'I’ll** Trent River runs a tumultuous
course among the Canadian rocks be-
fore it finally tumbles into Lake Su-
perl or It Is so broken that In most
ar passage in a canoe means as
much carrying as paddling, and the
shores are so rugged and covered
with tangled und tgrowth that travel
afoot verges on the impossible. Prob-
ably the difficulty of fishing It has
helped to keep it one of the best trout
streams on the North Shore.
A camping party from Duluth, con-
ufstin of Walter Pe&rson and his
broiher Joe, with three companions.
•four canoes and five Indian guides,
attempted it last summer, however,
and reached a point about fifteen
miles from the river-mouth. Here the
part: y stopped, and a couple of days
/later Walter and Joe dropped down
the stream in one of the canoes to j
fry Mie river a mile or tw;o below j j
camp.
There wore rapids, on an average, j
every fifty yards, but .nost of them .
could be run. Between them were
abrefehrs of deep, rapid water, where j
fte big fish lay. If they had wished,j
i they could have half-filled their canoe
with small trout; but anything under !
'A pound went back into the water
again, and they even began to despise
any fish that did not give a ten min-
nte's light before being landed.
p About a mile and a half below \
camp, however, they came to a dilli- j
cult rapid which had been audible for j
a, long time. Here the water rushed
ithroug'h and over a medley of irreg-
niar boulders, and then, after some
ten rods of smooth, swift current.
/poured down a cataract of several
teei. Huge black rocks, split and
turubied, broke up the cascade, and
the hoarse roar filled the pine woods
with sound.
Even if the first rapid could be
renegotiated, the second certainly was
Impossible. The intervening space
.looked exceedingly promising, how¬
ever, and as there is hardly room
for two fly-rods in a canoe, Walter
landed to fish tram the bauk. Jo«
then dropped down as aud® near as he
to the rapid, 1 >d the
a±m6e to a boulder by aa. -kskin
thong, and began to throw his flies
Into the foamy water just at the foot
of the fall.
Here the shore was less encum¬
bered than usual, the thickets were
farther from the water, and Walter
had reasonable space for his back
cast. There were trout between the
cataracts, as they had guessed. Wal¬
ter was kept busy from his first cast,
and when he had time to glance at
Joe’s proceedings, his brother seemed
to be equally fortunate.
But at one of these hurried glances
hia eye caught something that ap-
ipalled him. The buckskin loop that
lheld the straining canoe seemed to be
do danger of slipping from Its hold on
the rock.
Ha shouted, but the roar of the
water drowned his voice. He hurried
up the bank opposite the canoe. It
was true, the thong was slipping from
Its hold. It is difficult to tie a rope
round a rock with security.
Ha yelled again, but Joe had just
hooked a fish, and his attention was
fully absorbed. At this, Walter took
to throwing stones. He succeeded
iflnally in sending one with a thump
Into the canoe, and Joe looked up.
He caught the direction of his broth¬
er's pointing arm, glanced astern, and
aeerned to grasp the danger like a
Sash.
He dropped his rod and snatched
at the paddle, but it was too late. The
loop slipped free, the canoe shot for-j
ward, and before Joe could dip the
paddle overboard, it whirled broad-
aide on into the rapids.
Instantly it capsized. Joe went out
of sight in the foam and water, and
then Walter saw him floating down
oa the current below the rapid. He
was on his back, with his face just
above water, and he did not move a
j j tempt to swim.
|(» saw that he would have time to
throw but. once more. This cast
; meant his brother's life or death, and
j his nerves grew cool with the enier-
; genc.y. Ife waded a little farther into
the stream, leaning against the cur-
rent to keep his balance,
The line whirled again and shot
out, and again the gut fell across
Joe's shoulders, with the flies in the
on the other side. With the
greatest care Walter drew in the line.
One of the files dragged over the body
as before. The other caught, broke
loose and caught again in Joe’s coat,
near the collar, and then the rod bent
with the sudden strain of 150 pounds
floating downward on the strong cur* :
rent.
Walter was using a steel rod,
er and stronger than any wooden one, ;
but lie feared for bis line. The enr- |
rent pulled hard and he dared not >
exert too much force. Joe’s body ;
swung round, the head up stream, the ,
feet toward the cataract, and the cur- j
rent split and ripped in spray over !
his head.
The lithe rod bent hoop-like, j j
There was a struggle for a moment,
a deadlock between the stream and j
the new force, and then Walter felt j
that he could not hold it. His tackle
would never stand the strain,
With the check on the reel he let
out line, inch by inch, to ease the re-
sistance, and meanwhile he endeav-
ored to swing his brother across the
current and nearer the shore,
He was partly successful. Joe ;
came over, in an arc of a circle, under
the pull of rod and line, but the cur¬
rent pulled harder, and for every
inch he gained thus Walter had to let
out a foot of line.
Yet he thought he was going to
win, and he might have won, but the
slow sidewise motion suddenly
seemed to bring Joe into a swifter
strip of the stream.
There was a stronger tug. A yard
of line went out unintentionally, and
before Walter could check it Joe was
poised at the very head of the fall,
hanging at the end of the taut., vi¬
brating line, while his feet wavered
in the rushing current.
It was the crisis. Walter stopped
the reel and brought the rod back¬
ward, bringing all its stiffness into
play. It seemed minutes, but prob¬
ably It was not two seconds. The
gut cast parted with a loud crack,
and the line snapped back into Wal¬
ter’s face like a whiplash. Joe was
gone like lightning. He had shot
over the fall—but he had gone feet
first!
Walter splashed out of the water
and ran round to the bottom of the
cataract. Joe was there, drifting
round and round in a circular eddy,
and as he caine within a yard of the
shore, Walter dragged him in.
His face was cut, his coat was torn
half off him, and he was unconscious
again—evidently half drowned, if
nothing else. Walter worked over
him for what seemed an intermin¬
able time before he came to himself,
and then he was far too faint and sick
with the knocks he had received and
the amount of water he had swal¬
lowed to he able to walk. His broth¬
er finally had to leave him while he
hurried hack for a couple of the
guides, who presently transported the
unlucky fisherman to camp.
The canoe was found stranded a
mile below in a badly battered con¬
dition. Joe himself was battered al-
most badly. From „ . head . . foot . . . he
as o
was covered with bruises that made
movement Impossible for a couple of
days and unpleasant for a week.
His legs had suffered worst, how-
erer, and they had sated lus luuu.

first he would never have come
alive, so that )\ alter s tackle had held
long enough to save him, after all.

limb.
Walter shouted again, but got no
response. Joe had not been sub¬
merged long enough to he drowned,
but he had evidently been knocked
senseless against the stones.
Then Walter realized the new and
greater danger. Joe was drifting
rapidly head foremost toward the sec¬
ond cataract, and no one could dive
down that fall and live. The rocks
at the bottom of this cascade-would
tbrain the strongest swimmer.
Walter dropped his rod and rushed
Into the water. The strength of the
awirling current came near sweeping
him from his feet. It was clearlv too
deep to wade and he was a poor swim-
mer. He knew well that he could
never reach his brother in time. They
would go over the fall together.
Joe was more than thirty feet from
tihore. Walter thought of a long
pole, and splashed madly ashore
again. He caught sight of his fishing
-rod, with its hundred yards of strong
aad perfect silk line on the reel.
Joe was now about twenty yards
above the cascade, and it seemed to
Walter that he was moving slightly

Strength of Iione.
The effect of food on the strength
of bone in hogs lias lately been
onstrated by experiments at the
braska station, and it was shown that
there is a very marked increase in
the strength of bone when tankage or
ground bone is fed to pigs in addition
to corn. in determining the strength
of bones, the two principal bones in
each leg of each animal were removed
and broken in a machine. There were
four pigs fed in each lot, making the
figures given the average of the
break j n g of thirty-two bones in each
lot. The average breaking strength
per 100 pounds, live weight of hogs
after twenty-two weeks’ feeding was
as follows: Lot 1. corn, 325 pounds;
lot 2, corn and shorts. 306 pounds;
lot 3, corn and skim milk, 509
pounds; lot 4, corn and tankage, 5S0
pounds; lot 5, corn and ground bone,
CS1 pounds.—Weekly Witness.

Exercise For the Bull.
Don’t look upon the bull as an en¬
emy and carry a club or pitchfork
every time you go near him, writes
W. M. Kelly in Farm and Home. His
disposition toward you will be just
what you make it yourself. Treat
Him kindly, but with firmness, He
is sure to remember any kindness,
and surer to remember any meanness
that you may do to him, and will
watch his chance to get even with
you.
Allow him but one service and then
lead him to his stall, and he will soon
learn what is wanted of him, and will
readily take up with the program.
Well managed and properly fed, he
will live to be eight or ten years old
and get good calves. A well cared
for bull instead of being a nuisance
and disgrace will be an object of ad¬
miration and a credit to your herd
and farm.
Crude Oil For Mange and Lice.
Some experiments have been con¬
ducted under the direction of the Bu¬
reau of Animal Industry with a view
to ascertaining the value of crude oil
for removing mange and lice from
cattle. Dipping was found very ef¬
fective, but some loss of animals fol¬
lowed, which was partly accounted
for by the late season at which they
were dipped. The experiment was
conducted iu Colorado, and toward
the approach of winter. It was found
that the insects were not only effect¬
ively removed, but that the animals
carried the disinfectant with them,
and thus they were protected for
some time from any danger of rein¬
fection. In some instances where
the skin was scabby, the larger pro¬
portion of the hair came off, but soon
began to grow again.
By this remedy it is reasonable to
hope that this exceedingly trouble¬
some disease could be removed from
the Western ranges. It is one of the
most disagreeable and costly diseases
that the prairie farmer must contend
with. The treatment of the dipped
animals, however, is sometimes a lit¬
tle over harsh. It may be that it will
be found practicable to so dilute the
preparation that it can be used for
without any danger and still
e Jugt as effective. It is safe to
MW1 however, that crude oil could
be uged w jth great advantage by ap-
lyl it t0 anima i s in the farmers’
yar( j s when these are affected. If ap-
lied wbb a brush or sprayer, just
e h could be put 0 n to effect the
des j red results without using so much
as to cause the hair to fall ouj. This
would, of course, take some experi-
ence to learn how to apply it, but the
fact that it seems to prove an effeet-
ive remedy should commend it to the
attention of our farmers in the East
and South, or any others whose stock
are afflicted with either mange or lice.

Anconas.
The Anconas were first brought to
pjblic notice in the United States in
1S 86 by the late Francis A. Mortimer,
They were often termed a mottled
Minorca. With many that idea still
prevails, but they are not, nor have
they any approach to the Minorca in
size, nor color of shanks, skin. etc.
The Ancona belongs to the Leg-
horn family, and would have been
rightly named "The Mottled Leg-
j born.”
j The only resemblance the Ancona
can produce that would approach the
S Minorca is the size of their eggs aud
Immense production of the same. The
Ancona is in reality below the me¬
dium size of-the average Leghorn.
! They do, however, prove their ability
to lay large sized eggs in proportion
to the size of their “avoirdupois" than
any variety of Leghorn, or even the
Minorca itself, Anconas average
three and one-half to five pounds
each.
They are in color of skin and in
shape the same as the Leghorn, the
description of which the reader is re¬
ferred to. in color the beak should
be yellow, the upper mandible being
striped with more or less black. The
eves are red. Comb and wattles red.
Ear lobes white, free as possible from
a creamy appearance, The shanks
and feet are generally mottled with
brownish to black colored spits, in¬
termixed with yellow. Clean yellow
shanks and feet are preferable.
The plumage is similar to that of
the Houdan, being broken with black
and white or black feathers mottled
with white, or vice versa.
Feathers may also each be solid
white or hlack, in some sections. A
general effect of such coloring may be
realized by a careful examination of
the illustration, No. 32, given here¬
with.
In size the Ancona averages one-
half pound lighter than the average
weights given for Leghorns.
The Ancona youngster is an inter¬
esting little fellow, with breasts and
body coloring intermixed with shades
of white and canary, while the top
of the head is very dark, often black,
from which a dark stripe starts and
extends down its neck and terminates
in a distinct blank stripe running the
length of the back. The tip of the
wings inclined to show' some color
also. Shanks, yellow predominates,
but may be splashed with a darker
color. They breed very true, the
chicks all coining very nearly alike.

Turkeys For Egg Production.
That it is possible to develop a
breed of turkey hens that will lay
eggs from spring until Christmas is
the contention of W. N. Irwin, of the
United States Department of Argieui-
ture. He says that the only reason
this feature of the poultry industry
has not been developed is that farm¬
ers have paid no attention to it. “I
have been eating turkey eggs and tur¬
key for many years,” says Mr. Irwin,
“and have found them better than
any other article of food, The thing
that started me looking into the pos¬
sibilities of the turkey was this liking
for the eggs. For several years I
have been haunting the Central Mar¬
ket of Washington three times a week
and buying up turkey eggs. Most of
the farmers who bring them into town
to sell for food save the eggs for me.
I have bought as many as 145 dozen
in a year, In the spring, of course, I
can not get the eggs, since they are
too valuable to sell for food, So I
have found that the eggs can be kept
very easily all winter, Experience
has shown me that turkey eggs kept
for that length of time by ordinary
means will poach nicely. An egg that
poaches is a good egg. I do not put
the eggs in cold storage, but keep
them cool and dry.
“I believe turkey eggs are as much
superior to ordinary hen’s eggs as is
turkey meat to that of cHickens. It
took 200 years to get white Leghorns
to lay 2 00 eggs a year, and not many
of them come up to that standard
even now. I do not believe it will
take anywhere near that long to de¬
velop 2 00-egg turkeys, for there have
been many changes and advances
since experiments were begun with
Leghorns. Besides, I have found at
least one man near Washington who
has a 200-egg turkey, and dozens who
say they have birds that lay upward
of 100 eggs, Even a 100-egg bird
would be a distinct advantage.
“The time has passed when the
farmer can afford to raise turkeys
for one setting of eggs, The man
who told me he had a 2 00-egg tur¬
key hen killed his bird for the mar-
ket. I told him he killed at least;
$100. and he, of course, did»not real¬
ize it at the time. One gentleman
told me the other day that he has two
turkey hens that have laid upward of
100 eggs this year and are still at it.
He can not get them to stop long
enough to fatten them for Thanks¬
giving. I told him not to think of
fattening them, for they are worth
vastly more to him for breeding pur-
poses. 200-
“At the least calculation a
egg bird should bring $25. If a
farmer raises 100 such birds in a year
his gross income from them would
be $2500 Such a breed of turkeys
can be developed only by patient,
careful selection from year to year.
“This industry must be undertaken
with reasonable conservatism. I be¬
lieve the results are certain, but per¬
sons who go into the work must ex¬
pect to wait patiently for the prom-
ised results. If a farmer had from
fifty to 100 birds that laid upward of
100 eggs a year he would have no
trouble in getting his price for them.
It would not be necessary to wait un¬
til the birds get up to the 2 00-egg
class to make big money out of them
for their laying qualities.
“The Rhode Island experiment sta¬
tion has become interested in the
work. First they started with eggs
from birds that laid upward of 100,
but for some reason the experiment
failed. Now they are working with
some young birds. I would advise
any farmer who thinks of going into
the work to start with young birds
from late broods ”

Poultry Notes.
Protect your poultry from spring
rains.
Sour table scraps are not good for
poultry.
Whole corn is good for laying hens
during cold weather.
Hens do better if kept in separate
lots of twenty-five each.
Give the laying liens fresh water
slightly warmed .three times a day
during cold weather.
Large breeds should never be kept
in the same flock with small breeds.
Table scraps should be cooked aud
given to the laying hens.
When hens acquire the feather¬
pulling habit they should be sent to
market at once.
Feed the laying hens at daybreak
and sundown, and keep them work¬
ing the entire time between.
Roosts for poultry should be placed
on a level, so that there can be no
preferred positions.
Lice always attack poultry more
when they are in an unthrifty condi¬
tion than when they are well fed and
properly cared for.
If hens are confined to the poultry
house on cold days, see to it that they
do not have to stand on the bare
floor. Use straw, cornstalks, corn
husks or other dry material for a
floor covering. Hens with cold feet
will not lay very many eggs.
Although turkeys will eat snow
they should not be permitted to do
so, but should be given plenty of
fresh, clean water.
When raising turkeys for market
medium sized ones will be found bet¬
ter than extra large ones.
Save a few of the old turkey hens,
as the two-year-old is a better breeder
than the young hen.
Turkeys should not be housed with
chickens, as they require different
conditions.
A Trio of African Geese.
African geese are popular with
many who keep geese for the market.
They are large enough and are good
layers. They are hardy and will
thrive where other breeds will die.
In a way they resemble the Toulouse
goose, their distinguishing feature
being a kind of horn just over the
upper part of the beak. They are, as
l-
( a
j
ft 1 ^ w 1 -.
v A' iSS? u*'. i M •S- .li
a rule, more sprightly than the Tou¬
louse, and are considered better lay¬
ers.
All gray colored geese are consid¬
ered favorites for the table, and this,
in a measure, is why the African geese
are preferred to the white or dark
colored breeds. They are being bred
more generally each season, which in
itself proves that they have merit.
Alfalfa Meal For Poultry.
W T e find that, as a rule, our hens
fed on alfalfa meal lay very fertile
eggs, which produce strong, vigorous
and healthy chicks. We also find
that they will moult quicker in the
fall and commence to lay earlier in
the season. For laying hens we put
several quarts of alfalfa meal into a
closed vessel, then pour boiling water
over the meal until it is thoroughly
moistened; place a cover over the
vessel and let the mixture steep for
a while.
Just before the feeding dash a little
cold water over the feed. This brings
out .the green color, and the whole
presents a very pleasing appearance
and is as near grass as any feed can
be. Some prefer to mix the meal
with table scraps or grain, both of
which add palatability and variety
to the mash. Bone meal and meat
scraps make excellent additions to
alfalfa or clover meal, both of which
are concentrated feeds and great egg
producers.—A. L. C., Iowa Agricul¬
tural College.
Keeping Egg Record.
For keeping account of eggs re¬
ceived I hang a calendar with a white
background near the door of my
poultry house, so that on returning
from a visit to the hens the number
of eggs may be marked each day with
the pencil attached. In this manner
a daily, weekly and monthly account
is kept, and I know what the average
is per hen for any length of time.
From this it is easy to calculate how
hens pay. It takes only a few sec¬
onds a day for the record.
Skim-Milk For Plumage.
Nothing will give a better gloss to
the plumage of exhibition birds than
sweet skim-milk. When milk is plen¬
tiful it should be used to mix the
mash instead of water.
For the evening meal, a good feed
of whole grain; more corn in winter
than in summer. The corn may be
given them on the cob, as they are
less apt to eat more than they really
need if fed thus.

CEMENT TRUST IMPOSSIBLE.
..Geological Survey Says Every
County in Country Can Make It.
A bulletin issued by the geological
survey on the "Concentration of Ce¬
ment Interests" declares “it can be
said that there is noticeable a cer¬
tain concentration of interests in the
cement industry, and that this will
probably become more marked year
by year. The eighty-eight plants in
existence in 1905 are owned by sev¬
enty-eight companies, and several of
these nominally independent compan¬
ies are closely connected in owner¬
ship.
“The nature of the cement industry
renders it improbable that any com¬
bination or noncompetitive arrange¬
ment can be carried to such a point
as to result in a monopoly of the in¬
dustry and permanently high prices.
“Good raw materials are so widely
distributed in the United States that
there is hardly a county which could
not produce Portland cement If prico3
were forced high enough. The only
limitation now on the erection of ce¬
ment plants is the fact that the great
cost makes the ventures prohibitive
for the individual or for the small
firm.”

SURPRISED HIM
Doctor’s Test of Food.
A doctor in Kansas experimented
with his boy in a test of food, and
gives the particulars. He says:
“I naturally watch the effect of
"different foods on patients. My own
little son, a lad of four, had been ill
with pneumonia, aud during his con¬
valescence did not seem to care for
any kind of food.
“I knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavour and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so I started
the boy on Grape-Nuts and found
fre^n the first dish that he liked it-
’His mother gave it to him stead¬
ily, and he began to improve at orice.
In less than a month he had gained
