CLIMATE OF COOK INLET
 CALLED BEST IN ALASKA
Geological Writers in Official Reports Commend It as Extremely
 Pleasant in Summer.

The climate of the upper Cook inlet is described by members of the geo logical survey as the finest in Alaska In paper on archaeological features of Alaska A. H. Brooks and c. Abbe jr. say:
 "The Cook inlet region, including the lower part of the Susitna basin, though somewhat colder than that part of the seaboard which lies directly on the open ocean, has probably the most de- lightful climate of any portion of Alaska. While the winters are cold compared with southeastern Alaska, the upper part of the inlet being usually locked in ice from November to May, they are not so severe as those of Boring sea. The charm of the Cook inlet climate is it's bright, clear weather in the spring and summer, when there is just enough rainfall to insure ample water for the growth of vegetation
 Commenting on this Prof. G. C.. Martin says in his Reconnaissance of the Matanuska Coal Field;"
 "rhe MutauusEa valley is somewhat colder and has less rain than Cook in. let. The proportion of bright days in summer is probably greaterat the head Of Knik arm than at any other point on the coast of Alaska. Conditions are practically the same throughout the Matanuska valley as on Knik arm, eX- cept as they are modified by differ ences in altitude.
 "It appears highly probable that the region bordering Knik arm and part of the Matanuska valley will support important agricultural industries. The district should become to large degree not only self-supporting, but capable of supplying garden produce to such surrounding regions as are connected with it by adequate means of transportation.

Ruef Confesses Bribery

San Francisco, May l7-Abe Ruef made good last night his promise to tell everything to the grand jury. He related the details of various franchise jobs, telling how he secured S2OO, ,OOO for the overhead trolley franchise. Of this he took $6l.OO as his own share, giving $5O,OOO to Mayor Schmitz and the remainder to the supervisors.
 Ruef broke down and cried during his examination but answered all questions with apparent trankneSS.
 This morning Mayor Schmitz's resi- dence is surrounded by secret service men as the prosecution fears he will attempt to escape or to commit suicide. The finger of guilt now points uner- ringly in the direction of the mayor.

he could not do so without the corrupt use of money. He then lost sight of ideals in pursuing the necessities he faced in struggling to retain ascend ency.
 At the conclusion of his statement Ruef threw himself upon the mercy of the court and asked Judge Dunne to discharge the jury, which was done and Ruef was led away to q cell in the city jail. He collapsed utterly in mak- ing his statement and was scarcely able to conclude. He said his health could no longer endure the mental strain he was undergoing and that the mental suffering was also unbear- ble.
 Sentence will be given against Ruef May 20.

In an interview today Ruef says he tried to break away from Mayor Schmitz two years ago but political necessities compelled him to continue in the combine with the Schmitzcrowd. He is very bitter against the union labor leaders, whom he stigmatizes as a lot of buns who would eat the paint off house.
 Ruef has nothing 10 say about the guilt of others. Mayor Schmitz re- fuses to make any comment upon Ruefs surrender, but says he will be ready for his own trial on the same charge which is set for next Monday.

The Garden In Spring.

The first thing to do with a garden
plot Is to plow it, and harrow the land
until 1t is as fine on the surface as It
can possibly be made. II the work Is
to be done with a horse the longer the
rows the better. Use only plump and
sound seed, procured from reliable
seedsmen and use too much seed rather
than too little, as 1t 10 easier to thin
out the surplus plants than to replant
the vacant places. Use only well-rot-
ted manure, and work 1t we'll into the
soil. If fertilizer Is used, let 1t be
broadcasted and narrowed 10. The saw
Ing of labor will largely depend upon
watching the weeds. II the wheel hoe
or wheel cultivator is used just as the
weeds are appearing above ground the
top soil will always be kept fine and
loose, and fewer weeds viii appear
after each cultivation. Cultivated In
that manner, an ordinary garden can
be worked in an hour or two; but II
the weeds are allowed to grow until
they are several inches high they will
injure the garden plants and Increase
the labor fourfold. That is the main
point-to cultivate as soon as the weeds
germinate. Do not put in the seeds too
soon while the ground Is cold, as they
may fail to germinate When the ap'
pie trees are in bloom is the best time
for planting the garden crops, as the
ground will then be in excellent condi-
ton, warm, and the danger from frost
past. Vegetables and small fruits cost
less than corn, wheat and oats in pro
portion to area occupied and the labor
bestowed.

Labor can be saved In plowing, and
the work well done by properly laying
Off the plot. A square acre, plowed
with 15-inch furrow, requires "a
rounds and 1886 turns. The same area,
In the form Of a parallelogram, 2x80
rods. requires only 13 rounds and 81
turns, thus requiring much less time
to do the work. The same rule ap-
plies to cultivation. The longer the
rows the less time required, as there
will be fewer turnings at the ends Of
the rows. 1t Is the turning of the plow
or cultlvator that causes loss of time,
to say nothing Of the extra work i'm
posed on the man who Is plowing or
cult!vatlng.

A SQUAD breeder says for the past
year our squads have averaged us
fraction over sixty cents pair. Now
with an average, as he places 1t, of
six pairs ynr, we have return of
$500. The cost of breeding can be
brought inside Of ninety cents pair.
If bought in large quantities 1t would
be well to allow 30 cents pair for
labor and supplies, as grit, charcoal,
tobacco stems, ETC., although the ma
nure will, we think, Offset this II sold
to the best advantage. Although some
Of the large profit stories in the squad
business are absurd, 1t seems as II the
inexperienced breeder should get a
profit Of $500 year from each pair,
provided he starts with well-mated,
pure Homer stock. The one great Sc
cret Of success Is to have only mated
birds. The amount Of damage one un-
mated bird can do In loft really
seems incredulous. Such bird In
seeking a mate will visit each nest,
and such a visit naturally results In a
fight with the legitimate owner. The
damage may be imaglned-eggs rolled
out of the nests and squads trampled
and killed. Good stock Is the secret Of
success, and the same care goes hand in
hand with 1t.

VENTILATED PLATFORM.

days about the source of drinking
water. Wooden curblng, absolutely no
ventilation in many cases and poor
soils for the publication Of water have
brought about the change. A farmer
who believes that plenty Of pure air
in the well will aid much In the purity
Of the water gave us the following
plan: The frame for the support Of
the platform is made of by as, al
lowing a space Of four to six inches be-
tween the top and bottom parts OF the
sides. This space Is covered on the
inside with two screens. The first is
large mesh, to keep out large vermin.
Over this is fly screen, to keep out
dirt, insects, etc. The well never be-
comes foul. In winter the platform Is
covered with straw and snow.-Iowa

The Early Pasturage.

When stock is given the use Of early
green rye the results are not always
satisfactory, and farmers find that the
cattle lose flesh and less milk Is given.
Rye Is one Of the most useful plants
for providing early green food at sea-
son when grass does not appear, but
Its injurious effects upon animals Is
not due to the rye being an unsuitable
food, but rather because Of allowing
the animals free access to 1t. In its ear
ly stages Of growth (Which are really
the times when 1t is most in demand)
II Is composed almost wholly Of water,
the proportion Of solid matter being
very small. 1t contains several salts
In solution, and Its effects upon the
bowels are laxative; hence 1t is not
only weakening, but causes the animals
to lose flesh. There Is right way to
use early rye, however, and that Is to
allow stock on the rye field hut short
time each day at first, and then gradu-
ally extend the period of grazing. When
cattle have been kept on dry food for
six months the green rye Is to them a
luxury, and II 1t is allowed them judi
ciously 1t will improve their condition.
Both rye and crimson clover will be
ready for use In short time, and they
will always prove profitable CROPS to
those who keep stock, as they shorten
the dry-feeding period Of winter. When
the early green foods are given the
stock, and the bowels are affected, one
Of the indications Is that the green

too much green food have been con-
sumed, give warm mess Of corn meal.

kind Of green food to excess.
