BACK FROM THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
Success of the Expedition OF Field
Naturalist LOring.


J. Alden Loring. field naturalist to the
United States Department Of Agriculture
has returned to Winnipeg, Manitoba. from
a trip UP the Mcleod river to the jasper
Pass, within the Arctic circle. Mr.
Ioring leaves In few days for WASH
ington. 10 make out his report OF the
work accomplished in the Tar North.
He gave the following Information re-
garding his perilous trip:
INV object In visiting this district vas
to make a biological survey or the coun-
try and collect series OF animals that
could not be found elsewhere. ana In
this I was very successful. taking In all
over 800 specimens and filing Journal
with valuable information My trip oc'
cupied Just two months and haif' du'
ring which time travelled over so miles,
besides numerous hunting trips. on which
! shot two black and two cinnamon bears,
two caribou. and moose.
.Tbe first part of the trip was very
wet hut the weather afterwards was
very favorable. Several severe snow
storms however. hindered my work con
siderably. The scenery in the Jasper Pass
IL simply grand. On each side the noun
tains rise for thousands OF feet At the
head of the Maligne river We found a
canon fully 300 feet deep and not more
than Is feet wide. through which the
water rushes and boils for more than a
mile Near by are several hot sulphur
springs, which will undoubtedly be of the
greatest value when the country Is
opened up, If 1t ever is. The country
shows signs of great mineral wealth.
which needs only prospecting to unyeil.
The trip was a grand success. and my
only regret is that the prospects OF severe
cold compelled me to return"

More About Russian Thistle Ha,


X. G. CLIzBE, in Dakota Farmer.
Two years ago | had a piece of late
sown wheat. July Isl it was dried up
and choked with weeds, given up for a
crop. Five or six tons were cut, cured
and stacked in good shape. 1t con-
sisted of Pigeon Grass, wild ~buckwheat,
golden rod, wheat just heading, and
last but not least, Russian thistle. The
thistles We're green and tender when
cut-would not sting bare hands. This
hay was fed to sheep, colts and cattle.
Result, everything was eaten with
apparent relish except the thistle,
which was left by all. / did not try
the starvation plan to make my stock
eat the thistle.
The same year l put up several tons
of millet containing Russian thistle.
This was cut green. The thistle was
small straight stalks and being hustled
by the millet did not have time to
branch out and spread itself as it seems
to take delight in doing in corn, or
potato fields when left alone. Horses,
cattle and sheep all picked out the mil
let but would not eat the thistle, nor
have / ever been able to induce my
stock to eat it. in winter or any time
only when il is young and growing.
Perhaps l have not the right breed of
stock, pure bred Delaine Merino sheep,
Short Horn cattle, common or scrub
horses. The thistle might not have
been at its lest, a man could walk on
the stack. Perhaps l did not let the
plant get old and tough enough before
cutting; it might not have attained
enough of the woody substance and
other qualifications of an Irish thorn
bush, to be ~relishable.
i call il a curse. The way to exter-
inmate it is beyond my comprehension
and / believe is yet in the sweet by
and by. Thorough cultivation viii
keep il down so a crop may mature.
where is SO much u~noccupied land
There it will grow, the wind will seat

Those Congratulatory Letters.

Some n with a taste for figures
has calculated that it would take
Prince Bismarck, working eight hours
a day with unfinching regularity,
about eight months to read all the let
tiers, postal cards and kilograms of
birthday congratulations that have
reached Friedrichsruh. If he tried to
answer them all he would have to
spend another year and a half over the
job. Fortunately, he in an old man OF
too much common sense to attempt
either to read or to answer one-thOu-
sandth part of the messages that have
been sent him. The very great ma
jority of the senders have the salts
faction of rejecting that their good
wishes will serve to light a fire at
Friedrichruh any time during the next
twelve months, but that is about all.
If they think that the prince will ever
even see their letters or kilograms
they are making a great mistake.
Thus does the fussiness Of sentimental
busybodies succeed only in defeating
its own object.

Napoleon. Attention TO Details.

In these times of a Napoleonic craze,
