Raising foxes on the Shumagin is- lands. Alaska, can be made a profitable business, and will pay as regular diyi- dends as any commercial enterprise, says Andrew Grosvold, who for the last fifteen years has been gradually build ing up his fox-raising farms until be values bis holdings at more thau S1OO, GOO. Mr. Groswold uses different meth ods from the ordinary fox raiser, as he has unlimited islands at his disposal, and when he wants to increase his pro ductiou he takes another island, stocks it with ten pairs of foxes, hires a watch man and waits for results. Because of the fact that he imported blue foxes to start with, he says that he does not have to worry about feeding the ani- mals, as they are clam eaters, and like the Indians, when the tide is out their table is set. Mr. Grosvold went to Alaska in 1886 as a hunter and trapper. He tried his hand also at fishing and mining, but finally decided that raising blue foxes. Time has proved the wis dom of his plans, for he now has an annual output of about 15O to 200 skins worth from $50 Co 52jO each He also operates a store, and, between this and his foxes, keeps busy Last year, at considerable expense, he imported seven silver gray foxes, and hereafter will devote considerable attention to them. The silver grays are hunters, and rarely eat anything they do not kill themselves. They require special attention, and the corral to hold them cost 5000 to install. The blue foxes, on the other hand, get their living from shell fish aud fish cast up by the sea- On all the islands have selected there are reefs that stretch out into the open water aud form natural hooks Co catch all the drifting fish or seal or whales. Then when the tide is low the foxes set forth to see what the waves have brought. Should there be nothing in the fish or whale line, they immediately set to work picking up shell fish, and thus require nothing but a watchman to keep poachers away.

How to Keep a Clean City

To make a city cleaner and heater aud 10 substitute beauty for ugliness is to enhance the value of both public and private property. As to public property, this work can be easily con- trolled. But the city authorities can be expected to act only on the insist ence of the general public. Unfortuu
 ately, however, no matter how careful a city may be about structures erected on public property, the general effect of street and open places may be spoil ed by ugiuess in surrounding struc- lures and private property. Billboards signs, ugly, garish, and unkempt build iugs, buildings out of repair, untidy yards and vacant lots-all may coun
 teract whatever the city may do to make public property attractive. The only way to keep the city neat and to make it look as though it were really self-respecting is for all citizens to co operate in insisting on private as well as public peetuess and attention to good design.-Kausas City Times.

CONVlCTS TO PLANT COTTON.
They viii Cultivate 1900 Acres of a
Prison Farm.

McAlester, Okla.-Thirteen hundred
acres of the state prison farm will be
planted to cotton this year. All work
except the overseeing of the labor will
be done by prisoners.
The land on which this cotton will be
produced was a few years ago merely
rocky and a waste. Hills rock covered
and eroded by rains and gullies deeply
tut by spring floods surrounded the
concrete walls of the penitentiary.
Hard labor and careful management
have changed the surface to a rolling
well drained seed bed.
Rocks were removed from the sur
face. Gullies were filed up after
drains had been laid. Dams and riprap
were emplaced to hold back the fine
soil carried down by showers.
In the coming year almost the entire
acreage will be devoted to cotton. OF
the land still rocky and unimproved
hog and cattle pastures have been
made. Bermuda grass is spreading
and before many years at the present
rate of development enough beef and
dairy supplies will be produced to feed
the convicts.

During a period covering fifty years
he has killed $50 deer, about 500 coons
and 500 turkeys, besides many foxes,

deer fifty were bucks having horns
with from three to five prongs. Two of
the deer were white, rare specimens,
and one black. The greatest number
he killed in one season was thirty-five.
Practically all his hunting was done
with muzzle loading rifle. He said If
he had had rifle like those in use now
he could have killed several hundred
more deer. He says he has seen four
teen deer in one drove, one of which
had white legs. the white extending up
