The homeward voyage OF the MIN
rod, the vessel of the Shackleton ex-
pedition, has been marked by the dis
covery on Macquaire island, nearly
500 miles northwest of New Zealand,
Of a modern Bobinson Crusoe--a soli-
tary inhabitant with two dogs.
The Nimrod. under the command of
Capt. ]. X. Davis, left Sydney on May
8. and, says Reuter-, in accordance
with Lieut.. Shackleton's instructions,
proceeded south In order to visit Mac
charted groups OF islands. the actual
existence of which was doubtful. Mac
quaire island was discovered In the
early part OF the last century by a
colonial sealing vessel. II is Fl miles
long and five miles broad and Is the
home of countless myriads of pen
gums. sea birds and seals.
A visit was paid to the southeast
point of the island and some speci-
mems collected. and then the Nimrod
proceeded along the coast northward.
AS she drew near Nugget point, from
which a reef of rocks extends for
some distance seaward. two huts were
seen on the shore and also the wreck
OF a vessel high and dry on the beach.
In his report Capt. Davis says:
Suddenly. to our surprise. column
OF smoke rose from the smaller OF the
two huts. AS we had heard nothing OF
anyone living on the island, this was
extraordinary. Presently. with the
glasses, we could make out the figure
OF man standing at the door OF the
smaller of the huts watching our ap-
proach. We came to anchor. and the
boat was lowered and headed for the
shore.
THE man now walked down to the
beach, accompanied by two little dogs.
There was a heavy surf, but our Cru
soe-like friend. after pointing out the
best landing place. walked into the
water and assisted In Bleaching the
boat.

was William McKibben. and that he

and the party's vessel was filled with
barrels OF oil he had elected to remain
on the island by himself In order TO
collect oil for the following season.

Elevation Of Hog House.

IL is only natural that the climate
and soil which will best favor the
production OF any live stock are those
In which the same stock is found
wild. in his natural state. The hog ia
found where vegetation is abundant
and luxuriant, where he can find shel.
ter in winter and shade and plenty
OF water in the summer. writes ]. T.
Bridgman, in Orange Judd Farmer.
While he Is heavy feeder and
thrives best where he can find luxur.
liant pastures, roots, etc, he is not n
ranger and cannot endure a great
amount OF travel at one time. As
hogs are notably affected by extremes
of cold and heat, the character of
their shelter will have much to do
with their successful rearing. The
above being true, we will naturally
do best with hogs when we have ar
ranged their home and feeding
grounds. to a certain extent, at least,
such as he would choose for himself
In his wild state. Proper shelter is

WAGES PAID
FARM LABOR
Increased from $Io.43 An 1870
60 $I7 An IoO6-May Tend
90 Hold Men On
Farms.

Statistics gathered from the federal
governments reports show that the
average prices paid farm labor since
1879 have risen considerably. For the
year, or season, the monthly money
rate paid farm labor for the different
census periols was $10.43 In 1879,
1929 in 1898. s12.O2 in 1895. and in
creasing to SIT in 1906.
George X. Holmes, In Volume 33.
No. 2 of the 1909 annals OF the Ameri-
can Academy of Social Science, speaks
OF this wage as follows: "The express
sions OF farm wages in money and
as a rate is very misleading and is
probably one of the most powerful
causes Of the dissatisfaction OF the
laborer and OF his migration to higher
nominal money rates of wages in
town and city, The farm laborer re-
ceives some things besides money in
return for his labor. More or less in
lccal practice there are wage pay
ments which take the form OF bonus
es, such as house rent, or the use OF
d garden plot. or pasturage for COW,
or milk for the daily use of the fam
lily. or firewood. or feed for hog or
two, or the use OF horse and wagon
for family pleasure on certain days.
Then there is the low cost OF living in
the farm laborer's favor as compared
with the cost which he would find In
the city, which makes his money
wages much larger in fact than the
rates indicate. This fact, however, has
no weight With the farm laborer and
