FEDERAL VETERINARIAN
 AGAIN N ALASKA TO
 INSPECT DAIRY ANIMALS

c. D. Bishop. federal veterinarian with the Bureau of Animal Industry is now making a trip through Alas ka conducting tuberculosis tests Of dairy animals.
 Mr. Bishop states that his depart ment of the government is making Il big campaign in the States and territories in an effort to eradicate tuberculosis in dairy herds. it hay- ing been found that milk from in- feeted cows in large measure caused a communication of the disease to children.
 The government he says, is spend ing millions of dollars in this inten- siye campaign Statewide and eoun- ty eleanups are waged with marked success, each county being declared free when a test shows the reaetors to be less than one-half of one per cent Some states are yielding rap idly. especially in the West, where the greatest advance is being made. The campaign, says Mr Bishop. will reach it's peak in 1929, when it is expected a control of the situation will exist, thus permitting redue ton of surveillance to a fixed per manent basis.

NO BLOND EsKIM0s

Amundsens statement that there are no blond Eskimos ia the Arctic Circle has been verified by officers of the Royal Canadian mounted po- lice. One mounted officer who made a hazardous journey into the Mel bourne Peninsula to bring out a murderer, says he has travelled from the Arctic through Hudson Straits and Fury and HecIa Straits as far as Coronation Gulf and knows every tribe of Eskimos for hundreds of miles in every direction from the straits and islands. Yet he main tains that he never saw one of the natives with light hair. Thus an other popular legend of the writers of Northern thrillers is punetured by cold facts.-Seward Gateway.

THE BEAVER FORECAST

Long, cold winters can be forecast by an intelligent observer of the beaver, by noting an extra large feed bed, and the extreme care that they use in plastering their houses, the work on the latter being usually completed by the first days in 0cto- Der. A careless indifference to house plastering and an apparent apathy in their feed bed work and it's small size in comparison with other years prognostieates a mild wfnter.-GateWay

TUNDRA FIRES MAY EXPOSE
 PROSPECTS. WESTWARD

Tundra and forest fires are still burning away on the public domain in the Bristol Bay region and throughout the Westward. These fires started almost two months ago and are now confined mostly to the marshlands. Ii is estimated thou sands of dollars have been lost in the burning of commercial timber back in the hills of those districts. A smoke halo hovers over an area hundreds Of miles i'll extent.
 4 circumstance has arisen, as a result of these fires, which perhaps will be of great assistance to pros pectors in that the fires now burn ing in the swamp lands have pene- trated below the moss and into the soil down to the ice. about a foot below the surface. It is stated the thawing of the ground will serve as an inducement for many mining men to prospect new fields for gold is "where you find Seward Gateway.

possible to determine this by the smell.
The method for removing this kind of
a stain differs from the other, for.
while soap and water rightly applied
will eradicate the stain from the other
polish, turpentine is best with a tur-
pentine polish.
How to Take Out Spot.
To remove such a stain immerse the
discolored portion in turpentine and
spread on a smooth surface, with a
clean piece of blotting paper under
material. Put the right side of the
goods against the blotting paper. so
that the stain can leave the cloth with
out passing through it to the reverse
side. Take another piece of cloth, dip
it in the turpentine and rub over dis
colored surface.
Spot Removing Hint.
A method of spot removal. which
applies equally well to the use of soap
and water or cleaning fluid, is to put
the spotted part over small bowl con-
tanning the cleaning agent and work
entirely within the area of the bowl.

be asking me what stones are"
We'll. you needn't be so cross about
it" replied Reddy. II thought they
were some kind of CLANS, but if you
say they're MusSels, why / suppose
they're Mussels. They are not inter
esting, anyway"
rs that so?" exclaimed Graywing.
rs that so? Well. l don't suppose
there is anything interesting in them
to folks who don't use their eyes. l
would hardly expect you to find any
thing interesting in a Mussel. Look
at that one over there fast to the side
of that rock. 1t hasn't entered your
head to wonder how it sticks there,
has it?"
Reddy looked a little bit foolish. 1t
hadn't occurred to him to wonder how
that Mussel could cling to the side of
that smooth rock. He went over to it
now and looked at it. He took hold of
it. 1t was fastened securely to that
rock. Ie looked up at Graywing and
hesitated. You see, he just hated to
admit that there was something inter
esting after all about that Mussel
Then he grinned sheepishly. "I'll take
it all back Graywing." said .he. How
under the sun can Mussel hang onto
rock like this?"
GO over and look closely" said
Graywing. "If you use your eyes. you
probably will see a little yellow thread
which fastens that Mussel to the rock. ="
Reddy looked. Sure enough, it was
as if that Mussel was growing with
little yellow roots out of the rock.
THAT is a little sticky matter that
the Mussel makes, and which is
thrown out and hardens on whatever
it touches. l suppose YOU wouldn't
believe ii if l told you that that Mus
sci can climb up this rock
'I'll believe anything you say" re-
piled Reddy humbly.
Graywing looked pleased. It's a
fact" said he. He can throw out
these little threads, and they stick to
the rock, and he can pull himself up.
1t is very slow work, and it takes him
long time to move a very short dis
tance. but he can move"
