CANADIANS BARRED.
Cannot Absorb All Privileges and
Lands in Alaska

Washington, July 13.-The secretary
of the interior has approved instruc-
lions for the guidance of local officers
in their administration of the act in ex-
tending the homestead laws and pro-
viding for the right of way for railways
in the district of Alaska. These in
stTuctiOns were prepared by Comnis-
sioner Hartmann of the general land Of
fee and constitute the first promulga-
ton of the act approved May IA, 1898.
An important ruling is to the effect
that the section is imperative which
extends to citizens of the Dominion of
Canada the same rights as are extended
to our citizens in British Columbia in
regard to mining lands. The only priv
ilege extended to citizens of the United
States by Canadian laws is the per-
mission to lease mineral lands. Our
laws do not provide for leasing such
land, and the recent act of congress
provides that mo greater rights Shall
be thus accorded to citizens of the
Dominion of Canada than citizens of
the United States may enjoy in the Dis
trict of Alaska" 1t therefore results
that the section question is lnenectIVe.
A road sixty feet in width, parallel
to the shore line as near as practIcabIe,

ton occurs in the prOvisO relating to the
reservation between claims abuttlng on

lie use as highway along the shore
line of navigable waters, it is to be held
TO relate to the lands entered or pur-
chased under this act as well as to
reserved lands. otherwise it would
serve little or no purpose. This reser-
walton Will not prevent the location and
survey of a claim down to the shore
line. for in such cases the claim will be
subject to this servitude and the area
of the highway VIII be computed as a
part of the area entered and purchased.
The interior department may author
ize the sale of timber under certain con-
ditions, but no timber taken from the
public lands in this way can be eX
ported from the District of Alaska. Act
ual settlers, miners, etc, may use not
to exceed enc hundred dollars worth of
timber from public lands each year
free of expense. Land offices have been
established at Sitka, Nulatao and
Circle.

NOT HERO-MARTYRS.
Admiral Cervera Will Be Shown All
Necessary Courtesy.

Washington. July 13.-Capt Cooper,
superintendent of the naval academy
at Annapolis, spent some time with Sc
cretary Long, going cover the question
of caring for the Spanish naval prison
ers, including Admiral Cervera, who are
to be quartered at the academy. A
complete understanding was reached
by which the Spanish officers will re-
ceive every consideration consistent
with their rank.
Capt. Cooper stated that if he were
to remain at the academy he would in
vite Admiral Cervera into his own
house, but as he is about to go to
another duty. he could not extend this
courtesy to the defeated admiral While
relieving the prisoners from all undue
humiliation, there will be no DISPOSE
ton to bestow such ELUSIVE courtesy
upon them as to place them in the light
of martyrs.

NEWFOUNDLAND COPPER.
A Scotch Company Secures Options
on Several Mines.

Montreal. July Blowing to the in
creasing demand for and higher price
of copper, which is due in great part to
the extensive use of this metal in cleo

ancient colony is said to be the sixth

The Harris Sulphur and Copper COM

this fact, has secured options on sew

were secured by an expert sent out to
examine them. These properties in
clude the Colchester, Roberts Arm and
Sunday Cove mines, all situated on
Notre Dame Bay, as well as a lease of

 When the farmer can be convinced that there is money in changing his way of feeding, and that also the health of his herds will be improved by this change, then the demand of the English for certain fancy brands will be met. ~
 We can curtail to our advantage the purchase of mill feeds by a systematic use of clover and grass, as well as roots, all of which we can grow cheap ly. What we want to learn is, that the hog will thrive on other foods beside grain, and that these other foods, in connection with grain, will give us healthier herds and a better quality of pork.-John M.

ALFALFA FOR HORSE FEED.

have long held the opinion that we
 are apt to cut our alfalfa too early, says
 an alfalfa grower of Colorado. In the spring when our alfalfa gets up high we are apt to think it is ready to cut
 and we go to work and cut it before it is out in full bloom. Then for fear we
 lose some of the leaves we put it up little green. It goes into the stacks
 and heats, and I have often noticed when raising forkful kind of blue smoke will raise. That blue smoke in- variably will give a horse cough, and it is very apt to give it the heaves. But my practice has been to let the alfalfa get fully in blossom before I cut it. Then rake it and put in small cocks tolerably green and let it cure there la few days before putting in the stack.
 When thoroughly dry it is stacked.
 The tops of the cocks will bleach out and look white but there is moisture enough in the stack to bring it back to
 ;ts color. have never had any bad effects from feeding horses on alfalfa,
 provided the hay was matured before cut and then thoroughly dried before stacked. I have made experiments on
 tolS polAI WnCu lily dlldild was lISt in the bud I cut two or three acres in the field, dried it and stacked it; and I left another acre right by the side of it stand for ten days longer till it was in full blossom. It did not look a great deai heavier; but when came to dry it found that ten days growth had made more hay and more pounds than any other ten days of the season. It will not shrink nearly so much because 1t is matured and it does not sour in the stack.
 l think that the proper way to find out when to cut alfalfa is to look at the roots. When alfalfa is matured and ready to cut, the sap leaves the stalk and the new growth starts from the root It may have been noticed that the stubble of a piece of early cut alfalfa will lie bare for week before the new growth starts. In other pieces new shoots might be seen coming two or three inches high before the hay is hauled off I do not believe the crop should be cut until the sap has first left the stalk. When the root begins to start for the other crop it is time to cut. If I were feeding milk COWS it might be different, but for horse feed ing will take two good alfalfa crops of: the ground and then pasture my horses there in the field and get more benefit from it. The third crop does not usually pay for cutting, curing and hauling.
