the average precipitation is so in

warmest December day on record vas
the twentieth day Of the month in
1900. when it was ffty-etght above.
These extremes give the month a
range Of ninety-one degrees.
II Is also interesting to note that
there are only five December DAYS on
record In twenty years on which the
temperature has been under thirty

The lowest mean average for the
month was In 1903 when the figure

the month Of December was the

The month Of December is usually

Drasters For the Farm.

The idea of the all purpose horse has
faded, and in our modern economy the
draft horse is pre-eminently the farm
horse. Lighter horses will always have
their uses and their admirers, but on
the farm, where power is needed, the
vast strength. the firm, heavy bone, the
great weight. and the mild disposition
of the draft horse makes of him the
prince of all farm horses.

LESSON FROM ALASKA.

Northern Territory Increases Its Pota-

From Alaska comes q lesson In po-
tato raising. The chief vegetable crop
Of the territory Is the potato. but in or

cation as to soil. slope Of land and
southern exposure has to be selected,
and even then to secure thoroughly
mature crop much depends on the va
riety that is grown and the method Of
culture. The growing season In Alaska
is exceedingly short ranging during
the years 1905 to 1910, inclusive. from
"a days to 1O7 days, the former occur
ring in 1910 and the latter In 1907. Un-
der such conditions, therefore. any
process that will facilitate the develop
ment Of the potato after 1t has been
put into the ground is Of advantage in
helping to secure a mature crop.
This was the problem confronting
the experiment stations In Alaska, ac
cording to the annual report for 1910.
and test was made Of the effect on
the maturity and yield of sprouting the
seed before planting 1t. The seed po-
tatoes were placed In fats in the green
house and slightly covered with earth
several weeks before planting time
and when planted had sprouts varying
In length from half an inch to three
inches. These were compared in their
yields with potatoes that were not

Similar tests were made at the Sitka
station. near the coast. and at the
Rampant station, inland. At the for

were distinguishable above the surface

Rampant the difference in time be-

the sprouted and unsprouted potatoes
ranged from eight to twenty days, ac-
