Kept running smoothly and evenly
from birth to marketing. When the
pigs are about three weeks old a creep
should be arranged where they can
nave access to feeds away from the
other hogs. The best feed to use at
this time Is shell corn in a self-feeder.
When the pigs are about six weeks old
1t Is generally advisable to place an
other self-feeder In the Enclosure, in
which shorts, middlngs, tankage, or
fish meal are placed. 1t is advisable
not to wean the pigs before they are
ten weeks of age or over. When the
pigs are weaned gradually reduce the
feed Of the sow. This will have a
tendency to dry up the flow of milk
and the pigs will be weaned and
scarcely know it. Give them access

followed they will notice practically
no difference at weaving time and will

1t is more difficult to raise pigs in
the winter than in the summer, due to
the cold weather as we'll as to the fact
that the animals have to be kept in
doors so much of the time. Extreme
variations in temperature are liable to
induce colds and even cause the devel-
opment Of pneumonia. The careful
breeder should practice every precau-
ton to protect his young pig crop
against disease. He should keep plenty
of charcoal before the hogs at all
times and should provide them with
condition powders If necessary. A
charcoal mixture of one bushel Of
charcoal, one bushel of hardwood
ashes, eight pounds of salt, four
pounds of air-slaked lime, four pounds
of sulphur and two pounds of pulver-
lied copperas makes fine mixture Of
mineral matter. The lime, salt and
sulphur should be mixed thoroughly.
and then combined with the charcoal
and ashes. Dissolve the copperas In
one quart of hot water and sprinkle
the solution over the whole mass, mix
ing ii thoroughly.

year for the trappers. However, the difference to the trapper is fully made up by the present large in- crease in prices of furs over last years high markets.
 The Johnson boys. who always sluice up a small amount of gold every summeI, are still prospecting in the upper Panama country in hopes of finding . real paystreak. gold be- ing found on all the numerous fine looking creeks in that district.
 Troubles galore have come to these boys last year. First their brother Albert died at Camp Dodge; one of the other brothers who fought against the Hun in France lost an arm, and a sister and their father were drown ed. the father losing his life trying to rescue his daughter.
 Oldtimers familiar with the upper Tanana believe that, with so many Alaskan returning from the Outside after the war. the coming of the rail road and other things which will make conditions better for the de- velopment of the interior. that vast country will come into its own. Great things are expected to materialize in the upper Panama district in the not distant future.

MUCH ACTIVITY
 AMONG OUTFITS
 ON ST. PATRICK
REGENT ARRIVAL FROM ST. PAT RICK CREEK SAYS EVERY
 THING LOOKS GOOD

George Smith, who made a short trip out to St. Patrick creek yester day reports considerable activity in that section of the district. He be- lieves that this creek will take its place as one of the best producers in a short time.
 The Smith McGlone outfit which is doing development work on a quartz vein at the head of the creek has fol. lowed the ledge down for a distance of 125 feet. It is now running tun' nels to get at the ore. The mine has two stopes and will begin to haul its ore to the mill about June F. It is expected that the first run will begin about June 25. About 100 tons will be ready for milling at this time. 9th CT runs will be made later In the season.
 Jim Sherrard is working hard on his placer claims and is said to be making a good showing. Eric Bodin is also doing. considerable work.
 Michele & Go. recently milled some ore from their quartz diggings and the result is said to have been e1 tremely satisfactory. Altogether the creek is said to be looking better than ever before.

 In answer to a query from a rep resentative of The Citizen last night Captain John Zug. a member of the Alaska Road Commission, stated that all plans so far considered were tentative. He stated that under the new road law cooperative method of work on all roads and trails in the territory has been arranged for with blanket agreement by which the Alaska Road Commission has charge of all cooperative work.
 Major Waugh, who is chairman of the federal commission. he said. went to Washington before definite plans could be made, and since his recent return to Juneau had not dis closed anything new, altho he un- derstands that plan of proceed ure is being worked out.

That there has been considerable less activity in prospecting and trap ping on the upper Panama river last winter than for several years past. Is the report of late arrival in town from that country. The widely scattered oldtimers. young and old. of that vast section, believing that this country was worth fighting for, several of them went Outside the last two years to help win the war.
 Among those who went was Lee Hudson. who prospected on Healy river and in the Goodpaster several years, and Albert Johnson. one ol Johnson brothers who two years ago made the strike on Michigan creek tributary of the Goodpaster. There was small stampede from Fair banks to this section at that time Albert Johnson was one of the Alas kans who died of the flu at Camy Dodge last winter.

SECRETARY LANE PLANS MODEL.
 COMMUNITIES FOR MEN TAKING
 UP H0MESTEADS;; VAST PROGRAM

WASHINGTON. May 14--With an ever increasing flood of men return ing home from the war to take ur anew the tasks of civil life. many of them with greatly changed ideas of life and ambitions and in a quandary as to just what to do, are appealing to the department of the interior for information as to the intentions of the government in it's proposed plan of rroviding farms for soldiers.
 Such deluge of requests has been received from the men who wore the uniform as to emphasize the les. son of all other wars that the service men, because of army life. with it's openness and activity. largely seek out-of.doors vacations
 The interior department has al ready explained to more than 10000 men that the development of it's plans rests solely with congress It is expected that early in the next ses- sion which convenes May 19, there will be introduced bills covering the farms-for-soldiers plan.
 Briefly the department is saying that. if such legislation is passed, work will begin at once in the devel, opment of cooperative farm settle ments for soldiers and sailors in neaI:- ly all of the states. In practically every state in the Union there are large areas of land suitable for this purpose There is dry land in the west that needs water, which can be provided by building dams and canals. In the east there are large areas of cut-over and lOgged-off timber lands from which it will be necessary to blow the stumps and clear off the underbrush. In the south is a large amount of cut-over land and swamp land which must be drained.
 Many of the soldiers have asked II IL Wouiu Dt pOS6lDIt TUT tHtIll lO obtain job near their homes by draining, clearing. irrigating and i'm proving these lands. That again de. bends upon the action of congress in providing the money for construction The plans propose that these settle. ments be scattered all over the coun- try, so that it would be possible for every honorably discharged soldier or sailor or marine to work near his old home There would be work of all kinds in connection with these set. dement's. from the highest technical and clerical positions to that of la. borer.
 The plan involves the new farm idea" in that there will be built what are known as community settlements, each containing number of farm homes. so that the men will have near neighbors. good roads over
