SKILLED LABOR ON THE
FARM,
WOrIkmen who Command High
Wages and Who Are Never
Begging for Something TO DO.

Chicago Tribune.
1t is the fact that skilled labor, with
temperate habits, generally commands
a high price and never goes begging for
something to do. In no department
of industry does mere manual labor
command better prices than on the
farm, when the fact is taken into con-
consideration that the individual is
subject to less inducements to part
with his earnings in the country than
are felIow-laborers in the city. On
the farm prices for labor range from
SIT TO $50 per month with board,
only the more superior hands getting
the latter price. Really good men,
however, may command $25 by the
year, and fair men $40. All these
must be men of decent education, and
with direct practical knowledge in
dairying, stock-breeding, the manage
ment of farm machinery, or the cul.
tivation of special crops. The man
who really understands the care and
working of machines, who can take
apart and put together again correctly
any farm machine as it comes from the
shop, who knows the proper location
of the fractional parts, who can sub
due a tendency to heating, can properly
grind cutting surfaces, can correctly
lay out lands for plowing, run the ini-
tial swath strai ght through a field of
grass or grain, who knows how to
properly cure hay or TO shock grain,
can build a stack or rick properly pro
portioned, who can take the super
vision of large farm as working man
ager in the absence of the owner-all
such can and do get up TO $1,000 a
year and board if single man, and up
to $500 year with house rent and |
garden spot free if married. How |
many can stand the test in actual prac-
tice in this respect? Not many. And
yet, why not? 1t is simply skilled
labor.
The reason is the farm laborer has
not the means of application in early

art, thinks more of debasing
pleasures than of reading or study,
and hence is all his life drudge, more
or less incompetent, and never arrives
TO the dignity of even twenty dollars

serious thought Of what the true dig
nifty of honest labor signifies.
The fairly capable man, able to
manage a farm, has not heretofore con,

bis life. Wild lands waiting for the
settler were plenty. As soon as be

said, was referred for report to the

are located, and this official asserts
in his report, which, has been recently

existing reservations in that 10,
cality. The commissioner makes
no definite recommendation a.
to the any of these theories.
Reports of Indian agents, at agen.
cies where courts for trials of Ipdian
offences have been established. show
that they have been entirely success
full in many cases, and are eminently
useful.
Referring to the Indian police, the
commissioner says; "To great ex
tent they have met the necessities OF
the situation and have proved valu-
able aids to the Indian agents, in pre-
venting tresspassing and robbery by
lawless whites, and in suppressing
disorder, violence and incipient revo-
moves among their own
people. Many instances Of surpris-
ing fidelity to the trust imposed upon
them under circumstances which
would swerve many white men from
duty, might be related Of these In
dian policemen.
Under the head of cash payments
to the Indians, the commissioner says:
"The sum of $422,333 was paid in
small per capita sums to Indians dur
ing the past fiscal year." Referring to
INDIAN OUTBREAKS
In the southwest, the commissioner
says: "On the 18th Of last May por-
ton of the Chiricahuas,, numbering
forty-two men and ninety-two women
and children, succeeded in escaping
from military control, while the. re-
naming portion remained peaceably
at camp Apache. Of those who es-
capped, eight men were killed by the
Apache scouts, and thirty one
women and children were
captured and are now held
under military surveillance at Fort
Bowie. The others have been roam
ing through the country committing
murders and depredatious, aud pill
laying upon aud terroriziDg the citi-
zens. In view of the outbreak in
May, and as precautionary measure
against any collision or combination
that might be. made between those off
and those remaining on the reserva.
ton, as well as to assure peace aud
quiet to citizens, it has been deemed
advisable to place all the Apachcs
temporarily uuucr the charge of the
war department, that department to
have full authority to prescribe and
enforce such regulations for their
as they deem proper.
This office heartily sympatbizes with
the efforts of the war department to
control the rebellious and war-like
spirit of the Chiricahua outlaws aud
to prevent a recurrence of their raids
upon the white settlements, and it
trusts the military will be able TO
capture the murderous band now

Commissioner Atkins received no

of squaws and children belonging to
the While Mountain tribe, by the
Chiricahuas. but he said he had no
doubt that the outrage has been per-
petrated by members of Gerinomo's

have rendered excellent service to the
government in furnishing scouts for
the pursuit of the hostiles, ald they
had killed many of Gerinomo's band,
who sought retaliation upon them by
killing their squsws and children.
