PERILOUS RIDE IN A RoWBOAT.


How Two Michigan Men Gained q
Valuable Timber Claim.
Bert Marquette and A. Rogers, two
Cheboygan (Mich.) timber cruisers.
beat out rivals for a valuable piece of
land by using n leaky rowboat to ferry
them across thirty miles of stormy
water separating Isle Royale from the
north shore of Lake Superior, says the
st. Paul Dispatch. Marquette and
Rogers were in Duluth waiting for nav
igation to open, so they might be first
OH the ground. They took the first
steamer out for Isle Royale, and learn
ed that two other men on the vessel
were bound on the same mission-the
looking over a piece of timbered land
OH Isle Royale as preliminary to fl
ing on 1t as stone and timber claim.
Isle Royale is in the Marquette
(Mich.) land district. and whoever
reached Marquette first and made his
filing would be entitled to the land
under the law.
IT looked very much as If the race
would depend upon the last squirt of
the four from the railroad station at
Marquette to the land Office for they
would have to depend on the same boats
and trains to get them to the island
and then to the Michigan town. but
Rogers and Marquette. knowing there
would not be an early boat back 10
Duluth so early In the season. decided
to take chance with a rowboat, which
they found tied in sheltered cove.
The idea seemed foolhardy, for thirty
miles Of water interviewed between the
isle and the mainland, and as ii was
the season of storms, there seemed
about one chance in ten of a rowboat
being able to make such a trip. But
the Michigan men cast caution aside
md took the rowboat, leaving So as
rental. together with n note expla lining
nat the craft would be returned.
1t was not until they had got out
from the shore that they found that the
boat leaked. but by bailing with the
cups they carried in their packsacks
they managed to keep 1t from sinking.
No serious storms occurred during
the trip, though there was enough wind
TO keep the rowboat In constant
danger of being swamped. but the north
shore was made In safety and from
there the men Travelled by foot and
| stage to the Alger-Smith railroad and
thence TO Two Harbors by train. From
there to Duluth and Marquette the
Journey was easy, and the cruisers won
out by an easy margin. The rowboat
was sent back TO the island by the
next steamer.

Growing Soy beans.

Soy beans are good crop to raise
particularly for the small farmer. The
beans bring a high price-from S1.50 to
s. per bushel. BY growing variety
like Mammoth Yellow on soil that has
been wei; prepared and fertilized. a
yield VI twenty to forty bushels to the
acre should be secured, and as the soy
bean Is legume 1t will improve the
soil. Soy beans should be inoculated
before planting on field where they
have not been previously grown.
When the ground has been well mel
lowed and the crop is wanted for pas
ture in the green form, or for hay or
manure, IT may be broadcast or plant
ed in rows.
When wanted mainly for the grain
the seed is put in rows with the grain
drill more commonly, but sometimes
with the corn planter or the ordinary
bean planter.
In growing the small varieties the
rows may be as near as twenty-four
inches. The largest varieties call for
distance between the rows of not less
tl,an three feet
The plants i'm the row will bear grow
lng thickly. as the habit of growing is
upright. The distance between the
plants may vary from two to five or
six inches. according to the size of the
plants. The amount of seed used per
acre Is seldom more than one bushel
