The discharge from these ball mills. after having water added. will be classified. and all the coarse material will pass over rough!ng tables and as much value as possible he concentrated out. This coarse material will then be given second or final crushing in twelve six by twcive-inCh tube mills. and from this point on the operation is simply one of concen- tration. There will he. of course. the separation Of the Ealcna ConCen- trates from the iron concentrates. and the iron concentrates will be re treated before being finally discharg- ed as a waste product.
 Excellent progress is being made on the mill construction and il is lIop'I Ah' p!dlll " III bt III by March l. 1917. About 55.OO0 cu- bic yards of solid rock have been eXCavated. in order to make suit able foundation. and the concrete re- quired will amount to about l5.OOO yards.
 The power for mine and mill is to be supplied by a Stcam-electriC power plant located on the beach. The power plant will consist of two G.000,kilOwat: turhoGcnerators, one of which will he standby, and of sufficient boilers to generate the necessary power. The power plant will be of steel and concrete and absolutely fircproOf. In the base ment of this power plant will be located the pump. which will sup ply the mill with necessary water. and which will also have a conncc- tion to supply thr City of Juneau with water for fire protection pur- poses.
 Oil will be storcI in two 51.0aH- barrel tanks. which will be loraicd on the high ground just above lower Franklin Street

aittina on q Tack.

A thing Is tragic or humorous ac-
cording to the point Of view. The
man who sits on tack does not share
the onlookers' amusement. In fact, he
is not only pained at his own misfor-
tune, but he is panied because he oc-
casioned some one else to find a de-
gree Of pleasure In his unseemly plight.
Now, it is perfectly safe to make this
positive statement in this connection
the person who witnessed the others
unfortunate encounter with the tack
never deliberately sits on the same
tack himself. Indeed, he is particu-
larly cautious about sitting down any
where soon thereafter without looking
for tack.
Nor is this an indictment Of tacks.
Tacks serve q very real and useful
purpose in this world, but they have
their place, which is not in localities
where they may be sat upon.-William

Natural Curiosity.

Joe had been working in Baltimore.
On the day before Christmas he re-
ceived his pay and planned to go home
to Washington. but first he started out
to buy presents for all his family. He
did this with more generosity than
foresight. and when evening came he
found himself at the railway station
loaded with bundles. but with no mon.
ey for his fare to Washington.
Somehow he got through the gate
and approached the conductor. He
laid the case before him and ended
with plea that he might ride to

warmed by the spirit of the season.

So Joe climbed on the platform of
the car next to the engine. 1t was a
cold night, and it was on road where
the engine takes up water from track

When the train reached Washington
the conductor saw Joe approaching

bundles and all. He came up to the
conductor and said: II sure does thank

Some Geographical Doubles.

Accidental doubles Of geography are
very curious. There are the two total
ly unconnected Galicias, the one In
Austria Hungary and the one in Spain.
As to the Carpathians, the doubling
occurs between the ancient and the
modern aliases. On the map Of the
ancients we find people named Carpi
In the north of what is now Hungary
and north Of them the Carpatus noun
tains. But "Carpathian" in Vergil,
Horace and Ovid means something
quite different. The Carpathian sea
was the sea between Rhodes and
Crete, from the island Of Carpathus,
now Scarpanto; and the "Carpathian
old man" was Proteus, who lived and
no doubt practiced his quick change
tricks there.-London Spectator.

early lambs should be weaned now,
and the cornfleld makes conven-
lent place to turn them. Some care
must be exercised In getting them used
to the new feed, and 1t would be better
to turn them in only an hour or 80 at
time at first, lengthening the time
until there is no further dancer.
A Shawnee county farmer having q
small flock told us last summer that
his cornfelds that season were the
wonder Of passcrsby. says the Kan
sas Farmer. They could not under
stand how he had kept his corn 50
clean in so wet year. His lambs did
the work, and they not only l:ept the
fields clean of grass and weeds, but
made some splendid gains.
One should not get the idea that
sheep are never to be fed anything
but weeds. II they are considered
only as scavengers they probably will
not be as successfully kept as II they
are given fair chance with other
farm animals. No other animals. how
ever, will eat so many different kinds
Of weeds, and lambs are the on1y AMI
mails that can be turned into a corn
field without doing damage to the crop.
Lambs can also be used to harvest the
waste in stubble fields and along road
sides.
There is no more convenient source
Of fresh meat on the farm in the sum
mer season than the lamb. They fur
nish two crops-both wool and meat.
Some think sheep are subject to numer-
GUS diseases, but packing house sta
tistics show that the percentage Of
sheep condemned Is less than that OF
any other animals.
Thirty or forty ewes can easily be
kept on the average farm without
having to reduce the other stock. We
know of such flock where this years
wool brought $131. The owner Of the
flock insists that his sheep have never
cost a cent. Everything they have-
produced has been clear profit.

WOUNDS ON ANIMALS.
Surgical Treatment For earbsd Wire
and Other Cuts.

Surgical Treatment For earbsd Wire
and Other Cuts.
All barb wire cuts deserve immedl-
ate attention and should be carefully
cared for until healed, according to r.
Il. Dykstra, professor Of veterinary
surgery In the Kansas State Agrlcul-
tural college.
The first thing to do after an animal
Is cut by barb wire is to control the
bleeding. If the cut is on a limb q
bandage should be tightly applied be-
tween the wound and the heart so as
to check the outflow of the blood. If
the wound is only slight a layer Of
cotton should be applied and held firm
ly against 1t by bandage.
After the bleeding has been checked
the next thing to do is to carefully
cleanse the wound with some anti
septic. such as u 2 per cent solution
Of carbolic acid and water. II there
are any loose shreds Of tissue or skin
they should be cut of with scissors.
If the wound is small and superficial
1t should be busted with a veterinary
busting powder ana layer or cotton
applied and held firmly against the
wound with bandage, points out
Professor Dykstra. This treatment
should be repeated at least once day
until the wound fs healed enough 90
that It can be left exposed to the air
without danger Of being contaminated
or easily broken open. 4.
II It is a larger or deeper wound, In
addition to the foregoing treatments.
the edges Of the wound should be
drawn together by stitching. Ia stitch
ing the lower part Of the wound should
be left open so that the wound secre-
tons and pus will find q ready exit
II the wound is deep one or in tho
vicinity Of Joint 1t is serious. and q
reliable graduate veterinarian should
Immediately be consulted.
