C0KE
 WILL SOLVE THE
 FUEL SHORTAGE

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo, Sept. 13-Seventy per cent more coke than ever before will be available this year to helD solve the fuel shortage. This supply will be further increased by the development Of tar. coke oven gas and other by-produCts newly dignifed in wartime as available fuels. These were some new facts presented to the American Institute of Mining tngi- neers at the recent session here, Tn the effort being made to fill some of the country's needs.
 The pulverizing of coal to attain the greatest efficiency was advocated be- fore the mining engineers. Some ot the advantages of pulverized coal were stated as follows: The utiliza- ton of every heat unit in the coal, the reduction of labor for handling coal, the maintenance of a constant temperature in the furnace.
 The mining engineers were also told that coal mining in the state Of Washington had proven less profit able in recent years because of the extensive use of fuel oil. It was pre- dicted that higher prices for fuel oil would increase the mining of coal on this part of the western coast.

Delegate Charles A. Sulzer opened his campaign for reelection at ket' chikan on September 4. when he dis Cussed the issues of the day. explained told of the desire of the administra- tion to aid in the development of Alaska before an appreciative audi. encc which packed the hall.
 Tine delegate read letters from cab inet members and heads of various departments of the government testi- l lying to the earnest work of the Alaska delegate in behalf of his con, stituents.
 Mir. Sulzer left for his home at Sul- ger the following day. and from there he expected to go to Juneau, prob ably holding meetings at Wrangell and Petersburg en route.
 Morrissey Tells of Delegates Work
 On his return trip to the North | Charles A. Sulzer, Alaska's delegate l in congress, was accompanied by his secretary, Edward C. Morrissey, who came through directly to Juneau and VEo will remain at the capital for | some weeks
 "Mr Sulzcr had hoped to get away for the North several weeks earlier" said Mir. Morrissey, but he felt that the interests of the territory de mandcd his presence in Washington until after he secured favorable re port on the bill abolishing the eighty rod strip between the homesteads on navigable waters. and until similar action was secured on the bill per hitting agricultural entries on coal lands Both of these objeCtives were obtained before the delegate left Washington, and it is only Il matter Of time until the bills will be enacted into law, as they have the unanimous indorscment of the committee, and also of the departments
 Before deciding to make the trip to Alaska MT. Sulzer consulted with the administration leaders in con gress He was advised that the only matters that would be considered were the man.power bill, which had plready passed the house. and the revenue bill, after which recess would be taken. in all likelihood, until after election day He was also given probability of another adjournment of congress until after the war, and was advised that he could be spared bet ter at this time to visit Alaska than at a later date.
 50. in view of the fact that 1t was not likely that there would be any ad' jcurnment, and that 1t would be i'm possible to learn fully the needs of the territory at a range of 5000 miles or more, and believing 1t his duty to appear before the people in person to render an accounting and to refute the maliciously false statements and propaganda being spread by his po- litical opponents, the delegate came North

Wickersham had actually been sworn in. Such statements were absolutely false. The elections com mittcc has made no report; there Is no knowing when report viii be made. nor what it will be when made. And another fact is that regardless of any report that may be made the contest will not be settled until the whole house of representatives votes on 1t. In the meantime MT. SulZer is delegate. has been working hard and is. still working hard in the interests of the territory.
 "Mr Wickersham and his friends have caused to be circulated through out Alaska, and particularly along the Yukon, posters setting forth that he has been seated as delegate. am in formed MT Sulzer will be able to show the falsehood of those reports, as he will be able to disprove many other misstatements and propaganda hurtful to the territory which has been going forth from the opposition camps for months
 Accomplishments in Office
 Ever since he took office MT Sul- ger has been working night and day for the interests of Alaska. Seldom has there been day in which his office was not open from 9 o'clock in the morning until II o'clock at night and with these strenuous efforts he has been able to accomplish great deal for the territory. He will arrive in Juneau within a few days and believe the report Of his accomplish nlents will be such as to prove to terests to send him back to congress for another term to carry on the work which has been so well started. and to push through successfully those measures which he initiated and which have been under consideration by congress for months"

The size of a farmers patriot.
ism as well as that of his pocket
book. is going to be determined
largely by the number of hogs he
raises both for home consumption
and for market.
The county is fairly we'll stock
ed with brood sows of good quail
ity. feed is abundant. fencing wire
is comparatively cheap. hog pro-
ducts are scarce and consequent
ly high. All this, however. will
not guarantee success to the hog
raiser unless he takes care of the
parasites and diseases which are
responsible for the annual loss of
so many hogs. Two parasites.
worms and lice. and one micro
organic disease. cholera. are re-
sponsible for practically all the
loss. All of these can be easily
controlled by the farmer. Each
farmer should appoint himself as
a committee of one to free his
hogs of these parasites and to
ward off this disease.
A few simple suggestions are
given below, which, If carried
out. will put our hog raising op-
erations on q safer and more
profitable basis:
For worms. give hogs one tea
spoonful turpentine for every 50
pounds three mornings in sue
cession. follow this on the fourth
morning with q teaspoonful Of
salts for every hundred pounda
It is best to separate the large
hogs from the small ones 50 that
some will not get an overdose.
The hogs should be taken off feed
about "a hours before treatment
and given only about half feed
during treatment.
For lice. take four pieces of *
10 about ten feet long and make
a bottomless box under a shed
where the hogs can get to it; fill
this box with sand to within two
inches of the top and saturate
with crude oil. If the pigs are
allowed to wallow in this you
will have no more trouble with
lice. There are also q number of
hog medicines and hog oilers on
the market that will do away
with these parasites.
So far as is known, there is no
cure for cholera, but it can be
prevented by vaccination. About
weaving time seems to be the
best age at which TO vaccinate
pigs, it costs less then. gives q
