Mr.. James X. Keene takes a cheer
full view of the future. He says: SAC
cording to the best statistical esti-
mates the value of farm products
of 1902 is one thousand million dol
lars greater than in 1901. The pros
perity of the farmer is the base and
capstone of our national prosperity
His condition is the surest index to
the condition OF the country. When
the land is fruitful, harvests bounti,
full, quality good, and the farmers
receives remunerative prices, there
is unmistakable evidence that the
general condition of the country is
sound.''

time. In about ten days after spawn
ing the bed the white mycelium
should be found working it's way
through the soil. This condition in
dicates that all things are moving on
well. Then put two inches of soil
over the top of the manure and give
a covering of straw. The straw sim
ply serves to keep the mushrooms
clean when they appear. No water
should be applied till the beds begin
to bear fruit. Then not enough
should be applied to make the bed
soggy, which would rot the mycelium
The spawning of the bed should be
done when the temperature of the
bed has fallen to about 20 Degrees

rich, juicy stalks over 6 feet high
which will be fully Z seven feet By

the cane will yield 800 gallons of
syrup to the acre. or 5000 gallons.
which, If whoiesaled a. 10 cents
gallon, would bring a return of So. 900.
or $40 an acre. The expense OF fer
tilizing. cultivating and manufntur-
ing will amount to $1,000. OF this
amount $500 was spent for fertilizers.

on cultivation and manufacture
The expense deducted from the gross
proc aeds would leave net 800, or

WANTS MEN LOOKS GOOD
Three Thousand Tons of
 Freight Coming.

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan ]
 Seattle, Aug. 26.-On account of the low water on the lower Yukon, 1t Is now safely estimated that over 5000 tons of freight, destined for Dawson and other river points, which was in- tend d to go via St. Michael, will be sent via Skagway and the White Pass x Yukon route. The low water in the lower Yukon is unprecedented. The large companies at laat realize that they cannot safely bank on getting what freight is now at St. Michael up the iver to their various stations.
 Both the N. A. T. & T. Co. and the N. C Co. will have to send large quan- titles of their freight via Skagway. Undoubtedly several of their own steamer will be pressed into service to carry this freight, as the three big companies operating to Lynn canal have nearly all of the freight contract ed early in the season yet to handle.
