Prosperous Times in the Yukon.

A special dispatch from Dawson to

history of banking in Dawson have
there been such heavy purchases Of
gold dust as yesterday and today. The
amounts purchased by two banks here,
in connection with large amounts de-
posted for s%afekeeping, will aggregate
upward of $1.250,0 900. Present indi.
cations are that the Yukon's output
of gold this season will exceed that
of last year by from m to three
million dollars.

Organized effort among farmers IN
selling their products is becoming
every year more and more necessary.
Commerce is organized for the pur'
pose of obtaining farm products at
as low price as possible, and it agri-
culture is not organized for the pur.
pose Of securing fair prices, it is very
easy to see who must suffer. Farmers
generally have been too Isolated, too
individually independent to get to-
gether ON any but immediate neigh
borhood enterprises. If church or
school house is to be built or mill
or gin to be erected, it is generally
easy enough to raise the money, and
organize for it's proper investment.
But the prevalent idea among farm
ers has been that as they grow their
own crops on their own land, and
breed and feed their own live stock,
that they are fully competent to sell
or buy anything they have, or any
thing they want. The fact is, they
are not more competent in their busi-
ness than merchants and speculatorz

In order to promote successful
swine husbandry there are Q few
things that it will be well to keep
in mind. There has been too much
tendency for brood sows to produce
ntters small in number, and as one
goes about among the breeders re-
ports are frequent of itters OF four
and five pigs. There are several causes
for this, but one is a matter OF IN
heritance. Sows from pigs that have
farrowed such small litters should
not be used for mothers.
A process of selection should be
adopted, and every breeder should
have a standard to be adhered to ex-
cepting under unusual circumstances.
Sows should farrow litters of eight
or more, and should rear easily, bar
ring accident. litters or ten at least,
If that number are farrowed. Bears
from large litters. if possible, should
be used for service, SO that the ten
dency will be to develop the prolific
habit. If one is breeder, the diff
ference between profit and loss Is
often one of size of litter. If our
breeders will select large, roomy,
well-matured sows, from prolific fam
lilies, and will mate them to stroLg-
boned, thick-feshed, blocky, short
legged boars, they will add greatly
to their wealth in swine. Strengti
of bone and limb is also essential in
successful swine husbandry. A pig
should have an active movement. A
serious defect seen in many market
pigs, as well as brood sows, is the
broken down foot, with the dew
claws dragging, when they should bs
free from the ground. Too much
heavy forcing, while young, will cause
the feet to weaken at the pastern
but if good bone exists the tendenc,
towards defective pastern win b'
much lessened. If our breeders vii
Gull inferior animals from theil
herds more severely. and in breed
ing will seriously consider the tw'
points of productive capacity ant

FARMER PLANTER.
RAISE MORE CORN.
IL IL the Plain Duty of the Southern
Farmer to Raise More Corn
than He Has Been Doing.


ihere is pressing demand all over
the south for corn. Men, women and
children are needing it for bread
Horses. hogs and chickens are need
ing il for food. Corn is scarce and
the western farmer is getting rich
selling corn and -four to us of the
south. But we are eagerly crying to
these very farmers tina. we have the
best section on earth. We think they
should sell out and come down here
and help us enjoy the scarcity OF
corn.
Now, we think it is plainly the duty
of every farmer to grow more corn
this year than he has been doing.
Plant more acres and make more per
acre.
You can easily do both. There il no
good reason why your crop should
not average 40 bushels per acre.
Prepare the land well. If you have
not broken it deep, ten or fifteen
inches, then lay off your rows and run
a long scooter or subsoil plow in the
bottom of your rows. Then throw
on two burrows and do the same to
each of these and you will have
good place TO plant in. The water
will be right under your corn anc
that will help resist the dry weather
Fertilize as well as you are able
with stable manure, cotton-seed OF
commercial fertilizers. Break the mid
dies as deep as you can, then plant .
least four thousand stalks per acre
Every time crust forms run over 1
with a weeder until it is six to eigh
! inches. high. Then use cultivator o.
scrapes and follow each with a dust
| board.
This is important. Keep the tol
pulverized and you will prevent tn
evaporation of the moisture. You
corn will remain green and keel
growing in dry spells when corn no
treated this way will stop and turI
yellow.
Keep at this until your corn is II
full silk. We have never failed .
get good crop of corn when we di'
this way. We would plant a part o
the crop this year early varieties
such as the Albermarle Prolific. 70
will need it early.-Dixie Farmer.
