The Farm and the Farmer.

1t is strange that in this great agri-
cultural country the government was
so slow to organize, as q component
part of itself, department for the
betterment of the sons of the soil. 1t
was not until the country was more
than century old that the Depart
ment of Agriculture was established
and the farmer was given direct vote
in the cabinet.
At the end Of President Cleveland's
first term, in 1885, that bureau was
organized, and it has already done
much to elevate the status of the farm
er and dignity the art Of agriculture.
Considering that our farms are the
corner stones of the nations prospect
ty, and that the farmer lad, in his
chip hat and jeans, is the real hope
and salvation of the country, it is
remarkable fact that our forefathers
did not establish a bureau of agri-
culture as the first stepping stone for
the young nation.
We are just beginning to wake up.
Along this line there is much to be
done by the government, by the agri-
cultural colleges, and by the farmers
Institutes.

Interinr of The Barn.

Readers of this department will re-
member the stories | have told of
my Swede hired man, who insists on
grooming the cows as carefully as the
horses. At first we thought this con-
siderable of a joke, but it was soon
discovered that the work was profit
able in the milk return, so now we
take our turn at grooming. Some time
ago this Swede was set to whitewash
ing the inside of the poultry houses,
and after the work was thoroughly
done he wanted the privilege of white
washing the COW stables. 1t seems to
us sometimes as if he wanted to put
whitewash on everything which, in any
way, could be soiled, and we have
allowed him SO much liberty in this
respect that he whitewashes the i'll
terror of the hog pens, and certainly
thus adds to their beauty as well as to
the healthfulness OF the swine. Some
day, while the COWS are in the pas
ture, go over the walls with a broom
and sweep down all the dust and cob
webs and then thoroughly Whitewash
the walls You will be SO much pleased
by their appearance that you will find
it easy to do it frequently during the
winter. There is no reason, other than
custom, why the interior of barns
should be so dismal and lack 50 many
conveniences. Try some way of i'm
proving them. 1t takes but little time,
and the stock will be all the better for

They Met a Bear.

Ernest Orsborn and Bud Arnold, OF
Comntche. report one Of the closest
calls of the season in bear fight.
For some time large bear has been
bothering their stock, and they had
made several Intellectual attempts to
find Bruin, but could not locate him.
This week they started out and got
the track on Big River, near the
Horse opening.
While they were waiting for the
hounds and sitting comfortably on a
log. something appeared behind them
and knocked Orsborn's gun out OF
his hand. Before he had recovered
from his surprise he was engaged IN
hand-to-hand encounter with tho
hear. which had doubled on the dogs
and come back on the hunters.
One blow of the bears paw broke
the gun in two and bent the barrel.
The fight was so fierce that Arnold
had to wait several minutes beIore ne
dared to risk a shot, for fear OF Kill
mo his companion Orsborn finally
begged him to shoot anyway, as ne
said he would rather be shot than
killed by bear Fortunately Arnold
was able to hit the lear, the bullet
lust glazing Orsborn's arm, and the
combatants rolled over on the ground.
The hear was one of the biggest ever
killed in that section.-San Francisco

ALAsKA's TIN FIELDS.
Placer Mines Could Supply Worlds
Needs.

Needs.
H. w. Hammond, now staying at
the ST. Francis, has recently return
ed from the tin fields of Alaska, and
is enthusiastic over the future of tin
mining in the Territory. He states
that the placer deposits of tin ore, or
cassiterite, near Cape Prince OF
Wales, are spread over an area
roughly twenty-five miles long and
ten miles wide.
in this field" he says, there is
enough placer tin in sight to equal
for years to come the present world
output of $4,000 tons annually. Yield
ing at this rate, the fields would not
be exhausted for century. Outcrop'
pings of the tin ore from which these
placer deposits have come have been
located at various points in the York
Mountain range to the eastward, but
so far the main Lodges have not been
uncovered. The placer fields them
selves are so large, however, and
easily worked, that quartz mining is
not likely to be either necessary or
advisable for decades to come
Hammond called attention to the
fact that the ore yields a percentage
of commercial tin remarkably high
Of fifteen assays made by Hammond
the lowest percentage of tin obtained
was IS, and the highest rs. "The cas-
.siterite occurs underneath stratum
of other gravels from eight to ten
feet thick
while the Prince of Wales district
is not famous for gold, enough gold
is found mixed with the tin to pay
all charges of working. The wages
paid for labor are S. per day and
found, equal to $3.50 per day through
the season. About 500 men, all &C
tive miners, are now scattered over
the field, and practically all the placer
land in this district has been taken
up. The Government allows man
to locate twenty acres, a ridiculous
ly large amount"
A number of powerful companies
have already secured large holdings,
and Hammond thinks that the next
season will see several thousand men
employed in the tin field. "A miner,
he says, experienced with tin ores,
needs only a few hu ldred dollars
outfit to work proftably a claim
there. or he can use a hundred thous-
and"
A railroad is being constructed
from Port Clarence, forty miles south,
to the region, and will meet with
no particular engineering difficulties.
Hammond sketched the lay of the
ground yielding the ore. "The fields
begin about seven miles northeass of
the cape and lie due rorthward on
the west flank of the York Noun
tains. The streams traversirg the
field all empty into the Arctic, north
of the cape, few traces of tin being
found on the east and south slope
of the range or in the basins of the
rivers flowing into Behring Sea.
Hammond referred to the fact that
tin had been found elsewhere i'll
Alaska. "but nowhere" he said, Sin
large quantities The plac tin OF
the cape fields alone, however, is
practically inexhaustible and suffi-
cient to supply the whole world.

Despite the fact that the corn crop
is very large, market reports Indicate
that it will not be sold at extremely
low prices, as was feared some time
back, when it was seen the crop would
likely be heavy. The intelligent and
up-to-date farmer with a heavy crop
of Al corn can make it yield him good
returns by selecting the best of the
crop and putting it on the market at
the highest rates quoted and using the
proceeds to buy other grains which
will give him the needed balanced ra-
ton for his stock. This is departing
somewhat from the general plan Of
feeding whatever grain one has in
abundance, but it will pay. Moreover,
it will pay even to the point of re-
ducing the herd to just the number
that can be properly fed on well-bal-
anced rations It is not hard to use
the corn crop for feeding SO that the
value Of the milk produced is really
less than the value of the corn and
the manure, thus giving one lot of
hard work and no profit. On the other
hand. if one feeds just the number of
cows he can feed on balanced ration,
disposing of both the surplus COWS
and corn, he is money ahead at the end
of the season.

How Great Britain Sells Live Stock.
To the English farmer the marketing
of live stock and dairy products is
grain. Barely one-seyenth Of the sup
ply of wheat consumed by the nation
is grown in this island, while more
than one-half Of the meat eaten at
home is home-bred. There are two
methods commonly used in disposing
of live stock. The first is by direct
sale, the second by auction. When
the first method is used, the custom
is for the seller to seek his purchasers
by adv ertising widely in the agricul-
tural and other newspapers. The most
common method of selling live stock,
however, is by auction, and these auc-
tons take place most commonly at the
markets. Nearly every large town has
it's market, some more than one, while
many quite insignificant villages have
their sale yards, and other places are
known entirely by the great fairs held
there once or more often every autumn
or spring. There are about nine hum
dred such places in Great Britain
