SAYS WOODBINE
 LOOKS GOOD


 That the development done on the WoodDine is revealing ore resources which justify the view that early construction of a mill is advisable, is the outstanding feature of a state ment to the Herald by w. A. Tuck, Vancouver capitalist and vice president of the Woodbine Gold Mining Co.,, following a visit of several days on the properties this week.
 "The lower tunnel has been extended a distance of 125 feet in good ore," MT. Tuck said, while the main drift, running at a right angle from the tunnel, has been driven 60 feet. The drift is also in ore throughout it's length. The ore is also known to extend down to the creek below the tunnel and a considerable distance up the mountain. The whole face of the mountain at that point appears to be ore"
 q do not claim a technical knowledge of mining" MT. Tuck continued, "but in the case of the Woodbine, one does lot need to be a mine engineer so realize it's possibilities. The ore deposits are so extensive he largest to be seen in the district, 1 understand-that a person needs only to see them 70 become convinced that the property is a mine."
 Referring to the values so far disclosed by development, MT. Tuck said that moil samples taken along the length of the tunnel gave assay returns showing an average of better than $40 per ton. The upper vein, on which a cross cut tun- lel is also being driven, has yielded surface assays of $296.
 This vein lies parallel to the massive ore body cut by the lower tunnel and also appears 70 be of extraordinary size.
 "The property is showing up yery good;" MT Tuck added, So we'll in fact that there is an excellent prospect that we may start the initial stages of mill installation during the winter, in order to com nence active construction next bring"
 The new 75-h. p. Diesel en- zine and 4 drill compressor plant is being installed and will probably be in operation within a week or ten days, MT. Tuck said. The company is full iy financed and the directorate is composed of men who have made a success of their own business and are, therefore, fully qualified to direct the af- fairs of the Woodbine com pany. Another factor of inn portance in this connection is that majority of the directors have known each other person ally for 20 years or more.
 MT. Tuck, who was accom- panied on his visit by MT. Robt. Brinchley, of Vacouver, left for the south this morning.

s. s. BORDER QUEEN WITHDRAWN FROM
 LOCAL TRADE

LOCAL TRADE
 The withdrawal of the Border Line Transportation Go. steam CT Border Queen from the Se- attle-Alaska trade, with re- sultant temporary loss to Fly der of direct steamship trans portation with the Puget Sound metropolis, was announced during the past week by offic- ials of the Hyder Dock Co, local agents of the Border Line.
 The withdrawal of the steam CT was not due to losses entail ed in the local trade, dock com pany officials pointed out. The local cargoes carried have been profitable throughout the period in which the Border Queen was on the run they said. Instead it appears to be due primarily to the failure ot the Border Line company to secure Q larger measure of the trade with other Alaska ports; the traffic of which is shared in varying degrees by the Alas, ka Steamship Co.,, the Pacific Steamship Go. and also the In- dependent Navigation Co.,, ot Juneau. The latter concern, is to have been the most potent factor in forcing the withdrawal of the Border Queen by cutting freight traf, fic charges between Seattle and Juneau.
 Hyder Dock officials state that they have been aware o1 the situation for some time and the retirement of the Bor- der Queen was not entirely un- expected, although it was be- lieved the vessel would remain on the run a little longer. | from developments, however, that the Border Line people, after announcing the sailing Of the Border Queen, July 30th, decided to take no further chances with the uncertain traffic and se- cured the steamer A. B. Gar penter to make one trip to this port rather than to disappoint local shippers, who have giVer the line practically all their business.
 Questioned as to the outlook for securing another vessel to take the place of the Border Queen, officials of the Hyder Dock Co.,, although declining to make definite announce ments, intimated that steps nave already been taken in that direction and there is no reason to doubt that other means of direct transportation between Seattle and Hyder will be provided in the near 
 Hyder residents are practic- ally a unit in expressing re- gret over the withdrawal of the Border Line company, which has given local shippers T dependable and satisfactory since engaging in the .oc. trade.

MOOSE PLAN
 NEW AMUSEMENT

NEW AMUSEMENT
 The establishment of pie nic park and swimming pool for the benefit and amusement of Hyder and Stewart residents is the laudable proposal now being considered by the local Moose Lodge.
 The place chosen as site for the novel project is located near the Salmon River road, short distance north of town at what is known as the old dam site. The place is within easy walking distance and is said to be an ideal spot for creat- ing a park and swimming, pool. The dam which was originally constructed in connection with plan to supplying the town with running water, holds enough water even at the lowest water periods to pro vide fine swimming pool, and is located on mining claim, known as the Moose Claim and owned by Noel n Traversy past dictator of the Moose lodge, and Gus Brick son.
 It is the intention of the lodge to fix the place up in suitab1 manner for swimming by both sexes and special provisions will be made for the little folks.
 When the improvements are completed tn epool will be of considerable size, the deepe. part alone measuring about , by 100 feet, with a wide reacl of surrounding waters of sha lower depth, wherein the littl folks may swim and wade. When the projected improve ments are installed, it is the intention to christen the pool Moose Lake. Later on the Moose will endeavor to have the lake and a portion of the surrounding ground set aside by the Forest Service as a pub- lie park. Members of the order say the lake is so close to the Salmon River road that only small amount of clearing will be necessary to enable auto mobiles to go right up to the lake. Later in the season the lodge will hold a picnic at the lake and devote part of the day to clearing the proposed roadway.
 A committee of Moose mem bers from Hyder and Stewart visited the spot Wednesday to formulate plans for the pro- posed improvements.

Muddy Potatoes Should
Be Dried Before Storing

Muddy potatoes should be dried so
that they may be sorted before plac-
ing In winter storage. Rotting pota-
toes are hard to detect while covered
with mud, and herein lies the chief
danger of storing muddy potatoes.
This year many of the potatoes are
being dug out of the mud. The opin-
ion that muddy potatoes will not keep
in storage Is unfounded. In the
Andean highlands Of South America,
it's native habitat. the potato tubers
are stored naturally in the soil all
winter.
In tests at the Ohio experiment
station, John Bushnell, potato spe-
cialist, has found that sound potatoes
keep equally well whether stored
muddy or dried first. However, I'M
less only sound tubers are stored the
rots may spread during storage.
1t Is better, therefore, to dry and
sort muddy potatoes before placing
them in winter storage If spread
out in thin layer on floor the mud
dries and usually shells Off readily,
making 1t easy to sort the tubers
when moving them from the drying
shed to the storage cellar or pit.

Farm Horseshoeing
.. Information Given
Using Unshod Animals Will
Result in Tender Feet.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
With the passing of the blacksmith
shop from every crossroad, hamlet and
village, the farmer is experiencing
considerable difficulty in getting his
horses shod. The solution of the prob
lem in a large measure devolves upon
the farmer himself in learning to do
the work on his own farm. 10 as
sist the farmer In learning to care
for the feet of his work stock properly
and to shoe his horses, II necessary,
the United States Department of
Agriculture has prepared an illus
trated bulletin on farm horseshoeing,
known as Farmers Bulletin 1859.
Using unshod horses and mules for
pulling heavy farm machinery wears
off the horny wall of the foot at the
ground surface more rapidly than
growth is supplied from above and
will result in tender feet. A we'll
shod horse not only is kept in serv-
ice but he is a more efficient worker
in that he can better apply his
strength because he has better foot
ing. 1t is important, however, that
shod horses have regular attention
that about every four to six weeks
the shoes be removed, the hoofs trim
med, and the shoes refitted.
Ready-to-wear shoes of various
sizes for horses and mules can now
be obtained and greatly simplify the
shoeing problem for farmers. A copy
of the bulletin may be obtained by

ment Of Agriculture, Washington,

Lime for Alfalfa Year
in Advance Is Favored

The best time to lime in preparation
for alfalfa seeding is a year in ad-
vance, according to bulletin in "Lim-
ing for Alfalfa" by F. ]. Away and
G. o. Rost of the soils division, Mime
sofa agricultural experiment station.
In fact, lime may be applied two or
three years in advance of seeding
without any loss in beneficial effects.
If, however. one wishes to seed
piece of alfalfa in less than a year,
he can get good effects by applying
his lime several weeks in advance.
The effectiveness, says the bulletin,
which is for free distribution on ap-
plication to the division of publica-
tions, University Farm, st. Paul-is
much increased by thorough mixing
with the soil. Usually lime or ground
limestone is best applied after pillow.
ing. Then the disking and narrowing
in preparation of the seed-bed pro-
vides the necessary mixing.
The farmer who decides a year in
advance to seed an area to alfalfa,
where lime is needed. may very well
spread his limestone and then put
the field into corn. The limestone
will not damage the most sensitive
young plants.

Crude Pine Tar Smeared
on Husking Mitts HELPS

According to the Nebraska Agricul-
tural college authorities, crude pine
tar smeared on the husking mittens
several times during the day will make
them last longer as well as help the
husker jerk the shucks. Excepting in
wet weather, well tarred mitts
should last about twice as long as
those without tar. Enough thick. tar
to cover the thumbs and palms and
then a layer of dirt to absorb the
sickness will make surface on the
mitts that will wear we'll and also
be rough enough to pull the shucks
quickly. A set of thumb stalls of
heavy cotton flannel or light canvas
are mighty handy If mitt should rip
or wear out more quickly than usual.
The handiest addition to a husk-
er's wagon is little box hooked on
the rod Of the front end gate in which
he can keep his tar can, an, extra
pair Of mitts and thumb stalls, and
an extra husking hook or peg.
Cracked fingers and thumbs and
chapped wrists can be healed by soak
ing them In hot water for about ten
minutes and then rubbing them we'll
with glycerin before going to bed
each night.

American Mule Ousting
Horse for Farm Work

Recent statistics show that the long
cared, loud-vOiced mule still continues
60 do full share of the work of the
farm despite the progress of motor
propelled machinery, writes Uthai ".
Wilcox in the Dearborn Independent.
The mule population of the United
States has grown nearly million
head in the eleven years following
1914. It is now estimated at more
than 5,411,00O.
Government officials note that the
growers of cotton, tobacco. rice and
sugar cane have swung over almost en-
tirely to the use of mules in preparing
their crops. Experience seems to indi-
cate that the mule can do the most
work on the cheapest feed and with
the lowest grade Of driver.
Reports from the leading mule mar
kets of the country, such as st. Louis,
Kansas City, Atlanta and other places,
show that the demand for mules is to-
day very keen. In fact. one handler
of farm animals said that mot since
the war, when mules were used for
cannon fodder, has the demand been
so brisk"
The mule is becoming a favorite
over the horse for the farm. The Kan
sas City market, as an example,
showed 65 per cent horses to 35 per
cent mules in other years and now it
is IS per cent mules and Is per cent
horses.

Improve Dairy
Herd by Sires
High Class Bull Is Essential
if Improvement Is to
Be Made.
prepared by the United States Department
of APriciilttfreN

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Every dairy herd needs high-class
bull at it's head if the herd is to be
improved, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. For the
dairyman who has small herd and is
short on finances, the cheapest and
best way to obtain the use of first
class pure-bred bulls is through the
work Of a cooperative dairy-bull as
sociation.
Purpose Of Organization.
A bull association is a farmers or
ganization whose chief purpose is the
breeding of better dairy cows through
joint ownership, use, and systematic
exchange of prepotent dairy bulls of
high-producing ancestry. Improvement
Of the herd that may be expected
through membership in such an or
ganiZation is discussed in Farmers
Bulletin 1532-F, "Dairy-Herd Improve
ment Through Cooperative Bull AS
sociations," just issued by the bureau
of dairy industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Through the system of transferring
bulls from block to block, the bull as
ISOLATION makes it impossible to keep
the desirable bulls as long as they
live or are fit for service. This enables
bulls daughters to come in milk and
be tested while he is still owned by
the association, and furnishes means
Of determining which bulls are string
the high-producing daughters. The
bulls that do not get satisfactory
daughters are disposed of.
Study of Records.
A study of the records of the
daughters Of bull-association bulls
showed an average yearly mature pro-
duction Of SOL pounds of milk and
342 pounds of butterfat. In milk pro-
duction the daughters excelled the
dams by 1875 per cent and in butterfat
production by IA per cent. Some of
the sires are very outstanding. One
sire, for instance, was mated with
cows having an average yearly but
terfat production of 347 pounds, yet
his seven daughters from these cows
excelled their dams by 81 per cent in
milk production and A per cent in
production of butterfat.
Much progress has been made by
selecting bulls on the records of their
dams and granddams. The most rapid
progress cannot come until dairy sires
are selected on the production records
of their daughters.

pressed with large auto. On being
told the price in dollars, his face fell,
but when told that so beaver skins
