HOONAH RESIDENTS
 DECIDEDLY ANGRY Y

J. J. Underwood writing in the Seattle Times of recent date, sets forth the situation at Hoonah very clearly. Hoonah, however, is not the only place thus affected. The article follows:
 Five white men, residents of Hoonah, Alaska, are being forced to the conclusion that governmental tyranny imposed upon them has
 reached the limit. They have been debarred from the great privilege
 of expressing their choice at a general election. That surely was bad enough. It made them more than hostile.
 But when they discovered that the privilege for which they yearn- ed had been granted to $50 Indians, while the white men will not be all lowed any vote at all, they thought it time to file protest. Hence James Wickersham, Alaska's delegate in Congress, is having a number of seances with the U. S. bureau of education and other departments at Washington.
 For many years the white men at Hoonah, most of whom are trad CTS, lived happily without a vote. There was no lofal government at Hoonah, but they managed to get along very we'll without it. Trade was good, the Indians were con tented, the fish cannery opened up each summer for a brief season, and everything was lovely.
 Into this Already of contentment, however, the Alaska Legislature at its last session unintentionally polk ed a meddlesome finger. There has been strife and pickering and dis content ever since. The Legislature passed a bill providing that the native residents of Indian villages might, if they so desired, establish a municipal government. Under the law these municipalities are to be strictly Indian organizations. The law worked out very well until it came to Hoonah. Up to that time the communities incorporated had been made up entirely of Indians.
 Taxation Without Representation.
 At Hoonah, it is different. Most of the taxable property belongs to the white men. They will have to pay most of the cost of running the municipal government, but will have no voice in it. Hence the protest to Washington.
 The commissioner of education has written W. T. Lopp, chief of the bureau of education in Alaska. for particulars. But Lopp, having no voice in, or influence with the ter rltorial Legislature cannot have the law repealed. The Legislature does not meet for another year, anyway.
 C. A. Bevans, one of the store keepers, in his letter to Washing ton says that he is already under the domination of one foreign gov ernment-namely, the forest service. and now an effort is being made 10 put him under another. He relates that a number of white men are be- ing denied the rights of citizenship and asks in capital letters: Can you beat it?"

Turkeys are considered as among

FIVE-CALK SHOE FOR HORSES
New Jersey Veterinarian Claims Extra
caII<s Add 100 Per Cent to Work
ing Value of Animal.

A New Jersey veterinarian, i'll a re-
cent article in the Journal of the Amer
lean Veterinary Association, advises a
shoe with five calks Instead of the Gus
tomary three. The two extra ealks are
placed, one on the middle of each side
of the shoe. It is claimed that these
two extra calks prevent the undue side
strain on the foot which so often
causes 1ameness with the -calked
shoe. The New Jersey veterinarian
making the suggestion, claims that this
will add 100 per cent to the working
value OF horses, and he closes his ar
ticle with the following:
"Win someone give just one reason
why shoes having but three calks ever
should be- used, or viii anyone offer
a single objection to the use of two
additional calks?'

SMALL FOWLS MosT POPULAR
Better or More Economical Producer
Than Large Varieties-Dryden
FaVors Plymouth Rock

''The small. active fowl, other
things being equal, is a better or
more economical producer than the
large fowl, and when the farmer is
seeking only after egg production. he
should choose q small breed" says
Professor Dryden, the man who is re-
spOnsible for the origin of the Oregon
Agricultural college hens. IT seems
TO be a law of nature in the animal
kingdom, that heavy producers are
small in size. active and nervous. 1t
is another question whether the best
egg producer is on the whole the most
profitable fowl. The poultrynan can
not eliminate the cockerelS- These
must be marketed and the larger
breeds, of course, sell for more than
the small breeds. Again, the produc-
ton of the laying hen does not inn
prove with age or experience. The
flock must be sold of at least every
two years. The Plymouth Rock, or
breeds Of that size, Will sell for
about twice as much as the LeghOrn-
Even within the breed or variety. Pro
fesSOr Dryden says, that the heavier
producers, on the average, are those
OF light weight. Sometimes some or
the heavy hens are heavy producers,
but this is not true of the average.
At the Oregon station a pen of Al
Plymouth Rock hens averaged 1909
eggs. Separating them according to
weight into three groups, we got this
result: Those having an average
weight Of seven pounds produced in
the first year AL eggs; medium
weight, or averaging six pounds,
1884 eggs, and light weight, averag-
ing five pounds, 1877 eggs. The IL
heaviest layers, those laying over 200
eggs, averaged in weight 90 pounds.

LUMPY JAW is NOT
CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
Trouble Is Caused by Fungus
Growing on Some of Grasses,
Bye, Barley and Corn.

Actinomycosia, or lumpy jaw, is
disease not uncommon with cattle. It
is caused by q fungus that grows on
some of the common plants, such as
the grasses, rye, barley and corn.
When the mouth of the animal is in
jured from eating dry, stiff forage, as
is frequently the case, the fungus
finds an entrance into the tissues and
begins growth. This causes the It's
sues to break down and form pus. If
the bone is affected the normal bone
will be broken down and new growth
of bone takes place around the dis
eased areas, causing an enlargement
or lump, hence the name lumpy jaw.

there may not always be an enlarge

In the ordinary climate the sheep

tanned a poisonous substance which

the result was abortion or a very weak

result was partial paralysis. The Wis

may be returned to the soil. This is
clear when one considers the fact that
a ton of milk contains 500 worth of
plant food, while a ton Of alfalfa con-
tains $3.50 worth of plant food.
with this system of farming large
variety of crops can be proftably
grown and utilized. Such crops as al
falfa and clover for hay, corn sorghum
for silage, and rye as a soiling crop
may be grown. With these crops it is
possible to practice a rotation in which
a legume is grown, thus increasing the
supply of nitrogen in the soil. This
is important, as the failure to include
a leguminouS crop in the rotation is
one of the common causes OF soil de-
pletion. The nitrogen content of the
soil is also increased when alfalfa is
fed and the manure is applied to the
land"
Concentrates Are Fertilizers.
The soil on many farms contains a
sufficient quantity of plantfood, points
out Mr.. Throckmorton, but is so devoid
of humuS that the food is unavailable
to the plant. A soil thus lacking in
vegetable matter will not retain water,
but packs, and bakes. Practically all
the manure produced on a dairy farm
may be returned to the soil. This will
add humus, thus making the soil more
productive. It may be proftably ap-
piled to alfalfa as a surface dressing
or in the field where Silage or soiling
crops are grown.
Buying concentrated feeding stuffs,
mon practice on many dairy farms.
These feeds are rich in fertiIizing in
gradients and If the resulting manure
is applied to the land the fertility may
be increased to a considerable extent.

BEST TIME TO CUT
SUDAN GRASS CROP
Best Hay Yield Secured When
Cut Just After Full Bloom
Holds Up Well.

By J. F. NICHOLSON, Agronomist, Ex-
pertinent Station University Of Ari-

Sudan grass yields the best hay when
cut just after full bloom. There are
times when it is advisable to cut the
hay before it has reached full bloom,
on account of removing the first cut
ting, so as TO get a more abundant sec
ond crop. If the season is short it may
be impossible to get two full crops, and
in this case it would be better to cut
the first one prematurely. Sudan grass

contaminate the feed. The use Of the
surgeons knife can be used to remove
the affected parts or the animal can
be treated by the iodide of potash
method. This consists of giving one

Treatment should be begun as soon
as possible after the character of the
disease has been determined. Animals
in advanced cases should be killed, as
their recovery is doubtful. Fat cattle
can be sold subject TO post-mortem ex-
animation. Milk from dairy COWS
