GOING TO SPITZBERGEN.

Why Spitzbergen. instead Of the North Cape
occur in connection with the new project. The
fact that ii is a visit 10 real Arctic scenery and
that the nearest point to temperate Europe at
which this can be enjoyed is In the SpitZbergen
Archipelago. In the first place the islands four
hundred miles nearer to the Pole than the North
Cape. and within an average Of one hundred
miles OF the ice-pack; and secondly. the north
coast Of Norway, though geographically well
within the Arctic circle. is not Arctic at all The
Gulf Stream and the forcing heat OF the North
crn summer have converted ii into a temperate
coast. Its waters are warm, il is inhabited by
man. its glacial period has passed away. In
summer the North Cape and the Land of the
Midnight Sun are merely temperate Norway
shorn of timber. Familiar flowers and birds,
villages. fishing boats, and fishing towns like
Nardo. with European civilization. recall the
travellers thoughts daily to the life of every
day. But the voyager to SptZbergen passes out
OF one familiar world into another so different
that il might be part of another planet. a world
whose plants are begotten in six months dark
and forced to life by six months sun.
whose birds and animals are the born children
OF the ice. and return there yearly by air or
water to enjoy their summer by the Arctic Sea.
The SpitZbergen region is not n mere group OF
lsets. It's is as large az that of Ireland.
NOrthward the Arctic current keeps it in grip
of the polar cold on its south side the fringe of
the Gulf Stream tempers the air. and causes the
one climatic drawback to the SptZbergen sum-
mer, dense and clinging fogs, which brood over
the adjacent But within the fog-screen the

Cutting Corn for si!nge.

Several correspondents ask when Is
the best time to cut up the corn for
silage. The dent varieties of corn are
ready to cut when the grains begin to
glaze and harden. This is usually in
Dictated in ordinary seasons by the
lower blades ON the stalks, which at
this stage OF ripening begin to turn
brown. At this stage corn is mature,
and in stalk, blade and ear, at it's
highest state Of maturity and will keep
best in the silo. The early mistakes,
years ago in this method of saving the
corn, was in cutting it before it was
ripe. 1t made sour silage for this rea-
son and the whole system was de-
nounced because thoughtless people
did not consider that unripe corn in
the silo was as much Of mistake as
canning unripe fruit for table use. The
good housewife would be denounced
roundly for canning half ripe fruit, but
the lord of the field Numbered in his
silage work, and because his silage
was sour denounced the system instead
Of seeing his own folly and mending
his ways. 1t is by far better that the
corn be over ripe and mature than not
ripe enough.

There has been but little travel across
the line at this point since the beginning
OF the year, owing to the low price OF
wheat. The people OF Langdon seem to
have awakened to the fact, that the low
prices paid there during the early part OF
the winter drove the farmers in this
| vicinity across the lines and they lost
their trade. Now however prices are
better in Langdon and consequently
they are getting the trade.
