Sweet Potatoes As A Food
For Hogs.

Sweet potatoes planted in June
and early July will be- ready for
feeding about the middle of Octo.
ber. Hogs turned in them at that
time will probably root out more
potatoes than they will eat, but
there will not be very much loss
from this. An acre Of potatoes
will feed eight to ten hogs, one
year old. fol- sixty days, if supple.
msnted by such feeds as rice po
lish and bran.
l believe that sweet potato is
the best root crop for fall aud win
ter grazing for hogs, and that the
cut-ovsr pIns bill lands will likely
develop as a hog-raisipg country
for tho reason that the soils are
prominently suited to the produc-
ton OF sweet potatoes, peanuts
and COW peas, and also produce
fairly good oats for winter graz.

propose to give Us has one main
subject, and that is to get more

The politicians in convention will
never think of considering any
means to cut down the expenses
OF the state by reducing the high

SHIPPING TROUBLES.
lEnirhnnks Tlmesl

(Fairbank6 Iimes-l
 There is not business in Fairbanks who can not quote instances of delay and Inconvenience that have been occasioned him through the neglect Of Outside rs to abide by his shipping instructions The condition first arose when the camp n its infancy began to puy goods in the States and it continued with monoonous sameness.
 Instructions to ship by express after the close ol navigation and urgently required in time for the Cnris mas season arc carefully brushed aside by the smart shipping clerk employed by the Outside concern UT course those people in Alaska don't know anything aoou the parcels post he argues. But he condescen9s 70 give them the benefit of his superior wisdom and tne goods are mailed arriving Tn time for the Fourth or July
 Instances of shipments arriving on the coast too late to be forwarded North during the season of navigation i'm spite of the most explicit directions are afforded every season. while the choice of route made by tue consIgnec Is frequently d,sregarded.
 This is a matter which within the province or the Commercial club would seem that the trouble could be aayed a certain extent. at least 1T con certed attempt made.
 There are businessmen in town. who from long ex- perience could draft list of shipping instructions that would embrace practically every contingency. Such list could be brief and yet couched in such terms as would forcbly convey the directions Printed and distributed to those who would inclose them with their orders t would at least impress the fact that Alaskans know best how they want their goods shipped and are insistent on having them come that way

 The condition is one that is particularly satisfying 10 those who have cast their lots with this section of Alaska But there is even brighter side to the pleas ant situation That Is that which is fast approach ng. promises to be even better year than the one that is passing away The signs of the times tell us plainly that the payros will be larger next year than they have been hIs year The gold output will be larger and the development greater.

CPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A recent farmers bulletin (No. 624)
Issued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, entitled Natural
and Artificial Brooding Of Chickens"
contains some interesting suggestions
regarding the feeding of young chick
ems. The accompanying figure Illus
trates a frame cover with wire netting
to protect feed of young chicks from
the older fowls.
Young chickens should be fed from
three to FIVE times daily, depending
upon ones experience in feeding. I'm
doubtedly chickens can be grown fast
er by feeding five times daily than by
feeding three times daily, but it
should be borne in mind that more
harm can be done to the young chick
ems by overlooking than by under
feeding, and at no time should they be
fed more than barely to satisfy their
appetites and to keep them exercis-
ing, except at the evening or last meal,
when they should be given all they
will eat. Greater care must be exer-
cised not to oyerfeed young chicks
that are confined than those that have
free range, as leg weakness is liable to
result in those confined.
Farmers who have no experience in
hog raising but who wish to start a
herd on their farms are urged by the
United States department of agricul-
ture to make haste slowly. 1t will be
real economy, they say, if the begin
ner can secure the advice and assist
ance of an experienced breeder.
Whether he succeeds in this or not,
he should start with a small herd.
Five sows will be enough for the first
year if these are really good animals.
The chief points to be desired in a
brood SOW are set forth in farmers
bulletin 205 of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, published In
der the title of Pig Measurement"
The sows selected should be nearly
the same age and uniform in type. The
forehead should be broad between the
eyes, the throat clean and trim, the
neck moderately thin and the shout
ders smooth and deep; the back should
be fairly wide and straight, and ample

10 s.: ELEPHANTS
Coed NaiuFe Characteristic Of Jungle
Monster, Says Traveller Who
Should Know.

In 1905 l found myself near the
Inzia, river, an important afIluent of
the XVIII, flowing through a fertile
region which is infested by herds Of
elephants, a source of constant anxi-
ETY. and frequent losses to the agri-
cultural inhabitant, writes e. To-day
in the Wide World Magazine. In a
country like this, where he is not
hunted by man in the ordinary way
and the only means for his destruction
ara cruel but easily avoided pitfalls,
the elephant is decidedly good ma
boys at Pana that in the rainless sea-
son, when their usual haunts are
dried up, the elephants frequently
wander neal the river and attack the
plantations. The natives try to drive
them away with sticks! But it is no
good hitting them or throwing stones
at them," l was told; they generally
refuse to take any notice. Sometimes
a mother with a calf will turn on us
and chase us for 100 yards or so, but
no real harm is meant and the ami
NAL is not really angry, for all the
signs of fury-spread ears and raised
trunk-are absent All the same we
do run away, although we know there
Is no danger. One day a boy fell
when thus pursued, but the elephant
only threw sand on him."
AS l have myself seen a man just
pushed out of the way by n of these
good-natured monsters, when the an
imal had more than enough provoca-
ton to kill him, l was inclined t o &C.

USE OF SIGHT ON A RIFLE
Necessary a Bullet Cannot Be
Mace to Travel on a
Straight Line.

The average person, If asked to ex-
plain why a rifle is sighted, would
probably be unable to do so beyond
some vague remark about taking cor
rect aim.
Sights are necessary because a bull
let does not travel in a straight line,
but, under the influence of gravity ard
friction, begin to drop almost as soon
as it leaves the muzzle. Thus the
bullet of service rifle (Lee En-
ield) drops six inches in the first
100 yards, but when it has gone 200
yards it will have dropped not IL
inches, but two feet. The drop in
by leaps and bounds with
the distance. Were there no sights
on the rife and you wanted to hit a
mark at 200 yards, you would clearly
have to aim two feet above it.
This would be awkward, for you
would lose sight of The oh ct aimed
at, to cay notI;n Of the difficulty of
correctly estimating a distance of
two feet at 200 ycrds.
The sig hts Of a rifle enable you -
keep your eye OH the M rk, although
the nezzle OF the rifle is actually
pointed above it. The moving slide Of
the back sight enables you autoniat-
icaIly to point the muzzle just SO
many feet above the mark aimed at
as is necessary to cosnte.act the
known crop Ct TIE bullet at various
ranges.-Londea .st ets.
