and trappers on the Yukon failed to meet
their gross outlay for the year. Two.thirds
Of the Alaska mink, bear, land otter, wolf,
marten and fox skins came from the Yukon
district, reinforced by the catch from the
upper Koskoquim country. The remaining
one'third is gathered up at Nushagag, Bris.
tol Bay, and Cooks Inlet. None of the Al
eutian islands yield any fur worthy of men
ton, save the few valuable sea otter skins
which are secured on outlaying reefs and
rocky lodges. Whether the fur-bearing ami
mails Of British North America are as plenty
now as they were in the palmy days of the
Hudson Bay company monopoly are no date
for Judging. But we know that the fur.
bearing beasts of that country have been
hunted by ten men during the last twenty
years, where one followed them up formerly
ard this fact points plainly to a very great
diminution of wild life.

HAY FOR Hoes. Few men are aware
Of the fact that hay is very beneficial to hogs
bnt it is true, nevertheless. Hogs need
rough food as well as horses, cattle or the
human race. To prepare it you should have
cutting box or hay cutter, and the greener
the hay the better. Cut the hay as short as
oats, or shorter, and mix with bran shorts
or middlings, and feed as other food. 1Hogs
soon learn to like it, and, if soaked in swill
as other food, is highly relisbed by them
In winter, use for hogs the same hay....you
feed to your horses and you will find that
while it saves bran, shorts or other food, il
puts on flesh as rapidly as anything that
can be given them. The use OF hay
can be commenced as early as the gras
is fit to cut,s and when run through
cutting box can be used to advantage by
simply soaking in fresh water until it sours

STORING ONIONS During the winter
onions should be kept in cool, dry place,
free from hard frost. 1t will do no harm il
the thermometer should sink few degrees
below freezing point in the storeroom, but
become soft and unfit for use They may be
stored in dry cellar in barrels which are
perforated with airholes. They will thus be
ready to ship, as soon as spring opens, with
out further trouble, or they may be placed
on a barn floor underneath which it cannot
freeze and covered with hay. Large guam
titles should never be stored during the
winter in an unsuitable place, and they mus
be thoroughly dry.

Far Away Alaska.
VALUE OF THE FUR TRAFFIC OF THAT WILD
REGIoN-THE VARIETY OF ANIMALS
HUNTED.

The fur of the skin traffic of Alaska, out
side of the returns fro IN the Pribiov Is
lands, it is stated, does not exceed $3.50, 600,
and Of this sum two thirds belong to the sea
otter catch of the Aleutian Islands aud coast
of Kodiak Island. So the bear, the wolves,
the foxes, land otters, martens, and minks,
and the deer hides altogether taken from
Alaska every year. do not represent the gross
value of 100000 to tile traders aud hunters
engaged in the business. For the last twelve
years the most energetic rivalry in the fur
trade on the Yukon river has never resulted
in showing a net annual gain for the traders
engaged in the district of over $4,000, and
this is what is acknowledged as the richest
fur bearing section of Alaska. During sew
sral seasons, the combined catch of the traders

Success of Small Fruits

The value of the series of articles by Mr..
f. L. Roe, now appearing in Scribner's Month";
~ on the above subject, is not only appreci-
atod by thousands of people who are trying,
as amateurs, to cultivate fruits of different
kinds, but is bringing words of high praise
from experienced horticulturists. Nothing
of the kind has been attempted for years,
and the advances that have been made in the
science of horticulture, since any standard
book has been written on the subject make
these articles uprivaled. The editor of the
Rural New Yorker writes to Mr.. Roe as fol-
lows: 81 have often said and written that
small fruits should be cultivated by everybody
that owns or hires plot Of ground, even if
no larger than an ordinary grass plot for dry
ing clothes. If the benevolent institutions
of our cities would encourage it among the
poorer classes with which their good work
brings them in contact, | believe that more
substantial benefit would result than from
any Of the methods at present pursued for
their betterment.
Horticulture is captivating occupation
in any of its branches, and in none more so
than in the cultivation of small fruits.
There is nothing but lack of knowledge
upon the subject that deprives the poorest
people in the land from bountiful supply
during the entire season. 1t seems to me
that your strawberry articles in ScriJher-in
so far as they may be judged by the first two
numbers-are well calculated to promote inst
such popular appreciation of the straw.
berry at least; and | hope you will not stop
until you have dealt with the raspberry,
black berry, currant gooseberry and grape in
the same familiar, inspiriting and comprehen-
sive way"
Mr.. Peter Henderson, the veteran SEEDS
man, writes: "The time is ripe for your ar
ticle, as vast improvements have been made
since Fuller wrote, not only in culture, but in
varieties. Your instructions have
the true practical ring that no writer on such
subjects can attain without actual expert
ence." Mr.. W. H. Coleman, one of the best
horticultural writer's in the country, speaks
in high praise of the papers, and adds,
Your artists are doing things before une-
qualled on such subjects. The first article
taught me great deal about strawberry his
tory that | didn't know before"
In the January ,Scribner will appear the
third paper in the series, devoted to STRAW
berries for Home and Market" the illustra-
tions for which are probably the finest Of the
kind ever produced in this country.
