A GOOD STORY ANYHOW Minneapolis Tribune: A hotel clerk who spends but a short vacation hunt ing deer every fall brings back to Minneapolis a strange story that is expected to provide winter evening debate material in the logging camps and trappers' shacks of the Minnesota pine forests. He is Raymond Boyd, clerk at the Hotel Yendome. In this party north of Bena, near the Winnebagosnish res ervation, were Fred Chase of Minne apolis and George Lydick of Cass Lake. Tramping through an open stand of Norway pine last Tuesday Boyd fired at a deer a hundred yards away, his companions said last night. The bullet knocked the animal ,down, but he rose to his feet .and bounded away, only slightly wounded. Boyd followed him at a trot. Whines X4ke Wounded Horse. As he hurdled through the crackling underbrush the buck whined like a horse in pain. Boyd was gaining and his rifle was slung under his arm for a ouir-k shot. Then a gray wolf snarled from a clump of alders and leaped straight at I Boyd. Boyd fired while the volf was 1 15 feet distant, but the space was too short and the volley went a few inches Confidence Some people are naturally doubters and fail to take advantage of an opportunity to save money because of their lack of confidence.

He set out to trail the wolf over the snow, but nightfall sent him back to camp. He shot a deer the next dav. ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES Tramp the snow about apple and or namental trees to prevent mice from working at the base. Farmers' and Home-Makers' Week at University Farm, St. Paul., this winter is from January 3 to 8. The program for Farmers' and Home Makers' Week, at University Farm, St. Paul,~ January 3-8, will be one of the "best programs of the kind ever offered in Minnesota. A mulch of well-rotted manure on the lawn will hold the snow and give a good stand of grass next year. The manure is unsightly until covered by the snow, but gets results. Many towns and cities have ravines or river banks that are unsightly dumping grounds for all sorts of rub bish. Cleared up and parked, they be come an asset to the town. Now is a good time to obtain this sort of prop erty. Cut scions of apples for winter root grafting or to use next spring in top working. Store in sand or sawdust in such a way as to prevent their drying out or becoming moist enough to grow. —Leroy Cady, associate horticulturist, University Farm, St. Paul. What the Old Hen Said "Well this is about the last of the eggs till summer comes unless the boss fixes up this chicken house. He -feeds us well but the feed does us no good and we can't give him back eggs without he shuts out the cold drafts and gives us a little sunlight. "If he would use a few lath and some tar paper he could fix us up very snugly for a trifle. Then he could give us some good sunlight by adding a window or two. "I would be willing to promise him that we would give him back two! dollars for every one that he spends on repairs for our home if that would' be any inducement. "I'm afraid too that he will have to suffer with the cold for I notice that he is shortsighted about his family too. He buys good coal but he does not put on storm windows at his own home so that he loses money there too. "I heard him comparing the cost of fuel with his neighbor on laBt year's fuel bill and his neighbor, who has storm sash for every window, spent less than half what the boss did. |j "Well I hate to be pessimistic but I know we shall be blamed about thle egg deal and probably we shall be killed and eaten before the winter is over because we do not lay eggs, and then onr race will be slandered and) I the neighbors will be told that hens don't pay, and all the time it will not be our fault."
