St Johns, N. r.. November 11.-capt.
James chalizer. master of the fishing
schooner Pilot of Brigus, Conception Bay
said tonight that while his vessel WAS
cod fishing in Mugford Bay, Northern
Labrador. about August 10, he started
overland ACROSS the cape to Black Duck
Bay, three miles distant, and came upon
grave surmounted by a cross bearing
the inscription:
.'Andre Ansty, November T. 1897"
The lettering was very faint and it was
difficult to tell whether the date of the
month was / or 7, but he decided it TO
be the latter.
Captain Chalker did not disturb the
grave and did not discover any docu-
ments and he does not know who is
buried there. He is positive that the
first word was ANDRE" (French for An
drew and not 'Andree.' 1t Is thought
here that possible explanation of the
grave may lie in the fact that fishermen
from Notre Dame Bay of the name of
Ansty fish near Cape Mugford every
summer and that one of these may have
died and been buried there. Against this
theory is the fact that Newfoundlanders
always endeavor to bring home their
dead from the fishing ground.
The point where the grave was found
is about three-quarters of mile from
the coast. Captain Chalker says he could
locate the grave again very easily.
There was no wreckage near nor any
other objects about the cross. The near
est settlement to it is 20 miles away.

CARE AND USE or STRAW.
How the Farmer Can Make II Count
for the Most.

In the care and use of straw the
first requisite is to begin caring for
the straw at the proper time, which is
when the grain is mature enough to
insure it's becoming thoroughly dry In
shock. stack or barn before being
threshed. Having cut and shocked the
grain at the proper season, the next
requisite is to house or stack careful
ly, housing being preferable to stack
ing, of course, for both grain and
straw. Permit the observation in this
connection that either straw or hay
stacked out will soon be thing of the
past. After having permitted grain to
remain in barn a sufficient length of
time to insure a right condition for
threshing, secure the services Of
thresher whose work it will be to
store away straw in shed and grain in
granary, or otherwise, if so directed.
The straw is now in shed, well cured
and in good condition for feed, bedding
or for market if desirable; but we
would confine it's uses to the farm, as
the farm from which the straw is
marketed becomes, in the course of
time, sterile.
Shortly after threshing is done the.
season is at hand when the stock
which has been roaming over the
green pastures all summer will enjoy
having shelter over them at night and
a nice clean dry bed whereupon they

which are, of course, indispensable.
weather has become severe it will be-
come necessary to have shelter for
the stock and feed within their reach
all the time. The shed with the straw
therein will supply both of the above
and will also keep droppings and bed

the fields as fertilizer, thus repaying
the farmer for caring for his straw

The shed and stables in which the
straw bedding has been used may be
cleaned out at the farmers leisure

PROPER LOCATION OF DRAINS.
Before Beginning Work Make Accu
rate Map of Area to Be Drained.

John T. Stewart, in an address to
Minnesota farmers, said:
The basis for all drainage improve
ments is an accurate map of the area
to be drained. Such map, known
as a topographic map, should show all
local improvements, the boundaries of
lands to be benefited by the drain
age and the boundary of the water
shed. 1t should also show the eleva-
ton above a fixed point of all sloughs.
low lands and the tops of ridges
through which it might be necessary
to construct the outlet channel, and
wherever practicable and funds are
available five-foot contours should be
sketched of the field.
With such a map the engineer can
determine the best outlet and route
for the proposed channel. On this
map the location for the proposed
drains can be laid out, their grade,
size and approximate cost determined,
after which the ditch may be staked
out on the ground, making such minor
changes as are found necessary by
closer study of the route. Where a
detailed survey has been made and
the notes plated it is economy to es-
tablish a few permanent marks, from
which the survey could be continued
or another engineer at some future
time could take up the work where it
has been left off without having to
duplicate that which has already been
done. Land owners should select
points for these marks where there is
little danger of their being molested
and then see to it that they are pre-
served.
Farmers as rule do not realize the
advantages in preserving survey mon
uments. This fact alone has been
the cause of waste of much money
by the duplication of work. Surveys
for drainage often costing several
hundreds Of dollars, have frequently
been made, and where the construc.
ton work was not carried out the
notes and plats We're never filed and
no permanent mark left. When the
work is taken up a few years later, it
is necessary to duplicate the survey.
A few additional dollars spent in
making permanent marks and in pre-
pairing the records for filing would
have preserved the entire work for
future use.
In maiy cases an engineer is en-
ployed to stake out drain on a
route which is supposed to be the
best one no examination is made for
another route or outlet, the area of
the watershed is not looked up. AS
a result the size of the ditch is mere
ly guess. Time may develop the fact
that the best route was not selected,
and the ditch is either too large or
too small. and consequently does not
perform it's work satisfactorily. A
ditch being improperly located either
does not drain all the land it should,
or is expensive to construct or
maintain,

Select Seed Corn Early.

The general practice here is to select

those hopelessly out of the running
seemed to be really enjoying them
selves.
1t was expected that the judges
would not remain out long, but a half
hour went by, and they were still de-
batting in the little summer house to
which they had withdrawn. A feel
ing of uneasiness began to make itself
apparent. Bets were cancelled, and re-
arranged again. No one seemed as
confident as at the opening of the
contest. At last the judges were seen
to rise, and then, two by two, they
came across the lawn, and took their
places on fower-decked platform. A
sudden hush fell over the assembly.
The chairman waited until everyone
had come within hearing distance of
the stand before making his announce
ment, then, after reading the clause
in the will, he said:
"The difficulties in the way of fair
decision can hardly be appreciated by

AXLE GREASE.
1t Does Not Pay to Use Any But the
Best.

The usefulness and durability of a
wagon or dray depends greatly upon
the proper care of the wheels and
axles. The prevailing idea among both
farmers and draymen is that grease is
grease anywhere and it doesn't matter
much what kind or how it is applied,
just so it is applied. Many wagon
owners cut the bookings out of their
wagon wheels by some inferior lubri-
cant. Many of these run and leave the
spindle dry or form stiff. gritty sub
stance in the wheel which is very bad
The right axle grease should have
proper body: should not be so thin as
to run nor so thick as to cake. There
are plenty of reliable axle greases on
the market and there are plenty which
are not reliable. Get good. eXpen-
sive kind and stick 10 it. 1t pays

The judges had decided to make
the award after mingling informally
with their towns-people, so there was
no set ceremony, no drawing-up of the
contestants. People strolled about or
talked together in groups, as at a gar
den party. Here and there girl was
seen whose heightened color betrayed
her consciousness of being under
scrutiny. for it was generally known
that the courteous judges, chatting
casually with their friends and &C.
quaintances, were all the while CLEAN

service in making the decision. The

favorable to the setting forth of femi-

to straighten, and Dora's infantile nose
failed to save the day for her. AS for

pended on pink ribbons, they had all
apparently chosen the wrong colors.

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou.
sands Of Devout Pilgrims.

Thousands of pilgrims from the va

OF the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning to the
temples of Jagernath. says the Cal

The image of the god is placed on
conspicuous part of the temple, so
that it can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd of pilgrims,
and there at certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part of the festi-
val is that water is not poured on the
image of the god until certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner of the temple. There is pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri, the famous place of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day of this
festival, and his very presence is an
Indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.
