fertillzed from the pollen Of the oths"
variety. The row with the tassel w
touched will self-fertilize, as Is usual IL
corn fields, and will also fertilize the
row with the tassel pulled. The corn
grown upon the row with no tassel will
be purely and sexually Cross-bred. Re-
moving the tassel will not check the
growth. II the variety of pollen is likely
to be mixed by neighbor's corn field
being too close, try to have both plant
the same kind Of seed. The pollen is
secreted in the little anthers, which a
short time after the appearance Of the
tassel, hang like so many diminutive
Chinese lanterns from the flowers Of
the tassel.
"They are divided into two apartments
and shed the golden-colored fertilizing
dust round through holes In the bot
tom. The silks are covered with a sort
of mucilaginOus substance and show a
natural affinity for the golden-colored
powder. Experience will prove, and all
science goes to prove, that the cross
breeding Of plants adds vigor, growth
and fertility. It reVitalizes and increases
largely the yield of seed. The breeding
Of animals proves that thorough breed
ing without thorough feeding fails to
bring the best results. So the greatest
care should also be exercised In the Sc
lection Of seed, ground and the prepara-
tion OF the soil, to secure the best re-
suits in the cross-breeding Of corn"
The following varieties are recon-
mended for rOss-breeding:
(1) Farmers Interest, pollenize with
Early Mastodon; (2) Prolific White Cap,
pollenize with Farmers Interest; (3)
Farmers Interest, pollenize with First
premium White Dent; Early Mastodon,
pollenize with Farmers Interest. II you
wish to improve by cross-breeding both
fodder and grain, buy seed Of Farmers
Interest, and pollenize with Red Cob
Ensilage Save the seed from the pol
lenized corn and plant next season; thus
you have the new strain or breed.

Alaska Agriculture.

Last winter Congress appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose Of making agri-
cultural experiments in Alaska under the
direction Of the government Department
of Agriculture. Prof. Georgeson, for
merly Of the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege, was placed in charge Of this work
and during the past summer he has been
conducting a series Of experiments in
that northern region with a view OF de-
termining what agricultural products
can be successfully raised there. No bet
ter man could have been placed in charge
of that important work for he has had
a wide experience In growing crops in
Northern latitudes. He has returned to
Washington and reports that he sue
ceeded In growing and maturing oats,
barley, fax, potatoes and number OF
other vegetables in the vicinity Of Sitka.
The potatoes he raised were Of excellent
quality. If oats, barley, potatoes and
other vegetables can be grown and ma
tured in Alaska farming there will not
only prove q profitable industry but the
products will be of immense value to the
thousands Of miners who go to that
frigid country after its deposits Of gold.
Prof GeOrgeson Is also making careful
study Of the soils Of that country and
he will very quickly determine the best
crops that can be adapted to the climate
and soils Of Alaska.

there are no young trees, involving loss
OF from to cents per acre, the object
being to seed the soil and secure con-
slant growth Of young trees instead Of
leaving the ground to grow up to less
valuable timber. In a recent visit to the
lumber regions Of Minnesota we find that
when pine, for example, Is taken of en-
tirely, the land grows up to the decid-
uous trees which have as yet little or no
commercial value, and we can see the
value to the country at large in Mr.. Pin
chots methods He is also making
special study Of the best methods Of COM
batting forest fires, which do such meal
culable damage not only to the farms
in the timber belts but to the country at
large. He holds that fires always run
along In waves, throwing out spurs, and
that fighting and back-hring should be
done in front of these spurs, when the
back stretches can be more easily dealt
with, instead Of fighting as farmers most
generally do, the back stretches, endeaV-
Oring to catch up with the spurs.-Wal-
