the larger end between the chain and
the logs on the near side Of the sled,
with the smaller end pointing to the
front. Raise the smaller end perpen-
dicularly, bring it over and bend it
down until it is parallel and nearly on
a level with the logs. Then by means
of a rope or a small chain fasten 1t to
the reach. Next fasten a chain to the
off reach just forward of the rear bunk.
Throw it over and fasten in precisely
the same manner. Insert another sap
ling, or "twister" as it is called, from
behind, and bring it over to the front
where it is to be fastened in the same
manner as the first This method OF
binding, if the chains are tight enough,
will hold a load of logs securely over
any road and for any length of time.
If the chains are too loose, the smaller
ends of the twisters will begin to play
up and down. Then they must be taken
out and the chains frightened. Then
the twistcrs must be inserted and Sc
cured as before.-C. o. Ormsby, in
Farm and Home.

Prosperity Among Farmers.

1 am aware that the idea prevails
that the chances are much better for
the accumulation of wealth in cities
than on the farm. This is very great
mistake. In the city small class has
a great deal of wealth and large class
is in very moderate circumstances or
in the depths of poverty. The great
mass in the city are not as well of
as those on the farm. The average
wealth of 90 per cent. of the inhabit-
ants of nearly every city in Illinois is
less than that of the surrounding coun-
try.-John T. Campbell, in Farmers
Review.

Many May starve at Cape Nome.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. 10
The steamship Elihu Thomson arrived
from Cape Nome tonight, bringing 200
passengers. many of whom are without
means. The Thomson sailed from
Nome August 2Sth, and her officers re-
port conditions but little changed.
There are about 1900 people there,
many of them in destitute circum-
stances, and as winter approaches
much uneasiness prevails among the
unfOrtunates. as they can see no pros
poets of getting away and nothing
ahead but suff ering and perhaps death.
Before the Thomson sailed from
Nome Il report reached here that rich
diggings had been struck on Bluestone
creek, this side of Cape York, and par
ties who came down from BluestOne
reported that they had found plenty of
dust. This caused Il stampede and all
small steamers and schoOners at Nome
headed for the scene of the new strike,
loaded with passengers, while many
started out in small boats. 1t is said
by the time the stampede is over and
the last steamer of the season sails
south. Nome will be almost depopu-
lated.
The captain of the Thomson says the
first claims located at Nome are show
ing up we'll. it having taken the entire
season to place them in working order.
Nome is practically free from sickness,
smallpox and other diseases having
disappeared except among the Indians
at the village south Of Nome, where a
number of natives are down with
smallpox. and with their method of
handling disease the village is likely
to be wiped out.

Sheep on Alfalfa Pasture.

". B. Baldwin of Fowler, Colo, in
communication to the Colorado
Agricultural college, says:
We have had considerable expert
ence in pasturing sheep on alfalfa. AT
first we lost quite number, but final
ly found that the loss would be large
ly reduced if we left the sheep on
the alfalfa day and night and kept the
alfalfa large. We also found it best
to have the Sleeps stomach empty
when put on alfalfa and then not take
them out even If they do bloat. Our
Theory is that If the stomach is empty
there will be room for large amount
Of gas If they do bloat, and as soon
as they begin bloating they will stop
eating and but few will die. This
theory Is altogether different from the
general opinion, but it is all right.
Sheep must not change pasture. They
must stay on the same pasture all
summer If you wish to have success.
Good alfalfa will keep about eight
owes and their lambs per acre. 1t
should be irrigated often so as to keep
the alfalfa from getting dry. If the
alfalfa should get dry and you have
to change the sheep to another field,
you may expect losses. Shropshires are
the hardest sheep have had on pas
ture or on range. Lambs do not bloat
on alfalfa pasture until they are old
enough to wean. Alfalfa is certainly
the best thing to lamb on for spring
lambs. We are now (January, 1S99)
having our first experience in lamb
ing ewes in the winter. We have
1,10o ewes and 80 far have saved
about ninety-five per cent of tho
lambs.

Valuable Tree.

Eucomia illinoides, found In North
China, is reported by Technische Be-
richte as a new rubber tree. the fruit Of
which is said to contain 27 to 81 per
cent of gutta percha of excellent quail
ity. Until now 8utta percha has been
obtained in Dutch India almost exclu-
sively, and experiments in transplant
ing the trees into the French colonies
have proved failures. In Java the con-
ditions for the growing of rubber trees
are such that they can only be culti-
waited successfully in certain localities
The discovery Of a rubber tree that
will bear transplatinx without injury
is consequently Of great importance.

Winter wheat for Nebraska.

Press Bulletin Ia. Nebraska expert
ment station, sayH: In the fall OF
1896 thirty-seven varieties of winter
OF these, all but three varieties killed
out so badly that it was not consid
cred worth while to harvest them.
The three varieties that lived through
were Turkey Red. Big Frame and Cur
rell. In the fall of 1898 there were
sown more than hundred varieties,
and only five came through the winter
in good condition. Those just men-
toned were three of the five. Last fall
forty-two varieties ware sown, OF
which seven did not terminate and
nineteen winterkilled. The So me three
varieties were among the best but the
yields have not yet been ascertained.
In order to test the relative merits OF
the seed thus selected and that o. the
same varieties from some other sec
tions OF the country, seed of the i'ur-
key Red variety was brought from tho
Ohio and Iowa experiment stations
and Of the Turkey from Kansas. The
Red grown here. Seed Of the Currell
variety was also obtained from the
Maryland experiment station. None OF
these did so well as the Nebraska
grown varieties, with the possible ex-
ception Of Kansas Turkey. Contrary
to expectations, this wheat matured
earlier than the Nebraska Turkey Red.
1t did not lodge and was not badly in
fected with rust In these respects 1t
was as good as the Nebraska-groWn
wheat. Both the Ohio and Iowa Tur-
key Red lodged and rusted badly and
matured later than the Nebraska Tur-
key Red. The Currell from Maryland
made ranker growth than the Ne
braska Currell, but lodged and rusted
badly. 1t is the aim OF the expert
ment station to extend the area OF
winter-wheat culture over as large
portion of the state as possible. To
this end very large number of va
rieties Of winter wheat have been test
ed by the station during a period OF
several years. Those strains OF Tur-
key Eed and Big Frame varieties that
have been grown on the station farm
for aeversl years have proven them
selves very hardy. Seed wheat Of eth
er one of these varieties will be sent
out on application. free Of cost except
transportation charges, as long as the
supply lasts. to parties living north Of
the Platte river and also to those west
of the one hundredth meridiah.-T. L
Lyon, Director.
