EDGE, SEAFORTH, ONT. it luckily failed- to materialize, and he excused himself -by ,saying that for sonic reason the storm got veered away from its- proper route. Farm- ers have been reported as plowing near Beaudette, Northern Minnesota. It is not a favorable season by any means for logging operations. For this they need frozen ground and a reasonable quantity of snow. The deer hunting season expires midnight. December 5th. Apparently. hunters have not been as successful. as in former seasons; not- much snow for tracking purposes, and as the season for hunting partridge. com- menced earlier, the deer had been ,frightened by the shooting at this game and had- retired further back into the timbered districts. Owing to the ground and swamps not being frozen over, it is that much harder to transport moose and deer carcass- es across or through the woods, and many of the former cannot be moved until much colder weather arrives, if at all. I see -by reports some 60,000 or more deer hunting licenses had been issued this season for Northern Minnesota. Of course, many deer and some moose have been brought into this city alone and .many more coming. Hunters, for safety's sake, are supposed to wear red caps, red sweaters or red coats in order not to be mistaken for deer by careless and reckless hunters.- One who fail- ed to follow these- precautions this season had a rather thrilling experi- ence. As be was hunting, a bullet whizzed past him and a shot rang out. He shouted, but another bullet sang its requiem -of death close to his ear. He threw himself on 'the ;roun • more bu Ilct s whizzed I. r c a our d his prostrate form, throwing sprays of snow over him. In desperation_he seized his rifle and commenced firing in the direction. of the would-be man - killer. The latter ceased firing but failed to show up to apologize. Two • friends of mine went hunting this season about eight Miles from Drummond, Minn. One of them had a harrowing experience he will not forget for some time. He separated from his companion, lost his bearings and got lost and for thirty-six hours saw no one. He was -without food; his matches got wet. A searching expedition was organized, but other hunters .carne across him just as he was almost all in. He admits he could not have stood it much longer with the cold, wet and hunger. His companion also had...poor luck, but in much milder form. He went to fire at a deer at close range but his rifle was out -of order and would not work. In chagrin he ,:also came back, to Duluth without any game. Never again, he says, will he go hunting until sure his rifle is 'b.k., and the lost hunter avers, never the woods again for him without a compass.. On November 16th", in the fore- noon, three bandits entered the Su- . • perior State Bank of Superior, Wis., made the cashier and two lady em- ployees lie on the floor, face down- ward, one bandit standing_ over then with drawn revolver. Two. custom- ers corning in were made to follow suit. The bank was looted out of $7,1.25 cash; and the bandits escaped. A fourth `bandit was waiting nearby with an auto. Half an hour later they would have 'got $5,000 more, as a messenger was on his way with that amount for. this bank. It is . a small bank, but at times forty and fifty thousand dollars ih cash are on hand. The three bandits that robbed this bank were arrested in company with three women and two men at Omaha; Neb. The Omaha police claim they were planning the robbery of five local Were, in that locality. The three bandits, who robbed the Su- perior State Bank, were indentified by its cashier and lady stenographer at ()Inaba, and they were brought back to . Superior, handcuffed, shack', ped and under heavy guard. One 'lay `fast week . at 10 a,m., a man entered the -Hendricksen jewelry store, 321 West First Street, Duluth, and engaged the attention of the pro- prietor, by looking over some uncut diamonds with a supposed view to purchase. About ten minutes later a second man entered and took up the attention' of -the watch salesman. An- other clerk Ieft the store ternporily to go across the street and as he did so the would-be purchaser of the un- cut- diamonds threw ammonia in the proprietor's face, and as the latter, almost blinded, and staggering, tried to go over to the clerk engaged in` the supposed watch sale. He was beaten repeatedly over the head with a revolver till he fell groaning and unconscious. The watch salesman was also beaten over. the head and rendered insensible. With a tray of smut .diamonds and drawn revolvers, the two holdup men walked- out the front door, meeting the returning clerk, sped to 4th Avenue West, then up this Avenue a block and a 'half, then east into the alley between Sec- ond and Third streets, where all trace of them was lost, though pursuit was given, and up to this time have not been captured. They got away with considerably = over $2,000 of uncut diamonds. It was a daring daylight robbery, and perpetrated right in the centre of the business section of First Street. The proprietor was taken to the hospital, suffering from ainmonia burns and wounds. • I was informed he will probably lose the sight : of one eye. It was a dastardly crime, and it- is to be hoped the wretches will be caught. It is not often the humble mule comes• in for such conspicuous prom- inence as did one recently, belonging to the Duluth Van Storage Company, of this city. As it was being driven along with its mate. drawing a light wagon, one of its hind feet struck the cover • of a manhole on Third Avenue West, ,close to the alley be- tween Superior and First Streets, the clover slid, the mule's leg followed by its tail and other hind leg and the rest of the body, slid down into the opening, the top of the head being about 'on a level with the top of. the manhole, the- unfortunate animal braying furiously and lamentably at times. Thee driver in his; -excitement rang up- the fire department and the fire fighters were on 'the scene in quick orde t the` job was not in their line an they could do nothing brit express sympathy. All manner of suggestions were offered .to get the unfortunate animal out of its awful predicament, and at last the power- ful lifting crane of the street car company was brought into requisi- tion and soon the mule was hoisted to the surface from its uncomfortable position. Seemingly by the crowd thousands must have visited the scene .during the exciting period. The East Fourth, Ninth and Kenwood street cars coming down the hill were delayed about an hour as the main - hole was close to the west track. The unfortunate victim, the cause of all of this, was taken to its owner's stable where it was given the best of treat- ment and care, but this proved un- availing and in less than forty-eight hours the mule gave up its fight for life and died. - Thanksgiving Day was Thursday, November 25th, and services were held in many of the churches. I had three invitations to thanksgiving din- ners, accepting the- first proffered, being from Mr. and Mrs. James Bur- geon. I first became acquainted with Mr. Burgeon in November, .1882, at Fort 'Francis, Ont. Later on that year, we moved into camp in the Rainy Lake District, where I con- tracted inflammatory rheumatism and was rendered completely helpless for a time in its worst stage and when I was unable to raise my hands to pry face. Mr. Burgeon, though ' an Tutsider and a complete stranger to me but a few weeks before, became to me a ministering angel. He fed me, washed niy face, assisted nne out of the bunk and otherwise in many.. ways. At a time when I was deliri- ous and the winter weather very cold, he sat up three night in succession and kept the wood fire burning, only catching occasional snatches of sleep, and remember he was working hard in the woods nearby during the day time. There was no doctor within 200 miles s a nd did . I nOt see a white - woman during all the time in camp. Sometimes Chippewa Indians or -Squaws would call on us. In the spring of 1883, we left Rainy Lakes down to Fort Francis, down through Rainy River and the Lake of the Woods to Rat Porta •e, now Ken - ora, Ont., and later onto Winnipeg, where later on in the summer we parted, but again met in _ November, 1888, at Superior, Wis., and since, w which time we have meet constantly' in Duluth. t On Thanksgiving Day we rehearsed many of the incidents of the long ago and had many a hearty laugh„ . a but over many of them no laugh was- f forthcoming; they were too said and 1 seri l and enjoyable time well spent, I bade- .. TRACT�RING ON FARMS A Survey of the Tractor Situa- tion in Ontario. t Many Uses of the Machine on the Faris -- Ploughing, Hauling and General Belt Work •-- Speed a Great Fctor In its Use. (Contributed by Ontario Departmeint of Agriculture, Toronto.) IN order to secure as complete authentic information as possible concerning the tractor situation in the Province, Messrs. P. 0. Connon and J, A. Steele of the On- tario Agricultural College, under the direction of the ,Physics Department of the College, prepared a question- naire which was replied to by over one hundred tractor owners in Ontario. As far as possible, all phases of the tractor situation were covered in this questidnnaiare in order to determine with the greatest possible accuracy information re the future place of the tractor relative to other means of securing power for the farm. The following information backed by the statements of over ono hundred farmers owning and operat- ing tractor* will possibly be of Inter- est both ' to .those owners and to others who are contemplating tht supplementing, (not replacing) of hors© power with tractor power. The chief advantages of the tractor as a power machine would appear to be Iisted in order of importance as follows: Speed, belt work, work done at the proper time (especially ploughing), labor saving, hot weath- er worker, economy, improved work. The quickness with which Work can be accomplished with the`' aid of a tractor has possibly been given the premier ' place of importance on the above list, due to the necessity of speeding up production during the past five years. This condition is likely to obtain for some years to • come until the returning sanity of the nations of the world results in a re- turning to the principle of seekitig happiness from producing and liv rather than gaining and existing. The saving of hauling costs and the "convenience" of the tractor as a source .of power for grinding And silo filling seems to have appealed strong- ly to a large number. Had the significance of 'the third mentioned item on the list been bet- ter understood, especially on farms ,where the land is heavy and difficult to work, it would no doubt .have headed the list. Too much tress can- not be laid on this feature of the use- fulness of the tractor. Condition of the soil with respect to tilth is the first and foremost .problem to be looked after when greater productidn. is the aim and object of the agri- culturist. Had the number of men on the farm been equal to the task, there is little doubt but thatithe tractor would still be considere,'d mainly as a luxury to be possessed only by .those who had made good on the farm, and not by those who arae us- ing it as a means of making good. The fact of his always being "behind with the work" has driven many a man to buy a tractor in order to feel for once in the Last live years that he has caught up with the work, and can have an hour to discuss with his neighbor the latest information rela- tive to farm or city conditions. Many men have procured tractors exclusively for the belt work which they are able to do with it. These, combining their own work with some custom work, have made the tractor a paying proposition. The fact of having work done at the proper time, including early fall ploughing, and getting the crop in during the short avaira.ble time in the spring is perhaps the most important feature in tractor efficiency. It takes the peak load off the horses and per- mits the farrier to get rid of the horses which are kept for this purpose. In the majority of cases where tractors are used, it results in a de- crease of man labor. There is a wide difference, however, in the estimate made by various ,individuals as to the saving in man power; and ranges ' in extent from "snaking it easier" to - a "man's yearly wages." As a hot weather worker the tractor has no rival. Thousands of horses were ruin- ed last year due to the effect of heat. The tractor works on regardless of the temperature, and it is, on this account, even more in favor during the hot spring and early ,fall seasons. As far as economy in tractor oper- ation is concerned, there are few farmers who keep accurate records in connection with, operating costs, and it is. therefore very difficult to give definite information in this re- spect. In only six .cases out of one hundred is there any definite state- ment Imide that they tractor is not a profitable investment. In cases where the tractor is han- dled by experts it is an accepted fact that the land where the .tractor'"has been used i i - d s nes better state of filth than where horse- power is used. This Is mainly or entirely due to the fact ,that the ground is covered oftener in tillage operations since the extra speed of the tractor makes this possible. The next few years may see either a marked increase or decrease in the number of tractors sold in Ontario. There will no doubt .be a tendency to standardize the make of machines - hich are to hold their place on the Ontario farm. Better design of parts 1 o give greater efficiency and greater I tec cessibility will be necessary if the tractor is going -to hold its place as n efficient labor-saving.devjce on the arni,-W.
