about IL anu certainly there 10 no question
involved as to any agreement with or q for
nation of a copper trust"
The Daily Metal Renort, the official
paper of the New York metal trades,
contains the following:
We can state upon undisputed authority
that this mine will close down on Nov. 10
and remain closed for three months. The
action will be taken for the purpose OF
cleaning up ores and flue dust now on hand,
and making certain alterations aud repairs.
IL has no bearing on the cope market.
TIL production for twelve months will not
be decreased, because III on again starting
the p oduetion will be materially Increased,
bringing it up TO she average of past years.
The Engineering and Mining Journa
OF New York, however, takes a different
view of the matter. 1t says: ut is
more probable that the curtailment OF
production according to the terms OF the
copper combine has made this step nee
essary." The Engineering and Mining
Journal is a careful and we'll informed
newspaper and does not usually make
such assumptions at random. However,
let that pass.
Here then are the facts. The mines
will shut down, but not the works.
That was Mr.. Haggin's intention up to a
period as late as Saturday, Oct. %. And
the Anaconda Standard was never more
mistaken in it's life thar when it said,
Helena evidently hoped the works
would close" Not only have our people
never expressed such a hope, but they
would exceedingly regret to see such a
thing happen. Our people are not SO
stony-hearted and selfish as to desire to
see a repetition Of the suffering and
want that attended the shutdown Of
eighteen months ago. They would feel
regret now should the shutdown Of the
mines displace in mid-winter several
hundred working men; and they sim
cerely hope that the suspension will be
Of short duration and that when the
mines again open the miners will not be
forced to accept a reduced scale Of
wages.

ANY Way TO WIN.

The Anaconda managers are still hold
ing out candied fruits to their Butte
neighbors. The organ grinds out en-
chanting melodies OF mi page, and pic
lures blood curdling horrors of Butte
smoke on another. To quote it's favor
ite expression it is ''blowing hot or
cold," this way or that way or any way
you choose; anything to wheedle n
part of Butte's populace with caramels,
and frighten the other part with direful
stories.
From other Butte papers printed in
Butte and working for Butte we learn
that there is a large and growing ele-
ment that will not be side tracked for a
side tracked town. They seem to think
that the youngster ought not to dictate
terms to the parent and hat Butte with
a bigger population, better railway facil-
tiles, more industries, more people, more
hotels, more enduring signs Of prosper
ity, has better claims for capital honors
than the little Smelter city across The
canyon.
1t will occur to the intelligent Mon
tanian that they are right.

HELP THE WOOL GROWERS

The history of American grown wool
under a protective tariff is the history
of decline in values. 1t shows a record
of reduction from time to time since
1873 and whenever the tariff on wool
has been raised. These are facts, all the
more significant, because Mckinley told
us that his bill was designed not only TO
maintain, but to raise the price OF wool.
Suppose we try another method. Let
us remove the tariff on woods that can
not be grown in this country but which
are needed to mix with the home pro-
duct. This would mean death to the
wool killing shoddy industry, more
warm WOODEN goods for our people, more
wooden manufactures and consequently
a greater demand for home wool which
in turn means better and steadier prices.
Let us make the first break in this
direction on Nov. 8 by voting for Grover
Cleveland, a democratic congress and
tariff reform.

A BAD MESS.

From time to time Commissions Car
ter has, with much show of pride, eulo-
gized his own administration of the
general land office. Out here in Mon
Jana we have heard much of this talk
from the commissioners pet followers
who were doubtless instructed to show
their loyalty by boasting Of merits
which never existed, in order to
strengthen his political standing in this
state. We have been told how he has
Cleaned up accumulated business by
"a wise and generous policy" righted
many wrongs and placed the depart
ment upon the highest plane. This sort
of stuff has not only been drummed in
the ears of Montanians by Carter's men,
but has been exaggerated into nauseat-
ing praise by the commissioner himself
in his annual report.
In yesterdays INDEPENDENT appeared
an interesting communication on this
subject from Mr.. M. j. Haley, a republi-
can timber inspector who was retained
under the Cleveland administration be-
oanse of his efficiency. Mr.. Haley shows
in a very clear way that Mr.. Csrter's
high sounding claims are the shallowest
pretenses, and moro than this that sus-
picious favoritism has Deer shown by
the department; that the laws have not
been enforced; that honest settlers have
been deprived Of rights, while i~nfiuen-
tial corporations and m~onopolists have
been allowed to have things pretty much
their own way.
The people in this vicinity can read
lily understand how such a state of af-
fairs could easily exist under the admin
istration of Carter. He has given proof
before that he is a Carter man rather
than a patriot of the highest order. He
never overlooks any tricks when Carter
is In the game.
Mr.. Haley bursts the little bubble
which Carter tried to make on his
record in issuing patents by showing
that those patents wore issued in many
instances under absurd conditions; but
il Mr.. Carter really desires to compare
the records in this respect under the
different administrations, the figures are
easily brought to view. Commissioner
Sparks acquired the enmity of land
thieves by his persistent and successful
efforts in enforcing the laws, and from
this work the republican demagogues
have endeavored TO make an issue of 10
cal interest in the northwest. Yet the
records show that under the four years
Of Mr.. Cleveland's administration the
aggregate amount Of public land dis
posed Of was 80, 702,853 acres. The
amount disposed of up to this time un
der the Harrison administration which
has but a few months left, is 81 ,OS3, 9SS
acres. These figures show that the lane
taken up under Mr.. Cleveland wal
greater by two-thirds than that takel
up under President Harrison. In add
ton they show that a wise and gener
Gus policy" in the land office actual,
j, existed while the democrats we're il
power, while the records since Of wrong
known, prove that it did not exist unde
the administration of Harrison, Nobl
I and Carter.

= dds of political quackery, but occasion

THE FARMING WORLD.
a TRoUBLESOME PEST.

The Horn Fly, Its Habits and Mode OF
Attack Cattle.
It is too late in the season for this in
sect to depredate. but the article fol-
lowing relating thereto, and which we
illustrate, viii be good reading to be
remembered next year. 1t is given in
a bulletin by the Kentucky experiment
station, and Is as follows:
The horn fly which occasioned so
much alarm among dairymen and
stockmen of eastern states couple of
years ago occurs also among cattle in
Kentucky, and last summer has proved
very annoying to the Jerseys on the
experiment farm at Lexington.
The adult is a small gray fly very
much like the house Sy but smaller,
measuring only about three-sixteenths
of an inch in length, while the house
fly will measure one-fourth of an inch.
The hair lines indicate the natural size.
They have the strange habit OF settling
in great numbers about the bases OF
the horns which they sometimes COM
pletely cover. a habit which gives
them their common name When not
clinging to the horns they settle along
the back just behind the shoulders

DAIRYING in Sweden has had most re-
markable development, both as regards

and only yield that which is worthless,
when a small outlay for fertilizer
would not only add more vigor TO the
trees, but also render the fruit salable.
SPROUTS growing up from the roots of
trees take nourishnent that should go

weeds, and should not be allowed to

Small Flocks Pay Best.

One Of the principal reasons why 1t is
better to divide the sheep into small
docEs is that they can be assorted ac-
cording to their size and condition, and
the smaller and weaker ones are not
crowded away from the feed and water
and best sleeping places by stronger
companions. A good even flock of one
hundred, all in good condition, would
not lose as many by disease as flock
of twenty of all ages and sizes, by run
ming together, but they would need
four times as much room, and better
ventilation for the sheds And the same
rule holds good with other animals,
though of course not to the same ex-
tent when each is confined to certain
place and fed separately. And II Is
equally applicable to the poultry

Selling Young Pigs.

The chief danger IN growing pigs for
profit is in becoming overstocked-
Those who sell early, even though they
do not get all the profit the pig might
bring by keeping and fattening, are
reasonably certain of making money.
Some farmers are unreasonable about
their bargains They always want not
merely the best end of the bargain, but
all there is in it for themselves But
others must live as well as they. In
selling stock of any kind the buyer as
well as the seller should make If he
does not by and by there will be no
buyers All commercial business is
pursued on the principle of mutual adj
vantage If it were not 1t must run out
from lack OF support II takes two to
make bargain. and if bargaining is to
continue both parties must be allowed

where they cannot be reached by the
head and tails of the prosecuted cattle.
Their habit of settling on the horns
and backs quietly in swaruas renders
them easily distinguished from other
singing flies which generally occur
about cattle with them. These latter
fly up with a loud humming noise with
every movement OF the head or tail and
seem to prefer to attack the legs
The injury done by the horn fly is by
singing with the mouth parts), and
the pain which cattle endure from its
attacks is shown by their persistent en-
deavors to get rid of it. The flies fol-
low cattle to the barns at night and re-
main with them apparently at all
times, except when depositing the
eggs. It has been asserted that the
eggs were laid and the grubs developed
at the bases of the horns. This is I'M
questionably not true The eggs are
placed on fresh droppings from cattle,
about barnyards and in pastures. and
the grub and pupa state is passed in
these. The only injury cattle suffer is
consequently from the stings of the
flies
The injury done to cattle has been
greatly overestimated in some in
stances, yet there can be no doubt that
the yield of milk from cows greatly
worried by horn flies is much reduced,
and growing and fattening stock is
doubtless retarded by their attacks
From experiments recently made al
the experiment station it is evident that
most of the injury can be avoided with
but little trouble.
The best insecticide we have used for
the purpose is the powder known as
buhach- A heaping tablespoonful OF
this taken in the hand and rubbed
about the bases of the horns and IN
the fur along the back will rid a cow OF
the flies in a few minutes The powder
seems to retain its effectiveness for
some time, and cattle treated with it
are not much troubled with the flies
for day at least afterward- 1t loses
its properties as an insecticide, however,
when exposed, and must consequently
be applied frequently.
Finely powdered tobacco proves to
be almost equally effective with
buhach, and when obtainable is to be
preferred because of its greater cheap
ness.
Train oil has also been tried, and
has proved useful. 1t does not kill the
flies as does the buhach, but it is more
lasting than either buhach or tobacco
dust. It has the further advantage in
that it can be applied to the legs, thus
driving away the common flies which
attack these It has been applied by
soaking a piece of cloth with it, and
then giving the parts attacked thor
ough rubbing with the oiled cloth.
Fordairy cattle I would apply a little
buhach or tobacco dust to the horns
and back each morning before the
COWS go TO pasture, and supplement this
by rubbing the legs occasionally with
the oiled cloth.
j The Persian insect powder (pyre
. thrum) of drugstores will doubtless
| answer the same purpose as buhach
! provided it is fresh.
