They fought and struggled to get out, and If all in vain their efforts they moped huddling close together. thoroughly un- happy, refusing to be comforted by any amount of sunshine, companionship or aainty food. The experiment was tried with foreign birds that had not been in the house when the death occurred and could not therefore have known of the event by observation. But the result was always the same.

Lots of Money in Yukon
 Farming.

W. NJ. Swinehart was an arrival on the Seattle en route to his home at Fort Selkirk, where he operates what Is probably the most extensive farm in the interior country. For five years Mir. Swinehart has been a successful farmer in the North country, and he Is an enthusiastic believer in the agrieul- tural possibilities of the great Yukon valley.
 Mir Swinehart has farm of l2O acres, only part oi which Is under eol- tivation. The chief products of the farm are hay, oats, potatoes, turnips and the other hardy winter vegetables. Mir. Swinehart says that all of these are produced abundantly, and that Dawson and the surrounding country affords a good market. Potatoes yield about 90O bushels to the acre, and a similar area of ground will produce three tons of oat or timothy hay.
 A novel feature of the country, ae- corling Co Mr. Swinehart, Is that tim othy can be sown May and hay crop can be cut the same season.
 Mir Swinehart says that his exPeri- cncc has shown him that 20 acres of his farm at Fort Selkirk will give hlm a greater profit than his father can make from his we'll titled lOOOacre farm ln Wisconsin.
 Mir. Swiuehart's family reside with him at Fort Selkirk and like it there first rate. He win leave for his home today or tomorrow. He came out to purchase supplies for the season
 Mr. Swinehart operated the Juneau Mining Record before going to Selkirk.
