Marie, Mich.--Old legends, handed down at the council tire from father to son, apparently were borne out here. After a three-day. search, in which many holes were cut through the 24-inch ice of Lake Huron, the hull of an ancient vessel was found on the bottom off Birch island., where aboriginal tales Ions had maintained~ I-e Griffon, first sailing boat on the... Great Lalfes, would be found. The little ship was constructed in - the winter of 1078-79 • by ltene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, who. set sail in it in Mfry of 1G79 on the first leg of his fatuous journey of exploration to the country of the Illinois. " l.a Salle Iiitnself, however, lefCWie boat, which was built at the mouth of Cayuga -creek on the Niagarariver, «t Green Bay, Wis. There, goaded by the thought of his debt to his couiitrytuen at Fort Vrontensfc, he determined to load the vessel with furs and send theiii b&ck In payment. . ,.'.V - ' '• Twelve thousand poundsof - ikins were put aboard the little"-ship: and she started fcaek with ii crew of fl,ve sailors, the captain and a supercargo. , La Salle ordered the boat to stop on the way at Michtliluackinao. It never reached there nor was heard from again. Indian legends, however, said «the vessel sank in a storm off Birch Island in Les Che^peaus group, near what,Is now Hessel, Mich. This winter Mike Onogwln, Chippewa Indian, succeeded in interesting the chamber of commerce of Hessel -in a search for the boat despite the fact that a Canadian commission in 1!>:*> declared51 a wreck at Manitonlin. island to be the long missing Le Griffon. At first it was planned to hire a diver, but because of the expense and difliculty of diving through tiie. heavy ice. it was decided to make the search without one. Oliver Bilge, a lifelong resident of Les Cheueaux isl:iiuK« and the Indian succeeded in locating an ancient hull at the approximate legendary spot. After the .discovery- ft was decided to wait for warmer weather so that a diver may search the hull for further Identifying marks. It is hoped a name plate may be found'or'that, a-' brass cannon may be discovered of the type "Le Griffon" was known to have carried. FACD SB HARD WORK WAY TO TAME UNRULY BULL All Viciousness Eliminated*® : c in Short Order. Houaea With Copper Wall* . Bungalows with copper walls are constructed In Germany, because copper is rust-proof and requires no protective coat of paint. By FRED M. H A to. dairyman North Carolina State . College,--WNU Service. Bulls kept in smalj pens or stalls soon become vicious and unruly , and; do not stay in the best breeding con dition. Neither is it wise to keep the animals in the pasture with the cows. Usually they become actually .dangerous. • At Vanceboro the other day, however, I found a uian who had solved the problem of MndTing an unruly bull to gtH»d advantage. This farmer owed a bull that , was gtnting more vicious each day. Finally, when the owner's patience had aboijt become v\havlst(Ml and he wus ready to sell • the aniuirtl for nient. he decided to make a yoke and put the bull to; work-, After about two weeks of training, the bull was well broken and now works every dny. The owner said he had even used the animal in logging and that he was stronger than any tnyle on the farm. After a few . weeks of hard work, the bull lost all signs of viciousrtess. This man not only kept a valuable animal but also got an extra dividend from the labor performed. The bull got plenty of exercise, as he was placed in the pasture each night. It is essential In these days of low farm profits that only sires from, high producing cows should he'used.. Sometimes .'such sires get mean before the owner knows the record of the daugh ter cows, and it often happens that a valuable bull is sold .for beef before his true value has become known. No hull should he sent to the butcher just because he is hard to manage. Work oui some suitable plan for controlling him. Give him plenty of exercise and green* gniss aiid study a system of management which will correct any tender#y to viciousness. l>o not keep a scrub bull .becausehe is gentle and don't kill a good, purebred bull because he Is mean. MUST FEED GEESE GRAIN, ROUGHAGE Birds Demand Right Care to Produce Best Eggs. To obtain/the best hatching resjlts. breeding geese must be fed regularly in the winter. At the same time car^-- must be taken not to overfeed. While good condition is desirable at the beginning of the breeding season, poor fertility and poor iiatchability will re* suit if geese are too fat, asserts k I writer in Successful Farming. The principal feeds required bf-. geese are grain; and roughage In sothe form. Of the grains, oats are by faj> the best for breeding geese „ because they are 'riot too fattening. Such fattening grains as corn, wheat, or barley may be fed in limited quantities," when :Suppleniei)ted with other grains.- The geese should be fed all the grain they will clean up In 30 minutes at each feed twice a day dumig-the winter. "• Some form of roiighagt; Is necessat^jt to make up" the bulk of the feed. Any kind of vegetables, clover, alfalfa hay, or isilnge may be used as roughage for breeding geese. If silage is not moldy and does not contain too much corn, It Is excellent roughage for goose. If fed properly, geese will begin laying at such a time that the first goslings hatched will have good pasture. To encourage egg production add a good laying mash to the regular feed 9 month or more before. It Is.-desired to have the geese l»egin laying. This mash should be mixed with skim milk or buttermilk and fed with the roughage in the morning. While grit and oyster shelj may be supplied at all times to ^advantage. It is-especially necessary that these materials, he kept before the geese during the breeding Season* > Clerk Gets County Po«t, Removed in Half an Hour • Seattle.--The shortest term of otlice iu the history of King county was the record claimed^by Fred K. I'lielps. For thirty minutes he was county treasurer, succeeding George G. Wittentnyer, who is sought on a grand "larceny charge growing out of an apparent shortage of $31,816 In tat collections. i The name of Phelps, chief accountant in the county auditor's office, was suggested by state examiners who were going over the .treasurer's books. He was approved ofilcially' by two of the three county commissioners, Ixmis Nash and Wilmer B. Brinton. A messenger found him seated on his high stool. When he went before the board he blinked In amazement as the post was offered to him, and stammered his acceptance. But In a few minutes John C. Stevenson, chairman of the board, arrived with objections. The board was reconvened, the appointment was rescinded and a former banker was chosen. Phelps, his half hour of glory past, went back to the high stool and donned his eyeshade. Mother and Daughter Tour World on Burros San Francisco. -- A mother and daughter, who shun the speed and luxury of ordinary methods of travel, are starting a trip around the world with a pack train of four burros for transportation and the skv for a roof. They are Mrs. W. 11. Ilorman, thirtytwo, and Katherine, fifteen, of Berkeley, Calif. Born on' a Texas ranch, both know how to make burros behave. The.v expect to make expenses selling pictures of themselves and save enough to cross the ocean to Europe on a freighter."

Prof. Arthur Zaicsek and Dr. Stefan Weiser, explained at the conclusion of a series of recent experiments. Animals fed on rye and wheat, respectively, showed markedly different reaction. Those getting wheat put on more weight, hut those Hying on a rye diet became vigorous and active. Further vxa.minatlon showed that the rye diet stimulated the sex gland of the animals, both male and female. In old specimens, a marked rejuvenation effect was noticeable. The two scholars declared that, in order to explain these effects, the existence of a new vitamin must be assumed. Further research will be made to detect the nature of this new substance. Meanwhile Professor Zaicsek and IH>etor Weiser advised breeders to Include more rye' in the diet of their cattle. Visualize Better Cows, First Step to Success If you expect to build a house you begin by making a mental picture of the kind of house you want. 'Similarly, if you are going to build a high producing herd of dairy cows you should begin by forming a mental picture of how you expect to accomplish that task. One Is ndt likely to sue ceed very well at any undertaking unless one first visuall7.es the completed job as well as the intermediate steps required to bring it to completion. Here is a statement, which with variations has been made thousands of times by different people: Starting with a herd of ten common cows, the man who uses good purebred bulls and selects the best heifers to keep, can in five years be producing as much milk and butterfat with ten cows as his neighbor is producing with fifteen ordinary cows. This and similar statements have not only been repeatedly made, but they have also been proved true In practice. We all know that It can be done, because it has been done by thousands of farmers. Furthermore, It can be done without the expenditure of a lot of money.--Wisconsin Agriculturist. . "Poor Quality" Losses Poor quality causes mUcli loss (or a lower price, which amounts to the samo, thing) of milk and cream in summer. The words "poor quality" cover a multitude of sins. One of the big ones is sour milk or cream, and another is bad flavor. Losses due to poor quality can be stopped In this way: As soon as the milk is drawn, put it through a strainer equipped with good cotton filter disk; cool the milk Immediately to check the growth of bacteria; keep the milk below M) degrees Fahrenheit until It goes to market. If you are selling cream or making butter sep: arate the milk before cooling.--Farm Journal. . U. S. Grant at West Point Ulysses S. Grant, the Ohio general whose whole career hinged on his West Point training, was accorded the fdror of attending that institution by cltao ce (the dismissal of another young Ohloan), and accepted reluctantly (through his father's persistence), as he himself confessed. Meat Speraely Settled Stele Nevada Is the most sparsely settled Hate In the Uaioo. Guard Against Bloating ' Bloating of dairy cows on pasture Is, and apparently always will be, a serious problem in herd management wherever legumes are used as pas tures. This is perhaps more particu larly true when the legume is alfalfa. At the Dominion experimental sta tion. Sui^merland, British Columbia, alfalfa Is^f?ed as a base In all pas tures, and in spite of the best of care being taken, considerable trouble arises from bloat. It is possibly more severe at that particular period when the tirst crop of alfalfa would be ap preaching the blossoming period; .

The average for S."> cows In^ the herd was 11'.-ViL' pounds of 3;r> per cent milk and 433.8 pounds of fat. Fifty-one of the cows produced more than 400 pounds of fat. The best cow produced 24.000 pounds of milk "and iHfci.l! pounds of fat. Fiftythree of the cows were milked three times dally and HO twice daily, according to the Prairie Farmer.

Red Mites Tfoublesome; Disinfectant Given 0. K. Of all the many varieties of vermin that infest fowl, red mites are the most troublesome. One of the very best disinfectants recommended, by the Dominion poultry division, fo use against mites is made as follow#:' Dissolve one pound and a half of concentrated lye In as small a quantity of water as possiTrtt. (It will be necessary to do this two or three hours before the lye Is required, as It should be cold when used.) Put three quarts of raw linseed oil Into a five-gallon stone crock and pour In the, lye very slowly, stirring meanwhile. Keep on stirring until a smooth liquid soap Is produced, then gradually add two gallons of crpde carbolic acid or com merclal creosol, stirring constantly until the resulting fluid Is a dark brown. Use two or three tablespoonfuls of the mixture to a gallon of water. The disinfectant may be applied with a handspray pump, or, If such Is not available, a brush will do. but In either case the fluid should be used liberally after the house and roosts have been thoroughly cleaned out, Hooding every crack and crevice.--Montreal Herald. .• Irene Castle McLaughlin, once famous dnncer, spending the winter at Palm Beach.

' TAXPAYERS ATTENTION 1 Homemade Chicken Hook One of the handiest tools Is a chicken hook made by the man of the house. This contraption Is patterned after a sheep crook, and Is used in similar fashion. It consists of a 42-lnch-length of broomstick to which a piece of heavy smooth wire about 6 Inches long has l»een fastened by wiring -and clinched. About 0 Inches from the business end the wire Is bent and shaped by hand to form a crook of a size to catch and, hold a chicken's leg. This hook pulls out of shape during the struggling of caught birds, but may be quickly reshaped with the fingers after each catch. This enables the chicken catcher to work very quickly and with very little fright among the remainder of flock.
