN
deep water. The drowned:
George Laclaire, Jr, Jacksonport,
Wis; Joseph V. Crus, captain of the
Hackley, Fish Greek; Edna Barringer;
Lawrence Barringer, Fish Creek
Henry Rabitoy, Fish Greek; Carl KEEL
ky, Fish Creek; Miss Frances Vincent;
Miss Vincent's sister, Egg HarDor,
Wis.,; Freeman Thorp, Fish Creek;
Nels Nelson, Sturgeon Bay; Frank
Fftzgibbons, Jacksonport.-
The rescued: Frank Blakefield,
purser, Fish Creek; Orrin Rollin, en-
gineer, Fish Greek; Milton Hansen;
Blaine McQuesney, Fish Creek; tive
men of Ellison Bay. Wis.
1t was several hours after the Hack
ley sank before the Sheboygan hove
within sight.
After the Hackley went to the bot
tom those who would and could seized
on floating wreclage while the women
and three or four of the men, failing
to find any object to which to cling,
sank in the sea, SO far as known.
The waves were rolling high, and
several of those who at first saved
themselves from immediate death lost
strength and sank. 1t was more than
an hour after the Hackley sank before
the Sheboygan hove in hailing dis
lance. The shouts of the noating men
attracted the attention of the sailors
OF the Sheboygan and every assistance
was lent. The darkness made rescue
slow, but the officers of the Sheboygan
feel sure that they took ABOARD every
person afioat. Some of the persons
who were rescued say that it is pos.
sible that one or more of the II per-
sons missing may have escaped death.
This view is not given much credence
by the sailors of the Sheboygan. The
Sheboygan made into Fish Creek when
hope of rescuing other persons seemed
impossible.
The rescued persons were SO ex'
hausted from their struggles against
drowning that they were unable for
some time to tell anything about the
wreck.
The persons saved by the Sheboygan
say that with the washing away Of the
upper works all persons aboard the
Hackley ran on deck. Hasty prepare
lions for plunge into the water were
begun, but before any plans could be
carried out the boat listed, turned over
and went down like a rock. Search is
still making for any persons who may
have escaped death and for the bodies
of those who were drowned.

Potatoes are ready for digging as
SOON as the tops fall down. 1t is best
to dig them early in the day and allow
them TO remain on the ground for a
ro,v hours. when they should be taken
IA Tho farm and stored in cool, dark,
dry place; but it is not advisable to
n,oce too many In single heap. All
diseased or injured potatoes should be
removed from the lot, or they will have
mora or less effect upon the whole, as

foes may be stored In mounds during
tbe winter, but are not easily utilized

And he HES him to a grangers' institute,
There to hear, in learned lectures,
Agricultural conjectures
And to bark to PROFESSIONAL dispute.
Nm the platform sit the experts, wise,
sedate,
Each with boards of useful knowledge
meath his pate,
And they tell the farmer how
He should milk the speckled cow
I'm the fashion most approved and up to
date.
There are papers on ,"Rotation of the
Crops"
dissertations on "The Proper Poles for
Hops"
And long, intense debate
On the question, grave and great,
"should the Barn BE Cleansed with
Pitchforks or with Mops"
allow to Trace the Willy Weasels to
Their Sources"
"Helpful Hints on Painless Dentistry for
Horses"
"How to Build a Stack of OATS
AZ n "Winter Shed for Coats
There are many more such edifying

Now the farmer sasely mods at all they
say,
And at shutdown, having spent pleasant

Homeward hastens to his toll
And proceeds to till the soil
In the very good ola-fashioned Jersey
