alter the pigs are weaned and find they
do very well upon it. They have the
free range of the orchard.
Just before the sows are ready to far-

placed in separate inclosures for a week
or ten days previous to the time the
pigs aro due. 1 never feed any corn
for at least two weeks before farrow-

1 give the sow middlings, wheat bran
and other cooling feeds so as to keep
Iter in the best possible condition. She
also has access to plenty of fresh, clean
water. A fair average litter for this
breed Is from eight to ten and have
had some sows produce from 12 to 15.
i generally raise all the fall litter and
an average from one-half to three-
fourths of those farrowed in the spring.
1 have found it best to put pigs no-

them until after they are nine months.

The world's gold supply is ab.. olut'ly

tion of miners has leen entirely directell
t.) comparatively rich, easily worked de-
posits. 11u1 it has to be remembered
that gold in small quantities occurs in
enormous masses of rock throughout the
world.
Almost all volcanic rocks and the forte
nialions derived from them, such as gra.
nate, serpentine and rhyolite, contain
epprerlable quantities of gold, and vast
deposits of ;e(iimentary rocks derived
from such volcanic formations contain
gold in concentrated form, and are to-
day in some localities profitably worked.
Profit is and always has been the in-
centive to gold production. Should there
ever be need for working the volcani0
and sedunentary rocks that are aurifer-
ous the means of profitably working
them will bo found.
Experiments have shown that gold is
regularly falling to the earth, in asso-
ciation with cosmic dust, and day and
night settles ell overthe land and sea.
Some of this gold, when ooncenlrated
by wind or water, or dissolved by acid
surface waters and redeposited in a more
concentrated form, is recoverable.

also are auriferous, and there can be
little doubt that, If ever in the remote
future there should be an extraordinary
demand for gold, means could be found
for profitably reducing the gold in the
seawater.
The area of the sea-bed is much
larger than that of the land. Its com-
position Ls similar in every respect with
that of the land. It is composed of
mountains, plains end plateaus; of ig•
neous, metamorphic and sedimentary
rocks which contain great areas of gold
hearing and other mineral veins.
Only in a few instances, however,
swhero the submarine gold fields are
close to the land will it be passible to
work them as the submarine coal Melds
are now worked. But those oceanic gold
fields on which tho veins outcrop at the
surface are subject to constant attrition
by the waves. This causes the shedding
of gold, which is concentrated by the
sea and washed ashore.
Gold deposals thus formed exist In
runny countries, and they are remark-
able in that they are renewed or en-
riched by alrnost every storm that passes
over then. These deposits are known
by various names, but the term aur•ifete
ous beach sand sufTiciently describes
them. They occur in the Pacific beaches,
from Alaska to Terra del Fuego, and
throughout the coasts of Australia and
New Zealand, where they have Ione: -
been worked with profitable results.
The gold output from the gold -bearing
beaches at None, Alaska, this year 1s
expected to reach $4,000,000. The coact
between Cape Nome and Point Rodney
for a distance of more than twenty
miles is being worked for gold by

The beach is in places auriferous for a
width of 2,000 feet Inland from the tid
level and sometimes to a depth of 50
feet. From the western base of Capp
Norse there is a series of gravelly sea
beaches extending intend several miles,
which contain gold and are in places
being worked to -day. These marine dee
i,nslts yielded gold to the value of
02,200,0(9 in 1903, 0,185,000 In 190.1 and
e2,850,000 in 1005.
The earth has also immense deposits
of auriferous sands and clays. These
are chiefly In the at -id regions. In many
eounlries they are profitably worked by
dry blowing processes.
But experiments in Australia have
shown that much of the gold can be ex-
recled in these cores by u special arlap-
lallon of gold dredging known as the
paddocking process. These deposits. are
formed by the erosion of auriferous rock
formations end the concentration of the
gold by the action of wind and rain.
