Calf Raising Expensive

Calf raising is an expensive PROPOSE
ton but it is the surest way for a
dairyman to make progress. 1t costs
in feed and painstaking labor to de-
velop calves to the producing age, but
only in this way can our herds I'M
prove. However, If calves out of the
better cows in the herd are selected
and pure-bred sire Of merit is used
and In the first two years of their lives
If good care Is given them, these
heIfers will pay good dividends for
our investment in them.

When milk ever spoiled the
fertility or hatchability of an
egg?
When a chick didn't make
good growth when it has milk
in It's ration?
What a time you used to have
getting a lot Of early chicks
Matched with hens?
When you had a mongrel flock
= and wished some one would
come along and get you started
with good breed?
= The time you mad raising
chicks on the old ground that
had been used for % years with
out a change?
How your chicks acted when
they were affected by worms
and coccidiosis?

Determine Sex of Calf

The common belief that male off
spring is the rule when female car
ries her young longer than normal is
not well founded, according to a re-
cent study at the Iowa State college.
The CESSATION periods of 800 cows in
the experiment station herd were ex-
amined. No periods were considered
where twins or premature calves were
born. There were 189 male and $50
female calves produced. Bulls and
heifers were carried the same length

this fashion then the hens will not

side.
The ordinary poultry house is al

The moisture from the hens accum-

ulates on the ceiling of the house and
freezes there, making the house very
damp. The litter then gets soiled
more quickly and as result much
more work is required in caring for
the house properly.
The advantage Of the new house
lies in the fact that the same straw In
the loft of the house which retains the
heat of the hens and serves to make
the house warmer likewise absorbs
the moisture given off by the hens
thus keeping the litter dry. Poultry
men who are using the house are very
enthusiastic in their recommends
lions. Wisconsin farmers may write
to the college for the new bulletin
which describes the house.

Poultry Facts

Milk in some form should be kept
before chicks during the first month.
One of the things that our culling
should do is to weed out the persist
ent sitters. The heavy layers do not
waste time in broodiness.
Many chicks are not getting enough
green feed. If they are not on range
carry sod to them or fix up feeder
and give them cut alfalfa or clover
hay. You'll be surprised how they
will eat it.
Wheat treated with copper car
Donate to prevent sinking smut is
not harmful to chickens. at least If
fed for only a short time. Neither is
it harmful to hogs, when fed in small
amounts.
Sunlight and cod liver oil are said
to prevent leg weakness. So will get.
ting the chicks onto the ground, either
outside the brooder house or on
chunks of sod placed on the broode1
floor.

The new house Is Of the gable roof

Beginning two-thirds of the distance
UP the back wall a false roof Is run

distance between this roof and the

this arrangement that one gets the

 White people in the district wHrned the villagers to refrain iron eating the dead whale meat, but re gardless of the ample supply of food on hand. they paid no heed tc the advice with the above result. Four children, ages ranging from eight months to seven years, all brothers and sisters, were left or phans. They were brought to Se- ward on the Starr and were taken to Eklutna, on this mornings train, where they will be placed in the Bureau of Education's home. Miss Rueth, nurse at the Eklutna orphan age. came over on Saturdays train. The smallest child was extremely i'll, upon it's arrival in Seward ap- parently being affected with tuber- cular trouble.

CHURCH PARTY COMING

The third annual excursion to Southeastern Alaska sponsored by the Presbyterian church will be made on the steamer Queen arriv- ing here from the south this week
 The party, numbering nearly 200 people of the Presbyterian faith, is under the guidance of Dr. Paul Stevens of Los Angeles. pr. s Hall Young, pioneer Alaskan mis- sionary and nationally known for his books on travels in Alaska will accompany the party, featuring on the principal points of interest en- countered during the voyage.

TREADWELL co. MILLING
 no TONS DAY AT KENO

According to late information re-
 ceived at Dawson from Keno, the Treadwell Yukon Company is mil ling 110 tons of ore per day and recovering from eight to ten tons of concentrates running about 500 ounces per ton in silver and 55 per cent in lead The tunnel on the 600-foot level has been extend ed and cut the vein, opening up body of siderite ore, but work was discontinued as it was draining tho mine, and the water was needed for pumping operations to keep the mill running. The same report says that there are close to 1000 tons of shipping ore, mined by private individuals, now at Mayo, ready for shipment. and that there is every prospect of a busy summer.

SITKA VOTES BONDS FOR
 NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

At the special election held late ly the people of Sitka declared themselves in favor of issuing school bonds not to exceed the sum of s25,000 by an overwhelming ma jority. The actual vote was 46 to 16 and only 60 per cent was re- quired to pass. Sitka will in the near future be able to take it's place with other Southeastern AL aska towns that have recently built new schools.
 The next step will be the issu- ing and selling of the bonds. It is hoped that the whole issue will be sold in Alaska and that good share can be disposed of locally. The bonds will be sold at par and will pay per cent interest. Sitka subscribed about $14,00O, on one war bond issue and there should be no serious difficulty in selling these more attractive bonds without re- sorting to the services of a bond house. Already applications have been received from several outside places in the Territory asking to make reservations for this issue, one party placing his order for a thousand dollars. It is likely the bonds will be issued in $500 and $1,000 denominations and it is pos sible that some partial payment plan may be worked out.
 The erection of a new school building will be one of the greatest civic improvements ever undertaken in Sitka. No town can lay claim to progress without providing adequate educational facilities.

The excursionists ar rived in Wrangell at g o'clock Fri day night. The vessel remained in port only ten minutes and the pas sengers were not permitted to come ashore.

Defense Test Day To Be Observed
 In Wraneell

At the request of Major General Maddox, U. s. A., commanding the Ninth Corps Area, which includes Alaska, Gov. George A. Parks has designated Mayor George H. Barnes of Wrangell member of the Cent ral Mobilization Committee which will have charge in the Territory of Defense Test Day, July 4th.
 When General Maddox was advis- ed of the appointment of Mayor Barnes he sent a cablegram to Mir. Barnes requesting that he take charge of the Defense Day obser- vance in Wrangell signing up citizens between the ages of IS and 45 for the day, assuring them that this is no obligation but test only of who would respond in case of grave emergency to the nation.
 Mayor Barnes was absent from town when the cablegrams were re- ceived. Mrs. Barnes turned the messages over to Acting Mayor J. c. Grant who at once called special meeting of the Town Coun- cil for the purpose of formulating such plans for the local program as the Council wished to have car ried out. After some discussion of the subject it was the concensus of opinion that an observance of this kind which is held chiefly for tn purpose of promoting loyalty and patriotism might very appropriately be held under the auspices of the American Legion. The telegrams were then turned ovtr to Council man Coulter who happens to be the Commander of the local post of the American Legion. The Acting Mayor announced that Councilman E. NJ. Campbell would act with Councilman Coulter in bringing this matter before the American Legion.
 The Defense Test Day observance will be general throughout the United States. It is pointed out by those sponsoring the observance that the very effort which individ- uals put forth to make a success of Test Day will serve to impress them with their duties as citizens with reference to public defense, and by demonstrating the true meaning of war make them more reluctant to rush into an armed conflict with other nations.
