ALADDIN IN ALASKA.

The mineral resources of Alaska are
not the only thing that has been ex-
plotted to the public injury, according
to the annual report of Gov. Strong.
The waters of the territory also re-
quire protection from exploiters, he
says, the system of rebating taxes for
the release of salmon fry by the can
ming companies 'having always beer
more or less solemn farce. None
has benefited except the corporations,
and the Government has been deprived
of substantial amount in taxes. The
fisheries, he holds, should be held ir
trust for the people and not reserved
for wholesale exploitation.
The great wealth of the country
the settler is set forth anew by the
Governor. The mineral output for the
year was valued at 500, 020, 600 and the
fisheries output at SIG, 900, 600. Alas
ka's exports last year amounted t.
SCI, 900, 900 and the territory bought
from the United States $22, 1000, 00t
worth of products The population is
about 1000. The need is coal sup
ply made possible by the passage Of
the coal-leasing law and of coke t
operate smelters and boom the copper
industry.
But aside from the mineral and fish
cry resources the Governor says there
are so, 100000 acres of good agricul
tural land and millions more suitable
for cattle raising and dairying await
ing the homeseeker, who will come
with the construction of the Govern
ment railroad and the opening of new
roads and trails to now practically mac
cessble regions. The health of tn,
white settlers is excellent, but the ma
tives, owing to lack of sanitation anC
hygienic knowledge, are a prey t.
tuberculosis. Gov. Strong urges tn,
erection of hospitals to instruct the ma
tives. who must otherwise disappear
before the diseases of civilization. H,
repeats the demand so often made b,
Alaskans for full territorial form o.
government, saying it would cost M
more and be vastly more Efficient

FRIDAY, JANUARY IS, 1857
A MILE UNDERGROUND.

In reference to the deep mine shafts at
Calumet some experiments conducted by
members of the faculty of the Michigan
College of Mines are interesting. 1t had
been noticed that in the vertical shafts
at the Tamarack mine, if some ore or
rock were spilled near the surface, men
working at the bottom of the shaft
mile below were not much bothered and
sometimes only observed "a little dust. "
1t is stated that car of broken rock
could be dumped into the shaft without
injury to a man standing directly under
meath mile down.
The reason is that the rock would
never reach the bottom, but would lodge
in the sides of the shaft on the timbers
that protrude few inches at intervals
that is, the rock would not fall
straight, since these shafts are exactly
vertical.
In the experiments conducted, two
round metal balls were dropped into the
center of shaft by burning threads by
which they were suspended, so as to
give them no lateral motion. 1t was
tried to catch the balls in box of clay
in the bottom of the shaft; none of
them was caught One ball was never
found afterwards; the other was found
in the east wall of the shaft only few
hundred feet below the surface.
The explanation is that the earth is
revolving from west to east, which gave
the ball an eastward component in its
fall because particle on the surface OF
the earth is travelling at a higher rate
of speed than one nearer the center
although at the same angular velocity
Thus a ball or rock dropped in the shaft
will strike the east wall few hundred
feet from the surface, possibly then re-
bouding several times in its drop unit
it lodges on timber or on a level -

TRAINING DRAFT COLTS.
Youngsters Should Be Broken Early to
Use of Halter

There is pretty we'll rooted idea
among those who raise colts that some
advantage lies in allowing colts to run
without handling until time to put
them to regular work, such ii system
inSuring more perfectly broken
work horse, saving time and generally
being more satisfactory No doubt
familiarity breeds contempt in the
horse as well as in the man. and the
horse that is made pet surely often
turns out a bad actor and unworthy
of the attention he receives Is there
not medium road to travel in this
colt training especially when draft
colts are under consideration? 1t is
certainly foolish to waste time train
ing colts that would be as well off
without a good deal of the handling.
At the beginning, however, we may
be sure that halter handling from
very tender age is essential. 1t is one
thing that colt never seems to learn
well after he has become large and
strong and horse that does not step
up promptly to the halter and that
does not firmly believe that his CON
nection with the man at the other end
of the halter is absolutely unbreaka-
BILE is surely more or less a nuisance
for his full life and that generally
means for twenty years or more-a
long time to contend with any nui-
tance.
AS to the ACCESSIBILITY of further
training of the draft colt before he is
past two there may well be some
doubt Our drafterS take naturally to
work in harness, some actually step
ping into regular work the first time
harnessed and eventually becoming
true and energetic workers. But per
haps this requires unusual ability and
patience, which 1t is extremely doubt
full If more than small minority of
those who handle horses possess. This
question of extended early training OF
draft colts is debatable. Perhaps in
the end the plan to be followed mat
tiers not all depending upon the man.
Surely some men are so constituted
as to spoil any horses they handle
whatever the system or lack OF system
followed.-National Stockman.

the calf points to the desire to give
milk. II you gain her affection the
milk producing quality will be largely
developed. At the time of calving the
cows should receive particular atten-
ton. They should be very kindly
treated. &lould be groomed regularly,
should be rubbed gently and every
thing done to render them contented
and quiet.
Whatever you do, don't under any
circumstances send the dogs after the
COWS. This causes excitement, and if
the cows are heavy mixers their I'D
1ers will be injured if they are forced
to run. Every COW should have Il
name, and she should be called by that
name.
During the eight or nine weeks when
the cows are dry feed should consist
chiefly of roughage. | believe in an
allowance of from two to three pounds
Of bran or oats or one pound of oats,
one of bran and one-half of linseed
meal or corn. Oil meal is an excel
lent feed for dairy cows near calving
lime. Pumpkins, squashes, cabbage or
roots are also excellent, and. of course,
| lots of clean water must always be
provided, the best results being secured
when the chill is taken out of cold wa
ter during the winter. Straw and corn
stalks are not particularly good at this
| time. These with cold water. cold
drafts or lying out in the night on
damp. frozen ground, are the chief
causes of caked udder or garget just
before the calf comes.

Cows OF good breeding are always
in demand at good prices, and that
demand was never greater than
now. The grower of calves from
good cows can well afford to give
them the start necessary on whole
milk and the skimmilk necessary
to bring them to the point at which
they can exist on grain and hay
and pasture. A well bred. well
reared heifer calf at two years of
age and soon to be fresh will sell
for more money than a beef animal
of the same age, and it will not
cost SO much to produce the heifer
as the beef animal. The illustra-

SMALL TOWN BOYS.

Do you remember the lazy fellow
who used to sit around in the nipple
ment store and the barber shops in the
old home town and predict the failure
of every boy who tried to poke his nose
above the common herd? Up in the
village of Salem they used to crack
lots of jokes at the expense of lank
and ungainly young fellow who clerked
in the village grocery, poled fat boats
on the river and split rails for living.
They called him Abe in those days.
He became the president of the
United States and thousands from the
far places on the earth have visited
his tomb at Springfield to do him
honor. They used to make fun Of Bill
McAdoo back in the home town. Of
course you've heard of Bill. He dug
tunnel under the Hudson river and is
secretary Of the treasury now. But
there are lot of old tads back in the
old home town who sort of hope that
Bill will fall over something yet and
land in the consomme. And Orville
Wright was a regular joke in his old
home town.

Last year the United States said that
Louisiana could not raise wheat. This
year the first carlot Of wheat the
United States consumed came from
Louisiana There will be at least a
dozen more CARROTS of Louisiana wheat
marketed this season, and in future
seasons this state is expected to take
"a high place in wheat, just as 1t has
done in oats, corn and other crops
which were held to be unadapted to
this soil The carload referred to was
harvested around Ferriday, in Con-
cordia, and was shipped to st. Louis
by Nicely Brothers of Natchez, Miss.
The wheat was of such prime quality
that it was bought by the H. C. Cole
Milling Company, Chester, ILL.,, and
was converted into Omega -four. II
yielded forty bushels to the acre.

IMMENSE TREASURY DEFICIT.

paul Wooton in Times-Picayune.)
Inquiries at the White House as to
the possibility of executive recommen-
dation that the free sugar clause in the
Underwood traffic schedule be repeal.
ed continue to call forth determined
statements that no thought Of such
procedure is being entertained.
Those interested in sugar who are
keeping in touch with affairs at Wash
ington have given up any hope of such
recommendation coming from the Pres
ident or from the Secretary of the
Treasury.
Hope is entertained, however, that
conditions will force Congress to re-
peal the free sugar clause.
There has been some improvement
in the condition of the national treas
Jury during the last few weeks, but the
outlook is anything but reassuring.
The new. fiscal year is about to open
The treasury faces a deficit of $272,-
100000. 1t will take more than the
sugar revenue to meet it, but it would
help decidedly in reducing the amount
that will have to be raised by some
other means.
The treasury will enter the fiscal
year with deficit of $S2,500,0O0. To
this is to be added the $45,OOO,OOO now
being produced by sugar A postal
deficit of $15,OO0,0O0 must be added.
The Panama canal will require $780,
100000 more. The country will de.
mand additional military appropria-
tons of no less than $5O,OOO,OOO. This
last item is likely to be very much
higher. The war tax will stop by limi-
tation, making another $49,50O,00O
which must be found.
The condition of the Golfers in the
national treasury is quite in contrast
with those of the national banks of the
country The statement of the nation
al banks on May / showed that they
hold $6,661, 100000 in deposits. Ma
tional banks represent about one-half
of the banking facilities of the country
Twice the amount of the national bank
deposits doubtless exists.

TEN REASONS FOR NOT RAISING
TICKS.

An Alabama paper, urging the es-
tablishment of dipping watts by CO
operation, thus enumerates the reasons
for eradicating the fever tick:
/. 1t is parasite sucking the life
blood of the animal.
2. 1t communicates to the COW the
deadly disease known as tick fever.
3. The hides from tieky cows bring
three cents pound less than those
from tick-free cattle, causing a loss Of
$18,O00,O0O year in the South.
4. The flesh of ticky cattle is tough
and will not sell on the market like the
tender beef from the north and west.
Even our southern hotels use Kansas
City beef.
5. The cattle tick reduces the price
OF cattle 1915 head, loss to the
South of 100000 a year; a loss to
Alabama of $9,7O0,0OO year.
6. The value of milk cows is Sc a
head less where ticks infest them.
7. In ticky counties S95 head of cattle
on an average die every year, while In
tick-free counties only twenty head die
yearly.
8. We can raise cattle two cents
pound cheaper than in the North.
8. Northern cattle bring two cents
pound more than ours.
10. States that are tick-free have
more than FIVE times as many cattle as
we have, and the grades are much
better.
