sugar Beets For Dairy Cows.

Sugar 7eets For Dairy Cows.
Sugar beets and mangels tend to In.
crease milk production when fed to
dairy cows, but experiments conducted
at the Ohio experiment station show
that corn silage is far more economical
to feed. Because Of this fact these
dairy experts do not advise the feeding
of beets except for high records where
cost is minor consideration or where
the number Of cows is too small to per-
NIT the use of silo.
Cows fed beets had keen appedtes
and ate more food because Of tho slim
ulating effects of this root crop. After
ten years work the Ohio station has
found that two pounds of dry matter
can be produced in the form Of silage
at less cost than one pound in the form
Of beets. Convenience in feeding II IN
favor of silage.

WOE TO THE KNOCKER.

The position of the knocker is be- coming more and more insecure. He has been forced from town to town, and hamlet to hamlet, until there is nothing left of the original noise but feeble effort. And it is just as well that eternal justice has been meted out to him. He kills more towns. paralyzes more industries and causes more friction in a country than a band of Apaches. His very presence places a blight upon community, and when once established in thriving city. with his hammer operating busily, In connection with other weak-minded helpers, you can see the growth ant prosperity wither at each blast like grass under shelter fumes.
 The knockers days are numbered. His society is summed and his pres ence detested. The Alaskan has come to regard his efforts as self-seeking instead of in the nature of reform, and when he hits town he Is either ignored or starved out.

IN HIS speech at Seward the Del egate stated that "the payment of poll tax brought the funds available from three and a half millions to five millions" Judging by the avidity with which the disciples of that rare disease termed Wickicitis swallow his other statements, they will always go through life with the belief that the citizens of the Territory are paying a poll tax. When Mir. Wickersham ap- peared before the Fish Commission at Washington he made the statement that Alaskans were paying poll tax, and was promptly called down by the chairman of the committee who asked MT. Wickersham if he was not aware that the poll tax had been repealed several years ago. MT. Wickersham covered his retreat by admitting that he didn't know it." This Is an ex- ample of the many statements mad to the voters of the Territory by the Delegate He takes advantage of the ignorance of his hearers by making the most glaring misstatements. If he

Spring.

J. G. Calvin, the well known min ing man who spent some time here this spring, and who had an option on the Berry Morton property near Ella mar, is now engaged in opening up a copper property in Grcundhog Basin. about Is miles from Wrangell. In reference to this project the Wrangell Sentinel says:
 J.G. Calvin of the Bon Alaska Min ing company, arrived from New York Thursday. MT. Calvin will leave in two or .hree days with force of 15 men for the Groundhog basin, where his property is located.
 From the mouth Of Mill Creek, miles from Wrangell, a wagon road will be built to Groundhog basin, & distance of about 10 miles. Work will begin at once on the construction of dock and warehouse at the mouth of Mill creek. The necessary houses will also be built for the men who VIII Uc Ut WOIn thCiC thiS WihtOi Several horses which arrived on the Humboldt Thursday night will v, taken in with the party and used ,o pack supplies over the trail.
 AS soon as the snow clears away in spring the work of laying steel for the railroad from the mouth of Mill creek to the mine will be begun. It may be that a portion of the wagon road w;ll be used as right of way for the railroad. Once the laying Ol steel is begun the railroad will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible in order that shipments o' ore may begin.
 The work done this winter will be chiefly in the nature of preliminary work. It is MT. Galvin's intention to get everything in readiness to rush work in the spring in order that the shipment of ore may begin as early as possible.
 This is the best news that the peo. pie of Wrangell have had for long time. It is the beginning of big things in the much talked of Ground hog Basin which is at last coming into it's own.
