NO MITIGATING BILL.
All Hope of Passing Racing Measure

Albany. April 22.-All probability that the anti-race track gambling bin win be called up again in the Senate before the close of the regular session of the Legislature disappeared today when Senator Foelker of Kings, who voted for the bills, was excused on the grounds of illness from further at- tendance.
 With Senator Foelker absent the friends of the bills could not hope to muster more than 24 votes against 25 in opposition.
 It is expected that Governor Hughes will call the Legislature in extraor- dinary session, to meet about May l2. for the consideration of the anti-race track gambling bills and other meas ures which he desires enacted but which are not likely to be reached during the regular session..

Capt. J. J. Hea1y

Captain John J. Healy, founder and former manager at Dawson of the N. A. T. & T. Co.,, dropped dead on the 17th4 inst. of heart failure, at Los Angeles, Calf.
 Captain J. J. Healy was pioneer of Alaska and the Yukon and no man was better known in the north He had remarkable career as a frontiersman. He was known in every mining camp in the west years ago and came to Alaska after sensational career as deputy marshal and sheriff in Montana. He established trading post at Dyea about 1893, and there, through the mi grafton of prospectors, became ac- quainted with the possibilities of the interior. He went to Chicago and se- cured the aid of the Cudahys and founded the N. A. T. < T. company, which soon became an active and pow erful competitor of the Alaska Con- mercial company, before that time the sole commercial invader of the great north. Captain Healy was at Circle when the Klondike strike was made and became large figure in the early and strenuous days of that historic camp. A quarrel with the Cudahys caused him to sever his connection with the company and for several years he has been heard ofchie1y as the nov ing figure in the Alaska-Siberia rail- road enterprise.

"Going Back to Dawson"

The SkaRway Alaskan tells a story of Prof. George, Dawson newspaper man, who by hard work and patient economy saved enough money to go to California to buy ranch. He bade farewell forever to the storm and frost of the North, and with his wife set out for the promised land of bugaloes, orange blossoms and hammocks. When he was going back to Dawson he passed through Skagway and told his experi- ence this way:
 "I bought 40.acre tract just out of Los Angeles. It was a beautiful loca- tion. Roses were everywhere and their perfume filled the air. 1 built beau tiful little bungalow. My land was un- der an irrigation ditch and did not have to worry about rain. And this was so far we'll. For it never rained. AS l walked over those acres was sur rounded by halo of dust It got into my hair and the pores of my skin. 1 had the use of the irrigation ditch for 24 hours once in so often and was re- quired to make the most of it, for my neighbor nust have it next day, and 30 ou. During those 24 hours l labored every minute, directing the flow of the water. The dust became mud, into which sank to my knees. had to use big mat in my work which 1 car ried folded on my shoulder from place to place. The mud and water streamed over my clothes. 1 waded about in mud. The dust of every day and the mud of the irrigation days made me re- pulsive to my wife and the occasional visitor. Each day 1 was dead tired and went to bed at in order that l might get up at 4, as l found it necessary to ! do if l was to make success of the little ranch. The blazing sun of every day dried up the juices of my system and a cloud in the sky was like the sight of an angels wing. At the end of the season, by much dickering with the dealers, sold my crop for enough to
 let me out even. That disposed of, l
 bought ticket for the North. My wife i left in the bungalow to look after 1t. { sailed from Los Angeles by sea that might get to the cool breeze without 1 loss of a moment. l soaked myself in the rain at Tacoma-it was clean wet ting. 1 am reveling in the cool winds of Skagway. To have the sun covered up bit Is paradise. l am going back ! to Dawson"

An exchange tells how sea otter are killed in the far North. In the North Pacific rifles are used, and usually one shot kills seal To kill sea otter several hundred rounds are usually fired. The method is to put out three boats when an otter is sighted. These boats work at each side of triangle with the quarry in the center. In each boat hunters keep up fusillade when ever the nose of the fur bearer shows above the surface as the otter comes up to breathe. The firing frightens the animal down again, and owing to the scant time given for breathing the periods below water have briefer and briefer intervals, until finally the blow ing, fatigued and frightened sea otter comes up, puf1ng and blowing, to get a rife bullet through the head, and from $500 to s1oOO worth of fur is hauled in- to the sealing boat.

Market Hoos.

What kind of hog will bring the most money in the market, and what breed will make the best market hog? These are questions hard to answer definitely. Markets vary as to the class of hogs that will sell at the top. When lard is at a premium the hog that yields a large amount of lard Is the market topper, and that means the heavy, thick, fat hog. When lard is below other products this kind of hog sells for less than the light weight which will make handy pork Joins and good hams without too much fat on them. Taking one year with another in eastern markets, the hog of 1S0 to POO pounds will hit the top oftener than any other weight. In western markets hogs of around 250 pounds will probably average best. Some times lighter or heavier hogs will out sell these grades, according to the fluctuations in price of the product. In summer hog prices cover the widest range because there is the greatest difference in the yield of product at this season. In the winter all hogs are corn fed and yield more uniform quan- titles of product. In summer many are grassers that make low yields and of inferior quality to corn fed hogs A POO pound hog that dresses 80 per cent yields 160 pounds, one that dress es 75 per cent yields 150 pounds, and one that dresses TO per cent yields only 40 pounds, an enormous differ. ence in a carload of hogs, which the buyer makes allowance for in buying them on foot. As a rule, of late the best hogs have been the cheapest on the hooks at the top of the market be- cause they have yielded so much more product than the others, which looked cheaper to the inexperienced observer
 AS to the breed that killers like best. probably more would answer Berk- shire than any other breed. But hogs are what killers want, and the kind they want will top the market. wheth- CT black, white. red or spotted.

The Manure Snreader.

There are not many farm imple- ments that will pay for themselves more quickly than manure spreader. It saves labor, but that is not the big part of the profit. Some men must hesitate about purchase if 1t means only a saving of labor. The use of the spreader means a great increase in the efficiency of the farm supply of manure. Some men cannot see this point. They say that they get the manure on the land and that is all that Is necessary. But it isn't. Ma nure gives life to a soil even when the application is light, and 1t Is poor policy to give one spot more than Is needed while another spot Is left bare or to make heavy application to one acre and leave another acre without manure. We now know that 1t pays to make the manure go over a rela- lively large acreage. Director Thorne of the Ohio station has said that eight loads of manure per acre applied with a spreader have about as great efh- ciency as twelve loads put on roughly with fork. Every foot gets little of the sod that follows or the sod to which the manure is applied. Land should not have a heavy dressing of manure when other land in the farm needs manure. Make the application light and even, and only a spreader can do the work well. In the interest of better sods, which are the life of soil, add to the efficiency of the ma nure by using spreader. Some farm ing communities have learned this les son thoroughly well, while others have barely awakened to 1t.

Potatomatoes.

In grating the tomato on the potato or the potato on tomato, or in making any other graft of similar herbaceous plants, the simpler methods are pre- ferred. The saddle graft and splice graft are the ones most commonly used. The splice graft is made by simply cutting the scions a smooth slanting cut. The stock is cut in the same way, and the two members are tied together with their faces joined. In order to get the best results 1t is desirable to have the gratis made of rather tender shoots, such as have only partially hardened. Tn order to get a proper union with this sort of tissue 1t is necessary that the cut be made with a very sharp knife, prefer ably with a razor. The two parts are then rather tenGerly joined together, using very soft cloth bandages or

 fly, as an icehouse of that size will hold about twenty loads or tons of ice
 The main point Is the division be- tween the icehouse and the room be- low it. This must be perfectly air tight and moderately good conductor of heat. The floor may be laid in the following manner:
 Beams of sufficient strength are laid across and the ends we'll bedded in ce- ment A floor of zinc sheets Is then laid upon the beams, the sheets being closely nailed to the beams upon strips of rubber sheeting to make the joints water and air tight. The beams should be dressed smoothly. The zinc sheets are bent, as shown in the illustration Zig. 9. This is for the purpose of causing the moisture, which will con- dense upon the underside of this cell ing, to flow downward to the lower angle, where it will drip. The drip is caught in the little gutters of zinc shown in the figure attached to. the ceiling and is carried off by proper drain. With this water will also be carried off much of the impurity of the atmosphere, and if very little ven tilation is given there will be little condensation and the air will be kept dry. This point must be well attended to, as the danger of excessive ventila- ton is very great The beams and zinc ceiling should be painted with white paint-lead and oil.
 Above the zinc ceiling thin layer of dry, fresh sawdust should be laid smoothly, and a floor of matched pine boards should be laid upon that and thoroughly coated with melted pitch. This floor should slope little to one corner so as to draw the waste water from the Ice there, and an s trap drain should be laid from that to carry of the water into the drain above men toned The usual layer of sawdust is laid upon this floor to prevent too rap i'd conveyance of heat from below to the ice above.
