Here are some Of the Features OF this
KIondike number.

Stories from the mining camps told in
a hitherto unpublished letter describing
among other things the fortunes of a
tough youth from San Francisco, who,
as he expresses it, can wear glimmers on
his mitts. The letter tells the story of
one of the young women who have VEN
tured into the mines, and how she fought
with claim jumpers. Besides these Incl
dents of Klondike life, the writer gives a
vivid description of Dawson City, which
he says is "a wide open town."
Facts and figures telling the names of
fortunes, a case where figures are not dry
reading.
interest detailing the fortunes wrung
from golden sands by women of courage
and also telling howAa woman can get to
the mines and what she needs in the way
of provisions and clothing.
Placer mining explained. How the
treasure Is found and gathered told by a
writer who has panned gold himself.
These articles are all illustrated by ar
fists who are we'll and favorably known.
Dan Smith, the magazine illustrator who
has been through Alaska as member of
an exploring expedition, has drawn a pic
ture telling in every line of the dan
gers of navigation which the traveller
must encounter A large picture by
Trowbridge showing a group of miners at
work is a story in itself of the daily toll
in Klondike camp. OF especial interest
is the enlargement from photograph of
q party Of miners en- route 20 the mines,
showing how they dress and travel.

MOISTURE OF SOIL.
How to Preserve 1t by Means of Ju-
diciOUs Narrowing.

Narrowing to save moisture is thus
treated in bulletin No. 12O of the New
York experiment station. 'The har-
row, besides pulverizing and filming the
soil for the seed bed, is most efficient
in furnishing soil mulch. The
spring-tooth harrow is in reality a cul-
tivator and its action is similar to that
of the cultivator. When used as an in
strument TO conserve moisture, the
teeth should penetrate to the depth of
about three inches, and to produce the
best effect the ridges left by it should
be leveled off by smoother which can
now be purchased as an attachment to
the harrow. The tillage of orchards
by the harrow is now practiced extern
sively, and nothing short of irrigation
will so nearly meet the demands of trees
for moisture, particularly upon the
heavier soils. A harrow having a plow-
like action of its blades serves to pull
verize the surface soil, to spread the
loose mulch evenly, and it leaves most
excellent seed bed. The cutaway or
disc harrow may be beneficial or of
absolute injury. If the discs are so
set that they cover but portion of
the surface of the mulch they leave
a ridge exposed to the action of the
wind and sun and the rate of evapora-
ton is greatly increased. The disc
should be set at such an angle that the
whole surface shall be stirred or COW
cred. Their chief value lies in their
cutting and pulverizing action on clay
soils, but as conservers of moisture
they are inferior to the harrow with
plow-like action or the spring tooth.
Soils which need the disc narrower
should generally be gone over again
with some shallower tool. The mel
lower the soil the lighter should be the
work done by the harrow. On most
heavy orchard soils it will be found
necessary to use the heavy tools like
the springtooth and disc harIows in
the spring, but if the land is properly
handled it should be in such condition
as to allow the use of a spike-tooth or
smoothing harrow during summer
This light summer narrowing should
be sufficient to keep down the weeds
and it preserves the soil mulch in most
excellent condition. With such a tool
and on land in good filth a man can
harrow ten or more acres a day"

FLOWING IN SPRING.


deepening Old Ground Should Al
ways BE Done Gradually.
Good crops are dependent upon the
blowing being done well. As tits rather
slow, heavy work, and in the spring is
usually hard on teams, it is always an
item to lessen the amount to be done as
much as possible. If the ground is we'll
plOwed in good season under ordinary
conditions it is comparatively an easy
matter to get the seeding done in good
season. But it is important that the
work be done thorough. There should
be no cutting and covering, nor should
there be any sllips. If a stone or root
throws the pillow out, the team should
be stopped and backed up and the fur
row caught again.
With all spring crops it is an item to
stir the soil thoroughly and reasonably
deep. One of the essential conditions in
securing a good growth and yield is to
have the soil in a fine filth when the
planting is done, and thorough blowing
is great aid in getting the soil in
this condition.
In order to lessen the work of the
teams, and at the same time lessen the
cost of the blowing in many cases, it
will be found economical to use a some
what larger plow-one that turns a
furrow II or 1G inches in preference to
one that turns only 10 or II. With a
large pillow and three good horses one
man will be able to do not only more
work, but better work.
1t is a good plan to take every OPP
portunity to pillow. Sod land can be
plowed when fallow land would be too
wet. 1t is an exceptional case aftey
this, when it can be considered good
economy to pillow old land when it is too
wet to work readily into good filth
While deep stirring of the soil is
best-giving not only a better yield,
hut lessening the risk of failure-still,
if the blowing is delayed until spring
it should be done very little deeper
than the land has been plowed before,
as bringing up to the surface of any
great amount of fresh subsoil will prove
more or less detrimental. Deepening
old ground by blowing should nearly
always be done gradually.-St. Louis
