SETTING HENS IN ONE ROOM
Fowl Is Provided With Feed,
Water and Dust Bath.

Usually several hens can be set with
good results in one large room or loft,
providing each with feed, water, and
dust bath, so that they may leave the
nests and return at will. The nests
should be placed several feet apart to
avoid interference with one another.
Straw or hay, not chaff, makes the
best nesting material.-United States

Beetles Garry Disease.
When the garden and field cucum-
bers appear the beetles fly to feed on
them, carrying the disease with them.
1t is quite certain, therefore, that the
disease generally starts each season
from the wild cucumber, and it ap-
pears probable that the elimination of
this plant as an ornamental would go
far toward reducing the amount of
mosaic disease on cultivated cucum-
bers. Among the climbing ANNALS
which have been recommended to take
the place of wild cucumbers as an or
namental are the morning glory, the
scarlet runner bean, and the cypress
vine. All are quick growers and pro-
vide shade and an abundance of
snowy flowers. OF the many perennial
vines available for use as ornamentals,
the Virginia creeper, the wild grape
white Powered clematis, and the false
bittersweet are mentioned as especially
adapted for the middle West. Those
interested in looking into the matter

Mosaic Disease of Cucumber.

tons has practically driven the pick
ling business out of existence, is shown
by studies made in Wisconsin by Unit
ed States department of agriculture
scientists. Their investigations prove
that the white pickle disease, or mo-
sale disease of cucumbers, also attacks
the wild or white pickle cucumber, a
vine which occurs along streams and is
used for ornamental purposes in many
parts of the middle West. Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, where
this wild vine thrives, are the center
of the pickle-growing industry in this
country. The wild plant is a serious
menace to the cultivated cucumber IN
these states, because it is the prin-
cipal, if not the only, means by which
this disease is carried over from sea-
son to season.
All persons in town and country
in cucumber regions are urged by the

Disease Near Towns.

COincident with the great abundance
of wild cucumbers near towns it has
been observed that the white pickle
disease Of the cultivated cucumber is
generally more abundant and severe
near towns than in the open country.
This is of Importance not only to
nearby farmers who grow pickles as
a business, but to town gardeners as
well who wish to grow few cucum-
bers, muskmelOns or other vine crops
for home use. The disease may attack
any Of these vines so severely as to
kill the plant or prevent the production
of any but warty and worthless fruits.
The striped cucumber beetle which
IS usually present on CucumberS, is
one of the most effective agents in
spreading the disease from plant to
plant and from field to field. Depart
ment of agriculture scientists have
shown that the disease is carried from
one cucumber crop to the next as fol-

COLONIZATION ! ! OF' S.N.' ALASKA

Memorials Will Be Introduced For Scheme Tn the Terri

The colonization of SouthwesterI Alaska, especially that great region tapped by the Government railroad and the Tanana Valley is to receive attention in the next Territorial leg islature. a,
 J. C. Mcbride, Republican National Committeeman, for Alaska, stated today that he knew that P. J. Rick ert recently elected member of the Territorial Legislature. from tho Fourth Division, would introduce s memorial for the colonization scheme and that H. T. Tripp, also elected from the First Division. would be a strong supporter. Mir. Mcbride said he would heartily support tho proposition himself and he believed that Southwestern Alaska would be the place where colonization would be the most beneficial for the Terri tory.
 Mir. Rickert, who passed through Juneau on the Northwestern last Sunday night. in an interview in Tho Empire, stated that 800 farmers were wanted in the Panama Vailey :o raise crops for the constantly in creasins markets, &s sws. .,ifstl
 It is known that farmers in tho Matanuska section which is tapped by the Government railroad have done much to cultivate the country and their products have found ready markets.
 The Government railroad will te operated through an agricultural country as well as a highly mineral ized district and as the railroad Is constructed and the mining districts are developed the farmer should be the next person interested in devel opmnt to provid products for the miner.
 Mir Mcbride stated that during his recent visit to the Westward, the proper influencing of those who tii. the soil. was brought to his atten- ton. He stated that around Seward the small producer found ready market, and that with proper aid and support ranchers would cultivate more ground, and thus gradually merge into farming on large scale.
 With the railroad completed spec. ial rates not only on the railroad but on the steamship lines operated 10 Alaska, should be given to the farm CT and to his implements and stock. Aid should also be extended to the acquisition of ground said MT. Nc Bride. t4I

OUTPUT DOUBLED
 ] ON CACHE CREEK FOR NEXT YEAR
Harper Brothers, Operators t Say That With New Outfits
 Much Gold Will Result.

That the Cache Creek district will more than double it's production oi gold next year is the opinion ol Harper Brothers,' operators on that creek who are now in the city awaiting boat to take them to the Sitka Hot Springs
 Owing primarily to the great shortage of labor and. secondly u the high cost of operating most of the work done in the Cache Creek district this year was development work" said Harper Brothers today, there were really only three claims that did any amount of mining. owners of other claims contented themselves with digging ditches fl preparation for next season when 1t is thought that more labor will be available.
 Cache Creek is situated 170 miles from Anchorage and 40 miles from Talkeetna Junction on the Government railroad. The present way to get to the digging is over rough trails from Talkeetna,l there not even being a road. The govern ment however" the men contfnued, have started construction s'of an automobile highway and seventeen miles of it has been built. When this is completed the whole district will receive great stimulus. ".,
 Continuing and speaking of the various operations going on in, 'he district. Harper Brothers said that Henry Banburg, on Dollar Creek, although not being able to get all the men that he needed worked five men on his hydraulic proposition With good results.
 On Lower Falls Creek, the firm of Price and Anderson completed the installation of a hydraulic out fit. They did not do any mining but will next year
 On the ground of the Thunder Creek Mining Company, Donahue Brothers worked eight men on q hydraulic claim and had good re- suits. On Nugget Creek there was no mining done but James Murray put. in three miles of ditch and will start active mining operations next year. The same condition existed at the head of Cache Creek where Dr. Notion could not secure. any men so he put in about fiTee miles of ditch and will start hydrau1iUin | next seasons IS
 On Peter Creek, the Harper Broth CTS have sixteen claims Last year they completed three miles of ditch and this year started actual hyd- rauiic mining on big scale with Ia good head of water They made a satisfactory clean up. Cliff Hall two miles below Harper Brothers on Peter Creek, did not mine, but started making preparations for SC doing next year
 The dredge on Cache Crock d;d not operate this year. A start was made towards electrifying .hs dredge and $50 tons of supplies will be freighted in over the winter trail for the outfit that will work on a large scale next season.
 On Ramsdghe Creek, c. w. Nef has his hydraulic outfit assembled and will work next season.
 According to Harper Brothers the production of the Cache Greek district will be at least doubled the coming year. They would not make an estimate of the amount of gold that was produced there this season but said that some had estimated it to be fin the neighborhood ot $90,000 There were from eight to one hundred men in the district
