Anderson was president for some years,
bat being over 10 years Of age he
has turned over the management Of
his affairs to his son, Senator Auder-
son.
Last spring the senator installed an
electric lighting plant. The power is
also used through motors In running
the milk sepsrators and milking ma
chimes This was the most interest
ing sight on the farm, At present
they only have two machines. one ma
chine bet two cows. Each ma
chine consists of a pail about the size
OF a large creamery can, thu cover, the
pulsator and the rubber tubing con
meeting the pail with the scuum pipe
and with the teat cups. The electric
motor runs the air pump, which creates
a vacuum in the pipe running along
the stanchion above the ows. The
pulsator operates similar to an engine
cylinder. but by vacuum. not by pres
sure, and moves up and down. A
small plunger in the side Of the
c. cylinder releases and brings on the
suction, which causes the pulsstion
and draws the milk like a sucking
calf. Rubber tubes connect the teat
cup with each side Of the pail. which
Is placed between two cows, milking
both az the same time. The tubes are
about four feet long with IN opening
of about half an inch in diameter.
There are one set of four teat cups
for each side Of the pail. Each cup
is of rubber and fits snugly on the
cows teats, being wider at the top
than at the bottom. They are about
an inch and a half in diameter and
three and a ha If inches long. In the
cover is a glass bulb through which
the milk runs. When the milk stops
the cups are taken off the teats. The
cost of the two pals with the pulss'
tor, teat cups and rubber tubing Ii
about $500. The cost OF q vacuum

800. making the cost, without power
about $500. One man with such an
outfit can mix about twenty-five cow

LANES PLANS ARE
 BROADLY CONSTRUCTED
O-O-

A few years ago nearly every far mer was possessed of a passion for the acquisition of land The result was large farms and a minimum produc- ton per acre. A farmers total capac- ity was spread over too great an area for the best results.
 Today there is a tendency toward smaller farms and more intensive farming, and this tendency is most marked in Western communities, where specialization has been onspic- uously successful.
 The former method disgusted the ris- ing generation with life on the farm. The new way is fastening the members of the family to the soil.
 Secretary Lane, of the interior de partment, has seen this tendency of the West grow to the great benefit of the West, and has formulated a plan to further and aid it, which is to se- cure a large government appropriation for the development of small farms in the irrigation regions to be worked in tensively by small holders.
 His plan has aroused opposition, but the opposition so far is voiced on sec tional grounds. New England wants the plan applied there: the South asks to have it applied there. Both allege that Mir. Lane is for the West because he is of the West, which is not a fair statement.
 Secretary Lane would apply the small farm, intensive, specialized crop plan under government aid to the West because the West has shown its capacity for that particular problem. Even Alaska has gone in for the spe- cial crop, and Alaska vegetables are found on Seattle markets, where they are commanding superior prices.
 His plan was not proposed as a plan to do something to popularize the ad- ministration in the West, but to do something constructive, which could be done better in the West than else where.-Se Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Thinks U. S. Favors Carranza.

Thinks U. S. FaVors Carranza.
 MEXICO CITY, Nov. 4-Official Mexico believes that the government at Washington favors the rebel cause in Mexico and it is convinced that this means that President Woodrow Will son and Secretary of State William J. Bryan have made up their minds to assist Gen. Carranza to win the con- test in that country.
 Gen. Huerta last night summoned all the members of the diplomatic corps that are at the capital to the National palace, but no purpose of he meeting has been divulged. It is thought, however, that Huerta's con- fiction that the United States is about to recognize Gen. Carranza's govern ment to the extent at least of extend ing the rights of beligerents to it was the cause of the conference.
 The ministers of Germany, Russia and Norway were not present at the conference as they were at Vera Cruz conferring with Special Envoy John Lind.

BIG VALDEZ DYKE
 NEARLY FINISHED
O-O-

-O-O-
 The great dyke undertaken by the general government for the purpose of protecting the town of Valdez from the rayages of cratic and destructive glacial streams is now practically com pleted. What remains to be done will be finished within ten days or two weeks early next spring. The general government made a special approprla- tion of S55.OOO for this work, based on the estimates made by the engineering department of the Alaska Road Con- mission. While the improvement has nothing to do with the road systems or the Territory nevertheless the work of constructing the protecting barrier has ben done under the supervision Of the Alaska Road Commission and the engineering department of the Com mission has been in full charge since the inception of the work.
 R. $. Giddings, one of the engineers of the Alaska Road Commission is now in Juneau and describes the dyke as being an earthen embankment averag- ing six feet in height, eight feet wide at the top and 32 feet wide at the bot tom.
 IL is 7,400 feet long with two straight sides, forming an irregular arc back of the town. The embankment con tains 32,O0O cubic yards of earth that was excavated and placed in position by drag scrapers.
 This embankment is covered by a protecting mattress made of willow brush fascine, bundles of small brush twelve feet long and eight inches in diameter bound together by oduble wiring every two feet using No. F an healed wire. These bundles or fas- cines are woven into a mattress just like cloth is woven, lying longitudinal with the earthwork using wire for the warp also spaced two feet apart. The mattress thus formed extended F feet up the slope of the embankment and with a IA foot apron beyond the base of the dyke forming a protecting cushion 26 feet wide the full length of the dyke.
 This mattress in turn is covered with a small pole cribbing with the timbers placed vertically four feet a part and also spaced horizontally four feet apart forming bins four feet square. These poles were securely wired to the mattress with No. g an healed wire. These bins were next filled with rock using approximately 15OO to 2OOO pounds of rock to each lineal foot of the dyke and approxi mately 1000 tons of rock all told
 There were 50 miles of brush fas cines. and 250 miles of wire used in constructing the great protecting mat tress. The whole work on the dyke in it's present state was accomplished within four months. Part of the vii low brush used in the fascines will undoubtedly take root and become a permanent protection. It is estimated that the brush mattress and the crib ping will withstand the action of the elements 15 to 20 years.
