YIELD OF A YUKON FARM


 w NJ. Swinehart has compiled for publication the results of his experi- ence in farming at Fort Selkirk, and these show that, taking one season with another the crops raised and the prices received for the product are sufficient to cause the average farm CT in the States to look to the North with envy
 Cat hay, the chief crop produced, yields about three tons to the acre and sells readily in the spring at from $10C to $125 a ton. Demand has never been lacking for all the hay the farm pro- duces, since the Dawson, White horse stage line on which form 250 to 400 horses are used every winter for several months, passes within a few miles of the farm Potatoes yield from three to five tons to the acre and bring as much as 20 cents a pound The average price for a series of years has been fraction over 20 cents a pound.
 Rutabagas yields six tons to the acre and sell f1r six cents a pound, or $72C an acre. Carrots yield three tons to the acre and sell for 15 cents a pound Q return of 5000 an acre, Cabbages vary in production according to season ranging from three to eight tons to the acre, and the price ranges from 15 to 20 cents a pound It is an exception a! season when the Swinehart farm does not see net it's owners all income of sl0,0OO.-Seattle Post-Intelligenc

QUANTITIES OF FOXES.

Reports from the suburbs are to the effect that never before have so many foxes been seen or their depre- dations been so marked as in the case this fall and winter. When the rabbit hunters went out, after the last snow they say that they actually found more fox tracks than rabbit, and from all the farmers came complaints about the ravages committed by these sly creatures.
 One reason for this state of affairs is said to be the fact that there are few, if any really good fox hounds in the vicinity. and very few of the old style fox hunters are to be found. What little hunting is done is in a sort of desultory manner; that is, if a fox is found conveniently, the hunt CT will shoot at it. The farmers say that the foxes are becoming a regular pest and that unless it becomes lessen- ed. a grand fix hunt will be necessary. The foxes visit the henneries and also steal whatever they can from the granaries and storehouses and are be- coming bolder every day.-Ansonia Sentinel.

hunt and kill with their harpoons and other primitive weapons, the former being struck into the leviathans in great numbers, with bladders of air attached, till it was unable to sink, and was then dispatched with a long spear thrust into its Vitals. Contact with the white man has robbed the Esquimau of his proficiency in this, and now he has to rely entirely upon the white mans boats, firearms and oher lethal weapons.
 Many a fierce combat takes place in the north between the walrus and the Polar bear. The latter stalks the walrus as it lies asleep on the foe or the shore approaching on hind feet like Kipling's Adam Zad "the bear that walks like a man." and carrying in the forepaWs black of ice to drop on the walrus and crush it skull with. easily secured, but if the walrus awakens there is battle royal. The fighters are almost equally matched, except, perhaps, that the bear is more at home on the foe and can thus re- treat if he finds he cannot win, but otherwise he makes his kill Once in a while, however, a walrus is secured by the hunter whose battle scared Hanks attest that he has been in con- tiiet with the one enemy save man, whom he has in the Arctic regions. The Esquimaus tell thrilling stories of these encounters, many of which they have witnessed; and the skull of the walrus Is so thick and its hide so tough that it seems incredible how the bear can win the struggle. But he us ually is the victor, and then the Els quimaus steal as near as possible, and while Bruin is orging himself end his existence with a bullet and secure both carcasses and hides.
 A seasons kill of walrus in Fro bisher Bay is about from eighty to a hundred, but they are more numerous further north, and Peary, has shot three hundred in @ month in Melville Inlet, to suse as food for his dogs in his polar trips. He uses his steamer in hunting them, and, of course, such as cruise is devoid of danger, as his Esqumaus perch themselves in the rigging and harpoon the creatures as he pots them from the quarterback. The walrus is one of the mainstays of the Esquimaus, his flesh being their food, his blubber yielding the oil with which they heat their homes, his hide supplying ropes and arness for the dogs, his tusks and bone converted in to various implements and bartered for the articles the white man brings. Besides hunting the walrus, the musk oxen are hunted inland and the arctic foxes trapped and between them all the venture is paying one.-London l Globe.
