ST. LOUIS GETS ALASKA SEAL CATCH 1 t The United States Government J through Secretary of Commerce Redfield *«■» just made a decision that will c make St. Louis the for center of the world. * That is, to change the sale of all * the Government catch of seal skins, e foxes and other Alaska furs from Lon- c don to St. Louis. This is the first time in history that the American sea catch has been marketed -through American channels, ' and the action of Secretary William C-. Redfield is regarded by the commercial organizations and bureaus of commerce ' ' with great favor. J The United States thus will dispose ^ of several thousand raw seal skins con- 1 f stituting the 1913 catch. And under j the protecting laws favoring ' the in- j crease of seals, the sale will increase j many fold in the coining few years. 1 The next step will be the removal ( from London to St. Louis of seal skin [ 1 tanners and dyers, establishing in 1 America a great new manufacturing in- j « dustry. i 1 Thus will a trade of great proportions f be fostered. But more than this ! ' it will mean the elimination of the present heavy duty now paid on dressed 1 and dyed skins prepared in Europe; | ' while the skins will be dressed and j dyed in America just as well, if not > better, according to the statement of the I r "'•7"" "

The economy thus effected by this industry and by the absence of the former heavy duty will eventually mean a saving of several hundred dollars a garment to milady in the purchase . of the aristocrat of all furs. t The Government furs, by the deci sion of Secretary of Commerce Redfield, ■ will be sold at public auction by Kunsten Bros, and Oo. of St. Louis, who are . eminently qualAed for the responsibility. i The first sale is scheduled for some < time in December, at which time the representatives of the great furriers of America and Europe will assembele at the Funsten Fur Exchange where this wonderful colection of seal* skins will ] be sold to the highest bidder. Philip " B. Fouke and A. M. Ahern of Funsten's | will conduct the sale for the- St. Louis I 1 Some Seal History The history of the seal it one of the most absorbing and romantic of all the ' great American industries. While the S. Government has produced wonderfully interesting books on the subject, and which can be had free of charge, I the whole country will be interested in ! few facte bearing on the seal history , of North America, especially in the 1 light of the recent action of -the Dc1 part men t of Commerce, which stamps | St. Louis as the fur center of the world, The price paid to Russia for the whole of Alaska was $7,000,000. The I from the seal islands alone — (rough, barren, forbidding spots that

comprise but an infinitestimal arear of the Alaska map, has been $15, 000, 000 more than twice the sum paid for the entire teritory. This area comprises the Pnbilof Islands discovered in 1786 by the Russian Navigator whose name the islands bear. . It is the seat of the most important fur seal colony in the world. Next in importance is the Commander herd owned by Russia, while the Kuril herd owned- by Japan comes third. During the first year of Uncle Sam's possession, the catch was about two hundred to 300,000 seals, but the herd has diminished so considerably that as a result laws have been enacted by which the herds will be conserved and future catches increased. This great diminution of the herds | has been the result of pelagic sealing — the killing of seals in the open sea. Whole fleets would sometimes lay off the seal islands while their crews killed the female seals which swam out to sea seeking food. At sea the. sexes cannot be distinguished, and .Uie females predomjnating the pelagic catch is made up largely

i of this class, the percentage being from 85 to 95 per cent of females. The death of a female seal was not the only eviL | , She was out seeking food for her pup . which she had left on shore, so that j her death meant also the death of the ; , young one. i ' The United States, Russia. Japan and , Great Britain have made a pact which i stipulates that no longer shall the fur ( i seal be killed on the high seas. , KING OF THE HAREM. ( The seal is a polygamist. The larger | and stronger males have harems, ranging from 20 to 40 in number according ( 1 to the fighting strength of the "King of ' the Harem." One bull has been known j ! to have 200 cows in his harem. Naturally there is a large surplus of 1 mateless males whose one object in life , ' is to get a harem of their own en- j 1 tailing continuous warfare and bloodshed in which often the female is torn ' to pieces or maimed in the struggle for , . ownership. To kill off a goodly number 1 of these disturbing bachelors of the ■ herd is therefore necessary — not only • for the good of the herd itself but . - lso for the good of the skins, for ( . naturally a mutilated skin or an old one has but very little market value, j Nearly two years ago Congress made a law stopping the killing of seals entirely on U. S. Islands, for five years, j except seals needed for food by natives on the islands. While from the usual r standpoint of game- preservation this seemed a good tiling, zoologists and

experts on seal life are-, not in favor of it. They say that the ruling regard- j p ing the preservation of deer or grouse ^ Joes not apply to the seal. They claim that if the numbei of male seals is not ' kept down they will continue to fight ° and kill each other, und the pups and ' a females of the harem as well — that only | r a small percentage of male seals is b needed to increase the herd. But be- 1 sides this if the killing is closed for five ] years thousands of skinB will be lost, s because a skin older than four yeare , and a half is worthless. Scientific men 1 say that killing rightly governed., with j ' none on the open sea, will mean a quick growth of the herd. However, Congress decided the other . way, and closed the season far five I . years. The skins of the several thou- • sand seals killed under the law at food j . for natives are not to be sent to London j «4 formerly. Secretary Redfield has t ^ | ordered otherwise After a thorough j ^ ; investigation he has ordered that the j . entire quantity be sold in the United j 1 States. After a close study of the fur | ° markets of the world he selected Fun- i n sten Bros, and Co. of St. Louis to act as 1 j agents of the government in their dis- 1 .'. i posaL ' • posal.

I HOW IT AFFECTS PRICES I I In 1837 a seal skin fetched from $2 i to $3; in 1890, $17 to «30; while in 1009 the price reached the 840 mark. The prices on seal garments, however, have indicated a fictitious value, due to the heavy duty entailed by London shipments. and fur dealers have had to demand an exorbitant figure for an article which is a home product and ! should, and could have been, bought for ■ So naturally this signal recognition ' by the U. S. Government of the ' , commanding position held by St. Louis , in the furmarkets of the world cannot , fail to have its effect on the fur business , in this eountry as well as in time re- , . duce the price to the consumer. At the ! j present time St. Louis is the largest c primary fur market ha the world, aqd J , it is estimated that three- fourths of all j the furs trapped on the North American ! .

>f POULTRY HUSBANDRY - New Jersey is one of the most ex- | ie tensively equipped poultry States in the t I Union, having an investment of over I )f I $10,000,080 in stock and equipment, and c s- producing up on this investment every Is I year products valued at $5,500,000. With- , l- j in her borders are located some of the t d. great national centers of production as , >r the V in eland, Hammontoq and Hunter- i il don districts, where the production of , d. white-shelled eggs is the commercial aim. i 's Scattered throughout the State are k>- 1 o ' cated some of the largest specialized 1 •d poultry farms in . the world, notable it among these are the Raneooas or Million y Egg Earth at Brown's Mills, and the id Laurelto Farms at Lakewood on each of which about 15,000 layers are wintered. I Is In our own county there are several ' _ laige poultry farms. Surrogate E. L. ( l.

Just as soon as the petals fall from i | the peach blossoms an application of 1 . arsenate of lead, using three pounds of > ! tha paste, or one and one-half pounds ' , 1 of the powder, to fifty gallons of water, 1 i should be made to guard against injury < I ' from the plum curculio.

For further information write to the r Extension Department, State Experi1 1 ment Station, New Brunswick, New i j ' J J CRIMSON CLOVER During the past few years the value ' of crimson clover for soil improvement I has been fully demonstrated' in Delas ware, Maryland and parts of New Jer-.-. j ' aey. There is little doubt that crim- _ son clover is the cheanest and most is cheapest most I

, effective green manure crop that can j ' grown in these sections. Considering | 1 ' the season and the number of months j < the plant occupies the ground, the cost ' of seed, fertilizers and soil preparation, ' contrasted with the value of the crop- 1 removed and the effects on the soil, crimclover growing is highly profitable. • i The experience of hundreds of ; farmers has shown . that crim1 clover will produce a crop of hay rod leave the soil in a condition of i fertility equivalent to applying twelve loads of stable manure per acre. Howj ever, on land of low fertility the entire | crop is turned under. In order- to put i the soil in the proper physical condition It has been found best to plow under j the clover for a few seasons. ! Adaptation.— Crimson clover is especj ially well adapted to the climatic condi- j tions of the states mentioned above. I The mild, even climate, with the absence 1 of sudden and extreme changes of tcm- ! perature, favors the best development , of the plant. The amount and distribu- ' 1 tion of the rainfall during the summer - ' months insure the prompt germination j i of the seed during the heated portion of ' the year. The open winters allow the j 1

j clover to make some growth every month which is an advantage in conserving the 2 fertility of the soil and in preventing ; n blowing and washing. The lpngth of 1 •• the growing season is such that crim- ; • son clover may be followed by other ' crops, which in turn may be seeded to clover again in the fall. Also, a seed I ' crop of rrimson clover may be removed I 'j in time to grow a crop of corn or late ' | ,-.-fafoea. WHY EGGS ARE DEAR ' A special representative of the National Department of Justice, who is in this j vicinity investigating the alleged cor- j I ner in eggs, has collected some informs- ! tion of interest. For example, he finds 1 • thai the total cold storage of eggs here j ' this year was 3,098,900 cases of thirty ! 1 dozen each, while last year tie storage ! 1 j 3,446,200 cases. i ' This in a measure accounts for the 1 ! present scarcity and high price of eggs. ( [The bf*t4 Md drought in the Middle 1 , West "last summer reduced the egg yield « and the early snow cut off the later wp- e |-tfy.*> thffe is a shortage at the soaree 1 Wdl as n storage, lie storage should B t.V .y- ^ , ; §|ilSi§^ ° iat,. '

So far there is no indication of any plan that will bring relief for the consumer. Eggs wiH be high in price until hens arc done moulting and settle ^ down to the business of laying again. As the Jersey Journal has on more , ban one occasion stated, one of the | causes for the egg famine is that not i enough egge were placed in cold storage • summer' to tide over the scarce sea- < son when hqns do not lay. If the lawregulate this phase of the storage ® it will be able permanently to ^ up monopolies in eggs. — Jersey Journal — - ju • NOTICE THE TREES IN WINTER c In the January Woman's Home Com- t panion Frank A. Waugh writes an j article, "Finding Happiness in Winter's Garden." Following is an interesting « extract: "Now the big trees, which are the ' central feature* of the summer gar- ' dens, are scarcely leaa beautiful in | winter. The dignified outlines of their ( the effects of size and permaare as great now as then. The | interesting individualities of trunk, and I mtim-'ibIIv nf tbp trarprv nf hnindiM. nr. are

evident during winter than in the leafage of summer. In short all our summer trees are juat as good in the winter garden, and if we have not usualseen so much in them it is only beour eye* were blinded, and our hearts hardened, and we did not look with sympathy. "There are some trees more pleasing than others, of course, in their winter, costumes. The good domestic apple tree, for example, is one of the most picturesque and desirable. The wild crab apples, too, and the native hawthorns, have a most jaunty and attractlook with their horizontal anowcovered - branches. The oaks are admirable winter trees; and the plane trees with their white scaling trunks make pleasing sketches against the snow or against the winter Bky. The various birches ought to be especially mentioned and everywhere planted for winter effects. Most people are fascinated by the brilliant picture of the white trunks amidst summer foliage. i but the artistic effect against the snow is more pleasing and refined, juat because is offers a lees violent contrast. The American paper birch is usually the best of those having white bark, the European species being subject to , serious insect attacks and being, aside ; from this, wholly inferior in point of • grace and beauty. Then there ia the . yellow birch with ite shaggy, ahreddy . bark, one of the very finest of the t genus, though it succeeds only in cold succeeds only in cold

I moist soils. The black birch, too, though a very common sort of tree in I the eyes of thoughtless persons, has its own qualities of beauty, coming into special emphasis where it shows along the borders of the winter woodlands." PLANTING TREES WITH DYNAMITE Dynamite, so extensively used in excavating and mining operations, is now being strongly recommended for agricultural purposes, such as breaking up i pM, subsoiling, digging ditch e^, blowing out stumps and planting fruit trees, i The horticultural department of the ; State Experiment Station started inveai ligations in planting trees with dynamite > last spring and will continue the work this year. The results last year were] quite strongly in favor of the dynamite. ] . but of course conclusive results 'cannot ' , be obtained in one season.
