the prediction that when they reached
Alaska they would learn what bad
going actually meant At least. the
only car which has yet gone thus far
has made the discovery. The Ameri-
can machine. which 1t was expected
would push on through the Alaskan
wastes TO Nome. on the western side
OF the territory there taking ship pas
sage to Siberia, is halted at Valdez. a
dispatch from that point to the news.
paper which is behind the scheme says
1t viii be impossible 10 60 through
Alaska. Experiments made under con
ditions there, one feature icing a
heavy snowstorm, shows there is
nothing but narrow trails, which can.
not be negotiated by the autos. SO
the whole outfit has been loaded on a
steamer which will return 10 Seattle,
and from that point a vessel will take
the car and the party accompanying It
to Vhdivostok The dispatch from
jaldez says with refreshing frankness:
1T is impossible for any man who has
not seen the trail over which the mail
Is carried from Valdez TO Fairbanks TO
realize the conditions that exist to-day.
To consider making the trip across
Alaska in the face OF such conditions
would be dream OF "A cgeechaco
siyass,' in the Chinook jargon, which
means the Alaskan tenderfoot" In the
opinion of the Troy IN " Times, this
outcome is not surprising, for at the
outset 1t was predicted in various quar-.
tiers that no automobile could succeed
in getting through the Alaskan wilde-.
ness. Even the much-berated highways
OF New York state must appear like

after the Thetis had voyaged 1900
miles, a small herd of 16 deer was se-
cured. These were transported across
Bering sea and set free in Alaska.
After three years the results had
proved so manifestly good that con.
gress was ready to appropriate $4,000
TO further the work.
From that day till this there have
followed successive appropriations un-
til Uncle Sam has spent SlS3,OOO for
the purchase and propagation of rein
deer in Alaska.
The enterprise has proved all that
its supporters hoped. The Alaskans
have taken on a new lease of life
since the reindeer were brought TO
their shores. The fear Of famine has
been removed, various simple indus
tries have been introduced, a regular
postal service has been maintained
even in winter.
The hardihood OF these animals is
such that with the temperature rang.
ing from 20 to so below zero they keep
sleek and healthy on food which they
find themselves.
AS the herds increase, the natives
will be able to sell their surplus meat
to miners and others, receiving money
which means a large access of all
sorts of comforts in that ice-bound
country.
A government official, after a care.

proved to the satisfaction OF every
fair.minded person, who has taken the
trouble to post himself on the subject.
that reindeer are an unqualified suc-
cess, both as means of transporta-
ton and as a source of supplies for
most of the necessities of life"
There are now over 5000 deer in
Alaska.
Encouraged by such UNQUALIFIED sue
cess, Dr. Grenfell has attempted
similar experiment in Labrador. The
conditions are so nearly alike as to
encourage large hopes of equally
beneficial results. There, as in Alaska,
are large tracts Of cladonia moss,
square mile of which is sufficient to
support 80 reindeer. There the
climate is suitably arctic, and there
the population would eagerly welcome
the addition Of such an occupation as
that of reindeer herding to their pres
ent pursuits of fishing and the chase.
Grenfell has the same indomitable
spirit as Jackson. He is the most USE
full man along that stormy coast. Few
men can combine so many functions
in one personality. He is surgeon,
preacher, master mariner, magistrate,
an agent of Lloyds in running down
rascals who wreck their vessels for
the insurance, manager of a
string OF cooperative stores and a
general counselor and friend to
everybody.

when he faced murder charge till
his wife returned from Chicago,
where she had Unexpectedly gone on 4
visit, he kept out of serious difficulty
until the other day, when he took
notion to whip his wife. This trouble
is said TO have resulted from the
wife's taking the part of Edith Lang
man, her daughter by previous mar
riage, whom Tolton had whipped be-
cause he said she was not behaving.
After Tolton had abused his daugh-
ter and the wife eXpostulated, Tolton
threw his wife and daughter out of the
house, and followed this by pitching
out the furniture with the exception of
bed, table and a few other articles.
NeighbOrs were incensed, and when
Tolton left the house they seized him
and gave him such a beating that
when he escaped he returned TO the
house and barricaded the doors and
windows.
In the meantime an affidavit had
been filed looking to his arrest 4
warrant was issued by Mrs. Clara NJ
Hess, said to be the only woman JUS
tice of the peace in the state, but the
town marshal and the township con.
stable were unable to dislodge Tolton,
and, although the entire population of
200 people was at their backs. they did
not venture TO break into the house.
The siege continued till midnight. and

DOG is GUEST AT WEDDING.
Faithful 6rutus Attends Ceremony
and Marriage Feast.

Cincinnati.-Brutus, a big New.
foundland dog, was an honored guest
at the wedding of Miss Marjorie Riner
Sayler. daughter of the late Nelson
Sayler, and John Lawrence Hawkins.
a prominent Baltimorean. The we'd
ding was one of the most fashionable
of the season here.
Years ago, when the bride was a
mere child, the big dog saved her from
drowning, and since then Brutus has
been her constant companion. He
has walked sedately at her side when
she took long country walks, and has
raced at her horses heels when she
chose riding.
The dog was present when the cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. DR..
Dudley Rhodes, and wore a huge white
bow on his collar in honor of the
event. At the wedding supper Bru.
tus was served with the rest of the
guests though not at the table.

Her EXPLANATION.

Officers on the coastwise and for
eign steamship lines are not limited TO
their regular duties, but are expected
to answer the questions of curious
passengers besides. Sometimes, how
ever, the passengers take the matter
into their own hands, and instruct
others more ignorant than themselves.
The purser on well-known liner
tells of lady who had made a pass.
age before, and who in consequence
felt n superior knowledge of maritime
things.
Several ladies were grouped in tho
stern, this one among them, when
their attention was attracted by the
log with its long line attached to the
rail.
= why, what can that be-" inquired
one OF the party.
THAT" said the knowing one.
We'll, you see the vessel has to keep
in communication with the land, and
in order to tell just how far they have
got on the passage they keep one end
tied TO the dock, and by looking at the
amount OF line paid out they can tell
just how far they are from the other
side"
oh" exclaimed the other, after
this lucid explanation. well, | have
always heard of the log, but / never
knew what one was before. Thank
you so much!"-Youth's Companion.

PROFITS OF pAIRYING.
Are of Several Kinds and Are
Cumulative.

The profits in dairying are OF sew
eral kinds, and are cumulative. The
money received for the dairy products
represents but a part of the receipts
The fertility that goes onto the land
is a very important receipt and begins
to make compound interest as soon as
II gets into the soil.
The cash profits from dairying are
small, but they come in every month
of the year. The farmer that is en-.
gagged in dairying can pay his bills
about as he goes and get better bar
gains by so doing This is another
kind of profit
The man who has n well-equipped
dairy can utilize his help and save
loss Of time and this is yet another
kind of profit that is overlooked
The dairyman always has a large
amount of manure TO use on the early
crops in the spring. for most dairy
farmers do some work of this kind.
The plants get good early start, and
the products are marketed early, get
ting the benefit of the earliest prices.
This 10 another profit that should be
credited to dairying.

DAIRY NOTES.

The central plant is all right in its
place, but you can't depend upon it TO
stay there.
II you have never used a pure bred
bull in your herd make the necessary
investment and patronize the pure
bred bull which your neighbor may
own. Try this investment once and
you will own pure-bred bull of your
own next year.
A pretty good suggestion comes from
one OF the experiment stations on
cows. II says II one has a man.board.
er who don't pay HIS bills, he is kicked
out, but the COW that don't pay her
board we just keep feeding right
along from the best feed We can grow.

cAUsTIc POTASH.
How I, Can Be Used to Dehorn the
Calves.

Experiments recently concluded at
| the Nebraska station show some in
teresting results in regard to the re-
| spective gains made by horned and de-
| horned steers. During period OF sew
eral months and under varying
weather conditions the horned steers
made slightly larger gain but the
greater value of the dehorned steers
as feeders still made them the most
profitable. Furthermore, from the time
they entered the feed lot until they
were slaughtered the dehorned would
continue to have the advantage. There
would be less danger from injury dur
ing the feeding period and they would
bring higher price on the open mar
ket Upon our larger markets de-
horned steers will bring from 10 70 20
cents more per hundredweight than
horned steers OF the same quality, due
largely TO the fact that shippers do
not care to bid upon the horned OF.
ferings.
Being convinced Of the advantages
Of dehoTning, urges the Farmer. the
cattA raiser should then proceed 10
use the easiest and most humane meth.
cd OF performing this operation.
Where the calves are raised on the
farm the best method is by the use OF
caustic potash. While this treatment
has been explained many times it
will probably bear repeating. To be
sure OF success it should be done be-
fore the calf has reached the age OF
ten weeks and preferably at the age OF
four or six weeks. II is advisable to
lay the calf down on its side, so that
In its struggles no portion of the pot
ash will get into its eyes. With a
pair of shears clip the hair away from
the region of the horn. After having
wrapped paper around one end of the
stick OF potash, dip the exposed end in
water and rub gently upon the ex.
tremity of the horn. The soft exterior
OF the horn will soon be pentrated ex.
posing a raw, red surface underneath.
Still using the caustic pencil. keen
pushing the outer coating back until
the raw spot is about the size of a
dime, which is sufficient in most cases.
Care should be taken that no water
drips OFF from the end of the caustic
pencil, for If this gets upon the ten
der skin of the calf it makes an un.
necessary sore. The operator should
also observe caution and not get any
potash on his skin or in his eyes. Caus.
tic potash can be purchased at any
drug store in sticks about the size of
lead pencil and dimes worth will
easily dehorn from 90 to 80 calves.
When not in use the potash should be
kept in bottle tightly corked, for If
left exposed it absorbs moisture from
the air and disintegrates rapidly.

Feedinu Calves

The Journal of the British board OF
agriculture says that Probably a
month is as long as Il is advisable TO
feed calves on whole milk on a dairy
farm or until they have reached about
100 pounds, live weight, or 96 pounds
Of veal, This weight may be attained
in a month, provided the calves are
fatted as quickly as possible; but one
cannot expect to do It unless the
calves are fed three times a day. An
effort should also be made to have the
calves fat at the time veal commands
a high price; otherwise the returns
from yealing on whole milk may not
be at all satisfactory"

American EduoationaI Me,hods.

Here Is another tribute to the value
OF American educational methods. In
paper read by Sir William Henry
Preece. formerly president of the In.
stitution of Civil Engineers, before the
Royal Society OF Arts in London, the
speaker mentioned the difficulty II not
impossibility of making a comparison
between English and American meth.
DDS. owing to the fact that the Ameri.
can boy possesses "the energy and
smartness OF new race; the Euro.
ipean boy mentally Is two years behind
him." This explained the difference in
curricula and examination papers.
But It Is American adaptation to these
different conditions which accounts for
the success OF educational methods
here. Still further testimony to the
efficacy Of American ideas is found in
the proposition from Germany that the
conversational style of teaching Ian.
guages be put into practice by an OK.
change OF American and German pro.
fessors, tho American professors in.
structing German students by this
method. and vice versa. German edu.
Gators are alive TO the practical de.
inands or the times, and appear to de.
rive much inspiration from the United
States.
