A N odd plan is on foot to make the

ing ground for agriculture in Alaska.
OF course, there are a good many
kinds of agriculture in Alaska that
do not need proving. They are al
ready an established success, both
scientifically and commercially. Hun
dreds of tons of potatoes, oats and cab
bage are grown and sold in the terri
tory each year and there are dozen
other successful crops.
But Alaskan nights are too cool
to mature string beans and corn, for
instance, and the question is whether
hardy, cold-restraint varieties could
not be produced by selective breeding
that would give Alaskans all the fresh
luxuries from their garden that the
states have.
There are farms in the Colorado
mountains near Denver that have an
elevation of nearly 10000 feet and

Apple Fritters, No.-Make a bat
ter like the second recipe and add
one cupful Of chopped apple. Drop in
large spoonfuls into hot fat and fry

Banana Fritters-Peel and mash
fine three bananas. Mix one cupful Of

Brussels Sprouts.

Brussels sprouts will be used freely
by the economical housewife while
they are cheap and good. To prepare
this vegetable properly the sprouts
should be blanched in cold water after
boiling. II this is not done they will
be almost as coarse as cabbage. The
ideal sauce is Drowned butter. 1t is
much nicer than the cream sauce, so
often used. and a great many other
vegetables that are constantly being
served with cream sauce would be
better with Drowned butter or maitre
d'hotel sauce.

Lack of Horses Alarms Officers

airy and published by the department
of agriculture, doubt is expressed on
the subject. The army type is said
to be scarce and hard to obtain.
Capt. Conrad recommends legis-
lation by the states generally to pre-
vent the breeding of unsound horses.
In 1908 the government established
the system Of remount depots for the
army Under this system the govern
ment buys the horse young, at three
to four years old, and after breaking
them issues them to the troops. This
system has been found preferable to
purchasing the animals when matured.
But what the army officers want, and
also the department of agriculture, Is
a system of government supervision Of
the breeding of horses for the army.
Chief George M. Rommel of the ami
NAL husbandry division of the bureau
of animal industry, has devised plan
whereby from 1000 to $500 well-bred
animals would be available for the
army every year. This would about
supply the demands in time of peace.
1t is proposed to divide the country
into four districts and to rear Nor
gans, thoroughbreds. standardbreds
and saddlers. In time the best type

Illinois Is Ahead in Absenteeism

clerk hire, and $125 for stationery
without coming to Washington, but II
is necessary for him to appear at least
once in order to receive his travelling
allowance of 20 cents a mile.
It is doubtful II an absolutely per-
feet record OF nonattendance ever will
be made even by one of the Illinois
champions, unless this irksome re-
quirement of the mileage provision
should be modified. The generous al
lowance makes 1t a real object for a
congressman to come to Washington
at least once each session.
Unsophisticated persons may sup
pose representatives who attend ses-
sion OF congress only a few days Of
the entire period refrain, as a matter
of propriety, from drawing their en-
tire salary, or perhaps return It to the
treasury.
