OwELLERs N ARCTIC REeIoN.
Peculiar Views Of Life Entertained by
Eskimo Men and Women.

These people Of the white world
these children of the snow and ice
give themselves little concern regard
ing what is going on in worlds be
yond their own. The climate in which
they live and the limitations Of their
whole environment make it impossible,
writes j. J.. Harbour in Leslie's Week
~. that there should be much change
in their own manner Of life, and they
do not care for the changes that soap
and water might make in their domes-
tic life, while the women of the fam
lily are not anxious to adopt changes
in methods Of cooking that might
make some of the dishes they pre-.
pare much cleaner and far less dead
ly than they apear to be. But the
best-filled larder in the homes of the
most afluent Of the Eskimos offers
little in the way of variety in food and
the question so vexing to the Ameri-
can housewife: "What shall We have
for breakfast" or for dinner or sup
per, never troubles the Eskimo house
wife, since these meals May not vary
for months at a time and are pre-
pared in the primitive way in which
they were prepared by the Eskimos of
generations and generations ago.
The dress Of the women and the men
is so much alike that if an Eskimo
lady's husbands clothes happened to
be better than her own she might Dor;
row them to wear to some Eskimo So
ciety function without exciting any
comment as to her dress.
AS in some other lands, the man is
regarded as a being vastly superior to
the woman, and the birth of a girl is
never regarded as a blessing. indeed,
1t often happens that both the father
and mother resort to that unayailing
folly Of tears and lamentations when
1t is announced that a new conner is a
girl. A boy can become a great fish
erman or great hunter, while a girl
of what use is she? A mere cum
berer of the earth, regardless of the
fact that she works as many hours
day as, and even more than, a man
when she reaches the goal of her am
bition and marries Not to marry is
as sad a misfortune as may befall her,
and If she is married and widowed she
makes all possible haste in securing a
second partner

1t is related of Phil Spayce. the
minor author, that he never is long at
a loss for a simile, drawing freely up
on his personal experiences. When
he seeks to indicate the i'll humor OF
his characters he does not write:
They were as cross as two sticks
or they were as mad as hornets or
they We're as angry as demons
For these be phrases all 100 hack
neyed Rather does this keen observer
pen it:
They were as snappy as man and
wife who have spent Sunday in fat
hunting.
And with this the final word has
been spoken.

Poultry Items.

Lice are the cause of death of more
half-grown turkeys than from any 9th
er cause.
Foul yards are great sources of dis
ease. Fowl diseases are also caused
by foul coops and foul drinking vessels
Make the entrance to the nests from
the back to make them dark, and make
them big enough so the hens can get in
and out without breaking the eggs.
Almost any breed Of fowls may be
kept within bounds If rightly treated.
even though it is much easier to con-
fine large breeds than smaller ones.
No one wants eggs that have been
washed; they don't look right To get
a good price for eggs they must be
naturally clean as well as fresh.
Overcrowding or confinement in un-
healthful quarters causes diseases
among poultry. This, however, is not
excusable on the farm. There Is plen-
ty of room and sanitation should be
perfect.
Corn Is not a good feed for poultry
that is kept in yards too small to grow
green stuff, but it is the very best feed
for fowl when they are on pasture,
where they get plenty of insects and
clover to pick at.
Loss or waste is one Of the great
drawbacks in the poultry business.
Waste should be prevented, and every
pound Of feed should be made to pro-
ducc the greatest possible gains. Clean
liness is one-half the battle in prevent
ing loss. Keep everything about the
yard clean and much loss will be stop
ped.

Rusty MIX Cans.
~NN~N-NNNNN~

Rusty cans and their effect upon
milk" is the title of a very valuable
bulletin of the University of Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station. Ex-
periments indicate that milk hauled In
the poorly timed or rusted cans is ma
terially injured for cheese making, for
In addition to the retarding influence
of the iron on the rennet action and
the naturalization Of the acid by the
iron, 1t also produces taints or off-fav
ors. The milk cans used to haul milk
10 our creameries and cheese factories
are too often of cheap grade, and
they are used too frequently after they
have become tainted, and the tin be-
comes cracked and checked so that the
iron Is exposed and rusts. In these ex-
reriments, milk was placed in rusty tin
cans and allowed to stand for different
periods, while other samples of the
same milk were kept in glass beakers.
Every time that this experiment was
repeated, the milk kept in the rusty
cans gave evidence of retarding lnfiu
ence on the rennet as compared with
the milk kept in the glass beaKer. Milk
which was allowed to stand in iron
utensils for several hours had pecu-
liar blush color, indicating the pres
ence of iron in the solution. 1t was
evident that the acid in the milk acted
upon the iron and dissolved some of it.
The maximum quantity Of iron dis
solved in the milk ranged from 1 to
IL pounds for every thousand pounds
of milk.
The Bulletin urges that the managers
of cheese factories and creameries see
that the operator is reliable man,
who Will not only practice cleanliness,
but will insist that the factory uten-
sils and those of the patrons are in
first-class condition. He advocates the
use of only such cans in which heavy
steel is used that have been we'll tin
ned, similar to those used I'm Europe
Experience has proven that the cans
OF the best quality, even though they
are quite expensive, are the most eco
nomlcal in the long run.

study of Windbrenkn.

An effort to determine the value Of
windbreaks on farms Is being made by
the Forest Service of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. At pres
ent windbreaks are planted haphazard
and many do not believe in them, so 1t
is time we had some definite iuforma-
tlon on the subject. If there is a par
tlcular kind of tree that makes a bet
Ter protection to crops without doing
any harm we should know 1t. The
Forest Service proposes to find out
Just how much, II any, and when wind
breaks increase crop yields. instrn-
ments Will be used to measure heat and
cold. moisture and dryness, both above
and below ground; to register the force
OF the wind near the windbreaks and
Gome distance away; to measure Light

intensity and take note or the effects Of
shade; to register frosts at different
distances from the trees and to keep
account Of the effect of windbreaks on
the snow which covers the ground to
leeward in winter. Many other meas
urements and tests will be made and
elaborate data will be collected by ex-
perts who will have charge of the in
vestigation. Corn will be the first crop
studied behind windbreaks. Corn is
particularly good crop to experiment
with because it is easily injured by
hot, dry winds, will not stand shading
and is very sensitive to frosts.
If 1t is found, as is generally sup
posed that windbreaks are a decided
advantage to crop yields, it will be an
easy matter for the farmer to plant
trees in his fence rows or along the
sides of his fields toward the prevail
ing winds and thus protect his crops as
well as produce valuable crop Of tim
Der. In view of the fact that our tim
ber supply is rapidly waning, it stands
every farmer in hand to plant some
trees and to maintain the wood lots
upon his farm, so If windbreaks can be
used to advantage, he can easily make
the trees he plants serve a double pur-
pose. The results Of the investigation
will be awaited with interest.-Farm-
ers Guide.

Fowls on the farm should in the very
nature of things be the most profitable
of all fowls. They cost little to feed
and the space they range over costs no
more on account Of the presence of the
fowls. Most of them have free range
and forage for their food; this is profit
able for the owner and enjoyable to the
fowls.
Most farm flocks are too small. They
might easily be increased in size with
little effort and small expenditure. 1t
has been said that a fowl will pay a
dollar year clear profit under such
conditions as prevail on the average
farm IL they are rightly housed and
cared for. This is surely large enough
a profit to be interesting to any farmer.
Usually the farm fowls do not get cred
it for all they really do, for the farmer
seldom figures in the eggs and other
poultry products used by his own fam
lily, which make quite an item in the
course OF year.
Not only the quantity should be in
creased, but also the quality. There are
vastly greater possibilities for profit in
pure-bred fowls than in scrubs. They
look better. weigh and lay better, and
really are better in every way.-Agri.
cultural Epltomist.
Where Our Vegetables Originated.
In 1885 the potato was introduced
into Europe by the Spaniards, who
found 1t in Chile. At almost the same
date it was introduced into England
by the English, who had found 1t cul'
tivated by the Indians of North Amer
| lea. The sweet potato and the arti-
choke are also American vegetables
Satisfy is found growing wild over
Greece, italy and Algeria. Turnlps and
radishes came originally from Central
Europe. Cabbage, which is Of remote
origin, is believed to be a European
vegetable. Asparagus found its origin
in temperate Western Asia. Eggplant
came to us from India. The carrot
grows wild throughout Europe, Asia

ELY CENTRAL IS
THE FEATURE
DENIAL MADE OF REPORT THAT
LARGE HOLDINGS ARE BEING
UNLOADED - REDUCTION IN
PRICE OF METAL.

A line on the recent dizziness of
coppers is given in report from the
east that copper producers and mar
keting agencies are comforting with
view TO putting the price of the metal
at 10 cents, with expectation that
such decrease will result in speedily
cleaning up the surplus, thus en-
abling a new start and healthy but
not violent advance. Decisive action
in this matter is expected during the
week.
Nevada Consolidated and Cumber-
land Ely will suffer less from such
a reduction than most of the coppers
in the producing list, by reason of
the fact that they are making cheap
copper, their costs being stated as
below cents at this time and fur
Their reduction being ahead. as the

The market was dull weak and
very narrow with the public taking
