FARMING FOR ALASKA
' All the world know of the wonder
ful cures which hare been made by
Lydia . Plnkham'a Vegetable Corn
Sound, yet aome women do not realise
that all that ia claimed for it is abso
lutely true.
If all suffering women could be made
to believe that Mrs. link ham can do
all she says she oan, their suffering
wonld be at an end, for they would
at onee profit by her ad rice and be
eared. ...
There is no more pusiling thing than
that women will suffer great pain
month after month when every woman
knows of some woman whom Mrs.
Ftnkham haa helped, as the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request
The same derangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, and
dragging-down sensations, presently
develop into those serious inflamma
tions of the feminine organs which
ompletely wreck health.
Mrs. Finkham invites women to
rite freely and confidentially to her
boat their health and get the benefit
of her great experience with the suf
ferings of women. No living person
so wen. iso remedy in
the world baa the magnificent record
f Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Corn
sound for absolute cures of female
Ills. Mrs. Pinkham'a address is Lynn,

One of the important repoits which
has just been submitted to congress by
the secretary of agriculture and ordered
to be printed deals with . the agricul
tural investigations In Alaska. It is
important because it brings out some
facts in regard to the agricultural capa
bilities of our vast Northern territory,
which will astonish those who have re
garded it as a useless ice box, which at
most, was valuable only for the gold it
might contain or for the fur and fish it
yields. ; ,. t :
These investigations, as far as they
have gone, indicate that it has latent
capabilities which, when developed,
may sustain a large population and
make it a prosperous state. And why
notr The little country of Finland,
which lies between Sweden and Kuaeia
in the same latitude and is less than
one-tonrtn the size ot Alaska, has a
population of 2.500,000 and exports
both grain and livestock, as. well as
vast quantities of dairy products. The
author of the report, Professor C. C.
Georgeson, who has charge of the in
vestigations, brought to Washington 1 1
varieties of spring ..wheat, a dozen
varieties each of barley and oatos, and
also rye, buckwheat and flax, all ot
which had matured at the experiment
stations at Sitka and Kenai, in the
Kenai peninsula. The report states
that red clover lived through the winter
at Sitka, made a luxuriant growth
and matured seed, and that vetches
and other forage plants did equally as
well. All of the common hardy veget
ables were grown to perfection, some
cauliflower at Kenai measuring 14
inches across the head.
A statement by the superintendent
of the Alaska Commercial Company in
regard to his company's experience
with livestock at Kadiak is of more
than passing interest, beoause it reveals
possibilities in the stock industry
whioh are bound to be of much impor
tance in the future development of the
countiy. The company has for many
years kept cattle, sheep and Angora
goats on some of the small islands near
the town of Kadiak. On one of these
islands it was not found necessary to
feed or shelter the cattle at all, winter
or summer. Year in and year out they
lived in the open and were maintained
soieiy Dy ue native grasses, which are
abundant in all of Southwestern
Alaska. The herd increased yearly
aoout vo per cent ot the breeding cows.
A nock of Angora goats increased 60
per cent annually and gave" Tery ' good
results in mohair. A flock of sheep
has been kept for the past 16 years on
pasture, the year around. Ihe in
crease was something over 60 per cent,
and the clip averaged about five
pounds of wool per head yearly. There
seems to be no doubt that animal hus
bandry can be successfully prosecuted
in different parts of Alaska.
Land for agricultural experiment eta
hons has been reserved at three places
in the coast region; namely, at Sitka,
Kadiak and Cook Inlet, and develop
ment work was begun the past season
at Sitka and Kenai. A headquarters
Duuaing was erected and partially com
pleted at Sitka. It is to contain
offices, laboratory, library and quarters
lor tne person in charge. Most of the
scientific work will be done at Sitka.
The stations are equipped with work
oxen and all the tools necessary for
pioneer farming. The report enumer
a tea also the lines of experimentation
which are of chief interest to that
country. They include those which
relate to the improvement of the soil
the selection and improvement of small
grains, experiments with vegetables,
tne introduction of fruits and ex peri'
ments relating to the various branches
pf livestock industry, ; ; ,

itleh Claims la tho Klondike Country-
Aosthetlolem In Mining Camps,
Some one said that man first works
for bread, then for butter on hit bread,
anu win exnaust Himself to get sugar
on the butter. There is a areat deal of
truth in the remark; at least as far as
miners are concerned.. They want the
best when they have the price. They
are not so exacting so far as flowers
and perfumes go. They are not aesthio
in their tastes and inclinations, but
they want good clothing, good board,
good magasines and books and good,
comfortable homes or lodgings. They
can rough it when necessary, take
their bacon and beans as their every
day diet, sleep where night overtakes
mem ana never whimper, growl or
grumble at their fare. They are niln
era and take life as they find it. not
as they would wish it to be. Of
course, they enjoy their bread, but will
take butter on it if ther can eet it. aud
will have the sugar if it doesn't cost
too much.
Hut a miner's life, and his custom
and habits do not lead him in the
direction of aesthetidsm. He Is a gen'
tleman, but not a dude. He may be a
little rough in his wavs and blunt in
his language, at timas, well-meaning
aud kind-hearted ttnd disposed to do
the right thing under all clroum
stances. Ha may appear stern and uu
yielding, but it should be borne in
mind that the miner is forced to meet
and overcome stern and apparently un
yielding conditions in his daily avoca-
tlons. These conditions often find ex
pressiou in his demeanor.
