Farm MACHINERY,

1t pays to keep the farmyard in good
order. A machinery shed is an essen
tial on every farm, and 1t should be SO
constructed as to be convenient for
storing away the farm implements
when not in use. Between cuttings Of
alfalfa the mower and hayrake should
DO protected. The corr pillow should
be run inside and the shovels creased
as soon az its seasons work is over.

Value Of Guineas.

We should not think of keeping a
poultry fam, without guineas. The
noise they make often calls attention
to disturbers that otherwise might not
be noticed. There is a good demand
for breeding stock at 50 per pair, the
white kind being especially in demand.
The meat is of good quality, some pre-
ferring it to turkey. They lay twenty
eight to thirty eggs before sitting but
Will lay more If the eggs are removed.

In starting with sheep. as with any

strong. Get fifteen to twenty good
ewes Of a breed you decide Is what
you want and learn the business. But
don't get discouraged over the mis-
taken idea that sheep are such an
lawful" lot of trouble. Some claim
that they are less trouble than any
other animal on the farm. It just

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Household Hints,

When boiling milk put two table
poonfuls of water In the pan first and
let it boil. Milk boiled in this way
will never burn in the bottom of the
saucepan.
Carpets In rooms which are seldom
used are apt to be attacked by moths.
Salt sprinkled round the edges. and
well under the carpet before it is put
down will generally prevent their raw
ages.
If salt is s%prinkled over the range
before frying is commenced there will
be no disagreeable odor if the fat
spatters over.

Law North of B.

No longer can it be said "that there's no law of God nor man runs north of 53." Laws are as vigorously enfored close to the Arctic circle as they are in the most densely populated centers, and it is probable that, aside from any law enforcement, men respect the rights of others here more than in any other commonwealth under the stars and stripes. The trickster will of course, continue to take advantage of the unwary, but no man who comes here and attends strictly to his own business and does not become too con- fidential with strangers, need have fear that his rights are going to be trampled upon.

ARMY CAPTAIN IS
FOUND BY FRIEND
S. D. McAIisfer Unable to Re-
member What Happened
During Wanderings

Captain Samuel ID. McAlister. who
disappeared from his home and duties
at the Presidio last Friday morning
was discovered aimlessly wandering
the streets of Oakland yesterday even
ing. with his mind an almost total
blank. His condition was as mysterious
as his disappearance and, though he
recovered somewhat on being taken
back among familiar surroundings, he
was unable 10 state what had occurred.
The general impression is that he suf-
fered temporary loss of his mind
He was found by Edward c. Epps. an
old friend. While walking up Broad
way in Oakland Yesterday evening E;pps
tance from him and. having read of his
disappearance in The Call, went up to
inquire about it, To all outward ap-
pearapces Captain McAlister was per-
fectly rational, but on addressing him
Epps saw that the man was the vic
tim of some mental trouble. He took
charge of him Immediately and tele-
graphed Captain solomon Avery at the
Presidio of his discovery. He then
placed Captain McAlister in an auto
mobile and had him removed to Avery's
home at the Preside sas quickly as
possible.
An examination by Captain Brown.
the post surgeon, failed to produce any
definite results, except to destroy en-
tirely half formed surmise that Nc
Alister had been drinking. There We're
no evidences of his having touched
liquor recently and neither were there
any marks or bruises Indicating that
he had been struck on the head
Il am afraid Captain McAiister is the
victim of a mental trouble" said Mrs
McAlister last night. He is still in
any account of his movements while
he was away"
