An easterner visiting Michigan Is at tracted by the stump fences more than by almost anything else, a writer tn American forestry remarks. Aside from these stuuip fences, tbe farms, the uplands and the marshes are not much different from those of New England. One misses the char acteristic stone walls of New Kngland, but finds In their plnce the most novel fences In the world- those made of stumps that have In recent years been pulled out of the ground by powerful machines constructed for that purpose The force required to pull such stumps from the ground is enormous, but It Is applied slowly, In submission to tbe decree of nature that what Is gained in power must he lost In speed. These stumps are relics of the liveli est lumbering ever seen In tbe United States. It ended about thirty years ago In Big Rapid, Grand llnplds and their vicinity Old timers entertain the visitor by the hour wltb reminls enecs of the amazing number of logs that were cut In that region. Logging somewhat similar, out not nearly so extensive, still continues in the northern part of Michigan, but does not equnl in extent nor in pic turesqueness that which formerly took plnce on tbe fumous Muskegon river. WHEN BUYING A HORSE. How to Find Out Whether a Trader Has Cheated You. In farm and Fireside o contributor says that ordinarily the purchaser of a horse is allowed twenty four hours In which to try and return any horse found unsound In great horse mar kcts like Chicago a twenty-four hour limit for testing Is allowed. This con trlhutor tells as follows how to test u horse: "When u horse has been doped for heaves the disease symptom! will bo likely to return In twenty four hours If the horse Is given nil the drinking n ter he will take and Is fed generously on bulky feed, tie can then he thor oughly tested for wind by running and by dragging a wagon with a locked wheel. "Where cocaine Is used to hide lame ness Its effects will pass off In a few hours A hypodermic Injection of mor phine, Strychnine or similar drug will pass off In twelve hours or less. Can nabls Indira or chloral hydrate makes a horse sleepy for from twelve to eight een hours unions tile dose Is very large, In which case the effect will last longer, the only sure way to prefect yourself is to buy a horse from a reputable dealer and get a written guarantee of soundness signed before a witness." Saved by His Wit. The French author Mnrtntnvllle was a royalist and did not hesitate to attack the French revolution and Its authori ties. Presently, of course, he w-as sum moned to appear before the revolution ary tribunal, with tbe terrible Fou qulcr at lis head. The revolutionary tribunals at that time did nut hesitate to send anybody to the guillotine who hud ventured to attack them Maruiln vllle expected to go with the rest of the victims.
