SOME BEE WISDOM.

Less has been done toward the i'm.
provement of bees than has been done
with any other kind of stock, largely
because the male is beyond control.
Though increase may be made in
bees more rapidly and easily than in
other kinds Of stock, no other kind of
stock is so difficult to keep pure.
There is no question that in this
country an Italian colony will store
more honey than a colony of blacks.
The best way to get a start in bees
is to buy as many stands Of good.
healthy bees Of pure breeding as you
can well handle and carefully increase
your colonies each year from the
swarms which these will give off.
Queens sometimes die during the
winter and early spring, and since
there is no brood from which the bees
can replace them the queenless colo
nies are "hopelessly queenless." Bee
keepers in the north can frequently
buy queens fFcm southern breeders
early in the spring. and naturally this
is better than leaving the colony with
out a queen until the bees can rear
Dne. as it is important that there be
no stoppage at this season.
All hives should be carefully exam
ned early in the spring: all dead col
mics should have their hives put out

MoLDY sILAeE DANGEROUS

Avoid feeding decayed or
moldy silage to live stock, is the
; advice given by the Wisconsin
experiment station.
In some instances the feeding
of such silage has caused the
death of horses and severe cases
of securing in cattle.
In most cases the method of
filling the silo has had much to
do with the spelling of the silage;
hence little can now be done to
prevent the damage to the feed.
Experienced feeders of silage
are urging their neighbors to
avoid feeding moldy or decayed
silage TO any class of live stock.
Where without the presence of
mold the silage is in an abnor-
mally heated condition the add
ing Of water may help to check
decomposition.

commercial peach growing because
the markets within its logical radius
Tor distribution are already abundant
ly supplied with peaches from dis
rr1cts which in some important re-
spects are more advantageously placed.
II is the current opinion that the
peach should be planted on sandy or
some of the lighter types of soil
While it is true that excellent results |
may follow the planting of orchards |
ON such soils. it is equally true that |
peaches do well on a wide range of
soil types, including even some of the
moderately heavy clay loans and clays.
But, whatever the type, a soil must be
thoroughly well drained to be suitable
for peaches. They will not succeed on
poorly drained soils. 1t follows that
the heavy clay types which are so
hard and impervious that water does
not percOlate through them readily are
to be avoided as a rule. Moreover, a
soil should be moderately fertile One
very rich in nitrogen is not to be de-
sired as general rule since it is likely
10 induce an excessive growth Of foli-
age. On the other hand, the impress
sion which is somewhat common that
a poor. unfertile soil is good enough
for peaches is erroneous.
In districts in which alkali soils oc-
cur sites should be selected with a
view to avoiding them. While the
peach tree can be grown where there {
Is limited amount of the alkali salts, s
they cause disaster if present in large G
quantities. 1t is safer. therefore, to
avoid them as far as possible.
As a general proposition site that
is elevated considerably above the sur
rounding areas is to be preferred for :
an apple orchard. Relative elevation is
generally of greater Importance than j,
actual elevation above sea level. =
1t is a well recognized fact. though :,
one too often overlooked in selecting -
sites for orchards, that cold air settles
to the lower levels. For this reason U
1t Is often colder at the lower eleva- VI
tons than it is at higher points in the 81
same locality. This is what is meant
by atmospheric drainage The occur &C
renee of frost in low places when there m
IS none in elevated areas is thus ex-
planned. For the same reason peach Is
buds are often winter killed or the he
blossoms are injured by frost in the ca
pring in low places when nearby or 20
'hards on higher elevations are injured sv
much less or even escape entirely.
Where an orchard occupies site that wi
$ adjacent to a large body of water tn,
he importance of relatively high cal
levatiOn largely. perhaps entirely dis ME
ppears. To be a factor in the matter. Ike,
owever a body OF water must be of bu

HEARD IMPORTANT
 CASE IN JUNEAU
During Visit To Juneau Judge Brown Rendered Ruling In Golden
 Belt Case.

While in Juneau recently Judge Fred M. Brown, at the request of Judge Jennings, presided at the trial of one of the most important cases which have come before the courts in Alaska. The case involved title to land which forms a portion of the townsite of Juneau.
 The case was that of the United States vs. the owners of the Golden Belt addition, in which the govern ment attempted to cancel patent to ground which had been included in the Fraction lode claim and upon which many of the palatial residences of Juneau have been built since the addition to the Juneau townsite was put on the market two o>years ago.
 Judge Brown held that the district attorney had failed to show that there had been any fraud on the part of the owners in securing patent to the ground and he sustained the ac- tion of the local land office which had permitted the land to go to pat ent.
 About $32,000 is said to have been spent on improvements on the tract during the past two years. John H. Cobb, the Juneau attorney who de- tended the owners of the tract through the courts, secured one. fifth interest in the ground as his fee. One residence. the Erickson home, located in the addition, cost $9,00O.

kOPPUS SUFFERS
 A BROKEN ANKLE
Popular Mining Man Victim of Pecu. liar Accident While Return
 ing From Trip.

Chas. Koppus, the well-known min ing man, is in the Red Cross hospital suffering from broken leg sustained in peculiar manner while return ing from a trip to Wortman's road house yesterday afternoon.
 While coming through the canyon MT. Koppus was running ahead of the teams when he happened to get out on a piece of smooth ice. He at- tempted to get off the ice, fearing a fall. He was travelling at good pace when his foot caught on sharp piece of rock which potruded through the ice, bringing him to a sharp stop but not throwing him down. When he attempted to use the limb he found that it refused to sustain his weight and examination showed that the large bone had been broken near the ankle and that the ankle had been torn from it's socket. He was brought to the hospital where he i'm mediately received treatment MT Koppus has the sympathy of the com munity in his misfortune.
 The accident marred the remem- brances of one of the jolliest parties which has taken place during the present winter. A large party of ladies and gentlemen had gone to Wortman's Saturday afternoon. The male members were equipped with snowshoes and guns and spent the afternoon hunting. The evening was spent dancing.
 The members of the party were: Councilman Harry E. F. King and wife, Ray Larson and wife, B. Brick son and wife, T. Wendler and wife, Robert Mcintosh and wife, Miss Lampkin, Billy Date, Chas. Koppus. Henry Suessdorf and Chas. Day.

CROWD LISTENS
 ID BISHOP ROWE
Congregations of All Valdez Church. es Attend Meeting and Meet
 Eminent Worker.

Eagle hall was filled last night and heard Bishop Rowe, head of the Episcopal church in Alaska, deliver one of the best sermons which this eminent divine has ever preached in Alaska. Evening services in the Con. gregational church had been cancel led in order that Rev. Charles S.. Price might assist Rev. Molony in the services. and that the members of the Congregational church might have an opportunity of hearing and again meeting Bishop Rowe.
 Bishop Rowe is now making his reg. ular trip through Alaska and will visit all the missions in his charge. Owing to the death of Mrs. Rowe, after a protracted illness, Bishop Rowe failed to visit interior Alaska last year for the first time in many years.
 Bishop Rowe left on the Alameda this morning accompanied by Rev. Molony, for Cordova. From Cordova they will go to Chitina, where dog teams will be secured to make the trip to the Indian mission at Tanana Crossing. Bishop Rowe expects to visit Fairbanks and continue on down the Tanana and Yukon rivers to a lower river mission, where he will await the opening of navigation on the Yukon. The movements of Rev. Molony were not decided upon when he left on the Alameda in company with Bishop Rowe this morning. The former has proved himself a splendid musher and it is possible that he may accompany the bishop to the interior from Chitina.
 While Bishop Rowe was in Juneau he received a cablegram from Seat tie stating that one of his sons had been injured by the explosion of a lamp which he was carrying. Later messages assured him that the young man had sustained no serious injur- ies and that he would fully recover.
