STACKER TAKEN
 INTO CUSTODY

From Nenana it is learned that another draft dodger had been taken into custody and was bound over to the grand jury, his bonds being fix ed in the sum of $2000.
 Henry M. Chamberlin. the man in question. was for long time resi- dent of the Tolovana country. When the call for registration came he went to the upper section of the Panama. Remaining there for some time re returned to the Panama val ley and located at Nenana Recent ly he was taken into custody on the charge of violating the game laws and shortly after his release was again arrested and charged with be- ing stacker.
 Chamberlin at the time of regis tration stated that he was over the required age. Information being re- quested from the place of his birth, Wichita, Kansas, revealed the fact that he was born in 1889. He was therefore of age at the time of registration. His case will be con sidered at the next session of the grand jury.

HOMEGROWN PROTEIN FEEDS
Stockmen Should Plan to Produce an
Adequate Supply of Leguminous
Crops This Year.

ClOvers, alfalfa, soy beans, cowpeas
and vetches can be profitably produced
on every live stock farm In the country
and 1t is of great Importance that an
adequate supply be grown this year
to furnish feed for live stock. These
legumlnOus crops are comparatively
rich in protein. The recent prices Of
feeds which are rich in protein have
been so high as to prey vitality on the
net profits which otherwise would have
accrued to the producers of live stock.

able to raise elOvers, vetch or alfalfa

REDUCTION OF FIRE LOSSES
Lightning Does Damage In United

CAPONIzE MALES
FOR Choice FOOD
One Way Of Answering Call for
Greatly Increased Supply of
4. Poultry and Meats.
SERR ww
HAS COMMENTED DISPOSITION
Breeds Best Adapted for Purpose Are
Plymouth Rock, Brahma, Cochin,
Cornish, Lanushan and Wyan-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Caponizlng the surplus eockerels Is
one way of answering the call made by
the United States department of agri-
culture for greatly increased produc-
ton Of poultry and meat. Capons, the
name applied to unsexed male birds,
are to the poultry dealer what fat
steers are to the beef packer-the
source Of the choicest food product of
their kind. Like the steer the capon
has contented disposition. 1t devel-
ops more uniformly than the cockerels,
and, as it fattens more readily, is larger
at the same age. This coupled with the
fact that the flesh of capons retains the
softness and tenderness of young birds
and is, therefore, of superior quality,
causes them to command a better price
on the market.
Since capons must be held and
grown until winter they take up some
room which might be used to better
advantage for laying hens. In such
cases 1t may be advisable to fatten
the surplus cockerels and sell them as
broilers. Another consideration is
the local market, which must show the
demand for capons.
Best Breeds to caponize.
Large capons bring the best prices,
and It seldom pays to caponIze males
of the small breeds, such as Leghorns.
Breeds best adapted for this purpose
are the Plymouth Rock, Brahma, Co
chin, Cornish, Langshan, and Wyan-
dotte.
Cockerels should be caponized as
soon as they are large enough for the
operation to be performed easily, usu-
ally when they weigh from IL to pa
pounds, or when they are from two
to four months old. Cockerels can be
.caponlzed when larger and older than
this, but at such time there is more
danger of loss Of blood, and extreme
care must be exercised to prevent the
birds from bleeding to death. Capon-
izing is usually done in June, July and
August.
Cockerels to be operated upon must
be confined and given no feed or wa
ter for "a to SO hours. This serves to
empty the intestines and enables the

MARKETING BUTTER AND
CHEESE BY PARCEL POST

Creameries, diaries and individual
farms, In various instances which
have been authenticated by the bureau
of markets of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, have devel-
oped successful system Of parcel
post marketing for butter and cheese.
The conclusion reached by specialists
of the department as result Of a
number Of. experimental shipments is
that well-made butter, thoroughly
chilled before shipping. may be mar
keted successfully by parcel post
when packed In a suitable container
and where extremely high tempera-
lures are not encountered. shipments

Quently are unsatisfactory.
The bureau of markets received asa
shipments Of butter, coming distances
OF from 1877 to $50 miles. during vari-
Gus months OF the year. OF these
shipments 440, or 900 per cent, were
received in satisfactory condition The
bureau reshipped this butter to yari-
Gus state experiment stations and the
shipments arrived In good condition
where the temperature and distance
were not too great. In general, ship
ments from Washington were success
fur when forwarded as far north as
Maine and as far west as Michigan
and Indiana. Shipments into the
South were successful shorter dis
tances.

wce on methods which have been
found advantageous. The bulletin
urges that every care and precaution
be exercised in making the butter and
preparing 1t for shipment. The ship
ping container should properly pro-
tect the butter, and packages should
be posted as near to mail time as
possible in order to obtain delivery In
the quickest practicable time.
The postal regulations provide that
when butter is so packed or wrapped
as to prevent damage to other mail

CONSUMPTION OF CORN CROP
Urgent Reason for Increasing Produo
ton ls Absolute Need Of More
Grain for Food.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.)
approximately So per cent Of the
corn crop OF the United States is con-
sumed upon the farm. One and one.
half to PA per cent is exported and
the remainder Is used In manufacture
or otherwise consumed. During the
last ten years the demand for corn has
increased and at times the supply has
been inadequate to meet 1t. This has
led to the importation of corn from
Argentina. While the amount import
ed has reached In some years total
Of something more than 100000
bushels, 1t is so small In comparison
with the production In this country
that corn imports are not an important
factor In the corn trade.
However, this Importation does call
attention to the need Of increasing the
corn production in this country. But
a much more urgent reason for In
creasing production Is the absolute
need of more food grains In the pres
ent world crisis. In 1917 the acreage
planted to corn was the largest in the
history of the country, nearly 10000.
600 acres. and exceeding the 1915 plant
ing by about Is per cent. The produc.
ton is estimated at S,159, 494 900 bush
els, the largest crop ever harvested.
There seems to be every reason to be-
lieve that our own welfare and that Of
the allies In the worlds war, as well
as Of neutral nations, win make de-
sirable an even greater production Of
corn In 1918 on an acreage approx
mately equal to that planted in 1917.
