Washington, D. c., July 2S.-Farm.
ing by sub-irrigation and with the mois-
ture supplied by melting ice is novel
agricultural method adopted in the In
terror of Alaska, according to the off,
cial report of Chief Special Agent Nc
Kenzie, who supervised the taking OF
the recent census in the Fourth dis
trict of that territory. The system is
proving surprisingly successful Many
kinds of vegetables are being grown,
thus rendering living conditions more
tolerable in the far northern country.
The future Is most promising in this
respect believes Mr.. Mckenzie.
Not only enumeratilg the popula-
ton, but gathering statistics on agri.
culture, mining and manufacturing
conditions was the work OF Mr.. NC
Kenzie. All the concrete facts will
be given in figures which will be given
out later. The census agents remarks
regarding the farming operations are
most interesting. He says that some
homesteads are most interesting. He
says that some homesteads have been
taken up and that on them farming is
conducted on considerable scale.
Agriculture in this portion Of AL
aska is yet in it's infancy" says Mr..
Mckenzie, "but it has arrived at such
proportions as to be considered al.
most wonderful in it's results. II all
the returns are taken they will show
a very remarkable condition when 1t
is considered that it is condition ex-
listing within the Arctic circle"
All the growth is attained between
May 20 and September Is. He attrib-
utes the fact that crops ripen not only
to the fact that the sun shines from
sixteen to twenty-four hours per day,
but to the correlative fact that the
plants are supplied with moisture from
beneath, where the melting ice affords
a regular and constant supply.
Rain is practically unknown" he
says, 'but the necessary moisture

which is the better way. If he does
those things and practises steadily
he will become better ball player
and last longer in the business than
scores of men who are his physical
superiors at the game.
Another bit Of advice for a young
player: There is complaint that the
Old players do not give the young onsa
q fair chance. This is not true. Il
the young player does not get his
chance it is his own fault. A young
player Just starting with any club
must watch his private behavior as
closely as his playing. A fresh" ball
player, or a "swelled head" or one
who does not attend to business soon
finds that he is not popular and be-
gins to complain that he does not get
his chance. A player who Joins q
club, watches and listens, sticks up
for his own rights and does not tram
pie on the rights Of others, always 10
welcome. A player in the modern
game is judged almost as much by
his conduct as by his playing. The
greatest mistake q young player can
make IL to think that because he
makes a successful start his success
IL assured and to swell" and cease
to pay close attention to business.
They ought to learn that baseball II
more than q sport and realize that It
10 the most sportsmanlike Of all sports.

The first thing young player ought
to do is to see that his condition Is

ought to begin studying the game,

} comes from below" The thaw never
extends deeper than three feet and
often not farther than fifteen inches,
but the thaw is regular and the water
supply sufficient to force rapid
growth.
Celery, lettuce, radishes, cabbages,
turnips and potatoes thrive, and, Mr.
Mckenzie declares, they are so much
better than in "the states" that the
high price charged by the growers is
quite jusIifiable. Raspberries grow
to be as large around as ascent pieces,
and blueberries and cranberries grow
wild in great profusion. Experiments
have been made with Strawberries and
grain, and while no great success is
recorded, the outlook is encouraging.
The dog is the favorite carrier
throughout Alaska. The horse can be
used only on the government trails,
and the reindeer has been found to
be unreliable. "As a beast of burden
the reindeer has his limitations" says
Mr.. Mckenzie, "and so far has not
proven a substitute for the dog. If
the reindeer wants to work he will do
so, but if not so inclined he will quit
wherever he may be, and all the driv-
ing in the world will not get anything
out of him. Horses are good only on
good roads, but the dog will travel
anywhere. The dog will work at any
temperature, while horse cannot
work below so degrees"
Manufacturing is confined to the
city of Fairbanks. 1t consists largely
of making tin stoves, window sashes
and doors.
The total product of the mines was
easily obtained by Mr.. Mckenzie from
the banks, but it was difficult to get
individual returns because of the lack
of method on the part of the mine
owners. Very few keep books except
to show the outline of production and
the food purchased. "They are con-
tent" says Mr.. Mckenzie, If there
is gain in their bank accounts at
the end of the year."

Smoking In Ancient Days.

It seems very probable that there
were smokers in England long before
the introduction of tobacco, according
to the London Chronicle. Pipes have
been discovered imbedded in the NOR
tar Of churches built before Europe's
first acquaintance with tobacco, and 1t
seems only reasonable to suppose that
the people Of that day smoked herbs
