ing decisions against the Federal
Trade Commission. Ia one such
decision agaist the Federal Trade
Commission aud in favor of a
large publishing company, the
Supreme Court said: Effective
competition requires that traders
have large freedom of action
when conducting their own af
fairs. Success alone does not
show reprehensible methods, al
though it may increase or render
insurperable the difficulties
which rivals must face"
This freedom of action which
the business man wants and
should have is not. as so many
politicians infer, a desire from
freedom to indulge in sharp
practice. It is a desire to be
free from unfair and unregulat
ed competition on the part of the
government itself.
Some years ago. Montreal en-
tered the insurance business.
Along came a loss of 1850, 900
with only 5000, 900 in the fund to
meet it. After twenty years of
self insurance, Philadelphia had
only $3.50, 600 in it's fund hardly
enough to pay for one big fire.
Jacksonville, Florida, turned
down the idea of self insurance,
and its wisdom in doing so was
shown when $25, 900 fre occurr
ed shortly thereafter. which the
fund would have been wholly
unprepared to meet. l could go
on citing other examples.
States, too. have decided at
times to insure their own public
buildings. Recently in a large
Eastern city, state armory
burned. The state had been
carrying its own insurance, but
the loss of this one FIRE was so
great that it could not be cover
ed by the funds available. Wheth.
er the building will ever be re-
built nobody knows. Certainly
no workmen are employed 10 re
constructing it now. How differ
ent the situation would have
been if property had been ade
quately covered by sound stock
company FIRE insurance.
A short time ago there was a
big fire at the Cuuard Pier in
New York. The next day news
papers carried stories about the
insurance being paid. And, what
is more important, these insur-
ance payments put hundreds OF
men to work Immediately on the
job of reconstructing the pier.

 EQUAL RIGHTS ID ALL

Florence L. Nafsted of Cordova, who arrived on the SS Admiral Evans Wednesday night, is on a campaign tour of Seward and An chorage in behalf of her candidacy for Republican Representative from this division, subject to the April 26th primary election.
 Mrs. Nafsted stated that she was for progressive legislation in all branches of Territorial government and that the crying need of the Third Division at the present time was increased industries for the people. Alaska must be built up through more industries and every encouragement possible must be given to all industries entering the field.
 T am not seeking the votes of the people because I am a woman, nor because I have been a resident of the Third Division for Is years" Mrs, Nafsted said, but am asking the support of all thinking voters who want progressive legislation and equal rights to all, special priv ileges to none"
 Mrs. Nafsted is the wife of Knute M. Nafsted, a pioneer resident of Alaska and one of Cordova's lead ing business men. She is a mem Der of the Cordova Republican Club. In the morning Mrs. Mai sted leaves for Anchorage, return ing to Seward next Friday.

Bean Beetles Common

Ohio has been experiencing Sc
we're attacks In gardens this year
from the Mexican bean beetle,
which is a copper-colored insect
about one-fourth inch long and
with 16 spots. This southern Wis
tor which has become common In
Ohio only In recent years may be
controlled by spraying with cal
cium arsenate at the rate Of one
pound of the arsenate and two
pounds of hydrated lime In. so gal
Ions of water, says the Ohio Farm
er. The same poisOns may be dust
ed before bean pods form on the
plants.
Barium fuosilicate sold under
various trade names is recommend
ed by several experiment stations.
The insects feed on the tissues of
the under side of the bean leaf, and
hence it is essential that the leaves
be sprayed or busted thoroughly
to get the poison material on the
lower side of the leaf.

return to their old home in the north, but his
appeal was all in vain.
Finally in desperation Dull Knife and Little
Wolf, the junior war chief, resolved to leave
their hated reservation. In the fall of 1878 they
started north and although six lines of military
barrier were thrown out to stop them, they cut
their way through three of these lines before
Dull Knife and part Of the Cheyennes were
captured in Nebraska. They were taken to Fort
Robinson, disarmed and imprisoned in an old
barracks.
Army officers, acting under instructions from
Washington, informed them that they must be
returned TO Indian Territory. Then, in the words
of an eyewitness:
The old Cheyenne war chief Dull Knife,
stepped slowly to the center of the circle, a
grim, lean figure
Never when riding at the head of hundreds
of his wild warriors, clad in the purple of his
race-leggings of golden yellow buckskn heav
lily beaded, blanket of dark blue broadcloth, war
bonnet of eagles feathers that trailed behind
him on the ground, necklace of bears claws, the
spOils of many deadly tusse-never in his life
did Dull Knife look more a chieftain than there
in his captivity and rags. He said:
"'All we ask is to be allowed to live, and to
live in peace l seek no with anyone. An
old man. my fighting days are done. We bowed
to the will of the Great Father and went far
into the south where he told US TO go. There
we found hyena cannot live Sickness came
among US that made mourning in every lodge
Then the treaty promises were broken, and our
rations were short Those not worn by disease
were wasted by hunger. To stay there meant
that all of US would die. Our petitions to the
Great Father were unheeded We thought ii
better to die fighting to regain our old homes
than to perish of sickness. Then our march was
begun. The rest you know.
"'Tell the Great Father Dull Knife and his
people ask only to end their days here in the
north where we were born. Tell him we want
no more war. We cannot live in the south :;
there is no game Here, when ratiOns are short
we cannot hunt. Tell him if he let's us stay
here Dull Knife's people will hurt no one

WE WILL BUTCHER EACH OTHER WITH
OUR OWN KNIVES. I HAVE SPOKENH"

later. But others escaped to their friends the

Gives Opinion Against
Confinement of Chicks

Don't confine chicks unless forced
to do so. is the recommendation Of
]. G. Taylor, poultry specialist at
the New Jersey experiment station.
Even semi-confinement is not ad-
vised this year, except under spe-
cial conditions.
In summing up the requirements
for the growth of healthy chicks,
Professor Taylor advises poultry
men to brood their birds with coal
brooders. Avoid overcrowding by
placing a small number of chicks
under each hover. See that the
chicks have plenty of fresh air in
the houses. that the food is kept
clean and that plenty of water is
supplied at all times. The fresh
air will help prevent overheating
at this time of the year. Also get
the chicks out on the ground at the
very earliest day.
If the ground Is full of disease
and clean soil cannot be provided,
the confinement system can be used
If proper precautions are taken to
avoid certain troubles that may
arise If the sanitation is not the
very best.-American Agriculturist.

Study Means to Put
End to Farm "Waste"
Specialists Seek Ways of
Using By-Products.

Each year we have made new
progress toward economic perfec-
tion on the farm and still there are
plenty Of waste materials. This
isn't because we are not careful
and willing to save, but because
means have not been found for
utilizing many of the things we
throw away. Raw materials to
make more than enough paper,
fiber boards, acetic acid, alcohols,
acetone and charcoal needed each
year in the United States Is found
in the straw or wheat, oats, barley,
rye and rice, stalks of corn and
sugar cane and wild marsh grasses.
The waste of these materials is
estimated at over 260,OOO,OOO tons
a year.
The chemists know about 1t and
so do the manufacturers. The trou-
BILE is that the materials are so
bulky and the expense of gathering
them is so great that they are not
wanted when more compact and
more easily handled stuff Is avail
able. Most of the paper and other
commercial goods mentioned above
are now made from other raw mate
rials, principally wood and corn.
The various materials named are
not wasted altogether, of course.
Most of them are returned to the
soil whence they came, to add some
humus and fertilizing value. Even
when they are burned, modicum
of valuable constituents is restored
to the earth for the benefit of sue
ceeding crops. 1t will be a good
day for agriculture, however, when
a greater number of by-products
yielding more directly and more
obviously a profit in the shape of
dollars can be made from some of
our so-called waste" materials of
the farm.

Turkey Breeding

If old tom turkeys are healthy
and full Of vigor and vitality it is
all right to use them with young
hens. 1t Is always best to use ma
ture hens for breeders, those that
are yearlings or two-year-olds gen.
orally prove the best as the eggs
from these are larger. AS a re-
suit the poults are stronger and
show better vitality than stock
which Is raised from young hens.
Young hens, however, can be sue
cessfully used If they are well de-
veloped and mated to old toms. Use
only one tom with the hens at a
time. Confine the gobbler that is
not used In roomy. well-ventilated
pen, giving him plenty of feed such
as mixed grains, grit, oyster shell,
a little meat scrap and plenty of
fresh water. Use the toms alter
nately.

Practices That Add to
Productivity of Farm

Differences in earnings of more
than $4,000 per farm have been re-
vealed in farm record studies in
the state of Illinois during the past
five years. Practices which help
give the higher incomes with little
or no cash outlay involve the use of
high yielding seeds tested for ger
mination, preparation of good seed
beds and control of weeds, crop dis
eases and insects, growing of high
er profit crops and protecting the
stands by proper cultivation, feed
ing Of balanced rations and controll-
ing Of live stock diseases, doing
farm jobs at the proper season, max
ing careful use of all manure, pro-
ducing according to markets and
keeping farm accounts.
Other practices which require
time or expense, but which helped
increase the average income in the
Illinois survey were the use of lime
stone where needed, growing of le-
gumes in a good crop rotation, use
Of phosphate and potash where pos
sible, proper arrangement of field
systems and provision of good
drainage, keeping of high produc-
ing live stock which are fitted to
the farm, and development Of a
large enough business to profitably
utilize all labor, power and ma
chinery.-Wallace's Farmer.

Poultry Outlook

The summary Of the program for
poultry as outlined in the "Agricul-
tural Outlook for 1892" and pub
lished by Iowa State college, is, in
our judgment, sound advice.
'Most farmers with general flocks
adapted to both meat and egg pro-
duction might well hold their pro-

ume as last year and put further
emphasis upon proper feeding, care

How many Of your hens are eat
Ing good feed and paying nothing
for it?
1t is now the time of the year to
summon your flock to court and
convict and sentence every loafer.
Before a flock can be culled in
telligently 1t must be fed the right
kind of ration to produce eggs, at
least six weeks before the culling
starts. This will give every hen
an opportunity to show what she
can do under right conditions.
A good standard ration that will
produce a maximum number of
eggs, and ration consisting large
ly of feeds available on the farm,
is as follows: Equal parts. by
weight, of fine yellow corn chop,
bran, shorts. ground oats or
ground barley, and meat scraps or
meat meal. Ground wheat may
be used for the bran and shorts,
and milk for half the meat.
The present low prices of eggs
emphasizes the value and impOr-
tance of culling. Only a hen with
a well developed, healthy body will
stand the strain of heavy laying.
Clear eyes. well-set body and an
active disposition are signs of vigor
and health, although there are many
robust hens, especially among the
heavy breeds, that are poor layers.
