Katherine when her mother told her

II will go to her myself, said
Katherine, impulsively.

Get Ready For the Census Taker.

Previous censuses lave been defective
as far as agriculture is concerned, because
the Information furnished by the farmers
to the enumerators was incomplete.
Farmers often do not keep books and
have no record of crops to refer to. When
the enumeratOrs come around the first of
June they find it difficult to get anything
like an accurate report of what was grown
the preceding year. The farmer has for
gotten some things, as so much time has
gone by since the crops were harvested
and disposed of. The census will be of
crops grown in the year 1899. If a census
is to he taken at all it should he full and
accurate. and we should all be interested
in having our calling show up as good as
it is.
Now, let every farmer who reads this
paper sit down some evening and write
out now, while 1t is fresh in his mind,
the information that the enumeratOr will
want next summer. He will call for the
number Of acres you had in each crop,
and the number Of bushels or tons, and
the value at a fair market price. You
want on your list the quantity and value
of every farm product produced in 1899.
Farm products, you know, include eggs
and poultry, and larger live stock, milk,
butter, honey, etc.-everything produced.
hay never had much faith in statistics,
simply because 1 know that assessors
often get very inaccurate reports from
farmOrs.-T. b. Terry, in Practical Far:

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA.
Grain and Hardy Vegetables Can BE
Raised In Perfection. says Professor
GeOrgesOn.

| That all Alaska has not the rigor of the
klondike is shown by the results of Prof.
Z. Z. Georgeson's work last summer at
Sitka and Cooks Inlet, where the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has established ex-
pertinent stations. Last year Mr.. George
son made some interesting and surpris-
ing discoveries in regard to the agricul-
tural possibilities Of Alaska, and this
years work has confirmed his statement
that profitable farming there is by no
means myth. He has brought to Wash
lngton, ID. e., some of the finest barley,
oats and rye ever seen here, some excel
lent spring wheat and some splendid gar
den vegetables, such as parsnips, carrots,
MI. Georgeson says, any and all of the
hardy vegetables can be grown to perfec-
ton in Alaska.
"Of course" he added, ALASKA will
never be great agricultural country; it
Will never compete with any other cOun-
try in this line, but we have shown it to
be possible to grow anything wanted to
supply the necessities and even the lux
uries of life. 1t is not practicable to farm,
probably, on very large scale, as clear
ing the spruce stumps out of the land is a
difficult and labOriOus task, but the land
Is very rich-in fact, it is about three feet
OF solid peat,sswhich when drained, yields
enormously, and great deal can be
raised on a small area. The people them
selves have been astOnished at the things,
especially the magnificent grains, we
have raised, never having supposed it
possible. The season is not short One as
is generally supposed. The Japan cur
rent equalizes the temperature Of the en-
tire coast very greatly. The highest point
reached by the mercury last summer was
81 degrees, and the lowest record during
the last fifty years IS 4 degrees below zero.
Killing frost did not come this year until
October 10; before that time all our grain
crops had fully matured.
"Of course, as | say, Alaska can never
be an agricultural country, but the ex-
periments we have made mean that its
mining camps can be supplied with fresh
stock country. Grass grows splendidly
and clOvers better than i'm most places i'm |
the United States, and cattle do well,
sheep thrive and hogs grow fat. Flax, / |
think, may become an important crop of
the country. We have grown some Of a |
very fine quality which I understand
fOvOrably with the best Irish |
flax. 1t is not probable that the Alaska |
Indians, however, can ever be made into |
farmers. They are too lazy. They are |
fond of vegetables, but have never at
tempted to raise anything with the excep- |
ton of few turnips. They subsist |
through the winter principally on dried
fish.
''Our operations next year will be quite |
extensive, as much time was consumed |
this year in breaking ground and drain |
ing, and putting up buildings."-New
