Young Hunters Lose Sleep

Now that the hunters are return
ing from the mountains many are the
tales told of pranks played.
One old hunter was telling his
friends the other day of a prank he
played on young and energetic hunt
er from New York, a man who be-
lieved he knew all there was to be
known of wild animals of the woods.
Every day this ambitious young
hunter would go on the hunt for deer
alone and return with tales of the
footprints and other signs he had
seen of deer within short distance of
the camp. Every depression among
the leaves on the ground, every leaf
turned over and every twig snapped
was sure sign, to his mind, that deer
had been on the ground, perhaps a
whole herd of them.
Early, very early, one morning the
old hunter arose quietly and took with
him the hoof of a deer that he car
ried with him for luck-a big bucks
hoof- and crept to the tent of the
young hunter, where he made imprints
on the soft ground all around it. Many
times around it went the footprints,
and then off into the woods.
When the young hunter arose in
the morning and saw the prints, clear
and distinct, he said nothing, but de-
cided that he would sit up that night
and shoot the big buck and so get
ahead of his companions; especially
the old hunter, who thought he knew
80 much. 49,
He sat up that night and many 9th:
er nights in the bitter cold while his
companions slept peacefully and COM
fortably under good warm blankets.

mentioned that this interesting new

effect, a floating: Afe-saving station. She
has line-carrying guns, breeches buoys,

utensils of modern life-saving corps,

die heavy-sea working boats under all
conditions likely to be encountered in
rescuing imperiled persons from strand

Seneca will, at all times, carry an extra
supply of provisions for suffering mar:
liners and has surplus quarters where
rescued persons may be accommodated
until they can be landed at some con-
venient port.
The Seneca is as powerful as she is
staunch. This is essential, for the ship
has been designed to be capable of
steaming 5000 miles without once STOP

need for activity in stormy weather

fact that her 1900 horse power, triple

PROGRESSIVE FARMING.

A man near Williston by the name
of w. w. Pease, has certainly got the
system whereby he kills two birds
with one stone" Mr.. Pease says he
can save time by doing both his nar-
vesting and blowing at the same time
and when he has finished his cutting
of $50 acres of grain, he will also
have his blowing done and can devote
the remainder of his time Hreshing
for himself and his neighbors. Mr..
Pease bitches three big gangs to his
threshing engine and hooks his bind
er on behind them ana while the bind
er is cutting one swath of grain the
plows are turning over the stubble,
where the binder ran the round be-
fore. From his experience this year,
Mr. Pease finds that this method OF
harvesting and blowing Is a great deal
cheaper than doing the work with
horses and at two operations, and the
best feature of his method is that
his blowing IS done early, which
brings added revenue in the next
years crop.
