Here Is the handiest hog chute we

a couple of cultivator or any other

much more satisfactory than a wood

chute all that is necessary is to tilt
the rear end and push the frame to
the desired position, instead Of the
old, cumbersome method Of tugging
and dragging it around to where it
was wanted.
If the wheels are kept well creased
or oiled and if the chute is not too
heavy one can use it for moving heavy
articles around that could not be car

CURED on March 81. lS4S. Early on
tnat morning people living near the
Tails were surprised by q strange hush,
as startling In effect as would be an
unexpected and tremendous explosion
In an ordinarily quiet community.
Many persons thought they had been
afflicted with deafness. aud all were
oppressed by sensation of dread.
With the coming of light the amazed
people comprehended the reason for
the disquieting silence. Where they
were used to seeing the great falls was
a bare precipice down the face of which
rev small and constantly diminishing
streams trickled. Above the falls. in.
stead OF rushing river. was only a
naked channel. with insignificant
brooks splashing among the rocks. All
day long this astounding condition con.
dnued. and persons walked, dryshod
from the Canadian side. along the very
edge or the precipice. as far as Goat
island. on the American side.

familiar thunder of the great cataract

spring. The winter of 1918 was one
or extreme severity. and ice of unprece
denied thickness formed ON Lake Erie.
When the breakup came toward the
end OF March a strong southeast wind
was blowing. and the ice was piled into
banks as large as icebergs
Toward the night Of March 30 the
wind suddenly changed to the opposite
direction. increased to q terrific gale
and drove the ice into the entrance of
Niagara river with such force that a
huge dam was formed. of such thick
ness and solidity as to be practically
impenetrable and strong enough to
hold back the great mass of water
pressing against 1t. At last. in the
early morning of April I. the ice dam
gave way under the tremendous pres
sure OF restrained water. and the falls
were once again one of the scenic won.
