We note the hiring of a farm hand
for year at $50 per month, board and
washing. This is easily equivalent to
the $40 per month paid to the clerk in
some city Office or store with the added
advantage that the farm hand can
save up So where the town man can
one. We recall the time when the
farmer could hire just as good hand
for SIP per month, and there were
more men after the twelve dollar job
than there are after the thirty dollar

We think that one reason why ex-
perimental plats of alfalfa in the states
east of the Missouri river so often fail,
turning yellow and dying out, is that
the soil where soWn is deficient In nj
trogen and the plant, being gross
user of nitrogen, perlshes for lack Of
it, while. like calf, If 1t can be prop
erly and adequately fed until It can
take care of itself by getting its own
nitrogen appropriating machinery into
operation, it would become an easy
matter to secure field of this valua-
bic legume. Assuming this to be a
fact, as we believe 1t to be, it logically
follows that an ample supply Of nitro
gen should be furnished the plant
when young, which can best be done
by thoroughly enriching the soil with
liberal supply Of barnyard manure.

Through much Of the west the feed

years. Tai the four years, it may
be said the az a proposition it has not
been a success. Only the very few

satisfactory profit The many have got
nothing to show but mortgage and
lot Of valuable experience. For this
reason we feel like commencing the
COW as very much safer and more re
fable proposition for The average Farm

the market for her product is practical
~ assured at a profitable figure. The
market for butter and cheese varies
but little from year to year, while the
making Of beef Is speculation pure
and simple. the price Of the product be-
Ing practically fixed at the caprice of
one Of the most arbitrary trusts in the
country. For this reason we think it
Is safer for the man who wishes to
feed cattle to feed cows rather than
steers.

sation against Boss was that last Sep
TENDER he conveyed u wagon load OF

ton, which, 1t Is alleged he unlaw-
fully disposed Of TO the redmen in the
vicinity OF the Uintah agency. He was
indicted by the federal grand jury, and
demurrer was filed In the case on the
ground that the Indians were AT that
time citizens of the United States and
are no longer wards Of the general
government.
Attorney NJ. NJ. Kaighn appeared for
Boss and made lengthy argument on
the demurrer. The principal cases cited
by him are those Of Hof and Niles,
which he maintained were directly IN
line with the case at bar.
United states Attorney Joseph Lipp-

was taken under advisement by the

EARTHQUAKES IN CARIBBEEs.

Phenomena Always Attended by
Dread Bordering on Terror.
To us the lands and countries about
the Caribbean Sea are of the greatest
interest and Importance. Our people
will be locating there with more and
increasing frequency, and all the while
the ties Of international cooperation
will become stronger, says Francis G.
Nicholas in the Review Of Reviews.
That eruptive and seismic disasters
have afflicted places in those regions
will not deter us very much, for one
has abundant faith that it is not going
to happen to him, and good many Of
our people are locating directly in
range of the volcanoes, happy and pros
pering along with the natives.
The region is not very far away. A
few days on the steamer and one is in
the tropics. That bit Of yellow seaweed
picked up at the shore last summer be-
cause it was different from the others
was probably brought by the gulf
stream from the Caribbean regions and
wind. Surely it is not PARKWAY coun-
try that we are considering, and it is
very beautiful-sunshine and flowers,
green savannas and towering noun
tains, torrential rivers, clear, splashing
brooks and deep blue seas.
Why should -one think of earth
quakes? My own experiences with them
have happily been free from scenes of
death; yet the coming of an earthquake
is SO sudden, so wildly terrible, that the
stoutest hearts must quail. Even wild
animals shrink with fear, and one is
always filed with dread bordering on
terror. 1t is all so sudden. A sense
of some unknown fear pervades all ma
ture, as if the spirit Of the world had
caught its breath and held all life an
instant in suspense, while sounds seem
to beset ones nerves rather than to
assault the ears. Then comes q reel
ing, sickening, staggering motion, and
fear, and human crying out, and then
quivering silence for the space Of
breath, followed perhaps by crushing
destruction, or, it may be, by sound
like great signing and the earth set
ties back, that the pulsations of ma
ture may begin again in harmony. Then
excited people find their voices, be-
wildered faces CLEAN with intelligence
and every one is talking, comparing ex-
periences, wondering what it was,
where it had come from and how it
had gone away. Such have been my
experiences with earthquakes In the
Caribbean regions.
