gave very interesting and instructive address on conditions and needs of the natives of Alaska. A large map of the territory hung in sight of the audience and was used by him to indicate the locations of the various settlements. He said that only those whe, truly be- lieved in the Gospel of Christ can successfully take up .this work for pagan people. It was absurd, in his opinion, for certain globe trotters to assert that pagan people lived under such conditions that there was little or no need for missionary work among them. When he went to Sitka he found the people in nthe utmost degra- dation. The natives were immoral, were praeticing witcheraft and making ram in their own stills, and army off eers and other whites were doing noth- ing in the way of seeking to uplift them. But the power of Gods Gospel in Christ is seen in Alaska today in the changed conditions, not only of individual life, but of community life as we'll; and no fair, minded person can gainsay it. He characterized the na- lives as good workers and able people and one of the most striking things about them is their treatment of woman, who is in all things the equal of her husband They have gotten to the point now where they need the right sort of guidance in their affairs and we must see to it that they have their just and legitimate rights accord ed to them by congress.-The Indians Friend.

Following the extended tour of the Yukon and Southeastern Alaska dis tricts during the summer by W. Yolen Williams, comes the announcement that the Granby Smelling Company will begin the construction of large smelter in the Portland Canalcountry. There are also hints at the purchase of many mining properties iu this part of the country. MT. Williams made thorough examination of the White horse mines and in company with c. 0. Muir. of the United Shelter O., made a trip into the Rainy Hollow mines. After examining the holdings there he expressed himself as very well pleased with the country and the mineral de- posits.

FEEDS AND THEIR
FERTILIZING VALUE
BY PROF. G. 3. HART;
College of Agriculture.

Taking into account the relation
between matured and young stock,
milk-producing and non-producing ami
mails, as found on the average farm,
il is conservative to assume that at
least so per cent. of all the fertiliz-
ing constituents present in the mate
rails fed on the farm, is voided by
the animals in the solid and liquid
excreta. The 20 per cent lost In
cludes the amount removed in the
milk that retained by the young ami
mails during their growing period. and
consequently, the fertility removed
from the farm by the sale of animals
grown thereon. From this 1t will be
readily seen that the composition OF
the feeding stuff really determines
the value of the eXcrement. The
manurial value of the excrement pro-
duced from one ton of feeding mate
rial is. therefore, 80 per cent. of the
value of the nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash contained therein. At
prevailing prices for these elements,
the manure combined solid and
LIQUID excrement) from one ton OF
wheat straw would be worth $l.95,
while that from one ton of corn.
meal. wheat bran, or linseed meal,
would be worth 1924, $10.19, and
$f5.78 respectively.
In most cases the amount of nitro
gen is the factor determining the
fertiIizing value of feeding stun.
This is due to the fact that nitrogen
is usually present in larger proper
ton than phosphoric acid, or potash,
and is much more costly when pur-
chased.
A farmer who buys large quantities
of concentrates is increasing the fer
fifty of his land provided he is TAX
ing proper care of the manure. At
the University Farm there is gain
every year in fertilizer elements
from feeding stuffs purchased, over
the losses sustained by the sale OF
animals and animal products.
In purchasing feeding stuffs, one
should always consider their fertiliz-
ing value as well as their feeding
value, for. while the substance is
bought primarily to feed, it is some
times possible to buy different mate
rails which win serve practically the
same as feeds and yet vary greatly
in their value as fertilizers. 1t is
indeed often sane practice to sell

grade No. 1, the effect is usually sat,

of the cream at the farm so that it is
in much better condition when the.
haulers gather it than 1t was before
the cream was graded.
Grading may be done to some ex
tent by taste alone, both for flavor and
acidity, but the apparatus shown in
the illustration makes possible more
accurate determination of acidity
without loss of time, while the creams
is being received. 1t is described in
detail in Bulletin go of this college.
Another creamery in northern Wis.
consin had some difficulty in convinc
ing it's patrons of the advantages Of
delivering a rich cream. To over
come this, the factory management di.
vided the cream into two lots and paid
~ cent more per pound butter fat for
cream testing over 20 per cent fat
than for that testing under 20 per
cent fat. This grading in short time
changed the richness of the cream de-
livered by the patrons, so that at the
time the writer was at the factory
there were only about IL out of the
$50 patrons that continued to skim
cream testing under % per cent. fat.

The natural result from a system of
buying cream in which the same price
is paid for good and poor quality is
to discourage the production of good
fresh cream and gradually lower the
quality of the butter because of the
defects in the cream from which It is
made. This causes a reduction in the
selling price of the butter, and all the
farmers suffer financial loss because
of the insanitary condition of certain
lots of cream and the effect these lots
of poor cream have ON the quality of

The most promising suggestion for
the encouragement of the producer of
