POlNDEXTER RAPS ALASKA'S CRITICS

Arm chair mushers and parlol
pioneers of New York and Seattle
who draw long faces when speaking
of the alleged hardships, poverty and
general worthlessness of Alaska, were
roundly scored b. Senator Poindexter,
in an address at Spokane, last week.
Reiterating his former statement that
"there is nothing the matter with
Alaska" tie insurgent leader spoke
at length OIL his recent trip through
the region with former Forester Gift
ford pinchrt.
Alaska is no land of little sticks"
he said, "and We will soon learn 10
regard Alaska as one of the nations
greatest assets. These armchair
mushers and Ia,lor pioneers, and the
papers controlled by them, tell US
that Alaska coal is worthless and Of
small quantity. found the measures
vast aud valuable. But the opening
of the coal fields there will not mean
property to that country and the
public will derive little good. The

state of fertility involves the in.
telligent use of large quantities Of
barnyard manure. The Question -,
when and how to apply it most ad.
vautageouslx is, however, sometimes :
puzzling one. Particularly is this
true in ~ fcase of the man wnc
grows syl ln grain only; '''"a it beins Sns
well kn}t, of course, that manure
may prdnI a detriment rather than
benefit Wfen its application is fol-
lowed at o4ce by wheat or oat
crop. But lhe man who makes q
practice OF growing cultivated crop
each year. me disposal of the annual
accumuatiov of barnyard manure pre-.
sents no serious problem. He will
apply the hanure to the land which
is to receive the cultivated crop.
There are two good reasons for
suggesting that whenever possible
barnyard manure should reach the
fields in the fall rather than in the
spring of the year. First, there is les,
waste of the elements of fertility by
the leatrfg effects of the winter and
spring rains. Second, when applied in
the fall and also turned under by
fall plowing, decomposition sets in i'm
medately, progresses slowly during the
winter, then proceeds rapidly with
the warming up of the soil in the
spring, Nitrogen, one of the most
important of chemical elements to
growing plants, is thus made available
tor its use even before the crop is
planted. Fall plowing, especially whei
left rough, also puts the soil in the
best possible condition for the abb
sorption and retention of the winter
and spring rains. If properly work.
ed down in the spring, capillarity is
readily reestablished with the under
soil ard conditions made favorable for
reducing to a minimum the loss of
moisture ly surface evaporation dur
ing the dry season. These conditions
nat eas " obtained when the manure
is spread in the springtime. Hence,
whenever possible, spread the man
ure and plow it under good and deep
in the .all of the year. c. S. Jones,

MONEY IN
BETTER STOCK

The man who loves the sight of a
broad-backed steer was in his element
at the recent International Dry
Farming congress, held at Colorado
Springs, Col, for he found his natural
tendency upheld in opinions voiced at
practically every session of the con-
vention. w. Frank Gardner, a
veteran stockman of Sturgis, S. d.,
was one of the most pronounced adj
vocates of the live stock plan of
drv land farming.
81 thought | had been put out OF
business by the new settlers" said
Mr.. Gardner, but now l find that
there is more money in keeping loo
head Of better stock. better fed and
better carel for. with small Der
cent of less, than there was in keep
ing the same rnmber on the open
range. Also the more manure I can
put into my sell the more capable it
will be of holding moisture and the
less it will suffer when drouth comes.
nairyirg in many sections of the
northwest is rapidly gaining on hor-
ticulture and Is bringing in more
money than any other industry. The
dairymen are considering the fertility
of their soil, the greatest asset re-
mainirg today to the American people
Sattle in a new country must
accept system CT farming that will
bring luic'i returns in actual cash.
The stock business, especially the
dairy business will do that"

VALUE OF COOPERATION.

Not so long ago farmer, VINO at-
tended one of the corn shows, though
he would play sharp trick on MS
neighbors by purchasing a lot OF seed
corn which had won big prize, pay
ing therefor something like $40 an
ear. This he planted without speak
ing of his purpose to any one, with
the hope of capturing prize the
succeeding year. What was hs
chaprin to find his crop poorer than
before. A neighbor casually remark
ed to him that he could not under
stand why his corn was SO 1lhe
when he had only paid a dollar OF
60 a bushel for the seed. This FUR
tier enraged the smart farmer ane
he went to the next corn show anc
gave some of the people there
.n;oce of his mind" He was asked
What kind of corn his neighbor plant
ed and when he told of his methods
and of the success of his next 200

Renner of Cincinnati, who has beel
afflicted with the dread rheumatism
for years, but now for the first tim
in years can walk about most spright
ly without the aid of his cane. Thi
wonderful Improvement, the physic
ians say, is due to the formic acid in
jected into the upatients system by
the stinging bees, acting as a counter
irritan and multiplying the rhe,n,a
tic pains.
John Renner Is a most willing pat
lent to the unique treatment, though
he has never before been stung b.
a bee. In spite of all this he takes
the stings unflinchingly; and Iharr
acute as the pain is, he declares it is
pain of relief compared to the dull
and incessant pains of his rheuma'
tism.
Twice each week the patient visits
the apiary of Fred w. Muth and Is
stung by the bees from three TO
five times at each of these treatments
The stings are applied by Muth 70
Renners rheumatic arms and body
where the rheumatism is most notice
able. The experiment with the bee
sting cure has been going on for two
weeks, and the patient has just re-
ceived II stings to date, which have
transformed him from hobbling about
on cane to one who can walk al
most as sprightly as any one.
Physicians who are watching the
case declare that the formic acid
will soon inoculate his entire system,
and the rheumatic pains, due entirely
to a poison in the system, will give
way to the poison of the bee stings.

CARE OF PASTURES.

If considerable amount of care
and judgment are not exercised in
the management of pastures during
fall great damage may be done not
only to the land, but to the pasture
grasses as we'll. The green leaves are
the digestive organs" of the plants
and so should not be cropped too
close If grasses are kept cropped
close to the ground the roots suffer
from lack of nourishment and are
liable to die during the dormant sea-
son. 1t is a far better practice to
divide the pasture into two or more
sections and rest one part while the
other is being used. BY this method
stock are continuously supplied with
lowed time to recuperate. Stock
should be taken off pastures early
enough in fall to allow the grasses
to cover the ground and thus serve
as cover crop to protect the roots
from the cold of winter Another
objection to pasturing late in the fall
is that the soil is cut up, and the
physical condition damaged, cs-
pecially If the soil is of clayey
nature. The small gain will be more
than offset by the diminished yield
the following year.
In general, it is we'll to observe
the following points.
l. Do not allow the grass to be
cropped too close at any time.
2. Do not allow cattle to tramp
over the fields when the ground is
soft.
9. Do not pasture SO late IN faii
that the grass cannot store up food
for the roots and cover the soil.
4. DO not pasture in spring before
the grass is well started and con-
tains a sufficient nourishment to
warrant its use.
