Fresh Eggs Handled Like Cream.

In sending out warning to egg
producers that this is the time of the
year when great care must be exer-
cised to maintain the quality of mar
ket eggs, N. E. Chapman, poultry
specialist of the agricultural extern
sion division at University Farm, says
that fresh eggs must be handled as
carefully as sweet milk or cream.
He names five essentials for the pro-
dUctiVn of tCp-notch market eggs.
These are:
The production of infertile eggs
by ctnfininG or killing old roostcrS
and Danishing the young ones.
BY providing one nest for every
four hens and gathering eg:,5 at l
and at p. m. every day.
By con ming all broody hens :be
fret night found.
by grading eggs when gathered
keeping the small checked Dr. dirty
ones for ume use and putting The
eggs t. be marEe ted in a case which
is always kept in a cool, dry place.
By marketing eggs at least three
times a week, protecting the case
from the sun and heat on the way tC
market.

BREEDING WHEAT
RESISTANT TO RUST

One of the important projects of
Farm is the attempt to produce
spring wheats which are resistant to
black stem rust.
While no variety is as yet available
for distribution, much progress has
been made and the studies indicate
that the rust problem eventually can
be solved by the breeding of resistant
varieties, although the task is a diff
ficult one. Work is being carried on
under the joint cooperation of re-
preventative of the Office of cereal in
vestigation. U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, and the respective stats Of
the stations of plant pathology and
of plant breeding.
1t has been learned that there are
several strains of the black stem rust
which can be differentiated only by
their effect on wheat varieties. One
step has been taken to determine the
number of such racial strains of rust
which are present in the northwest.
The next step has been to find varie-
ties resistent to each separate strain
or to several strains.
The method of attack can best be
Illustrated by giving actual results.

! resistant to several strains of stem

Hot Sun Checks Livestock.

Hot weather, flies and mosquitoes
retard the growth of farm animals
and lesson milk production. Even
though such animals may be kept
during July and August on good pas
ture they do not gain. January and
February are also trying months.
There may be plenty of feed then, but
often there is not enough shelter to
keep livestock comfortable

heat" says w. H. Peters, of the ami
NAL husbandry division at University
Farm, lis wooded pasture. There
are many farms in Minnesota, how
ever, upon which no trees are grow
ing in fields best adapted for use as
pastures. On such farms no invest
ment will pay better than cOnstruc-
ton of cheap shed that will afford
shade for stock during the heat of
the day. In such shed cattle and
horses will collect and the switching
tails will provide protection in large
degree from flies in the day time and
from mosquitoes during the late eve
ming.

NEW YORK. March News rel

in Europe dominated price nuetus-

Early in the day the cables received
were construed as favorable and this
impaired strength TO the general
list with the motor shares promi-
nent owing TO reports Of improve
ments in the motor industry.
In the late afternoon the whole
market turned heavy when reports
Of disagreement at the conference
were received. In the selling move
ment which ensued most Of the
gains Of the early day were lost and
recessions recorded in their places.
Offerings continued up to the close:
final quotations being around the
lowest. The favorable influence
created by the good showing made
in the combined statement of the
twelve Federal Reserve banks was
more than offset by the apprehen-
sion entertained with regard TO the
European news. Sterling exchange
was higher and call money ruled at
per cent on the Stock Exchange.

Walla WaIla, Wash.-Ten thous- and barrels of apples are to be ship ped from the Pacific Northwest in barrels this year as the result of the entry of a new concern into the field, according to an announcement made here.

 The apples will be second grade, marking the first time also, it is said, that second grade fruit has been shipped east of the Rocky Mountains, from this section of the state. There is said to be a good demand this year tor small apples due to the crop shortage in the East.

SKAGWAY WEATHER

There may be towns in Alaska which have better weather than Skagway. but We do not know of them. Of course. if you are fond of perpetual rains, Sitka or Ketchikau are better than Skagway, or fl you want snows. Haines and CordOva are better than Skagway, but for town in which sunshine n summer and pleasant winter weather are in terspersed at their appropriate times Skagway is hard to beat, Thus far this winter we have had exceptionally good weather and for the past week very mild weather. We have snows, but rarely so deep that a Ford cannot negotiate them easily every day of the winter months, and our sidewalks seldom have snow on them so that you need rubber overshoes. All in all, Skag- way has exceptionally good weather for a northern town.

10 Make It Legal

Dr. Nelson has prepared an Alas ka game bill for introduction in con- gress within the near future and said that he would include marking and registering clauses in that meas ure. It is hoped, he said. to get congress to act fay 0rably on the measure at it's regular winter ses- sion. Exchange

Marking system Explained

In his letter to Mir. Shoup, Dr. Nelson explained briefly the system which he believes will prove an aid in checking robbery of fox farms. He recommends the marking of young foxes by tatooing the ear. This me- thod, he said, is commonly used by the Canadian government inspectors on Prince Edward Island, whose duty it is to inspect foxes and pass them for registration. The tatoo- ing is performed ty an instrument which is made by placing very fine needles in design which forms the brand. The needles are dipped into ink and then pressed on the ear of the animals. Many firms. including several on the Pacific coast, man ufacture the above instrument.
The daily Alaskan., 1921-12-08
Organized Thievery Exists

Ut seems apparent from the com plaints received at this office that organized robbery of the fox islands is being carried out at least fairly successfully" said 9Ir. Shoup. We have done what We could but under the circumstances We are naturally unable to protect all the islands on which fox farming is conducted and to do so would require a good sized fleet of patrol vessels, which we do not possess.
 As the Alaskan fox farmers do not carry out a system of branding their animals, even where We might think We have located stolen ami mas, such animals being without marks of identification, there Is no means of verifying our suspicious. In fact, it is practically impossible to make a case unless the thief should be caught in the very act Of robbery"

BRANDING OF FOXES
 IS RECOMMENDED
 BY DIR. F. W. NELSON

Branding and registration of fox es by Alaskan fox farmers as a means of checking depredations on their stock by thieves is recommend ed by pr. E. W. Nelson, chief of the biological survey, in a letter recent ly received from him by United States Attorney Shoup. Mir. Shoup said that he had taken the matter up with the biological survey as the result of numerous complaints re- ceived by him from fox ranchers of their animals being stolen.
