The nature of the whole land can be
roughly divided into three conditions:
Snow and ice fields bury the coast range
and choke up every hollow; to the i'm
mediate north the valleys are rocky and
barren, but the vast interior beyond is
richly clothed in luxuriant vegetation.
The scientific authorities theoretically
mapped out giant ice fields as spreading
over the entire land from the FAIR
weather and Mount St. Elias ranges
north almost to the valley of the Yukon.
Colossal heights mantled in never.
melting SHOWS tower thousands of feet
in the air, but within the shadow of
these mighty upland,, in the sheltered
hollows beneath, lie immense valleys
carpeted in richest grasses, and grace
fully tinted with wild flowers. Here in
the summer genial cline is found,
where strawberries and other wild fruits
ripcn to luxuriance, where there are four
and half months of summer and seven
and half of winter. In June and July
the sun Is lost below the horizon only for
few hours, and the temperature,
though chilly at night, has an average of
sixty-fve degrees in the daytime

Covards III the DARK.

81 was in the British army whom Z
young man," said an Englishman the
other day, /" and was stationed for some
time in India. Our Colonel, an old
campaigner who had won his spur in
the Crimea, became involved in diff
Guilty with a fellow officer, and duel
was the result. The Colonel, being the
challenged party, selected pistols as the
weapons and elected that the affair
should occur in darkened room. We
secured-a room twenty feet square, closed
every crevice that would admit light,
placed our men in corners diagonally op-
posite and withdrew. Each man was
provided with three charges and when
these were exhausted we rushed In to
gather up the mutilated remains. Each
man stood erect and soldier-like in the
corner untouched, but directly behind
the head of the Colonel's opponent were
the three bullet holes made by the
Colonel's pistol. 'How is this'2 said a
grizzled old Major. Had you been
standing here when those shots were
fired you would have been killed. The
culprit was compelled to admit that he
had dropped to one knee. You are a
coward, sir, and unfit for the company
of soldiers and gentlemen snorted the
Major. Hold on, Major said the
Colonel. 1t is stand off. While he
was on his knees in one corner I was on
my stomach in the other. New York

SALT MAKES MORE MILE.

It is being reported as something new
that the giving of salt to cows has the
effect of increasing the yield of milk.
There is nothing new in this except to
those persons who are beginners in the
business of keeping cows, or who do not
read a paper in which any information
ou this subject is regularly given. It is
very simple matter. Milk is made only
from the food that is digcsted. If tho
food is not di i-ested, not only is there a
loss of materuI of which milk may be
made, but the COW does not feel well.
Both these are conducive to decrease
of the milk. But when COW is reeu-
larly supplied with salt, not only is She
satisfied with this qualification of her
tastes and inclinstions, but the digestion
of the food is perfect, and the result is
that the milk yield Is up to the highest
point. The digestive fluid consists in
part of hydrochloric acid, OF which salt
is partly made up, and thus this iudis-
pensable agent of digestion is supplied
to the cows. Salt is thus as much food
as sugar, which goes so largely to main /.
tain the vital heat and support life, and

LANE LOVERS,

The purslane weed is of some use, il
it is nuisance of the iarm. The hogs
are especially fond of it, and as it is
good for them there is no reason why the
weed should not be given to them. All
farmers are more or less acquainted with
the weed and know full well how it
thrives. When they are killing the
weeds, and if it can be done without
danger to crops, let the hogs have the
run OF the field. Then watch and see
what perfect picnic the porkers will
have.
If it is not possible to give the pigs
the run of the fields gather all the weeds
possible and throw it to them. We
know of farmer who makes it prac
tice to go every morning and pull good
amount of the weeds for the pigs. He
claims that in the morning is the best
time to give them this food, and says
they enjoy it more. But we think the
time of day to give the pigs the weeds
is immaterial, and the best time is when
you think you have enough weeds col
lected for them.-American Farmer.

wINTERlNe FRUIT WOOD.

Grapes can be grown even in the coolest
sections, if the vines are laid down on
the soil in November, so as to be COW
cred with snow, and this is an easy mat
ter with their plant stems.
Professor Budd SAYS that peach trees
have been fruited in Iowa by using the
same preservative means. Their stiff,
branchy nature i'll adapts them to lying
down, but this difficulty, as explained in
the Rural New Yorker, is overcome by
reducing the young tree to single bare
stem after one years growth. This stem
is bent flat to the ground late in the fall ;
the roots being bent or cut to make it
practicable. About five feet of the stem
remain permanently horizontal and the
point grows upward and is allowed to
branch; but chiefly in line with the pros
trate stem, ard is staked to hold it erect.
In the next fall the top is easily bent
down to one side or the other and held
flat by billets of wood.
The Antwerp sorts of raspberry can be
fruited with similar care to let only three
or four canes grew in hill in summer
and to weight these down for the win
ter. 1t Is best not to cover any of such
laid down shoots with earth as, If mild
weather occurs before April, the fruit
buds may swell and rot. A difficulty IN
the case of the beach tree is its tendency
to making rank growth late in summer,
which cannot rlpen well. The bending
and training indicated above are likely
to check this over production of soft
wood and to induce more Towering buds
aud shoots.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

F<ii'h <h-t-I phhbSN NolEos
Tomatoes should not grow too much
| vine.
Potatoes should be kept in the coolest
and darkest place possible.
Low-growing vegetables may be cul.
tivated between berry bushes.
The wool from well fed sheep is much
better than from half-starved ones.
When transplanting, have the roots
straight and in their natural position.
There is no profit in letting bees
make wax. Honey is what is wanted,
not wax.
Tomato leaves are also said to make a
good insecticide if stepped in water and
sprinkled over plants.
Poorly kept sheep will not make the
owner rich, nor do much towards build
ing up the fertility of the soil.
The wood queen-excluders do not
seem to take much. The bees enlarge
the cuts and the queens go above.
If the weeds have started up in the
wheat fields in many cases 1t will be
found good plan to turn in the sheep.
If the fowls get too fat give them
some grain not rich in carbo-h hydrates.
Oats as single food will tend to lessen
the fat.
See that the poultry exhibited at the
fairs have airy coops. If they are neat
and uniform in size the display will show
off better.
Excelsior - the material used bv
upholsterers-is said to be an excellent
thing for beekeepers. When ignited it
makes dense smoke.
If you have late Matched turkeys it
will be we'll to see that they do not get
into the grass until the dew is off even
though the sun is bright.
The cause of the death of bees in a
hive is quite often due to starvation.
And what may seem worse, the owner of
the apiary rarely knows the cause.
In shipping poultry do not crowd the
coops too full. Besides the sufferings
caused the fowls, the death of two or
three will take off the expected profits
and cause disappointment.
Cultivate late potatoes the same as the
spring crop. AS au advantage to the
potato, level cultivation is best, but
when slightly ridged or hilled they can
be more easily plowed out.
If the garden is we'll planned, three
crops can be secured in one season, but
the ground must be kept occupied. As
soon as one crop has matured another
must be ready to take its place.
To give permanency and uniformity
to the ideal type that has been adopted,
selections for breeding must be strictly
confined to animals having the desired
characters, within the limits of dis.
tinct breed, or of single family of a
distinct breed.
Where the attack on corn by bill bugs
is limited to small areas the application
of n handful of sand saturated with
kerosene around each of the hills will
cfIectually rid the field of them, rains
carrying the oil down into the soil and
killing the bugs.

HINTS ON CARVING.

1t is pleasant to see woman carve, if
she does it deftly; there seems something
appropriate and almost Scriptural in a
woman's dispensing food to her house
hold. English women nearly always
carve, but In this country the work is al.
most invariably relagated to the men.
To save strength, time and patience in
carving it is absolutely necessary to have
sharp knife. AS general rule cut
across the grain. A turkey should be
placed with the head toward the right
hand of the carver. The breast is
generally cut in slices parallel with the
breastbone; but if the turkey is large,
first cut the wings off close to the body
and then cut across.
A good way to keep knife perfectly
sharp, and make your husband think
you give him the tenderest of joints, is
to use "rife," such as the farmers
sharpen their scythes upon. A few turns
on this will give an edge that will cut
through anything. New York Tribune.

EXPERIMENTS WITH OATS.

Experiments have been made at the
Illinois station on rate and depth of
seeding, and tests of varieties of oats.
All were made on the fertile dark-colored
soil of the station grounds. Welcome
oats were sown on seven plats, each one
by sixteen rods, at the rate of from one
to four bushels per acre. The yields of
both grain and straw for each of the four
years the experiment has been in pro-
gress and the averages of the four years
are tabulated for each rate of seeding.
The largest yield of grain in 1891 was
from sowing three and one-half bushels
per acre with little variation between the
plats sown at the rate of two, two and
one-half, three, three and one-half and
four bushels per acre. The average yields
for four years were much the same as the
above. One or one and half bushels
gave smaller average yields than any of
the heavier seedlings. The weight of
the grain per bushel was less in the case
of the light seeding.
As to depth of covering the indica-
tions were that the returns were slightly
better from covering two inches deep,
though in trials for four years the best
results have not come from covering the
same depth in any two years.
The average yield per acre in tests of
forty-four varieties on tifty-fve plats in
1890 and 1891 was 66. bushels of grain,
weighing 1875 pounds per bushel, and
2S40 pounds of straw.
The early-maturing varieties are those
harvested July to IA; the medium,
July 16 to 20, and the late, July "a to
30. The y-maturing varieties are
superior to either the medium or late in
the average yield of both grain and
straw, the weight per bushel and size of
berries, but are inferior to either of these
in per cent. of kernel; the dun -colored
gave the smallest yield and the largest
per cent. of kernel. As to the panicles,
open or closed, the latter are superior in
yield of both grain and straw and also in
per cent. of kernel.
AS TO weight per bushel, those which
weigh less than thirty-two pounds are
superior in both yield and per cent. of
kernel. Notwithstanding the common
belief to the contrary, it is said those
oats which weigh least to the bushel
have usually the highest per cent. of
kernel and consequently the highest
food value. Thirty varieties have been
tested for three years and fourteen ad-
ditional for two years. No one variety
has been shown to be greatly superior to
all others. A different variety stood
first in yield in each of the three years.

Wonderful Blades.

The most wonderful weapons in his
tory. uniting miraculous sharpness with
wonderful elasticity, are undoubtedly
the blades of Damascus.
The sabre of Japan, though as hard as
diamond, with an edge so acute that
it will go through pillow or poker
as if it were air, cannot compete with
the old Syrian swords, because it has no
elasticity. This elasticity is not alto
gether lost art, as to-day one may see
in Toledo, Spain, blades packed in coils
like watch springs.
Swords have been made during the
present century in Russia that rivaled in
edge and bending qualities the famous
Damascus blades. At the imperial fac
tory of Zlatoust, IN the Urals, some have
been turned out which bend till the
point touches the hilt, and which would
also cut through an iron bar. More than
this no blade has ever done, or can do.

it should be given to all animals that do
not live wholly on animal food, and in
proportion to the amount of vegetable
food they consume. The staple supply
determined upon by experts is two
ounces for COW, one ounce for a horse,
dram for sheep per day, and small
quantity at intervals of few days for
swine aud poultry. The quantity given
to COW is for the reason that she gives
milk which contains salt, and thus needs
more than horse, but mare that is
nursing foal should have an increased
allowance, although this is rarely thought
of.-American Dairyman.

UNHARMFULNEss OF CAKE.

Cake of the simple kinds, especially
sponge, is and can be frequently given
to the sick. Good sponge cake served
with sweet cream or glass of milk is
an excellent lunch for an invalid.
Some of the plain kinds of butter
cakes-those made with little butter
such as white, "feather" and similar va
rieties-are really excellent food. Con-
slider for moment what they contain
Eggs, milk, butter, sugar and flour
five of the most valuable of all our food
products.
Yet there are those who pride them
selves upon not eating cake. This
idiosyncrasy can only be explained in
one or two ways. Either the cake which
they have had has not been properly
made or else it has been so good that
during lapse of judgment they have
eaten too much.
The dark fruit cakes are to be avoided
by both sick and well on account of the
indigestible nature of the dried fruits
used in them, and also because they are
generally very compact and heavy, not
light.
There is custom prevalent in many
kitchens of using what is called "cook-
Ing BUTTER" that is, butter which is off
taste or rancid. If you have no other
butter for cake, don't make any. Cake
made with that will not come under the
head Of "unharmful." Sweet butter and
fresh eggs, not ''store" eggs, are abso-
lutely necessary.
Also is needed dainty thinker to
oil the pan in which it is to be
baked, so that the outside of the
cake shall not taste of the fat.
Many an otherwise good, harmless
cake has been spoiled by doing this with
dirty or rancid grease. Use sweet but
ter or sweet olive oil.-Chicago News
Record.
