roauhuut-e kfeper, on the trail be
iw<>n Circle and Fairbanks, to
show, by his Indomitable energy,
that cattle raisins in the interior;

hard work, to take that industry j
out of the experimental stage and

enterprises.

! "Thus, I saw <i toady market far !
fresh mva* at good prices and for
cash, liui haw to supply that;
market became the uppermost ques
tion iu my luiuii. I set iiIkjuI to
find a practicable answer. I had
plenty of Ian J, which mean* fodder;
plenty of standing dry timber, which
means unlimited warm shelter; and
unlimited Rood water, right at my
hands. These three essentials ought
to produce meat, I thought, and I
be. can to study the question.
"I soon found out that I was
\ery far from being a pioneer in
that movement; that the govern
ments of 'lie United States, Canada,
Norway, Sweden and Denmark have
all experimented on that proposition
and made it work profitably. I
also learned, much to my surprise,
lhat *he climates in these various
countries, where cattle and hog
raiding is now an accepted industry,
is something similar to our own, and
that grasses and fuels are much
scarcer there than they are here.
1 decided to try, and have been
trying ever since I have now on
hand twenty-nine head of cattle and
ten head of hogs. More pigs and
calves naturally coming before the
spring. My method of wintering
the stock, with some few minor
changes, which this locality requires,
is practically the same as worked
out by various experiments all over
the world.
"The main feed is ensilage. There
is noUilng new or startling about
ensilage. In essence' it is nothing
rue-re or less than the good old
German sa'ierkrat.t. i am better
situated for putting up ensilage than
is any other caU#e raiser on the
Outside. The Slough grass through
out the interior of Alaska is very
rich, as any one who has traveled
up and down our rivers must have
noticed.
"I worked out ;i system which is
very inexpensive. I to up Birch
creek, and when I come to a good
looking slough, I mow (i'Jwn the
prase, cut down dry limbers, pin
the timbers into small rafts. having
a carrying capacity of about one
t^i each, lead the greep trass on
the rafts and fioat them down
the stream to a boom i.i front of
my place, jn--? a> you see lo^s
floating down to your sawmills.
I then pint the green sn%s in an
airtight building, sprinkle sa!t be
tween layers of gra.'?, the weight
of the gras-s doe- its own packing,
and round the -;".i ~?'i >u <? my barn
is built where :h-> cattle winter
and where I keep s fire during
the cold winter spe' . The timbers
fr n the rafts supply my building
ops and fuel frvr tho winter. In
' i > >ummrr, for almo-t five in nth*.
? cattle graze in the open
"This year 1 male a mistake
i not putting up enough ensilage,
depending too miKli on dry hay.
The cattle are very fond of the
ensilage, almost, seemingly, boTgins
for it, and do not do as well on
bay I expecte<l they would. Nat.
urally I shall try to correct tiiat
misuse next year. There are lots
of other details which must be
learned from year to year, but these
are too insignificant that cattle
raising is unlike wheat raising.
You cannot cut it down all in one
year and produce a new crop next
year. You must first develop a
producing herd before yen dare ap
ply the butcher's knife
"The market is unlimited. You
can drive your sto'k to the Circle
and Fairbanks mines during the
summer months without losing a
pound of flesh and kill the cattle
as they are needed. FYe^h pigs
and cattle can be shipped during
the winter months to Fairbanks
and there find a ready market. The
problem of raising stock in the In
terior profitably, white not yet com
pletely solved, seems to me to be on
a fair way of getting settled, and
soon- we will 1m> raising our own
meat as we do now our own vege.
table?."

A GLIMPSE OF WAR.
The Sen . it.on^ of a Yoing French
Solder Sedan.
We could sec the tiin ? find lines of
helmets, a but -itlii to see those
helmet spikes.
And I cannot retnemlier when It was
that there crept ihrotigh oar ranks
the feeling (hut those helmets were
not only In front of in. but in every
direction round nlioiit. iind that we
were surrounded. I suppose It came
from the sound of tiring coming from
so tnany directions.
It is at such a time that oue feels of
a helplessness And the noise? did I
tell yon of the noise > There were sin- j
pie booms and crashes of volley firing,
and then there would lie Just one groat
roaring, one great thundering, that )
deafened you and in which you could
not tell "lie sound from another.
There was smoke. smoke, every
where, ami the ground would tremble
when the cavalry mad* charge.
I would tell you all that 1 remem
ber of most interna. i Is it inter
esting to tell you I ti.it l.s burst and
that our ranks tiiiut.vd and closeil lip
and that I fell mo.e a-. I more that
we were to be beaten'?
1 would have v.e;it. I "it I had b*>
much to do In firir.^ rml la watching,

The Crop Failed.
The sharp wiltedness of the Rus
sian gypsies Is illustrated by a story
told In the Journal of the Oypsy Lore
Society. A gyp?y Induced a farmer to
join til id In sowing money, promising |
a large crop of rubles. Having first
sown a comparatively small a mount,
they got back each morning their cap
ital with some addition, much to the
delight of the farmer. Then they sow
ed a big sum and got back? nothing.
The farmer Itegan to blame the gypsy j
for advising him to sow money. The
gypsy answered. "Well, it s nol>ody a i
fault that there was a sharp frost ear- |
ly this morning."
Ths Rulir.g Passion.
Mrs. J. I,. Story in her reminiscences
tells of a lady relative who had all
her life been nfraid of damp sheets.
When she was dying Mrs. Story en
tered the room, to find the fireplace j
barricaded with a large assortment of |
bed linen. She was having her wind
ing sheet warmed.
??I never have lain in damp bed
clothes while 1 was alive." said the
old lady In a feeble whisper, "and I'm
not going to Co It when I'm dead."
