HARD LINES TO

COrdOya Keeps Boat Away From Dock to Prevent Railroad
 Men From Leaving.

Cordova, or Eyak, has established a quarantine against boats coming to Seward, under the prctense of small poX, in order to prevent men from leaving the railroad there to come to the Alaska Central Jim O'Reilly had nearly 100 men ready to come over but the surgeon of Heney's road, Dr.. Whit ing, ordered the Portland 10 keep away from the dock and lighter her freight. She landed when she went in but was ordered away.
 O'Reilly went to Cordova for Martin Welch on the last boat going that way and had no difficulty in picking up nearly loo men, They were 10 come on the Portland. but she was ordered away from the dock before some ofthcm went down to board her, as they eN- pected her to remain several hours. When she steamed away they were standing on the dock but the launch which took several travelling men 10 the Portland refused to carry the laborcrs. Thirty-seven men came.

Passengers on the Saratoga say the railroad managers got O'Reilly's men drunk at considerable expense while the Saratoga was in the harbor, so they would not get away in small boats to the steamer.

Paid SI to Get Out

The travelling men had landed when the Portland first tied up and they were held up for $l each to ride in the launch back to the steamer. They say they heard nothing of small pOX while they were in town.
 The Saratoga was kept away as was the Portland. Men coming in on the Saratoga say, as did travellers on the Portland, that the small poX scare is a fake.
 w. N. Armstrong, a mining man well-known in Seward, writes to the Gateway from Cordova that the quar- antine is solely for the purpose of pre- venting boats from taking laborers away. He affirms that there is no small pox there that anybody knows of, but the company refuses to let O'Reilly and his men leave. Arm strong had just arrived there to look after mining work he is having done.

Clover Beats Timothy.

Some weeks ago The New England
Farmer referred to timothy as the Ben
Davis of the grasses. Recent expert
ments at the Illinois experiment station
prove the correctness of our idea. A
bulletin issued by the station says:
"a feature of the experiment was the
of the worthleSSness OF
hay, something that horse feed
ers will do we'll to keep in mind. Tim
othy is good TO haul to town and sell to
the other fellow. Glover beats it all
around. In the experiment, horses fed
on corn, oats and clover gained 277
pounds each in 92 days. The lot fed on
the same ration, except timothy was
for clover, the gain was 142
pounds, and the timothy ration cost
more than the clover.
From this it is plain that timothy is
an Improbable raw material for farm
feeding operations. II you must grow
it, sell it to the man in town. Corn, oats
and clover hay, with little bran and oil
meal, constitute an ideal ration for fat
tening horses. New England Farmer.

Egg Profits.

In comparison at the Utah Station OF
different breeds for egg production for
several years the average profit per hen
was SIS cents per year with Barred Ply
mouth Rocks, IS cents with White Wyan-
dottes, and SLIP with Rose Comb Brown
Leghorns. Marked differences were OBJ
served in the size of the eggs laid by the
hens of the different breeds, and OF the
same breed, but, in general, the Leg
horns showed less variation than Wyan-
dottes or Plymouth Rocks. I'm the case
of forty-one hens of different breeds, for
which complete records were kept for
two years, it was found that the average
egg yield was 17S per fowl for the first
wear, 125 the second. Whether there Is
a characteristic difference in the differ
