Keeping Goats for Milk.

The Department of Agriculture. hav-
ing succeeded even beyond its own ex-
pectations in introducing the Angora
goat to the American farmer and pop
ularizing it as a valuable animal in
this country, has now turned its atten-
,tion to mich goats, which form the
issued. of which Prof. George F..
Thompson is the author.
1t may seem strange that the mich
goat should be expected to appeal both
to the very rich and the very poor. but
such is the case. There are at present
practically no mich goats in this
country, except such as are kept by a
few of the immigrant settlers. who are
used to them at home, and one philan-
thropic experiment that is now being
conducted by Mrs. Robey Of Chicago.
The fact is that the goat is the poor
mans COW, and she Is a much better
milk giver than the cow. considering
the amount of food she consumes. A
por family can keep a goat and have
plenty of milk better than cows
milk for about an eighth or a
seventh of the money it costs to keep
a COW. At the same time goats milk
: is coming more and more into favor
with physicians as food for infants and
invalids who can afford it. and properly
prepared goats milk such as physi-
cians would order for a well-to-do pa
tient will fetch from IL to 25 cents a
quart in the market to-day. So it is
seen that the goat is really of inter-
est to both classes of citizens.

THE FARM AND RANGE


Alfalfa seed is almost entirely grown
from the second or third crop. as tho
weather at the time the first crop
would be ripe Is often SO wet that the
seed might spoil After many years
of experience we have come to the con-
clusion that the first crop does not pro-
duce as good G. stand of well-fil1ed seed
pods as a later one, probably because
the insect that fertilize the blossoms
are not out yet in sufficient numbers
to do the work. Another advantage is
that the second crop always ripens
more evenly than the first. When
grown for seed alfalfa should be cut as
soon as the pods turn brown. This is
usually done with moving machine,
but of late considerable of 1t is bound
up with binders and handled as small
grain. 1t is believed that enough more
of the seed Is saved by this method to
pay for the Irvine and 1t Is much easier
to handle the crop when bound in bun.
dies. Alfalfa seed should not be
stacked II it can possibly be threshed
direct from the field. Ordinary
threshing machines, provided with fine
screens will do good work If not fed
too heavily, but the seed will have to
be run through a tanning mill before
put upon the market. A good clover
huller is the best machine on the mar
ket for threshing alfalfa. If it becomes
absolutely necessary to stack alfalfa
cut for Seed put 1t up in small stacks
and cover with a tarpaulin. Never
put much alfalfa seed together, either
before or after threshing as 1t heats
easily and this spoils it for seed. The
yield will vary from one to twenty
bushels to the acre. but an average is
eight to ten bushels weighing sixty
pounds to the bushel and worth from
to 10 cents pound.-Field and

Maccaroni Wheat.

Under date of July 18th. the Canon
City correspondent of the Denver Re-
publican says: AS the result of expert
menting with durum or maccaroni
wheat, l.. l.. Harding has produced a
fine crop grown without artificial mois-
ture.
Mr.. Harding sowed fifty pounds of
the wheat on one and one-half acres
of arid land which never has been irri-
gated. The grain now stands three
feet high and is topped with fine, well
developed heads. No rain has fallen
on the ground since the planting ex-
cept one or two showers in May, which
simply dampened the surface.
From present indications the yield
will be from thirty to forty bushels
per acre. Owing to the success of this
experiment plans are being made for
q large acreage next year on the arid
lands lying above the irrigating bitches
near Canon City.

Political "PuIl" Not Necessary.

Postmaster Wilcox of New York has
given signal proof that political pull"
is not supreme in bis office. Recently
the SUPPLEMENTARY of mails became
vacant and the postmaster consulted
one of his associates about eligible
members of his staff, inquiring particl
ularly about Mr.. Roome. His adj
wiser replied that the man mentioned
was the best man for the place, but
was not an applicant for the promo
ton. A further inquiry as to the rea-
son for Roome's modesty brought out
this interesting bit of information:
He had not applied because he knew
he had no chance of getting it. He
did not know a single politician. Mr..
Wilcox sent for Roome and after some
conversation, which showed the lat
ter's efficiency, named him for the va
cancy and he is now superintendent of
mails.

POLAR EXPEDITION.
Psary viii Soon Sail in Quest of North
Pole.

New York, July 13.-With $4,000
subscribed yesterday toward his expe-
dition to reach the North Pole, Robert
e. Peary announces that he will sail
this week for the North. Commander
Peary's new Arctic ship. the Roosevelt.
has been waiting several days for sup
plies. which could not be bought on
account of lack of funds.
The Polar expedition, which has
been in preparation since October Is,
1904, has cost s150.000, including SUBJ
scriptions. The entire amount has
been given by American business men
to the Psary Arctic Club. whose mem
bers are anxious that none but Ameri-
cans have a hand in this Polar expedi-
ton.
Morris K Jessup, president OF the
club, subscribed $4,000, and Thomas
H. Hubbard gave check for $4,000.
Mr.. Hubbard also offered to join
with any other "believer" in the North
Pole expedition in putting $4,000 into
fund to be divided among the mem
bers of the Peary party in case they
succeed in reaching the pole and re-
turning to New York within eighteen
months after their departure from
here.
In announcing that his ship is at last
ready, Commander Peary yesterday
made public for the first time dona-
ton of $4,000 given by George
Croker in January last.
Mrs. Peary will probably sail with
the expedition. From here the Roose-
welt will proceed to Sydney, Cape Bre-
ton, where the New York crew will
give up the ship to a picked crew,
which Is already waiting on the Erik,
a coal ship, which will accompany the
Roosevelt to latitude 70. The Erik
will then return south. bringing Mrs.
Peary with her.

ity in any gathering of favor:te sons,

ALIEN INVASION OF CANADA.
Figures Of Yearly immigration Are
Enormous.

The Canadian authorities estimates
the total immigration into Canada up
to June 80, the figures for June and
May not being final. at 14S.261, as
against 130,330 for the preceding fis-
cal year. In proportion to population
this is equivalent to an immigration of
about two millions into the United
States, or twice the volume the Re-
public is actually receiving. 1t repre-
sents a foreign dilution of the popu-
lation of Canada by two and one-half
per cent. of its total amount, and If
1t were maintained on the same scale

Readiness for duty in any form has

Police what they are-the trusted
guardians Of life and property in west

Their field is from the United States
boundary to the arctic coast, and in
this vast territory, thousand miles,
from south to north, 500 scarlet-coat-
ed men keep peace and order Through
any part of it, prairie, wilderness or

alone and have no fear. To make
thus easy the travellers way meant
years of vigilant policing, and even Of
fighting. Those were stirring times,
when mounted police service had zest
and glory. To-day there is less glory
and more hard work: for, as the coun-
try is setting farther north, the police,
too, are moving up and widening their
beats. Smugglers on the border.

the settlements, fires in the forests,
to guard against these and to repre-
sent the law in land that would cas-
lily be lawless are their duties to-day;
and to these have now been added the
carriage of the mails in the extreme
North and the protection of the whale

CANAL WILL Be BUILT
so save PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Bearers Of DiseouragIns Reports 'LIk
sned to skuIkers Fleeing From
Battle Field.

Oyster Bay. July 13.-President
Roosevelt delivered a notable address
yesterday before the Associated Physi-
clans of Long Island
He discussed In the course of his
speech the relations physicians sus-
tain with the people Of the communi-
ties in which they reside and the work
to be done by the medical experts in
connection with the construction of the
Panama canal, declaring that, despite
all difficulties on the isthmus and here
in the United States, the canal would
be a success.
He referred to the achievements Of
the sanitary engineers who cleaned the
cities of Cuba for the first time in 400
years, and closed by paying tribute
to the services of Gen. Leonard Wood,
whose career as a military officer, he
said, was fouted by some critics be-
cause he once had been doctor.
In his address the President said:
Just a couple Of weeks ago there
seemed to be a succession OF people
coming up from Panama, each one Of
whom had some tale or other to tell.
You will always find In any battle,
even II 1t is victorious battle, that in
the rear you meet a number of gentle
men that are glad that they are not at
the front, VINO, If they have unfor-
tunately gotten at the front have come
away and who justify their absence
from the front by telling tales Of how
everything had gone wrong there.
Now the people who fee from Pan
anna will carry up here just such stor-
les as the people who flee from the
forefront of a battle carry to the rear
country owes and will owe SO much are
those who stay down there and do not
talk, but do their work, and do 1t well.
"Of course, In doing a great work
like that in the tropics, in region
which, until this government took hold
of 1t, was accounted to be a region ex-
ceptionally unhealthy, we are going
to have trouble, have some yellow
fever, have a good deal of malarial
fever, and suffer more from the latter
than from the yellow fever, although
we will hear nothing like the talk
about 1t. We will have every now and
then troubles as regards hygiene, just
as we will have trouble in the engi-
neering problems. Just as occasionally
we will have trouble in the administra-
tive work.
whenever one of these troubles
comes there will be large number Of
excellent but timid men who will at
once say what an awful calamity 1t is,
and express the deepest sorrow and
concern, and be rather inclined to the
belief that the whole thing is failure
at will not be failure. 1t will be a
success, and 1t will be a success be-
cause we shall treat every little check
not as reason for abandoning the
work, but as reason for altering and
lettering our plans, SO as to make 1t
impossible that that particular check
shall happen again"

Walsh viii Flight Scandal.

Kew York, July 13.-In speaking OF
the action brought by Tetlef Hansen
against Thomas F. Walsh, John ID.
Lindsay, counsel for Mr.. Walsh, said
yesterday:
ut was not the plaintiff nor his at
torneys, but Mr.. Walsh himself, who
brought the existence OF these suits
directly to the notice of the court. The
material from which the reports pub
lished to-day were obtained was a re-
markable affidavit made by the plain
tiff, which Judge Bowling refused to
receive, and of which, therefore, no no.
tice was taken by us.
You may say that the motion made
before Judge Bowling is but the begin
ming of line of aggressive action on
Mr.. Walsh's part, which he purposes to
push to the end"

Prof. Huxley was invited on one oc-

tobacco meeting. In a brief opening
speech he related personal incident.
He was visiting a friend, with whom
he had animated discussions on a re-

were both deeply interested. How
ever, there was one point on which
we differed" continued the professor.
my friend was great smoker, while
l detested tobacco in any form. lGreat
applause.] After dinner we usually
retired to his study; but finding my
self once nearly suffocated with my
friends cigar smoke. l expostulated.
Thereupon, pushing the cigars before
me, he said: Take one yourself; it's

DIARY kept -Four centuries.

The Oldest diary in existence is said
to be that preserved in the Japanese
family of Hozaka. 1t has been duly
maintained by the various heads of
the family for four centuries. An
English commentator notes that about
twenty years ago dispute over prec-

settled by recourse to the diary and
the discovery of the record of a din
ner given 200 or 800 years ago by the
head Of the family to the founder of

Sweden's Good Financial Position.
Judging by the position of Sweden's
banks, that country must be in good

capital was s1Oo,OO0oOO. as against
$S5, 100000 in 1908 and $4,000, 900 in
1902. In addition the banks held very

sides the capital increase. Last year
the average bank dividend was so per
cent. These figures show mat the
commerce and industries of the coun-

with Norway.
The prices commanded by Swedish
government bonds in the principal
money markets of the world show
that the State finances are also in
good shape.
