Gary loves the nrtval cnort of deer huntine, and af v- ?r ? ter preskiing over the criminal court here in October took occasion J to enjoy a hunt on Black river. On his return to preside over the civil court session this month, he again, joined a party on a deer hunt in the Sampit section. He was accompanied tjy Court Stenographer F. F. Coving ton who is also a thorough sports man and delightful companion. . Both hunts were highly successful and full of thrilling experiences. On the first two deer were killed about the noon hour after an exciting chase with a large pack and another in the late afternoon. This deer was jumped in the beginning of the drive ran down the long line of standers just out of gunshot and crossing the swamp was shot at and missed by a hunter. He then took the back track and once again doubled back crossing the swamp at the same place was this time shot and killed. The woods echoed with the cry of the hounds and each hunter- had the exquisite sensation of expecting the (bock to break from cover and pass his bay several times. Shortly after th? fatal shot was fired a huge buck with antlers "like a rocking chair" | was detected slipping out of the drive. He skirted the swamp be-1 yond the reach of the judge's trusty gun, crossed a narrow thicket and escaped over a stand which a hunter had deserted believing the quarry was bagged and the hunt at an end. The judge did not get a shot but en joyed the hunt well. * v , On the hunt last week in the Northhampton woods three big bucks were brought down and still the judge wfLS n?t one of the lucky ones. However, it remained for a gray mule to give the distinguished jurist I "BLUE I There is a ve "BLUE RIB was practical 1 able to turn c Bread from y be assured th boost Abbevi .1 . \vr trie rest, w e h do as we spe] S consumers of different ingre it in,Steam, good for our Marshmallov ternoon, exc< i $ 1! rayaiaaiafaiHiaraiHifiUB SENTENCED PT OF COURT DEER ON HUNT IS GEORGE- * /JDES THRILLING ENTER- * ERS' TO WALK WHILE <G CHASE. I J one of the most exciting five min utes of all his experiences as a hun- i ter of 'big game. As the party was riding through the woods, the judge astride a gentle gray mule, a large buck suddenly sprang up out of the tall grass, bringing him down. The judge was too busy to shoot. The mule, frightened (beyond control by the unexpected sight of the deer and tlie- rapid shooting that followed be gan to kick and buck. The judge stuck in his seat manfully but at the third contortion the animal succeed ed in landing the rider full length upon a soft grassy plot, surprised, but happily none the worse for the fall. The judge was offered another and gentler mule to continue the journey, but declined with thanks, preferring to walk, which he did. COLLECTED $400 MONTH pbau ?i c mo ut tcr k lunc ? ?

It is safe to say that many new grow- s ers will be disappointed unless they t determing (1) to put up for market <; a well graded and well packed pro- r duct, (2) to join a co-operative mar- s keting association that has.made-it j a business of marketing truck crops. <. Even when these things are done, j says F. L. Harkey, agent in market- i ing, there may come the disappoint- c ment of low prices. But the chances x of finding a ready market for indi- r vidual lots of produce especially if <j these lots are ungraded, are few, One may visit any of our markets ; and ask the wholesale and "retail produce dealers how they prefer to buy produce and they will answer: "From a commission house, an association or other selling agency c that is responsible, has a good repu- 8 tation, handles a well graded and * well packed product, and is in busi- 1 n8ss today, tomorrow and next 1 week. We prefer to deal with such * 'agencies rather than with individuals 1 bcause we are able to get a supply * at all times"of a uniformly graded * product and those people want our T business.
