THE ELECTION

Unofficial adyices received by the Daily Alaskan from the four cleo toral divisions cf Alaska give Wick ersham, candidate for delegate to congress on the independent ticket a big majority in all the voting pre- cincts in the First, Third ana Fourth diyisious, except those Of Juneau, and Bunnell a small majority in the Second. The non partisan legislative candidates in the First division appear to have made a clean sweep with the pos sible exception of the senate, which Is yet in doubt, with the odds in favor of Sulzer.
 The election has fully demonstrat- ed that large majority of the peo- pie Of Alaska are still loyal to the friend who stood by them through thick and thin, not only while in Washington as their representative from this territory, but previous to that when he was acting in a judicial capacity.
 And now that the political atmos- phere Of Alaska has been cleared for the next two years at least let us forget our differences in a settled determination to do all in our power for the advancement of the territory as a whole and Of Skagway and the adjacent coun- try, Canadian as well as American in particular.
 There is an empire in the making immediately to our north that is only awaiting development to be- come one of the greatest wealth producers in the world and In lend ing what aid we can to the people who are living therein and at pres ent struggling against extremely ad- verse conditions, we shall be hslp- ing ourselves in the same ratio that We do them.

VALUE OF ALFALFA
AS HORSE FEED
Considerable Experiment Work
Done by Utah and Illinois
Stations With Crop.

The Utah experiment station has
been doing considerable work to prove
the value of alfalfa as feed for horses
and makes the following statement re-
garding it,:
I'm comparing alfalfa and timothy as
roughages for horses, the result of six
tests under varying conditions of work
show that it is not as difficult to main
tain weights of horses when fed alfalfa
as when fed timothy. The cost of
maintenance was greater in every
case, except one, On timothy than on
alfalfa. The appearance OF the horses
in every comparison of alfalfa and
timothy was in favor of the alfalfa fed
horses"
The Illinois experiment station has
made this statement in reference to
alfalfa:
When alfalfa hay is fed as the
roughage part of a r. ion for farm
horses at hard work, less grain is nee
essary to prevent them from losing
weight than when timothy hay is fed
In this test there WIS a saving of
about twenty-five per cent. of grain"
We may add that in most instances
where men have failed to get the de-
sired results in the feeding of alfalfa
hay to horses or mules. that too much
has been given them, says Hoard's
Dairyman. The government has con-
Quoted quite a number of tests with
alfalfa, but they could not get some of
the men to follow Instructions as to
the proper amount Of alfalfa to feed
and had to put them in the guard
house. 1t is reported they fed a
weeks supply Of alfalfa in three DAYS.
We do not know that it is necessary to
infer that guard touses should be es.
tablished in the l-autry in order to get
farmers to see Tie importance of not
feeding too much alfalfa hay to horses
or mules.

NO other stock require more care in
winter than in-lamb ewes. Too many
roots, frosty grass, hustled about by
dogs through muddy gateways, ETC.,
are all apt to bring disaster when
Landing time comes.
A lew roots, a good run on dry pas
ture or down, and plenty of good sound
hay in racks nights and morning, are
what is required for breeding ewes.
Too many roots are certain to bring
many dead lambs into the lambing
yards. Very serious losses have been
traced to this cause, but a few roots
given with discretion every day will
greatly benefit the ewes
The ewes should be kept in a regular
steady thriving state; on no account
keep ewes short one day and stuff the
next. They must not be turned out on
a frosty morning until they have had
little hay in racks.
Rock salt should always be kept
handy, being one of the chief items
of ewes diet. Bad management with
in-l lamb ewes is the root of most of the
trouble and losses at lambing time.
The Landing yards should be made
on level piece of old ley, if possible,
and sheltered from north or northeast,
and in an open dry position near hay
and straw ricks. Two square yards
should be made with hurdles adjoining
each other, with each pen made of
four hurdles matched at top The
number of pens and size of the yards
must be according to number of ewes
to lamb. To use the same yard year
by year is the way to cause disaster.
When the ewes begin to drop their
lambs, the shepherd must be constant
ly with them, keeping an eye on any
eve likely to lamb, and not losing
sight of her until she is over her trou-
Bile, and lamb and mother seen safely
into pen. If neglected one of twins
very often stray off and be found dead
amongst the other ewes.
1t is much safer to let ewes lamb
when fine) out in the open by day,
where she has made up her mind to
lamb, then drive her back to Landing
yards. After all is we'll the lamb
should be carried back to Landing pens,
when the mother will follow quite con-
tentedly.
On no account should a eve be in |
terfered with if it is possible for her

Overdid Her Task-The We'd
ding Is Delayed
Girl Stalched Fiance's Shirt Soft Took Hide
Off Of Him


AS result of what might be called an
accident, or bad judgment, which oc-
Cured in Wesson, Miss, recently, there
are two very sad hearts today, a wedding
knocked out or put off indefinitely and a
young man by the name of John O'Ferell
has been conveyed to hospital for re-
pairs, and from all appearance he will
have to be made over almost entirely. as
in his present fix he is most pitiful OBJ
jet. The misfortune came about, it is
said, in this way: John had been court
ing what he termed the sweetest and
most industrious young lady in the COM
munity where he lived, some ten miles
out in the country from Wesson. They
had contracted to get married.
A few days ago, it is said.-the girl
told John she wanted an opportunity to
prove to him before they married that
she could launder his shirts just as good
as she had been telling him she could,
and he complied with her request to
bring her his best Sunday shirt for her
to fix up.
She proceeded to launder it and in do
ing SO put five pounds of starch In the one
shirt, and when he came to the appointed
time for it she had the garment Numbered
so stiff that it would stand up alone.
He told her he was delighted and was
sure she was the finest girl in all the
world, and he carried the shirt home,
put it on and wore it to town and got
soaking wet in a rain. He went into a
store to warm and dry out. When he
got home that night, as he did not have
on any under-shirt, he did not take the
shirt his girl had laundered. off, but
crawled into the bed and slept in it.
The next morning he decided to pull
the shirt off and let his intended wife try
her hand on it again, but when he pro-
ceeded to take the garment off his body
he was Mortified to find it was sticking
SO tightly to his hide that he could no
pull it off at all. He was at a loss to
know what to do, but would not say
word to his parents.
Finally he went out to the barn, crawled
up in the loft, removed several planks,
fastened the bottom end of the shirt to
the joists and jumped out like a spring
frog jumping into a creek. The shirt |
came off all right but brought with 1t
Johns almost entire hide, with large !
pieces of flesh hanging to it. He tainted |
when he hit the floor below, and was
foundl unconscious by some workmen a
little while afterward.
IL was some minutes before the work. |
men could get themselves together to
the situation, but when one |
looked up and saw the shirt hanging to
the joists an investigation followed and
the secret was at once solved. The
local doctor was called at once, and he
said upon arrival that the case was be.
yond his knowledge, and the young man
woulds have to be hurried to hospital,
where they were prepared to remake
fellow as badly disfigured as John was.
It is said that when the girl in the case
learned what had happened she tainted
and is reported to be in a dangerous con-

GENERAL CAMPAIGN
ON HOG CHOLERA
State and Federal Governments
Must Have Hearty Co-0pera-
ton of All Farmers.

Hog cholera has existed in the Unit
ed States for rs years, and it is safe
to say that in each of the last 25 years
the farmers of this country have lost
millions of hogs from this disease
The United States department of
agriculture believes that success in.
any attempt to eradicate hog cholera
will depend upon the establishment of
efficient organizations by, the state
and federal governments which will.
work together. They must, however,
have the full cooperation and support
of the farmers. With the organiza-
tions perfected the idea is that when
hog cholera breaks out on the farm
it will be the duty of those organiza-
tons then and there to restrict the
disease to the one farm where it al
ready exists by instituting suitable
measures of quarantine and also by
the administration of the protective
serum to the droves on adjoining
farms. AS is already known. the de-
partment is now testing out in few
sections this method of combating hog
cholera. In the meantime, while the
necessary information preliminary to
a general campaign against hog chol-
era is being secured, farmers may do
much to protect themselves and help
to restrict the disease by careful OBJ
servance of few simple rules, such
as the following:
% Do not locate hog lots near a
public highway, railroad or a
stream. The germ of hog cholera may
be carried along any one of these
avenues.
(2) Do not allow strangers or neigh
bors to enter your hog lots and do
not go into your neighbors' lots. The
germ of hog cholera may be readily
carried in a small amount of dirt on
your shoes.
(3) Do not put new stock, either
hogs or cattle, in lots with the herd
already on the farm. Newly pur-
chased hogs should be put in separate
Enclosures well separated from the
herd on the farm, and kept under OBJ
servation for three weeks, because
all stock cars, unloading
chutes and pens are infected with hog
cholera and hogs shipped by rail are
therefore apt to contract hog cholera.
(D Hogs sent to fairs should be
for at least three weeks
after they return to the. farm.

| to lamb by herself. While she can get
up and down do not help her in any
way; directly she has done trying, and
cannot get up, then help her over her
trouble by getting the lamb away
gently.
Sometimes the lamb comes the
wrong way, others with leg back
and in a case of this kind it is some
times impossible for the mother to
lamb without help.
The trouble of heaving is often
brought about through the shepherd
being in too much of hurry. Directly
all is over get the mother on her legs,
and put the lamb up to her to clean.
The mother being all right and the
lamb trying to suck, the next thing to
do is to examine her udder and see
that both nipples are free from any OBJ
struction.
Sometimes a eve is found to have a
chill in the udder, which must be well
rubbed with a good udder mixture of
camphorated oil, and if well attended
to, she will soon get all right. Many a

Any loose wool around the udder
should be gently pulled off, as there is
danger of lambs getting some in their
stomachs, which would perhaps end in
stoppage. A very good plan while the
eve is in the pen with her lamb is to
examine her feet, and in the case of a
lamb eve, the hoof to be pared back
and dressing applied if necessary.
The eve and lamb cannot be kept
too dry while in the pen. See that
they get good dry bed, and that the
eve is supplied with water and good
sweet hay, with a dish of oats.
Bran and sprinkling of cotton and
linseed cake twice day, with a few
