Feed 10 a Finish.

Never before in the history of the
trade has there been so wide margin
between habitat and prime, ripe beeves
as exists at present. The situation
offers every inducemenS for feeders to
make their cattle fat. and on the other
hand the wide range in value plainly
points to the penalty that must he
paid by those who disregard the law
Of supply and demand and persist in
crowding half-ripc cattle OH market
already over-supplled with that class.
Many of the unfinished cattle marketed
during the past few weeks would with
3sy to ninety days longer feed have

PIGS For the Dairy FARMER.

The best and most profitable way OF
disposing Of skim milk and buttermilk
is to feed them to pigs. Where but
ter is made extensively, or even on
small scale, there is opportunity for
| keeping pigs at a very slight cost. Il
the required number are not raised
upon the farm, they may bepurchased
at six weeks old, Oh at weaning time.
For & few weeks at least after weaving
they will thrive best on sweet skim
milk. Butterm;lk is also good, but
should not be fed undiluted, or scours
may result. With plenty OF warmed
milk combined with bran, shorts or
other ground feed-of which corn
should form but a small portion, If
anv-pasture if convenient, and pure
water at all times, pigs which haTere-
cel7ed good care through the mother
previous to weaving them will grow to
thrifty maturity.
The practice OF keeping over pigs or
shotes until year cid OF more is a.
most if not quite out of date. Quick
returns make the profit in raising hogs
for market. It be an exceptional
case which would warrant keeping
them longer than six to eight months.
As fast as the pigs of one lot are
fattened and sold, others should be
ready to take the places Of those dis
posed of. It is far better, in the
writer's estimation, which is based
upon considerable experience. to feed
milk to pigs rather than to calves, e1-
cept in the case of heifers or an ex.
ceptionally fine male, which it might
be desirable to raise. A pig at six
months will bring nearly as much >&Sa
steer at three times that age. At a

The Good Roads of New Jersey.

The great movement for improved
roads in the United States originated,
it is generally believed: in Essex
County. n. J., more than thirty years
ago. Some progressive men ii the
Board Of Freeholders conceived tue
idea OF building a system OF hard
roads by the macadam process, and
special act was passed constituting a
Road Board. The bulk of the cost
was assessed upon the county at
= large and was provided for in the
annual taxes. Newark paid four
ffths of this taz. There was much
opposition and constah A. protest, but
the work went resolut&s on.

he roaus ossz.la osz.lassilsaa of excellent
workmanship, and excits 4 the wonder
nd admiration of strange1g who drove
,7er them. Union County subse-
Iuently procured a law for county aid
o road building, and the work was
prosecuted there with the same !
energy and good results. This led to
he enactment Of the law for State aid,
lnder which hundreds Of miles OF new
improved roads have been built in all
sections of the State. In Essex
County tie improvement has gone on
lnder the State Aid act until the
county is a network Of good roads.
For road improvements projected for
he present year the county will pay
about S55, 1000.
The law imposes one-third of the
cost of new roads on the State, ten
per cent. on the property owners and
.he balance on the county. By the
new law townships can petition inde-
oeadentIy OF the Board of Freeholders
:or State aid, and this will promote
road building in counties which have
been backward by reason of the un-
of the county authorities
to assume the county's share OF the
cost.

The record breaker of all the record making mushers who have ever come to Sksgwav has arrived and Is at the oeel- dental. His name Is Ed Hutton, but he Is better known both here and In Juneau as Ed.

That's a great country. It's full of gold. The beach Is full of gold all the way around the Arctic coast to the mouth of the Mackenzie.
 Having staked our claims at Nome, we followed around the Arctic beach to the Mackenzie. and thence out across to Koyokuk Found TOT old Klondkers there that knew. All the creeks in the dis trict are named after June lu and Skagway girls. One man named ten creeks after one Skagwav belle.

 "There was Io7 of us who came out from Koyokok. When we struck Birch creek, we crossed country to Jack Wade creek. Some of the boys there were ready to come out to have a goOU time; 3o7 alto gether came out. And we stacked the gold right up in Dawson streets and start ed to give 'em a good time.

The seeding and garden making season are on in Skagway and other parts of Southeastern Alaska, and many permanent residents of the region are devoting their careful attention to the work.
 h Skagway and Dvea little gardens are being prepared. but the more important work of farming Is being undertaken with a vim ln the Dvea valley. Mr Nieolai. the Skagway dairyman, recently got So acres of and in Dyea. part of which he will use in growing grass or other fodder for hls cattle. Psri of the land has yet to ee cleared.
 Wm. Workman. of Dvea. was in the city yeSterdav buying oats, wheat and pO- tatoeS for seeding. He intends 10 SOW eight to ten acres ln oats, and, in order to stifien the young and growing oats, he will SOW some wEea, ln the same ground. M. Workman says:
 "ShOuld l SOW oats without wheat should put In about three bushels to the acre. but when wheat Is used should put In only about two bushels of oats. | do not know just what height the oats will reach in Dyea when cultivated, but have seen them grow there where scattered from iced boxes to be four and half feet in height. have also seen splendid Sreti- menS of timothy and clover grow along the Dvea trail from seeds that had been scattered from hay during the winter.

HORSES IN WARFARE.
Equine Quadrupeds Necessary at the
Front.


Front.
The horse is not to become oDso-
lete after all-that is, so long as there
are wars. Automobiles and electric
cars may drive him from town anu
country, but the army is still left Tor
him. One thing that the present war
in South Africa has emphasized is the
value of mobility in troops And mo-
bility can only come through mounted
infantry and mounted infantry needs
horses. Here, incidentally, lies new
market for Canadian horses, and one
that may not be unworthy of attention.
The last official report of Edwin M.
Stanton, secretary of war in President
Lincoln's cabinet, gives some faint
conception of the enormous consump-
ton of horses and mules entailed by
active hostilities on large scale dur
ing such a Titanic war as that between
the Northern and Southern states OF
the American Union, which lasted
from April, 1861, to May, 1865. The
report in question is dated Washing
ton. March 1, 1865, and contains the
following striking passage: THE sup
ply of horses and mules to our armies
has long been at the rate of 500 per
day. which is also the average rate OF
their destruction. The cavalry Of the
army of the Potomac was twice re-
mounted during the first eight months
of 1864. The resources of supply in
this country were able to bear the i'm
mense drains upon its horses and
mules, and, judging from current pri-
ces, the stock shows no symptoms OF
exhaustion or diminution. An army in
the field. we'll equipped with artillery,
cavalry and trains, requires one horse
or mule to every two men. The num-
Der Of horses and mules in our armies
is nearly equal"
II the calculation Of Mr.. Stanton. the
American secretary Of war in 1855. be
correct, 100, 900 British troops now en-
gagged in fighting the Beers would need
81, 000 horses and mules to keep them
going Philadelphia Times.
