OFFER ENTHUSES
MILITARY men
Members of State Board Con-
slider Proffer of Site for M.
N. G.. Maneuvers
From a stoff Correspondent.

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 2l.-Mem-
bers OF the state military board and
officers OF the national guard who
went to Grayling last week and In
spected the tract OF land which X.
Hanson. a wealthy lumberman OF
that city offers the state as a per-
manent camp site for the militia, are
enthusiastic over the proposition and
there is possibility that the offer
will not go unheeded.
Ths tract, which includes about $4,000
acres OF cutover timber land, is locat-
ed In Crawford county. II Is valued at
from IS to S12 per acre. In its center
Is located a magnificent lake, whose
waters are the playground for thou
sands Of wild foul during the spring
and fall of the year. Deer, and prac-
tically every kind OF game hnd q
still standing on the big tract OF land
that surrounds the lake.
Without affecting Its natural beau.
ty or its usefulness as game pre-
serve, the members OF the state mill
tary board are OF the opinion that II
can be transformed into one of the
most magnificent camp sites In the
country.
Most OF this land was purchased by
Hanson from the state more, than q
quarter OF a century ago, and the tim
Der which he cut from the many acres
yielded him a fortune. Some time
ago he conceived the idea that II
would be a nice thing to return this
land to the state to be used as park
or q game preserve, but when IL was
proposed that he turn the land over
TO the state to be used as a maneuver
ground, he Immediately. accepted the
suggestion and placed the matter be-
fore the military board.
Portage lake Is entirely surrounded
by the land which Hanson proposes
to turn over TO the use OF the state
troops. Back from the lake stretches
miles OF land well suited for man
uevers. field firing and bivouac
camps, while the state forestry re-
serve OF $4,000 acres, Just three miles
10 the south affords unlimited pos
sibilities in the way OF field work.
Capt. F.. L. Wells, the regular army
oficer who has been detailed by the
federal government as instructor and
Inspector OF the Michigan National
Guard. was a member OF the party
that inspected the proposed site. and
he pronounced II one OF the finest
be had ever seen.
II has not yet been determined
what action will be taken relative TO
tie OFFER OF Mr. Hanson. The land
is offered to the state with no condi-
tions imposed. Owing to the fact
that much land In the vicinity Is
rapidly being cleared for farming pur-
posed, Hanson's tract which is now
worth $4,000, Is rapidly increasing
In value. The people Of Grayling are
enthusiastic over the proposal TO
br'rg the state troops to Crawford
county and are willing TO do any,
thing in their power TO secure the
camp site.

Several days ago they felt for
Partisan Island at the lower, end OF
Lake Superior TO look over n mining

TO return home heavy seas crippled
their engine and they padded back
to shelter.
Making temporary repairs they
started out again Thursday afternoon.
Once again the seas crippled their
little craft and using a blanket for q
sail they drifted helplessly about In
the storm and the engine was again
repaired. Although all three men
were considerably weakened they
we're little the worse for their ex'

TO MAKE PAPER FROM GRASS
MlIl to Be Started at Ell Paso, Tex,
to Compel Weed to Yield Easy
Profit to Farmers.

81 Paso, Tex, is to have a paper
mill alongside the arena in which that
famous place has had other kinds of
mills which are more talked about.
This new mill Is of good deal of con-
sequence as compared with the pugi-
listic mills. 1t is to make paper of
bear grass. Even the thrifty wisdom
OF Texas was not equal to making
anything but nuisance OF bear grass
before the paper idea was worked out
at St Louis. After five years OF sue
cess in Missouri, FL Paso, in the midst
OF millions of acres of the grass, is go
ing TO make paper. 1t is claimed that
the highest grades of paper for or
binary print and commercial uses can
be made of bear grass, and the prices
range lower, because there is an
abundant supply and the cost is all
in gathering the grass. An acre of
bear grass makes nearly as much pa
per as an acre Of Maine spruce trees.
and the grass grows annually 1t looks
like sharp competition for the spruce,
which grows in no such hurry as that
by about 40 years.-W Worcester Tele-

HOW TO PLANT STRAWBERRY
Best to Have Plants in Bucket Con-
tanning Water to Keep Roots
in a Moist Condition.

One of the best methods OF planting
strawberries is tol thrust a spade
straight into the ground at the proper
place to a depth of five or six inches,
writes r. S. Sando in Outing, and
then lean it over to one side, forcing
the soil out of the way and leaving
a wedge shaped hole, one wall of
which is straight up and down. The
roots of the plant should be spread
out in a fan shape against this wall
and the spade, then set in the ground
about six inches farther forward, and
by backward movement OF the ham
die firmly press the dirt against the
roots of the plant. To lend additional
tirmness to the soil, step with one
foot on either side of the plant
The last hole made by the spade
should have some soil raked into 1t
before leaving. When setting the
plants it is best to have them in a
bucket containing little water in
order that the roots may be kept
moist until they are planted; but it is
not necessary or advisable to water
plants Immediately after setting
them

MANY FAKES WITH BEES
.Nonswarming Hives Are Deusion,
Pure and SimpIe-"Shook Swarm"
Plan Is Described.

Most Of the socalled nonswarming
hives are fakes pure and simple The
very last word on the subject is that
of the shook swarm" plan, that en-
ables the beekeeper to swarm each
hive artificially at his convenience and
not that Of the bees. This is the best
method in vogue and is really very
simple DR.. D. Everett Lyon explains
the process in the Farm and Home:
When a hive gives evidence that it is
thinking about swarming, as seen in
the bees clustering on the outside of
the hive and the presence of queen
cells started in the brood nest, it is
time to shake them.
Take an empty hive with lid and
bottom board in place and with the
frames of the hive containing strips of
foundation wax in place as full combs
Place the empty hive alongside the
one about to swarm and then, lifting
the brood frames from the old hive,
shake off from each frame almost all
the bees until all the frames have
been so shaken in front of the new
hive, being sure to shake the queen
along with the bees.
Then set the old hive with its brood
nest off some distance and put the
new hive with the bees in its place.
Be sure to take all the storage cham
bers from the old hive and place them
on the new hive into which the bees
have been shaken. The working force
is with the new hive and that's where
we want the storage chambers. which
will be quickly filled. as the bees, hav-
ing only started strips of wax in the
brood combs, must, Of necessity, store
the honey coming in the next few days
in the upper stories until such time as
they will get the starters drawn out
into full combs

SAVING TREES BY GRATING
Injured Parts Are Bridged by Means
of Scions of Last Years Growth
plan Outlined.

Orchard trees which have been Cir
died may often be saved by what is
called bridge grating. This consists
in bridging the injured parts by means
of scions of the last seasons growth,
thus connecting the part below the
wound with that above. First trim
the bark around the injured parts.
Then sharpen the ends of the scions
to a wedge shape and fit tightly into
the layer of new wood just beneath
the bark, called the Cambium layer.
Cover the union at the end of the
scions with grating wax, completely
to exclude the air. Also wrap the
wound with cloth to protetct 1t from
drying out, likewise cover the wax
with old muslin to keep it from being
melted by the sun. If the lower edge
of the wound is near enough to the
ground to make it practicable to do so,
1t is better to cover it three or four
inches deep with fresh earth.
Where the trees are very young and
the girdling is severe, cutting the
trunk off below the wound is probably
the best treatment The exposed part
of the stub should at once be coated
with grating wax. Select the best
sprout that starts and support it by
tying it to a firm stake until it is
stocky enough to withstand strong
winds without danger of being broken
off. When the sprout is we'll started
dress the stump so that it may heal
over readily. Cut the stub slanting at
the base Of the sprout so that it will
shed water. Then cover the wound with
paint made of pure white lead and raw
linseed oil, to protect it from water
and from disease germs. Do not
spread the paint beyond the cut sur.
face. This method should produce
tree of bearing age sooner than one
could be grown from a replanted nur.
sery tree.
To make grating wax, melt togeth-
er four parts, by weight, of resin, two
parts of beeswaX, and one part Of beef
tallow or raw linseed oil Apply while

along to the center, and then ascend.
Four pieces Of wood about three
inches wide, are firmly fastened with
screws, as shown, and three grooves
are cut in each Of these pieces, and
corresponding grooves in the two
large circles. The center grooves are
for foundation. and the other grooves
for glass. The foundation could be
wired if desired but if good thick
foundation is used find wiring is not
necessary.
The hole at the top may be used for
feeding or supporting. Special supers
could easily be made another hive
OF the same sort put on top, or bell
glass, as fancy dictates. | find this a
very useful and handy hive for obser-
walton purposes. and the making and
material are not at all expensive.
All the doings of the bees and queen
can be seen; and TO keep them in the
dark | merely put corrugated paper
around it, and keep the paper in its
place with piece Of elastic. In win
ter time, three or four folds OF paper
could be used to keep the bees warm.
These hives would do well for indoor
observation, or in a beehouse.
