QUEER INDIANS.
A Remarkable Tribe Surround¬
ed by'a Natural Wall.
An Interesting' Account of the
SupatCnnon'a Aborigines.
Ben Wltflck, a well-known photo-
grapljpii J>£ AUniijnerque, New Mexico.
lias ben visli’mg friends in Miuncapo-
iis, and to him Iho Journal is indebted
for a most IntereVting and tfcchrate lic¬
count of die Navu-Supais of the Supai
canon. Home time ago lie went to
New Mexico, settling at Albuquerque.
Being a man of adventurous turn of
mi d lie look a trip up the canon and
located the tribe Ln the narrow, valley- j
like enclo--uro between tire mighty
walls of (ho Snpai canon. Snpni is a
name which Mr. Snpai gave the ca^on
lmnsoif nffior itatv.ng made a trip to
the region.
On reachin (bo canon be found the
Indians in llio midst of a marvellously ;
fer ile valley, dimiuutivo ns it is,
where all tor s of grains and fruits
,
grow in ranl^pmfp|ipn, where .there
nre splendid climatic influences nearly
the twel v-9ii onth through, and where
all that iwrfds to build up physical
powers is at band, lie made invest!-
gatioiiSjRfb, rites inlo their language, their j
ami cciemoni s, tiieir legends, j
and in o all ihe phases of tiieir piesotit
and past history possible, and lie is
confined in the-belief that they nre
in no way allied to the Aztecs. Ho
safs, pit the oofitrary, that as far as
forth be :tfce,r;ained they tiro allied to
tlie IV'alinpai.
Tlie tribu is a most singular one.
Tlmir valley home has on cither side
great ledges of rocks running up in
benches ‘thousands of feet. In the
valley are groves of col ton wood trees,
and'a luxuriant vegetation is seen on
all sides. There aro about 215 or 250
in the tribe of the Supai. They live
absolutely nl.iiiq- They do not inter'
marry with other tribes, neither do
they mix with the scattering white
people of the regions round about.
W^icn they arg in need of f rage or
food outside of that which they cau
get in their own rich valley, they sally
out,.make their trades or puiclin-es,
nndji^ftini n„e.' *“
^lhcy tiro njonogainUls, every inan
having one Vv ifc and no more. They
do not live in a communal form ci t he ”,
but pre erve the family in its integ¬
rity. The *¥ «r men are a little aboyo the
• .
average und heiglit, they arc strong mid
active, they are noted for their
skill in climbing tlie mountains and in
bringing down the g one they need.
They are very shy and suspicious of
Indians from other tribes, and it is
only by the most careful and adroit
them meai^AtTiut a white man can approach
and gain any reformation as to
their ’
Tite'wbmen aro smaller in stature,
very foud\rt**MlTtn?ifent. utul given to
fantastic decoratiqns of t’.eir faces.
The Supai Indians appear to bo far
above many other tribpa in morals.
Ttomook with scorn upon any one
wlfo asks them questions as lo their
married lelations, holding that this
is ho one’s business but their own.
Mr. WliUtlek found eleven of tho
men totaBy blind. He believes tbis to
bo due to tlie splitting of the arrows

FUMING IN AND FENCING OFT.
Pen es cost farmers more than gov-
eminent, schools and religion.
If you would teach tho horses to get
over good fences, put poor fences iu
their way.
Usually the man who allows weeds
to grow iu the fenoo corners thereby
partly conceals a poor fcucc; but the

Two-thirds of our fencing is re¬
quired to restrain one-tenth of the

WINTER DAIRYING roil PROFIT.
The pmclice of having the cows
fresh in ihe fall and winter ought to
become more general; t‘ e yearly re¬
turns from the herd would he largely
augmented. In the first place tlie
cows must be kept through the win¬
ter, whether they give milk or not. if
they be we.l kept the milk supply will
more than pay all the feed bills, and
they wifi freshen up on grass in
spring, and yield as much as though
newly calved. The price of nutter is
always higher in winter, and tempera¬
tures favor the manufacture of a bet¬
tor and more uniform article. During
tho months of July and August milk
and dairy products are usually the
lowest; then is tlie season for tlie cow
lo run dry and recuperate, for then it
is that nature supplies food without
cos , and the cow’s unprofitable term
is passed ow r at the minimum cost for
keep.—[Indiana Farmer.
Ttn: son. is inexhaustible.
One foot in depth of a fairly good
agricultural soil contains 4000 pounds
of phosphoric aeul; 8000 pounds of
potash; 16,000 pounds of nitrogen and
lime, magne i t, soda, chlorine, sulphur
and silica to afford food for all the
cr ips which these three elements cau
feed per acre. After farmers by care,
fttl and skillful cu tivatiou have ex-
liansted all ihis great store of plant
food in ihe uppermost foot of his soil,
which will require several centuries,
will the soil be exhausted? Not at all.
As tho land is gradually changed
into vegetable growth, and the surface
is removed as farm crops, it as gradu¬
ally deepens, and the subsoil which
contains tlie very same element be¬
comes fitted for plant soil. And thus
the im; erishable nature of matter ap¬
plies to the soii, which can never be
exhausted during all tlie ages which arc
to come. All that mankind has to do
is to use its arts under the instruction
of science to develop this latent for-
(iljlvof the soil, and to go on feedii)«'
the human race until tlie end, if an end
ever shall come u hen the earth will no
longer exist as a lit habitation for man¬

V l.UMl.XTKD IMG FEED.
A pig feeder of nearly forty years’
experience, who says he has “been
called the iiogman” and made money
in this business, maintains, in the
Michigan Farmer, that whey, butter¬
milk, skimmilk and cooked food sh uld
fe ment. before being fed. lie adds
that fermentation in tho stomach is a
necessary preliminary to digestion;
therefore, why not assist nature and
thus save loss of valuable bogs by the
fatal practice of giving sweet feed?
Ile cites an agricultural college experi¬
ment “of feeding' a lot of pigs just
weaned on dry corn-nval and wet u;>
with wat-’r; the result was a lot of
hum; ed-backed, scabby, lame pigs,
tho grease fairly running out of their
backs.”
Now pigs can be k’llod by feeding
'clear corn-meal uu fermented or fer-
m iited. Clear corn-meal is not a
proper food in any form; is too con¬
centrated; therefore not easily digest¬
ed; also contains too much carbon:
creates fever and inflammation. So
much f. r corn-meal alone for young
pigs. A very skilful man could feed
fermented food without injuring his
pi.'S. Most men are unskilful; there¬
fore tho praclico is not a good one.
Far more hogs are killed from fer.
mentation than by feeding foods
sweet.
'ihe (rouble is to regulate the amount
or degree of fermentation. As swill-
barrels arc usually managed tho fer¬
mentation and accumulation of putre¬
faction are eo great ihat the contents
aro simply poisonous, and a great
many hogs are killed by such food.
Fermentation always reduces the
amount of uu rition. as the sugar and
Larch are turned into add, aud add is
not food. This kind of fermentation
is d Hi;tout from tlu processes of di¬
gestion.
A pig may cat more volume of for-
mented food and requires more for a
full meal than if the food was sweet.
Mistakes am made here, and a gorged
stomach of such hearty food as butter-
milk might result in injury; but the
trouble is an excess of food—not that
it is sweet, for buttermilk is rarely
ever sweet. 1 have fed thousand* of
hogs on sweet fo j<l and never lost one
for (his cause. Thousands of hogs

mented aeelic foods, the practice is

The greatest profit I have ever been
able to make in eggs lias been on lliosc
laid by my neighbor’s fowls, writes C-
S. Ilill. There is a month of every
year wlien tho price is down to eight
or ten cents a dozen. Six months later
they sell readily at eighteen to twenty
cents. My plan is to buy when they
are cheapest, and sell when they aro
dearest. By paying, easli I liavo all
1 want brought to inv d tor with no
tl0ttble or cx l>enso of gathering them
n I’- The process ot' preserving them
in good condition for a lmlf year is
very simple.
Slake a peek of dean lime, pour in
six pails of water, and drop in three
quarts of salt. .Stir- until all is dis¬
solved; then let it settle, and it is
ready for use. Pack tlie eggs in jars,
pour on the thinner lime wafer, covet'
tlie jar with a cloth, and over this
spread a coating of tlie thicker por¬
tion of the lime. Tho eggs will keep
as long as you will wish the n to. Tho
jars must not be filled too full, as the
water must not be allowed lo got be¬
low the tops of the eggs. Each peck
of lime will preserve more than a
hundred dozen of eggs.
A six-gallon jar will hold twenty
dozen of eggs if 'ightly packed. The
expense is very little, the jars will last
many years, and the returns are suro
and not far in the future. If the
fowls insist on laying when eggs are
cheap, that does not signify that one is
compelled to rush them into a glutted
market. The biggest part of the profit
lies in holding them. In the fall or
early winter you can do the marketing
at your leisure, and get twice as much
money for what you have to sell.—

The Handsomest Corals.
The largest quantity and handsomest
corals come from the Algerian Coast.
Th so coral grounds have been worked
snee the middle of the Six ccnth Cen¬
tury. Other coral grounds aro found
on tlie coast of Sicily, Corsica, Sar¬
dinia, Spain, the Balcarics and Prov¬
ence. (More than 500 Italian b.irk .ml
over 4200 persons are engaged in the
coral fishery. Besides these, French
and Spanish barks arc engaged in tho
same occupation. The Italian fisher¬
men pay a high royalty- to the French
Government for their right of fishing
for corals on (lie Algerian Coast.
There aro more than sixty coral work¬
shops In Italy, forty of which arc in
the little town, Torre dol Greco, at tho
foot of Vesuvius. These shops give
employment to about 9000 persons,
mostly women and children.

may bo used, while tho curtains lie

PUKE SODA AND OKEAM-TARTAR.
Housekeepers who know how much
better cake soda and cream-tartar
make than baking powder and
still use them, should take special
pains to secure a pure article. It is
comparatively ... easy to got , ,
pure
but cream-tartar is more expensive

with terra alba, to increase its weight.
A ton of grapes will yield a pound, or
sometimes two pounds of cream-tar¬
tar. The cream-tartar is taken from
the wine vats after the wins has been
made. It is col ected from the wine
“lees” bv a refining process, and when
ready is dried and , pulverized , . for mar-
ket. '
The best crcam-tarlar is imported in
crystals from tlie wine-growing sec¬
tions of France, but is frequently re¬
fined in this country. It is so expen¬
sive that it is frequently adulterated.
To deiect adulterated cream-tartar dis-
solve two teaspoonfuls of soda and
one of cream-tartar in a tumbler of
water. Leave it; and in a short time
examine it, and if pure it will be
found to be clear; if adulterated with
terra alba a white deposit will be
found in the bottom of the tumbler.
A drop of tincture of iodine will
turn this water tho color of tea if
there is no adulteration of starch, but
bright blue if starch has been used.
Cream-tartar may often be pure and
yet not refined sufficiently to be of
value. This is true of tlie cheap cream-
tartar sold often in grocery stores. It
is safest to buy cream-tartar and soda
of a trustworthy druggist, purchasing
only the best, and expecting to pay
not less than seventy-five cents a pound
for the cream-tartar, and about half
this price for the soda.—[New York
Tribune.
RECIPES.
Veal Cream Soup—Boil the rem¬
nants of a roast of veai until the meat
falls fiom the bones. Strain and cool
for use the next day, when put on to
boil with a slice of onion and one-third
of a cupful of raw rice let it simmer
slowly for an hour. Add seasoning,
and just before serving add a cupful
of cream or rich milk, heated.
A Breakfast Dish—Fry in a little
butter one large onion cut small, and
one green pepper from which you have
taken the seeds, also cut small. In a
separate frying pan fry eight thick
slices of tomatoes, letting them brown
on both sides. Lay these on a dish,
sprinkle them with tho fried onion
and pepper, and drop a poached egg on
each slice. In the frying pan in which
the tomatoes were cooked melt a
spoonful of butler; add as much flour
and, when well browned and thicken-
