It is tossed Into the water by spoonfuls and no other on the market. In the rough, his plan Is something like this: when the fish are, ready, for market, which will In all probability be, late this fall, be will transfer them In certain quantities to a larger pond which he will soon commence constructing. As he operates under a special license and Is not affected by closed seasons, he will open this pond to any and alt anglers and they can fish to their hearts con tent; the cost of :such' sport de- nr.n.lliu' nn fit: n mount fif fish i. lpn.'lil.tri w ill nlwn ho ni.iite ' for those who had no luck.'

United States Rubber Company On the 800-ncrn farm of, Mr. and Mrs. Hernal Hug, a few miles north of Klgin, Ihero. ure to be found a number of o.nlte. Interesting things outside of tho usual crops or side lint s round on a farm. There may be found there, some hobbies, may ili,. iiMch Mr Itntr n Hiiendlng i.i i.i .i..w. ....r. nr lu-iiith Iuik horn irood crops for 11 some different lines he Is trying eonseeut tve years, tip to last year which they demand. The rabbits arft raised for Iioiiih conauinpt Ion only and Mr. and Mrs. Hug wer in no ways backward In acknow- j edging that they made very good eating. Mr. Hug bns tt flock of about 75 head of sheep und goals, -the latter being the angoras. They are quite, an Item of profit, th mohair al ways commanding quite a good price. These are the things that aro "different" the visitor find also the customary wheat "nnd hay and cows and chickens, an old orchard UNITED STATES TIRES ARE GOOD TIRES PLENTY OF RUBBER IN U.S. ROYAL CORDS For Sale by MT. CiAKAGI-; K C SMITH I .a Grande La Grando tint when bis time can he spared from his main crops bis orchard, bis wheat, hay etc.' Not certainly coming under the head of hobby but, rather, under the head of Homethlng which ho is starting nnd in a measure trying out is tho fittf orchard which ho, with the assistance of his father, set out this spring. The orchard covers 2."t acres, anil contains 1100 trees. Half of these are cherries, mainly Lamberts with a very few ot the Mings and Hoyal Annes, and the other half are Italian prunes. The prunes were planted as fillers lor the cherries, Hellevtng that In most orchards a serious mlstako has been made in planting the trees too closely logether, Mr. Hug has placed his young trees 4t Met apart. Determined to follow those methods which will keep his young orchard In tho best of con ditlou und bring them to maturity Willi the least loss of trees possible, Mr. Hug believes that within tha few years necessary, he will havo an orchard of bearing trees which will he a source of an ndequato revenue, inasmuch as hewill havo cherries which will be on the last market, a variety much, in demand and which has always marketed well. Mr. Hug's hobby is his flowers and up near his old orchard Is a large plot of ground which bo been set aside Tor their production. In following this hobby, the cul tivation of beautiful flowers h ha proven himself quite a wizard. Last week the piuksv the snapdragons. In gorgeous colors, sweet wllliam and others were In full bloom, as re union llllles were Just coming on as were the gladiolus. There was a rather new peonie bed, wltb sturdy bushes, that even this year had yielded well. A largrt space In ihe garden is devoted to tulips and Iris, and It was snld that this year, while in bloom, this section was a wonderful sight. The. hardy cbry aittht mums promise pleasure to the visitor at the garden later in the year. It is to b doubted whether, for size, for variety! of flowers and lor choice varieties. Mr. Hug's gsrden can be equalled in the country, While he does not rniso the flowers particularly fr commercial pur pus, yet he has furnished, this season, hlusoius by the hundred to (lorisls.
