DIDN'T BLAME HIM
FOR the trappings of society James J. Hill had Ilttlo use.
He abominated the stiffness and formality of social func
tions. An old friend, recalling i\Ir. nill's dislike for
formal society, told of how upon one occasion, when the Hill
family gave an evening reception at St Paul, Mr. Hill was
persuaded, only with the utmost difficulty, to don a dress suit
For the occasion an old colored man from the Great North
ern offices was to act at the door of the Hill residence. He
stood at his post, awaiting the guests, when Mr. Hill, attired
in his evening clothes, came downstairs. The attendant, who
had boon with Mr. Hill for years, when he saw his boss in the
unaccustomed attire chuckled aloud. Mr. Hill caught the
sound and looked up. The retainer turned in dismay. Mr.
Hill strode up to him, caught him by the shoulder and said,
"What are you laughing at?"
" 'Deed, I wasn't laughing!" gasped the servant.
"Yes, you were," admonished Mr. Hill. "You were laugh
ing at me, and I don't blame you a darn bit."—Wall Street

GOOD GIIIS IN
AGRICULTURE
Washington, I). C., Dec. 18—The
rear Ji)15 was the most favorable
tor laming; known, in Alaska for
many years, according to the an- j
uual report of the four Alaska agri
cultural experiment stations Just
published by the United States de
partment of agriculture. Grain of
ill the varieties grown ripened and
matured unusually early, while veg
stables and berries produced abund
m* crops.
^ reconnoissance of Matanuska
valley, thru which the government
railway is to pass, phowjs that the
region is well adapted to general
;arming and stock raising.
Promising results were attained
in the development of hybrid straw
Se.-ries at the Sitka station. Suc
:ess lias been achieved in growing
:erta;n varieties of apples in the
:oast country# and what is believed
o be the first apple tree tc* bloom
,u central Alaska—a Siberian crab
—blossomed at the Rampart station,
toout 75 miles south of the Arctic
:ricle.
Promising results have, been o]>
:a'ued in breeding grains. Especial
success lias been had withi spring
ivheats. Work in feeding strains
j' alfalfa has continued. Encour
? .*ine growth was made by a variety
af vetch .which seems to indicate
;hat tills plant will be of consider
ible value in Alaskan, aglrictulture.
Work was resumed at the Kodiak
island experiment station following
the volcanic disturbance of 1912.
A. recommendation, was made for
provision for the crossing of Hol
st°!»i-Friesian cattle with the hardy
LJalJcway beef cattle. The report
say3 it has been, demonstrated that
sheep will do well on natural pas
tures throughout t.he island and
coastal regions in the vicinity of
thf station, and in normal winters
<^ioso animals can maintain them
selves with little feed.
Fcr ♦>ve development of a satisfac
tory btt' animal for central Alas
ka the report recommends anew
the importation of y.aks from Asia
for crossing with hardy cattle. It
is recommended that horse breed
ing be taken up at the KodiaJc sta
♦lon, since at present none are bred
la Alaska, jvhile many are imported
a* great expense from the States.
