More Wireless

The war department is consider ing project for installing second system of wireless telegraphy in Alaska. The proposed line, which is not yet very definitely projected, is to extend from Fort Gibbon. on the lower Yukon, a distance of a little more than 16O miles, to a point on the Tanana in the vicin- ity of Cinema.
 Orders were published several days ago authorizing Capt. Leon- ard D. Wildman to travel from Nome, where he is now stationed, to Fort Gibbon lon official busi- ness pertaining to the wireless tel egraph work under his charge" General Greeley, chief signal off cer, says that captain iSWildman wishes to examine the conditions in regard to the establishment of a wireless telegraph system from Gibbon in southeasterly direction to a point on the Panama. It is believed that there would be some advantage in substituting wireless for the present wire system now in operation between the points in question. This is part. of the land system which, ;it has abeen found, is very difficult to keep up on account of the severe storms in winter.

Finland with . soil not nearly 90 rich and with a climate not to be compared with that of Alaska, produces yearly 100000 horses, about 5000, 900 cattle, and 10000 900 sheep to say nothing of 100000 head of hogs and an immense number of chickens. Finland also produces wheat, barley, flax, oats, rye, hemp, buckwheat, exporting millions of bushels of grain and cereals. In five years Finland has exported 10000 horses, 60 ,0O0 cows, 133,742.216 pounds of butter. and 1,972,lS5 pounds of cheese. If Finland, a country in many ways similar to Alaska, were to ship all her productions here each year, it would supply each man, woman and child in this country with 100 cattle, $50 sheep, s hogs, 10 horses, 5000 pounds of butter, 400 pounds of cheese, together with an outfit Of four. harley peas, etc., to last him five years, and yet Finland is not one quarter as large as Alaska; 1; cannot compare with us as a min eral country or compete with us in fish pr game--Transcript.

Practical Farm Experiments.

OF the various publications Of the
Department Of Agriculture the most
useful and probably the most popular,
is farmers bulletin issued five or
six times year on experiment station
work. practical Farm Experiments
would probably be comprehensive
title for these bulletins, as each
pamphlet Of about 80 pages Is COM
posed Of dozen or fifteen short de-
scriptions Of practical farm matters,
the outcome Of the experiments and
tests of the variocs government ex-
pertinent stations all over the country.
Their value lies largely in the fact
that each article is only a couple of
pages in length and it can be picked
up and read through at odd moments,
whereas when farmer receives a
longer bulletin he is more likely to lay
it away for some future reading when
he has more time, and as time Is usu-
ally pressing on the farm, 1t Is likely
never to get read at all.
Farmers Bulletin No. 233 Is the
last issue of these bulletins and its lit
tie stories are decidedly interesting.
Information given on the root system
Of field crops will be surprise to
probably even some of the best in
formed farmers. An illustration is
shown of corn roots az they occupy
the ground in the corn rows. 1t shows
a myriad Of small rootlets, entirely en-
comprising the ground in every direc-
ton for a depth Of almost four feet.
The root systems Of various other
plants are described. Wheat roots &C.

Coffee FOrthe Army.

The yearly contract for supplying
coffee for the United States Army is
about to be let by the Quartermaster
General, and the Department Of Ag-
riculture has been called upon to de-
eide which brand shall be purchased.
This test was made under the super
vision of DR.. Wiley, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Chemistry. He selected a jury
of veteran coffee drinkers who know
and can tell good coffee from bad by
flavor and by the odor with the pot at
probably hundred yards distant. The
jury assembled in DR.. Wiley's Office,
where the bureau cook had prepared
several small lots of coffee from the
samples submitted. They were tested
