II IS RICH
Great Confidence In Ameri-
 can Yukon Country.

While the development Of the American Yukon aas been slower than many people thought It would be a year or two ago,t Is going steadily on, and one of the most satisfactory things about the whole matter Is that those most enthusiastic about the ultimate outcome Of the country arc the residents of that section. Nearly every man who has gone Into any Of the Amefl' ein Yukon districts has become Identified with the country and elected Co make Us future hls own, To this respect, George Fredsnck Lincoln Hunt, of Circle CiIN who Is ln Skagway Is no exception to the general rule. NIT. Hunt has spent four wears on the American Yukon and Is con vlnesd that lt will become a greater and greater producer as veirs go on.
 "The Circle City district" s1lt Mr. Hunt y-s,erily, "ls a good steady pro- ducer. Most Of lts gold comes from Birch creek, about 70 miles back from the Yukon. There are dozens Of claims ln there work ing from three Co tour Co I4 or IS men and som. work even more. The Gregory claim Is working 70 men each summer Wages have never gotten below SIo per day. and there have been no Idle men Circle since went there four years ago. There Is much dirt In that country that will pay from S to SIo per day to the man that eanno, now be worked. This will be utilized when transportation be- comes cheaper
 "The Tanana Is also a good country and win deyelope Into a great producer when lt gets SO provisions cost less. Copper seems to attreet more attention on the Tanana just now than gold.
 "Thsrs are many good creeks ln the Koyukuk and think the benches and drv gulches in there will prove as rich as they have In Diwson. The trouble with thai country Is the short season, but when theV gst steam thlwsrs in there ! think they will be able to work To the winter.
 "The Glen gulch strike has again at traeted attention Co the MInOok or Rampant country. That country Is already a pro- ducsr and wlll get better a, machinery l; brought ln.
 "The Fortymlle country Is always good. Jack wade creek, while spotted i' phsnomally rich ln places. ! understand the Chicken creek strike Is genuine aid that lt Is very deh.'
 Mr. Hunt Is taking hydraulic maehlneiy Into the Yukon to work his elalm or Birch creek. He will ship it Co Circle thl' summer and next winter he will take ! lntj the clalm. This slowness of trans portatlon Illustrates what Mr. Hunt elisi as ons of the great drawbacks to the ln terior country. He says rapid and eheaI transportation would work wonders ln tha country. As lt Is, however the blg com merelal companies will furnish provisions to prospectOrs and miners and take chance on getting their pay on bed rock.

farmers, turn their stock out to
range, during part of the year. Some
of the great herds are brought
through exclusively on the range, but
the practice is growing of supple
menting this with alfalfa and other
feed. But an Eastern farmer would
think he was killing cattle to turn
them out on the dry range and ex-
pect them to shift for themselves.
The range is pretty poor looking, aud
no mistake, but like many /
things in the West, its appearance
is deceptive. The grass is short and
close and makes picking, but it is
sweet and nutritious and as there is
no rain to amount to anything it
cures itself as grass does not in the
East.
But the public range is becoming
badly overcrowded; fights are con-
tinual between sheep and and cattle
men, the grasses are allowed no OPP
portunity to recuperate and their
meat-producing power is becoming
less and less. Some wise system of
leasing which will not interfere with
settlement will have to be worked out
which will enable a man to improve
his share of the range. When this is
done vast additional focks and
herds can be raised and fattened to
supply the Eastern markets. M.

According to some Australian ex-
periments with hogs fed upon a ra-
ton solely of corn, the quality of
pork produced was soft and very fat
". The conclusions reached were
that while corn is a most useful food
IN conjunction with other grains,
milk, and pasturage, it is not a desir-
able feed in itself alone when the
production of commercially valuable
bacon is aimed at.

be a great advantage to the farmer IL
he can utilize some protein-produc-
ing crop in its place, as the cowpea.
ID. In round numbers the amount
and ratio of meals consumed for the
production of a gallon of milk was
as follows: Group I, 3 pounds of
wheat bran and 2 pounds of cotton
seed meal; Group III, 2.5 pounds of
cotton seed meal and 4 pounds of
pea hay; Group III, 4 pounds of
wheat bran and Z pounds of pea hay.
The same ratio holds in the case of
butter, though the amount of con
centrates consumed was considerably
more.
IA. Providing the palatability and
the digestibility of the foodstufs
used are equal, the source from which
the protein is derived has but little
effect if the substitution of one food
for another is made on the basis of
the protein equivalent.
Is. The amount of dry matter con-
sumed for the production of a gallon
of milk was 60, 6.5 and II pounds
with groups I, III and III respective
~. The digestible matter consumed
for a pound of butter was practically
the same, being 1871, 1878 and 1871
pounds with groups I, II and III.
16. All the rations fed we're sat
~isfactory in maintaining a good flow
of milk, a high fat content and a
high per cent of total solids.
II. Group II consumed the largest
amount of protein for 1000 pounds
of live weight and made the cheapest
gallon of milk, So cents, and the
cheapest pound of butter, 90 cents.
Group III which consumed the
smallest amount of dry matter pro-
duced a gallon of milk at a cost of
6 cents and a pound of butter at a
cost of 100 cents. Group I produced
a gallon of milk at a cost of So cents
and a pound of butter at a cost of
1872 cents.
IS. AS milk retails at from % to
80 cents a gallon and butter is in de-
mand at 25 to 80 cents a pound, it is
evident that the Southern farmer
who owns a herd of good COWS can
make large profits from the dairy
business.

Tennessee Experiment Station.


The bulletins referred to In the
foregoing letter are indeed very val
liable, and we are glad to reprint
herewith the conclusions reached af-
ter the three years. Investigations as
to the feeding value of cottonseed
meal, cowpea hay and wheat bran.
Next week we shall publish the sum
mary of results in the steer feeding
tests. We quote from the bulletin
as follows:
Pea hay has made a remarkably
fine showing in these results and
seems to be an excellent substitute
for either wheat bran or cotton seed
meal, though it can better supply the
place of wheat bran than cotton seed
meal. It is an exceedingly palatable
substitute for bran and is greedily
eaten by dairy cattle. As it can be
produced cheaply and in abundance
and improve the soil of the farm at
the same time, the results are partic-
ularly gratifying to Southern farm
ers as they can produce a home
grown ration of the highest excel
lence for dairy production.
SUMMARY OF RESULTS.
1. Only about one-half as much
food is consumed in the production
of a gallon of milk as is eaten to
make a pound of butter.
2. The smallest amount of rough
ness consumed in the production of
a pound of butter was 1873 pounds
with group III in which ID pounds of
pea hay was substituted for 4 pounds
of cotton seed meal.
8. The highest amount of nicer
trates consumed was by group l, 90
pounds, or 80 pounds more than In
group III and SD pounds more than
in group II. The substitution of pea
hay for wheat bran In group IL and
for cotton seed meal in group III
thus resulted in materially reducing
the consumption of the concentrates.
4. It seems clear that n and a
quarter pounds of chopped pea hay
can take the place Of one pound of

Questions for Boys and Girls to Think
About.

About.
IF you are good at answering, here
are a few questions you can wrestle
with: You can see any day a white
horse, but did you ever see a white
colt? How many different kinds of
trees grow in your neighborhood and
what are they good for? Why does a
horse eat grass backward and a COW
forward? Why does a hop vine wind
one way and bean vine the otherg
Where should a chimney be the
larger, at the top or bottom, and
why? Can you tell why a horse when
tied with a rope to a stake to eat
grass always unravels it, while a COW
always twists it into a kinky knot?
How old must a grape vine be before
it begins to bear? Can you tell why
leaves turn upside down just before
a rain? What wood will bear the
greatest weight before breakingA
