DR.. sgARL AT HOME.
Former Solomon Man Tells Of Life at
Cana Nome.


SOLOMON, Oct. 26.-Dr. 0. +. Scarf
returned from Nome, Alaska, last
night and is visiting his son and
daughter here. DR.. Scarf has been
in Alaska for the greater part OF the
last four years and has been a resi-
dent Of Nome since the early part of
1900. He expects to return as soon
as communication is opened next
spring.
1t was the gold fever which led
him to the north in February, 1898,
and he was one Of the many who
crossed the Chilkoot and White passes
on the way from Skaguay to Dawson.
He was in the Dawson country when
the news Of the Nome discoveries
first got abroad, and, although neces'
sarily delayed by the shutting in OF
winter be was the first to settle In
the rich country about Nome, There,
however, be has devoted his time al
most exclusively to the practice OF
medicine, although he has holdings
in the gold diggings.
1.-The country" says DR.. Scarf, re.
ferring to the region about Nome, sis
the healthiest place in the world. !
think that is easily accounted for
from the fact that there is nothing
which would tend to produce sick
ness. There is no decay. The in
tense cold freezes all refuse matter
and the air is fresh always. There is
little loss Of life from any cause, even
deaths from cold being infr'quent.
ut is not so cold at Nome as at
Dawson, which is almost l,SOO mills
due east, but, on account CT the ex-
posed nature of the level coast the
climate is far more inclement. Every
fall we experience severe storms which
render shipping dangerous and even
destroys property and life in the
town. A year ago, in October a
whole block OF houses WAS washed
away by the high waves from the bay
and all the ships that failed to put
into the open waters Of Behring sea
were wrecked. The temperature falls
as low as 30 degrees below zero oc'
casionally, and the cold is felt more
than in Dawson, where II gets down
to 10, but which is protected by the
dense forests which cover the inland,
"Nome is town varying in popu-
lation from 1000 to 10000 people &C
cording to the time Of year"
DR.. Scarf gave many facts about the
topography Of the country, which he
says is level in that locality like Kan
sas prairie but is covered with species
Of moss. The gold country extends
all along the coast and, according to
DR.. Scarf. has only been scratched,
although gold is being taken out "by
the bucketful" every day during the
season.

"For years, suffered intense pain

Much has been said and written
with view to ascertain the best way
to raise good crop of potatoes of
good size, clean and less liable to rot.
IN the first place, never plant them on
ground made rich by manure and cul-
tivation the previous year, for on
such soil, though they grow to large
size, they will be scabby, wormy and
liable to rot and not good to eat. The
best crop ever raised was on a plat
that had been in pasture, the turf
turned under, not deep, in Septem-
Der, and left until planting time in
May. Then, without blowing, the
ground was thoroughly narrowed and
the potatoes planted just deep enough
to meet the then decayed or rotted
turf, light and mellow, applying e
large spoonful of phosphate to each
hill. The potatoes were of large or
more than middling size, and quar-
tered lengthwise, SO as to give but q
few eyes to each hill. Two rows were
left without phosphate, which plainly
showed the benefit of phosphate. The
cultivation was clean and easy, as
there were no weeds, and at harvest
there was large yield in amount,
and of large-sized, clean, handsome
potatoes, and none ever rotted. There
is no use in trying 20 raise good pota-
toes of late years by applying stable
or barn-yard manure.-E. W., in New
England Farmer.

An editor who was thoroughly tired OF

married in great style. All the elite of the

was thought that they would be more likely

"Of course, the ceremony took place in
the church, and the church was most beau
tifully decorated for the occasion. Potted
plants were borrowed here and there,
wherever. they could be secured without
making the owner mad enough to hight.
The brides young lady friends, had the
decorations in charge, and when they were
not making nosegays they were chewing the
rag about the trouble and work, and wish
ing that the bride had sense enough to get
up her own wedding. The ushers wore
w-hammer coats, parted their hair. in

walked down the aisle. The coats were
hired from a costumer, and their white
gloves came from an undertaker's, who kept
them on hand for fune1hl occasions.
