pioneer days and have come out well-to-
do and prosperous farmers who are now
worth anywhere from $20,0 to 500, 900.
Another land boom has been gradual
ly brought about during the last five
years, owing to good crops, telephone
and the many other improvements that
go TO make an up-to-date country,
and il is predicted by the old settlers
that this will be apermanent settlement,
and that land values are bound to
increase from year to year. The steam
system of breaking the prairie has been
applied quite extensively during the
present season. 1t is very dry here now
no rain having fallen during the last two
months consequently a small acreage of
wheat will be sown this fall. The entire
cost of putting out a sod crop of wheat
here is $500 per acre and the old settlers
say that the first crop will pay for the
land aside from expenses the first year.
OF course the farmer does not depend
entirely on grain for everything. but
combines it with stock and most of them
think it can't be duplicated.
l will now give some sort of an idea
of harvesting. Headers are used great
deal more than binders 1t requires six
men, ten horses, and two wagons with
a large fiaring barge to hold the headed
grain. This outfit puts the grain in the
stack at an expense of $l25 per acre.
1t takes one man and six good horses to
operate the header alone, the other four
horses draw the two wagons, one follows
the machine while the other is at the
stack. What seemed odd TO me on first
sight was that the horses face the ma
chine and seemingly push instead of pull
it; il might be mentioned that the wagon
is in motion just the same as the machine,
as the headed grain has TO be conveyed
TO the barge. The wages paid this sea-
son were from Zoe for boys TO $3.50 per
day for stackers. As soon as harvest is
over the threshing follows, which is all
done at an expense of &C per bushel, the
threshermen furnishing the men and
boarding them by means of what is
called a cook-shack, or in other words
an ordinary dining room and kitchen on
wheels. Six men are supplied to get the
grain TO the machine and are paid s.. 90
per day, which means from sun-up until
sunset, Twill conclude by saying in
my next article may be able to tell you
something new.
Yours Respectfully

MRS. zILPHA RING

Mrs. Zilpha Robbins Ring, one of the
pioneer settlers of Gratiot county, died
at her home in Alma Tuesday morning,
October IL, 1905. Mrs. Ring was born
in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, June Z,
1922. In May, 1913, she was married to
Marcus Ring, who at the age of eighty
nine years survives her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ring moved to Gratiot
nearly fifty years ago when central
Michigan was a wilderness. They pur-
chased sixty acres of land and began to
hew out home in the forest. -Four
children were born before coming TO
Michigan, William H., Eliza A., James
M. and Helen. Five were born in this
state, Addie L., Jennie, Josephine, Nor
man j. and Efiiie NJ Five of the chill
dren are now living
Their first home in Gratiot county
was a log cabin of one room, and here
TO the wild music Of moaning winds and
bowling wolves Mrs. Ring reared her
children and performed the arduous
duties of pioneer wife. In those days
women as well as men were made of
granite and iron. Mrs. Ring besides
caring, well for her family worked in
the fields and cleared the land, helping
to carve out home in the forest.
Mrs. Ring was converted at the early
age of fourteen years, and for nearly
seventy wears lived "a consistent Chris
tan life. Mr.. and Mrs Ring were
among the first members of the Parkin-
son class, at the time when Father
Sheldon was the circuit rider, and their
house was always the preachers stop
ping place and all that they had was at
his disposal When at Quarterly Meet
ing time they would ask Sister Ring
how many she could take home with
her, she would answer, las many as
there are boards in the floor When
they first came to Michigan, at one time
they were in great need of provisions,
and Mrs. Ring prayed to God for help.
Before night her prayer was answered
and they promised God that what they
had should be His And all through the
after years of prosperity they gave
literally to the church, helping to build
seven churches and parsonages.
About three months ago she was
taken with the illness that terminated
life. During those last weeks she was a
constant sufferer but was patient and
trustful TO the end, and died triumphant
in the faith She leaves her husband,
five children and one sister, Mrs. Mary
Ring, to mourn her departure.
The funeral was held in the Methodist
church in Alma. conducted by Rev. G.
f. Hoag, and interment made in Brady
cemetery.

Wind superstitIons.

The Films of Norway long enter
tanned a traditional belief in the power
of controlling the winds by a small
rope with three knots tied in 1t. This
popular superstition gave rise to the
curious industry of making and selling
these wind controlling ropes with mag
ical knots to mariners and fishermen.
1t was believed that by unloosing the
first knot a favorable breeze was Sc
cured, the second raised a strong gale
and II the third knot was united II
would prove the prelude to a tempest.
According to Ranulph Higden, the
witches of the Isle of Man had a sim
liar ancient practice OF selling winds
TO sailors.
