THE TESTING OF COWS WORTH
Deputy Inspector Urging Farmers to
Have System In Keeping of
Dairy Cows,

Joel Winkjer, deputy inspector of
creameries, has been directing his at
tention of late to the organization in
this part of the state of what is known
as the test association. The purpose
of which is to keep an accurate record
of what COW produces in year.
This will necessitate the stock raiser
to weigh and test the quality of the
milk secured each day.
If record is kept of what each COW
produces the farmer will soon discov-
er which COWS are productive and
which are otherwise. In this connec-
ton an instance is cited by Mr.. Wink
jer of farmer who had two COWS.
When he applied the test experiment
he found out that one COW was netting
him $40 per annum while the other
COW was causing loss of $40 a year,
thus the profit that was made by one
COW was neutralized by the loss oc-
caSiOned by the other COW.

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 17.-"Cotton
the South's Monopoly" is the motto
that beamed upon the thousands gath
cred in Birmingham today at the
opening of the third annual convention
of the Southern Cotton association. 1t

The delegates began to arrive early
in the week and as each day passed
the number of arrivals increased, I'M

south make up the bulk Of the visit
ors. They come from all the states
of the cotton belt, from the Carolinas
to Texas.

Alaska Gold
Fields

During the 1906 season the Cook In
let Goals were mined for local domestic
purposes, for the Inlet and Sushitna
River steamers, and for shipment to
Seward and Valdez.
The coal mined from the outcrop
on the beach and neighboring cliff
south of Tyonek is a brown Ignite,
which retains woody fibrous texture.
1t is easily mined by the natives and
is used by the small steamers running
from Seldovia to Tyonek, Hope, Sun
rise and Knik and by the steamer
running from Tyonek up the Sushitna
river. The natives and the few white
people living at Tyonek and Old Ty-
onek use some of this mined Ignite
for domestic purposes, but many of
them rely on the Ignite pebbles
found on the beach for fuel.
In Kachemak Bay Ignite was
mined on the beach northeast OF
Homer. At this point it is the custom
to anchor a lighter near the shore at
high tide, load it by native workmen
at low tide and tow it away at later
high tide. The cost of the Ignite
mined in this manner is worth about
80 cents a ton.
On the north shore of Kachemak
Bay the lands have been surveyed for
coal claims from Anchor Point to the
head Of the bay, distance of about
40 miles. The surveying has not only
extended along the beach, but inland
for some distance.
At Port Graham, about IA miles
south of Seldovia, the coal has been
mined for local consumption on the
Inlet and for shipment to Seward and
Valdez. The price of coal at the mine
is $3.50 ton. The demand for Port
Graham coal by steamers on the Inlet,
by Seward and Valdez. and by other
ports on Prince William Sound, far
exceeds the present supply and indi-
Gates that there is good Alaskan
market for this coal. During the year
the tunnel and drifts In the Port Ora
ham mine have been extended and
work has been started on a new shaft
