BRINGING IN THE GOLD.
How the Precious Metal Is Collected,
Guarded and Transported in Alaska.


''Six tons and a half of yellow gold.
S3,2O0,G00 worth of virgin metal. the
largest single shipment ever brought oat
from Alaska, was unloaded from the
steamship Jefferson of the Alaska Steam
ship company a couple of weeks ago."

and about 100000 by express, coming
from Fairbanks Circle, Dawson, and 9th

night and day to prevent any possibility
Of robbery. At White Horse the gold

to Seattle.
"After singing 100 heavy sacks of gold

Food Value of Bettermilk.

Buttermilk is a nutritious and
wholesome food, or drink, and it is
relished by a great many people
There is a good sale for it in all towns
and cities OF any size. The quality of
buttermilk, like all other foods, is de-
termined by the way it is prepared.
To secure the most wholesome prod
uct, keep the milk as pure and clean
as possible, use the most pure water
obtainable and practice absolutely clean
methods in churning. 1t must be held
at a low temperature in order to have
it fresh for any great length of time

A Butter Fraud.

An ingenious fraud in the butter
line was brought to light recently in
England. In that country the amount
Of moisture in butter is limited by
law to 16 per cent. Australian and
New Zealand buffers, On the other
hand, usually contain only per cent
of water. Taking advantage OF this
fact, several firms imported large
quantities Of these colonial buffers,
to which per cent Of water was then
added thus bringing them down to
the British standard. AS the added
water naturally cost nothing and the
product was sold at the current price,
a substantial profit was made.

Effects of Lining Soil.

The continuation of an experiment
in Aroostook County, Maine, shows
that, while lining is exceedingly bene-
fetal to the grass and clover crops,
even moderate application Of lime
to the soils in that section leads to
a considerable increase in the amount
Of scab on the potato crop, even after
three years in grain and grass. Two
successive crops of potatoes on lined
soils after two years In grass showed
an alarming increase of scab on the
second year crop.

Ants Destroy Scale Insects

Prof. Harlan Of California has dis
covered that the ordinary black ant
will remove the scale from fruit trees
without injuring the tree or leaves In
the least. He says their work is more
complete than that accomplished by
spraying or by any of the imported
insects. The ants are captured by
placing plate of sugar near an ant
hill, and when covered with ants the
plate is put in the forks of the infect
ed tree, The ants leave the sugar and
go to work on the scale. AS soon as
they all leave the sugar the plate is
placed at the foot of the tree, and as
the ants come down after having
cleaned the tree of scale, they again
assemble on the sugar and are thus
easily removed to another tree.

Spirits May Roost in 1t.
The custom of placing green bough
on the roof Of a newly built house is
not confined to Germany, but was adopt
ed by the French Canadians, who
brought it with them from Brittany.
The custom originated from the SUI
perstition prevalent centuries ago that
every tree is inhabited by a spirit. Con-
sequently it was believed that every
time q tree was felled another spirit
was dispossessed, and this was supposed
to cause some bitterness on his part
against society.

1t is claimed that at the present rate
Of use the known supply of nitrate Of

fifty years, while as a matter of fact
the consumption is increasing steadily
and rapidly. 1t is therefore safe to
say that before twenty-five years have
passed the supply will be low, unless
new fields are discovered, and that the
price will be high. Over a million and
half tons were used last year. This

Weight and Feed.

When one comes to figure on a
difference in weight for the same age
and feed OF 200 to 400 pounds, and
a difference IN price Of several cents,
he can see as plainly as he can see
anything that there is more money in
improved stock Suppose a 2-year-old
scrub steer weighs 900 pounds and
sells for 4 cents a pound, while a
2year-old pure bred weighs 1900
and sells for Ga cents, there VIII be
$50 for one and SO for the other.
Is there any man in his right senses
who can think it will not pay to keep
well-bred stock when he compares
these figures? They are not mag
mary at all, but represent the quota
lions in the market reports during the
last few months. The real question
then IS, how to get better cattle.
Bulls are cheap just now, and in fact
have been selling lower than cows and
heifers.-Denger Field and Farm.

Cultivate the Orchard.

The young orchard should be culti-
waited, but not with grain or grass
crops. Corn, potatoes, beans or other
vegeta bles, well cultivated, are ideal
for young orchard. The ground
should be stirred every two or three
weeks until the middle of August In
going through the orchard with the
harrow, care should be taken not to
injure, bruise or bark" the trees To
avoid this, the horses ought to be
muzzled and the outside portions of
traces and whifletrees padded.
In going through some young or
chards early in the season for the pur-
pose of demonstrating pruning, Prof.
Surface found many cases of trees
which had been seriously damaged
through being grazed by whiffletrees,
or struck or bitten by the horses. In
going through the orchard, rub off all
unnecessary sprouts.-Rural World.

Women and Poultry.

There Is no field open to women to-
day that Is less crowded than the
poultry field; none that offers as good
returns for ones labor; none that
affords so much freedom when taken
as vocation, and none that makes
one so nearly independent Of others.
Some of our best planned poultry
farms, as well as our best-paying ones,
are the outgrowth of woman's skill
and ingenuity in planning, and her
financial ability in conducting the en-
terprise. Most women show quail
f1cation for neatness about poultry of
which men are occasionally void, and
as cleanliness is an important factor,
she often outstrips our lords Of crea-
ton" in results obtained. The care
of poultry is productive Of good health
to women engaged therein, giving
them sufficient exercise in the open
air, and just enough care and respon-
sibility to make their work interest
Ing and to make them feel their i'm
portance. The field for women is
almost unlimited, and it pays her bet
ter profits than she can reasonably ex-
pect from most other business ven
tures.-Commercial Poultry.

Slaughter of Robins.

Virginia, North Carolina and Ten

Union where the slaughter Of robins
IS permitted by law Recent investi-

600 robins are killed in these three
states during the winter months 1t
IS fact that every robin earns 81 in

crops every year. The hunters sell
them at 5 cents apiece. This Is a
waste of millions Of dollars and ought
to appeal to the hard, common sense
of every farmer. It ought to be
stopped in every state.
