Gold Output of Alaska.

The gold mines on the American side
OF the line in the far Northwest are
this year, for the first time, producing
much larger quantities of the precious
metal than are being found in British
territory. The yield for 1905 at Nome
ana in the surrounding district is esti-
mated by experts at approximately
Si0O00,000, and the Tanana valley has
cleaned up S7o00000. Last year the
total gold production for all Alaska
was $9,050,000. or nearly S1,000,000
less than this years cleanup at Nome
alone, where the principal increase
took place during the last summer. 1t
Is safe to ASSUME that the entire Alas
kan gold output will not be far short
of $20,000,000. On the other hand the
Klondike output for 1904, which was
$l0,S2G, 900, will not be much exceeded
by III; total for 1905.-Tacoma Ledger.

! am one of those tina believe that
the corn plant is one of the most wor-
derful plants that ever grew and that
1t is more than any other plant, the
one rendering greatest service to the
producer Of pork. writes !. Owen in
Farmers Review. For myself [ feed
corn heavily as soon as the hogs are
large enough to Ike the feeding of
corn profitable, for. after ALL it gets
down 10 matter of profit.
l gather from what some hog men
say in their writings and in their
speeches at conventions that they have
discarded corn altogether, but l am
unable to find any feed lot that bears
out the claim. L think it is getting to
be fashionable to claim not to feed
corn, but the popular drift is due to
reaction, from the too constant feed
ing of corn. l will admit that some
or the farmers engaged in the raising
OF hogs have overdone the matter in
the past, but there is a recession of the
practice Nothing has helped this more
than the high price of corn. 1t is no
longer profitable to feed corn lavishly
and the man that does feed it must
use the greatest care how he feeds it
or he will be badly out of pocket. The
time of ten-cent corn was the time
when men shoveled the corn into the
hog toughs by the shovelful or cast
the whole ears into the feeding lot
without knowing or caring much
whether it was eaten or tramped into
the mud. That time has departed for
ever, and l never expect to see it re-
turn, and corn must continue to be
part of the hogs diet, but it must
be used at the time OF finishing the
hog for market. The man that cannot
find any food for his hog but corn dur
ing the growing period of the animal
is making pork at greater cost than
he can sell it for.

Ventilation of Farm Buildings.

There are no small buildings on the
farm that can not be amply ventilated
by the simple plan here described
Generally such buildings are of the
single or sloping roof sort, so that the
plan can be carried out at small ex-
pense. In the rear of the house, near
one corner build an air shaft made
by joining at the edges four boards
about eight inches wide. Set this into
the ground or fasten to the floor If of
boards, so that is will be firm. Have
it open at the top, of course. and make

of it, next to the wall of the building
and about foot up from the floor cut

the width of the board and about six
inches the other way, and in the side
of the building opposite this hole in
the shaft cut hole of corresponding
size. Cover these two holes as well as
the hole in the top of the shaft with
wire netting so that no bird or small
animal can get in.
This is the shaft by which the air
enters the building. Then build another
shaft long enough to reach from about
eight inches to foot from the floor
up through the roof so that it viii
