THE BLACKFEET.
Indians With Many Peculiarities
of Other Days.
A Copper-Colored Belle Clad
in Buckskin.
The Blnckfeot are poor enough, in
all conscience, from nearly every
stand point from which we judge civil¬
ized communities, but their tribal pos¬
sessions include several horses to each
head of a family; and though the ma¬
jority of their ponies would fetch no
more than twenty dollars apiece out
there, even this gives them more
wealth per capita than many civilized
people can boast. Thay havo man¬
aged also to keep much of the savage
paraphernalia of other days in the
form of buckskin clothes, elaborate
bead work, eagle head dresses, good
guns, and the outlandish adornments
of their chiefs and medicine men.
Hundreds of miles from any except
such small and distant towns as Cal¬
gary and Medicine Hat, and kept on
the reserve as much as possible, there
has coma to them less damage by
whiskey and white men’s vices than
perhaps most oilier tribes have suf¬
fered. Therefore it was stil! possible
for me to see in some tents the squaws
at work painting the clan signs on
stretched skins, and making bead-
work for moccasins, pouches, “chaps,”
and the rest. And in one tepee I
found a young and rather pretty girl
wearing a suit of buckskin, such as
Cooper and all the past historians of
the Iudians knew as the conventional
every-day attlro of the redskin. I
say I saw the girl in a tent,
but, as a matter of fact, site
passed me out-of-doors, and with
true femiuiue art managed to allow
her blanket to fall open for just the
instant it took to disclose the precious
dress beneath it. I asked to be taken into
the tent to which she went, and there,
at the interpreter's request, she threw
offher blanket, and stood, with a little
display of honest coyness, dressed
like the traditional and theatrical belle
of the wilderness. The soft yellow¬
ish leather, the heavy fringe upon the
arms, seams, and edges of the gar¬
ment, her beautiful beaded leggingg
and moccasins, formed so many parts
of a very charming picture. For her¬
self, her face was comely, but her
figure was an Indian’s. The figure of
a typical Indian woman shows few
graceful curves.
The reader will inquire whether
there was any real beauty, as we judge
it, among these Indians. Yes, there
was; at least there were good loot, if
there was not beauty. I saw perhaps
a dozen fine-looking men, half a
dozen attractive girls, and something
like a hundred thildrc. of various
degrees of comeliness-,, casing, pret-
ty, or beautiful. I had some jolly
romps with the children, and so came
to know that their faces and arm.

“Go to Halifax.”
The evil repute of Halifax implied
iu this adage catne to it by inheritance
from Halifax in Yorkshire, England,
Halifax law, as inay be gathered from
a letter of Lord Leicester quoted by
Motley iu Iris “History of the United
States,” was that criminals should bo
“condemned first aud inquired upon
afterward,” a law which in that ono
particular at least resembled “Jedburg
Jastice.”
Halifax lay within the forest of
Hardwick, where the law was that if
a felon was taken with 13 1-2 pence
worth of stolen goods he should be
tried by four firth burgers from four
of tbe precinct towns, aud if con-
detuned by them be hanged the next
day. After this proceeding had been
carried out to the letter the case might
be sent to a jury! Halifax is also
credited with being the home of the
guillotine, which the Regent, Earl
Morton, introduced into Scotland ouly
to have Iris own hsad chopped off with
it—[St. Louis Republic.
Seasickness ‘
The curious fact is noted, aueut
somebody’s boast that he is never sea-
•ick, that .ometimes old Ur., who
have been upon the briny deep foi
years, are taken with violent attack"
of seasickness. It is said that the pilot
who brought (lie ocean steamer City of
New York out of Queenstown on her
last voyage got so seasick that he could
not leave the ship, aud had to b<
brouxht to New York.—[Picayune,

It is ft m.stake to work colts when
they arc too yo ung. It is well enough
to put the harness on a two-year-old,
but theu if lie is willing and quiet
there is sometimes a temptation to
put him at hard work. Hut each gen¬
uinely hard (lay’s work that such a
colt docs, will decrease hit value
much more than lie earns by his labor.

METHOD OF FEEDING BY SOILING.
Soiling consists of feeding green
crops to cattle kept in yards or stables.
It ii exceedingly economical of food,
but requires some extra labor, but not
to any corresponding extent with the
saving of land and food. - The crops
grown are such as to afford a constant
succession, and these nre cut and
brought to the cows,and fed in racks or
any other convenient way. it has
been found in practice that a smart
boy will i e able to cut the feed and
distribute it to the cows ami attend to
fifteen head. This will cost not more
thau five cents per head per day. The
saving of mamtro alone has been
found to repay this excuse. Thc
crops grown are rye for thc first
spring feed; clover for thc next, then
early corn planted iu succession to
carry the stock through the summer
aud mangels fur the late fall feeding.
Thc winter food is ensilage. Thc
system is most applicable to dairies.

SWEET VERSUS SOUR-CREAM BUTT ER
There has been considerable revival
of the old war between sweet and
sour-cream butler advocates since the
new extractor came into the Sold.
This new war has led to some excel,
lent results. Men have been experi¬
menting to find some way to prevent
the alleged loss of butter in churning
sweet cream, and, according to Pro¬
fessor Meyers, of the AVeat Virginia
Experiment Station, if the sweet
cream is churned at fifty-four degrees
F. it will come within forty minutes,
and with no greater loss of butter in
tbe buttermilk than occurs wheu sonr
crcain is churned at sixty-two degrees
F. There is still the custom of mar¬
keting the two kinds of butter. Tho
commission merchants set their faces
os a flint against swcct-cream butter,
but at thc same time they accept but¬
ter made from cream that ten years
ago would have been called sweet by
any butter-maker of those days.—

IIow to plough hillsides so that
they will receive the least injury from
! washing as the reiult of cultivation ia
j a question on which various opinions
j have been expressed, with no uniform
j practice prevailing, Some advise
| ploughing horizontally across tbo face
j of tho hill no that the rainfall, instend
of running off in furrows made by
ploughing up and down tbo hill, will
be somewhat obstructed in its course,
i and its absorption bv the soil where it
has fallen will bo favored. It is also
j sometimes advised lo make deep fur¬
rows or ditches al intervals on the face
! of a cultivated hillside to more per-
I fectly iutercept the course of the rain
j water aud hold it until it
j is moetly absorbed by the soil.
From the nature of the case both of
j j these plana are liable to the serious
j objection of making the matter worse
| j j rather than better, for it will be found
impossible to dam heavy showers in
j thit way, and an overflow would be
i certain to occur, the effect of which

KAI’.M AND GAKOVS NOTES.
When the milk is drawn tuko it out
of the stable or cow-yard at once.
Scrub feed lias made miiiy a scrub
cow scrubbier Ilian she need to have
been.
The cow appreciates a comfortable
placo iu winter, and so does the
milker.
it is easier to tic up the tails of (he
horses than to clcuu them after iliey
get muddy.
If milk is contaminated, bad butler
and cheese must be the result, lienee
the necessity of cleanliness.
Neglected repairs to fences often
result iu creating a brcecby liabit in
the live slock that arc kept on n farm.
Where roots have been fed fot
years the siio lias not yot got much of
a foothold. Roots will do, to say the
least.
There is no profit in breeding a
full-blooded calf and then allowing it
to forage around a straw stack all
winter.
Curby hocks, spavins and splints
arc bad things to exhibit iu a show
ring where judges are up in tlicir
business.
The comic side of farming appears
when those complaining of hard times
leave their reapers and binders out to
take the weather.
While it is always best to push the
fattening, there is nothing gained by
feeding stock at any time more than
they will cat up clean.
All along the line of production the
principle will hold good that quality
governs price and that profit is found
only in producing the best.
The question of “dehorning” cattle
is greatly agitated among stock-yard
men, r&nchraeu, and alt who have
charge of the animals in life.
A colt may be phenomenally fast
and yet fail to meet the requirements
of a show ring. The track is the
place to win with such fellows.
The leaves in the pig pen help to
fatten hogs by keeping them warm
and dry, thus preventing loss of food
by saving the warmth of the body.
A bunch of steers that arc all about
the same size and color catch the eye
of a dealer much more readily than if
the animals are all sizes and colors.
Market the scrub bull this fall and
arrange to commence breeding with a
purc-brcd of some of the better breeds.
Scrub cattle, hogs, or horses do not
pay.
No sire, no matter how he may be
bred, can produce good campaigners
without the assistance of good blood
aud merit in the mares that he is bred
to.
Tbe quiet cow, the frieudly hen,thc
peaceful horse, give the largest re¬
turns with the least expense. Con¬
quer everything on the farm, includ¬
ing the hired man, by politeness and
kindness.
Many flock masters attest that tho
wool and manure pay for the keep of
a sheep, and that the lambs are all
profit What other class of stock
will show as large a per cent, of
profit? Every farmer can keep ten
sheep, and most of them from fifty to
one hundred.
When the cattle ranges are settled
beef will probably be cheaper. It re¬
quires less land to raise cattle on
farms than on the range, a id with
better care, and the cattle industry in
thc hands of many instead of a few,
beef will be of better quality and cat¬
tle more numerous. Thc best beef is
produced on cultivated farms.
Stubble and grass may serve as a
mulch over ihe land during thc win¬
ter, but it is known that tlie stubble
harbors and protects thousands of in¬
sects. It is better to burn the fields
over after the stubble is dry than tn
attempt to destroy the insects in tiie
spriug. Fire is a friend if judiciously
used, as it allows no insects to escape.
A cow may be fed too much, but
this fault is not a common one, nor n
crying danger. Every cow giving
milk should be fed enough to show
that she is not thin in flesh, nor in any
way lacking in physical comfort. She
should be fat enough to make fair
beef, but not of that high grade that
butchers consider as first-class moat.
The Deepest Artesian Well.
“Thc honor of having ihe deepest
well in the world, or at least in the
United Statc8,uowbclong8 to the towu
of Albany,Ind.,’’said Mr. J. D. Priest,
Indianapolis, at the Lacledo. “A few
months ago thu city started out in bor¬
ing a well for water works purposes.
The well has liccn bored for nearly
2900 feet, 100 feet deeper at least than
the Belcher well here, which has been
considered the deepest. A a depth of
2400 feet a vein was tapped which
yielded up 200 gallons par minute,
and despite tbe great depth from
which it came it was cold as ice, when
everyone expected it would at least be
warm it not boiling, aud the local
scioutitis are sow puzzling their
brains over this phenomenon. At a
depth of 3000 feet the contractor ex¬
pects to strike enough veins to give
the flow that will be required for a

The orientals have a very original
though ancient method of detecting a
rogue in a lie. They stand him up in

and his mouth gets dry and the dry
wheat chokes him.
The Dalles (Oregon) Chronicle tells
of a wagon lond of produce recently

and were the wonder and admiration
of all who saw them.
The old fasnioned Conestoga wagon
is becoming so scarce in this state that
when oue is seen it is considered

and big bows and white covers.
Near Horn Head, County Donegal,

flood the wind and the waves enter
the cavern and send up jets of water
from the ‘■gun” to a height of more
thau a hundred feet. The jets of
water are accompanied by explosions
which may be heard for miles.

interiors of houses were without light
and bare of furniture, and permeated by
