Cured Of Hernia.

The following letter has been received bv the DAILY ALASKAN, and publication requested:
 Skagway, Alaska, Dec. 22, 1890. To the Editor of the DAILY ALASKAN:
 Last September, while full boiling the track near Log Cabin, sustained a stran- gull ted hernia. or what Is commonly called a rupture, which caused me great pain.
 obtained a pass, came 10 Skagwav and purchased truss, which, as a makeshlft, answered the purpose after a fashion. However, was not satisfied and concluded to have Dr. Whiting, the railroad surgeon, perform an operation. went to the rail- road hospital and was carefully prepared by MT. Parker, the steward, for the opera tion. Four weeNs ego today Dr. Whiting, assisted by Ul. Bailey, after placing me under an anesihetie, made an ineiSlon two and ons.halt inches in length, picked up the muscles of wounded hernia and took four stitches. In just two weeks was able to sit up, and today was discharged from the hospital and pronounced cured; and can and do willingly bear witness that the cure Is complete. True, the in- csion ls a little sensitive vet, but lt i'm proves every day. 1 would recommend any person suffering from hernia to have a skllliul surgeon cure them, and throw their trusses away, as [ did mine, Re- speetfully.

stations and eight local" stations for the
Improvement of the sugar cane will be es-
tablished on the island of Barbados. The
object of the central stations will be the
growing of seedlings and improvement of
varieties, and the carrying on of fertilizer
experiments. The more promising varie-
ties will be given a practical trial at the
local stations TO test their adaptability and
value on different soils and localities.
Experiments on similar lines have been ar
ranged for at Antigua and st. Kits, and
the work at Trinidad largely extended.
The botanic stations at Tobago Grenada.

economic plants. introduce new or little
known plants for experimental cultivation,
conduct experiments on the improvement
of sugar cane, distribute information, and
send out lectures for institute work.

royal commission recommended the estab-
lishment of central factories equipped with
the best machinery. and the department
expects to establish one or two expert
mental factories at an early date.
The new department will also promote
agricultural education in the islands,
which heretofore has received little at
teltion. An agricultural school has been
established at Dominica in connection
with the botanic station there, and others
will be started at ST. Vincent, st. Lucia,
and St Kitts-Nevis as soon as the neces-
sary land is obtained. Grants will be
offered to enable certain institutions TO
employ teachers in agricultural science
and possibly a number of scholarships will
be provided for the most promising pupils;
and in cooperation with the central edu-
cational authorities in each colony the
teachers in the elementary schools viii be
given a course of instruction in the prin-
ciples of agriculture to enable them to
give simple instruction and conduct school
