ing of the dairy COW, and l say I'M
hesitatingly that a rotation of corn,
oats and peas, and clover-three-year
rotation, will prove the most efficient
In a northern latitude. BY this ro-
tation, it is possible to get along with
a minimum of grain foods, and that
only of the highly concentrated sort,
worth almost as much for fertilizer
as for food.
Corn ensilage is the cheapest food
for the dairy cow. Every man who
has fed dairy cattle knows that sue
culence adds value to the cows food,
and that there is no crop that will
afford this as cheaply as ensilage from
well-matured corn.
The advantage of crop of mangels
or rutabagas is not so much in their
nutritive value as in the fact that they
furnish succulence, when the COWS are
being maintained on dry foods. While
root crops are very generally used
in England and Germany and are held
in high esteem rs an appetizer and
conditioner in this country, their use
on dairy farms is quite limited.

FEEDING IN A DAIRY.
Error Made in Giving Too Much
Cheap Concentrates.
Chief Problem Is to Furnish a Stuff
clent, and at Same Time Not Too
Costly Supply Of the Best
Protein Foods.
By W. M KEIIEy1


According to accepted standards, a
COW weighing one thousand pounds
will require about one pound OF pro.
tein a day in a maintenance ration.
and one producing from thirty to
forty pounds of milk a day will re-
quire from one and one-fourth to one
aud three-fourths pounds additional.
or total of from two and onefourth
TO two and three-fourths pounds a
day. Our dairy business, especially
in the East. has been developed large
ly upon basis of cheap protein
foods; and as a result many dairymen
have been buying and feeding too
many protein concentrates, for the
purpose of stimulating a large flow of
milk.
Some dairymen are feeding each
cow daily from eight to ten pounds
of gluten and other highly-concen-
trated protein feeds; but it is my
judgment that they are making a mis-
take and cannot obtain profitable re.
suits in the pail or by added fertility
in the manure heap.
Our farm crops, clover and timothy
hay, corn and other fodder, and for
age, with oats, barley, wheat-bran
and corn for concentrates, and a little
of the more highly concentrated pro-
tein foods form an ideal combination
to promote health and vitality. We
may get a little less milk, but our
cows will breed more regularly, and
we shall have better calves.
The low percentage of protein, and
the high percentage of water in corn
ensiIage makes it desirable to feed
with it an abundance of good clover
hay, which makes a better ration
than either alone, but one that is far
from perfect.
When feeding ensilage and clover
hay, a liberal admixture of home
grown grain foods should be added to
balance the ration with protein. We
should make constant effort to pro-
duce various kinds of proteinaceous
forage and fodder crops.
This brings up the question of ro-
tation Of crops best suited to the feed

All Want TO Wear Gowns.

TIE craze for legal gowns, says a
Calcutta newspaper, has now spread
to the mukhtears of Bengal. A few
years ago vakils obtained permission
to wear gowns. Black gowns were
suggested by vakils but as these would
have led to their being mistaken for
members of the bar, blue gowns were
given them. Recently the pleaders
asked that the privilege Of wearing
gowns should be extended to them and
the necessary sanction was granted,
green being the color selected. Not to
be eutdone the mukhtears are now
moving in the matter and the initia-
tive has been taken by those practic-
ing in the Jalpaiguri courts who have
petitioned the registrar on the appel
late side of the Calcutta high court to
be allowed to wear gowns. The color
suggested is chocolate. The matter
is under consideration by the chief
Justice.

couver, and through the Lynn canal,
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
eontrol 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
land"
Skagway is surrounded on three
sides by plateau of steep and rug
ged mountains through which two
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,
tools and tents in the mad rush to the
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 SCI miles OF their
venturesome journey to Dawson City.
The last stretch of the railroad from
Skagway runs along Lake Bennett to
White Horse, few miles above Lake
Laberge, where safe navigation down
the Lewes river to Dawson begins.

FRUGALITY HAS ITS ROMANCE
It is to Be Found In the Practice Of
Saving Some Part OF Ones
Earnings.

There is an injurious idea prevalent
among young Americans that pru-
dence, economy, caution and frugality
are among the mean qualities, and this
accounts largely for the meretricious
prioe of spending time and money,
just as it partly explains the popular
ity of so many amiable wastrels. A
good fellow" may be not self con-
demned fool, but he cannot discredit
the truism that fool and his money
are soon parted, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
Many of what we have come to call
wants" are desires of the magma
ton, or of vanity or of self indulgence
We have drifted into a confusion of
the meaning and value of happiness as
contrasted with pleasure, and are
prone to accept ostentation in lieu of
the fact and substance of thrift. The
ways of thrift are different from the
ways of parsimony.
There is an admirable quality Of dig
nifty and simplicity about the frugal
but adequate way of living, that en-
phasizes the vulgarity of extravaganza
and the childish folly of pretended
opulence. There is SAVIOR of gentility
about the practice of saving part of
ones earnings that leads to its own
quiet romance, and life itself takes on
a calmer, cleaner, sweeter value if we
conserve and cherish at least por-
finn nf ifG daily OffaripCa
Sensibly regarded, there is nothing
sordid about the habit of frugality;
but there is squalor and a siovenli-
ness about the wastage of time and
the squandering of money that is as
unromantic as any phase of the
thoughtlessly selfish living. And there
is, too. gently humanizing influence
about the habit of saving that makes
for modesty, industry and sympathy
those quiet, homely agencies that go
furthest to stabilize and sweeten life.

in the sand of the Yukon for hundreds
OF miles up the valley. Dawson City
is situated on the alluvial fat 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 1859, 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 1S94-19G6 the
discoveries of Bob Henderson and
George Cormack, in Hunker and Boz
nanZa creek and many miners made
fortunes in 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 Sc feet by 800 feet, but, SO
the story goes, he spent it in a few
years and died in poverty. The quick
est fortune oI record was secured by
two men who cleaned up gold to the
value of $65,009 in ~ 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, 275 900,
the highest point. From this point a.
steady decline began until in 1908,
when it was $2,829,131, 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,O00,000. At the height of
the boom in the winter of 1899 the
population of Dawson is said to have
reached $4,000; recently, however, 1t

ADD TO BEAUTY OF EARTH
Writer'S Tribute to the Tree Is Worthy
of Remembrance Throughout
the Ages.

Oh! Don Pepino, old trees in their
living state are the only things that
money cannot command. Rivers leave
their beds, run into cities and traverse
mountains for it; obelisks and arches,
palaces and temples, amphitheaters
and pyramids rise up like exhalations
at its bidding; even the free spirit of
man, the only thing great on earth,
crouches and covers in its presence
it passes away and vanishes before
venerable trees. How many fond
and how many lively thoughts have
been nurtured under this tree! how
rlany kind hearts have beaten herei It's
branches are not so numerous as the
couples they have invited to sit beside
it, nor its blossoms and leaves together
as the expressions of tenderness it
has witnessed. What appeals to the
pure, all-seeing heavensi what simil-
itudes to the everlasting mountains!
what protestations of eternal truth
and constancyi-from those who are
now earth; they and their shrouds
and their collins. The caper and fig
tree have split their monuments, and
boys have broken the hazel nut with
the fragments. Emblems of past lives
and future hopes, severed names which
hottest rites united, broken letters of
brief happiness, bestrew the road and
speak to the passerby in vain.-Wal-
ter Savage Lander.

Three Ways of Getting Gold. 4
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 fiume and sluice
box; small parties, by working drift
with mechanical scrapers and sluices,
CT 1rift-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 a
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
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 it 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
lead to the permanent settlement of
this remote and almost uninhabited
outpost.
