intended for the Indians. Alaska is
no longer merely an Indian territory.
Public sentiment condemns the viola
ton Of law by the citizens. and public
policy requires that smuggling shall be
punished; but human nature knows
that the laws which are being diSoheyed
In Alaska are disobeyed wherever an
attempt is made To enforce them.
Maine. Iowa and Kansas offer the best
proof that prohibitive laws will not pre-
vent the sale and consumption OF
liquors.
Alaska is placed in a most unpleas-
ant aspect through no fault of its own.
Officials are condemned If they enforce
the law. and they are condemned If
they wink at evasions. They are APP
pointed 10 do an impossible thing, and
when they point out the impossibility
they are unofficially advised by higher
authorities to apply the law with com
mon sense.
Scandals and favoritism are inevita-
bic under such an absurd code. Con-
gress has been appealed 10 year after
year to modify the laws, so that the
liquor traffic may be conducted under
proper regulations. AS it is now, the
honest merchant is placed at a disad-
vantage. because If he refuses TO supply
the wants OF his customers, more dar-
ing and less scrupulous seekers after
husiness%ill supply the demand. The
result Is jealousy. accusations OF favor
itism and Of corruption.
II is not regarded as a crime 10 drink

In the city OF Seattle. II the Federal
government should attempt To force
upon us such legislation as that which
is resented now in the territory. there are
very many men in Seattle who are reck-
oned to be pretty good citizens, as the
world goes. who would feel AZ de-
terInined about resisting the law and
eyading It's effects as any man In Jul
neau or Sitka who is now regarded as a
smuggler or n dealer In Illicit goods

THE ART OF GRINDING.
low to Put an Edge ON Moving Ma.
chine Knives and Other Bevel-
Edged Tools.

There is propriety in all things. and
the grinding of moving machine
knives is not to be excepted. Most
farmers, however, hold the knives out
at arms length and grind them on the
top of the stone, similar to the way
that the scythe is ground, thus not
only making the process slow and la
borious one, but producing a very poor
edge indeed when compared with that
which is obtainable by the method
shown herewith in the illustration.
In order to- achieve the purpose at
Issue one should have a good stone
a stone so hung that it will run true.
1T is preferable to have it mounted
upon common friction wheel bearings.
Why? Because these raise the center
of it just high enough from the frame
to admit of the inch-board rest on
each end and make it about right for
grinding the moving machine knife
when the back of the knife section is
held in position against this rest.
Thus constructed, hold the knife Sec
ton as described, but with the point
pitching little toward the stone. and

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Soils rich in humus hold the mois-
ture longer against evaporation and a
humus soil, when dry, pro bab bly, makes
the most effective soil mulch.
Subsoils rich in iron are usually re-
tentive of moisture. For this reason
Il red subsoil, if not too sandy, is
usually a good foundation for the sur
face soil to rest on
1t is sometimes notice BILE that the
farmer who has grown old has lost
ambition. and he permits buildings
and fences to fall to the ground l..
is better from every standpoint to
avoid getting into a condition like
that. even if it does require an effort.

be raised up two or three inches
higher, making depth of eight to nine
inches. If heavy rains should follow
and fully saturate this soil it would
settle down to six inches of depth

would not settle more than one inch.

VITALITY OF SEEDS.
Experiments at the Indiana Station
Prove That Freezing Does
Not Affect 1t.

In case seeds are well dried before
freezing weather sets in, common ex-
perience has shown that the vitality
is not destroyed by freezing weather.
This has been repeatedly shown in
corn from the crib of the experiment
station. Although exposed to all the
vicissitudes of our variable winters
we have frequently found that IS to
100 per cent. of the corn would gern,i-
nate. The corn grown at this sta
ton is medium variety which ma
lures and dries out before severe
freezing weather begins. In case par
TALLY cured corn is subjected to severe
freezing the vitality of the germ is
injured and frequently destroyed. The
sad experience of many farmers at
tests the truth of this statement.
Careful, observant farmers have long
noted the i'll effects of freezing on par
TALLY cured corn, hence they gather
their seed corn early so that it may
become well dried out before setting in
Of very cold weather. 1t is well known
that dry seeds will bear exposure to
low temperatures without losing the
power to terminate. Whether such
low temperature Injuries the vitality
without entirely destroying it, is a
question l am not as yet prepared to
answer. The injury, if any, to dry
seeds from freezing is at least imper-
ceptible. There are those who be-
lieve that the exposing of even dry
seeds-especially seed corn-to a
freezing temperature, will injure the
vitality of the germ, but l do not re-
call any experimental tests that dem
onstrate this to be true. For all prac-
teal purposes it is quite sufficient for
the farmer to know that if his seeds
are well cured before very cold wealth
er begins, he may expect them to re-
tain the power to terminate even
though exposed to severe freezing
weather. In many instances seeds
thus cured and exposed have been
found to terminate 100 per cent. and
with a satisfactory degree of vitality.

crosspieces should be bolted on with
two bolts through each board.
Some old drag or harrow teeth are
put through the front board four
inches apart, the holes being bored
SO the teeth will slant back, which
prevents clogging. An old moving
machine scat is fastened to the center
of the middle plank. The drag can be
drawn by tongue fastened similar to

manner that the draft is from the
center. This implement works as we'll

AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.
Too Many of Them Have Degenerated
Into a Meeting Place for
Sports and Fakirs.

Too many of the fairs are degenerate
ing. The evidences of this are plenti-
full and striking. True, here and there
local fair shows improvement. and
state fairs are generally progressive;
but the most of the local fairs are in
a decline. Members of our office staff
have visited many fairs this season
and in a majority of instances have
found stock pens and agricultural
halls nearly empty and the attendance
of farmers and their families material
ly decreased. AS we aim at truthful
ness in our reports, the kindest thing
we could do in many cases was to say
nothing whatever in the paper about
fairs of this class.
The fact is that most of the fairs
have practically ceased to be agricul-
tural and cater wholly to the taste.
of the sporting community. In too
many instances fair" has become syn
onymous with the same word with
''k" inserted in the middle, and the
farmer is compelled to stand around
with his interests under his arm and
watch the honors and profits of the
occasion being divided between the
jockey and the fellow with the game
of chance.
We have a few fairs in mind which
have been striking exceptions in the
matter of success this season, but
these have every one been clean. The
fair which would be long-lived and
continuously successful must be de-
cent in tone and decidedly agricultural
in character. The handwriting is on
the wall for every other kind.-Na-

INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF

sufferer from Asthma in this city as to
the truth of the claims made for DR..
Schiffmann's Asthma Cure. that doubt no
longer remains, providing he was among
those who called at W. o. Cubbedge's
drug store last Tuesday and obtained a
free sample package. A great number
who have already tried the same declare
in positive terms that relief was imme-
date; that the wretched spasms were
checked; that free expectoration was in
duced; that a reclining position was
readily assumed and gratefully maintain
ed'that the sleep which followed was rest
full and unbroken, and that the morning
brought clear head and a feeling of de-
lighted thankfulness which no words are
too strong to describe.
Abundant voluntary testimonials prove
that DR.. Schiffmann Asthma Cure not
only gives instant relief in the worst
cases, but has positively cured thousands
