Fabulous Wheats.

Farmers are often urged to invest in
varieties OF wheat that, if what is said Of
them were true, would be wonderful in
deed. One variety is described as pro-
ducing several heads on each stalk, and
others are said TO yield hundred and
even two hundred bushels TO the acre.
The Department OF Agriculture has in
vestigated them and finds that none Of
them are in any way superior TO the
commercial varieties commonly grown.
The only basis for the extravagant state
ments of those who offer them for sale
is the necessity OF finding some excuse
for charging exorbitant prices for seed.
A favorite story OF the promoters is that
when the coffin OF an Egyptian mummy
5000 or 1000 years old was opened,
wheat was found iu it, which was planted,
but only single kernel grew. That,
however, proved to be wonderfully pro-
lific and very different from any other
wheat known.
The story is responsible for such names
as mummy" "wheat 5000 years Old"
Egyptian" and miracle" The story
is OF course absurd, for even under the
most favorable conditions wheat does not
keep its vitality more than few years.
In 1908 another story brought forward
the same wheat again, that time as an
Alaskan product. The tale had it that an
Idaho farmer had found somewhere on
the Alaskan coast wheat plant with
branched head, and that one bushel Of
seed to the acre would produce 20 bush
els. AS matter Of fact the actual yield
is about 25 bushels, which is no more
than standard varieties produce, nor. in
deed, so much as some OF them yield.
Farmers who are tempted TO buy seed
wheat at unusal prices will do well to
communicate first with their State agri-
cultural experiment station or with the
Department Of Agriculture at Washing
ton.

The Graveyard OF Nature.

Little does the traveller think, as he
drives over The dreary wastes OF snow
and sees no living thing save the arctic
fox, the raven and the snowy owl, that
the ground below him is packed full OF
the remains OF enormous animals that
have pershed in some mysterious man
ner. Such, nevertheless, is the extra
ordinary fact, states contributor TO
Chambers Journal in his quotation from
"Siberia and the Polar Sea-"
The whole of northern Siberia, from
the Ural Mountains TO Berng Strait, is
one vast graveyard. The bones, teeth
and skulls are those OF elephants, rhin-
oceroses, buflaloes and musk oxen.
They occur everywhere. They are found
on the banks OF the rivers, in the plains,
on rising ground and in frozen cliffs. On
the shores OF the Arctic Ocean there are
sloping banks of ice. These are split
and furrowed in all directions with deep
chasms, and as the traveller looks down
into their dark depths from above he
sees that the lower portions OF these icy
chasms are filled with fossils.
In other places on the northern coast
of Siberia fronting the Arctic Ocean the
low cliffs that rise above the beach and
are formed OF earth and clay are full OF
the bones OF elephants and rhinoceroses.
In the brief summer, which hardly lasts
for six weeks, portions OF these earthly
cliffs thaw and fall on the beach, below.
Then il is that the traveller who walks
along the shore witnesses an astonish-
ing spectacle. Not only does he observe
icebergs stranded on the beach, but he
also sees the tusks and bones OF elephants
| (the mammoth) lying on the shore. If
he leaves the Arctic Ocean behind and
journeys inland, the same sights constant
ly meet his astonished gaze. He comes,
it may be, 10 plain where for perhaps
half a mile the whole ground seems to
be formed Of masses of tusks, teeth, and
the bones OF elephants and rhinoceroses
welded together in one confused mass in
the frozen soil. These mighty beasts
must have been destroyed in herds, but
how they perished no one knows. Still
more amazing is the fact that the islands
in the Arctic Ocean north OF Siberia are
equally full of the tusks and bones; and
on the shores OF these islands in the polar
sea The tusks of elephants can be seen
sticking up in the frozen sand.
Stranger still, actually the very bodies
OF these great elephants, with flesh and
hair perfect, are seen standing upright in
the frozen cliffs. When the cliffs thaw,
the bodies OF these great elephants fall to
the ground, and are so perfect, after
being entombed for thousands OF years,
that the wolves eat the fleshl
There are many who maintain that
great future is before Siberia, owing to
its vast mineral wealth and its corn pro-
ducing power. This applies 10 the
southern districts, but has nothing to do
with the regions OF awful desolation to
which we have referred. Into these silent
solitudes man cannot penetrate except
when the land is buried in ice and snow.
The snow does not melt there until the
middle of June, and many OF the rivers
are covered again with solid ice by the
middle OF August.
