SELLING TO ADVANTAGE.
ketman Can Expect 10 he En-
tireIy Successful.

A farmer must he skillful producer
of crops, but this is only one-half of
success. He must also be good mar.
ket man or his business will not pros.
per. There is great difference in
men in this particular; some are good
business men, others are not, and
farming just in proportion as they fail
in the latter, fail to make full success
of the business of placing their crops
on the market to best advantage. A
crop well grown is only half way to
market, and some of our best farmers
fail to make a financial success be-
cause they do not possess abilities IN
the line of selling their crops.
A good marketman needs to be a
gepial, candid. clever sort of man, but
shrewd and full of character and pur-
pose as well. He needs considerable
grit and must not be easily discour-
aged. just because the first man who
is asked to buy refuses or else offers a
price below actual market valuation
the marketman should not allow him
self to be seized with an panic and of
fer his load for less than it should
bring. He must be a man who knows
human nature, understands men ano
can meet them and work out his OWE
part well.
Cutting under in price should be
avoided, as after price has been cut
it becomes precedent for future sales
and it is difficult to raise it again upor
the old basis of trade.
A good marketman is born, not
made, to great extent. Yet any mar
can improve by care and observation
1t as certainly of the highest impor
tance that crops should be well sold az
well as well grown.-National Rural.

Birds and Insect Pests.

tits much easier to destroy birds than
insects, but as the number of birds is
reduced the insects multiply. The
wren is very useful bird and may
be induced to remain near dwelling
houses if boxes are provided for them,
but as they are unable to contend
against English sparrows the entrances
to the wren boxes should not be over
an inch in diameter, as the wren is very
small and can protect itself by going
where the sparrow cannot follow.
Every encouragement should be given
birds by feeding them and providing
suitable places for their projection and
accommodation.

Smallpox Restrictions at the
 Boundary Modified.
PRECAUTION THt RULE
Efficient Guard Maintained Against Suspicious Cases Proceeding, But Vaccination Is No Longer Re- quired.

Although the Canadian officials are still maintaining diligent guard against the introduction of smallpox from the coast to the Yukon basin by the Skagway gateway, they no longer require people passing through or leaving this city to be vaccin ated or present certificates, Anyone in healthy condition and not from smallpox infected quarter or suspected of having been exposed to the disease is permitted to proceed.
 Dr. Paree makes the inspections on the trains daily, and guards against smallpox entering the Canadian territory.
 The notice was posted several days ago that all persons passing into the Yukon country would be required to give evidence of having been recently vaccnated or to be vaccinated before they would be permitted to proceed. The effect of this notice no longer holds, but the Canadian customs officials are carefully watching for any sus- picous cases that may appear. Prepar> ations are made, should any afflicted be found, to have them quarantined at Log Cabin, eleven miles fevond the summit.
 Dr, Paree, who has charge of the watch against sm iIIpox on the road, and who Is delegated to see that no smallpox patients pass Log Cabin, states that should any be found they could be easily and we'll cared for at that point. The doctor says it is the desire to afford the maximum protec- Uion with the minimum of inconvenience to the travelling public.

Full Powered, Light Draft and Com modious Freighters To Be Built This Winter-Ship Yards Estab- lished at White Horse-The Zea- 1andian and the Bailey, Both Fast Boats To Ru n on Stewart River.

Newsspf important expansigf of service on its river division and of the proposed establishment of large shipvaiss at White Horse bV the White Pass X Yukon route is published by the White Horse Star which says:
 Adjoining the railroad yards of the White Pass & Yukon Route. in White Horse, at the north end of town, the steam boat company is putting in moderately large and completely equipped shipvard, and in connection herewith are establish ing a first class blacksmith shop and repair shop.
 ''On this yard several of the companv's steamers will be Wintered aud thoroughly overhauied and repaired. In addition to this repair work the company will build three full powerd steamers of large freight apacitv and light draft, which will be ready for service on the opening of navl- cgation. The total amount expended here will be upwards of two hundred thousand dollars.
 "Under arrangements with large trading company operating in the Stewart river country, the fast steamers Bailey and Zea> landian, will be placed on the Stewart river run next season, giving close connec- tion and quick time to the Stewart river gold fields and opening up the tra1e on terms that will afford White Horse mer- chants an opportunity of obtaining share of the business.
 The Stewart river country has been ats tracting considerable interest this summer. Three to four hundred men have been in the country, and several placer properties of promise have been under development. The Klondike Corporations steamer Flora has made four trips up the Stewart this year.

Canadians To Shorten Wint-
 CT Trail to Dawson.
NEW CUTOFF PLANNED
Overland Road To Be Made to Avoid Lake LaBarge and To Cross the Country from Selkirk to the Head- waters of Bonanza Creek

Those who have the matter of public service in charge in the Canadian Yukon are just now making preparations for winter
 The word comes from the interior that the Canadian government is to undertake the important work of building cut off for the winter trail to Dawson which will leave the Yukon near Selkirk and then run straight overland to the headwaters of the Bonanza, and down that stream into Daw- son. This cut off would avoid long bend in the river and, it is said be a saving of 75 miles. Not only this, but those bound to tine creeks from the outside would avoid the detour of having to pass through Dawson.
 It is also reported that a cut oft is to be made that will avoid Lake LaBarge. This, it is ventured, may follow the general course of the survey for the original route of the w. P. X ". extension from White Horse to SeIkirk, which runs into and along the Dalton trail for a considerable distance.
 Canadian Mail Inspector McCloud went through Skagwav this week enroute to the interior to make preparations for the hand ling of mails there this winter. 1t may be that the making of the new cut offs will have considerable to do with the arrange ments that will be necessary for the hand ling of these mails.
