Hoooino OF Corn.

There Is no better way to fatten
hogs with profit to the owner than to
turn them loose in the cornf1eld and
let them pick the corn themselves.
Experimentation has proved and the
experience Of practical farmers in all
parts of the state is that this method
is a profitable one. Every one who
has tried 1t agrees that 1t is an eco
nomical method Of fattening pork
The time required to husk and crib
the corn is saved Not only that, but
the hogs get the corn when it is fresh
and more relished. More pounds of
pork can be made from bushel of
corn by "hogging of" than by eating
husked corn. Orange Judd Farmer.
The Horse That frets.
Some colts require n lot more train
ing than others before they will work
steadily A horse that worries and
frets wears himself all out and needs
more feed and rest than horse of
phlegmatic temperament doing the
same work. Attempting to work the
nerves ont OF horse generally wears
the driver ont first Careful training
Is the only way. :

All too many men who are well fixed
financially allow themselves to become
little short of abject slaves to their
work. This is partly due to habit.
formed at time in their lives when
there may have been need for rigid
economy and partly to stinginess
and closeness into which such economy
deteriorated. Rich folks and poor folks
are in the nature of things going to be
long time dead. 1t follows from this
that it is not sensible for one to scrimp
and hoard when It is not necessary
and when at best the property one &C.
cumulates is likely to be spent with
lavish hand or even squandered by
ones heirs-at-law. One who Is In
position to do so should take day on
half dozen of them II the occasion
offers-for the purpose Of getting and
keeping out Of detestable rut that
warps and weazens the best in human
life. Along with this. good sense
would seem to suggest the expenditure
Of the money necessary to provide the
comforts and privileges for oneself and
family that go SO far toward making
life worth living.

How TO Admit Qreaa Shields.

Instead Of sewing or pinning shields
In waist sew narrow piece Of tape
or baby ribbon at each end OF the
shield and sew similar pieces at the
proper distance apart in the armholes
of all your waists. The shields are
quickly tied in place. they are easily
changed in wash waists, and there are
no pins to rust or prick.

MANY WOULD HOLD TERRITORIAL WAD
eehrends, the Juneau Banker, Mayor Bishop and Charles
 Garfield Are After Job.

The Juneau Dispatch prints the following regarding the ap- plications for territorial treasur- CT:
 The appointment of territorial treasurer, created by an act of the first Alaska legislature and one of the appointments to be made by Governor Strong, is wor- rying the politicians and there appears to be a great deal of spec ulation regarding the distribution of this plum. B. M. Behrends, the pioneer banker of the terri tory, is the logical selection, not because Mr. Behrends is a life long Democrat, although he has never been a candidate for office on party lines, but owing to his long residence in the territory and we'll known progressiveness. However, it is known that MT. :Behrends will not personally press his claim for the appoint ment.
 Among the politicians rumor has it that Harry Bishop has abandoned his aspirations for the U. $. marshalship of this di- vision and would not be averse to receiving his reward political ly by the appointment as treas urer.
 Chas. b. Garfield, of the GUS toms servlce, is said to have shied his hat into the ring, and to have a lightning rod up for the ap- pointment.
 Several members of the recent legislature are said to be willing to resign if the appointment came their way.
 The declaration of Governor Strong that politics would not be considered in the matter of se- lection of officials for territorial offices made yesterday indicates the governor is now considering appointments.

COLLEGE SPIRIT.
(By George Fitch. ]

College spirit is a harmless
 form of temporary insanity which
 is found on the leading campuses of our country. It cannot be
 bought in bottles like other well
 known spirits, but it's effects are about the same.
 College spirit is composed of enthusiasm, uncOnventiOnalism
 and lungs in equal parts with a pinch of brains for seasoning. 1t is not used much in the class rooms but is a grand thing for the campus. A campus hy itself
 is about as exciting as any other
 i0-acre field. But after camp
 us has been soaked in college spi. it for a century or two, it be- comes so exciting that a young
 man can hardly walk across it without taking large bite out of his hat and giving 99 Rahs for the school.
 Without college spirit a stu dent would study all night lor
 four wears and graduate at the
 head of his class with a caved- in chest and nervous insurrertiOn of the stomach. But with a few doses of this celebrated elixir of life and thoroughly guaranteed !mOnotony cure, the same student will hang purple hat on his left ed by a cubist and sing with his friends in the street cars until the police gather him up for safe keeping; he will put on padded pants and jersey, grab foot ball and attempt to bore his way through man four sizes larger than he is, getting a broken leg with great thankfulncss. He will insert himself into revolving mass of maddened sophomores and go home in a barrel carrying one ear proudly in his hand. He will work all night in the snow, contracting pneumonia and sprained back while coaxing a re- luctant COW who has no college spirit to crawl through a small window into the office of the col lege president.
 Because of all these things some people laugh at college spirit and think that it's posses sors should be treated by our leading alienists. But boys who have college spirit seldom get ov- CT it, and when they tackle life later on, they tackle it low and hard and only grin when trouble kicks them in the slats.
