Save The Late MouIter For A
Breeder.

College Park, Md, September 28.-
In answer to inquiries regarding the
selection of breeding stock, Poultry
man Roy H. Waite, of the Maryland
Experiment Station, offers some prac-
tical suggestions regarding the using
of late moulters. He says, Don't
kill off the old hen just because she
waits until cold weather before she'd
ding her feathers. True, she isn't a
very pretty specimen running around
nearly naked during a cold season of
the year, but she has reason for so
doing She has been using her energy
and the feed she has consumed for
producing eggs.
IF you have such hens in your flock,
it will pay you to mark them in some
way, so that you can hatch some eggs
from them next spring. Toe mark or
leg band some of the cockerels from
them and use these for breeding the
next season. The pullets may not be
anything special for they inherit their
egg laying ability from their stres
High laying cannot be transmitted
from the mother to the daughter, but
a high laying female transmits her
laying characteristics to her sons.

The Democratic Mass-Meeting

A rousing meeting was held by the
Democrats in the Court House here on
Tuesday, at which David J. Lewis,
jackson H. Ralston, their candidates
for United States Senate, and member
of Congress respectfully, Carl Vroo-
man, assistant secretary OF Agrlcul-
ture; Robert Z. Mattlngly and II. Mar
tin Williams spoke.
Mr.. T. Howard Ddckett was elected
chairman of the meeting, which Was
one uI me ID. geoC ese. neII nee b-lIg
crowded WITH men and Women from all
parts of the county VINO stayed
throughout although the speech making
lasted over Two hours.
Mr.. Lewis devoted most OF MS
speech to the benefit derived by the
country from the Underwood tariff
But first he scored the Republican crit
cism of President Wilson's foreign
policy. There are times" he said
''when a nation honestly may lave tc
90 to war. But always some one
somewhere has Numbered. Heroes
fight the battles that fools provoke
And an executive has no more right tC
be proud of taking a nation into wal
than an engineer has of running train
into a wreck Yet Roosevelt anC
Hughes are proclaimlng policy which
President Wilson truly says will mean
that this country must go into the
wreck and devastation that is upor
most Of the world"
Mr.. Ralston devoted little of his
speech to exploitation Of his own vlr
tues. He stated his conception of the
duties of Congressman and asked fol
the votes of the people. But most OF
his time was given to warm and feel
ing tribute to Mr.. Lewis and to praise
of President Wilson. He said he Otter
had felt that the latter needed in thes'
last two years, and that he possessed
the patriotism of Washington, the low
of Democracy of Jefferson, the fearles
and stubborn courage to fight agains
special privileges of Jackson, and th
infinite patience of Lincoln.

TONS County Demonstration Agents
In the State are active in aiding farm
ers in giving their seed proper treat
ment for this trouble, as suggested IN
q circular prepared by Nicholas
Schmitz. Of the Extension Ser"ice. In
regard to treatment for smut, Prof.
Schmitz says, Before commencing any
treatment for sinking smut, it is al
ways advisable to remove all unbroken
smut balls Since the smut balls are
much lighter than the sound grain,
thorough tanning will usually do this.
II this cannot be done by tanning,
then the grain should be poured into a
barrel of cold water and thoroughly
stirred, so that all the smut balls will
come to the surface. where they cap
be skinned off.

Formalin Treatment.

BUY from your druggist, guaranteed
formalin (forty per cent. solution OF
formaldehyde). Pour one pint Zone
pound) into 40 to 40 gallons of water
and mix thoroughly. Put the grain to
be treated in basket ~ bushel at
time) or in sacks and plunge the grain
into the solution until completely sub
merged. Do this over and over for
moment until every grain is thorough
ly wet. Then raise the sack or basket
to allow the solution to drain back.
Next place the sacks where they will
drain completely or dump the grain
out in pile. Cover the pile with sacks
or canvas and allow it to remain in
this way for twelve hours or more.
Then the grain should be spread out
on a clean floor to dry. This amount
of solution should be sufficient for
treating 40 to SO bushels of wheat.
"a good plan is to treat the seed in
the evening and let it lie in the Gov
cred piles until morning About one
gallon of the solution will be required
for every bushel of grain. Another
method is to sprinkle the solution on.
instead of immersing the grain. Ac
cording to this method, the seed
should be spread out thickly over
floor and the solution applied with a
sprinkling can or with spray pump,
throwing a fine spray. While the solu
ton is being applied, the grain should
no yfi cfnn w writ hnn
shovel or garden rake, until every
grain is thoroughly wet. About three
quarts of the solution to the bushel
will be required. After the grain is
thoroughly wet, it may be put in a
pile and allowed to remain this way
for the same length of time as stated
above
Treated seed may be sown the fol
lowing day after it has been spread out
to dry, or it may be thoroughly dried
and kept Indefinitely. If sown soon
after treatment, the drill should be
set to sow from one-fourth to one
third more than for a normal seeding
of thoroughly dry seed.
Cautions.
eft must be remembered that
smutted lot Of wheat will always leave
some of the smut spores wherever it
is placed, whether this be in bins or
sacks. Therefore treated seed should
never be put back in bins or sacks
which previously contained smutted
seed. If it is necessary to place the
seed back into infected sacks, they
should first be treated for smut the
same as the seed. 1t is also advisable
to disinfect the drill before sowing
the treated grain.
"Seed treated with formalin is not
poisonous to stock, but it is never adj
visible to feed it. Before treating,
consult your County Demonstration
Agent. You are entitled to his assist,

 The Northern Commercial company is denounced as a monopoly by some of the smaller merchants of Alaska. There is probably considerable truth in the statement; but any one can import goods and there are several firms here that are doing very large business for this part of the world. One Is E. R. Peoples. incorporated, and another is the Dominion Commercial company, both Of which have their headquarters at Fairbanks and do business with the mining camps for 100 miles or so in the neighborhood They also send goods by small steamers far up the tributaries of the Yukon. One of their trading stations is at Bettles. the chief town of the Koyukuk river and the head of steamship navigation on that stream. The goods go to Bottles and from there are carried something like 50 miles across country to placer mines that are now doing well. The pay dirt is only about four or five feet from the grass roots and is yielding from $1.5o to $1o to the square foot of bed rock.
 Another trading station is Wiseman, about 90 miles from Bettles. It is also on the Koyukuk, but the stream is so shallow that the goods are hauled there on barges drawn by horses. The freight rate is sl.40 ton, and the goods are much higher in consequence. Flour sells at Wiseman for $36 a barrel, and bacon brings 75 cents pound The most of the merchandise is paid for in gold dust A miner will come in and pay for his pur- chases out of his poke of gold dust, the storekeeper weighing out the amount needed. There are now something like 25o miners in the Koyukuk region, and their trade is worth thousand dollars per man. The miners will often come In at the close of a season and drink up all they have made within a few days. A miner will put his poke of gold on the bar of saloon and ask all to drink with him It is an insult not to join in, whether you know him or not. The man keeps up his spree until his money is gone and then. like as not, gets credit for a new supply of goods for the camp.
 Most of the business of Alaska is done upon credit and anyone who would sell much has to give time. The people here tell me thai the merchants are liberal in their advancements to miners. I talked with commercial traveller last night who started to Fairbanks with six horses freighting goods in over the trail He got into a cold snap on the way and his horses died of starvation. He arrived in Fairbanks with only enough for mining outfit, but the merchants gave him credit
