An Advartaqe in Freioht.

An Advantage in Freight.
Fruit growers near the great fruit
consuming cities have an immense
advantage over the producers Of fruit
thousands of miles away. We talk a
great deal about California fruit be-
ing profitable to the growers, but it is
only because they have powerful or
ganizations of fruit men that they are
able to make any profit at all. The
cost of shipping, say peaches, from
California is so great that it amounts
to heavy protective duty in favor
of the local growers. We are in
formed that the freight on car Of
fruit from San Francisco to Chicago
is $3.50 and the icing charge is $125
more. This makes 1915 that the car
costs, without reckoning anything for
cents on every pound Of fruit sent
from San Francisco to Chicago, as a
car is reckoned to contain 10000
pounds. In addition, the matter of
time of transit of the California fruit
must be taken into consideration in
the packing and the fruit graded more
carefully than it would otherwise have
to be. Much perfectly sound fruit
must be left out of the packages, sim
ply because it is ripe: for it would
be rotten by the time it reached the
customer. AS our own fruit growers
have good fruit soil and climate, with
an ever increasing population to feed.
there would seem to be no reason why
this advantage of freight rates should
ever be taken from them. There is
every reason why our fruit growers
should plant ever increasing Quanti-
ties of hardy and standard fruit trees.

PROTEIN CONTENT lPer Cent?.

1t will be noticed that in some OF it's
parts the high-protein kernel has less
protein than has the low-protein ker-
mel. Thus in these two analysis the
high-protein kernel has less in the
tip cap, hull and germ. The protein
in the other parts, however. more than
counterbalances the losses in the parts
mentioned, even the crown starch hav-
ing more protein in the high-protein
corn than in the low-protein corn.

the purely formal question, II hope

which came the startling answer:
"Yes. thank your majesty, excellent

been made a happy father himself,

Effects Of Feed on Teeth and Skull.
schwartzkopf, OF the Minnesota Sta.
tion, treating Of the influence of feed
upon the dentition OF pigs. writes:
l. The order Of succession of teeth
in our precoctous pigs runs the same
as in the primitive hog.
2. The times when the teeth appear
are variable, according to race, feed
ing and health. The same breeds
raised under the same conditions will
show the same appearance.
3. The form OF the skull depends
upon nutrition, health and more or less
employment of certain. muscles of the
head and neck. Skulls of poorly nour-
ished pigs are long and more slender
than from those well nourished. Pigs
that are prevented from roofing will
acquire a short, high and rounded
head, while those that are forced to
root to secure portion of their food
will develop a long and slender form
Of head.

When the Lamb Comes.


youngsters approaches, the shepherd
will be making preparations, says A.
D. Gamley. If the lambs are coming
In May, very little is necessary to be
done, but If in March, and the sheep
pen is not warm enough for newborn
lambs, then warmer quarters must be
provided. My plan is to have shed
built Of poles, covered with straw and
we'll banked with manure, into which
turn the cattle, making the vacated
stalls into temporary pens by mailing
few boards across the ends. Now
Tor the lambs. AS the ewes bring
them into the warm stable, where the
pens have already been prepared, ex-
anime the udder, draw some milk, so
that the lamb will get il more freely,
clean all the wool and filth away from
around it, SO that the lamb will have
no trouble in getting hold Of the teat.
II the lamb is strong, don't be in too
great hurry to get him to suck, he
will soon find the teat, and the less
they are handled the better. IT the
lamb is weak, assist it to the teat,
holding it up for few times, or until
he finds his legs. II too weak to suck,
draw some milk from the eve into
warm tea cup, feeding two or three
spoonfuls at a time, until strong
enough to help itself. If a lamb is
chilled and apparently lifeless, pour
teaspoonful Of gin in little warm
water down it's throat, and submfrge
1t once. all but the head, in warm
water, or put in a warm oven. Thea
latter, the hot air cure, think is
1nuch the surest plan. have brought
round lambs in that way that have

cry; the chances for that lamb living
are good deal better than for an
alilng lamb few days or a week old.
AS the 1ambing progresses, the shep-
herd will have observed that some
ewes are much heavier mixers than
others, and that the poor mixers very
often nave twins; put one OF: the twins:
Z on = eve with q singl lamb and ~
good mixer. The best and easiest
plan Is to pick out eve giving indi-
cations of being a good mother, and
watch for her lambing AS soon as
she has lambed, and before she gets
up' place the twin lamb beside the
newborn lamb, and roll and rub them
together, which will give the same
appearance and smell to both, and
when the eve turns round to survey
her progeny she will never suspect the
fraud, but will commence licking both
lambs. l have never seen this plan
fall: If a eve loses her lamb, make
her foster twin (aim to make every
eve raise lamb). This requires
little patience. My plan is to skin
the dead lamb and sew the pelt on to
the twin lamb, putting the dam and
foster lamb in dark pen for a few
days, always keeping a sharp look
out to see If the lamb is doing all
right. 1t is as we'll in their case to
tie up the eve for the first day or so.
Take off the pelt in "a or 80 hours.

Fairblnks Will Be Typical
 Frontier Town

According to all indications Fair banks and ChenOa will not want for ap- portunities to scatter the golden dust on the wheels ofchance. Several gam bling outfits are among the freight go- ing on the first steamers, says the Daw- son News It is well known that a number of old-time Dawson gamblers and a number from Seattle and other coast points have been assembling here preparatory to descending on Fair banks.
 It is probable that dance halls, yari- ety theaters and other such places of Amusement will be as numerous in the new camp as in Dawson in early days, and that life will be as fully if not more distinctly frontier. The new camp will not have the Northwest mounted police that this camp had. The United States marshal and deputies have charge of the law and order branch in the new diggings.
 The Dawson police have been watch ing the incoming people from the out side closely. A number who have arrived in small boats are being given
 blue ticket, and told to move on,
 it is intimated they are heading for

The Editor a Busy Man.

Some things will keep and some will not.
Editors know this from experience. The
world is SO progressive that day or twos
delay now equals year The speed of
travel and communication is OF such We
locity that few minutes will accomplish
what il took whole year or more to do in
the 10th century. Think of il, in provid-
ing literary food for the people the press
has to be continually on the qui vive for
fresh vegetables. That which they gathered
last week wont do to serve this week for it
is stale and creates as much dissatisfaction
as hash at boarding house. Some people
imagine that an editor has nothing 10 do.
II he produces paper worth Ieading it
requires every moment OF his time, his
articles must be fresh and sparkling. Lszy
editors give you stale and out of date stuff.
News articles wont keep. The editor earns
all he gets out of the paper for mental
work Is the hardest work in the world-so
hard that but few men dare to undertake
and carry ii out. The mind is ever on the
run seeking for digestable matter; matter

that is calculated not to nauseaie or dis
gust. He has 50 many appetites to satisfy.
Some OF them are over-fastdious and want
nothing but Sweetmeats some are content
ed with few common apple pies and pud-
dings; others demand a fquare meal but
wont relingui'h sugar and some don't care
as they never taste the diet anyway and
just pay for it to be in the swim. The
editor has something to do besides playing
peek-a-boo with the children, he works
and works hard and the harder he works
the more perfect is the production, Any
one can pick up newspaper and tell
pretty correctly what sort of an editor is at
the head of it, If the paper is slovenly
gotten up the editor is slovenly; if it is
neat and nice the editor is likewise. A
neat paper is his pride and he always keeps
a first class printer to do the mechanical
part. Neither will charge their shortcom-
ings to the devil who is very prominant
atd necessary person In printing office.
To be an editor is position which just
any kind of man or woman cannot fill.
Some have energy and brains enough but
lack patience. Job was patient man and
one OF the greatest philosophers of ancient
or modem times. Pay your editor Tor he
earns every cent. UNCLE Tom.
