TIME TO MARKET DUcKLINGs
Success Achieved by Feeding Fowls All They Can Eat Until Fowls
 Are Ten Weeks Old.

Too many small duck growers make little or no profit from their years la- Dor, simply because they are ignorant of the proper time to market their ducklings Success comes only by feeding the ducks all they can eat from the time they are matched until they are ten weeks old and then send. ing them right away to market.
 If the ducklings are matched early. so the top prices may be secured. they can be sold when nine weeks old. But never keep ducklings that are to be marketed longer than P weeks, no matter how backward they are. After this period the ducklings begin to grow

MAINTAIN FERTILITY OF SOIL
rarmlns VIII Not Last When Every thing Is Taken From Land and
 Nothing Returned to 1t.

The only economical way to nrod,ce permanent agriculture is to raise ani- mais' feed them on the farm and re- turn most of the fertility contained in the Ieed to the land in barnyard ma nure. Even then it will be necessary Tn time to use acid phosphate and not asn 10 replace the potassium and phosphate, as barnyard manure does no. contain enough of these compounds .o keep up the soil indefinitely. Farm ing will not last when everything is taken from the soil and nothing TO. turned. Raise animals for the benefit of soil fertility.

MINERAL MIXTURE FOR HOGS
Charcoal, Sulphur, Lime and Common Salt Assist in Keeping SoWs in
 Good Condition.

A shallow trough containing mix ture of charcoal, sulphur, air-slaked lime and common salt assists in keep ing sows in good condition. This mixture can be made by mixing one bushel of charcoal with two pounds of powdered sulphur, five pounds of air-slaked lime and five pounds of salt. Wood and coal ashes dumped into the hog yard are beneficial and will help to serve the same purpose as the mineral mixture above.

THE INDOOR GARDEN
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuysEN.

By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN
 I imagine that most of my readers are now having their joys and sorrows with the indoor garden-that sole sub stitute for the out-of-door theater oi the good months. But as half loaf ure of having a few flowers in the house during the cold months is worth all the time and trouble that it re quires, and the added consolation is present that one need not be entirely without color and fragrance even though the winds are blowing dirge outside.
 There is hardly real lover of flow. CTS in the world who has not at least tried to make an indoor winter garden some of us cling with more tenacity than others to the expedient, but soon. CT or later it comes to every flower lover as either a hope or disappoint- ment. l am convinced that where the latter state is reached it is through either ignorance or lack of patience.
 The intimate association that one has with the few plants which may be nurtured throughout the winter makes them all the dearer. One be comes better acquainted with them. They become actually members of the family, and they take on the character of children as they are given more and more the sort of solicitous care that mother might be expected to be stow upon an invalid child.
 Light, moisture, warmth, fresh air and protection from insects are the prime essentials of the winter garden. Most Towering plants ought to have the full sun for at least part of the day. A number of the foliage plants will do very we'll without the direct rays, if there be plenty of light.
 The heat in the room where plants are to be kept must be under control degrees may be maintained overnight. Even where it is only possible to main tain 40 degrees of heat most of the or dinary house plants can be kept, if they can be protected during especially cold weather from frost striking through the windows.
 One often finds it possible to cut of bay window, or other like window space, so that it may be sheltered by screens or curtains running well up to the ceiling. Thus the particular part of the room may be kept warmer at night and in an atmospheric state bet ter suited to the plants.
 Generally speaking, the question of proper moisture is the most neglected feature of the winter garden problem It is a happy sequel that the prob. lem is easily regulated. The greatest trouble is to know just what the plants require. Moisture in the air is just as essential as moisture on the soil Steam heat and the improved meth ods for supplying winter comfort to people, takes the vitalizing element out of the air. It can be remedied by placing vessels of water on radiators or near stoves where plants are kept in the room. The evaporation of the water attends to this necessary detail quite well.
 In providing moisture for the soil it

DON'T CROWD LITTLE CHICKS
Endeavor to Keep Young Fowls m Small Flocks-Bed All Corners

suzer, Alaska Oct 1st 1916. To the General Pubic-
 At a meeting held in our hall June 9th 1916, all members being present a motion made sec onded unanimously carried to give Senator Charles suzer, of the Alaska Legislature, our entire sup port for Delegate to Congress.
 Mr. sulzor has been resident here for the past fourteen years Until the last year he gener- al manager the Alaska Industrial Company but since last year he operated the mines himself as lessee. During all these fourteen years he has proved himself a true friend of Labor
 He gave the eightbour day of his free will in 1902 upon starting operations in Alaska, and this was long before anyone had the rule in Alaska. He has always paid the highest wages in this District given everybody a deal and treat ed everybody as a man. There is not man who ever worked in Senator sulzers camp who will not speak of him in the highest terms and know from long observation that he has the qualifications to ably represent in Congress.
 The foregoing are only of the main facts of Mir. Sulzers character which have endeared him to the workers so we wish you to rally to his sup port and leave no in the for his election for Delegate to Congress from Alaska.
 With best wishes to you, remain
 Very truly yours.

 The why's and wherefores of the sale are best told in their words, which are as follows:
 Just as our forefathers fought for liberty so will this store fight for liberty in running its business without the advice of competitors. We believe in freedom of action at all times, and do not approve Of combinations or agreements between merchants at the public's expense We have given this matter due con sideration and are prepared for the consequences, knowing that the pub lie is behind us in this movement for lower prices

 Lately, however. the shirts are b, ,inl utilized in another way For a mum Der of the young ladies of the town, realizing their possibilities, have purchased sport shirts and converted them into middy blouses. This they do by cutting off ths lower portion of the shirt and put ting in a drawstring.

 that but few people on the Outside who read about Alaska believe what they read. That is they are doubtful concerning what climate to expect and the convent enoes they will find in Alaska towns. despite the fact that they have either been told all about the ter riff ,Fh to from the pen of some experienced writer Therefore they come pre-. pared to combat the rigOrs of d climate where ice and snow per petually abound, insofar as the clothing they wear is concerned, and they also expect to leave the comforts ot civilization behind them, once they leave the steamer which has brought them to some Alaskan port
 good idea of what Outsiders think about facilities for living here came to Fairbanks recently in a letter to local hotel man T." letter was from the director of a tour who is bringing a crowd of tourists in And in his letter he asks that separate quarters En pro yided for his party in order that said party will not have to roa4 with the common herd. Which means that he thinks that Fairbanks hotels are nothing more than second or third class roadhouses, where no separate rooms or accommoj" tions are provided. For he evident ly little knows that he is coming to city with all oi the modern ConVeniences.

 And despite the fact that the cheechacOes say in a sarcastic tone of voice that they have been in formed that natural conditions here have all been most unusual for the past several months, evidently being of the opinion that such cOrt ditiOns as they have seen exist all the time, it can be said in all sin cerity that the mosquitoes this year are thicker than ever before Tn town.
