An old man lives in a wooden | building on the main street of Manistee, Michigan. He dresses plainly in a black suit, black sateen shirt with; out a tie, and a black felt hat. When the weather is warm he wears mocI casins. His bushy white board gives him a benign anil venerable appearance that befits hi* H4 years. Kvery morning, bright and early, the old man goes to market, bring- j ing home his provisions in a basket i or sack. A black dog accompanies ' ! him, Sometimes he may be seen ; over a ilesk on the fn*t floor qf the j building, whose furnishings belong to ( a. |>ast via If he isn't at work he may then be found over a checker \ board in his quarters on the third 1 floor or reading a book dealing with the unhappiness caused by wealth,| writes a correspondent at Manistee, | to the Detroit News. Charles J\ Ruggles, last of the Mani.-tee lumber barons, is the town's j humblest citizen. Though hi<? wealth : is more than $">0,000,000, he lives on less th.in 00 cents a day. He has j r.vver been married, is a professed j woman hater, and his only companions in his garret-like abode are a j cook, named Joe, and the dog. In his home community -through- : out Western Michigan for that mat-j ter- Buggies is known for two things, shrewdness and eccentricities. In the | latter category are many personal I habits that belie his immense means. J He scrubs the floor for exercise, cans i ih oil ami on a chart on the kitchen' wall jots down the cost of each meal. ; This, incidentally, is never very high, j lor his fare simple, consisting us- j ually of oysters, in season, johnnv ' cake, milk and boiled chestnuts. When, he arrived in Manistee from Wisconsin shortly after the Civil War, all he had was a keen eye for (stimating timber, ami an unbounded! faith in his own ability. Behind him were n long line of New England an- [ t estors, whose tradition of canniness he inherited, lie bought timber an 1 i sold it at a profit, then added to hii ' holding, and today owns something like 200,01)0 acres of valuable forest worth an incalculable sum. He is also the principal owner of the Buggies & Rademakcr salt plant here. | The character of this unusual man, who prefers to live without ostentation. ha> made?millionaires of five employees, and never lost money on a single deal, is best illustrated by ' tlie stories of his friends. Outstand- > ing among his traits is a Yankee nard-headedness and practicality. No matter what situation arises, he i- ' never swayed by emotion or senti mentality. One night Buggies got off a train j ;>' Manistee in company with a stran- | gel*. The latter said lie had come to htain a job from Buggies and had: an appointment with him the next i morning. "Old man. I'll give you a quarter if you'll carry my suitcase t?? the hotel." i.e told his venerable companion. ; Ruggle- took the quarter at the end of the jourrley. and thrust it gravely | in hi> pocket. Next morning the newcomer nearly fainted with surprise when the baggage handler of the previous evening was introduced to him. "No young man who can spent 25 1 cents for someone to carry his suitj case needs a job," was Buggies' reply I to the application for employment. | Another time Ruggles was sitting in front of a building where a political meeting was scheduled "when the orator of the evening drew up in his rig. "Here, old man, hold my horse." he called out to Ruggles, who was unknown to him. Buggies did as directed, and when the speaker returned was presented with a dollar. "Isn't that a lot of money for hold! ing a hor-e?" Ruggles asked the polj itician. "Tain't to me," the latter replied. ' "I've got $110,000 tucked away for a 1 rainy day." he informed the million: rie loftily. Once during a visit to his salt plant Buggies fell into a tank of brine, another story goes. He was promptly rescued by a workman, who the next day was summoned to the old man's office where he expected' to receive a large reward. "You , ao go hack to the plant and! get your "me." was Buggies' mes-. sage to th.i- workman. "If you'd been busy w y>ur duties you'd never ave i -iie fall into the tank." Rugg- - pe-haps the he>: cheek-' pi' Manistee. 1R - s^ill is . p. many of the b>eal ex- j : , w >nger contest w-rh him. 11- . i a e saw several of his g a wagon :y :'">nt of . li-eted one .'f them t" ' - favorite pursuit. \:' < i" Bugg'es had won several _ :v. - .i -.i i i? d to the w .rtdnw to t i ut : a the loading was provg 1 rt.ug to the workman, he s.vd. "Tho-e felowvs seem to he 1 lading t he w agon ju-t :i< fast without you. You are discharged?go back to the plant and get your pay." Buggies -elects his helpers by standards that seem unusual, but none the le-s effective. His association with one man. whom he raised to a millionaire by permitting him to share in profitable timber deals, began accidentally. Ruggles saw his j future associate as a young man on ' the street, and stopped him. "Do you want a job?" Buggies asked. J "I have one." . , ""MM I Much Grass Seed Ordered in County Orders for ten thousand pounds of grass seed which have gone through the County Agent's office in the past week give evidence thut farmers are recognizing this most important means of producing feed for livestock ami thus utilizing otherwise unproductive land. These orders include lespedcza, or Japan clover, and carpet grass in almost equal amounts and a small quantity of white Dutch clover. Successful farmers who have good pastures declare them to be the most profitable acres on their farm, producing feed without effort after seeding and thus greatly reducing the cost of keeping all kinds of animals. Cows produce the cheapest milk, beef cattle produce gains at the lowest cose and work stock can be kept at least cost while on pasture. While good land produces the best pastures, areas not well adapted to cultivated crops can -often be seeded to pasture to advantage. Bottom land which is rather moist makes the best location for seeding carpet grass while lespcdeza grows on all soil exit pt the extremely wet or light sandy upland. Seeding* should he anade on a firm seed bed such as land which has been prepared in the fall and .-ceded to grain and has had time to settle and become firm. Under no conditions should grass seed l>e sown on newly plowed land or plowed under. It is often not necessary to do more than clear the land of brush and obstructions and scratch the surface with the smoothing harrow to I i evtrnt?the-seed .from puddling during a heavy rain. flood results are secured by seeding ten pounds of carpet grass seed and twelve to twenty pounds of lespedcza seed per acre. A much better stand of grass will be secured by keeping the tall grass and weeds in check by mowing the newly sown pastures several times during the season. This treatment serves to let the sunlight into the young plants and helps them to crowd out ? the weeds. (loud pastures mean cheaper feed and more money from livestock. Orchard Demonstration A splendid orchard demonstration was conducted at the orchard of Mr. K. M. Perry between Westville and Kershaw on Wednesday morning. Attendance was good and much interest was shown. Messrs. Brun-on an i Schilletter gave demonstrations on pruning, spraying and other cares of the orchard. Mr. J. It. Hawkins, Livestock specialist, gave a splendid talk at the orchard meeting. lie stressed the need of more income and the use of hogs. Those present showed much interest in the matter of hogs. Mr. Hawkins i- working wtih County Agent Green this week. They are i organizing 1-H pig clubs over the county in the schools. Resolutions of Respect The following resolutions of respect ,-igned by J.
