Naming Alaska.

The name Alaska is an English cor
ruption of peryersion of Alayeksa, as
it was called by the aboriginal inhab-
itants of the Aleutian islands, lying
to the westward, observes a geograph-
ical magazine. When the Russians
first came to one of the Aleutian
islands, they were told that a vast
country lay to the eastward, and that
its name was Alayeksa. The AleUts
called their own island Nagun Alay-
eksa, meaning the land lying near
Alayeksa. BY a process of Russian
izing and Anglicizing Alayeksa became
Alaska, and Nagun-Alayeksa became
Unalaska. The original Aleutian word
Alayeksa meant the great country
as the inhabitants of scattered islands
would naturally consider a vast con-
tinental region of varied resources and
beautiful scenery as Alayeksa or Alas
ka has since proved to be.

AS the supply Of breeding sows was
short last fall the breeding ranks will
have to be filled to q considerable ex-
tent with gifts from the feed lots.
These gifts will not produce quite so
large litters as mature sows may be
expected to produce. Therefore, farm
ers using gifts should breed slightly
above the prescribed quotas In order
to insure the requisite increase.
Program Outlined.
Attention should be given to the fact
that this program has been carefully
worked out according to the known re-
quirements for 1918. II 1t is met in
every detail, these requirements will
be fulfilled. If the farmer breeders of
the various states do not reach the
quotas set forth for them, more acute
shortage of pork products will result
than now prevails, extremely high
prices for hams, bacon, and lard will
prevail and only few will benefit,
the consumer suffering from extremely
high prices and shortage Of neces-
sary animal fats. On the other hand,
If the program Is carried out, market
Is provided for about one-third Of the
1917 corn crop, the demands on the
country for pork products can be met
without strain, prices to the producer
will be remunerative, and those paid
by the consumer should be reasonable.

GREEN MANUREs MAKE HUMUS
cowpeas, Velvet Beans, Glover, Buck
wheat and Sorghum Are Good
Crops for Purpose.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
It has been found beneficial to plow
under green crops on depleted soils
or soils deficient In humus. Among
the best crops for this purpose may
be named cowpeas, velvet beans, clo-
yer, buckwheat, and sorghum. Ordi-
narily the crops should be allowed to
reach maturity before turning under.
It is not a good practice to turn under
heavy green crop Immediately be-
fore planting another crop, especially
small grain.
A cover crop is usually sown late in
the season, after the main crop is out
of the way. Oats, rye and crimson clo-
YER are most commonly used for this
purpose. They are sown In the cotton
or corn at the time of the last working
and make some growth during the au-
tumn and early spring. They serve
the double purpose Of adding humus
and of preventing soil erosion. The
cover crop should be plowed under at
least two weeks before the time for
planting the next crop, Green-manure
crops are helpful in improving the me-
chanlcal condition and rendering avail
able the plant food already In the soil
It Is hoped that the value of farm
manures has been made sufficiently
evident and that more farmers will
give attention to the saving Of them

vanced from $1s to $1O8, or as produc-
tion trebled income above feed cost
increased six times. If no expenses
except the cost Of feed are considered,
the COW that produced 450 pounds of
butterfat was as profitable as n cows
Of the first group, whose average pro-
duction was 100 pounds. If labor and
miscellaneous expenses also could be
taken into consideration the results
would be much more striking.
A further study of the records
showed that the cost Of roughage was
about the same for all groups, but that
the total cost Of feed was somewhat
greater for the more productive cows.
The increased profit should therefore
be credited in part to better feeding,
but apparently it was more largely
due to better cows. The present high
cost of feed will eliminate the low
producing COW, or it must eventually
eliminate the dairyman who keeps
such cows. More cows are needed,
but better cows are needed more. Ger
tainly it pays to keep good cows and
to feed them well.

The United States department Of ag-
riculture urges every farmer to do his
personal share toward increasing pork
production In 1918 by 15 per cent
throughout the United States. A re-
port Of the bureau Of crop estimates
shows that there is decrease In the
number Of hogs In the United States
In 1917 as compared to 1915. Another
report, by the same authority, shows
there is a marked increase In the corn
crop of 1917 as compared to that of
1915, amounting to nearly "a per cent.
There is also an increase in the crop
Of oats, barley and rye. To increase
the production of live stock, especially
hogs, therefore, is clearly the duty Of
American farmers to themselves and
to the nation.
Pork to Meet Demands.
OF q normal corn crop, rs to 80 per
cent is fed. When the crop is greatly
Increased above normal, still greater
proportion must be fed. In view Of
this situation the United States depart
ment of agriculture has worked out
program asking for an increase of 15
per cent In pork production to meet the
demands of the country for domestic
consumption and for export require
ments.

HOW TO MAKE COMPOST HEAP
Not Usually Economical Where Gen.
eral Farming Is Practleed-Too
Much Work Required.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Composing manure Is not usually
economical where general farming is
done. 1t requires too much labor; be-
sides, the manure will ordinarily give
better results when scattered directly
on the ground and plowed or narrowed
in. 1t is advised only where coarse ma
terials need to be put in better condi-
ton. 1t is also advisable for truckers
and gardeners.
By the compost heap the farmer Is
able to multiply his available manure
MANIFOLD. He should remember that
anything of vegetable or animal origin
is valuable fertilizer If put In proper
condition. The compost heap is one
means Of doing this. One ton Of leaves
contains Is pounds Of nitrogen, 81
pounds of phosphoric acid, and Q
pounds of potash.
In actual practice 1t is safe to as
sumo that half Of their values are
available; but 1t is only after under
going decomposition that these values
are available.

STRIVE FOR STRONG CALVES
Six Weeks Before Parturition Cow
Should Be Turned Dry-Alm to
Prevent White Scours.

The care Of the calf should start
about six weeks before parturition, by
turning the cow dry and enabling her
to rest and put on flesh. If the cow
is not turned dry, weak calves will
generally be the result. Ordinarily
a calf will be nursing In less than an
hour after birth-extra strong calves
in much less time. The herdsman or
attendant should disinfect the navel
of the calf at once in order to prevent
white scours. A solution Of carbolic
acid or tincture of iodine will be very
effective.

BARREL TYPE OF CHURN BEST
Found by Dairy Specialists to Be Most
satisfactory-seaId Prepara-
tory to Churning.

The barrel type Of churn has been
found by dairy specialists to be one
of the most satisfactory churns. The
dasher or plunger type requires
somewhat greater expenditure Of la
hor. Earthenware churns are unde-
sirable unless perfectly glazed. since.
If pores are exposed, they absorb milk
and cream which later decay. The
churns with mechanical devices inside
them are difficult to clean and some
times injure the body of the butter.
The churn should be scalded prepara-
tory to churning. but should be cooled
with water before the cream is placed
inside.
