Talk of Poultry Raising.
Professor d. o. Barto of the state
spoke during the afternoon
on poultry raising. and he gave some
alluring figures showing the profit
there is in chickens either for eggs or
he market.
As to varieties of chickens he had
10 preference, except that he advised
n a general way against the Asiatic
'owls for egg purposes. Amongst the
others he advised his hearers to take
heir choice, selecting whichever they
liked from the standpoint ofsappear-

when properly fed. from 81 to s1.25 for
cost of food. The labor was not taken
into consideration. II raised by a
farmer who produces his own grain
and other foods the maintenance of
the hen should be considerably .ess,
while the bird. if given a chance, will
eat many insects which are injurious
TO growing crops.
In producing chickens for the table
the speaker said it is possible to grow
four-pound bird for q or % cents.
Pekin ducks raised for the table are
an even better proposition, for a duck
at 10 weeks should bring 81 in the mar
ket, while its cost should not be over
40 cents.
The best laying hens usually are
those which are somewhat undsr the
average size common to their breed.
Like cows which produce a high pro-
portion of butter fat the small hen
turns a greater part of her food into
a marketable product where the larger
animals and birds alike make it into
flesh.
Must Have Proper Food.
Mr.. Barto gave considerable atten-
ton TO feeding. He said more often
lack of proper food stopped the laying
of hens than low temperature. A hen
also does better in bright, cheerful sur
roundings. If the hen has not the pro-
per constituents in her food to make
eggs she cannot lay them. Otherwise
nature takes it's course. Wheat, corn
and oats were declared the best grains
for the main articles of food. varying
the proportions with the weather.
There should also be a dry mash of
ground oats and shorts and meat scrap.
This should have salt and charcoal in
it. Some succulent food. as sproOted
oats, is essential in the winter. 1t is !
also necessary TO feed lime In some
shape, oyster shell being the best
form. Alfalfa or clover hay, soaked
over night. makes a good substitute for
sprouted oats. Water should be con- /
venient at all times.

HOT SPRINGS MAN
 INCREASING FOX FARM

FAIRBANKS, Aug. 24.-In prepar- ation for the time when he will need more room for the breeding of foxes of all varieties in which business he is engaged along with his mercantile establishment, George Morrison of Hot Springs is now building an extensive ranch which when completed will pro bably be the largest of its kind in Alaska.
 MT. Morrison has been engaged in fox farming for about three years. He started by buying a few pairs of fox es and breeding them, and, although he has raised large number, he buys any and all of the silver grey, blacks or cross varieties that he can obtain. He does not care to buy the red foxes as he is attempting to breed cross fox es up to the silver grey variety. The only red foxes he has are several fe. males for experimental purposes Fairbanks Citizen.

q0LSTOY'S PROPHECY
 OF A BETTER DAY

The press has been giving wide circulation to a prophecy of Toistoy in which he foretold the war that IS TOW engaging the resources of Europe and the attention of the world, and in which he said that a man of letters will come out of the North and be- come the leader of men, directing their attention to other things.
 Another prophecy of better day coming was made by the same great Russian writer. and 1t, too, is now going the round of the press.
 Tolstoy said:
 "A day will come when the only battlefield will be the market open to commerce. and the mind opening to uew ideas. A day will come when bullets and bombshells will be re- placed by votes, by the universal sui frage of nations, by the venerable arbitration of great Sovereign Sen ate which will be to Europe what the Parliament is to England, what the Diet is to Germany, what the Legis- latiye Assembly is to France, A day will come when canonn will be ex- hibited in public museums, just as an instrument of torture Is now, and peo- pie will be astonished how such Q thing could have been. A day will come when these two immense groups, the United States of America and the United States of Europe, shall be seen placed in presence of each other, extending the hand of fellowship across the ocean"

 @There Is no use talking. The Ath, letics look unbeatable. If we score two runs they score three. When we get three runs. they will come back and score four.
 'They haven't single weakness Some good teams are strong at bat but weak in defense or pitcher. but in the Athletics case one can't point to single department which isn't as strong as adamant.
 Their pepper Is wonderful. They act as if they have been in last place most of the year and by a wonderful spurt have a good chance for the pen nant. In one of the games they tied the score by getting two runs. Why the players threw bats and caps in the air and they acted like they had wor the game that gave them a pennant.'

the Manchester, EGG. factory and service
stations at Hamburg, Germany, and
Paris, France.
The whole purpose of this gigantic
system of branch plants is to facilitate
manufacturing ana shipuiLg and to assure
Ford owners in every part of the world
the highest type of service after they
have purchased their car.
But not only do these branch factories,
each one of them great institution in
itself, perform this function, but they are
backed up by the selling and dis -ributing
organization of the company, which in.
cludes individual agents in every com-
munity, from the cities down TO the ham
let.
Every cog in this wheel of industry
works to perfect this service. Every
Ford agent, no matter how few cars he
handles, is required by his contract to
carry a supply of Ford parts so lat Ford
owners never have their cars out of com
mission except for few days, or gener-
ally only hours, unless the car has met
with serious accident.
If it were not for the branch assembling
plants the Ford company could not mar
ket its enormous output because railroad
facilities could not be provided for ship

as many motor cars as could be carried
