REGENT press dispatches chroni- cie the fact of the retirement from active business of J. P. Morgan. His son, it is stated, will take up the work where his father left off. Morgan, ST., will make his future home in England. It is most likely that Rockefeller had as much to do with the retirement of Morgan as any other factor.

ACCORDING to the Dawson NezUS of recent date. twenty tons of mis- cellaneous supplies were taken from Dawson to relieve existing short ages in Circle City stocks. This Is fair sample of why it costs the big companies so much to do busi- ness in Alaska, and, again, why the consumer must pay such high prices for his goods. In other words, Jones pays the freight" "

SATURDAY, MARCH I2, 1904

AFTER mapy years of futile peti- tioning and the expenditure of practically all her fortune, Mrs. Florence Maybrick has been re- leased from an English prison. She was not pardoned, but given a special form of ticket-of-leave. The case has been repeatedly reviewed by the English government, but each time the trial was pronounced regular and the verdict of the jury beyond impeachment. In other words, while believing firmly in her guilt5 the English government, as a courtesy to the American people, will allow Mrs. Maybrick to die in liberty.

D. A. MCKENZIE, former com missioner at Coldfoot, had lengthy interview with the president re- gently. MT. Mckenzie laid great stress OH the necessity of immediate legislation for adequate trails from the Yukon into the Koyukuk and for the training of the Indians in the care ot reindeer. As Mr. Nc Kenzie has spent several years in the true Alaska--the interior-his opinions should carry weight
Alaska forum., 1904-03-12

JUDGE W1cKERsHAM says: II see no future for the Athabaskans, except extinction, and little better fate for the Eskimo. There is a strength of virility in the Eskimo, however. which the Yukon Indian does rot possess, and if the Eskimo could be turned into reindeer people. they would be an advan. tageous population in Alaska"

THE CLEANLY HOG.

DIRTY as a hog" is a common say
ing, yet the hog is maligned in it, The
hog is much cleaner than some other
of our farm animals in many respects.
He will not willingly sleep in his own
filth. When he does so it is when
ne has been placed in confined quar-
tiers where he can exercise no choice
In the matter, says the Farmers Re-
view. Every person that has had the
handling OF swine knows how care
fully the hog will carry the straw into
one part Of his pen fo- his bed, and
will keep it clean as long as 1t is
possible to do so. Some swine rails
erS follow the practice of having a
raised platform in one part of the pen,
and on this the straw for the bed of
the hog is placed. The hog will a.
ways deposit the excrement in the
Embedded portion of the pen, and will
keep his platform and bed clean. This
cannot be said of the COW or horse.
The hog is accustomed to root in the
ground, for that is where he gets a
large part of his feed when he is in
his wild state. But this is not an un-
Clearly habit He wallows in the mud
when he takes his bath, but that is
because he is thick-skinned animal,
and the ordinary ablution is INSULT
cient for his needs

FERTILIzING POTATOES.

For potatoes to grow successfully,
Plant food must be supplied to them,
and the more properly it is done, the
better the crop will be. The object is
to secure the best results at the least
expenditure possible. In a general
way clover accomplishes this admir-
ably well, it being of all fertilizers the
one the most adapted for q potato
crop. Take it on a nice fresh clover
sod in sandy or gravelly loam or on a
fertile field devoted to clover the year
before or on which crop of corn and
grain of some kind was grown ON the
clover sod for the purpose of getting
the land in good shape for the fol-
lowing potato crop, and the yield is
not only likely to be first class, but
the tubers clean. Provided there is
already a liberal supply of mineral
plant-foods in the ground, crop of
clover will bring up near the surface
potash and phosphoric acid in the best
forms for immediate use by the pota-
to roots, and also nitrogen. both from
the soil and air. Oh land a little thin,
however. it is expedient to encourage
the clover with some fertilizer. or else
reinforce the soil fertility the year
that the potatoes are planted This
may be done, WI ere yard fertilizers
are not obtainable, by commercial fer
tilizers, and a good way to apply them
Is with a planter or otherwise at the
time OF putting In seed. from 800 to
1000 pounds per acre being sufficient,
If it is kind adaptable to the soil.
The only objection the former is, it
often has a tendency to induce scab.
Happily. however. this can be Job
tanned by spreading it broadcast on
the land and p1owing 1t under IN me
fall; It will thus become thorough ly
decayed by spring and IN consequence
grow potatoes as clean and free from
Bcab as II commercial fertilizers had
been used exclusively.-Fred O. Sib-

WINTER OATS.

Last fall was so dry that it seemed
almost useless to SOW either wheat
or winter oats with the expectation of
tneir growing. / hesitated to SOW
any oats as they have always been
an uncertain crop unless sown early.
There came little rain about the
first Of October and / decided to sow
about one acre. A part of the land
was corn stubble, a part COW pea
stubble and a part buckwheat sssSble.
l put the oats in without blowing,
using the grain drill. A light dress
ing of superpbosphate was used on
the buckwheat stubble: the other had
no fertilizer. The slight rain did not
sprout the grain and so the oats did
not come up for about a month.
Winter set in before they had made
much growth and such a winter is
not often experienced here-almost a
continual freezing with an occasional
thaw for few hours and with very
little snow from the middle of Nov.
ember until March. Almost every
part of field of medium red clover.
second years growth, froze out before
spring. This field was adjoining the
oats. When sIrlng opened up there
did not appear to be any oats left. but
decided not TO pillow the field. On
the side of the field facing the north
west there were no oats, but on that
toward the south half stand of very
tall heavy oats was secured. Some
punches were nearly six feet tall and
measured some heads fourteen
inches long. The buckwheat stubble
and the corn stubble showed better
results than the cowpea stubble. The
crop did not pay expenses, but if the
winter had not been SO unfavorable
the crop would nave most likely been
good one. Winter oats sown last
February were an excellent crop this
year. Winter oats fill much better
than the spring varieties. the only
trouble with the fall sowing being to
get the oats in early enough to make
sufficient growth to stand the winter.
Sometimes the very dry falls make
against the crop, as was the case last
year.-A. j. Legg, in the Epitomist.

FARM NOTES

Too little light, air and exercise are
bad for the dairy cow.
1t will do horses good to have appe-
tite enough to relish a meal when il
is given them.
On account of their lying so close
together the shelter for hogs need
not be as light as for other stock.
low knee is desirable in a horse,
enabling the animal to make a long
stride more quickly than when the
knee is set high up.
Other things being equal, a nice
even lot of wethers will thrive more
satisfactorily and bring greater re-
turns for feed than fattening focks
made up regardless of size, uniform
ity and condition.
The browning excellence of i'm
proved breeds of cattle, sheep and
swine is not so much that they will
produce carcasses far beyond the
normal at full maturity, but that they
will yield medium product of choice
meat at an age considerably below
that of maturity.
