Ti1ngs Of a hitherto unknown race

that the natives bear names that can
be translated into English. suggesting
that survivors OF the Franklin expedi

They have some Scandinavian char.
acteristics and are different from any
other American aboriginos. Two OF
them wore boards Of reddish color
and all had light eyebrows. Nothing
learned from them indicated that the
race as II exists today had ever seer

Tho courier who first went forward
to psrley with them almost lost his
life, when a native attacked him with
knife. Friendly advances were fnai

sign language and tho assistance Of
native guides communication was held
The race was an aboriginal one
called A.ku.li.a.kat.tag.mi.ut. II had

COOPERATION is URGED
Member State Board of Public At
tars Alleges Farmers Lose Nil
lions on Potatoes Alone.

Madison.-''If the farmers of Wis
consin would cooperate and market
their own potatoes, figuring three
cents a bushel as a conservative saw
ing to them, they would save nearly
100000 year." is the statement
of a representative of the Wisconsin
state board Of public affairs.
ct is safe estimate he ex-
claimed, that five cents a bushel
represents the increased profit real
lied by the farmers selling to the
wholesalers and consumers in the
cities through their warehouse oper-
atiOns. One farmer has not enough
potatoes to make it worth while for
wholesaler to do business with him.
The individual farmer usually sells
his crop to the small local dealer
who in turn disposes of it to job
Der. And neither the producer nor
the consumer profits by such an ar
rangement, for the potatoes pass
through too many hands. How diff
ferent is the situation when farmers
combine their cooperation and put
up warehouses and deal directly with
the wholesaler, the retailer or con-
sumner"

Pe-ru-na is a better remedy for some
conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are
both intended as catarrh remedies
They have both done great work in
relieving catarrh, chronic and acute.
Many hundreds of cases OF chronic
catarrh have recovered while taking
Ka-tar-no and the same is true OF the
revised Pe-ru-na during the last six
years since it's revision.
There Is a difference, however, in
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In
deed, this Is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed, where the

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD SlLO
Size of Receptacle Should Be Adapted
to Number of Head of animals
to Avoid Spelling.

(By PROF. w. NJ. EATON, Connecticul
Experiment Station)
One of the greatest advantages OF
the silo is that it can be made TO tide
over the time when there is a serious
diminution Of green pasture feed dur
ing July and August. The question
Of the size of a silo becomes very i'm
portant. During the warmest part of
the year silage spoils very rapidly
where it comes in contact with air.
Spoiled silage is a dangerous sub
stance to feed. Besides tainting the
milk and upsetting the digestion of
To avoid this, it is necessary to feed
off each day from one and half to
two inches. If this is done the silage
does not have time to change or fer
ment much. A silo IS feet in diameter
will feed AZ animals; 16 feet in di-
ameter 33 animals, and II feet will
feed 20 animals. If the herd is large
enough, two silos of different di-
ameters are a great economic con-
venience. For the winter feed use the
large diameter, and for summer the
small one. Another advantage is in
filling. One will be settling while the
other is being filled and one-third
more silage can be put in both. The
tall, narrow silo is better than the
broad low one. The loss Is much less.
Taking all things into consideration,
it is evident that a round, wooden
stave silo is the best And wooden
silo, II taken care of as ii always
should be, can be made to last as long
as wooden building. Certain proc
esses can be applies to the wood. such
as soaking it in some wood preserva-
tive or applying asphaltum and creo-
sote substances to the bottom Of the
slaves for a few feet, keeping the
other outside areas we'll painted.
These are factors which would deter
mine the lasting qualities Of silo.
The size Of the silo should be
adapted to the size of the herd A
tall silo with rather narrow di-
ameter is preferable. Silage is pre-
served best with the least loss in a
