her troops in Tripoli by sea. Will

Less Gold From Alaska,

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A marked
falling of in tho production OF gold
in Alaska, due to the failure of placer
mines in the Fairbanks and Seward
peninsula districts is reported In the
preliminary statement of the geologi.
cal survey upon Alaska mining con-
ditions for 1910.
The production within the year has
been approximately GIG, 800, 900. com.
pared with go, 81, 900 in 1909. The de-
cline. which has been apparent for
some time. is blamed almost entirely
on the working out of the beach plac.
ere about Nome and the other placer
mines Of the two districts named.
Much good placer dirt is left, but
cannot be worked probably under
present conditions. Experiments are
now being made in Alaska to find an
economical method. The geological
survey experts do not believe the fu.
ture will develop any placer mines as
rich as those now giving out.

Libel Suit Dismissed.

WASHINGTON, Ian. 3.-The supreme
court today handed down a decision
finding against the government in the
libel suit instituted against the Press
Publishing company, publishers of
the New York World. The indictments
were quashed and the lower court was
sustained in it's holding that federal
courts have no jurisdiction. The case
grew out of attacks made upon the
administra tioo In connection with the
work at the Panama canal by the
World. The paper declared that there
had been graft In the purchasing of
the canal rights from the French com.
panies which had operated there be.
fore the undertaking was assumed by
the United States.

local history. While the pass.
Ing of old-time associations and
methods is viewed by pioneer
citizens with some measure of regret,
they acknowledge that the change is
for the common good. Better results
from cultiv alton of the soil justify
the abandonment of the former custom
OF using 1t only for grazing purposes.
While the work of settlement the
past season was not prosecuted under
normally favorable circumstances, un.
usual climatic conditions being q
most d~iscouraging feature during the
greater part of the year, it made rapid
and satisfactory progress. With the
return of seasons of average rainfall

will present vistss of waving grain
and forage crops that will delight \he
eye and enthuse the progressive spirit
OF every citizen of this part OF the

Fraud In Adulterating Leather.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Fraudulent
"loading" OF leather by glucose and
other articles is being practised to q
great extent to the detriment, of lower
quality of shoes, according 10 inform.
alton laid before congress by Dr..
Wiley, the chemist of the department
of agriculture.
D. Wiley has gathered a collection
OF samples of this loaded leather and
has pronounced them simple frauds.
ESPECIALLY Is sole leather loaded"
said DR.. Wiley. "Glucose adds to the
weight of the leather, and of course
when you go out into the wet and
snow the glucose runs out and the wa.
ter runs into its place. There ought
to be some law to prevent the prac
tice.'

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
The Care of Harness.

Harness should be thoroughly clean
ed and oiled at least once a year, pref
erably in the spring. This will cause
it to retain it's fiber and to last longer.
While there are many ways of clean
ing and oiling harness, the following
is as simple and effective as any
Take the harness apart and soak the
parts in a washtub of lukewarm wa
ter containing a handful of washing
soda. Let the harness soak for fifteen
or twenty minutes, then scrub the
parts on a board with an ordinary
scrub brush. When the leather is
nearly dry blacken with edge black
ening, which can be obtained at any
harness shop. Unless the harness is
thus blackened or lampblack put in
the oil it will turn red. When dry take
a cotton cloth and rub the harness
thoroughly. Always rub straps with
the grain. This lays down the fiber
and gives a smooth edge. Take a
quart of neatsfoot Oil. add a small
amount of kerosene, mix and warm,
then give the leather two coats, using
the oil freely. Hang up to dry. taking
care not to hang in the sun When the
oil Is we'll dried sponge with white
CASTLE soap and buckle the parts to-
gether. Harness treated in this way
will neither turn red nor become gum
my. and if often sponged with white
CASTLE soap a be kept looking like
new.

RAT|ONS
FOR THE LAYING HEN
Careful Feeding Necessary to
Produce a Perfect Egg,

When the white of an egg is watery
1t shows that II is not feeding a
good, we'll balanced ration. The lack
of protein in feeding causes it. Four
teen and a half per cen of the egg is
protein. This can be remedied by feed
ing plenty of clover, wheat bran and
wheat middlings. AS a result the white
of the egg is thick and attractive.
Ten and a half per n of the egg is
fat: that is the yellow. If the yellow
is pale it a be colored by feeding.
How often an egg in the winter is
found with a shell so brittle that it
won't stand shipping! Sometimes one
finds an egg with nothing but tissue
no shell at all. What is the matter
with that hen? The shell is composed
of lime, and 1t is a great drain on the
hens system to produce the shell.
Glover is a rich protein. and it is rich
in lime: but. in addition to this, Stake
a little lime and put 1t in the shell
box: the hens will go there If they re-
luire it. and the result will surprise
II if he tries it. Break an & in a
auc and see the result of proper
feeding. The white Of the egg is thick,
heavy; it is attractive, nutritious;
the yellow is the golden hue desired,
and the shell is firm and strong and
will stand shipment. There is the
perfect egg, just brought about by
thinking the matter over carefully and
feeding intelligently.-Wcstern Farmer.

Pearls From Cocoanuts,

Few people know that the cocoanuts
Of the Malay peninsula sometimes pro-
duce pearls that are highly priced by
the natives.
The stones are not unlike the pearls
of the mOllusks and are similar in
composition to the oyster pearls, hav-
ing calcium carbonate and a little or
game matter. The mollusk pearl is
said to come into existence by the eff
forts Of the oyster pearl to dispose of
Irritating particles that have entered
the shell. But the cocoanut could have
no cause for producing these concre-
lions, which. while they have great
similarity to the pearl. are not pearls.
These connections form just beneath
the stem, and a pure white pearl
brings a high price, as 1t is supposed
by the natives to possess some kind Of
a charm. Cases have been known
where the cocoanut pearl has been
sold as a mollusk product. but such
instances are rare.

for NJ. Bonhomme he deposits it in
the box bearing that gentleman's
name. The missive opens a lever at

NJ. Bonhomme's apartment. There,
by an ingenious mechanism, the con-

and a bell is rung automatically to

Its duty done. the box descends to
take its place with those Of the other
