The passage in the upper house
Saturday of Senator Chamberlain's
bill for the construction
The Alaska of an Alaska railroad is
Railroad. of decided importance to
the northwest and there
has been sound reason for the re-
joicing that greeted the vote upon the
bill
From a northwest standpoint the
opening of Alaska is something sec
ond in Importance only to the Panama
canal itself. The Chamberlain bill is
the key that will open the door to the
northern storehouse. The bill ap-
propriates s40,000,0o0 for the con-
struction or purchase of 1000 miles of
railroad. and gives the president al
most a free hand in carrying on the
work The bill has yet to pass the
house but the heavy majority the
measure received in the senate indi-
Gates the popularity of the bill is such
there can be no doubt of its success.
In the senate the measure had tn :
support of all save few who oppose
anything whatever in the way of gov
ernment ownership of transportation
lines.
Like the Panama canal the possi-
bilities from the Alaskan railroad are
SO vast people in general have no ade-
quate conception Of them. Alaska is
a tremendous country and it has re-
sources that are wholly unrealized
even by people living here in the
northwest The opening to the coun-
try of the Alaska coal fields is suffi-
cient excuse in itself for the railroad
Aside from this there are wonderful
power possibilities up there and they
will in time be used. There are agrl-
cultural resources capable of sup
porting a farming population greater
in size than the present farming popu-
lation of the New England states.
AS time goes on Alaska is going to
loom larger and larger in the affairs
of the west. There will be a perma-
nent population there and in time the
territory will become state, the
largest in era of all the union.
The opening of Alaska is one of the
big things in the administration con-
structiye program and it is one of the
things about which Franklin K. Lane
was most enthused while on his west.

feel proud of the fact that through
Senator Chamberlain they have takeI

velopment.

PROPER FEED FOR TURKEYS
When the Hen Begins to Set She
Should Be Provided With Corn and
and Wheat and Fresh. Water.
nv M sHI1I.TZN

By c. NJ. SHULTZ.)
When the turkey hen begins to sit,
she. should be provided with dish
OF whole corn and wheat, given access
to fresh water twice a day, and then
must be left absolutely undisturbed.
In order to get the best results. each
turkey hen should have an individual
pen where she can sit and eat and
drink without being compelled to go
out into the yard with the other birds,
or be disturbed In any way. Ley E1&
Is she is to be disturbed at all, 1t
Is only to give her a thorough busting
with insect powder two or three times
during the sitting period, which COW
ers from Il to 80 days. During this
time the turkey hen sits very quietly,
sometimes refusing to leave the nest
for 36 hours at q time to get food or
water. She should never be urged to
leave the, nest for this purpose or any
other, but food and water should al
ways be within her reach at all times.
She knows best what shei wants, and
when she wants 1t.

SOME TIMELY GARDEN NOTES
Hotbeds Should Be Watched Closely
and Manure Carefully Prepared
inspect Ait implements.

(By LIE ROY CADY. Assistant Horticul-
turist, University Farm. ST Paul, Minn.)
Watch the hotbeds closely.
Ventilate hotbeds on the side away
from the wind If possible.
Manure may be spread on the gar.
den and plowed in this spring.
Be sure the manure is heating even
~ before it is put in the frame.
If hotbed manure does not heat
readily put on a few buckets of hot
water. @s a
Bank hotbeds with manure that is
not heating. Dry manure will not be
so likely to freeze and take heat from
the frame. 1880 seaf7sA 1
When pruning, have reason for
every cut made and close to the limb
or trunk Leave no stubs.
Pruning may be done late in March.
Cover all wounds over one-half inch In
diameter with white lead or grating
wax.
Seed for most early plants may be
sown at this time. Transplant when
large enough and keep growing nicely
till they are ready to set in the field.
Inspect all garden tools. sharpen and
put them into the best condition. Per
haps there are some new ones that
should be purchased. Now is good
time. Look them up. z., 3 vea qgq'
Grating wax is made by melting to
gether four pounds Of resin, two
pounds of beeswax and one pound Of
unsalted tallow. Heat this about fif
teen or twenty minutes, then throw
into cold water and pull in the same
manner as molasses candy.
