"JIM HILLS" EXPERIENCES
 MUSHINC THROUGH ALASKA

In the April number of the Wells Fargo Messenger, a publication conducted by the great express company is an article entitled 'Alaska-A Few "Reminiscences" by J. w.. Hill MT. Hill is superintendent for the Wells-Fargo Express Company of the Ore gon, Puget Sound and Alasl,a-l ukon dtVl- sion, with headquarters in Seattle and Is well and favorably known throughout the territory as "Jim Hill" He tells in most interesting mannpr of his first winter trip in Alaska, when in company with two other officers of the Alaska Commercial Company, he left St. Michael on December 27, 1900, with Dawson as his destination, He relates many incidents of the trip which was Of course, made with dog teams, and says:
 It has been said that a man will soon get inured to work such as was our daily routine Dent for moment believe 1t. I was thirty days or more on that trip before my muscles were in condition so that when I would attempt to get up Tn the morning I could do so without 1t belng an effort as from the exposure and hard work of snowshoeng I ached in every bone and muscle of my body. My companions were old, experienced and hardened 'mushers' so aside from the cold they did not suffer"
 Mr. Hill tells of having been lost on the trail, being separated from his companions, and of narrow escape from being shot in mistake for wolf, and of the final arrival in Dawson, which was reached on March 20, after having covered the twelve hundred odd miles in forty-three travelling days, an average of almost thirty miles per day, which was considered good travel, weather and conditions of the trails taken into con sideration"
 The article is illustrated with interesting Alaska scenes among them being one of the ] company's headquarters at Ruby.

INCREASE FLOCK OF LAYERS
Well to See That Fowls Are Worth
Keeping-Poor Hens Are Liabil-
ity-Keep an Account.

The average farmer might find 1t
desirable to increase the size of the
flock of hens. While most farmers
have little time to devote to poultry
raising yet their families may attend
to the fowls and see that they are
we'll cared for and protected.
The usual "advice" to poultry rails
ers to begin with few hens is sound.
But on most farms the women and
girls have had the responsibility of
the flock for years and most Of them
could well afford to increase the num-
Der of laying hens.
Range is very important for poul.
try. But range alone is not enough.
The fowls must have feed and shelter
when they need them.
When one is about to increase the
number of hens it is well to see that
those kept are worth keeping. Poor
hens are not an asset; they are gen.
orally liability.
1t may not be possible to tell when
hens are worth keeping and when they
should be sold. In fact this will be
impossible unless records are kept.
But no chances should be taken on
very old hens or hens that Lave never
shown their worth as layers. 1t will
be safer to keep pullets.
