TWO KINDS OF WEEDS.
one L. Human, the Other NeGet"oie'
and the World Has No Use for
Either of Them,

John Burroughs somewhere calls
weeds the tramps of the vegetable
kingdom" The analogy is very ft-
ting; for, like the human tramp, these
vegetable vagrants range from the
good-for-nothing to the
positively vicious Sympathy or even
tolerance for either is misplaced and
worse than useless The tramp is in
deed one OF the worlds unfortunates
and a certain sort of pity is due him
Tor his fallen estate, but he cannot be
brought back to selt-respect and hon
est toll by aims nor mawkish philan-
thropy. His disease can only be cured
by work. To feed him without an at
tack on the woodpie as a condition
precedent, is to put premium upon
his idleness. II is a fine and beauti-
full thing to see the sweet, young
matron giving piece of bread and
meat to the unkempt beary animal
who asks for a bite to assuage the
pangs Of hunger, and many tender
hearted man says in a self-gratulatory
way, as one who offers a ticket for a
front seat in Paradise; Il never turn
hungry man away from my door. ="
This is an especially blessed thing for
the giver, but it is not the best gift
for the recipient. Aims dehases the
receiver and confirms him in his weed
mess. There is no place in this good
and bad world for weeds, whether two
legged or one-legged The struggle
for existence writes their doom thus,
as the fittest survive and multiply
Get in line or get out" Either our
vegetable and human parasites must
show their reason for existence in the
economy of things (Which is admitted
ly a human conception or they must
make way for that which is useful CT

since the INTRODUCTION Of systemstt
methods OF mining and extraction that
Ophir creek has become one Of the lar
gest producers OF the region,
These facts sugur well for the futur
OF the Seward peninsula placer fields /
Is believed that other streams will have
a history similar to that of OPhir creek
In nearly every case thus far the first
work is done along the channels Of The
stream. When these are worked outth,
prospectors turn their attention to The
benches and terraces, which often yiet
good returns,
In some cases, however, the mlner
neglect thoroughly to prospect thu Ter
races and benches and they have also
abandoned placers which, In the opIn'
ion Of members Of the geological survey
may still carry gold In paying quaint
ties.
In Anvil creek last year the most In
portant development was In the aurlfG'
Gus grayels Of the benches, which are
found on both sides Of the valley. THIS
gave new impetus 10 mining,
The high-bench grayels from 800 10
800 feet above the sea were discoveredlh
1900 and are still In process Of develop
ment Some Of them have great depth
and the extraction OF the gold Involves
much labor.
The tundra, or coastal plain, placen
back OF Nome are stlll worked. but thelT
development Ia not yet commensurate
with their probable importance, III
believed that the gravels OF this coas@I
plain carry many workable placers'
They are a few feet above and below
sea level, are mined through shallow
trenches, and operations have been ham
percd by lack Of facilities for handllnS
the surface water, When an economic
method OF mining these grayels lhs
large way has been devised handsome
profits Will certainly be made.
Everything points 10 the probablllV
that the greatest placer mining Interests

BEEF-pRODUCING FOODS.
Important Conclusions Reached by
Prof. Mumford of the Illinois
Experiment station.

Having already referred to an i'm
portant cattle feeding experiment re-
Gently conducted at the Illinois station
by Prof. H. w Mumford, we present
some Of the chief conclusions reached
taken from bulletin No S3;
l. This experiment indicates that corn
may be supplemented with clover hay. a
nitrogenous roughage, in such a way
that its influence will be practically as
beneficial as the supplementing OF corn
with nitrogenous concentrate, such as
gluten meal
2. That where clover hay or some
other nitrogenoQs roughage is not avail
able for supplementins the corn crop
in fattening steers, a nitrogfnous con-
centrate like gluten meal is highly ad-
yantaseous,
3. That neither the corn ration sup
plemented by the use Of nitrogenous
roughage on the one hand nor Of nj
trogeEous concentrate on the other,
proved to be an ideal ration II Is be-
lieved that some judicious combination
Of the two yet to be determined will be
found more satisfactory and profitable
than either
4, A ration Of corn, timothy hay and
corn stover has little to recommend 1t
for beef production. II is not favorable
for the production Of large rapid or
economical gains; nor is the beef
produced by such a ration desirable, 1t
required 15 pounds more grain and 4
pounds more roughage to produce each
pound Of grain where timothy hay sup
plemented corn than where clover hay
was used.
