ALASKA COAL Land
IS VERY VALUABLE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Accessible
coai of the best Alaskan fields, even at
half a cent ton in the ground, is
worth more than most of the coal lands
in the eastern states, notwithstanding
their nearness to lines of transportation
and to market. This statement is con-
tained in a bulletin issued by the geo
logical survey today under direction of
George Otis Smith.
During the Ballinger-P -Pinchot investi-
CATION. a II. Brooks of the geological
survey testified that the accessible coal
in the Bering river and Matamuska dis
trict was worth half a cent ton in the
ground This small figure created the
impressi o1 IN the minds of many people
that Alaska coal lands were of small
value.

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH
VILLAGE

"In Dowlais, South Wales, about If
teen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by a disease known as
the itch. Believe me, it is the most
terrible disease of it's kind that I
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as If a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. l
knew a dozen families that we're SO
affected.
1.-The doctors did their best, but
their remedies were Of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts Of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. Am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap. Ointment
and Reso'vent. the effect was wonder
full ard the result was a perfect cure
In ell cases.
Il may add that my three brothers.

flies have been users of the Cuticura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas

Homemade Trap Nest.

are often curious they may be caught
in this way and confined unneces-
sarily. In the other kind the hen may
go in and out at pleasure, but AN
not be confined until after the egg
has been laid, since the egg itself is
used for closing the trap.
A trap nest is to the practical
poultryman what the Babcock test is
to the dairyman. 1t gives each hens
record of egg laying. Thus the poor
layers may be picked out and the
good ones favored.
A handy trap nest is shown In the
accompanying picture. 1t is so sim
PIE that anyone can make 1t. 1t is.
in fact. merely an ordinary nest with
a circular or square opening in front.
The door, as shown, is Of very light
stuff, pivoted at the top. When the
nest is set, a a wire runs across the
opening and rests against a piece of
tin projecting from the opposite hole.
When the hen enters. she lifts the
loose end which permits the door to
drop behind her. After she has laid.
she 10 removed and the trap set Css
the next one.

POULTRY NOTES.

Drafts in the poultry hause prevent
drafts on the bank.
A little salt In the mash will be
beneficial to the fowls.
No incubator can think: you must
do that part OF the work.
Theoretical poultry raising which
won't work out Is worthless.
A good incubator has but n fault;
It has no pride In Its offspring.
Sliding doors TO the poultry house
will solve the sunlight question.
Raw. windy days work havoc with
the poultry. II allowed out in 1t.
Small i%ncubators should be used
until experience has been gained.
Uniformity in size and shape should
characterize eggs for the incubator.
I%ncubators need the care of mature
minds. Children cannot handle them
properly.
The farm boy and the farm girl
should each own a flock Of good. pure
bred fowls.
Don't let the lice get away with
your chicks while you wonder what
ails them.
The incubator does not conflict with
the sitting hen; she does her work
in summer.
Apoplexy and egg-bound are almost
always the result of excessive fairness
among the fowls.
me hen Is the only individual in
whom a propensity to lay things
around is condoned.
The young rooster does not crow be-
cause he Is happy; he is just advertis-
ing that he is unmarried.
1t would be a good plan to store
some fine loan in a dry place for use
this winter in the dust bath.
Tricks OF the trade is sometimes a
polite term for referring to dishonest
methods in the disposal of products.

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth Of Central Canada. The
statement was made moi long since BY
q railroad man who claimed t have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There Is not q
district Of . fair amount of settle
ment in any of the three Provinces OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
but has Its school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small,
but each important to its own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense of tuition is
but a nominal sum.
The final returns Of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers OF
that country Is about 1875 million dol
lars, as compared with 100 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that to the farmers of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying owe the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-ive dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends In the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. 1t need
not be asked. Can they afford it,"
With crops yielding them a profit Of
$50 to $25 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff.
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting friends
in the different states. and they all ex-
press themselves as we'll satisfied,
and promise to take some of their
friends back with them. There is still
a lot of free homestead land in splen-
did districts, and other lands can be
purchased at a reasonable price from
railway and land companies.

PICKING POULTRY ON FRAME
Greatly Facilitates Work Of
Cleaning Fowl.

Poultry dealers will find part OF
their work, at least, greatly facilitated
by the invention Of a Massachusetts,
man. This invention Is a poultry pick
ing frame and any p%oulterer will at
once appreciate its advantages. It
consists in the first place Of two
arms extending from the wall, where
they are screwed. From the upper
arm hangs a cross-piece, depending
from a spring, while the lower arm
has a member, adjustable to different
lengths, adapted to hoid the head OF

held in the upper bracket and its
head in the lower one. 1t is then in a
position where its feathers may be
plucked rapidly and easily. the spring
in the upper bracket permitting the
necessary elasticity. Only a poulter-
er who has picked thousands Of chick

either had to hold the bird with one
hand or tie it UP and have 1t aop

Telling the Age Of Eggs.

In the Paris markets they have a
certain way of deciding the age OF eggs
which seems practical.
About six ounces of common cook
ing salt is put in a large glass. which
Is filled with water. When the salt Is
in solution the egg is dropped in the
glass.
If the egg is only one day old II i'm
mediately sinks to the bottom of the
glass.
If three days old it sinks only just
below the surface.
From five days upward 1t floats. The
older 1t is the more 1t protrudes out Of
