Twenty Tons Of kiondike Gold.

Twenty tons of gold have been pro-
duced by the Klondike proper, the dis
trict within a radius of fifty miles of
Dawson. since January 1 of this year.
In other words, the output of the
Klondike since the first of this wear
is $9,2O0,OOO. The royalty collected on
the gold by the Canadian government
FOR the year is $230,2C0. The banner
year in the camp was in 1900, when
the output was placed at $40, 900 900.
Since that the cream of the richest

Animal Feed Laws.

Every state in the Union should
have laws against the selling of fraud
ulent feed stuffs. A good many states
now have such laws, and the result is
that all the stuffs that cannot be sold
in states well protected by their own
laws are poured into the states that
have no laws or where there is laxity
in the enforcement of the laws. The
constant demand from the farmers for
cheap feed has led to the adulteration
of the feeds on a large scale. Some
of the adulterants are very injurious to
the health of the animals. Only tho
strong hand of the law can prevent
their continued sale.

Leather Table Covers.

The arts and crafts in this country
have brought out table covers of nat.
ural leather that are most attractive.
They are stained in the different art
green's, three tones or red and also
left in the natural tans and browns.
They are used for library and sitting.
room tables, and men particularly
prefer them for dens. There is no
attempt to cut the edges even or to
have any appearance of finish about
them. They wear forever and a day
and need no laundering. The most
fanciful of them are illumined in the
dull purples and gold of the old mis-
sails. This takes great deal of skill.
but the result is in doubtful taste

The following abstracts from an ar
ticle by j. e. Stubbert, M. D., in the
Medical Record, should receive wide
and careful attention. No doubt If
these ideas could be carried out, the
white plague" would he robbed of
much of its terror:
In ancient times 1t was highly i'm
proper to expose tubcrculous pa
tient, especially one beyond the first
stage. to a breath of fresh air except
on the mildest days in summer, while
the night air was dreaded and avoided
as the plague. Then the more observ-
ant and thoughtful men noticed that
those who lived more in the open air
did not die as quickly as the hot-house
patients, and they began to urge an
outdoor life and moderate exercise
as prophylactic as well as cure
for those in the early stages of con-
sumption. Those in the more advanc-
ed stages were allowed fresh air only
when 1t was at summer temperature,
but even this was better than being
kept indoors in warm, ill'ventilated
rooms the whole year.
There are several plans by which
the victim of tuberculosis may con-
tinuously breathe pure. fresh air by
night as well as by day. Sleeping out
in the open air is not harmful to
large majority of tuberculous people.
Millet, of Brockton. Mass. reports
the cases of five patients whom he
recommended to sleep out of doors at
night. They were allowed no roof
over their heads except in rainy
weather. They wore soft felt hats
and cotton nightshirts, sleeping under
ordinary bedclothes in beds arranged
on the roofs of their houses. I'M
provement was noted in two weeks.
Coughs disappeared, temperatures be-
came normal, respirations were easier
and weight increased rapidly. No at
tention was paid to dampness and
drafts. and heavy dews were regarded
as inconvenient simply because of the
necessity of drying the bedclothes.
Sleeping in a small room with an
open window does not appear to be
nearly so beneficial to the patient as
when the nights are passed on ver-
anda or in tent where there is
free circulation of air on all sides. II
a patient were fortunate enough TO
have large room with a southern ex-
posure and containing one or two
open fireplaces, in addition to large
windows on three sides. which might
be opened at night. he might derive
approximately the benefit incident to
tent life.
McGraham. of South Carolina, pre-
fers the circular to the army tent. and
thinks it better to place it on plat
to do without carpets and draperies.
Draperies are not necessary, but rugs
add greatly to the comfort and con-
venience of those in i'll health. and
their use can be made perfectly safe
by exposing them to the sunlight for
a few hours daily.

One Dollar a Year Per Hen.

The above is the popular estimate
of the cost of feeding hen a year.
At twenty-four cents dozen, fifty
eggs should pay for the cost of keep
ing her and the balance of the eggs
should be an Offset against the ex-
pense of sheltering and caring for
her. That some tiocks do not pay
profit is due to careless management
by the owner. for whether on the
farm or in an establishment devoted
to the raising of poultry it should not
cost more than the sum mentioned to
supply the food the hen consumes
annually.
In the light of this, the reason why
some fiocks do not pay is that they
are SO badly taken care of that the
losses from diseases. rats, mites. and
preying animals and birds is very
great. We say that 1t costs only
dollar to feed a hen a year. On that
estimate it costs a man to feed 100
hens half year $50, and the fowls
do not begin to lay before that time
in most cases. Now on many farms
the farmer has lost half of his fowls
by fall and thus the food that was
put into them has been wasted. This
runs up rapidly into money. and the
rest of the hens have to pay abnor-
NAL profits to make a good showing
for the flock.
II we but take an account Of the
situation we find that the mortality
among the poultry is something enor-
nous. What would we think If half
of our calves died off before they
were six months old, or IL we should
habitually have steers drop down
and die or perish from the numerous
causes that cause losses in the feath-
cred flocks?
1t has been said that we can make
profit of 81 hen easily. and so We
can on the hens that live. But the
unfortunate fact is that we make less
than nothing on the hens that die be-
fore having laid the eggs they are
supposed to lay in a year.
think this is the source of much
of the discouragement in poultry rails
ing. However it may be said that
most of the mortality among the
fowls comes from things that can be
prevented by little care and fore
thought.

Gather the Bau Worms.

On many fruit and shade trees one
may find the cocoons of bag worms.
They are usually from one to two
inches long, and are suspended by
one of the pointed ends from the
smaller branches. Each of the larger
cocoons contains large number of
eggs. which will hatch in the spring.

Special Hospitals for consumptives.


A hundred years ago the city of
Naples. Italy. erected a la-oe hospital
for consumptives. and required the
isolation of all persons suffering from
this disease. 1t is only recently. how
ever. that the authorities of modern
cities have become awakened to the
importance of this sanitary measure.
Recently a number of cities have
taken steps for the establishment of
hospitals especially for the treatment
of cases of consumption by the So
called "open-air method" Excellent
results are reported from this method
of treatment.
The German government has a
large central committee numbering
more than thirteen hundred persons,
organized for the purpose Of erecting
hospitals for the treatment of tuber-
culosis. This committee has under It's
supervision seventy-four such hospi-
tails, and last year treated over thirty
thousand patients, of whom eighty per
cent were returned to their homes
practically cured after remaining il
the hospitals on an average of little
less than three months.

Apple Packages.

The question of kind of package in
which to put up apples for the gen.
eral market is forcing itself on the
attention of apple-growers every.
where. The barrel will continue to
be used quite extensively. but the box
is certain to grow into favor very
rapidly. In fact we have seen a won
derful growth in this direction dur
ing the past five years. The box can
be manufactured almost anywhere
and out of any kind of wood. while
the barrel.maker must depend on the
stave mills for supplies of slaves. and
these slaves can be profitably made
only out of certain kinds of wood.
Some have charged that there is a
trust or combine either among the
barrel-makers or among some of the
makers of the material out of which
the barrels are made. This may be SO,
but whether it is or not, it is just as
well to develop the line of manufac-
ture where the farmer can be in a
measure Independent of possible COM
bines. Circular saws are not expen-
sive. and untold powers are going to
waste in wind, stream and unused
fuel. Little skill is required in the
making of boxes. and it is to be hoped
that this season more boxes than ever
will be used.

The number of bacteria in milk
does not prove its value. The bac-
terra produce the souring of milk and
such milk is healthful. Then why
judge milk by its bacterial content!

not all the bacteria but the special
kinds of bacteria that produce dis

Delivering Cream to creameries.

In the summer time, at least, cream
must be delivered to the creamery
every day, If good article of butter
is to be made. In the winter a sys.
TEN of delivering cream every other
day may do well enough, but it
should not be made to suit the situa-
ton in summer. When whole milk
was hauled to the factory the farmer
realized that it was necessary to haul
it every day. With the hauling of
the cream the work is greatly re.
duced, because a lighter rig may be
used. The patron should therefore
be contented with this saving in cost
and not try to double the saving by
establishing a system of every other
day delivery.
