Mcuttino of the khalia.n

One of the most interesting Of Egyp-
tan customs is that known as the
"cutting of the Khalig." which is cele-
brated on the occasion Of the opening
of the dams of the Khalig canal, there
by causing the flooding of the land for
cultivation purposes. The ceremony
takes place in August, when the Nile
reaches it's highest level, and is really
thanksgiving service. According to
tradition, the old time Egyptians had a
custom Of casting young virgin gayly
dressed into the river as sacrifice to
the gods. but at the present time the
offering takes the more humane form
of a dummy. A procession Of deco
rated boats and barges passes along
the river. one special craft being used
for the ceremony This boat. rugged to
represent an old time warship, is towed
by a decorated tug and is well provid-
ed with musicians, who play Arab
tunes, while minute guns are fired at
intervals in honor of the OCCASION

It was originally the symbol OF polar

ancient and widely distributed symbol
that had ever existed. 1t has been

Value of Cow Testing.

The practice of officially testing dairy
COWS has proved to be an efficient fac
Tor in wedding out the Improbable
members of the herd. The Wisconsin
station has published during the year
results of official testing in that state
for the past ten years. During the first
FIVE years of the decade the average
production of aged Holstein cows on
seven days test was 1918 pounds OF
milk and 1879 pounds of milk fat, while
in the last five years of the decade the
average production of this class was
1920 pounds of milk and 1913 pounds
of milk fat This gain was due in
large part to improved breeding. feed
ing and selection of the dairy stock.

LESSON FROM ALASKA.
Northern Territory Increases Its Pota.
to Yield by Careful Cultivation.

Northern Territory Increases Its Pota.
to Yield by Careful Cultivation.
From Alaska comes lesson in pO-
tato raising. The chief vegetable crop
of the territory is the potato, but in or
der to grow it successfully suitable To-
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 1906 to 1910, inclusive, from
"a days to 1O7 days. the former occur
ring in 1910 and the latter in 1907. Tn
der such conditions, therefore, any
process that will facilitate the develop
ment of the potato after it has been
put into the ground is of advantage In
helping to secure 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 it. The seed po-
tatoes were placed in flats 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 pot
sprouted.
Similar tests were made at the Sitka
station. near the coast, and at the
Rampant station, inland. At the for
mer the rows of the sprouted potatoes
were distinguishabe above the surface
fully two weeks earlier than the rows
Of the unsprouted potatoes, while at
Rampant the difference in time be-
tween the appearance above ground Of
the sprouted and unsprouted potatoes
ranged from eight to twenty days, ac-
cording to the variety, and the differ
ence in blooming period from twelve to
twenty days.
The Sitka station tested twenty-five
varieties, with the result that sprouted
potatoes gave uniformly the best yield,
averaged larger and were better ma
tured than the potatoes raised from the
unsprouted seed. At the Rampant sta
ton the gain in yield ranged from 21.3
to 1873 per cent.-Country Gentleman.
