A TEST OF NERVE.
One of the Ways In Which Indians
Duel to the Death

Duel to the Death.
Among the Indian tribes the method
of fighting duels differs. There are
some tribes where challenge to duel
means inevitably that both men must
die. When an Indian feels aggrieyed
he demands combat. The day for the
same is fixed far in advance and is
made the occasion of little celebra-
ton. The entire tribe assemblies. The
braves sit in a circle. behind them their
squaws and the young bucks.
The offended man is armed with a
rife or shotgun. The challenged
principal is unarmed. At word both
men arise and face each other, the un-
armed man barring his breast to the
bullet of his adversary. With eyes
riveted on the little round hole at the
end of the barrel pointed at him, the
doomed man must face the protracted
ordeal of expecting death at any in,
slant without the least sign of weak
ening. The eXecutiOner may hold his
gun as long as he pleases in order to
try to break down his enemy. He may
raise it and lower it or hold it steadily
ON the man under the frightful strain,
but not even with an eyelid must the
unfortunate betray his anxiety. AT
last the gun cracks. and the bullet
speeds it's way and the victim lies dy-
ing. The slayer hands the weapon to
relative or friend of the deceased and
is put through the same ordeal.

The first duty of the farmer is to pro-

for it cannot be that any other motive
could possibly prompt him to such

Has he been denied chance at the
splendid opportunities of this country :?
Is he poorly endowed mentally and in
tellectually? Has he been less wise
than bird or animal, not knowing how
to live? Has some unpreventable mis-
fortune overtaken him-fire loss or
s.sicalness-or is he just poor in his old

The feeding of 100000 people will
be the biggest problem in this country
inside of twenty-five years. A stand
ard of living has been developed under
American conditions which demands
much to eat and of very great vari
ETY.. The teeming millions of the old
world are content to live on the plain
est and coarsest of food. the English
man content with his bread, cheese and
beer; the lrishman with his potatoes
and clabber, the Scotchman with his
oatmeal and whisky. the German with
black bread and horse sausage. the
Italian with his macaroni and oil, the
Russian with his rye bread and vodka.
while in this country the spread on the
table of even the common laborer
would be a festival banquet for these
unfed or underfed hordes. If the time
ever comes when any such bill Of fare
should become compulsory for the COM
mon people of this country, then look
out for trouble, and lots of it, The best
way in which to prevent any SUCH con-
dition is to take an increasing inter-
est in agriculture and the maintenance
Of soil fertility and crop production,
for all food comes primarily from the
soil save the crop of the ocean waters,
this to the end that an abundance of
good food may be produced cheaply.
Religion, politics, commerce, transpor-
tation, are each important issues ever
with us, but the biggest problem to
meet in the future years is to provide
an ample supply of good food for the
American people, for when men become
hungry they become vicious, rebellous,
unreasonable, and with the masses OF
America in this condition what is to
become of the republic? The young
man who is making study of the soil
and it's productive capacity has taken
up not only a fascinating profession
but is engaged in a most patriotic
work.

A new form of competition has arts
EN- all through the creamery sections OF
the west-the centralized butter fac
tory of the cities, drawing its supply
of separated cream from a wide radius
of territory by rail shipments. In many
localities the competition of these fac
tories is driving the old cooperative
curing all it's patrons. at least enough
to prevent the local creamery from do
ing business. OF course TO secure this
patronage the town concern AT first
pays more than the local creamery can,
and lots of farmers are foolish enough
to bite at the bait and deliberately
place themselves in the power of what
can be easily one of the most tyran-
nical of trusts and combines. Skuldug-
gerry is mighty easy in the matter of
cream tests, and the farmer will soon
err or later find it is no fun to try to
settle a deal of that sort with the
other fellow located 200 miles from
him. He will not be able to go to the
creamery and have row with the but
termaker over his tests, as he has
been doing When the farmer has got
rid of his local school, his local cream
cry, his local paper, he might as vel
get rid OF his local church and pay
tribute to city parson. When this
time comes he will be easier skinned
than ever before Maintain all your
