THE LAST ROUND UP.
End of Cattle Grazing on Land
Occupied by Indians.
A Ring of Horsemen Around
Twenty Acres of Cattle.
The last general round up ever to
be on Indian lands has been made. E.
M. Hcwins, president of tho Ohcrokco
Strip Live Stock Association, has
rounded his herd of six thousand cat¬
tle in the Osage Nation, which was the
only large herd in the Indian country
remaining. The round up will be re¬
membered as the end of cattle grazing,
not only in tho Osage country, bul
in all the territory heretofore leased
by the Indians to cattle men.
The spring round ups began on the
western edgo of (he “Cherokee strip.”
The rounders worked from pasture to
pasture eastward until tho Osage Na¬
tion was reached and the end had
come.
On a recent Thursday all tho cow¬
boys on tho Hewing ranch were in the
saddle at 4 o’clock, and by 11 o’clock
the sixty-five thousand acre pasture
had been thoroughly surrounded and
(he cattle were gradually moving to¬
ward the centre of the range, where
the round up was to tako place. By 9
o’clock nearly seven thousand cattle,
including strays, had been gathered
into a radius of about three miles
square. Then began the careful work
of closing in without causing a stam¬
pede. Slowly the catlle were brought
up over a raise, the summit of which
overlooked Alum Creek Valley, about
ten miles south of the northern Terri¬
torial boundary. Beyond the summit
was a basin forming a huge circle,
comprising an area containing about
four thousand acres, und in that tho
round up was to tako place.
A moment later and a stampede
seemed inevitable. The steers had
sighted the grove of shade trees and
the daring ami skilful riders were
scarcely seen and nothing heeded ns
thoinad rush was made toward the
grove.
Those of the spectators who had
seen such sights bciorc knew at o.nce
what the result would be, and they
immediately apprised the others that it
would be wise for everyone to make
hurried arrangements to climb the
nearest trees. And this was dono
barely in time, for on eamo the herd
running madly, heeding nothing, un¬
til fully half of it had dashed across
and beyond the stream, raising a cloud
of dust that for a tiino obscured all
the surroundings, and laying waste all
that was in their way. After another
hour’s hard driving tho entire? herd
was again surrounded and forced into
submission down in the lowland.
When this was accomplished the
picture became intensely interesting.
The outsiders were indeed masters of
the situation as they patrolled the rear
lino of the beard’s onward inarch. A
hundred expert horsemen were then in
sight forming a ring on the outside of
the herd that was meant to be and did
prove to bo impassable. Each horse¬
man led from two to three horses,
changing from time to time to a fresh
steed. All this time the “cut-out” ex¬
perts leading these extra horses camo
up leisurely in the rear. At eleven
o’clock the round-up had been made
and the majority of tho rounders gal¬
loped away toward tho “chuck”
wagon for dinner, while a few of their
number kept the herd from spreading.
The cattle were at this time thorougly
massed and standing side by side.
As they stood they covered an area
of frqtn twenty to twenty-five acres.
As th4y moved slowly and restlessly
among each other they had the ap¬
pearance of a great swarm of bees.
Presently there began a concerted slow
movetn nt called “milling,” and soon
the dust became so dense that tho
whole scene was enveloped, and not
even the daring cowboys could be
discerned. This was kept up for
about fifteen minutes, when a passing
gust of wind bore the clouds of dust
west and revealed the herd once moro
quieted and the cowboys in commaud.

An East Indian Romance,
It would seem, says tho Times ot
India, that romantic lovers are still to
be found on the banks of the Hooghly.
In a village culled Tangail another
case of “Villikins and his Dinah” was
enacted a few days ago. A young
Calcutta graduate, on being disinherit¬
ed by bis father for marrying a lady
of the reformed class against his fath¬
er’s wishes, agreed with his “dearly
beloved” to put an end to their exis¬
tence by opium poisoning. They bade
adieu to each other and swallowed
opinm. The lady died the next morn¬
ing; “the young graduate revived,” it
is said, under the influence of a stom¬
ach pump and other medical aid, and
is living now, after paying a penalty
of forty rupees for his “rash” act.

1X)R FARM AND GARDEN.
TOTATOKS A GOOD, AH-ROtTND CROP.
Tuko one year with another, pota¬
toes are as profitable a crop as farmers
can grow, provided tho soil and con¬
ditions aro favorable. Moro often
than with any other crop they yield
extreme profits, thus frequently lead¬
ing to excossive planting nnd conse¬
quent glut in the market. But even
in these unfavorable seasons those who
have been able to seem c heavy crops
can almost always sell at a good price
some time during tho year. Wo havo
often known potatoes to remain very
cheap through fall and winter, and
suddenly become dear ns planting time
approached, or after planting and
before the new crop canio into mar¬
ket.— [Courier Journal.
S21AI,I. HOUSES WEAR SHOES?
This old question comes up fresh
each year, and most writers seem to
forget that it is largely a matter of lo¬
cality. Where there are no turnpikes
most horses may go barefoot tho en-
tiro year, but where, as in southwest¬
ern Ohio, limestone gravel is abund¬
ant, and every road coated with it, not
one unshed horse in a thousand can
ftaml a week's work barefooted, and
when the roads are sloppy so as to keep
the hoof soft, the sand and gravel will
very 60011 scour it to the quick when
drawing a heavy load.
I have seen hoofs worn in one day’s
work so that the horse could scarcely
walk the next day. Something may
be done to give the horse hoofs of
good shape by trimming them when
lie is a colt, if need be, and by keep¬
ing him on an earth floor, rather than
on plank, but on a gravel road that
often wears an iron shoe as thin as a
wafer in less than ninety days, it is
impossible to work a horse long bare¬
footed.— [New York Tribune.
SI (HR-BEETS FOR 110(13.
During August nnd September the
pastures are dry, and some kind of
green, succulent food is greatly rel¬
ished by pigs and stock hogs. If a bed
of beets is near the pasture, where
they can be pulled and thrown over
the fence every day, the good ell'ect
can lie noticed. Where tho rows arc
cultivated with corn plows, they should
be at least threo feet apart, and sown
very early in the spring, so that a good
start may be made before dry weather
conies.
Caro must, bo exercised to keep
ahead of the weeds by raking the
ground frequently—before they hard¬
ly appear, in fact—or a great amount
of work will be necessary to get tho
ground clean. All the catalogues give
tho names of the different, sorts and the
proper quantity of seed per acre. Any
that are not used in tho fall can be
pitted nnd used in early spring when
they are needed. Mangels yield rather
more tons to the aero, but are not as
profitable for swine as tho sugar-beets
are. If used at all, mangels must be
fed sparingly and in connection with
other foo 1, or serious results may en¬
sue.— [American Agriculturist.
IMPORTANT POINTS IN POPLTRV REARING.
In a report from tho experiment
farm, Ottawa, Canada, attention is
called to the following points:
1. Make liens lay when eggs are
dearest.
2. Breed stock when eggs are
cheap.
3. Keep a non-sitting breed to lay
when sitters are hatching, and pay ex¬
penses of the latter.
4. Breed as many chickens as pos¬
sible and as early as possible. They
all represent so much money.
5* Keep nil the puilets. They are
worth $2 each as prospective early
winter layers.
C. Kill or otherwise dispose of all
hens after three years of age.
7. Breed tho best flesh-formers for
market. Feed them up to as great a
weight as possible.
8. Well fattened, well dressed
poultry will bring the best prices from
the best customers.
9. If not accustomed to poultry,
begin with a small number. Learn to
make a success of the few, then go on
with a larger number.
10. Do not neglect tho little essen¬
tials to success, such as lime, gravel,
meat, plenty of clean water, green
food, dust bath, etc., regularly sup¬
plied to layers.
GIVING MEDICINES.
Every fanner and horse owner iu
the country where tho veterinarian is
not accessible should knowhow to give
sick animals simple remedies, and
such medicines as the doctor pre-
scribes. Ordiuary fluid medicines
may be given from a common, thick,
strong bottle. The auinial should bo
backed against tho corner of the stall,
the head raised just high enough to
enable the animal to swallow com-
fortablv. A little practice will eii-
able the operator to perform this as
well as any other dexterous art. Gen¬
tle firmness and patience will he nec¬
essary.
If the fluid or ball ne placed well
back in the mouth so that the tongue
can not expel the medicines, and the
head and nose held at sufficient height
so that the fluid will run down by the
natural laws of gravitation,the feat will
be readily accomplished. Self reliance
is an important factor in every voca-
tfjn, and (act will follow thoughtful
practice. To intoUl^outly will, and
to do, are essential to every successful
human cflort. The hall is held be¬
tween the first and middle finger, aud
the hand thus made long and narrow
so ns to reach well back.—[American
Agriculturist.
THE VIUTUE IN SAI.T.
There is virtue in salt, although
many porsons will persistently assuro
us that it is not a plant food and not a
fertilizer. Plant food is understood
by the simple minded man to be some¬
thing or anything that is taken in by
plants and of which the evidences are
found in the plants. While, in an
analysis of the plant, no mention will
be found of salt, yet tho elements of
which salt consists, viz., soda and
chlorine, are found in all plants moro
or less, and in some these exist in con¬
siderable quantity.
Thus in the ash of meadow hay there
is eight per cent, of chlorine and seven
per cent, of soda; in the ash of beets
there is eleven and one-quarter per
cent, of chlorine and twenty-ono por
cent, of soda, and every experienced
root grower knows how useful 600
pounds of salt per acre always is to
this crop. Consequently Balt is a
plant food and necessarily a fertilizer.
But it has been said that salt cannot
be of use on lands near the sea because
the rains must bring up salt in suffi¬
cient quantity for the supply of plants.
But this is not at all satisfactory,
and'just as lime is found useful on
soils having abundance of limestone in
tbem, so salt has been found very use¬
ful on farms in sight of the sea. Tho
fact is that salt is a valuable fertilizer
for several crops, as grass, oats, roots,
cabbages, clover, wheat and barley,
and that farmers who use it liberally
have been quite satisfied with tho re¬
sults should be taken as of more im¬
portance than the belief of other per¬
sons who have never tried it.— [New
York Times.

Holland’s Black Pensioners.
In a recent letter (lcsci%ing a trip
down the African west coast the writer
says that at a town on the Gold Coast
he saw a one-armed African and an¬
other one with only one leg, both oi
whom, he was told, drew a very com¬
fortable pension from the Dutch gov¬
ernment. If his stay had been pro¬
longed he would probably have seen
quite a number of ttesc pensioners.
It is almost forgotten now that as late
as nineteen years ago Holland had
large interests on the Gold Coast,
which in 1871 she turned over to Eng¬
land. She had taken hundreds of her
African subjects to tho East Indies to
serve in her army there.
They made very good soldiers, aud
some of them enlisted again and again
after their terms of service had ex¬
pired, and only seven or eight year s
ago they were still going home in little
squads, traveling at the cost of Hol¬
land; and all who had been disabled
or had served a certain number of
years felt very comfortable, because
they knew their names were on the
Dutch pension rolls. So it happened
that quite a sum of money from Hol¬
land still finds its way down to tho
Gold Coast every year to be distribut¬
ed among the black veterans of tho
Dutch East Indies army.— [Times-
Dcmocrat.
The Milk Cure.
A great deal has been said about the
treatment of dyspepsia by a course of
milk diet. This treatment should only
be used in hyperhydrocbloric dyspep¬
sia. It should not be kept up too long;
a period of two weeks seems to me
quite sufficient. Tho milk regime
should not bo discontinued abruptly,
but the absolute milk diet should be
followed by a mixed milk diet, when
eggs, toast, etc., should he allowed.
Care must be taken that the milk be
not drank in excess; it is absolutely
useless to go beyond should'be three litres a day,
which amount taken at regu¬
lar intervals of two hours. Whenever
distension of the stomach is associated
with byperhydroehloric dyspepsia the
milk cure will be^ absolutely counter.

Bring Up Children Rationally.
It is as natural to a child to be happy

they need a certain amount of “letting

to hamper their children with foolish re¬
strictions. D > not fancy your boy is
made of glass. Grant a reasonable re¬
quest, and let him feel that when you re¬
fuse, it is for his own good. The young¬
est child needs some sort of agreeable physi¬ oc¬
cupation, and a certain amount of
cal freedom. There is nothing more pain¬
ful to young people than to feel that life
is one dull routine, and that “nothing
ever happens, ” as we once heard a discon¬
solate lad remark.

It was Ben Johnson, we be¬
lieve, who, when asked Mai-
lock’s question, “ Is life worth
living ? ” replied “ That de-
pends on the liver." And Ben
Johnson doubtless saw the
double point to the pun.
The liver active— quick-
mountains life rosy, of everything trouble bright,
melt like
mountains of snow.
The liver sluggish—life dull,
everything rise into blue, molehills of
worry mountains of
anxiety, and dizziness, as a result—sick
headache, constipa¬
tion.
Two ways are open. Cure
permanently, or relieve tem¬
porarily. Take a pill and suf¬
fer, or take a pill and get well.
Shock the system by an over¬
dose, or coax it by a mild,
pleasant way.

We offer you a ready made medicine
for Coughs, Bronchitis and other dis¬
eases of the Throat and Lungs. Like
other so-called Patent Medicines, it is
well advertised, and having merit it has
attained to a wide sale. Call it a “Nos¬
trum” if you will, but believe us when
we say that at first it was compounded
after a prescription by a regular physi¬
cian, with no idea that it would ever go
on the market as a proprietary medicine.
Why is it not just as good as though
costing fifty cents to a dollar for a pre¬
scription and an equal sum to have it put
up at a drug store?
