HOT WATER FARMING.
An Artic Circle Man Who CONNER
ciaIizes a Spring.

of all farms in the world perhaps
the most remarkable is in Alaska on
small branch of the Tanana river,
only 1875 miles south of the Arctic
Circle" said T. H. Mitchell In the
Republican. cit is owned and operat-
ed by a man named Karshner.
"A few years ago Karshner was en-
gagged in hunting gold when he came
across something which astonished
him greatly. 1t was little stream
of hot water He traced the stream to
a spring, which was likewise hot, and
presently it became obvious that
considerable area was underlaid by
such springs. Promptly deciding
that this was a discovery more
valuable than a gold mine, Kar-
sinner gave up prospecting, obtain
ed a quantity of vegetable seeds OF
various kinds and started in to raise
garden truck.
The temperature in that region
sometimes falls to Sc degrees below
zero, but a natural system OF not
water heating free of cost, was just
the thing for truck gardening near
the Arctic Circle, where potatoes
have market value of 25 cents and
other vegetables bring prices in pro-
portion.
The Karshner farm occupies fiat
area with a convenient slant toward
the south. Hot water, oozing out OF
the ground, forms three small streams
which empty into a nearby river. The
warm spring extends over distance
of about a mile and, as the owner
says, the heat must be felt to be be-
lieved He goes on to say that the
place has a climate of it's own, for
often there is no frost when 1t Is
freezing everywhere else.
This hot-water farmer has 70 mems
and pigs. He claims that his crop
of potatoes this year will average
over 300 bushels to the acre. To
bacco grows finely and tomatoes are
a success. Squashes of various kinds
are grown, some of them Weighing as
much as so pounds. Not content with
that, Karshner gets 81 apiece for his
muSkmellOnS
