Indian Zdnaction That Carats.The Indian school at Chilocco has

just graduated the largest class in its'history, and some of its graduates andmany of its other classes will'helptfBersugar beet raisers in the vicinity ofRocky Ford, Co!., during 'the'vacaYkm.Over 130 of the young Indians are nowengaged in this work in that district,and wilt remain there until the crop isall gathered. They will be back in theschool in the fall, ready to resume theirstudies.

At 'Chilocco and many of the othergovernment schools the young Indiansget the right sort of education to fitthem for their new role in life. Theeducation is equally divided betweenthe books and the workshops. Theboys and girls are taught all that isimparted in 'the ordinary grammarschools of the country, and a littlemore, in some cases. In addition theboys" are taught to make and repairharness, to shoe horses, to buildhouses, to do farm work of varioustorts, to raise and care for cattle, and.some of the rest of the things thatneed to be done in the average community in the west or east. The girlsare instructed, by actual practice, incooking, baking, laundering, nursing,sewing and other work suitable totheir sex.

This is the education that counts,says the St. Louis Globe-Democr- at

The Chilocco school was in practicaloperation at the St Louis world's fair,and was one of its most attractive fea-

tures. It was visited by hundreds ofthousands of people during the sevenmonths of the fair. Admiration for itssystem and for the intelligence andgood behavior of its pupils was ex-

pressed on every hand. SuperintendentS. M. McCowan, the head of the school,was here with it, and won uigh praisefor the thoroughness and practicalcharacter of the work of his pupils.The United States government mademany mistakes in its dealings with theIndUns in the old days, but for thepast quarter of a century it has beenon the right track. Chilocco, Carlisle.Haskell and the rest of the great gov-

ernment schools are doing a good workin training the young Indians of bothexes to help to intelligently bear so-

ciety's burdens.

Chinese Students' Uniforms.The establishment of government

schools in China, and the equipmentof students in uniforms is furnishinga market for military clothing. Ac-

cording to the British consul at Wu-cho- w

CO of these schools have beenojiened in that prefectorate alone. Theuniform consists of a coat and trousersof foreign cut, with brass buttons andpeak caps, and shoes of foreign pat-

tern. The material used is eitherserge, union cloth or cotton tweed forwinter uniforms, and for summerwear any light cotton cloth. In thestrictly military schools khaki isworn. All the uniforms seen appearto be of British cloth, but there is arule, which is evidently ignored, thatonly native material be used. Caps,buttons and braid all come from Ja-pan. The shoes are said to be ofHongkong manufacture, but a very in-

ferior kind is made locally of nativeleather. The cost of a uniform of cot-

ton tweed, the cheapest, is only 3.C0

Mexican (91-8- 0 American currency)made tc order; a set of buttons, livein a set, costs 20 cents, and cap from40 cents to $2.20; shoes from 91.10 to$2;2j)v Quality in every case Is ex-

tremely poor. This uniform, the con-Fu- ll

adds,' is becoming fashionableamong the younger male generation inthai part of China, and every childwhose parents can afford the expenseis now decked out as a miniature stu-dent.

Aboutten species of the plant are knownand they are cultivated in Asia andAfrica, being extensive in the regionsof Algiers and Oran. Prior to ma-

turity the fruit is edible; when theMage of ripeness, however, has been

Fine specimenswhen bleached in a weak lime bathare sold at about a nickel apiece.Paris is at present the chief marketfor most of the vegetable spongesgrown in Algiers. They are suitablenot only for toilet and bathroom, butalso for domestic purposes.

THE FAJtMEB'S CREED!

The followfhgls "suggested by Prof.Irbyirol the North Carolina State col-

lege, as the sort of creed to whichtil progressive farmers should sub-

scribe and religiously adhere:We believe in small, well-tille- d

farms; that the soil must be fed aswell as the owner, so that the cropsshall make the farm and the farmerrich:

We tielieve in thorough drainage, indeep plowing, and in labor saving im-

plements.We believe in good fences, barns

conveniently arranged, good orchardsand gardens, and plenty of home-raise- d

hog and hominy.We believe in raising pure-bre- d

stock or in grading up the best to begotten; they equal the thoroughbreds.

We believe in growing the bestrarietieic of farm crops and saving thechoicest for teed.

We believe in fertilizing the brainwith phosphorus as well as applyingit to the soil.

We believe In the proper care andapplication of barn-yar- d manure.

We believe that the best fertilizersare of little value unless accompaniedoy industry, enterprise and intelli-gence.

We believe in rotation, diversifica-tion and thorough cultivation ofcrops.

We believe that every farm shouldown a good farmer and every goodfarmer will eventually own a goodfarm.

RABBIT TRAPS.

One of the incidents and expenses oforcharding on a large scale not likelyto be thought of by the casual observerIs the constant warfare which it is nec--sssary to wage on the rabbits so likelyto work great destruction to young ap-

ple trees. This is illustrated by thepperations of Wellhouse & Son, of To-ek- a,

Kan., who are recognized as theApple Kings, as reported by E. D.Coburn. For their orchard in Osagecounty they used a carload of lumbertn the construction of 1,700 rabbittraps; for their three orchards inLeavenworth county they have 1,600Xraps, and in a Miami county orchard400 traps. These consist of a box 22inches long, made 'of ordinary six-inc- h

lumber, one inch thick, closed at one2nd, and with an inward-swingin- g wiregate in the other end, which is shutby contact of the rabbit with a triggerafter he has fairly entered. About fourfeet of lumber aud four feet of No. 12galvanized iron wire are consumed inhe making of eacn trap, which "costs,

complete, about 12A to 15 cents. Thistiap, as now constructed, is consideredwell nigh perfect, cost and efficiencyconsidered, and is the result of 20years of experimenting in makingtraps, and studying the nature andhabits of 'the rabbits. In this connec-tion the word rabbit applies only tothe ordinary cotton-ta- il and not to thelarger jack-rabb- it, which the Messrs.Wellhouse say is not especiallytroublesome to the apple trees.

RILL THE WEEDS.

The best time to root out a trouble-some weed is the first time you noticeone growing on your land. It will takebut a minute then, as it is just oneplant, or one little patch of plants.Some of the meanest weeds that everpestered the farmer could be gottenrid of if every farmer would do thus.But the farms are large and the farm-ers are hurried and the weeds are leftgtowing until there is more time, andthen the seeds have ripened and beenscattered to the four winds to seed allthe farm and all the farms joining, andweeds, bad weeds, are increasing allthe time. Such weeds as bull thistles,cockleburs, ragweeds and burdockshould be rooted out as soon as possi-ble. They are bad, bad weeds, andwhen they get a foothold are very hardto get rid of. The burdock is the onlyone that the root lives through thewinter, but the seed crop is so largeand not being destroyed before the.seeds are ripened is the cause ofspreading the above-mention- ed weeds.The average farmer does not allowthese to grow through carelessness al-

together. The main reason is he un-dertakes too much and has his handsmore than full of work saving his hay,wheat and oats, and these weeds ripenand shed "their seeds while he is sovery busy. How nice it would be ifevery farm could be clear of all theobnoxious weeds. There are newweeds being brought into our countryby getting new seeds from other states.

THE BARBERRY AS A HEDGINGPLANT.

Among the many bright spots inchildhood's memory there is none whichgave mere pleasure than that of the'barberry hedge which grew near theold schoolhouse; that hedge which fur-nished us shade during the hot noon-time play hour. The bushes with theirdeep green foliage, racemes of yel-low flowers and hidden thorns thatprevented their destruction, and later,the bright scarlet berries hanging un-til late in winter, perhaps the glassesof barberry jelly that graced ourmother's pantry shelves and gaverelish to the bread and butter eatenat school intensify that memory.

This was over 30 years ago, but thebarberry hedge still stands, furnishingshade for other children now, puttingout leaves and flowers, and maturingits berries as then.

At a time when there is so muchcall for hedging plants for our subur-ban homes why would it not be well toplant more barberries? Hardy, hand-some, easily cared for and protected bysharp thorns from the depredations ofstock it seems to me to be one of ihemost desirable plants for the purpose,while its fruit finds a ready marketwherever known.

The best man in the business musthave the right kind of a cow to makea success of dairying.

BULK IN SWINE FOOD.

Swine are by nature omnivorousfeeders. They eat flesh, herbage, ce-

reals, roots and fruits. Their food Intheir natural state has a good deal ofbulk. The bad results sometimes ob-tained by feeders is due to forgetful-nes- s

of this fact. The salvation ofpigs kept in confinement has been thegeneral impression that swill was pre-eminently a hog feed. This has givenbulk to an otherwise condensed ration.The pig has to a large extent been thevictim of a wrong system of feeding.He has been too often confined in asmall space and fed a condensed ration. As a result disease and deathhave cut shortthe profits of the bigraisers. The feeding of a ration ofcereals is not in keeping with thenatural requirements of the porcinemoney maker. It is not a difficult mat-ter for the swine feeder to increasegreatly the bulk of food fed. Silage,loots and vegetables can be led in thewinter. If the fanner have not thesehe can feed clover hay. This should becut in a feed cutter and soaked by

water over it. To this maybe added the meal or other concen-trate that is to be fed.

THE STUDY OF BEES.

Nothing on the farm, or anywhereelse for that matter, is more interest-ing than our honey bee. One can watchthem lor hours and never tire in theleast. Nothing is busier, nothing is.more exact in its work, no mechaniccould possibly be more exact in hismeasurements than is the honey bee.The l'fe of the bee, though short, isa busy one. They simply wear outtheir wings in flight seeking honey,and then give out by the wayside anddie. Knowing all this they are con-tinually rearing more young to takethe place of the ones that die. Thusit is one continual workday in oneway or another for the little honey bee.Every move counts for something.Every bit of pollen has its place. Youwill seldom one piece of work un-dertaken until the last one is finished.Each cell is brought to completion andthen it is all over the section oneafter another. From these little workers one can learn many valuable les-sons that will be of great worth if weonly rut into practice what we learnfrom them.

MEDICINES AND POULTRY.

We are convinced that doctoringpoultry is of little avail. Probablybirds could be cured if they wouldhave their diseases diagnosed as hu

do be a f watercourse oi treatment Involving the giv-ing of medicine several times a day.But that is not possible to most ofthose that keep poultry. Therefore,the onlj system that is practical is tokill all very sick fowls, especially ifthey have a contagious Thenkeep aud feed the ethers rightly, go-ing through the flock every month orso and carefully inspecting every oneof the birds to see if they have roupor other contagious disease.

PEANUT BUTTER.

The manufacture of peanut butter Ison the increase and is becoming an im-portant commercial product. "Peanutbutter is made by grinding peanutsvery fine," said a gentleman the otherday, "and reducing the mass to a pastysubstance, a portion, at least, of thelarge amount of oil contained beingremoved. Some salt is added forflavoring , and the result is a cheapand nourishing 'spread' for crackersand bread, the nutritious value ofwhich is now recognized by manyphysicians. Nuts have always beenknown contain fat and strength-givin- g

Plant most of the garden in rows,and cultivate it with a horse. You cando more in one hour than you can in aday with a hoe, and so much easier.

POULTRY NOTES.

Yon need not expect your heas tolay regularly if you confine them to adiet of corn. Vary their food as muchas possible.

There is simply no excuse oa anyfarm for not furnishing shade andplenty of pure fresh water for the poul-try.

Millet seed is the finest food forchickens as well as older fowls. Scat-tered among dry leaves it will make adrove of chickens busy and happy forhours. Not only is it a healthful food,but it requires healthful exercise toget it. '

Lime is cheap, is a good disinfectant,is easily secured, and is one" of the bestpurifiers, and should be used often asa wash for coops, perches, nest boxesand the sides or the house. Don't failto sprinkle it liberally and often on thefioors of the chicken house and thecoops.

Go out to the hen house and lookat the pan you have been giving thefowls their water in and see how fullof straw and other litter it is. Thentake an old cheese box, split it halfway round the side, put the dish ofwater on top of that and note the dif-ference there will be in cleanliness.The water pan ought never to beplaced so that the hens can dig stuffover the edge into it.

If the poultry house is in such condition as to allow rats to run underthe floor, the farmer may as well giveup the poultry business. They areworse than any disease the fowls mayhave. When the house is built it isvery easy to put wire netting such asis used for the small chicks under thefloors. If you have not done this, an-other easy way to keep out rats is toput in a cement floor. It may cost lit-tle more than fixing up the woodenfloor, but it is safe against rats anda wooden floor is not. If wire meshIs put in with the cement when thefloor is laid it will be all the better;

MAKING A GOOD MILKER.

The real good milker is made thefirst year. But this is not meant thatbreeding is a matter of no importance,but she must be made to do good serv-ice the first season if she is to keep itup. Letting the calf suck the first sea-son or permitting it to run with thedam is a very bad way to make a goodmilker.

DILAPIDATED FARMHOUSES.

The evidence of habit-ual neglect may be seen in many waysabout the place, and the aggregationot these little things which resultfrom carelessness or thoughtlessnessgoes to give the farm a run down ap-pearance which it does not deserve,and which it would not have if carewas taken to keep things in a condi-tion of good order.

Go over the potato patch with aharrow when the young plants are be-

ginning to come up, and you will de-

stroy all the weeds and leave the patchin such fine condition that but littlehoeing will be needed thereafter. Thepotatoes will get the start of theweeds, and the weeds may then bekept down with the horse cultivator.

Citizens Likely to Bay Hall of Justiceat Okmulgee, I. T., Where Indian

Crimes Were Judged andCriminals Executed.

Okmulgee, Ind. T. In the eventthat Okmulgee becomes a county seatunder statehood the citizens of thecounty are more than likely to buythe old Creek council house for a courtbuilding.

. The council house is one of the his-toric buildings in the Indian terri-tory. - It is made of a very fine gradeof sandstone called cotton rock andis situated in a yard shaded by ma-ple trees three-quarte- rs of a centuryold. The building itself is two stor-ies high, square in form, with theconventional ball tower on its top. Asmall marble tablet near the northfront door bears the inscription:'Muskogee National Capitol. ErectedA. D. 1878. Building Committee-Ja- mes

McHenry, W. F. Brown andJohn Mcintosh."

The council house was not only theseat of the Creek legislature, but itserved the Indians as a hall of jus-tice for the trial of their prisoners.Beneath the cluster of trees on theshady side of the walk many a pris-oner has been executed within thepast 28 years. These executions werealways solemn affairs. The prisoner.after a dignified farewell to his fam-ily and friends, took his stand withhis back to the tree and calmlyawaited the shot from the lighthorse-man- 's

pistoi, which was to put out hislife.

Sometimes, however, the executionstook place in the small cemetery onthe hill beyond the present Friscotracks. The last Creek execution oc-

curred there in July. 1898. The vic-tim was a young Uitche who had com-mitted his third horsetheft. Therewas a large crowd in Okmulgee thatday. The young Indian was takento the cemetery on horseback. Whenthe prisoner with his escort arrivedthemen bad just finished digging thegrave. A few songs were sung, aprayer was offered up in which thevictim joined and the Indian sheriff.Berryhill, stepped from the crowd,Colts revolver in hand, to do his duty.When the fatal shot was fired theyoung Uitche's eyes were sweepingthe lovely Creek hills and uplands.He fell with a smile on his face.
