SUCCEEDS WITH
STOCK FODDER
Prof. Jorgeson Tells of Results Ac*
complished at Kenai fxperi
mental Station.
Experiments in grass and grain
1 growing for stork feeding purposes at
the government experimental station
at Keuai have proveri very successful.
No attempt has been made yet to mature
thri graft’, but oat - hnd barley produce
title straw, which make excellent grain
hay. Sixteen pounds of butter from
cows led at the Keuai station were
brought hark by Prof. C. t‘. Heorgesori
superintendent of the experimental
stations of Maska undi'r the supervis
ion of the department Of agrieultur.
Prof Uedrgeson parsed through
S< ward this \\Yek on the Excelsior On
his way hark to Sitka. v*hich is his
headquarter*. He is much encouraged
In the resides sd far attaint'd. Me said
frankly that he doubted whether the
coast of Alaska eoufd In* made to pro
duce s.iceessfully anything lmt hardy
vegetables, grasses arid grain for hay.
There is not enough sunshine. He
thinks it probable, however, although
no experiment ha- been made, that the
interior, in such localities as the Su
sitna valley, will be in'tiriiea profitable
agricultural country, a$ It is warmer
and has ample sunshine during the
growing season.
Experiments with stoekcaisiiig at
Kenai will continue. Prof, (leorgeson
proposes to place 1 Hack (lalfoway cat
tle there. This an extremely hard'
breed, whose natural habitat is in a
cold, damp climate, and lie t hitiks they
will thrive lure. "They are the only
cattle in the world which face the j
storm.” said Prof. (1 “irgeson. "All
other cattle turn their tails to it. The
Hallo ways have a thick covering of j
hair in their faces and do not .seem to
mind the storm at all.”
Prof, (leorgeson says tin* agricul
tural experiments in Alaska are much
handicapped by the hick of money.)
IT annual appropriation i- SI.I.ODO for
the whole of Alaska. Ail the expenses i
ot the four experimental stations have]
to tie paid from this.
QUICKSILVER RUNS IN VEINS
Some Mine!; Produce Steadily For
Hundreds of Years
Quicksilver is found in veins of rock, j
like gold, silvei and other metals.
Somethin > the tiny globules of mercury
appear in the interstices of the rock,
but usually it is found in the form of |
cinnabar, a chemical compound con-1
tai ling L!.s percent sulphur arid Sr*.2
mercury. When pure and reduced to;
powder it is a bright red color.
1 hf principal uses of quicksilver hie
for recovering free gold and silver in
placer and quart/, mining, for manu
facturing Vermillion paints and dyes,
for hacking mirrors, for making ther
mometers and other scientific instru-j
rnents.
A famous quicksilver mine in Spain
inis been operated since 41 o years be
fore Christ and is still the largest pro
ducer of the metal in the world. Cali
fornia has held second plac since lsl->
four years before gold was discovered
there. Alaska and Texas also produce
quicksilver.
The distilling plant shown at the
Portland fair is a new invention, and
it is claimed that tho time required in
getting the quicksilver out of the ore
has been reduced by its use from about
thirty-six hours to four hours.
S'nuit 1 Gordeano. the Spanish evan
gelist. in a New York group took oc
casion to praise American humor.
Someone instanced, n> a superb
piece i’f American humor. Artemus
Ward's dictum on the Shakespeare
liacon controversy:
“I hcliev* these plays were not writ
ten by Shakespeare, but by another
man of the same name."
Thereupon Mr. Gordeano said:
That is goo 1, but I like better a
piece of humor about a tramp.
“This tramp, dilapidated, a ruin, en
tered a newspaper office jauntily.
“ -Sa,\. cully, is di> de "Free
Press?" ’ he asked th* editor.
•* 'Ye-, my man. ’ the dignified edi
tor replied. ‘What can we do for you?'
“ ‘Pll just set down a minute and un
peel,* said the tramp. ’I want treason
pressed in dese itere pant-.'
