If people interfered blockade. I with each other last fall so as to cieate It has been generally understood a blockade on both trails with leea than that it was foolish to go up to that country earlier than March with the expectation of crossing the passes, and that one who did so would simply I ob ject himself to a long wait, to needees hardship and possible sickness whilo consuming supplies which should be kept for service in the gold fields. Not withstanding this fact, travel begun in January and has continued through February, an average of steamer a day having landed men and freight at Dyea and Skagway. Those who took this early start did so because they feared a blockade and were anxious to get over the summit, expecting to wait at the lake, for the opening of the river to navigation. The blockade they hoped to escape baa come upon them and they are not over the summit Many have spent a month of hardship nd toil and are worse off because of it than are the newest arrivals There are not less than 30,000 people in Dyea and Skagway encamped along the trails as far as the weather condi tions have permitted them to advance, only a few miles at the most. The quantity of supplies, outfits, boats, ma chinery, eta. averages not leas than a ton to each man. This average will be kept np dnring the month of March, nd by tha first of April, when the work of getting over the summit will begin in earnest, moderate estimate of the number of men and quantity of freight that will be assembled there ia 60,000 person, and 60,000 tons of freight. 9 i The only thing that has been accom plished, on the Skagway trail to make it more passable than it was last sum mer has been the building of some .-u1i K: 1 a - . !

The indications are that the Skagway trail will not be materially better than it was last summer, when it was block aded and rendered practically impaa sable by 8,000 or 4,000 people and their outfits. Of course, as long as the snow lasts in the spring the trail will be a better one than when the traveler has encounter mud and boulders, which were such an obstacle a year ago. I As fcr the trail from Dyea, which ia the oue experience baa proved to be me Desi, two tramways are are unaer i construction for the transportation of I goods. One of these has a tram rail-' road from Dve la the han of tha nm- ' mi ridge, and an electrio bucket eys- tern across the summit to Lake Linde mann.

Neither of these enterprise is ready for opera tion, and the possibilities ar that they will not be before the first of April. When in complete operation, their com bined capacity will not exceed 400 tons per day. Assuming that by the use of pack animal 100 tona per day could be taken over the White pan from Skagway, this leaves the total capaoity of all facilities provided for both passes at 600 tons per day. IMS means 1 0U days for transporting 60,000 tons that 6,000 people attempting to go over, it does not require a great flight of im agination to see the utter blockade that . would be created by 60,000 people. f One who intends to go to Alaska may well stop and consider what his chances aielikelv to be in snch mob, and Whether he would not do better to seek st. Tie other route or some other objec tive point than the Klondike region. Of course, transportation facilities from the coast ports to Alaska have been provided for Dyea and Skagway, but doubtless as soon as this blockade so develops that intending gold hunters demand to be taken somewhere else, steamer, will leave the Dyea and Skag way routes and seek other porta, snch as Copper river and Cook's inlet At these places there is room for all. No narrow canyon trail confines the gold hunter to a particular route, bnt there ia opportunity to spread out over wide expanse of country, now practic ally unknown, but reported to be rich in gold. There are said to be low passes through the mountains from both Copper river and Cook's inlet, leading over to the Tanana and to the head waters of Birch creek, by which the now promising gold fields on the American side of the line may be more easily reached than by the route across the Chiltcoot pass and down the lakes and rivers. The government is now fitting out an expedition for Copper river. Undoubtedly these routes will be opened up the present season by prospectors even should not the great t stream of travel be turned in that direc tion.

Be- ........ ... ... yona aouot mm tendency win rapid ly inorease as the crowded condition of the passes becomes better known. At present the only facilities for reaching Copper river and Cook', inlet is the United State, mail boat operated by the Pacific Coast Steam Whaling Com pany from San Francisco, the. two small steamers now on the route from Portland to Copper river, and the small steamer running from Port Townsend to Copper river. These steamers are already inadequate to meet the demand and doubtless more will soon be put on the route. Attention baa also been turned in the direction of the route by Fort Wrangel and Stickeen river. Telegraph creek an1 Teslin lake. bnt as yet, facilities have not been provided. Several small river steamer, are being con structed for the Stickeen river, to ply between Fort Wrangel and Telegraph creek,, which is the point of disembark ation for the overland journey of the 160 miles to Lake Teslin. On this stretch of ISO miles it is proposed by a Canadian company to construct a ral- road the present year nnder a special grant from the Dominion parliament of j 20,000 acres of land per mile, and the time set for its completion is the first of September. It i. thus seen j that, for this season at least, only such travel can go over the Stickeen route a. can be handled by pack animals, and this, of coarse, cannot be very ex- 1 tensive. Poesiblv several thousand people will attempt this route, with the probability that a large portion of them will make a failure of their effort Should this railroad be built and a sufficient light draught steamer be placed on Lake Teslin and Iloota- i iinqua river, in anomer year me suu een route would be the favorite one. I Undoubtedly a great many who in , tend to go to Alaska are waiting to take the . ocean and river route during the summer months.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS THINGS PERTAINING TO THE FARM ANO HOME. How to Educate a Good Dairy Cow Carina- for Poultry In Winter-Coat ofRaialnaCora-Valneof Clean Milk' tug-Farm Note. A Good Dairy Cow. In his address at the Indiana State Dairy Association, Mr. Goodrich stated that educating an animal to become good dulry cow must brglu with the young calf. Muaclo-foruilng foods should be fed. such aa brnn, nil meal, cklm milk, etc, Educato the ralf to eat muscle-forming foods n. much aa possible. Begin to feed the calf wit skim milk and a spoonf ul or two of oil menl. Then give a few whole otits to follow. Nice clover hay should U available. Feed skim milk six months or so. Wants animal to come In milk t two years. Give hotter a good box tall and pleanty of straw to calve In. After calving give her warm watrr not cold. Take calf away gradually ay In two or three day. After calv Ing, feed for a while only little grain and then depend niotttly on bran. After two weeks can begin to feed to full capacity. Feed a variety. Deslrab'e to have a balanced ration as Dearly s can lie. Quotations were given from the Wisconsin Bulletin of one hundr feeding rations, showing how soiu so-called successful feeders combine dairy cattle foods. Mr. Goodrich has found production of two pounds of coarse food to one of concentrated aa moat satisfactory. Succulent food. are Important. Of Woll'a one hundred feeders, alxty-flve fed ensilage and two roots. If we cannot have green grass should feed either ensilage or roots Haa paid Mr. Goodrich to feed a tittle bran or corn meal In summer. His cow. produced fifty pounds more but ter per animal the summer when fed grain than did the summer before when no grain was fed. His grain cost $3 to $13 was derived from the butter, showing a good balance in favor of the grain. Don't feed every cow alike. Mr. Goodrich's standard feed Is thirty- two pounds silage, five pounds clover hay. five pounds corn stover, eight pounds wheat bran and two pounds cottonseed meal. Lighten up on feed of some cows aad Increase on others, If she glvea more milk by more feed- -t. Increase. Indiana Farmer. Winter Poultry Directions, In order to get early eggs some extra feed In addition to the ordinary ration generally given by fanners I. needed. As a rule the trouble on the farm is that after corn Is gathered there to an overabundance of grain lying around, and lu consequence the fowls become too fat All farmers have bay to spare, at least they should have, and few pounds per week fed to hens will great ly increase the egg production. Clover hay Is beet, but any kind Is good. Feed aa follows: Cut Into as abort lengths as possible (Vi to V4 Inch), and In the evening fill 2 gallon bucket fall, cov er and place on the kitchen stove and allow it to boll as long aa there Is lire. When the morning fire Is built allow the hay to beat again, then drain off the water and mix with the hay three quarts of wheat bran or enough to make It crumbly. This will make near Ir iu gallons of feed. Give It to 100 hens as a morning feed. Remember, this Is for cold weather and for fowl. that are at liberty on the farm. In the evening late supply what they will consume of corn one day, and oats next and so on. Be sure to give plenty fresh water every day, and on very cold mornings It Is a good Idea to make the water slightly warm. If you do not. It will freeze at once and be of no service. Be sure the hen-bouse has good tight ends and aide, and always front the bouse to the south. The warmer the fowls are In winter, with out supplying artificial heat, the more eggs they will lay and the earlier tbey will become broody. If egga are wanted for hatching pur poses do not have too many cocks. One male to fifteen hens for the farm Is much bettor than two. If all run to gether. Dispose of all hene that are past the profitable age, which Is, gen erally speaking, 8. years, and do not ex pect fertile eggs from cocks 4 to 6 years old. It la best to use either 1 or 2 year old males. North Carolina. Ex periment Station Bulletin. Coat of Balalng Corn. The public see the leading statement, made and circulated on supposed good authority, that corn can be raised at the "surprisingly low cost of six centa a bushel; and the majority of the peo plethose who know nothing about the cost of raising corn nsgunio that about all the farmer gets over six centa a bushel for his corn is clear gain. Will the corn-grower thank any one for giving currency to such assump tion? The best posted," who have tnken the trouble to wade through the long array of figures and explanation, to get down to the conclusion that It cost, only six cents to raise a bushel of corn, have thought, perhaps, that the moun tain had labored bard to bring forth such a mouse, for the Insignificance and wortblessness of the result are made strikingly manifest by the clos ing short paragraph of guesses at eith er Items that should be reckoned In, which run the cost up so that "corn can not be profitably grown to sell at very much less than three times that figure (six cents). The really "best posted" are those who bare raised corn for many years, and they know that coat of production varies widely ac cording to character of the seasons and the soli good weather and big yields reducing cost, and bad weather and light yields Increasing it and that to attain approximate accuracy an aver age must be taken of expenses and yields for several seasons and on va rious soils. German own Telegraph. Value of Clean Htlklac A man of my acquaintance who gen erally did his own milking employed a boy. The milk shrank one-third In two weeks. The farmer resumed milking, and In two weeks got the same amount as before. Afterward be set the hired man to milking, and the milk shrank 10 per cent In two weeks, and in two weeks more, the farmer milking again, was back at the standard.

Its great drawback Is the loud nolxe made by the nmles. They Wake good pet. and will become very tame. It Is necetuwry to protect the young birds from wet and cold the earns a young turkeys. They live fron, tweuty to twenty-five years. Their habits are restless, and nono should be kopt if there arc near nedghbor. They can be restrained somewhat by compelling the mule bird to wear upon hi. leg cord attached to a block of wood. There Is some demand for pea fowl stock from owners of fine estates and park mana gers. The best way Is to gtt some eggs and hatch them under hens. Massa chusetts rioughman. rpraylns In Winter. Aa recent annual convention of the Fruit Growers' Association Profeeeor Fletcher strongly recommended spray ing fruit tree during the winter. The spores of the various fungi rwit on the Umbo and twlgt as well a on the leave. When the leaves are on the tree It ta Impossible to get spray on to thejlmb ami twigs. The beet time to do this kpraylng Is during the win ter. It could be done any time when most convenient, but the best time Is toward spring when vitality Is return ing. If the trees are sprayed during the wluter better resulta will be ob tained as the result of spraying after the leaves are out. Prof. Taft, of Mich igan, and others also very strongly recommended winter spraying. How to Select a Calf. An Engl to h fanner claims to have made discovery which Is valuable If his claim Is well founded. Aa la well known, It to difficult to select the calf at birth for Its future usefulness as a milker, yet be asserts that it ran be done. He states that on the inner side of the cheeks, near the corner of the mouth, may be observed the palps, which have different form, according to whether the calf will be a good, medium or Indifferent milker. If the palp, are large, broad and flat they give, large quantity of milk. If they are only round the milking qualltlos will be only ordinary. If pointed, the milk yield will be small. The "palp" Is not defined, but Is probably a portion of the mouth raised above the smooth surface that can be felt or Is plainly distinguished. Bt Results from Meadow. The Michigan experiment station found after repeated teats tliat about four times aa much food can be ob tained from a nieaoow by allowing it to mature hay than by pasturing It Thka means that four cows can be ke;t on the land by growing bay ituttaad of pasturing It; or, to show It in another light, four times as much land Is re quired for pasture as Cor tiy, for the arne number of cattle. Green food Is given by growing soiling crops, but in willing from two to three times the number of cows can be mu hi tallied than by pasturing. Point In Plawtn;. Farmers uae the cultivator for plow; that is, tbey cultivate deep, with fine object of loosening the soil between the rows. If the ground Is to be brokeu up, the plow to the thing to do it with, but two tochea Is sufficient dpth for cultivation. Grtms and weeds should never be allowed to grow to a height to demand "plowing" with cultivator. Keep the soil loose and never allow grase or weeds to more Chan sprout above ground. Deep cultivation fre quently does harm in dlatwblng the roots of the plants grown as a crop. Bngar Beata for Btoclc. While some of the farmers In New York claim that the profits on sugar beeta sold at the factory were small, It seems that tbey have not yet used the pulp, or "begaase" to advantage, prob ably not having prepared themsiilvea with sufficient live stock. One farmer, however, who grew a large number of beets, retained some of them for use, and finda that It will pay to grow them as food for stock, provided the snlmals are first-class producers. Can Not Improve on Nature. Nature', method of feeding hem Is a grain at a time, and constant search ing ard scratching during meal time. This method we should Imitate aa far aa possible. Farm Journal. ' G'Snaias. To prevent disease of potatoes add 2 ounces of corroalve sublimate to two gallons of hot water. Allow It to stand half a day; then add the solu;lnii to twelve gallons of cold water. Wash the potatoes so as to free them from dirt and Immerse them In the so'utlon, to remain two hours; then dry them and cut for aeed. One having a fancy for preserving natural flowers may do so by dipping them into melted pa ratline. The mix ture should be only warm enough to remain fluid. Hold the flowers by the stems, which should be free from all except the natural moisture; dtp them In the fluid, give them a quick turn to remove the air cells, and place In a glass until the coating becomes firm. It la a pretty good rule thai the soon er a pig can be brought to 200 pounds and the sooner he can be gotten to market after reaching this weight, the greater will be the per cent of profit in feeding blm. Aside from the risk of cholera, etc., it has been shown that the gain above 200 pounds costs more, and that even with pork bringing good prices, mere ib orten an actual loss In feeding above 250 pounds. Sandy soils are always deficient in potash. Even if they had this mineral they have usually so little vegetable matter that cue potash forms an insol uble compound by uniting with tha sand. The potash In caustic ashes dis solves the silicate of potash, and also helps Itself until it caustic properties are lost. But old leached ashes are often quite aa beneficial to sandy soils aa are uuleached. They always con tain some potash and some phosphate, which the water used for leaching would not dleuolre.
