SMALL. COMMUNITIES AND THEIR
 CLAIM FOR ROADS.

vkAIW TUX NVhOJ.
 In the Leader today is printed letter bearing the date of Wiseman, Koyukuk district, June "A. The envelope en- closing the letter is postmarked Bettles, June 9, and Tanana, July 28, it having actually arrived at Tanana between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock p. m. on the last-named date. A perusal of the letter itself will give evidence of lack of mail communication that would be Imaginable if it did not imply such serious conse- auences to the people of that northern district.
 For eighteen years the Koyukuk has been a considerable producer of gold, and for more than ten years, under the hardest and costliest kind of living and working conditions, it has main tained a population of from l5O to 25O. The most competent men who possess a general knowledge of interior Alaska believe the district offers a field for quartz development superior to any other section of the country, and the placer possibilities are at least as great as in any part of the territory.
 Under the circumstances it is some- what remarkable that the district has not been provided with better mail service, to say nothing of roads and trails; for even now, with nothing more than a few blazed trees to facilitate travel, the distance between Tanana and Wiseman can be covered on horse back in much better average time than is made in the open river mail service.
 The Koyukuk and Tanana have paid into the Alaska road fund enough money to have constructed at least a passable winter and summer wagon road from Panama to Arctic City. seventy-tive per cent. of the license money collected in the town of Panama and in the Koyukuk district for the past five or six years has gone to build roads, nearly all of which was expended directly for the benefit of incorporated cities which pay nothing into the road fund. The only benefit the Koyukuk has received from all this money consists of few blazes on trees and limited number of stakes set in the snow as guide to winter travellers. Panama has received no more, for the piece of trail between Panama and Hot Springs is part of military and post road constructed from general appropri- ations made by congress.
 A year and some months ago Tanana co-operated with the Koyukuk in peti- tioning for the opening of trail north

pOSeu at FalrDankS ana the peLlIlOn was of no avail. Fairbanks, meantime, is Reviewing to the head of the road com mission and calling for more appropria- tions.
 In the spring of 1909 when Tanana was asking that some of it's own money be applied to opening up the country to the northward Fairbanks paper [the Tribune, which afterward died not know ing the nature of it's ailment) secured and printed under a scare head an arti- cle from one Dohlemyre, saying 'The Gibbon crowd are acting from selfish motive, but presume the road commis- sion will consider all this" And we presume the road commission did.
 In order to get at the merits of this road question it is necessary to diff ferentiate between military and post roads and roads intended primarily for use by the people. "An act to provide for the construction and maintenance of roads, the establishment and mainten- anee of schools, and the care and sup port of insane persons in the District of Alaska, and for other purposes" ap- proved Jan. 27, 1905, was intended to furnish means for building roads for the peoples use. The nature of the act was such that the roads were to be built from license moneys collected outside of incorporated towns. It was fair presumption that they would be built for the benefit and in accordance with the wishes of the people paying for supervision of the Alaska road commis- sion, and in the earlier days of it's ex- istence that body tacitly acknowledged the local application of the law by ask ing the different communities to supple ment the funds collected from them un- der the law by contributions from their own private means. The military roads are a different proposition, to be built by funds included in the army appro- priation bill.
 Tending to show that congress takes this view of the matter, attention is directed to the following facts:
 Jan. 10 last the house of representa- tives was in committee of the whole considering the army appropriation bill. A paragraph was read proposing an ap- propriation of $l5O,00O for the "con- struction and maintenance of military and post roads, bridges and trails," and specifying that the money should be expended conformably to the provisions of the act of 1905. MT. Macon of Ar kansas raised point of order and was sustained by the chairman. Mir. Hull of Iowa then offered in lieu of the lan- guage stricken out the following: "For repairs and maintenance of military post roads, bridges and trails in the Dis-

At the first sign of roup the bird
should be removed from the flock and
put alone, says the American Guilt
vator. The water vessels should be
thoroughly cleaned and refilled with
water containing a few drops of car
bolic acid. Place the affected bird in
warm, dry place and free from
drafts, with dry sand on the floor.
Give warm stimulating food. Com
mence treatment by giving a spoonful
of castor oil. Wash the nostrils, eyes
and other affected parts with a solu-
ton of chlorinated soda diluted with
twice its bulk of water Repeat this
several times a day. Kerosene should
be freely used about the head of a
roupy fowl Inject the kerosene into
the nostrils with small spring bot
tom oil can. Give the following twice
day: Balsam copaiba, one ounce;
licorice i'll powder, one-half ounce; pip
crime in powder, one dram; add mag
nesia enough to make pills and divide
into sixty parts. Generally under this
treatment the bird will recover if not
too badly affected before treatment is
commenced If the bird RECEIVERS do
not return it to the flock at once, but
keep it on q tonic for some time.

HINTS FOR FARMERS.
Care of Stable Manure.

Briefly, there are a few methods
which can easily be employed by every
farmer which will result in giving him
the largest value for his manure, writes
an Illinois farmer in the New England
Homestead. In the first place, other
things being equal, manure results in
greatest benefit if applied as made by
the use of some kind of a manure
spreader. Probably the best method Is
to load the manure from the stable
every day upon a manure spreader and
haul 1t to the fields.
If this cannot be done the next best
thing is to provide a shed for the ma
nure adjacent to or close to the barn,
clean out the stables every morning and
throw the manure in under the shed.
Here it will be protected from the rain,
and if hogs are permitted to run in the
shed every day the manure will be
worked over, fire fanging will be pre-
vented, the materials will be thorough
ly mixed and rotting encouraged OF
course the shed should be so arranged
that if any liquid manure develops it
will not run off and be lost. If a LID
uid manure cistern can be provided adj
jacent to the manure shed, all the bet
ter. Here the liquid manure can be
collected and eventually taken out and
distributed. If the manure in the shed
shows a tendency to fire fang or dry
out, wet it thoroughly.

Alfalfa For Brood Mares.

Thousands of brood mares have for
their almost sole ration alfalfa hay.
Alfalfa hay and corn form nearly a
balanced ration in. themselves, writes
j. Il. Wing in the Breeders Gazette.
Do not overdo the matter, but feed
alfalfa in limited supply. If the mares
are given daily no more than one
pound of alfalfa hay for each hundred
pounds of their own weight, the hay
will do them no harm, but only good.
If they require Il little more rough
ness than that, make it up by feeding
bright corn fodder or prairie hay. Do
not overfeed with corn either. 4 mod
crate corn ration mcIining to small
ness will give best results.
Pregnant mares ought to have ample
chance for exercise and should come
to foaling time well nourished, strong
and not too fat Then they viii have
safe delivery and suckle their colts

No better use can be made of land
that is not suitable to cultivate than
to either set it or SOW it to trees of
some sort. White pine Is much talked
of, but other hardy native trees do
well. Beeches and naples may be
easily seeded, and spruce also, which
is the best of soft wood lumber trees.
