Matching BY Incubators.

Hens cannot be depended upon to
hatch and raise broods in winter; one
must wait for them to become broody.
Even il inclined to sit, they can
hardly be spared for that purpose when
eggs command the highest price.
Artificial Matching is necessity in the
winter, and the pains now taken In the
manufacture OF inouhators, OF which
there are many doing good work,
makes the Matching OF chicks in the
coolest OF weather, once so difficult,
now possible and easy. An incubator
can be controlled and used when most
needed, supplying the real want of
Matching chicks in large numbers, so
that advantage may be taken OF the
high price paid for broilers in the
early spring. This work is done at a
season when there is leisure, one in
cubator doing the work of from ten to
fifty hens.
In this, as in any business, one must
learn that there is risk, and that
some fail cannot be denied, yet very
many succeed, and patient perseverance,
and fair amount of common sense
will surely conquer In the end. An
incubator pays, even II used only the
last week or few days OF Matching,
assuring chicks free from lice, ssone
great cause of mortality, and saving
all crushing chicks in the nest by
hens. USED in connection, it works
we'll. Still, we have the testimony OF
hundreds that, side by side, an incu-
bator well managed will far excel the
hen in winter Matching.
Raising chicks in winter by hens is
hard to accomplish, even under the
most favorable conditions. The space
occupied by one hen and brood would
easily accommodate fifty chickens
alone. Often when the chicks are
three or four weeks old she commences
laying, and they are left motherless.
Unlike hen, brooder is ready to
hover chicks at all times. Even il
Matched by hens, vast amount of
labor is saved by the use Of breeders,
and with them one hundred chicks
can be as easily cared for as ten. Con-
fined as they must be in small quar-
tiers, they are safe from destructive
animals.
Great care should be taken not TO
keep the brooder or houses too warm.
and the heat should be gradually re-
duced as they increase in size. Give
them fresh air from the first, with

NEW TARIEE RULES.
Old Regulations Of spain Considerably
Relaxed.

Washington. -SOme changes in the
Cuban and Porto Rican tariff rates
have been approved by the President
and cabled TO the United States officers
in these places. In the former rates
on both islands the importation OF
oleomargarine and such products was
prohibited; under the new arrange
ments it will be admitted at the same
rate as is applied to butter. Another
change was in the administrative fea-
lures Of the Cuban tariff. There was a
provision that where goods were
brought in and not entered for duty
for ninety days the officer in charge
could seize and dispose Of them at
public sale. Under the new provisions
the ninety days may be extended to
six months, in the discretion OF the
officer in charge. The Government is
doing what it can to facilitate the
operations OF trade in the Cuban and
Porto Rican ports that come into the
possession Of the United States. The
department has advised representatives
OF large commercial houses in New
York that bonded warehouses are
badly needed, at Santiago particularly,
and that the absence of these facilities
is doing much to prevent commerce
from resuming its normal channels
and is imposing loss upon American
trade.
First Assistant Secretary Meikeliohn
referred these complaints to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, who has replied:
The customs arrangements as TO
Cuba are merely tentative and do not
look to the Immediate restoration of
commerce to is natural channels,

an elaborate system OF counting and

unequal requirements at the several
ports, it ma. be said that no long
interval of tine apparently will inter-
fere with the harmonious regulations
as the ports pass successfully under
control OF the United States forces,
Under the Idvice OF the Secretary,
Acting Secretary Melklejohn sent the
following telegram:

A great mistake is often made in not
giving proper attention to fruit trees.
In the Spring, as soon as the leaves
are out, they should be sprayed, and
again after the blossoms have fallen.
Never spray when the trees are in
bloom, as it will kill the bees that
come to gather the honey. We use
about one ounce OF Paris green to ~
gallons Of water. A few years ago we
neglected to spray our trees because
we had so much other work on hand,
and discovered our mistake when the
fruit became wormy and began to drop
off. Since that time we have sprayed
and will continue to do so, for without
1t there is not much use in having
fruit trees. We have two large green
gage trees from which we gathered
over IA bushels last year and sold them
for 50 per bushel. II you have started
an orchard, keep the ground well Gull
tivated and raise vegetables while the
trees are small. The trees should be
trimmed early in the Spring. In July
or August go over all the trees and kill
the borers. You can tell where they
are by seeing some wood chewed up
and lying OH the ground around the
trunk OF the tree. The best way to
get them out is TO follow the holes as
far as you can with pocket-knife,
then run thin wire in as far rs you
can and Il will kill the borers.

BnddInr the walnut.

b. Nj. LelOng, secretary OF the State
Board OF Horticulture, says: Trees
are budded in July, August and as late
as September. The bud is cut about
Ia inches long. In cutting it from
the stick cut deep into the wood, Civ
ing the bud as much bark as possible
Then gOuge out some OF the wood from
the bud to allow its inner bark to
unite with the inner bark of the stock.
Insert bud in slit in stock as in bud
ding fruit stock and tie tightly with
heavy budding Irvine, at least lS-ply.
Three weeks or so later, if the bud
has taken, take off the Irvine and tie
up again more loosely, il it appears
likely to cut into the bark. Cut back
the stock in the spring to force the bud
to start in March or April. When
the sap begins to rise is the best time
for cutting back the stock. ''The
annular or ring budding method is one
of the simplest and safest to use on
the walnut, and is especially adapted
to young trees two or three years of
age, and to smooth limbs of large
trees. In this method a ring is cut
right around the stock about an inch
long. Then a ring Of about the same
size Is taken from the scion, contain
ing bud, which is slipped into the
corresponding space in the stock, and
then bound tightly with soft cotton
Irvine or cloth, covering it up to ex-
clude the air. The operation should
be performed when the trees are in
full growth, during July, August or
September, and left to lie dormant
throughout the winter, to be started in
the spring,

that there has ben some tremendous
seismic disturbance in the Pacific or
that there is to be one. The other

thing otherwise observable in atmos-
pheric conditions.
There is a sort of feeling that these
conditions indicate volcanic action or
earthquakes on the Island of Hawaii,
at kilauea, or some other point on
Mauna Loa, and the next steamer due
from Hawaii is awaited with interest.
When the last steamer left there,
however, the volcano was In the same

MAIL FOR ALASKA.
So Far But One Batch Has Been For

warded Up the Yukon River.
ttle.-United States Mail Con-
tractor Richardson of Seattle, who has
an $4,000 yearly contract from the
Government to carry the mails to
Alaska for the next four years, is hav.
ing serious trouble carrying out his OBJ
legations, So far he has sent but one
mail up the river from ST. Michael,
the one taken north by the Alliance.
The Postmaster at st. Michael is
arranging TO forward the mail on out
side steamers, and the Government
will charge it to Richardson and his
bondsmen.
Richardson himself is missing. He
is supposed to be somewhere along the
Yukon arranging for winter delivery
OF the mails. No one has seen him for
some time and his present where
abouts is unknown. The miners at
st. Michael are said to be very much
worked up about the non-delivery OF
the mails and will give Richardson
warm reception ii he shows up there.
Richardson sent a man to Siberia
on the steamer Del Norte to purchase
Malamook dogs for the winter service.
The agent was unable to secure but
sixty-eight dogs instead OF 500. The
Siberian natives, it was found, raised
but few dogs on account OF their troub.
ling the deer. The CANNES purchased
were secured at Port Clarence and st.
Lawrence island.
On reaching st. Michael Richardson
was not on hand to care for the dogs.
The agent had no money to pay the
steamer freight and consequently dis
posed of them to the Alaska Com.
mercial Company.
