UNCLE SAM'S $EALL.
A great deal of interest is being
taken in the conference of seal e,,ni-
missioners now being held hi the city
of Washington.
A very careful study has been made
of the life and habits of the scats on
account of the dispute between this
country. and England as to the right
'o^ take seals in the open sea. It has
been found that soon after the ice dis-
appears from Behring Sea in the -
spring the seals come up out of the
water swimming from a southerly
direction.
The old male seals appear several
weeks before the others, As soon as
the first come ashore tben select their
favorite spots and then begins a con
tinuous series of battles with the
tardy ones to maintain possession of
the, ground ehosen. This fighting
goes on night and day until the „fe
males arrive. Each of the males will
then collect as many of the females
as he can defend, The presence of
young males, that is, those less than
about four or five years of age, is not
tolerated. at all, They live by them-
selves on one side of the mainland.
The young are born on the land, and
when a few weeks old are driven in-
to the shallow water by the mothers
and compelled to learn to swim. If
born at sea, they would immediately
drown.
Continual vigilance is the price of
domestie sovereignty, and the father
of the family never leaves his post of
duty, For four months he guards
his flock faithfully without eating or
drinking. When he comes from the
sea in spring he is enormously fat,
but in the autumn, at the elnse of hie
long fast, he it; reduced to a mere
shadow of his former self.
On the other hand, the females go
to the sea daily in search of food,
sometimes travelling as far as a hun-
dred miles front home, When they
return they utter a peculiar cry to at
tract the attention of their young.
This is instantly recognized and as
swered. The mother can distinguish
the voice of its own offspring•, even if
in the midst of' ten thousand other
young seals. It goes to it at once,
and it will never ' pay any attention
t -t or permit the approach of any but
its own young. •
DRIVING SEALS.
The young male seals, which live
in colonies by themselves, are the
only ones permitted by law to be kill-
ed. They are driven like flocks of
sheep back to the killing grounds.
The taking of mod: rate numbers of
these will not tend to destroy the col-
ony, as when fully grown each male
seal will collect a family of perhaps
forty females.
Formerly the Alaska Commercial
Co, took 100,000 skirls each year, and
for this privilege it paicl the Govern-
ment $2.50 per skin, When this con-
tract expired, the Government re-
fused to r�,enew it on the same terms.
A new Canipany, called the North
America Commercial and Trading
Company, was given the privilege of
taking seals, paying the Government
$100,000 per year in addition to a tax
of $9.62, on every skin taken.
The colony has been so reduced in
size b,e pelagic sealing that only about
20,000 seals are killed on the islands
each season. When the seals leave
the islands in the fall they pass
through the Aleutian Islands and o,
to the broad Pacifie, as far down as
opposite San Fransisco. Thee) then
turn eastwardly towards the coast,
and • then turn up the coast to the
breeding grounds for eight or nine
months; when on their journey they
never go .ashore anywtere. They
are never seen to leave the water ex.'
eepting on St. John and St. George
of the Pribiloff group.
It is upon this fact that cur
Government bases its right to prevent
pelagie sealing. The United States
claims to own the seals wherever
found, beeausethev breed on our
Soil and always return to our soil at
the end of their sea journey.
The Canadian seal hunters tint out
to sea in boats, head off the rettiirn-
ing herd and shoot them indiscrim
irately, male and female, old and
young. If they do not instantly kill
the seal bit, it sinks below the surface
and is lost. This practice has in a
few years so redueed the herd that ft
is now very much deereased, and the
seal promises to follow the buffalo in-
to oblivion. It has been proposed, if

If egg shells are fed to fowls they
should be crushed very fine, other-
wise the egg eating vice may be in-
troduced into the poultry yard.
Lime will kill lice; it is a geed dis-
infectant; it will purify the air. It
will make the poultry house clean
and free from vermin of all kinds.
Blue Mold in the Silo.
The blue mold is canted by a lack
of moisture. It is of•the same nature
as "fire fanging" in a manure heap,
and the cense is the same. In order
to prevent it in the silo cut the corn
before it is quite so mature, as it
contains more moisture then than
later. Or if it is very ripe it can be
sprinkled while filling. A good way
to do this is to provide a barrel filled
with water and so arranged that a
spray will fall on the eat feed as the
carrier conveys it to the site. Many
advocate and practice allowing the
corn to stand until rather ripe and
then moisten it as described while
filling.
Repairing promptly attended to. pelagic sealing cannot be otherwise
stopped, to kill all the seals on the
Snor—diagonal St. opposite I3eattie's land, and so end the controversy by
Livery. exterminating the race.

Advice.
Half breed chickens, where Ply-
mouth males at'e used, will grow course, means good f d' b t b
faster and reach the broiler size
sooner, than dunghills. They will
also be larger and finer fowls at ma-
turity.
Geese cost very little if allowed the
liberty of the fields, with access to a
pond or stream with its usual vege-
tation. To attempt to make thein
profitable otherwise the result will
be questionable.
All that a farmer has to do to in-
augurate a system of improvement
in his poultry is to kill off every
scrub cock and replace them with
thoroughbreds; next season they
will all be half breeds, a long step
ahead.
Cholera never bothers ducks,
neither do roup nor gapes. Hawks
do not molest them. They lay more
eggs and will hatch better than hens.
With good feeding they can be made
to weigh five pounds in 10 weeks af-
ter hatching.

Professor Curtis on page 652 of the
June number of Farming for 1897.
Many farmers did notget as many
feeding cattle this fall as they want
ed to, because they were too seat't:e
The quality of those offered ttnd tne
price combined made it so that the
margin for profit was very narrow,
Why nct feed good calves? Once
the calves get a good start, can eat
bay, and lick meal, they do not re-
quire such a large quantity of' milk
as is usually feel. Hunt up the right
kind of calves, feed them right, and
see if there is not profit in baby beef,
There is no good reason why the
family flock of poultry on every farm
in the land should not be graded up
to a high quality by cross.ng with
pure bred males ; at this season of
the year thousands of pure bred
cockerels are for sale at reasonable
figures.
Every poultry raiser should have a
hatebing house, be it ever so small ;
if v. little dark, so lunch the better.
Any place will do where the hens
may sit in peace and quietness, pro-
vided it be clean and the floor covered
with loose soil, a little moist rather
than dry.
