K era 1 tin Cider Rweet.
The usual plan Is to heat the cider
over a slow Are to 170 degrees and hold
It at that temperature for twenty min
utes to kill the genu that would start
fvrmeiitatlon. It I then put hot Into
Iwttles, Jugs or clean kegs nnd corked
tight nud the cork wired down. He
careful not to let the cider ImjII. as It
will greatly Injure the flavor.
Another recipe reads a follows:
Strain your elder Into the Imrrel and
allow It to stand until femientallon
gltiH, nnd then draw It off, rinse the
bnrrel nnd strain the cider back again.
Now take three-fourths of an ounce
each of oil of sasKnfras and oil of wln
tergrcen, put It In a pint of alcohol and
shake thoroughly and stir It well
through the elder. It I said the only
trouble In keeping thl Is that It Is too
good to keep, and Is soon consumed.

Clover !lft in fchtirt Rotation.
Clover Is nt Its best ns a fertilizer
when It has produced Its second crop.
Thl Is when It has grown two full
seasons. If kept beyond this lime
either weeds or grasses come In, ik
cording as the soil Is licst seeded with
these. Whoever keeps a field In clover
longer than two years lessen the crop
that can be grown after It. On the
other hand, a clover ley will rot down
the first season after It Is plowed, so
that It may be sowu with clover seed
the following spring. An old sod made
up from any of the grasses needs to be
cultivated two years before It Is ready
to reseed. Hence the smaller amount
of fertility It furnishes Is more thor
oughly exhausted by three crops on It
Instead of two, ns clover allows before
the land Is nguln being reseeded.
Stone Sled a for Winter Work.
The ordinary stone boat has uot tilt
enough In front to pass through or over
snow so that It cannot readily be used
In winter. In (dace of It many farm
ers have devised what they call a snow
sled, taking for the runners some stout
pieces of Jiurd wood, If possllde with
a natural bend ln them, and sufficient
ly lnrge to fasten supitortu Into, which
will make a platform 12 to 18 Inches
high. Such slods are very convenient
for huullug heavy weights upon, us
they are easily loaded. On many farms
such sleds are used In preference to
stone boats, even during the season
when no snow Is on the ground. They
draw more easily over the bare ground
than does the stone boat, and will us
unlly last fully as long.

In
the following manner, according to
correspondent In American Agricul
turist: On a very cold day pump up
some water unit lei u siuim uiuu it
commences to freeze, then take a pail
ful and wet the bottom and sides of
Icehouse thoroughly. A coating of Ice
will soon form. Hy repeating this a

formed, Into which wnter may be pour

one solid block iu the morning. It will
be quite a surprise to see what a large

In a personal letter, received in Port,

resKiii.rnt in Duwniu fur, he faTH,
among other things;
'The stones of the grent yield of
gold published in the United State
have not been enumerated in the least.
The mind is unnlde to grasp the real
situation, and f.prviute the sights that
are so common hero to every-ilay life.
In Dawson City today, ready for ship,
nient, are between four and five tout
of gold. Can you reulize that sunli a
thing is possible, or at all probable?
Just consider, too, that all that ia
aiHiiit one-third of the year' output.
Men handle gold ns you would a plug
of tobacco. At the saloon bar, the
stores, restaurant or other place o(
business, tho mines throw up their
sacks, and casually turn their backs,
never stopping to see if they are ac
corded irnxT weight. Would yon
think of hail. ling your pnrae over to a
Portland Innkeeper and allowing him
to take out the change?
"In many of the cabin along the
gulches where I have visited I have
seen shelve loaded down with nil
kind of can filled with gold, lu one
cabin on Kldora lo creek there are live
coal-oil can full of the yellow metal,
weighing nearly 1,200 pound.
"The Canadians are exercising the

There are two telephone lines
be-
tween Dyea and Limlemann.
T. 11. Needhain has just started the
Stickecn Kiver Journal at Fort Wrnn

neau that the people aro uot wearing
overcoats.
It ia eslimnted that tho carrying ca
pacity of Portland nnd Puget siund
steamers foots up 10,000 passengers per
month.
The luutlicr famine continues at
Dyea and Skagway, and prices rule f 3
to till. The dealers promise a supply
in a few days. Good weather for build
ing continues.
Colonel E. O. Lamphero and M.
P. Gilbert, of Chicago, cnptialists,
have purchased of a gang of Greek
miner seven gold quartz claims in
.Southeastern Alaska for f U'0,000.
A large force of men and teams are
getting out and delivering piles for the
Nowell wharf at Dyea. This wharf
will probably be the first of the three
wharves under construction to be com
pleted. An ordinary shack if there were
lumber to build it with in Skagway
will rent for $50 to f H0 a month. A
squatter' right on a lot not far ':o-s

J. M. Fowler's townsite scheme -tit
Lake Linderiiiaun, by which he hoped
to plat out all the aavilable land and
tux everybody f'i who put a tent on it,
has been knocked in the head by the
Canadian government, which has re
served this particular land for the use
of the public to put up tents and store
thcii goods thcro without charge.
J. Kav, of San Francisco, who took
cargo of lumber to Skagway on tho
Novo, says so great is the demand for
lumber that tiiey can hardly wait until
it is unloaded. Mr. Kay says that but
small per cent of tho hundreds of
people arriving at Dyea and Skagway,
intent on pushing on to Dawson, have
any conception of tho difficulties be
fore them. He predicts that conges
tion on the trails will be greater than
last season.
A com pan v, of which J. J. McKay,
the Yukon freighter and the man who
made the quickest trip ever made from
Dawson to Dyea during tho winter, is
the head, has been organized atTacoina
to run an express between thatoity and
Dawson. The company will oiieruto
steamers on the lakes, and from tho
Whito Horse rapid to Dawson, using
dog and horse trains in packing from
Dvca. It is estimated that the trip
from Taeoma to Dawson will bo made
in 18 days in tho summer and 25 days
iu the winter. The company will at
tempt to secure mail contracts. At
present mail is scattered all along tho
trail, and McKay asserts that he is the
only man who ever succeeded In de
livering mail on the Yukon during tho
winter.
Colleotor of Customs J. W. Ivey is
receiving a good deal of praite for his
vigorous policy in enforcing the laws
rearm Una the liquor tralnc as long
as the laws are in effect they will be
enforced. His vigilance in adzing
contraband stuff is attracting general
attention. The liquor men are growl
ing because be shipped away 20 tons
of the fltuff on the Elder. The new ad
ministration is making warm times in
the North, and, as a natural result, the
collector is cordially disliked by the
Juneau smuggling ring.
About every party of miners now fit
