DR.. Sheldon Jackson. the missionary
who first introduced the reindeer into
Alaska, was an intimate friend Of the
writer many years ago, and the sue
cess which has followed this importa-
ton Of a new breed of animals into a
most inhospitable latitude is Of special
interest. The first importation Of nine
teen head has wonderfully increased in
number and has demonstrated remark
able adaptation to Alaskan conditions.
1t is estimated that in less than TWEEN
ty-five years there will be a million of
these valuable animals in that coun-
try, not only affording a most reliable
means of sustenapce and transporta-
ton to the natives,& but a valuable
source of meat supply for the Ameri-
car people. Then there will be fancy
cheese, robes. smoked venison and
other delicacies. and all produced from
Alaskan moss

A friend wishes to know if a barn
built on a hill is more likely to be
struck by lightning than one built on
lower ground. While the peaks of
mountain ranges are more frequently
struck than the objects down in the
valleys, the. difference in elevation on
the average farm between the highest
and the lowest points would probably
make no difference. We have known
lightning to strike a fence post and
miss a tree close by. Electricity is the
most erratic element in nature. We
have known it to kill a dog lying un-
der the stove and not spill the soup
kettle on top, which fact seemed to in
dictate that at times It is possessed of
much intelligence.

Cheap money and low interest rates

upon as a pretty good investment. AS

A friend writes inquiring whether
the sparrow pest will ever be abated.
We think not. These birds are here to
stay. They are hardy, persistent, pro-
life and have but few natural enemies,
save cats and hailstorms. Up to date
they are rather a nuisance than a seri-
Gus damage, but they may very easily
SO increase in number that their raids
on grainfields will result in serious
loss. In England. where these birds
are much more plentiful than here. the
cats have acquired what is known as
the sparrow habit-the knack of crawl
ing on the coping and cornice of build
ings in search of the nests and the
young birds. and thus the cat becomes
the most reliable means of keeping the
birds in check.
