though. OF course it Is only natural
that they shouldn't want to be dis
turbed.
I'VE will go after other small ami
mails for our food and eat them
But in the fall we feast on grass
hoppers. Oh, such feasts as we have
"And we will have grasshopper
feasts this fall and the time is here
In the summer it's impossible to
catch any of the Woodchucll family
and use their holes. You see, Little
Skunks, we like their holes and so l
talk of their homes and what luck we
would have If we tried to get them.
You see, in the summer time
they're wide awake and they're smart
and quick, and no one can get the
better of them. They eat grass and
pumpkins and apples and vegetables
Of all sorts. Mrs. Sally Skunk, my
neighbor, only has four little children.
while 1 have seven. and my neighbor,
Mrs. Sadie Skunk, has only five. Five
makes one more than four. but five Is
still two less than seven.
"Ah, well. we all get on together.
Yes, the Mrs. and Miss Skunks are
all most friendly. That is why we
three share hole together and all
of us, with all of our children, stay to-
gether and keep house together.
Little baby skunks make dear lit
tie pets when they are taken young
enough. All, yes, it has often been
said the Little Skunks are tanner and
nicer and more fun than little kittens,
and when they're made pets of when
they're young they do not get a chance
to become at all ferocious"
AT that all the Little Skunks squealed
and said: Mamma, what does fero
cious meant"
"Ferocious means Wild" said Mrs.
Skunk. "A ferocious Skunk would be
wild and angry and rather danger
Gus Skunk to fight against.
"Now it's il bit ferocious of the
Daddy Skunks to kill or eat their
little ones. as they would if given a
chance, and as the Rabbits fathers
would, if given Il chance. AT least the
Rabbit fathers would kill their young.
But the Mother Skunks and the
Mother Rabbits know enough to keep
their little ones away when they are
young.
And then the daddies do not see
them until they are bigger when they
like them better All. well,' We're
pretty little creatures, and we can
be very gentle and very nice, and we
can be rather horrid.
.'We're something like a rhyme I've
heard about little girl being nice
when she was nice, and when she
wasn't nice she was horrid. So the
old verse goes. But let us not think
of our ways now"

fowl, but ii Is also used to II limited
extent as human food, particularly by
some of the Indian tribes of the upper
Mississippi valley. Because it attracts
game birds it is sown on hunting pre-
serves, the sewers going out in row
boats or canoes and spreading the seed
over the water by handfuls. Mature
seed is heavy and will sink immedi-
ately to the bottom and become i'm
bedded in the mud. Spring sowing Is
the most satisfactory as seed that is
sown In the fall is likely to be con-
sumed by hungry ducks or geese.
The natural range of wild rice in
North America extends southward
from the northern end of Lake Winni-
peg to the Gulf Of Mexico and eastward
to the Atlantic coast throughout these
latitudes. In the northern part of this
region 1t grows mainly in shallow lakes
and sluggish streams, while in the
eastern and southern part of the Unit
ed States it thrives above brackisll WA
ter on low marshes bordering most OF
the tidal rivers.
Wild rice may be started in beds and
then transplanted. This method OF
getting Il stand started in location
where the crop does not grow nathfa'-
ly is described in the circular.
Manner of Harvesting.
For centuries the Indians of Mime
sofa. Wisconsin and Canada have mar
vested this crop by going out in canoes
and shaking or knocking the ripe SEEDS
into the boat. The white man, with all
his ingenuity, employs the same meth-
od and probably will continue to 40 SO
until the plant is brought under cuiti-
walton. The Department of Asricui-
ture is investigating the possibilities IN
the growing of the plant and in the CIR
cular reports that it is good food ana
that it has possible value as forage
Very little of the grain ever gets on
the markets, as the Indians sell only
the small surplus they may have occa-
sionally.

cnes before the public, and moving to
Buffalo, N. Y, put up what he called
bis rFavorite Prescription and placed
i with the druggists in every state.
Dr.Pierce's Favorite Prescription has

More recently that wonderful dis

s,LAeE CROP is IMPORTANT
Cutting Too Green Sacrifices Too
Much Growth and Feed Value
Best Time for Corn.

The proper stage at which to mar
vest the silage crop is an Important
question. Cutting too green sacrifces
too much growth and feed value and
makes acid sllage; cutting too late
causes poor packing and spoilage. A
good rule In harvesting Indian corn
for siluge is to cut just before the ker-
mel glazes, and in the case of Dent
varieties, after the dent is well formed.

PAYS TRIBUTE TWO
 VETERAN RAILROADERS

Among the out of town jurors that carry with them an element of TO- nance in connection with the west and Alaska are James Cusick and James Casey, miner and railroad man respectively MT. Cusick served as a members of Torey's Rough Riders, or ganized at the behest of former Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt for service into Cuba, but served as a unit of cav airy. MT. Cusick is an experienced Rough Rider and graduated as west erner in the stirring days of Deadwood when "Wild Bill' was terror in the Black Hills, Mike Russel braved the guns of temperamental gentlemen and donned Plymouth Rock" trousers, a cutaway coat and silk hat, not to mention Captain Seth Bullock, Patsy Carr, Nathan Franklyn and others whose names are we'll known in west ern history. As a lieutenant in the Rough Riders MT. Cusick did not cross into Cuba, but served as unit of cav airy such as backed Roosevelt at San Juan hill. At present MT. Cusick Is engaged in m ming at Latouche.
 James Casey may boast as one Of the oldest veteran Tailroaders of Alas ka. having gone through the stirring period of construction of the Copper River road and remained with the or ganization for the past fifteen years He is now located at Chitina and Is one of the old reliable standbys who helped Heeney drive the pioneer pro- ject to the copper Eldorado at Kenne' cott-Anchorage Times.

CASE
 MAY BE TAKEN
 HIGHER COURT

Waving both the introduction o1
 testimony and argument before the
 jury ths defense in the matter of the
 United States vs. Chauncey F. Pet
 erscn, charged with having liquor in his possession, it required only ten minutes for the jury at Anchorage to return 2 verdict of guilty. The testi mony introduced purported to show that the marshals saw the defendant approach the ocean dock with boat ,, walk ashore to warehouse, return to the boat and row down tho coast southward to point beyond Chester Creek, where they eventually found the boat, containing approximately 100
 gallons of moonshine whiskey, and Peterson lying asleep on shore nearby
 The attitude of the defense in the premises is taken by legal authorities
 to presage the testing of what Is con. sidered conflicting statutes in the
 United States Supreme Court. This was further emphasized by motions of, fered by Attorney Ray for the defense, setting forth that the defendant had not been indicted by the Grand Jury and therefore was not properly before the court.
 It is pointed out that a man may be arrested, tried and convicted under the Alaska bone dry law, whereupon fed eral agent may come forward and ar rest and try him on the same charge under the. Volstead Act, thus inflict- ing double jeopardy for the same of fense.
 It is the general opinion among the legal fraternity that either the Alaska bone dry law or the Volstead Act must go. Thus the question of guilt or in nocense of Peterson becomes sub merged under the legal entanglement resultant from conflicting statutes. These overlapping statutes faced a jury recently in a liquor case wherein the defendant had been convicted un- der the Alaska bone dry law and was Ia second time taken into court on the Volstead Act, but for a separate and distinct offense. The question for the jury to decide was whether, in addi- tion to having been convicted prior, the defendant was guilty of the lat ter offense.

 on Prince William Sound alone, said
 MT. Hazelet, Is sufficient to more than exhaust the supply of distillate
 and gasoline now produced. A large part of the company's production of these two commodities is being taken by the herring plants along the Sound.
 The company has an experimental refinery ordered that is expected to arrive at an early date. It will be in- stalled at once. It is planned, he
 said, to experiment in the manufac-
