The Rampant Forum says; ut Is
foregone conclusion that unless appro-
priations are made by congress for i'm
mediate needs, Alaska will be cut oil
from outside telegraph communication
with the spring thaw.
ITO those who are familiar with the
present condition of lines and ground
cable in Alaska this will not be surpriS-
ing. The hurried construction with in
sufficient materials and the lengthy
stretches of ground cable, the insula-
tion of which in many cases was burned
off in the forest fires of last summer. Is
responsible for this deplorable condi-
ton.
"While the officials in charge have
done good work in securing our present
communication, it is to be hoped that
the hundreds of miles of what are mere
ly temporary lines will be reconstruct
ed and permanent lines placed on poles.
Rampant stocks are beginning TO
diminish. The heavy inroads by Che
noa and Fairbanks freighterS, and the
healthy and steadily increasing de-
mands from our own district are gradu-
ally clearing warehouses. 1t is safe TO
say that many will be unable to secure
full requisition for summer working,
and will be compelled to wait the spring
arrival of supplies.

FIRsT.cLAss STOCK PAYS.

1t costs no more on the farm to raise
first-class stock than to raise poor or
intermediate CRATES. This is an AK
iom. An axiom it Viii be remembered
is truth that does not need demon
stration. Then if it does not cost more
on a farm to raise the better class of
stock the first thought IN a stock
breeders mind should be improve
ment This may, in some instances,
be necessarily slow process if one
is limited somewhat in means. But
persevere and start in small way.
One will learn gradually the best
methods in feeding, breeding and gen.
eral care. This viii, when most need
ed, be rich experience and with
start in stock of which one has a per-
sonal knowledge, much more can be
accomplished than with several thous-
and dollars spent on a strange bunch
of cattle. Decide as early as possible
whether to raise stock for market or
for milking and breed accordingly. A

BATTLING WITH ALGAE.
The Problem of Their Removal From
Reservoirs.

Anything which makes for improve
ment in the water supply of cities and
large towns is matter Of personal
interest to most of us. In many
places the water of the reservoirs is
rendered unpleasant by a peculiar
smell and taste described as fishy or
musty, and attributed by the public to
various causes, generally dead fish.
AS matter of fact, the odor in ques-
ton is due to minute plants belonging
to the group of the Algae, and the
water is harmless enough, but not
exactly inviting.
Various methods have been tried to
stop this nuisance, but with indiffer-
ent success. The Bureau of Plant
Industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has taken up the
matter, and the scientists employed
there have discovered a cure which
promises to be very valuable. The
method of treatment depends upon
the fact that these simple plants are
extremely sensitive to copper, so that
quantities which are quite without
effect ON the higher animals are fatal
to the Algae. Thus many of the most
troublesome forms are destroyed by
concentration of copper sulphate
equal to one part in million parts OF
water. Actual experiments have
shown that the Algae in reservoirs
are killed by amounts OF copper so
small that a man must drink fifty
quarts of water per day in order to
get an amount of copper in the least
harmful. Moreover, in few days
the copper entirely disappears from
the water, SO that there is no longer
any question of it's possible harmful
effects. In the reservoirs which were
experimental on last year one treat
ment with copper sulphate was SUI
fcient for the whole season The
method Is q cheap one, costing about
fifty or sixty cents per million gallons
of water; no definite cost can be as
signed since the quantity of copper
needed depends upon the species
which are giving trouble. The treat.
ment should be applied by competent
persons; it cannot safely be intrugted
to unskilled workmen- The expert
ments are being followed up by the
department during the present season.

DEEP FLOWING.

plows on some lands to go in bottom

subsoil plow about every two to three
years, and find it makes fine water

would have brought it, says the author
of 1.-The Land of Little Rain" There
were numberless living things all about
them, night-traveling creatures, whose
well-worn trails would have led item

1t is the opinion of many wise and
busy people that these little creatures
OF the desert pass the ten-month inter-
val between the end and the renewal
of winter rains with no drink. Your
true idler, however, with days aud
nights to spend beside the water trails,
will not subscribe to such theory.
The trails begin far back in the scat
tering sands and hills, and converge in
a one-span-broad, white, hardtrodhen
way in the gully of the spring. and
why trails if there are no travellers in
that direction?

LATE MOULTING.

During the latter part of October we
will find many hens only partly
through the moult, and these are u.s.
ually the lazy kind which stand idly
around. The busting, busy hen will
begin to moult about the first of Aug
ust, and by the middle of October she
will have an entirely new suit of
glossy feathers. In many cases she
will continue to lay throughout the
entire moulting season, and will keep
it up all winter long.
The lazy hen, meanwhile, will stand
around, and the first touch of winter
weather will bring on an attack Of
cold, which frequently develops into
Group.
This is the class which requires our
attention, and they should have it be-
fore the season is far advanced.
They should be separated, and, if
possible, given free range and be COM
PEELED to roam over the orchard or
field Make them scratch for bugs
and grasshoppers. and they will gath
er material necessary for the growth
of new feathers.
Green bone is excellent for moulting
hens, but if this cannot be had give
oil meal, sun flower seed, green clover
and wheat middlings. Hens that have
not completed their moult by the mid
die of November will not be likely to
lay before March, SO that we are fore
ed to furnish winters feed and care
and get nothing in return.
Don't trust to luck with your hens.
Take good care of them and they will
be profitable.

THANKSGIVING IN I7e6.
How Washington's Proclamation DIFF.
fered from Those of Later Days.

Row Wash1ngtOn'S PROCLAMATION D1f.
fered from Those of Later Days.
Nowadays, the Thanksgiving proclama-
ton of the State and national executives
are brief compared to what they were in
the early days of our republic, says q
writer in the Boston Herald. In the case
OF the latter he doesn't foreshadow his
forthcoming annual message as was
somewhat the vogue in President Wash.
ilgton's time. This is seen in the Thanks
giving proclamations issued by our great
and good first President in the early part
of the year 1875, in which he appointed
Feb. 10 as "a day of public thanksgiv.
ing and prayer" The Father of Els
Country" was then SO years of age and
was serving his sixth year as President.
1t was a long document and covered
quite a number of points. OF these, |
will advert very briefly to only three or
four which are peculiarly significant.
In the preamble he mentions, as the
first subject, demanding the public at
tention on this solemn occasion, our ex-
emption from a foreign war" and next
proposes, as ian object of gratitude"
the increasing prospect of the continu-
ance Of our exemptions from a foreign
war;" Which propositions evidently re-
late to the settlement, through special
envoy, John Jay, of our serious trou-
bles with Great Britain, growing out of
the continued occupation by the British
OF the western forts on Lake Erie, con-
trary to the treaty Of 1888; and the seiz-
ure Of American vessels bound for
French ports by British ships and the
Imprisonment Of American seamen.
Another cause for thanksgiving, ac-
cording to the same high authority, Is
''the great degree of internal tranquility
we have enjoyed" To which is added
''our cause for thankfulness for the r.-
cent confirmation Of that tranquility by
the suppression Of an instruction which
so wantonly threatened it."
And in another place the President re-
peats this idea, asking his people Ito
render tribute of praise and gratitude
to the Great Disposer Of all events, for
the seasonable control which has been
given in a spirit of disorder In the sup
preston of the late instruction" What
the President had in mind in this allu-
sion was the great whisky insurrection"
In Pennsylvania in 1894, caused by the
passage by Congress Of acts imposing
duties upon spirits distilled and upon
stills. 1t was finally suppressed by Gov.
Lee of Maryland. with 1900 troops,
acting under orders Of the President.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1904-11-17

Phillips, who was busy preparing the
Thanksgiving dainties for that glad day,
did not notice the boys stealthily leave
the house. She despised a mean action.
and Bob and Roy knew she would not
approve of their unkind sport. They
quickly crossed the fields and walked
down a hill into q lonely, damp hollow.
Right before them stood small, tumble
down house with a feeble light shining
from one tiny window. The boys crept
10 this side and crouched beneath it.
Just as Bob was about to raise the lam
bern after he had lighted the candles. a
ehild's voice asked anxiously:
Mother. aren't we going to have any
pumpkin pies or turkey or anything nice
on Thanksgiving? We had such a lovely
dinner last time. L it because we aren't
thankful that we can't have any Thanks

There was pane IF glass broken out
Of the window, and the boys could hear
Wery word. Bob softly lowered the LAM
tern and put out the candles, and both
waited to hear the answer.
"No, darling, the reason is that we
haven't any money to buy such things.
Since father died, deary, it has been very
hard for mother to even buy bread for
u.s."
Then a boyish soice with brave note

SWEET MILK AND TANKAGE FOR

skim milk to feed young hogs and
pigs, and what proportion when mixed
for feeding.-W. D. Severn, in Indiana
Farmer.
Replying to your inquiry OF w.
D. S., Macon county, ILL.,, l will, say
that a ration can be made of corn,
shorts and tankage, which will be a.
most as satisfactory as one where
milk is supplied, The ration should
consist of five parts of corn, five parts
Of shorts and one part of tankage; as
more fat is desired the shorts can be
replaced by corn. There is nothing
better than skim milk when fed sweet,
but whore the quantity is limited,
tankage can be used as a substitute,
as it is very rich in protein.-J. H.

HOUSEHOLD DECORATIONS.

The decline of the picture as a ne
cessary feature of house is interest
ing, writes Elizabeth Knight Temp
kins in Good Housekeeping. Once
they were, regardless of quality, as in
dispensable as chairs and tables and
there is a survival of this feeling in
people of a former generation who
cannot reconcile themselves to pic
tureless walls. The best feeling now
is that a picture must be distinctly
worth while to justify its presence
Objects aiming solely at beauty that
do not beautify are not admissible.
There is also, am glad to say, a
growing realization that ornament in
a house belongs to the architects do
main; in other words, that the orna-
mental features of house must be
supplied in the bui lding-in mantel-
pieces, windows, cornices, light fea-
lures, woodwork, etc. The result is
that our homes are much more restful
to the eye than in the days when or
naments and bric-a-brac were consid
cred essential. Not to speak of the
labor of busting, the eye is wearied
and the effect of a room as whole is
destroyed by multiplicity of small
objects. A safe rule for homebuild-
er is this; let every necessary article
be as beautiful, as ornamental as pos
sible, but add nothing for ornament
alone-f1owers and pictures being ex-
ceptions to the rule. Let your COCKS,
lamps, inkstands and flower vases be
delights to the eye, but avoid super
fluities.
