MOLE AN INSECT DESTROYER.

The Illinois authorities recently
made an examination of the stomachs
of moles. 1t was found that half or
more of the food of the mole consists
of insects and their larvae, most Of
them noxious So far as its food Is
concerned, the mole is thus beneficial
on the whole. There is no direct evil
dence that it will eat potatoes or 9TH
er tubers, but circumstantial evi-
dence admitting that mice of herbifer.
Gus habit may occupy mole runs
in fall. 1t was shown that corn may
form an important item of the food
of moles; that recently planted corn
is sometimes destroyed by them, and
that if numerous in corn fields In
spring. they are capable of doing con-
siderable damage there.

FRANCIS FERDINAND MAY Use HIS THRONE

with the same object
He went to Dresden incognito few
weeks ago and consulted an eminent
specialist, after which he went to his
castle in Bohemia for rest cure. The
doctors ordered him to remain in bed
for some time.
The Donau Zeitung adds that de-
spite all the denials that have been
made 1t is fact that the morganatic
wife of Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
the Countess Hohenberg, is making
strenuous efforts to have the law of
succession changed so that her son
may come into the throne.
Because of the morganatic marriage
the children Of Archduke Francis Fer
dinand are barred from the succession,
and the next in line would be Arch
duke Kral Francis Joseph, a son of
the late Archduke Otto, brother Of

Wheat growers in general do not
favor long-bearded grain. as the straw

Still, in windy regions the beard of
wheat Is found to act as protection,
its elasticity keeping the plants from
injury. 1t also checks the inroads of
birds.

BERRIES IN ALASKA
Strawberry Growing Is Possible
in the Far North.
Department Of Agriculture Finds Cold
Resisting Plant Susceptible to Gull
tivation-The "Tin Cow" No
Longer . Luxury.

Washington. - Native-grown straw
berries and cream In Alaska would
have sounded like a comic supplement
Joke few years ago. But they are
now actualities, according to the ex-
pertinent station report Of the depart
ment OF agriculture. OF course, the
resident millionaires of the Klondike
could afford to import strawberries
from Indo-Chi If they wanted to 40
so. but they prefer to grow them local
", and II the present prospects hoio
eut they are likely to become reg
ular market commodity and within
reach of the common mine laborer
who makes only SIS or $40 day.
The department of agriculture was
interested in Alaska fruit culture FOR
a long time, and explorers brought
cold-resistant plants from all quarters
Many of them did WE'LL and the de-
partment is now experimenting there
with a black currant that will live out
of doors at a temperature OF -5S.
But the residents could not find
strawberry that would stand the ell
mate and bear fruit inside the narrow
time limit allowed by an Alaskan sum-
mer.
Finally the plant breeders took hold
of the problem. The plant breeder Is
one of the latest developments OF sci
ence He is the wizard Of the new
horticulture. They found little ma
tive member of the strawberry family
down on the coast near Sitka. The
fruit was about as eatable as mock
orange, but it was a native and In
ured to the climate This was crossed
with a good fruit-bearing plant from
the states, and the result has devel'
oped as a cold-resisting plant that
bears a better fruit than either OF its
parents. The experiment station has
been growing them and next year
they will be generally put out in the
local gardens
AS for cream. that is easy. The
day has passed when Alaska had to
depend on the tin COW" and get It's
milk from the condensing factories.
The department started several years
ago with a small herd Of the little
shaggy, black Galloway cattle and
found they took kindly to the soil and
climate Of Kodiak Island. To be sure.
the big brown Kodiak bears that are
big as elephants ate a few, and last
year there was volcano over on the
mainland sixty-two miles away that
sifted ashes down on the pastures and
starved few more to death. But the
cattle did we'll in spite of handicaps,
and the department now is selecting
some of the best mixers and build
ing up a regular dairy herd.
Butter from the native cows has
sold at times in Alaska cheaper than
it was doing on the same date IN
Washington. So the cream for the
native strawberries Is assured. 1t Is
true that the department has not yet
found a sugar cane that will grow
inside the arctic circle, and the Alas
kans still have to import their sugar,
but If the sugar beet man is to be
trusted, he thinks in time he can de-
velop a sugar beet that will grow on
the Yukon. If that is the case. Alaska
will feel so independent of the rest
of the country that the chances are
she will raise a kick in congress for
an autonomous form of government.
