The bluejacket had been in the bat

CUTTING HAIRS FROM UDDER
From Sanitary Standpoint and Com.
fort to Cow While Being MIXED,
Filaments Are Detrimental.

1t Is not at all uncommon among
dairy cows to fini the udder covered
with thick growth of long hair, which
may be of s0rf- protection to the udder
in some RESPECTS, but from a sanitary
standpoint and comfort to the COW
while she is being MIXED, these hairs
are detrimental. Under the usual farm
conditions this growth of hair is com
monty covered with filth, and even in
well-kept diaries this hair, unless kept
well clipped, will collect more or less
dirt and trash.
In many cases, too, these hairs win
persist in falling into the milk pail.
To prevent occurrences such as these
the udder should be clipped closely at
least twice each year, and in this way
prevent the accumulation of filth.

practically maintained herself and pro-
duced milk upon succulent feed; she
will soon be returned to the barn where
she will spend the greater part of each
day. 1t should be the aim of every
keeper to see to it that his cows are
housed as comfortably as possible and
provided with goodly quantity and
variety of palatable feed that will nour-
ish her abundantly and help her pro-
duce an even flow of milk.
The right kind of COW will repay
with interest every cent invested for
her comfort-for warmth, light venti-
lation, and feed. If she is not COM
fOrtabiy housed her returns will be
cut down in proportion to her discom-
fort.

Cut Trees by Exploding Dynamite.

Instead of an ak and saw to remove
the tops of trees that are to be used
as masts in logging operations, dyna-
mite is used to shoot off the tops.
After the branches have been removed.
a rigger climbs the tree, with set Of
irons, to the point where it is neces-
sary to cut off the top. Here the trunk
is usually about II inches In dame
ter. The rigger ties a string of dyna-
mite cartridges, fastened end to end
like sausages, around the trunk at this
point, inserts blasting cap with about
20 feet of fuse in one of these sticks,
lights the end Of the fuse, and de-
sends before the explosion takes
place. The tree top pumps into the
air with the explosion and the trunk
is left ready for attaching the rigging
for dragging in and loading the logs.

FILTHY HABIT OF MIXERS
Practice of Wetting Hands With Milk
Is Liable to Cause Cows Teats
to Chap in Winter.

Mixers should be allowed to milk
only with dry hands. The practice Of
wetting the hands with milk is a filthy
habit and is liable to cause the cows
teats to chap in the winter time.
Milking should be done quickly and
thoroughly, with no violent jerking of
the teats. After each COW is MIXED
the milk should be removed immediate
ly to the milkhouse.

SEASON DRAWS TO END

Baseball tomorrow, weather per hitting. The game will be played at Treadwen and will be between .Treadwel and Juneau. according to the announcement of both Pat Scott and Tom Macdonald It is
 very probable that no regular ser ies of games will be arranged for the balance of this season as the baseball weather is about over.
 Last night Tom MacDonald sport manager of Treadwel. stated Chat it is useless to think of a regular arranged series for any number of games at this late date
 "rhe Treadwell team is ready to play ball at any time that the
 weather permits, and against any team that can arrange to go against us. as the conditions warrant" Mir Macdonald said. "There had been talk of regular series of games
 between Treadwen. Juneau and Douglas. and also Perseverance and Thane if they wished to enter A of the managers was call- ed and some of them failed to ap- pear. SO nothing in that line could be worked out.
 Now that the season is drawing to a close, it is the opinion Of those concerned, and the Juneau players concur with me in the statement, that no series should be scheduled, but games should be played as the weather conditions warrant
 This year we have had some purely amateur sport. with sever al teams in the field and the sport has been good. Next year will see great baseball season on the channel without a doubt. The work at Thane is getting in such shape now that an excellent team can be maintained from among the employ ees of that company. Perseverance can have a good team in the field. The managements of their teams can get together early in the year and arrange for a definite schedule of games. That plan was proposed this year but the time was moi quite ripe. Next year we will be ready for sort of baseball and some ratumg good sport will be the re- suit"

 When seen this morning Mir. Dye stated that he had received no word with the exception that he has been appointed chief clerk.

The site for the Northwest station has not been designated yet by the Secretary. IT the material is not purchased in time to be sent to Fairbanks before the close Of navi- gation. the station cannot be es- tablished until next year. as it could not be taken over the trail.
