difference is that one set Of rows Is

ments at the farm show that mnch the
better product in merchantable pota-
toes comes from the rows that are not
hilled. The potatoes dug from these
rows are Of large size. and AL market
able. and in the case Of the hilled
potatoes much OF the product promotes
the growth Of the tops, Thus the hilled
rows look much more promising than
those that are not hilled, bnt when
il comes 70 actual digging the external
appearance Of the field Is contradicted
by the results.
The next session Of the legislature
should be- approached with strongly
put demands from this region for a
separate and distinct board Of control
for the Chatham farm, said the man
interviewed by the Mining Journal.
only after this change is made will
the farm be able 10 wholly fulfill It's
mission. At present il is conducted
under the direction OF the state agIi-
cultural board, and though the last
legislature passed a bill giving the mp
per peninsula one member Of this board
il does not yet seem TO nave dawned
on IL that the agricultural interests OF
this region are worthy Of attention.
The Chatham farm has been handicap
ped since its inception by niggardly
and short-sighted treatment by the
state board The farm recently asked
for thresher, which was urgently
needed, and you should see the outfit
the board sent up from Lansing. II
was an old, out-of date hand-power
outfit, with which tive men couldn'
thresh seven bushels OF grain in a day.
That seems typic& of the attitude of
the board in regard 10 the upper pen
insula station. Anything will do for
Chatham is the way it's members look
at IT, The farm has been trying TO
get gas engine, of which il is badly
In need, but has 80 far failed 20 make
any impression on the state board.
Conditions won be improved un
til the farm has board OF control of
it's own, and thus comes into it's pro.
per standing consider the farm has
a mission The experimental work
going on in connection with corn and
potatoes alone will be- Of incalculable
value When the Legislature j. i'm
session there should be a united move
ment by the upper peninsula members
to the end that the farm is assured Of
the recongition which is its, and the
upper peninsula Just due.

CAUGHT THE GHOST


Figure IN Black.
For some time past the women and
children Of the Great Western location
have been scared out OF their wits by a
mysterious figure in black that
paraded the streets and alleys Of the
locations in the late hours Of the night
and early hours OF the morning. The
figure WAS seen plainly on several oc-
casions and when chased always disap-
peared up in the vicinity of the north
east end OF the location.
IL was commonly supposed that the
ghost was some boy or man mas
querading 10 scare people and for the
last two weeks the people over there
have been laying for the ghost.
They caught It. Last Friday even
ing Frank Nemacheck caught sight Of
the ghost. gave chase and captured il
just AZ 1t was ducking around the
corner Of one Of the location houses.
Mr.. Nemacheck supposed 1t 10 be a
boy and snatching the mask OIL the
face exclaimed. what are you doing
about here soaring people when TO
his amazement feminine voice re-
piled, I'm just coming from the
Crystal Falls mine
Mr.. Nemacheck was so taken back at
the discovery that the ghost was
woman that she slipped out of his
grasp and disappeared ere he came 10
his senses. He saw sufficient Of her
face and figure to be quite certain who
the person is. She has light hair and
speaks English duently.
It is not probable that the residents

The Value of a Grange.

A subordinate grange is the most
practical and the most natural means of
promoting all the interests of a rural
community ever conceived in the history
of the world. 1t contributes to the
social life by frequent regular meetings
in which the art of sociability is so
agreeably and informally taught as to
fascinate rather than repel those partici-
pating in the exercises. 1t affords con-
venient and agreeable society for old
and young in which the highest stand
ard of morality is maintained, thereby
preventing association of an opposite
nature. It contributes to the happiness
of home by the mental recreation afford
ed all members of the family in the
various grange gatherings attended,
thereby broadening their mental vision
and increasing their happiness, which is
sure to be reflected in the home life.
The general intelligence of its men,
bers is increased by the frequent dis
cussion of questions of a public nature
and by the educating influences of other
exercises, resulting in mental develop
ment. 1t contributes to the general
welfare by dissipating neighbood quar-
rels; by breaking up long standing feuds
caused by church, school or society
troubles; by promoting better roads,
better schools, and better farming; and
by stimulating more interest in public
affairs, resulting in the elect ion of better
men to office aud better enforcement of
lawn. j. Bachelor in New England

WEEKLY LETTER
Spring Fashions In colors and Fabries
Advance Styles In Semi.mads Robes
and Shirt Waist Patterns.

As soon as the SHOWS Of January be-
gin to fall the southern exodus takes
place and some Of the most fashionable
gowns Of the season are trav cling south
to make gay with beauty and color
those sunny, southern towns. Snow
and ice, sleet and hail are left behind,
with slippery sidewalks, to the unfortu.
mates who have to remain. What
pity every one cannot hie away from
busy, wintry New York, with trunks
filled with fluffy. floating, fascinating
things that are only made for verandas
and shaded magnolia walks.
A gown builder on Fifth avenue has
just finished one Of these gowns for q
well known society girl to take south.
1t Is the familiar but ever beautiful
combination Of white cloth and lace,

stunning little bolero Of lace.

New York can quickly make use Of
them. A young lady who always does
her shopping in Paris and London came

Stock Notes.

Regularity in feeding and work makes
long-lived horses.
Irregular feeding makes thin horses,
no matter what quantity is given.
When oats are fed unthrashed they
make better balanced ration.
The pure-bred animal makes from
scrub conditions no more than the scrub
does.
Clover is richer than grass in the mus.
Gle formers; for young animals it is the
better feed.
Cream should have uniform consisten-
cy as we'll as uniform ripeness when IL
goes to the churu.
No animal of any breed or species o1
domestic animals will uniformly pro.
duce young that are all of superior
order.
The pure-bred animal is the more val.
liable simply because of its greater
capacity to appropriate favorable circum-
stances.
At no other time in the life of the ami
NAL is the influence of liberal or Of scant
feeding so great as when the animal il
young.
1t takes longer and costs more to
make up pound of loss than it does tn
add five pounds of gain under favorable
conditions.
The age of the animal has much to dc
with the gain, and, other things being
equal, a young, growing animal will
make a greater gain from bushel OF
corn than one near maturity.
A free use of the whip when unneces-
sary will make stubborn horses.
