United States Geological Survey, says
in a recent report that for railroad and
manufacturing purposes the consump-
ton of oil, particularly in California,
largely exceeds that of coal-in fact,
for railroad use oil is practically the
only fuel. The report shows that about
100000 barrels of California petro.
leum were consumed by locomotives in
1909, as against little over 100000
for 1910. The total consumption of
fuel oil was between 35,OOO,OOO and
100000 in 1909, and between 100000
900 and 50,00O,OOO barrels in 1910. The
probability is that the consumption of
fuel oil displaced about 100000 tons
of coal on the Pacific coast in 1909, and
between 100000 and 100000 in
1910 The per capita consumption of
coal in California, Oregon and Wash
ington averages a little over one ton,
while the ravages of consumption in
the United States is about five and a
quarter tons for each inhabitant

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22-The gen
eral impression of a land of icebergs
and bleak headlands is given a much
softer tone by the annual report of
Alaskan agricultural experiment sta
tons, just issued. The report is by
&c. c. Georgson, special agent, and is
most interesting to those who believe
Alaska's only asset to be coal and
gold.
Potatoes, for example, are proving
most successful crop in that far
northern region, and are mentioned in
the report as one of the big agricul
itural possibilities of the terTitory-a
most valuable contribution to the food
supply of the country. The potato, IN
fact, is the chief vegetable crop IN
Alaska. Potatoes can be grown in al
parts of Alaska, even north of the
Arctic circle, according TO the report

San Francisco Chronicle: 81 can as
sure you, gentlemen, that if at any fu-
ture time a rupture occurs between
the United States and Japan my peo-
pie will not be the ones to take the
initiative. Never in the history of the
diplomatic relations between the
United States and Japan was an un-
kindness shown; they are based on a
mutual respect for one another, and
so far as Japan is concerned these re-
lations within the past two years have
assumed a greater and deeper mean
ing than usual-a meaning bordering
on the sentimental" So declared DR..
Inozo Nitobi, the Japanese educator,
speaking to the members of the Com
monwealth Club at their luncheon in
the Palace Hotel yesterday.
Dr. Nitobi, whose mission in the
United States is incidental with that
of David Starr Jordan in Japan, chose
for his theme, THE, Traditional and
Present Friendship Between the
United States and Japan" Speaking
of the beginning of that friendship,
DR.. Nitobi told of the first Japanese
reaching the Pacific Coast, saying that
scores of Japanese fishermen were
shipwrecked in 1852 and made their
way to the northern shores of Wash
ington and Southern Canada. From
there they came south, until they be-
came scattered along the entire coast.
Washington Irving, he said, in his
work, Astoria afforded the first
authentic account of the shipwrecked
Japanese.
Perry Japan's Benefactor.
The speaker paid a tribute to Com
mander Perry and Thomson Harris
"In Japan" he said, I'VE call Com
modore Perry the 'Benefactor Of
Japan ! have studied the life Of
Perry, and | find that when he came
across the Pacific with that great mis-
sion of peace from the United States
he asked the government in Washing
ton if he should resort to arms provid-
ing his mission famed. ! believe the
commodore wanted to fight, and ! do
not blame him, for he was born
fighter The government, however, re.
piled NO.
The good commodore succeeded in
what always was thought an impossi-
BILE task. He knocked and knocked at
the gates of Japan until we had to
open our old rusty doors. The Japan
ese people have erected a monument
to our Benefactor
The more hear of the life of Com
modore Perry the more | think of
Thomson Harris, who came to us at
a time when anti-foreign feeling in
Japan was at its highest AS yet we
have erected no monument to this
man, but before many days l expect
to see one built"

DOCTORED TEA
SENT TO CHICAGO

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27.-The
steamship Siberia, which arrived last
Saturday from the Orient, brought
among her cargo 100000 pounds of tea
for American consumption, and the
importers at once announced that in
view of the rejection of 100000
pounds of tea at this port recently be-
cause it was found to have been col
ored artificially, they would not take
the chance f having this lot reject
ed also for the same reason. They,
therefore, gave Customs Collector
Stratton notice that they would not
enter the tea at this port, but would
ship it in bond to Chicago, where they
felt that the tea would pass muster
at that custom house.
They refused also to submit any
samples to the customs authorities
here, the samples being desired 70 :
the purpose of checking up the report
of the examination at Chicago should
the tea be admitted at that port as
free from coloring matter.
1t is understood that all other ship
ments of tea from the Orient to this
port will be shipped to Chicago in
bond and when admitted, will be
shipped back to this city and other
Pacific Coast points by rail for con
sumption, the consumer to pay the
additional freight expenses.

DENATURED SUGAR FOR CALF
icaI Addition to Skim MiIk-Re-
suit Of Experiment.

It has been found that denatured
sugar forms a valuable and economi-
cal addition to skim milk for calves.
Denatured sugar is sugar to which
various ingredients have been added
for the purpose OF rendering it unfit
for human consumption. 1t is claimed
that, contrary to general belief, 1t
does not have an injurious effect on
the digestive organs; on the contrary,
that its solubility renders 1t more d.
gestible, and that 1t has a high food
value The amount fed at first Is
one ounce per quart Of skim milk, and
1t Is claimed that It can be fed to
calves ten days after birth without
danger At first not over 81 ounces
ia given at feeding, but afterwards
the amount may be raised to ~
ounces per quart of skim milk.
or two lots Of four calves each fed
on skim milk supplemented by starch
and denatured sugar, as an expert.
mcnt, the respective profits averaged
$1s.24 per calf In the lot fed sugar and
Sc IL in the lot fed starch. The calves
were kept an average Of 95 days.

CARING FOR THE "DRY" cows
No Profit In Allowing Animals to Run
Down In Flesh During Winter
Should Have Grain.
By w. NJ Kelley

By W. NJ kelley
l know dairymen who do not feed
shippers or dry cows any grain food
during the winter until they freshen
late in the winter or early spring.
This may be a cheap way of roughing
them through the winter, but such
methods have never returned a profit
on the writer's farm.
l know that 1t seems loss to feed
dry cows, but it Is not so much Ques-
ton as to whether farmer can az
ford to feed them grain as 1t Is
whether or not he can afford to have
them become run down in flesh and
be unable to give good yield of milk
after they freshen in the spring
Two pounds of good wholesome
grain food day to each COW will help
wonderfully and in connection with
good ensilage and clover hay will main
tain her in very good condition.
We have found early cut clover hay
one Of the best winter feeds for dairy
clover to timothy hay and invariably
the yield of milk would fall of.
Well cured clover hay comes nearer
to being balanced food than any
other one crop we grow on our farms.
II the cow could hold enough clover
hay we would not need to feed any.
thing else. but she likes variety and
does decidedly better when fed ensil.
age with her clover hay Corn ensil
age adds palatability and succulence
to the ration and makes 1t easier ia
masticate and digest than dry fodder
The silo is also great saver Of la
Dor and barn room and four tons OF
corn ensilage can be stored In the
space occupied by one ton of hay.
The dairyman who Is without q
silo to provide succulence during the
winter months is certainly up against
a hard proposition.

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit.
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi.
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result. we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has
head of hair which Is pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

The cans are usually kept beneath the
water by slipping strips of board OF
proper length, over the tops of the
cans and under lodges at the side OF
the box. In using this method one
runs the risk of upsetting the cans
when putting the strips in position.
An improvement over this method Is
shown In the accompanying sketch
which is self-explanatory. The appara-
tus is made of strips of board, one
