THE ALASKAN VESUVIUS.
The Glare from the SpOutinS Lava
Turns Night Into Dny-NOt
Yet Named.

Further information of the active vol
cano discovered in the Atlin gold dis
t rict in British Columbia is to the effect
that the volcano furnishes the miners
Il light by which to work their claims
Turing the long darkness of the Arctic
winter. The glare from the spouting
lava, reflected back against the sky,
gives an almost continuous twilight to
the upper end of the Atlin district.

nave stories to tell of the volcano, but
from DR.. w. B. Kinsloe and 7. H. James,
mining men of Denver, who have been
making an examination of the Atlin
country, comes the best and apparent
ly most authentic description of the
Alaskan Vesuvius.
The mountain in eruption" said
Or. Kinsloe, lis the second in range
of four towering peaks lying about so
miles due south OF Lake Gladies and a
slightly shorter distance from Atlin
City. These mountains are of at least
l4,0O0 feet altitude. the crater resting
slightly below its three brother peaks.
1T was in the early part of October
that the smoke was first seen issuing
from the mountain. With the thought
of a volcano furthest from their minds,
the miners attributed these first signs
Of an eruption to clouds hanging about
the peak. So constant, however, was
the cloud that it became an object of
daily observation from Atlin City.
Then, on November s, the mountain
burst forth in flames. Through the
smoke cloud there shot a stream of
molten lava, powders and ashes that
frightened the sky for radius of near
ly 40 miles and sent its reflected light
through the darkness down upon the
men working on Birch, Discovery, Nc
Kee, Pine and other creeks. the sides
of whose banks face towards the vol
cano.
"a panic ensued among the miners
upon them.
"The ashes fell to a depth of several
inches and the stream down the noun
tain side increased in magnitude. The
fall of ashes later stopped and the men
returned to work
"When we left the miners were work

Some Funny Things Are Found in the
"Epr Sale or Exchange"
Column.

There is more than one way of get
ting rid Of some article you don't want
and getting hold of something you
really need, or think you need, which
is the same thing. If a man owns dog

have to sell the animal and then use
that money in purchasing the time
piece. That was the way it Jas done
years ago, but the For Sale or En-
change" column in the Sunday news
papers have changed the method Of
operation. Pianos are exchanged for
sealskins and jewelry. Books are
taken in trade for silverware for the
table and harnesses. Sign painting
goes for clothes, and stenography for
bicycles. One young woman adver-
tises: "First-class teacher with best
of references, will give stage or society
dancing lessons for dry goods, shoes
or anything useful" Another person
says: "Opals or amethysts' for silver

INTERESTING TO FARMERS.
County, Idaho, Has to Say Re-
harding Western Canada.

Mr.. T. A. Tolman, of Lacombe, Al
berta, N. w. T., a former resident Of
Cascia county, Idaho, who moved to
western Canada in July, 1894, write as
follows:

nearly all my life and I am convinced
that you can raise crops 40 per cent.
cheaper here than where came from.
My capital at present, counting every
thing, is about $4,000. The yield of my
grain all round in 1897 was 60 bushels
per acre. This year (1s9s) yield of
wheat per acre 37A bushels, oats so
bushels, barley IS and potatoes 400 per
acre. I consider this is a much better
country for man than where I came
from, provided he is industrious. You

Sailing CLOVER HAY,
Rather to De Encouraged
Than Condemned.

The farmer who guides himself by
what he reads about sailing clover hay
will probably become confused, says a
writer in the Stockman. One authority
says never salt tit is dangerous to do
so. Another no less confidently assures
us that it should be sailed; he has al
ways done so, likewise has his father.
Plainly when doctors differ the individ-
ual may use his reason about the mat
ter, and If possible decide for himself.
The objection against salt is that it
is deliquescent and therefore an in
crease of moisture is to be expected
from its use. After many years of OBJ
servation and experience we have con-
cluded that for us sailing clover hay is
very desirable. We have cndeavored to
arrive at this conclusion intelligently
by repeated tests both in the NOW and
stack. The clover which is sufficiently
cured to keep without sailing will not
suffer from heat if salt is applied. While
it is true that salt is deliquescent, yet
it is altogether probable that this draw
back is balanced by the preserving quail
ity, for why should salt cease to pre-
serve hay when it is applied to other
commodities for this purpose? Yet we
can admit, if necessary-which our OBJ
servation does not warrant-that salt
ing does not materially preserve the
hay, and still claim our case. The pref
erence of the stock for the sailed hay
is apparently sufficient guide. Suppose
the individual had to partake of his food
unsalted, would he not make an obiec-
ton? Neither would he be reconciled
to this If his salt came in daily or week
ly in stallments. ~ r,

sheep Need Dry BEDDING.

Many people who keep sheep Under
sheds on an earthen floor in cold wealth
err make the mistake of not providing
bedding enough, thinking that it will
interfere with properly packing the
manure which is trodden into hard
mass by them. But little dry straw
should be scattered over the floor at
night, and it will be none the worse
if it is the refuse of what the sheep have
picked over during the day. Even the
fattening sheep will eat some straw
each day as change of food, and it will
select the upper part of the stalk near
the head. Dat straw is the best for
this purpose. The sheep is very impa-
tient of wet, and besides, it is injurious
to the wool to have it soiled by manure.
If the ends of the wool are closed by
filth this stops its growth, just as it
does on the tags, which, even after they
have been secured. are not worth as
much as clean wool from other parts of
tt body.-American Cultivator.

GROUND PLAN.

gates working with lever from the
alley should be suspended above the
troughs, to shut the hogs away from
them while putting in the feed.
A platform the width of the alley,
with the proper incline and at the end
of the alley most accessible to a wagon,
furnishes very convenient way of
loading and unloading bogs. The
small doors opening from each pen to
the alley makes such platform avail
able. The location of a piggery should
be high and dry, and southern ex-
posture is desirable because more sun
shine, especially in winter, is thus made
available. The pen should be reason
ably warm, SO that close budding of
the swine will not be necessary in or
der to be comfortable. Good ventila-
ton without direct draft is imperative.

In working the farm economic in
labor and time. A penny saved is
two pennies earned.
Put weather strips on the doors and

1t looks very much as if there would
be scarcity of corn. It is noticeable
that many cribs are empty.
Send the adulterator of food prod
ucts to the penitentiary, if possible,
and stop this infamous work.
The corn crop is not nearly so large
as the government has said it was, and
a good deal of it is lacking in quality.
Clover hay, an exchange says, is not
good for work horses, but is for idle
ores. Glover hay is good for any an
imal.
The most essential substance for pro-
noting egg production is nitrogen.
This is best fed to hens in the shape OF
lean meat.

the outer end is four or five inches high
er than when closed, and they will close
when the pressure of the water is re-
moved. There is but one bolt in each
board, SO that the gate will give up
when open. When the gate is open the
gate head is behind the post and will
not catch any drift. At C there is tight
panel running at an angle of As degrees
with the creek, which conducts all of
the rubbish through the gates. The
posts can be anchored and fastened to
the bank so they will be perfectly Sc

PUMPKIN sw1ND1Es.:
Has Contributed WOnders'to
Oregon County Fairs.

"Let no one open his mouth from
establishment the next time he sees a
big 100 or 2o0-pound pumpkin at a
county fair. It's all fake, and the
pumpkins are not on the square" Thus
spoke man who had recently been in
Prineville, the pumpkin center of Ore
gon. He further relieved his mind to
an Oregonian reporter as follows:
"Now, I have always at county fairs
strous squashes and rutabagas and
pumpkins, and thought how great is
nature, slightly aided by mans skill
in obtaining high state of culture.
But I always thought these big veg
etables were square, not in form, but
that they were ON the square,, and
now l know that we always have been
jobbed.
"Will you believe me when tell you
that l found a man out in Prineville
who had established an industry of
furnishing pumpkins of given weight
to ambitious farmers who desire tn
take prizes at the county fairs? How
does he grow them? Simple enough,
when you know how. This pumpkin
manufacturer feeds the pumpkins
milk, gust good, rich milk, and when
the pumpkin has grown to the weight
called for in his order from the am
bilious farmer he cuts it from the vine
and turns it over to the one ordering it.
This is the manner in which he does
it: Every day he fills quart measure
with milk, places it on the ground,
and connects it with slit in the pump
kin vine with rubber tube. The vine
draws in the milk by capillary or some
other attraction, and the vine thrives
and it grows to enormous proportions.
1T was extremely interesting to go
out in the evening to the pumpkin fac
tory and see the owner feed the pump
kins. The vines had become so used
to it and appeared to like the milk so
well that they actually rustled as the
man with the milk approached, and the
big, broad leaves waved in a transport
OF delight; and, when the milk had
been consumed, the vines settled down
for the night as contentedly as band
of cows chewing their cuds. Portland
