Rich Calcareous Loess
HELPS Corn Production

The corn belt soils are the worlds
richest because they are young soils.
according to DR.. r. S. Smith of the
University of Illinois. The origin OF
the soils is rich calcareous glacial de
posits or rich calcareous loess.
1.-THE time elapsed since the last
glacial age has been short and the
weathering of the soils is not far
enough advanced to deplete the fertil-
ity of the original elements. The cii-
mate of the corn belt is favorable to
formation of good soils due to the
frozen condition of the soil good part
of the year, which prevents teaching
for the period Of the winter.
''The grass that grew on the pralries
of the corn belt contributed organic
matter to the soil, while the fOrested
areas left very little vegetable matter
in those Soils

Properly Fitted
Collar for Horse
One Most Important Point
Often Overlooked in
Rush Of Work.

No more inexcusable thing is to be
seen on the farm than horse work.
ing In the field with an improperly
fitted collar. II the collar is too large,
chatting and sores result and 1t is
agony to the horse to be kept in har-
ness. If, on the other hand, the coll
bar is too short, the horse is choked
down and cannot give satisfactory
service.
A few points in selection of collars
are well worth remembering.
Points on Selection.
II the horse is thick through the
upper portion of the neck, he should.
be- fitted with half" or full
Sweeney" collar. The reason is that
these collars are not SO fully padded
about the upper portion of the neck
as they are farther down, where the
neck Of the horse is not so thick and
needs heavier padding. A well-fitting
collar results from careful study OF
the animals shoulder in these re-
spects.
After the collar is selected, measure
it on the neck. This is best done by
pressing the collar back against the
horses shoulder and while so held,
testing whether there is enough room
between the neck and the sides OF
the collar to permit passage of the
fingers up and down. II so, the col
lar is not too tight, and yet is large
enough, for anything roomier would
probably cause chatting.
Next test for length by fitting the
collar on the horse with names and
traces in place and arrange to have
some pull exerted on the traces while
the horse walks. If this is not possi-
BILE, have a man on each side OF the
horse, pull down and press back on
the collar in order to get it firmly
placed against the shoulder. In this
position there should be space OF
one and one-half inches between
the bottom of the collar and the neck
of the horse. If the collar is too
short, the horse will choke, as has
been explained; if too long, the
draught Of the names will be brought
too low and improper balance will
ensue.
Pulling Contests Help.
"Horse-pulling contests" says the
American Horse Breeders association.
in a recent pamphlet on Horses and
Mules for Power and Profit" have
been and are of immense value In
demonstrating the proper fitting OF
collars.

Mice Gnawing. Harness Is
Very Common Trouble

Gnawing harness by mice Is very
common trouble, but an inquiry among
a number of harness manufacturers
indicates that none of them know Of
any material which can be rubbed on
the harness to discourage the mice.
One or two suggest that fish oil might
help, but are frankly doubtful Of its
doing any good The only practicable
remedies seem to be to hang the har-
ness on wire suspended from swinging
racks or In mouse-proof harness
rooms. or to trap or otherwise destroy
the mice. If any of our readers have
found a remedy. we should like very
much to have their experiences.

Acidity'

The common cause of digestive diff.
culties is excess acid. Soda cannot
alter this condition, and 1t burns the
stomach. Something that will neu-
tralize the acidity is the sensible
thing to take. That is why physicians
tell the public to use Phillips Milk Of
Magnesia.
One spoonful of this delightful prep
aration can .neutralize many times its
volume in acid. It acts instantly; re-
lief is quick, and very apparent. All
gas is dispelled; all sourness is soon
gone; the whole system is sweetened.
Do try this perfect anti-acid, and re-
member it is just as good for children,
too, and pleasant for them to take.
Any drug store has the genuine, pre-
scriptional product.

HIGH OFFICIAL, CFHAS. M. FLORY, HONOR GUEST AT CHAMBER
 # LUNCHEON

The weekly meeting of the SeW-
 ard Chamber of Commerce, held
 Tuesday, was especially featured by
 the presence Of Charles H. Flory,
 chief representative of the U. s. Del
 partment of Agriculture in Alaska,
 district forester, and head of sever
 al other federal departments in the Territory
 MT Flory delighted the business representative and other residents
 of Seward and vicinity, who were present, by stating that the 193O field program of the forestry de- Ipartment included trail work that
 will be carried on in this area when the season opens. @I am sorry, however" ne said, that We did not get enough money this year to enable us to get this locality rome additional roadsl thoueh it is ex- pected that the next session of con- gress will see ala increase in our appropriations"
 MT. FlorY was not questioned on the subject, but it is believed that he favors the construction of the section of highway that will connect up hte Moose Pass Hope road with the Seward -Kenai ' Lake highway, and sees the advan- tage of it's completion at the earli- est possible moment.
 Speaking of the Territory'S re- of which furs n one of the most valuable" MT. Florv said, "vou have reason to feel optimistic from this point of view, for being in a most eilviable position for develop Ing fur farms Tn fact the areas adjacent to the line of the Alaska Railroad are most favorablv adapt able to this profitable industry"
 Though some appropriations nave been low. I was highly pleased so see the warranted increases in the funds allotted to the Alaska Game Commission, and for airways and the rtudy of the war ole fly problem which is a serious tO developments of the X reindeer inTAlstry.

 Completing his well received re- I marks, Flory won the warm feel- .ngs of his listeners when he said, The men who work in the public service of Alaska, are working for the common good of all of Alaska. N That there men are true Alaskans, \ Is evidenced by their full particina- lions in civic and community af- fairs and problems of the respect i've cities or settlements where they are stationed, many of whom own \ 5heir own homes and have found I in living inthe Terri sory.

Evidence of the interest manifested Dy Presden' Hoover in Alaska is displayed in the extension of the federal expenditure plan to the Territory as means o1 preventing or relieving unemployment our1ng the Wln- ter "A arpe force of men dismanting the Sutton coal washery as part of this plan.
 However the pinch of unemployment IS not felt in Alaska as is in other portions of the nation and the innovation may De justly set down to an increase in prosperity
 But the most important announcement to come from Washington is the location of assistant secretary of the Interior Department in the Railroad belt Ill the person of Ernest Walker Sawyer Mr. Sawyers assign ment is the result of imporunities from General Man ager Otto F. Ohlson of the Alaska Railroad and is a part of his plan for industrial development all along the railroad.
 The selection of Mr. Sawyer is fortunate in that he is of dynamic energy believes in action and aft ter brief survey of the Territory outspOken Tn his recommendations that the long looked for of del velopment be ushered in notable point in these concentrations is the fact that Mr. Sawyer finds perfect harmony of opinion what should be done, and may count upon the fullest of encouragement and operation from end of the railroad to the other
 It is quite evident that Colonel Ohlson has establish ed firm confidence in Washington, for despite the cunbeI someness of governmental procedure he has succeeded in getting his ideas accepted and the mach inery created for putting them into execution
 Thus the entire Railroad Belt may look forward to banner year for 1880 with auguries for tinued and sustained prosperity than for many years
