LANDING A Hit; FISH.
AN EXCITING ENCOUNTER WITH A
LIVELY MUSKELLUNGE.
for fa! It- Aftfr itic Fifty-four
Puiiuiler llad Been Hooked It Wai
it Question Whether the Kl»b or
the Boat Would Be Captured.
It was my good fortune in company
with an eastern dry goods salesman to
visit the lakes of northern Wisconsin
on a Ashing trip.
After procuring all the maps and In
formation we could hud, we decided to
goto a certain region which we will
call X.
We had two weeks for the trip; but,
after spending the greater part of the
first week In visiting different lakes,
tus began to think we should have to
return without the big fish we started
after.
The last lake we camped on proved
to be an excellent one for wall eyed
pike and el lunge.
"Well. John." said my companlou,
whose name was Frank Smith, "we've
Deen traveling and fishing almost
every day since we started, and what
do you say to staying around camp to
morrow and spending the day ln rest
ing up?"
"All right," I replied. "I'll catch a
few fish for breakfast; so wake me ear
ly, and we won't fish for the rest of the
day."
When I awoke next morning, I look
ed at my watch and found that it was
but a quarter after "• and Frank was
sound asleep.
I quietly dressed and went down to
the boat. There were Indications of an
approaching storm, and quite a sea
was running, which made It difficult
for me to manage the boat and trolling
line. Placing a ballast In the fore part
of the boat. 1 started to cross the lake,
but had gone only a few rods when I
felt a sudden Jerk on my line. Then
an unsually large fish leaped above the
water about fifty feet from my boat.
I had hooked a inuskellunge. I stop
ped rowing and tried to pull him in,
but, alas, he would not come. Think
ing that It would be useless to try
more, 1 gave my fish more line and
rowed for deeper water.
After racing him about for fifteeu or
twenty minutes, 1 succeeded In getting
my game alongside the boat. Surely, I
thought, he must be played out by this
time. Taking a firm hold of the line, I
tried to lift him into the boat, when
there was a quick pull on the line, and,
losing my balance, I fell overboard.
I soon reappeared and saw that my
boat was at least thirty feet from me.
In an upright position, and was under
motion.
Was It drifting, or was it that the
inongfrous tish had It in tow? These
thoughts flashed through my mind, and
I soon realized that I was being left be
hind. I had fastened my line to the In
side of the boat, making It easier to
handle the boat.
The distance between me and the
boat began to widen, and, as 1 was at
least three-fourths of a mile from
shore, my only hope seemed to be in
reaching the boat, which I Immediate
ly started after.l had begun a rac«
for life. The boat would stop and then
suddenly go forward. Once I almost
reached it. only to see it move away
Would I ever reach it?
I had l>een swimming some fifteen 01
twenty minutes, which seemed as
many hours, and I began to lose liopt
of ever reaching the boat or Slbt,
when 1 called to Frank, who. pflndlug
was fast asleep in the tent- remaining
this would exhaustr on my back
strength. 1 turne«*st. When 1 again
aud floated f«nmlng position, I was
assumed " hnd the boat quite near.
surpr l,v moments it was within my
lull, and after several unsuccessful
attempts I succeeded In getting Inside
A strong pull 011 the line, which was
still fast to the boat, convinced me that
It would be useless to try to bring tlit
fish inside the boat. 1 looked for my
gaff hook, but It was nowhere to be
seen. I then rowed in the direction of
camp. Again calling Frank, be soon
appeared from the tent. He must have
been dressing, for he had neither hat,
coat nor shoes on.
"Throw out the gaff! Throw out the
gaff!" 1 cried at the top of my voice.
He understood, and was soon back
from the tent with the hook.
By a well directed throw the hook
landed but a short distance from my
boat, and, its wooden handle prevent
ing It from sinking, it was soon In my
possession.
1 was now sure of landing my tish.
Drawing him alongside the boat. 1
reached over the gunwhale and hooked
him.
Zip! The haudle went through my
Angers, and the line In my other hand
snapped In two.
The muskellunge now had the gafl
hook and a short piece of line and a
No. 10 spoon.
lost all until I heara Frank's voice
from shore?
"The gaff! Don't you see the gaff?"
I beard him say, and. looking In his
. direction, 1 saw the wooden handle
dancing on the waves iibout three rods
from the boat.
"Hurrah!" 1 cried, as 112 rowed In the
direction of the gaff.
My antagonist was played out, ant!
all I had to do was to lift him into the
boat.
t rank took a photograph of the mus
kellunge soon ufter we finished eating
dinner. An enlarged phot raph lias
a conspicuous place In my liedroom,
where my eyes, on awakening, can !>«-
hold the fish that gave me the tight of
my life. He tipped the scales at tifty
four and a half pounds.
We broke camp next morning and re
turned home to resume the arduous
duties of selllng dry goods.—Field and

Fashions are easily swayed by the

good thing If the widespread interest
aroused by Dr. Koch's theory about tu
berculosis has the effect of shortening
our outdoor skirts. Fndoubtedly train

many disadvantages, and.even allow

What to Do.
There is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the iiight. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect cf Swamp-Root is coon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing case:.

It is said that timothy of good qua!

ty-five pounds. (!<>od clover has two
pounds in twenty, or nvo and one-half

barley straw i- better than timothy for
feeding t*. sheep, btit he probably
means l>ar'.-y cut, as all grains should
be while yet in the "dough," or soft
enough to lie crushed up between the
thumb and linger. We do not put a
very high value on straw, corn stover
or ha\ of anv kind that lias been al
lowed to stand until the seed is fully
ripe before it i> cut. Chemists may tell
lis ihat only the water has dried out
of It. but tin- natural Juice of a plant
is not the same thing as ihe water from
tin- well or brook. We never saw the
chemist who could make a slice of
good apple or peach by adding water
to tin- evaporated fruit, although we
own that the fruit dried quickly in the
evaporator does not undergo the same
change as it used to under the old proc
ess of drying in the sun. And dried
beef will not m.'ike a good beefsteak
by soaking it in water.

There will probably be a shortage of
hogs next year, resulting from a short
age of feed, says Farm and Ranch.
Prices are and have been good for
some time, but next year must be much
better, because of the scarcity. Produc
tion waits upon feed, and scarcity of
feed has compelled swine growers to
reduce their stock. lie is fortunate who
has enough ingenuity to pull through
without reducing. No doubt this can be
done in many cases where It is not
done. There will be money In hogs next
year or we are no prophet.

Cider barreled and kept bunged may
be racked off and bottled, corking

HANDY FARM DERRICK. j
A thenp Contrivance For nnndllos
barrels and Sacks of Produce.
A simple and cheaply constructed
boom derrick arranged as illustrated
will he found of much service by a
great many farmers, and the time and
labor that will be saved by its use will
more than equal that required to make
It, says au Ohio Farmer writer. When
boves, barrels or sacks of produce are
stored ill a basement, one man without
some mechanical assistance of this
kind will lie unable to lift th -m from
the cellar way and load on a wagon
conveniently, and even if several men
engage in the work they cannot remove
and load the articles as easily and
speedily without the derrick as they
can by its help. A derrick made in the

same way and supported as best suits
the case on hand will often be useful
for other purposes, such as getting out
stone, loading ice. etc.
For the derrick post usp a piece of
stout timber riot less than I by -1 inches
square, or a round polo if preferable.
The length of this pole will be govern
ed somewhat by the length of the boom
and by the situation of the derrick.
For the boom use a round or square
piece of light but strong wood 10 to l.">
feet long. Insert a heavy iron pin in
the top aud the foot of tin* post and
put on iron bands. Hinge one end of
the boom with iron straps and bolt it
to the post about live feet from the bot
tom, and on the other end put a band
with eyes oi hoops, as is shown in the
partial illustration of the derrick.
If the post is round instead of square,
as pictured, the boom may lie attached
by using a band on the post and the
iron device on the boom, like those
shown in ohe corner of the same illus
tration, both of which may be made
from a heavy wagon tire and fastened
in place by bolts in tin holes tuaile for
this purpose.
The top of the post and the of
the boom are connected by a rope aud
a pair of single pulley.-: ~r, I rter, by a
double block tackle
The lower pin of the derrick post re
volves in a wooden block having an
Iron socket or a heavy stone with a
hole drilled to receive it.and the top
pin is hold by a strong projecting wood
or iron cleat or one of the building
timbers.
The part of the post above the point
at which the boom is hinged should
be as long as the boom. r»o as not to
have the tackle work with too great
loss of power.
When the boom is elevated to a horl-:
zontal position, the article beimr lifted
will be about the right height for load
ing on n wagon, and the end of the
boom may by means of the revolving
post he swung round to the point de

Some farmers expect almost too much
of -sheep. They turn them out In the
summer on a pasture of muilens and
thistles and expect them In the fall to
yield good mutton and wool, says (J. T.
Plumb In Prairie Farmer. Sheep will
do their share in Increasing the proFts
of the farmer, but they demand In re
turn some little intelligent care and at
tention. The mutton breeds require
better attention probably than the wool
in wimiint i.for their diet must largely
■lett ruiliie the actual weight and qual
ity of i mutton If tin ydo not get
irood !'!"*' i:«-. they cannot produce eood

fat aml boue to increase tlielr weight

much care and worry for the corn and
wheat crop. Have the sheep good pas

In this -cries of QU«-V:MI;S are embod

swer. If he can gi - e ..ii affirmative
reply, he need not worrt more about
the sheep. They will take care of the
protits
The pasture field for sheep should be
cultivated and handled v .ih about as
much care as the grasstield intended
for dairy cows. On a sheep farm or
wherever many sheep are kept let good
gra«s be the first consideration, aud
then In their order lei corn, wheat, rye
and oats follow But we need first to
get a good grass farm, where pasture
can always be depended upon for the
sheep or dairy cows, tlrass has done
more to enrich farmers and cattle and
sheep owners than any other crop.
The liumpnliire Sheep.
My knowledge of the Hampshire as a
range sheep and as a feeder In the feed
lots comes from an actual experience,
and therefore what I write is not at all
theoretical, says.l (J. Massey In Amer
ican Sheep Breeder. My experience In
breeding for crosses on range ewes haa
led ire to believe the Hampshire crosa
to be the best of all down sheep For a
sire I prefer a well grown ram lamb. I
fliul him very prolific and quicker In
action and service than an older ram.
By all means feed your ram before,
during and after service. Keep him
growing and vigorous. Use at least
three rams to the hundred ewes. The
strong point claimed for the Hampshire
cross on any range ewe above all other
breeds is mutton. He crosses well on
any class of ewe and produces a lamb
of rapid early maturing qualities and
great vigor at birth, ordinary cold and
stormy weather not affecting him ID
the least.
