CREST FALL NOTES
A re You Rerdy to Meet Them as They Fall
Due?

Dueg
The approach OF winter brings a
multitude of things which ought 70 be
done before cold weather sets in.
Those who practice blowing in the fall
will push this work to completion.
am decidedly in favor of fall blowing.
1t enables one to put in his grain much
earlier in the spring, and leaves the
ground looser, through the winter
freezing and thawing, besides killing a
host of grubs of various kinds.
If the pillow was put away last spring
in proper condition. it will scour nicely
the very first round. BY this l mean
if it was carefully wiped off and put
under cover. What wretched work a
pillow makes which will not scour! and
how provoking it is to hold it! A few
minutes work would have saved all
such trouble. Other farm tools when
used for the last time in the fall should
be cleaned up and housed. Rust eats
up thousands of dollars worth of good
tools every year.
If we keep sheep, look out for a
| good ram to head the flock. 1t is best
to secure one from some other herd.
And when about this see to it that
the animal comes of good, thrifty,
time bearing stock, il possible In this
way we may greatly increase the pro
duction OF lambs next spring. A little
grain along at this time will keep the
sheep in good condition and bring
them in for winter SO they will &c
through all right.
Those who do not produce feed

a supply in the fall. have practiced
this for years. Bran can be had at q

ALASKA MOSQUITOES.
A Variety That Is Said to Bent the

WOrU-Unuts, Also.
Not the least of the, difficulties to be
encountered by the Alaskan gold seek.
er is the terrific warfare waged by the
mosquitoes. They are something aw-
full, and every traveller who has writ
ten anything on the subject of Alaska
mentions them as pests worse than the
locusts of ancient Egypt.
The New Jersey variety is not to be
considered in comparison with these
northern pests, that come in clouds and
envelop man and beast in an embrace,
sometimes of death.
When the weather is warm-and it
gets very warm during the long days
of the short summer, especially about
Juneau and along the new route to
the Klondike valley-the mosquitoes
seem to rise out of the earth. They
are everywhere, and no kind of net
will stop them.
Prof. Dali, of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition, went to Alaska few years ago,
when the Western Union Telegraph
company was considering the practical
bility of running wire.
His work was so seriously impedod
by the mosquitoes that he made a spe-
cial report on them in which he said
that they laughed at blankets even,
and were repealed by nothing but buck
skin. Think of a mosquito sufficiently
robust to sink shaft through a blan-
ket. Nothing in the way of smoking
or using chemicals seemed to have any
effect on the pests, according to the
learned professor.
Lieut.. Schwatka says that his great.
est trouble came from mosquito bites
and doctor who accompanied Schwat-
ka declared that the Alaska mosquitoes
were so cunning that two of them
would hold the legs and wings of a
third fat against his body in order
to let him squeeze through the meshes
of the finest net. Most people think
however, that they are too mean &c

Then there are gnats also. In the
region of Lake Tahoe they are espe

warm winds from the Pacific in the

HERE AND THERE.

If you want to raise eggs only,
separate the hens from the males. The
coclserels are n nuisance anyhow, most
OF the time, and should be sold off as
soon as the market warrants.
The goose is a good rustler, and
will take care Of itself where there is
pasture. Never mind the noise it
makes SO long as it is bird of so much
profit.
Chicken cholera is but symptom
Of undiscovered troubles. IL the fowls
are kept free from lice and are fed
properly, cholera is not likely to appear
among them in any shape.
is it any wonder that the orchard

the soil, or use the ground for pastur-
age as if the trees were but fence posts?
The dirt and sweat which accumu-
late on the horse during the day should
never be allowed TO remain on him over

lition pursues the habits Of tramp.
There is positively q demand for
good horses which pay the producer
well. When anyone denies this you
may be pretty sure that he is not pro-
ducing good special purpose animals.
The idea that fat mems do not lay
has been assiduously taught-a lesson

little idea of the largeness Of west

sissippi valley farm. Forty acres here
is a small farm. One hundred and six
ty acres and more is considered farm
ing. On these farms there Is always
feed lots where cattle and hogs are fed
and fatteped by the car loads for the
eastern markets; there are wind mills
and tanks for drawing and watering
the stock. All of these farms have
