SETTING A HEN.

Test her first with doorknobs and
corncobs. If her enthusiasm increases,
arrange roomy nest, so she may
turn and leave and return without
breaking the eggs. Underlay the oat
straw with tobacco stems and dust
the hen with louise powder two days
before you give her eggs and redust
the fifteenth day.
Hint--A hen Will not eat at once after
busting aud will soil the eggs If rslt
right back on the nest. Set her in q
secluded spot and you will get good
hatch if you have good hen, good
eggs and you are good fellow to
tend her.
Bill of Fare.-Whole corn. grit. wa
ter. dust box; no green food, meat
scrap nor mash. If YOU are faithful, it
will not be twins nor triplets, but on
the twenty-6rst day she will serve a
whole family of chicklets on the half
shell.

With the tales of its wealth in
our ears, who of us has not longsd
to be out in Goldfield? A city of
chance by day, il rests like city
of enchantment at night, the lights
here and there looking like fairy
wands, and the sunrise quickening
every nerve to renewed endeavor
and reawakening strength, says a
writer in the New Idea Wona ans
Magazine for July.
On the desert, where nature
gives nothing in the way OF pleas
ing vegetation, and mans efforts
with exotics prove unava ling, the
heat either shriveling up every
green thing or the winds blowing
down every weak plant coddled by
loving hands, the sky is always
glorious. Now here in the world
is there more perfect colorirg in
the heavens, more exquisite sunset
behind great bare mountains that
lose their dizziness and ruggcdness
as the Jay wanes and merge into the
soft, beautiful hues Of the late af
tcrnoon and evening sky. Though
the space between observer and the
mountains may be unintcresting
and filled with mine shafts, heaps
IT dumpings, shacks and tents, the
distance holds allurement To Ia }

DON'Ts.

Don't set any kind of hen simply
because you are anxious for early
chicks
Don't forget that feed gets higher as
1t grows scarcer Better buy wheat for
the summer.
Don't write us about your chicks
having indigestion If you give them no
grit. That takes gritl
Don't forget to sow sunflower seed
this spring They add TO the appear
ance of your place and add to the ra-
tion
Don't brag when hen lays double
yolk egg Its a sign of overfat. The
egg has one more yolk, but you may
have one less hen from apoplexy.
Don't put all the eggs into one bas-
ket Sort them into sizes and see that
your good cash customers get the big
ones and bakers dozen occasionally.
Don't forget to place some straw In
protected corners for your turkey nests.
The old hen Will be on the lookout for
a soft place. and you'll keep her near
home by the trick.
Don't forget that sunfiower seeds
have much moisture and must be
spread well to dry. The chickens and
sparrows will save you the trouble II
they have half chance.
Don't send your breeding eggs to the
store If you have surplus. Put them
up in water glass for family use in
| winter. Keep no males among your
market egg layers Germless eggs
/ keep longer. and the fellow who buyJ
! In itching eggs 1T the atore to stDnl 4

DR.. Hale on American Travel

In his monthly talk in the July
Woman's Home Companion, DR.
Edward Everett Hale protests
against the growing commercializ-
ing of travel in America, the max
ing OF it business when il ought
to be a pleasure.
THE railroad people seem TO
think he says, ''that if they can
make the public understand how to
ger from New York to Santa Bar
bara in fifteen minutes less than it
needed year ago, the great battle
of life is gained "But whoever
will try the experiment of saying,
we will show you how to go from
New York to the Pacific and back
again, stopping forty times on the
way, and coming back twice the
man you were when you started,
will make genuine contribution
to the uplift of that hundred mill
lion people who are called Ameri-
cans"

MOTOR BOAT
EXHIBIT AT FAIR

Seattle, June 24.-For the first
time in the history of worlds
fairs the Alaska, Yukon, Pacific
exposition, which will be held here
from June to October IS, 1909,
will have large exhibit of motor
boats. Henry E. Bosch, director
of exhibits and privileges, has now
completed plans for the display
Manufactures are taking up the
matter and their letters indicate
that they will put forth their best
efforts to have big exhibits. They
realize that Seattle is a good mar
ket for motor boats and that more
than likely they will be able to dis
pose of all of the boats on exhibit
ton and more too by the time the
fair closes.
The exhibition being situated
as it is, with Lake Washingto
bordering upon one side of tho
grounds and Lake Union on ii c
other, affords an unexcelled oppor-
tunity for the demonstration OF mo-
tor boats. Lake Washington which
is the largest fresh water body in
the Pacific Northwest, having an
area of thirty eight square miles,
is piled by scores of power boats at
the prcscn time. Seattle has a
motor boat club with q strong men,
bcrshp and its pleasure cruises and
races are held on Lake Washington
1t is asserted that there is no
other city in this country erido~ ed
with better facilities for motor boat
ing than Seattle. Besides Lake
Washington and Lake Union there
are the broad waters of Puget
Sound which ford the enthusiast
great opportunity. There is both
SAT- and fresh water, and TIE seem
cry on ell Of the waters about Sc
attic is unsurpassed. The climate
is such that motor boating can be
enjoyed all the year around.
A pavil on for the motor boat
display will be built on piles owes

prettiest spots on the. exposition $
shore line. 1t will be 100 by 600
feet in size and will be provided
with slips varying from g by 20
feet to 30 by 80 feet. On the
shore side of the pavilion will be
exhibit boats, machinery and ac-
ccsories. The exhibitors will be err
ab1cd to have their boats in tire
water for demonstration to visitors
by trial trips on the lake.
Motor boat races will be a fea-
ture of the sports at the exposition
and it is expected that many rec
ords will be broken. A motor boat

The Alaska coal land bill which has
 been recommended for passage by the senate committee authorizes persons to form associations consolidat ing their holdings to the extent of 2,56O acres, and these associations to be allowed to hold so long as there is no indication of the existence of mon- opoIy. Also, under the provisions of the bill, the United States has the preference at all times 10 purchase coal from the operators for the use of the army and navy.
 Whats the matter with Ketchikan? The Miner man has occasion to talk nearly every day with certain repre- sentatives of that self constituted ju dietary who could not see a ray of sunshine with the naked eye on the Fourth of July in the middle of a blistering desert. Some have been honestly "hard up," and are perhaps still in that condition, but many, if they are looking for work at all, are doing so out ofthe extreme southwest corner of their eyes. Throughout the United States times have admittedly been hard and during the winter there was practically no mining around here, but the man who at this writing has nothing better to do than to cry about the prompt consignment of the Ketchikan Mining District to the nethermost regions needs an operation for cutaract-or quick acting spring tonic. How about local conditions and prospects now? Niblack is in steady operation, the Cymru Company is installing new and expensive ma- ohinery anticipating steady work for large number of men, Mr. Eardley at Dolomi is sinking POO feet on a property of apparently great value and has recently uncovered some very rich ore in the we'll known Valparaiso property, the It Company has develop ed wonderful showing of almost solid chalcopyrite, with comparatively little expenditure, and is now starting the construction of tram over which ore can be taken the day it is com pleted, the Goodro & Thomas property at Karta Bay showing 27 feet of solid ore, is to be opened up this summer and in all probability will become one of the great mines of Alaska, the Alas ka Industrial Company at Sulzer is loading ore as fast as ships are sup piled, employing about sixty men steadily, the representatives of smelt- ing company have spent some weeks examining the properties in this sec- ton and are still here, leading to the fair conclusion that they are finding some that interest them and that they will ultimately take over and operate, the representatives of a great New England corporation are here with view of making Ketchikan their Vest ern headquarters. We are definitely promised wireless station in very short time, which will inevitably be of great business value to the town-and every day the faithful prospectors, who are in reality the very backbone and foundation of frontier country, are starting out on their summer wanderings which are certain, in the aggregate, to result in at least 8 few finds that will eventually become pro- ducers. Take a brace, ye triple tongued nockers.-Miner.

 PC. Mccormick, mayor of Wrangell is quoted by the Seattle P..I. as having said that, as he understands the mat ter, John Corson has no real residence in Alaska. Corson is the candidate of the right-bower branch of the Alaska republicans for delegate to congress-, and the assertion that he is not resi- dent has strong bearing on the case as the act provides that the delegate shall be an inhabitant and qualified voter of the district.
