est. In the southern states fall plant
ing is q necessity, for this is the only
way TO give the plants cool soil in
which to make strong, early root
growth. Coming farther north, fall
planting is safe up to perhaps the lati-
tude of Washington, where the chances
are about equal between planting in late
autumn and in February. In southern
California peas must be brought into
bloom as early as February, although
the nights are SO cool there that they
may be planted during any month in,
the year. The rule observed by the
large seed growers is to plant just ahead
OF the rainy season. Indeed they have
acres of volunteer sweet peas-that is,
from seed which were scattered ON the
ground during the harvest-and 40
miles south of San Francisco these vol

FIERCE FIGHTERS.

What Hunters Who Have Met the Grizzly
Have to say of His Alaska Cousin-They
do Not Fear Man and Will Fight While

A traveller who recently returned from
Alaska says: 1.-THE Alaskan brown bear
is huge. shaggy animal, varying in
length from to IL feet and weighing
from 500 to 800 pounds. ! found him
to be an expert fisher, and during the
salmon season he frequents all the rivers
emptying into the Boring sea and the
north Pacific and their tributaries as far
as the fish go. After the salmon run is
over the animal retreats into the recesses
of the hills, where berries and small
game are plentiful Among other things
he does besides fishing and occasionally
chewing up hunter, he is great road
maker for this part of Alaska. Nor only
are the banks of the streams trodden into
good trails by these huge numbering
beasts, but the swampy plains are cross
ed in every direction by paths leading TO
the hills. The traveller will do well to
follow them in journeying across the
country, as they invariably lead to the
best feeding places along the stream and
form the best routes to the hills. "

there recently chasing brown bears
