nr"r or some other vessel would pick them up. But on Saturday the storm set in again, making it dangerous to attempt d landing by means of the TOW boat. They driftcd about until Sunday even ing, when the barge was dashed against the rocks or Montague island. She went to pieces and all the eight men were thrown in to the water. Five seemed to drown almost instantly. Palmer reached the nearby shore, and soon after the donkey engine named Wcsterlund, was also safe on shore. Capt. Peter son was seen cndcavoring to reach the shore and Palmer went out as far as he could and was about within reach of the captain when the undcriow pulled him back and he was drowned.
 PalnIrr and WeSterlund wan drrrh along the shore most of th. night. trying to keep warm, with w" Irrlund complaining that he Was injured and feeling badly. On Monday morning Palmer got some distance away from his companion. and going back for him, found him lying with his racr against a rock and dead. Later on hr also discovered that a dead body had been washad ashore. Palmer had a tablecIoth wrapped about him and this he attached as q signal iO a tree. all SD keeping a watch for any pass ing vessel. He saw what was un- doubtedly the tug Goliath on Monday, hut it was too far out t0 sec his signal. He never saw the Manning, and continued to wan der along the beach, SubSisiing on three cans of corncd beef which he found on shore. On Thursday morning the Armcria put in at IarikOf point. only a few hundred feet from where Palmer then was. He was taken aboard and cared for, and was one of the arrivals this afternoon, and later sailed on the Sampson for Seattle. Mir. Whittier has wired Capt. Perry of tho Manning of the two dead bodies that are on Montague island, inquiring whether the cutter will return for the bodies OF whether he shall send for them from Cordova.

HAYDEN BROWN DASHED ON
 ROCK OFF MONTAGUE ISLAND
cALmED BUT WAITED ANOTHER ON AND LONE SURVIVOR TELLS TALE

The Curduva Ala Skan contains the particulars of the wrrcking of 'thc barge Hayden Brown, given by the only survivor of that ill., fatcd vessel:
 August Palmer, a seaman on the barge Hayden Brown, is the only survivor of the eight men who were on the barge when she went to pieces on a rock off Mon taFue island Sunday evening, May d2 He was washed ashore to the islthd, where. he was picked up on Thursday morning last by the UnitGd States lighthouse tender Armcria. He again had d narrow escape this morning, with all Oth- "Es on board, when the tender had to be abandoned and the 37 men were picked up from small boats by the Admiral Sampson and brought io Corlova..
 Shortly after 5 o'clock on Fri day afternoon, May 10, afIrr bal Hing for hours in a heavy sea and having had several narrow cs- rapes from foundcring. the tug Pioneer cut adrift the barge Hayden Brown, that was heinz iowCd from Akutan bay in SratiIr. 1t was feared that the barge would swamp the tug. SD Ihr ac- fiOn was considered absolutely necessary. That was l8 miles southwest of Cape St. Elias. The Pioneer then cruiScd around for ;}6 hours and not seeing anything further of the barge, the captain believed that she had sunk and all on board drowned. so tht Pioneer came on tO CordOva, reaching here on Sunday morn ing. Deputy Collector of Gus tonls Whittier then got in touch by wireless with the revenue cut fer Manning, bound to Kodiak, and Capt. Perry started 10 search for the barge, without avail. On "Wednesday afternoon the Mann ing put into Cordova, having con sidcred further search useless.
 According to the story of Aug ust Palmer, after the barge was cut adrift for four hours they were tossed and pitched about in an angry sea, with heavy winds Glowing. But about 9 o'clock that night the sea calmcd. and all night it was calm. Capt. Pet "rson did not think it necessary fn man the small boat and pull for shore, which could easily have been done, believing that the Pio-

Some experiments in electrocuting

netted with fine steel wire. coated
with copper and tin alternately The
globes were placed in the trees, at
the ends Of covered wires. and the
moths flying against them completing
the electric circuit, were killed, and
fell into receptacles beneath the
globes. Mr.. Frost estimates that one

WILSON ON DAIRY INDUSTRY
Extensive Demand for Products In
Newly Settled Resions-DeveloP-
ment Urgently Needed.

s.In much of the west cattle raising
for beef has long been the principal
business" said Secretary wilson, out
dairying is comparatively new. There
is an extensive market, however, for
dairy products; and especially in the
newly settled regions it is found that
the dairy industry fills such place
in AGRICULTURAL economy that It's de-
yelopment is urgently needed.
I'm addition. special enterprise
has been undertaken with creamery
patrons in Iowa, the object being to
determine whether it will pay cream
cries to carry on the same sort OF
work among their own farmer patrons
for the sake of getting a better quail
ity of cream as material for making
butter. Here, also, record Keeping
has been introduced, along with other
improved methods, and the effort is
made to discover the leaks that re-
duce profits.
I'm the older states Of the north,
where dairying is already an estab-
lished industry, the work of the de-
partment outside of advice to individ-
uals upon request, consists chiefly in
the propagation Of cow-testing asso-
Citations and the improvement of city
milk supplies. Cow-testing associa-
tons are societies for cooperating in
the keeping of herd records by en-
gaging a man who goes from farm to
farm periodically. makes observations.
and keeps records for the herds of all
the members of the association. By
this means records are secured with
out the trouble or expense involved
when each man keeps them for him
self; and in various other ways the
cooperation of the farmers is produc-
tive of profit. The primary objects
are to detect and weed out inferior
individual cows, and by the use OF
purebred bulls to perpetuate and In
tensify the valuable characteristics OF
the COWS that are found to be good
ones-thus raising the average quail.
ity of the individual cow and the to-
tai productiveness of the herd. There
are So cow-testing associations now in
20 states. comprising $4,000 cows.
"The records of one Of these asso-
Citations show that the profit was
doubled after four years work. For
instance, a man with eight COWS
found, the first month of keeping rec
ords, that he was losing five and one
half cents per COW, or Al cents on his
herd for that month. After three
months testing he was making a
profit of $32 month on the herd, and
at the end of the year his profits had
increased to $50 month. This not
able increase was due largely to the
sale of five of his poorest cows, and
the purchase of as many well-produc
ing ones to take their places. In addi
ton. there were changes made in the
methods of feeding which conduced Il
the result"

ALFALFA AND BROOD MARES
In Irrigated Section Many Colts Born
Dead on Account OF Feed-Give
Some Grain With Hay.

Alfalfa hay has a very great neld
OF usefulness in feeding all classes
OF live stock under western condi
lions. but II cannot safely be fed to
brood mares In unlimited quantities.
writes Prof. f. ]. Iddings.
From some sections OF the irrigated
belt have come some reports OF
large percentage of colts born dead
or weak and deformed. In some cases
an over-used and defective stallion
is undoubtedly responsible. In many
cases. however. when colts are most
In the manner heretofore mentioned.
the farmers are feeding alfalfa alone
TO their mares. II should not be 80
fed. For best results with the brood
mare some grain should be fed In
addition to the hay. In case II Is de-
sired to feed large amount OF hay
as compared with the grain. the hay
ration will be improved and made
safer by combining wild hay. tim
othy or even oat or wheat straw. with
the alfalfa. In no event should a brood
mare weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds
be fed more than 10 or 16 pounds Of
alfalfa daily.
A sole ration OF alfalfa hay contains
a much larger proportion OF nitrogen
than the in-foal mare needs OF can
use. The surplus must be eliminat-
ed as a waste. and the condition lays
an extra burden on the digestive
tract and on the organs OF eliminn-
ton. Especially heavy is the labor
placed ON the kidneys.
