1t is evident, according to Nansen,
that the waters OF the polar seas are far
from being deserted by living creatures
Wherever the sea is open or partially so
seals, narwhals and birds abound, and
on the heaps of ice near the edge of the
water the bears are numerous. Under

The explorers found in abundance little
crustaceans. whose discovery was the
result of an accident.
One day the cook sunk a piece OF
meat in hole which he had cut in the
ice with view of thawing it out. That
is a method often resortcd to for the
purpose of sparing the fuel. Forty eight
hours afterward, while taking out the
meat, the cook was astonished to find
an immense number of little animals
that dropped upon the surface of the ice
and commenced to jump about like
feas. Nansen, who is a professor of
zoology, had no trouble in recognizing
those little crustaceans, which may be
seen jumping IN the sand, ana which
are called sand feas. He was delighted
at the discovery, because the creatures
are good to eat, although they contain
but little nourlshment.

Removing Corn TasseIs,

We have never believed that it would
pay to detassel corn In order to save the
plant vigor and strength required to
perfect the male blossom. 1t would in
the first place involve too much labor,
and we could never see that the stalks
from which tassels had been removed
were any more prolific than others.
What used to be known as topping
corn, which means cutting off all above
the ear, Is a certain injury to the crop.
1t used to be done to let the sun reach
the ear. But the ear needed all the
foliage that the stalk was deprived of
in order to perfect its grain. Besides,
it has long been recognized that these
thin toppings Of corn have far less
sweetness and nutrition than has the
larger part Of the stalk below them. At
caring time the richest part Of the stalk
will be the middle, and as close to the
ear as possible. Give COW a cornstalk
and she will always begin in the mid
die. eating both ways till she comes to
less nutrition, and casting out the butt
and top ends as not suited to her taste.

Authorities on agriculture say that

1t may be sown among corn, tomatoes,
turnips, ETC.. at time of last hoeing, or
after potatoes, melons, cucumbers, have
been harvested, or ON grain stubble and

Data and Peas for soiling.

Pear B1iph {.

Pear blight is one Of those plant dis

strated, and yet it has left US precisely
where we were before as respects RENE
dial measures. In a word, the only
remedy when blight has stricken q

part and burn it; If the whole tree
seems affected, to dig it out and burn
it. l am not aware that any specific
applications are of any use except as
they may promote more uniform and
healthy development of the tree, thus
giving it greater resistance and making
it less susceptible to the attack Of the

Seckel pear has the reputation of be-
ing one of the most resistant varieties,
but it is not proof by any means, as

Blight varies somewhat in different
years. The reasons for this are un-
known, but appear to be due to more
favorable weather conditions some sea-
sons than others. Discouraging as pear
culture is. owing to the insidious char

There is some objection to millet

cannot be separated from the hay. This
can only be avoided when the millet
Is moved. The mistake is in allowing
1t to advance too far in growth be-
fore moving. The time to NOW miliet
is when the seed heads are beginning
to form.
If weeds are annual they will soon
