FOOTPRINTS OF CHILDREN
 ARE NOW TO BE TAKEN
 AS MOTHERS PROTECTION

NEW YORK, Jan., % A system of taking footprints of children has been adopted in the New York Nurs- cry and Childs Hospital to prevent in- fantS born there from going to the wrong mothers. It's adoption was due to the fact that soldiers wife who re- gently gave birth to baby in that hospital at first denied that the 'chihl was hers. The young mother. who h3d been reading stories of accidental sub stitrt'on of children at hospitals and similar public institutions, declined 70 nurse the baby.

DEAL MADE IN THE
 SLATE CREEK DISTRICT
 Sl0S,0OO Is TRANSACTION
(AlaSka Dispatchl

For practically q cash consider ation of $lOO,OOO, Mrs. Miller, widow of Jack Miller, has sposed of her entire interests in the Slate creek mining district to a Mr. MercOndan:c, . capitalist of New York City. The deal, which was formally closed one day this week, was promoted by J. M. Elmer, a well-known mining en- gineer. The law firm of Revelle x Revelle represented Mir. MercandaatC in the transaction. The mining pro- perty taken over includes the MiI,er claims, into which Miller gulch empt- ies, and comprises large aera of virgin ground of known value. Mrs. Miller received a cash payment O. S5,O00 and the remaining S95,0OO will be paid to her as soon as an ab- stract of title of the claims comes into the possession of the purchaser. There is no question about the title, as Mir. Miller was the original loca- tor of the claims involved in the deal.
 The Slate creek district, located in the upper Copper river valley was discovered late in the fall of the year 1899 Jack Miller and Charlie Cram CT were among the discovererS and staked Miller gulch, named for Jack Miller. The gulch has probably pro duced more gold than any creek in the district and is far from being worked out.
 Mir. Elmer, who interested the New York capitalist in the deal, has been operating in the Slate Creek district for some years past. He also enjoys the distinction of installing the frs. dredge in the K,ondite and later o"- eratad in the Circle City district, in interior Alaska.
 MT. Cramer has been in char0" or the mininc operations on the Mi''e' pr,lch claims since the death of MT Miller, which occurred several years apo. Mrs. Mi,,er resides in Seattle.
 It is understood that the new owner nlans extensive rnining operations in the Slate creek district next season.

Far Better Plan to Prevent Ailments
Than to Attempt to Cure an Aillng
Fowl-oive Good Attention
to Their Houses.

Disease IS one Of the handicaps to
successful poultry keeping and should

chicks will not grow properly and
mature fowls will lose their vlgor and
vitality and become unproductive and
Improbable.
1t is far better to prevent disease by
proper care and attention than to at
tempt to cure a bird after 1t is sick.
Therefore It is important to watch
the flock closely at all times for any
signs Of disease. so In case an out
break occurs It may be checked at
once. Prevention is always better
than cure, and all those who wish to
succeed with poultry should give their
birds such good care and keep their
houses so well cleaned and dIslnfect-
ed that both fowls and chicks will
keep hardy and vigorous.
Some diseases may be treated sue
cessfully, while others of a more seri-
Gus nature usually prove fatal. If
only one or two birds Of a flock be-
come sick It Is usually advisable TO kill
them Immediately (unless they are
choice specimens) and burn or bury
the carcasses, say poultry specialists

them the disease may prove contagious
and spread throughout the entire

HOW 70 PREVENT
BEES SWARMING
Advice and Suggestions on Sub
iect Given by Professor
Conrad Of Clemson. I
BROOD CHAMBER TOO SMALL
Emigration Of Honey catherers Can
Be Greatly Reduced by Proper
Msna1ement-How Swarm May
BE Hived to Best Advantage.

One Of the problems of the beekcep-
er. says Prof. A. F. Conrad, entomolo-
gist is how to prevent bees from
swarming. The following questions
and answers taken from information
card No. 0, published recently by the
extension service of Clemson college,
give in brief form expert advice and
suggestions on this subject:
l. Why do bees swarm7
The bee colony is divided into
workers, drones Tor male bees), and
q queen. Normally the queen alone
lays eggs, and to perpetuate their race
new colonies are necessary. This Is
their natural way of Increase.
2. What are conditions that induce
swarming7
(a) The brood chamber may be too
small allowing too little egg-laylng
space. (b) There may be too little
storage space. (c) There may be lack
Of ventilation. (d) There may be too
many drones.
8. AT what season is swarming most
frequent7
Mostly in early spring, but It may
occur at any time during honey flOw
if conditions named in No. 2 are not
corrected.
4. Can swarming be entirely pre-
vented7
No; but 1t can be greatly reduced
by proper management
5. Why should swarming be pre-
vented as far as possible?
To keep the working force together.
One hive full Of bees is worth more
than any number of weak colonies.
6. Are there two queens In the hive
at swarming timer
Generally not. The young queen
has not yet come out Of the queen
cell. The old queen leaves with the
first swarm.
Z. How may swarming be reduced
or possibly prevented
(a) If the brood chamber becomes
crowded, add another brood chamber
(b) II bees cluster out, 1t may be due
to a crowded condition, or lack Of ven
tllation. Ventilate the hive and add
supers when necessary. II possible
remove drone comb and also queen
cells.
s. How may q swarm be hived to
best advantage?
(a) When the swarm has settled,
shake or brush It into the new hive.

WILL HONOR EARLY PRINTER
Anniversary Of Birth Of christophe
Plantin to Be Appropriately Com
memorated in August.

The four hundredth anniversary OF
the birth Of Christophe Plantin. the
noted French printer of the sixteenth
century, will be commemorated with
appropriate ceremonies in Antwerp,
during August. Plantin was son Of
Belgium only through adoption. He
was born somewhere In historic
Touraine.
1t was the peculiar achievement of
Plantin to bring honor and glory to
the printers trade in the days OF its
infancy. With a keen appreciation
of the beauties Of literature, Plantin
delighted in perfecting his workman
ship In order that those beauties
might be published in the most at
tractive form possible, although his
tools were those of common work
man. His chef-d'oevure was the IA.
nous Biblia olygotta-published in
1569-1573-an attempt at a scientific
revision of the text of the Old and
New Testaments. It was published In
the Greek, Hebrew, Syrian and Chal-
dean languages. As a result of this
monumental work Plantin received
from King Philip of Spain the title
"prOtotypographus regius," and the
right to print all the liturgical books
for the states embraced In King Phil
ip's far-huhg empire.
