Thrilling Fishing Experience In
Northern Michigan.
Upon one occasion In northern Mich
igan | was trout fishing In company
with veteran timber cruiser, man
who knew everything about the rough
bush life says writer In Worlds
Work. In time we reached bend In
the stream where lot OF small logs
had jammcd during the spring freshet.
My comrade unconcernedly ventured
upon the logs, and before | could fol-
low by some niischance he stepped
upon loose one and instantly disap-
peared. Had not been looking at him
II Is likely should have imagined he
had crossed and gone into the brush
upon the farther side. One log OF all
the mass was rolling, and hand show
ed at one side OF II. TO dart across and
seize the hand occupied very few Sec
onds, but to my horror | could not pull
him up through the narrow space
through which he had slipped. To set
Il foot upon the log either side the open
Ing and shove with all strength was the
only hope. For seconds clung TO the
wrist and strained nightly. Slowly
the logs separated and up he came till
he was able to twist upon his stomach
across log. Half drowned rs he was.
he had not lost his nerve. "Do don't
let 'em squeeze back on me- lie gasp-
ed. and moment later he was OIL his
feet. Most men would have weakened
then. but he was iron. He had 'wal-

had no idea of proving false. The logs
were slowly slipping farther apart and
was standing like certain large gen
tlcmuu of Khodes and unable to stand
much more spreading or to spring to
either side, while. Of course, to slip
into the water meant to enter the trap
lie had just escaped. In II few seconds
he seized my hand and one quick haul
carried me to firm footing. The logs
at once closed like a gigantic trap.
When we reached solid ground my COM
rade almost collapsed, and for half an
hour he was very sick man. Later

CHAPTER XIII.

THE VISITOR AT MIDNIGHT.
~ ELOW the castle and its dis.
tressed occupants, in dark,
damp little room, Grenfall Lor-
ry lived year in day. On
the night Of the 18th, or, rather, near
the break of dawn on the 10Th, Captain
Quinnox guided him from the danger
Gus streets of Edelweiss to the secret
passage, and he was safe for the time
being. The entrance to the passage
was through a skillfully hidden OPEN
ing in the wall that inclosed the park.
A stone doorway so cleverly construct
ed that It defied detection led to set
of steps, which in turn took one to a
long. narrow passage. This ended In
a stairway fully quarter Of mile
from its beginning. Ascending this
stairway one came to a secret panel
through which, by pressing n spring.
the interior Of the castle was reached.
The location Of the panel was in one
of the recesses in the wall of the chap
el, near the altar. 1t was in this chap
el that Yetive exchanged her male at
tire for a loose gown weeks before, and
the servant who saw her come from
the door at an unearthly hour In the
morning believed she had gone there

Will the Hand Separator System
Prevail in the Dairy Industry?

Time, or some person endowed with
supernatural power ef predicting future
events, only can tell whether the hand
separator system is eventually to become
the chief system in the manufacture of
butter, but nevertheless, as this system
apparently is on an increase, thought
of this kind often creeps into the man
who is interested in that work, says Iowa
Farmer. With the capitalists, separator
manufacturers and separator agents on
the one side, active for the growth and
support of this system, and as rule with
the farmers, butter makers and few
dairy enthusiasts on the other, perhaps
putting forth only inactive restraint, one
is tempted to draw the conclusion in
favor of the former class in regard to the
prevalency of this system.
The separator agents are perhaps do
ing more towards magnifying the advan-
tages, and making the disadvantages of
the hand separator system among the
farmers appear as insignificant as possi-
bic, than any other class of men. III
they can persuade them to believe that
one hundred dollars is a small, insig-
nificant sum in comparison to what may
be earned from that investment above
the earnings of the system, which they
are already pursuing, they care little
about the ultimate results of the plan,
when put into execution. The agents
are not to be censured on this account,
but those who have more direct inter-
est in the ultimate product, viz, butter,
ought to raise objections, if a one-Sided
view of this question is permitted. If
the conclusions as to the advisability of
this system are to be drawn from the
advantages considered numerically, IN
contrast with the ''hauling milk sys-
tenn" then the hand separator system
will certainly come out ahead. The
chief advantages of the hand separator
system are as follows:
l. Better SKINNED milk for feed.
?. The milk can be skinned and fed
at regular hours.
3. Not so much to haul to the cream
cry, hence less time and less cost.
1. The capacity of a plant can be IN
creased.
The chief disadvantages are:
1. A poorer quality of butter.
2. The application of hand power in
the separation of milk.
If the hand separator system is the
coming one, and no effective and sys-
tematic restraint can be wisely admin
istered, then it is time for the friends
of good butter to come out and give a
helping hand toward improving the quail
ity of cream, so that quality OF but
ter suitable to the taste of consumers
and commanding the highest market
price can continue to be manufactured.

The Farm Home Is Best.
THE PEACE AND QUIET OF THE COUNTRY
DESIRABLE RATHER THAN THE RUSH
OF THE CITY.

The country is full of men out on
strike. We read about these difficulties
in the dispatches from New York, from
Chicago and from almost every city in
the land. Sometimes we farmers won
der how men can live in the city without
working, but we scarcely stop, after all,
to inquire into it very closely. We are
busy about our farm wOrk-too busy to
give more than passing glance at these
labor troubles.
The fact is in such times, when the
industrial world is torn with these war
fares between labor and capital, the
farm is about the best place in the
world to be. Once in while a hired
man puts his things into handkerchief
and says goodby to us; but aside from
that we of the farms know very little of
what strikes mean. Our work goes right
along day after day and month after
month in the same quiet way. If there
comes a rainy day, We tinker around the
house or barns for while; then sit
down and read or doze along until chOre
time again, resting and laying in thought
and strength for the days that are to
come.
More and more men are coming to see
and understand that for real life the
country is the place. Things get exceed
ingly tiresome in the city sometimes, es-
pecially about this time of year; when
the hot weather is fairly on and the sky
is all in blaze. In the country we are
busy, but not too busy to enjoy the
fresh breezes which come drifting up
from the woods. Tired at night? True;
but just enough so TO drop away into
dreams when the days work is over and
waken when the birds are singing their
morning songs. Such rest as comes with
those dreams! We get up with the edges
that had been unraveled by care and
toll all knitted together as good as new.
We drive up the cows along the shady
lane and rob them once more of their
harvest of pure milk. And our voices
go up in prayer of praise for all things
given us. What care we for the hot
battles that will be waged to-day in the
world beyond our sight? The strikes and
the lockouts and the shutdowns are all
dim and indistinct to us.
The time has come when the farm
appeals to the sick and the tired of the
cities. Men still want to touch life
where everything is on the go once in
while; but they never forget the peace
of the farm. And that is where you and
|, brother farmer, have the advantage of
them all. The farm is ours. We will
enjoy it to the full.-Tribune Farmer.

What Does It Signify?

We lately overheard two of our we'll
known dairymen declare that starting
years ago with a selected herd OF grade
dairy cows, and since then purchasing
bulls from the leading families OF the
same breed they had never been able to
grow a herd equal to the original stock.
The purpose has been, all the while, TO
improve, and care has been taken in the
selection of males but the result has
has been to lower the production and
probably tn, size. -.
II this be true it is problem to be dis
cussed. The original stock in Doth
cases was made up of the old winthrop
Jerseys. What does this signify! What
saw our breeders and dairymen? we
give the facts as stated and ask the
opinions of those most Interested

Crop Conditions in Massachusetts.

A ride through central Massachusetts,
and up the Connecticut river the present
week with the opportunity for chat
with scores of farmers gives fair i'm
preston of the crop conditions there at
the present time. The hay crop which
is not half harvested is not any better If
as good as in Maine and the corn fields
show little or no improvement. The
stand is uneven and stalks look sickly
save on very few pieces. Potatoes are
not as good as with us and the crop can
hardly be an average. Grain is reported
fine in every section and already many
fields have been cut. Feed is excellent
and stock in fine condition. The fruit
crop does not promise as well as in
Maine, and the orchardists must con-
tent themselves with light crop,
''practically a failure" is the way they
voice the situation.
The Maine farmer has no cause to
complain when comparison is made with
other states.-Maine Farmer.
