FARMING IN ALASKA.

II viii undoubtedly surprise the gen
eral public of the United States TO he
told, as 1t has been by Mr.. C. G.
Georgson. special agent in charge of
The Alaskan agricultural experiment
station, that Alaska is likely TO become
good farming country. lie reports
that potatoes are proving 2 most sue
cessful crop, and are considered one
of tho big agricultural possibilities of
that region. The potato thus far is
the chief vegetable raised. and it can
be grown in all parts of Alaska. even
north Of the Arctic circle. according to
Mr.. Gcorgson' report,
He says that the cultivation OF the
strawberry has been marked success,
and that hybrids have been produced
of very fine flavor and eQuaiing in size
those of the marketable varieties com
monty sold throughout the United
States.
lie reports that cabbage and cauli-
flower and various root crops are sue
ccssfully grown, and that currants,
gooscberries, and raspbcrrics ''thrivc
as well in Alaska as anywhere on
Garth. Native crauberrics as well arc
reported in some of the marshes
Mr.. GoorCson reports that barley is
the most satisfactory grain crop thus
far, although in some portions Of
Alaska oats are successfully grown
Barley meal is used in northern Europe
quito extensively. and it will be a very
great crop eventually in Alaska, Win.
ter wheat is reported as doing better
than spring wheat, the latter being un-
dependable.
Stock raising promises to he the big
industry in the rural settlements of
Alaska: cattle, horses, sheep, and hogs
all thrive and withstand the winters
Plenty Of fodder can be raised to keep
them through the winters; the grass
grows luxuriantly, and is easily cured
and stored A number of Alaskan.
ranches have been conducted by of
ficcrs of the government service, and
these report a very prosperous live
stock industry well under way. The
production of its own meat is one of
the very encouraging promises of this
growing business on the farm
1t is, altogether, rosy report. and
bears out fully the estimates heretofore
made by keen observers, that Alaska
is capable of supporting population
equal to that which has existed for
centuries in the like parallels of lati-
tude in Europe 1t is richer, better
country by far than the like parallels
in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Fin
land, which arc heavily populated. 1t
IS not too much TO expect that. in
the course of time, population of 10

That Bather will put up the insan-
ity defense il evident from his state
ment. He now claims that he did not
know what he was doing, but he was
able to remember the details OF the
shooting with surprising minnteness.
and his plea OF temporary insanity
does not meet with much sympathy
from the prosecutor.
Bather said his daughter had been
keeping company" with Carton for
a long time, and eight years ago re-
fused to marry him because she had
tuberculosis. Bather said he had ask
ed her recently not to marry Carton
and she said she would not. Recently
Bather said, he noticed his daugh-
ter was acting differently, and he
wondered what was the matter. Then
the girl disappeared and he could
not find her, and he did not know
where she was until he received a
letter announcing her marriage. This
letter was delivered while he was in
bed. After reading II he dressed, and
visited a sister of Carton to find out
where they were. From her he learn
ed they were living on Joseph Cam
pau-ave.
Bather said he was not well receiv-
ed when he called on his daughter,
claiming that she sneered at him. The
three entered bedroom of the bar

fie started. He said that first he had

and was striking him. He drew his
revolver, he said, intending to strike
Carton with II and not TO shoot, but
il went of accidentally. Then he adj
mitted that he continued to shoot, mr.
ing three shots When told that at
least four bullets had hit his son-in-
law, he said he was not sure how
much shooting he had done.
Bather was quite collected when
giving his statement and there were
no evidences OF unusual excitement.

Gothic, in fact, what not? And ugli-
brick architecture can be served with
equal facility in stucco. This. Of
course. as in any case, Is a matter
OF taste and the architect. The point
is that practically everything that can
be done with stucco, and with more
enduring results. For stucce Is semi
fireproof inasmuch as 1t resists flames
tending to spread from other build
ings. Stucco also tends to make
houses warmer in winter and cooler
in summer This means a large saw
ing In fuel bills. Still another ad-
vantage OF this class Of building Is
that II obviates the necessity OF paint
ing a house every year or two.
Speaking of the use OF stucco in the
construction OF homes, well-known
architect said:
1.-The construction of stucco home
is simple but very substantial. First
the building Is erected with heavy
studdinS and seasoned frame weather
boarding, Just as In the case OF an all
wood house. II Is then covered with
tar paper upon which galvanized
metal lathing is set; upon this lath-
ing two or more coats OF stucco to q
thickness OF approximately one CT
more inches are placed. and there you
have your exterior walls, which harden
month by month until virtually con-
verified into stone. The soft. gray
tone, natural to stucco, lends itself
perfectly to green laws and shrub
berry, or to wooded estates. do not
