DORMANT PRUNING OF TREES
Most Fruit Growers viii Trim OF
Sprouts Whenever Seen Regard
less of the Season.

(By N. o. BOOTH. Oklahoma A. and M
College. Stillwater)
Fruit trees, and, in fact, all trees.
should be pruned during the winter at
the time when the trees are thorough
ly dormant. Most fruit growers will
trim off sprouts, starting at the foot
of tree or the trunk whenever the
sprouts are seen. regardless of the sea
son. Where branches of any size are
to be removed the work should be
done during the winter.
In case the trees are tender, such as
peach or apricot trees. the pruning
should be done in the latter part of
the winter, after all danger of freezing
Is over.
1t is mistake to prune cherry trees
except to keep sprouts away from the
foot of the tree and from growing on
the trunk. The only pruning thar
cherries should ever receive is tina,
given at the time of setting.

HOGS IN HEALTHY CONDITION
Mixture Given for Keeping Animals
Free From Intestinal Worms and
Supplying Mineral Matter.

(By DIR. w. II. DALRYMPLE. Professor
OF Veterinary Science. Louisiana State
University
The following mixture should be
placed in every hog lot as it will help
to keep the hogs free from intestinal
worms and other parasites as well as
supply mineral matter needed for the
building of bones and other tissues:
One bushel of wood ashes.
Six bushels of corn cob charcoal.
Three bushels of common charcoal
Eight pounds of common salt.
Two quarts of air-slaked lime.
Fifty pounds of raw rock phosphate.
After these ingredients are thorough.
ly mixed and broken up, IL pounds of
copperas dissolved in water. should
be sprayed over the mass and thor
oughly mixed with it. Any quantity
may be prepared by following the pro.
portions given. 1t is fed by being
placed in troughs. protected from the
rain.

fed horses will vary so much in their
requirements that it is difficult to
name any definite quantity which a
horse should have as his daily ration.
1t should be regulated by the man
feeding the horse, and should be gov
erned by the capacity and needs OF
the horse. A stallion should not be
given more than he will clean up with
in half an hour after feeding. Always
leave him little hungry. Do not over
feed on hay, as 1t is not necessary to
crowd the horse full of hay all the
time. Do not stuff his manger full OF
hay once or twice a day and allow him
to eat till he cleans it up. That is
a poor way to feed hay. Chopped hay.
mixed with the grain, increases the eff
ficiency of the ration The horse
should be supplied with plenty of good.
fresh. clean water. During the hot
weather the horse should be watered
quite frequently. Overlooking and lit
tie or no exercise tends to cause swol-
len legs, scratches, grease; a wet
stall causes thrush and canker.
When you have done your part so
far as feeding is concerned, remem-
Der that the horse needs exercise.
If you have paddock in which he can
run, so much the better. If there is
no other way to furnish exercise. the
horse should be walked. He must
have exercise IL you expect results
from him. A horse that is confined is
not very sure foal-getter. The very
best exercise for stallion is to work
him daily at some light work. If ev-
cry stallion received a moderate
amount of exercise. the number OF
foals would increase from Is to 20
per cent Keep him in well lighted
stable, and don't have him alone away
from the other horses.
Another thing some people forget is
grooming. Frequent and thorough
grooming is very essential to keep the
stallion comfortable and the skin in
good, healthy condition.

Best Form of Protection.

We must sell if we would buy. We
must buy il we would SELL Goods
should pay for goods, as closely as is
practicable. Our best protection
against the curse of food of cheap
goods, which would require the export
of domestic goods to pay for them at
our own prices, is not a tariff of ex-
clusion and restriction, of home indus
try. The situation of the late nine
ties is now reversed. After the pan
les of 1903 and 1907 our invasion of
the markets of Europe appalled, them.
That invasion was checked by our own
prosperity, which rose to such an ex-
tent that we consumed our products.
In like manner the happiest remedy
for the European invasion of our mar
ket, under conditions compelling sales
at close margins, is the restoration of
European prosperity to such an extent
that they will use their own products.
and take our own increasingly.

Klondike ap ~ |:
Xko,, loday

in the sand of the Yukon for hundreds
of miles up the valley. Dawson City
is situated on the alluvial fiat where
the Yukon is joined by the Klondike
river, two tributaries of which are the
famous Bonanza creek and Hunker
creek. Although traces of gold were
discovered in the Yukon valley in
about 1869, it was twelve years later,
in 1881, before it was found in the
Big Salmon, and in the Lewes, after
ward coarse gold was found on the
Fortymile, a tributary of the Yukon
below Dawson, and in 1S94-1906 the
discoveries of Bob Henderson and
George Cormack, in Hunker and Bo-
nanza creek and many miners made
fortunes in a short time, but unfor-
tunately most of the gold was spent
foolishly or in debauchery. One man
is said to have taken 100000 out Of
a claim So feet by 300 feet, but, SO
the story goes, he spent it in few
years and died in poverty. The quick
est fortune on record was secured by
two men who cleaned up gold to the
value of $4,000 in 27 hours. Stories
of the proceedings at Klondike during
these golden days" are not edifying,
but point to the moral that wealth
too easily and quickly won is apt to
work i'll.
The total output in 1898 was $780,
100000. from which figure it jumped
six million annually until 1900, when
the production reached $22,275,0 900,
the highest point. From this point
steady decline began until in 1908,
when 1t was $2,S29,131 at which time
hydraulicking and dredging began,
and the total output rose slowly until
it was $5,01S,411 in 1918. 1t has been
estimated that only about $20,000,000
worth of gold remains to be produced,
out of the original available amount OF
nearly $1S0,00O,O00. At the height OF
the boom in the winter of 1899 the
population of Dawson is said to have
reached $4,000; recently. however, il

to Skagway, which he terms the gate
way to the Yukon, and describes as
"a wretched little town with decayed
wooden houses and grass-grown
streets, the scene of many robberies,
riots and murders at the time of the
gold rush, which the police authorities
had neither the power nor energy to
control. Skagway is not, and can
never be, Of much use to the United
States except as an obstruction to
Canadian progress, but might be of
some advantage to the vast Canadian
hinterland less than twenty miles in

Skagway is surrounded on three
sides by a plateau of steep and rug

trails lead to the north over the White
Horse and the Chilcoot passes, up
whose wild and difficult ravines thou
sands of fortune-seekers trekked and
struggled with their heavy packs,

expected Ell Dorado over five hundred
miles away. Soon after the gold was
found in quantities a mountain rail-
road was built up the White pass
from Skagway to the summit and on
to Lake Bennett, distance of 40
miles, traversing a wild and iceworn
plateau of gigantic proportions,
strewn with moraines, sprinkled over
with lakes and inclosed by snowy
peaks 5000 to 5000 feet in height.
At the head of Lake Bennett lies the
deserted town of Bennett, where, at
the time of the gold rush, there were
lodged some five thousand people in
houses, huts and tents The only
building now standing beside the rail-
road station is wooden Presbyterian
church-which shows that at least a
few righteous men were among that
sordid crowd. 1t was here that the
first prospectors and miners got into
boats and canoes and navigated their
frail craft through lakes and rapids
for the remaining 531 miles of their
venturesome journey to Dawson City.

Colonel In Error, as Usual.

The colonel falls into an error
which no statesman who has been as
fond of Franklin as he has been is
apt to make. He speaks often of the
'timidity" of this administration. But
Franklin put it right when he said,
THE fear of being thought weak is a
timidity and weakness of the worst
sort, as it betrays into a persisting
in errors that may be much more mis-
chievous thaS the appearance of weak
ness" 1t is the part of heroic pres
ident to have no fear Of those who
call him weak" and "timid." Frank
lin must have curled his lip when right
after that he asked, And do your lord
ships really think force and bloodshed
more eligible than rectifying an err
ror?" The forefathers had the au-
tocracy Of George III to handle, and
they did not do it by ultimatum, the
weapon of the autocrat, but by d.
plomacy. the weapon of righteous
people seeking justice.-Brooklyp

Animal Husbandry. Oklahoma A. and

Many stations are at least partially
ruined between seasons. This is due
to improper feeding and care Some
men starve their stations after the
breeding season on the theory that
they cannot afford to feed literally
when there Is no income. This is GER
tainly mistake. 1t does not even re-
suit in a saving of feed. as it will cost
more to put the horse back into the
proper condition when the breeding
season opens. 1t is cheaper to keep
a horse in good flesh all the time
than to allow him to run down during
part of the year and then by heavy
feeding for few months bring him
back to the required condition.
Crushed oats and bran with good
hay is hard to beat. Ground corn or

and oilmeal also makes a splendid

Three Ways of Getting Gold.
The various processes of recovering
gold in this region fall under three
main Observation-Disclosures, by washing
surface gravels with shovel and pan,
or by sluicing with flume and sluice
box; small parties. by working drift
with mechanical scrapers and sluices,
or drift-mining in shafts and sluicing,
and capitalists, by dredging with pow
erful mechanical plants, hydraulic
sluicing with monitors, or mining and
stamping ore in mills. The first class
includes poor mems diggings" and
the second requires more financial re-
sources and mechanical ability, but
successful man in the first may be-
come a member of the second class.
While the first two classes require
fairly rich ground, only men with ex-
ceptional ability and ample capital can
reach the third class and work the
low-grade placer gravels or quartz
veins successfully.
The author describes in detail the
several methods of extracting gold
from the frozen Klondike field, based
upon his personal observations, and
shows how man has changed the to-
Biography of this district, especially in
the valleys First the drift miners
turned the gravel upside down, then
the dredgers plowed it all over again
and threw 1t into great ridges of stone
with mud banks between, and finally
where there were white gravels on
the high ground. the hydraulic
giants" washed them down into great
fan-shaped cones, sometimes reaching
across the entire valley, completely
burying all below, damming up gullies
and producing new lakes. All of which
operations have made tough problems
for the future geologist.
The vast territory Of the Yukon dis
trict is imperfectly explored, and al
though it is far north, the climate in
summer is warm and favorable for ag-
riculture and grazing. Exploration is
now readily effected from Dawson, and
Mr.. Cadell hopes that fresh enterprise
will reveal new resources that will

GO SLOW ON TARIFF
Matter Too important for Hasty
Judgment.
Conditions When the European War
Is Ended May Demand a Readjust-
ment Of Schedules or II May
BE Unnecessary.

Like all other instructors in the pro-
tectionist school, our neighbor the Sun
believes that there is only one way to
revise the tariff, which is upward. and
only one acceptable time, which is
now. No matter II all industrial Eu-
rope is at war and is doomed to re-
main so. perhaps, for two years more,
there will be peace eventually. and
then 'our manufacturers, merchants
and workers will be at the mercy of
the most skillful and desperate COM
petition the world has ever known"
Probably no well-informed person
will deny that after the close of the
war there will arise economic condi-
lions in Europe that may demand i'm
portant changes in our tariff. Good
reasons may appear for increasing
some of the schedules, but it is quite
as likely that common sense will die
tate decreases in others. With due re-
spect to the protectionist school. it
must be said that the American tariff
is going to be adjusted to revenue as
well as protection for many a day.
Existing customs duties have failed
as revenue-producers because the war
has reduced imports. The war. there
Gore. has given most of our manufac
turers and merchants the advantage
that they would hope for under a pro
hibitive tariff. To increase rates upon
a traffic that does not exist would be
useless. and experimentation in other
directions, except for the one object
of revenue, would only invite jobbery
and disaster.
1t is not in the mind of any disinter-
ested man to say precisely what kind
of tariff we shall need when Europe
relinquishes the sword. But the very
worst of all tariffs in that emergency
would be one under which few ia.
vored interests could perpetuate in
time of peace the distractions from
which we have suffered in time of
war.-New York World.

MANNER OF SEALING A SlLO
Time Before Feeding Covering
of Some Kind Is Made.

(By j. G. WATSON. Missouri College of
Agrculture.)
There is always some loss on the
top of the silags unless feeding is be-
gun as soon as the silo is filed. Where
the silage is to stand for some time be-
fore feeding 1t is customary to run In
three or four loads of cornstalks from
which the ears have been removed.
This material is packed thoroughly;
then a liberal supply OF water is
added. which will help to seal the silo.
and only very small amount of
waste will result. Some farmers use
oat straw as covering; others soak
the top of the silage with water and
SOW oats. which. when they germi-
nate. form dense mass. which shuts
out the air and keeps the silage from
spelling.
