Defect IN A
new N. D. LAW

jamestown, N. D Nov. ga pecu-
liar defect in one Of the laws passed
at the last session of the state legis-
lature, was brought to light when An
drew Skurska, a nonresident, was
brought before the board OF insanity.
Skurska was picked up when wander
ing on the open plains, and was clear
" in a demented condition. Judge
Hemmi Of the county court, who Is a
member of the insanity board, called
the attention Of the members TO the
new law, which provides that when II
appears that an insane person Is a
non resident Of the state Of North Da-
kota he shall not be committed to the
state hospital for the insane until the
matter has been reported to the board
in control of the state institutions
who shall thereupon cause an inves-
tigation to be started as to the domi.
Gle Of the person under inquiry.
There Is no provision in the new
law with reference to the care and
custody Of the patient while the In
quiry Is being made. and as wal
pointed out by Judge Hemmi. the in
quiry might extend over a period OF
several months. and the board is abb
solutely prohibited from causing the
patient to be cared for in the state
institutions in the meantime.
The average c0unty jail has no
facilities for caring for demented per.
sons, and insofar as the law Is con.
cerned it would be necessary to turn
the lunatic loose on the community
or for him to be cared for by privat'
individuals until such time as thu
state board Of control could deterr1in,
what should be done with him.
The local insanity board were II
a quandary as to the steps to be takeI
in the case, but after reporting tn
matter to the board OF control, tn
county commissioners of this count!
guaranteed payment Of the cxpens
which might be incurred in givinl
Skurslxa proper treatment for tn
| time being.
Owing to the fact that many case
OF insanity that are brought to tn
attention OF the authorities are thos
In which the patient is non-resi
dent. It is probable that considerable
difficulty will be experienced by Of
ficers all over the state until the Iay
can be shaped and remoulded at tn
next meeting of the legislature.

1hE GAME rAw

| Pierre-In order to fOreStall any
misconception of the game law as it
now stands, in force and effect, State
| Game Warden Bancroft has published
| the following:
For the benefit of the sportsmen
of the state, who may be laboring un-
der the impression that some material
changes were made by the last legis~
lature affecting the present game and
fish laws OF the state the writer win
attempt to enlighten them as to the
real state of affairs.
"A new bill was presented to the
legislature having for its main feature
the elimination of the county game
| warden system and substituting the
state deputy system. This bill passed
the lower house, but failed to pass the
senate, and thereby did not become a
| law.
The only game bills that passed
we're the two bills affecting big game.
One of them was putting closed
season on antelope Indefinitely. and
the other the big game law which
takes the place of the old one.
This new big game law prohibits
the Killing OF more tnan one deef-and
that of the male deer only. Under
this law deer is the only big game
animal that may be legally killed in
this state.
Practically the old game and fish
laws, with the exception of the above.
| are now in full force and effect and
| will remain so until changed by a fa-
ture legislature.
Prairie chickens may be legally
killed next fall from Sept 10 to Oct
10-the limit being ten birds per day
and not over twenty-five in possession
of person at any one time.
"All bills relating to fish and fur
bearing animals failed to pass, as did
also the game and fish commission

to permit her to return to her tribe.
This they refused to do. and she died
of a broken heart. Quanah. then
youth, went back to his people and
fought the whites until 1874, when he
surrendered to Gen. Mackenzie at
Fort Sue. Ok
After that Quanah became as good
a citizen as he had been a soldier.
The town of Quanah Tex, was named
for him, and he gave considerable
sums of money to the public institu-
t1ons Of the town. He accumulated
property rapidly and he knew how to
take care of it when he got it. But he,
was generous. and had host of
friends among the whites, while among
the Comanches he was looked up to-
as sort of demi-god.

biscuit made from common alfalfa
from the big alfalfa show at the West
ern Products exhibition at Omaha the
last OF January and myself and fam
lily tried to eat it and we are still
at the job. very much prefer to eat
the mutton, beef and poultry made
from alfalfa to eating the alfalfa 1T
self Man will probably never develop
a bovine stomach"
The past season we raised alfalfa
plants by sowing seed in rows with
garden drill and cultivating with a
wheel hoe, much the same as for car
rots and beets. The plants made
strong growth and were dug up late in
the fall and are now heeled in out
doors with manure over the earth.
They will be desirable for transplant
ing three to four feet apart each way
in good garden soil and should be
given thorough cultivation. This will
encourage the free production of seed.
Transplanting alfalfa plants is moth
ing new as it has long been practiced
in parts of India and South America.
In dry regions alfalfa seed is now
often raised i'm cultivated rows. Crow
ing alfalfa for seed and hay are two
different propositions.
1t must be remembered that very
large number of different strains OF
alfalfas were found growing wild in
Siberia and | tried to secure them
from regions that correspond to the
various parts of the prairie northwest
Some of these alfalfas, l think. will
be better adapted to the extreme north
than to the south. The seed gathered
on my last trips to Siberia in 1906 and
1908 was scattered in a great many
places from our Mexican boundary
north into Alaska. l had nothing to
do with this distribution as 1t was
done from Washington. However,
have worked patiently along with
small quantity OF each lot and am
ready to send out few of the best OF
these for trial elsewhere No seeds
can be spared, but plants only Some
of the best of these alfalfas have been
started from a teaspoonful of seed, so
that it has been slow work. The small
state appropriation will stimulate the
work as there are no federal funds
available for this purpose.
