 Valley.

Copper Center, June I've had a continuous stream of mushers this week, both on foot and horseback. All were affected with the same complication-l am "So tired"
 Oklahoma Bill the well known merchant, one mule and three other Missourians arrived here last Sunday morning. Bills horse managed to fall through bridge on the Tonsina trail and Bill's bun dle of bills were soaked little, but they were still readable enough for collection purposes.

 MT. Schrader and outfit arrived here last Sunday. The Geological party camped on the other side of the Copper river moved toward Mt. Drum yesterday. MT. Schradcr left for the north and was at the Tazlina on June 3rd.
 One of the Geological survey par ty found Il peculiar specimen of quartz the other day that led to an argument regarding its mineral composition. The matter was quickly settled by the arrival of one oi the packers who identified the specimen as one of Cal Lmtz's cream biscuits.
 Nels Jepson has been promoted from cook to 2d class packer. Com missary Sergt. Morrow and staff were here Tuesday.
 Little George Davison did it with his bow and arrow.
 Trail from Tazlina to Gakona is in horrible shape. Some of the government pack train had to be pulled out with ropes.

The Yukon mail arrived veSter- day morning, nineteen days out. The trail was very bad in many places on account of melting snow anh slush. The trip from the Ga kona was made in 52 hours. which if very fast time, especially when considering that it took hours to come from No. 3 to Wortman's. The Santa Ana was awaiting the mail and left in short time after its arrival.

From Chittyna.

Tana River, May 6-We are camped here on tributary of the Chittyna, sledding being all gone. Messers. Finch, Grennig, Stevens, Golden. Hix and family, Fulkerson, and Bennett are camped here. Snow is all gone on the flats and is going fast on the hillsides. w. .Hawes, who was out on hunting expedition, Was our guest few days ago. He said all the parties interested on the Golconda were in readiness for sluicing at the first opportunity and that the Monahan and Banta Co.,. unlimited. were busily engaged in locating their "overlooks."
 Monahan creek, on the Chittvna side, appears to be far superior to any other stream in the district. The wash is slate and quartz with a small amount of granite and oc- casionally boulder of mica shist. As soon as the ground thaws out we will be able to learn more of the value of the country.
 l have been requested to tell you some of the particulars of the trouble over the loss of caches. Last fall the Monahan and Banta party made a cache at McGriel creek, near siwash camp, and on returning found it gone. The par ties who were accused of taking it went into the country light to get d claim and only remained few days, when they returned to Val lez for an outfit. It is more likely that the Indians, who were so short of grub that three starved to death, would take this cache, than that two men who were only pass ing through should do so. They heard of these accusations and went like gentlemen to ask for an explanation. It was then and there denied that any such charges had been made, and shortly after d miners meeting was held and the two men ordered to leave the camp. They are deeply wounded in their feelings about this affair.
 w. k. Hawes almost cut his in- dex finger off with q double bitted axe, but it is getting well rapidly.
 Chas. w. Bruce, ex-deputy mar shal at Sunrise, who shot prisoner at Ellamar. after arresting him, was found guilty at Juneau and given four months for assault and battery and eight months for assault with d deadly weapon. This time will be spent at Sitka.

Good eomrade mine, l do not care

And wander free beneath the sky,
Hale Brethren of the sun and air.
The morn awaits US, and the noon;
Aye; eVen till the peer Of moon,

bee,
with reed and vine, with grass and
tree,
Our apirits shall be close in tune.
And well l know that we shall bring
Back from our outland gypsying
largess captured from the mirth
Aud lovingness of mother-earth
Whose soul is ever like the spring.
Then grip the pilgrim staff. Altar
THE hills and hermit hollows are;
The sun pours round us virgin gold,
And from yon violet hight, behold,
THE Unknown beckons like star!

Show the audience an apparently
blank sheet of white paper, touch it
with a glowing match, and in a short
time you have figure burnt out Of
the paper.
The preparation Of such fire drawing
sheets is simple, and everybody with
a little talent for drawing can produce
them at small expense.
Dissolve a tablespoonful of saltpeter
in tumbler of water and draw with
the help Of a pointed brush an outline
figure on thin white paper, and put it
aside to dry. The drawing on the
paper will be invisible. Then light a
match, blow it out Immediately, and
touch a certain point in the outline
figure (Which we have marked secret
ly) with the glowing match. The salt
peter will catch fire Immediately and
burn along the line drawn with the
brush, burning out the figure as 1t
goes along.

Sowing Crimson Glover.

The seeds Of crimson clover, when
sown in corn, are put in at the last
cultivation of the corn, in July or Au-
gust, according to locality and the
growth of the corn. 1t is the general
practice to simply scratch the seed in
and while this is often sufficient it re-
suits in loss in seasons when drought
prevails or even when the season is
only a little more than ordinarily dry.
Twelve to fifteen pounds of seed should
be used per acre, and it should be put
in just before the last cultivation of
the corn so that the latter process will
cover it well. OF course it will not
stand the winter in all sections, but
If handled in the manner suggested
it will do we'll in most sections where
the red clover succeeds. The feeding
value of clover hay is high, as is it's
fertilizing value, to say nothing of the
value of having a clover crop on the
soil during the winter, so that every
farmer should make great efforts to

Fruits on Rented Farms.

The Metropolitan and Rural Home
gives the following sensible advice
Fruits should be planted and kept up
on rented farms. There is no reason
why landlord should not take interest
and see that the tenants are supplied
with small fruits, grapes, etc.-The
leases should be for long time and
plants and vines should be furnished,
the renter to plant and take care Of
them. Strawberries fruit the year aft
err planting, raspberries the second
year, blackberries and grapes the third
year and tree fruits from the third to
the seventh year There is no reason
why both landlord and tenant should
not take an interest in these things.

Quality of Eggs.

We often hear people say that eggs
from some breeds of fowls are richer
than those from others, and that those
with dark shells are richer than those
with white shells. Such differences, or,
rather, the source of such differences
is purely imaginary. Neither the breed
nor the color of the shell affect the
quality Of the egg. 1t is the food, and
that alone, which affects the flavor and
delicate quality of the egg. If hens
are carefully fed ON wholesome foods
they will remain healthy, and their
eggs will be very different from those
laid by poorly conditioned hens.

Chance for Eastern Farmers.

AohNC AoI II drmGTSs
The high price of cattle is leading
many of our New England farmers to
raise their calves and to use more
steers and oxen on the farm; and, in
fact, to be in line to have more cattle
to sell year by year. This is healthy
sign for New England agriculture, as
nothing seems to be such clear gain as
turning off pair or two of fat cattle
every year. Cattle raising has been too
much neglected in the New England
States during the past twenty years,
and it is a pleasure to note that on
many farms cattle husbandry is again
coming to the front. No better beef in
the world is raised than that which is
pastured on New England hillsides,
even if it topped off with Western corn,
though we believe that cattle hus-
bandry will lead to large areas of corn
fodder and corn to be harvested in the
grain. Nothing seems to improve the
farm faster than increased attention to
the producing of beef and raising the
necessary fodder crops and grain crops.

Facts About Eggs.

Eggs boiled twenty minutes are more
easily digested than if boiled ten. They
are dry and mealy, and are readily acted
upon by the gastric juice. The yolk OF
an egg we'll beaten is a very good substt-
tute for cream i'll coffee. An egg will
season three cups. Hoarseness and
tickling in the throat are relieved by
gargle of the white of an egg beaten to
froth with a tumblerful Of warm,
sweetened water. Beat an egg fifteen
minutes with a pint Of milk and pint
of water, sweeten with graduated
sugar, bring to boiling point, and when
cold use as a drink. 1t is excellent for
