RESOURCES AND NEEDS OF ALASKA.

The report Of Secretary of the Interior

which they must be taker. piecemeal.
Six pages are devoted to Alaska, con-
| oensed from the extended report of Gov
ernor John g. Brady. AS very little is
known Of this vast territory some of the
facts presented ought to be Of general
| interest:
The total population of Alaska, ac-
cording to the census of 1900 is 1882, of
whom 1886 are natives. The Increase in
the population during the last census pc
Rod was 31.540, or 1874 per cent. The area
OF Alaska is approxlmat ely 590,SS4
square miles, or about one-sixth of the
whole territory OF the United States; 1t
embraces numerous lofty mountain
chains and valleys. extensive plains, and
contains forests of valuable timber. The
average number of persons to each 100
/ square miles is approximately eleven.

uay. sill; Juneau, 1854, and Sitka, 1886.
The permanent settlement of Alaska,

| liberal laws KY congress which VIII en-

The Inauguration of territorial form
of government the governor does not ad-
yocate at this time. To do so 1t would
he necessary to provide funds for the
running thereof by local taxation, and
those who have made homes in the dis
trict are too few in number, he states,
| to bear the burden of such a tax levy.
Attention is called to the agricultural
possibilities Of Alaska. Market gardens
are now found near Skaguay, Dawson,
Eagle, and at other points in central and
southern Alaska along the banks Of the
great rivers there are vast tracts of ara

but along the southern coast the fire.
uuent rains usually render the drying
of hay a difficult matter. In this re-
gion the silo is used with success. The
few agricultural experiment stations in
Alaska have demonstrated their useful
ness. For the extension of their work
| the governor recommends that the
amount appropriated for their support
be increased to 100000.
In the opinion of the governor the
Alaskan fur trade is doomed to extinc-
| ton. The sea otter and the fur seal are
fast disappearing. The beaver has been
driven to the remote districts. The arc
| tic fox, the bear and the mink seem to
be the only fur-bearing animals which
are still found in considerable numbers
| In Alaska. The enacting of stringent
game law by congress, in order to af-
ford better protection to the moose,
caribou, deer and other large game, is
advocated.
The salmon industry is fiourishing and

creasing. The pack for the year 1900 was

However the railway magnates by
their greed in consolidating are invit-
ing trouble. When roads are known to
be competitors, owned and operated by
different groups of men. the public will
tolerate great measure of abuse in
the matter of freight and passenger
rates, but once consolidated and there
will always be present the fear of a
monopoly encroaching upon the rights
of the people. With these great lines
known to be operated by one large
group of owners whose ayowed purpose
in consolidating has been to operate

state commission has not now the
requisite authority. Such gigantic
combinations as proposed by the
Northern Securities Company may be
in the interests of the general good but
by their very magnitude are threat
ening and will cause constant public
alarm. Morgan with all his millions
will yet see how powerless he is before
the millions of free voters in this
country who. when aroused will have

Worth Knowing.

A very large sow about to farrow

less the breeder gives her attention
at narrowing time some of the young
are likely to be ovcrlaid, mashed.
The young calf is not always able
to get about soon after his arrival.
He is therefore at the mercy of mis-
fortune. Help him along until he
understands what his mothers
udder was made for.
When examining horses teeth
for soundness or for cribbing, re-
member that the presence of a dis
agreeable odor means something,
even though evidence OF unsound-
ness is lacking.
Make pet OF every calf. Don't
make nuisance of it, however. A
gentle calf never has to be "broken"
for mixer. 1t is the same with a
colt. Train him from colthood up,
and when he is old enough to work
he will be ready for business.

The most convenient nest boxes l
have ever seen were made in the
following manner: l raised the
ground floor by filling q inches with
cinders. Partitioned off S feet on
south end. Built my boxes on the
floor across hen house, ~ by ID
inches wide and ID inches high. Put
strips on sides, in center, for board
to slide in to make double nests, Civ
ing each a space I4xI4 inches. Then
made lid on top of boxes with
laths, to admit air and be used in
gathering eggs and cleaning nests.
On south end of boxes l made a
small door on each box IIxI4 inches,
with leather hinges, to open down
ward. When hen wants to sit,
place the partition in place, making
a double box to the south for sitter
and the north end for layers. Then
open small door on south end and
biddie can come out and eat, drink
and take dust bath, which l al
ways have on hand, and no other
hens will bother the sitter.

How to Make Charcoal.

In answer to your correspondence
question as to burning charcoal, 1
can tell how it is done in the neigh
borhood of Galveston, Tex. 1t is
used there by the housewives in
doing their weekly ironing, being
burned in small clay furnaces made
for the business, the iron being set
on the live Goals to heat. In burning
kiln of coal the burner begins by
planting a stake in the ground 10 or
IL feet tall. Pitch pine is piled
around the foot of it, then the wood,
generally sticks 4 feet long, either
round or split, are set on end around
it, leaning to the center so they will
not fall, building it as large around
as wanted. When the first course,
or base, is completed another is built
on top of it in the same manner, so

of an inverted cone, small opening

ing the leaves with 4 or inches OF
dirt, all but small opening at the
top to let the tire get started. Tie a
pineknot on the end of long pole
and set fire to the pine in the center
of the kiln. Let it burn till well
afire, then cover closely and watch
night and day to keep it from break
ing out. Leave half dozen very
small openings near the base for air.
1t takes about week to burn FIVE

Chicken Cholera.

Cholera runs a very rapid course.
A bird may look well in the morn
ing, be sick at night and dead the
next day. The first symptom is
slight, watery diarrhea, lacking in
color az the hours go by. With this
the bird is sluggish and not easily
moved by any motion of the owner.
1t is inclined to remain standing
wherever it may be, with its tail
dropped. There is a roughpess to
the plurnage and the fluff below the
vent is wet with the diarrheal dis
charge. The wings droop, the head
is carried low and even the eyelids
are half closed. There is no desire
for food, but the bird is decidedly

FOR THE FARMER.
Mulchinq.

With nearly or quite all newly
set trees and plants, mulching dur
ing the Summer * advisable. Prop
erly applied in good season good
mulch equalizes conditions, and al
lows the plants to adapt themselves
to change. 1t mechanically breaks
the force of rains and prevents them
from compacting the soil. A con-
siderable amount of atmospheric am
monia deposited by rains is retained
and mulching aids in storing of nj
trogen in the soil.
With all growing plants a certain
amount of water in the soil is neces-
sary to the best conditions for chemi.
cal action, to make the largest
amount of plant food available and
to enable the fibrous roots of plants
to feed to the best advantage. Null
ching cools and equalizes the tenn
perature near the surface, and in a
large measure prevents injury from
the hot, dry weather of midsummer.
One of the best plans of manage
ment for all fruit plants the first
year and for fruit trees at least the
first two years alter setting out is to
give thorough cultivation during the
early part of the growing season,
say up to the early part OF June, or
even little later, depending some
what upon the season, and then ap
ply good mulch.
In nearly all cases better results
in every way can be secured by hav-
ing the surface of the soil thoroughly
fined and level before applying the
mulch, and then taking care to ap-
ply it evenly. An object in apply.
ing a mulch is to aid the soil to retain
moisture, and to do this most fully
the mulch should be applied before
the soil becomes too dry or the
weather too hot.
Almost any kind of coarse litter
will do, but when it can be secured
without too much trouble old straw
or old bagasse from a sorghum mil
IL rather the best. Both lie close t6
the ground, and will protect rathe,
better than anything else. But ole
swale hay, corn stalks or other
coarse material may be used.
With small fruit plants, the bes
plan is to cover the whole surface O
the ground. But with trees two anc
half or three feet from the stem o
the tree or diameter of FIVE or sil
feet will be sufficient.

thirsty. The desire for water is off
set by sluggishness and fowl may
be seen starting for the water dish,
then stopping on the way. Severe
cases show some irritation of the
throat and nostrils, slight dis
chare appearing in the mouth and
eyes. At the end of the first day the
bird is decidedly weak. The comb
gets darker than in health, passing
from red to purple as the disease
progresses.

Grow a Forage Crop.

| 1t is an item to keep al much stock
on the farm as can be fed to good
advantage. While it is only in ex-
ceptional cases that it is advisable to
buy any considerable quantity OF
feed, it is also fully as important not
to let any feed GO to waste.
During the growing season pastur-
age is the principal dependence of
the farmer for feeding the greater
part Ct the stock, especially the
sheep, growing cattle, growing
horses, mich COWS and pigs. But it
as many head OF stock are kept as
can be pastured to advantage with
out allowing any feed to GO to waste
during the early part of the growing
season, either a part of the stock
must be disposed of before hot, dry
weather sets in, or some provision
must be made for supply of food
that can be used to make up any
deficiency in the pastures. This can,
usually, best be done by growing

The second growth of clover is a
good crop for this purpose, as is also
millet. The principal objection to
these is that after d sufficient growth
is made they are inclined to mature
too quickly. On this account sowed
corn, cane, Kaffir corn or some crop
OF this kind is often preferable.
Either of these crops not only stays
green considerable length of time,
but they can be made to yield a much
larger amount of green feed than
to be cut and fed green they may be
cured and stored away for use later

worked into good filth in order to

One advantage in planting 50 as to

are all that will be necessary; and
these should be given during the
early stages OF growth. Seed enough

be done whether sown broadcast or
in drills.

crop of this kind that is convenient
