FAIRBANKS WILL .
 GET BIG BRIDGE

John Zug, superintendent of the Alaska Road commissions opera tions in the Fairbanks disrtict, re- turned to valdez on the steamer Ad miral Evans and is now hard at work in the office of the commis- sion hele. He reports that he spent most of his vacation in the states at his old home near Washington, D. C., and that he frequently met Colonel Richardson !n the capital.
 MT. Zug reports that the big bridge across the Cinema slough to connect Fairbanks with Garden Is land will be constructed during the coming summer if the material can be landed during the early part of tue season. The commission has taken over the old bridge from the municipality of Fairbanks and in the event that the new bridge Is not completed before the high water carries the old bridge away, as is the case each summer, a ferry will be operated. The bids for the struc turaI steel for the bridge will be opened at Seattle and Pittsburg on February l5. The bridge will have a span of 800 feet and will rest on concrete abutments, and is estimat- ed to cost $25,OOO.
 Before going to interior Alaska MT. Zug will make a trip to Southeastern Alaska and expects to reach Fairbanks before the breakup. From Fairbanks he will make trips 70 ToIovaua, Koyukuk and possibly

 A hen that pecks at you when you go to feed her and aies of the nest fl you attempt to touch her Is no good, for the chances are that she may break one or more of her eggs, and when the chickens are struggling into the world she will trample some to death
 'I am always careful to select as breeders hens that have plenty of 6uf and feathers, as then the eggs and chickens are sure to be kept nice and warm.

Even If she does not do either of these things her natural vitality will become So lowered by the irritation that her bodily bent win be reduced too much to allow her to keep the eggs properly warm.
 There is another point: II the hen is infested with vermin the chiekenf will become infested, too, and only tbe strongest will survive. Even these w1ll grow more slowly than they should and will probably be Of inferior quality.
 'I dust the insect powder well over the hen before putting her on the nest and then rub 1t well into the roots Of the feathers, as this is the most likely part for the pests to lodge in-'
