LIFE AMONG THE SIOUX.
PECULIAR TRAITS OP THE MOST
WARLIKE OF AMERICAN TRIBES.
The Ignoble “Squaw Men” of the
Frontier—Frolicsome Young In
dians at the Agency Schools.
Among the Sioux may be found many
white men who are marrie ! to squaws,
and who are adopted by the Pi be. They
are known in frontier parlance as “squaw
men,” and before the Indians were re
stricted to the limits of the reserva
tion, accompanied them from place to
place in their nomadic wanderings. Of
this class a great portion are French
Canadians, and many of them are rich in
cattle and ponies. Their children are
usually bright and intelligent, and when
old enough are given the advantage of
the mission and agency schools, and
taught to adopt the customs of the
whites. The Government scouts em
ployed at the various military posts are
comjKJsed chiefly of French half-breeds,
for the reason that aside from their
knowledge of the country they speak
with fluency both the Indian and Ameri
can tongues.
A glimpse of the young pupils at play
at the agency schools is always interest
ing. Their sports and pastimes consist
of bow shooting and in building little
wigwams about the grounds. I once
heard a lady teacher remark that for a
week she was annoyed by a half dozen
of the boys stealing away from the youth
at noontime and rarely returning till
long after school had taken up. She
observed that their ronte led them far
out among the hills. She Anally discov
ered that the cause of these surreptitious
excursions was for the purpose of visit
ing a wolf trap which they had set in a
ravine. The enterprise was a grand suc
cess, tor the wolf was captured and its
pkin carried to the schoolhouse in tri
umph.
Although the Sioux are not usually
very demonstrative in their manners
about the trader’s store, they can, on
certain occasions, become as noisy and
boisterous as “a whole’convent when the
1 alher Abbot has gone to bed.” Among
other novelties in the store, we once had
an ingenious toy, which consisted of a
pmall, square box, on the top of which
were four little images representing
piinstrels, two of whom, seated on tiny
chairs, held respectively a set of bones
and a tambourine. The other two
figures were in a standing attitude.
When the concern was wound up with
fr key, the little musicians began a lusty
clattering of the bones and tambourine,
and the standing figures would break
out in a wild dance, jerking and throw
ing legs and arms in mirth-provoking
attitudes of every description. These
piimic performances never failed to
elicit the wildest applause, the squaws
fairly shrieking with delight, and even
the most stoical chiefs shouting wy-yu
pah (away up) at the top of their voice.
They are, however, subject to occasional
fits of despondency in which “a sadness
ippears to fall upon their spirits,” and I
have been informed by educated half
breeds living' among them that the
iifferent lines of paint on their faces
signify when they are in love, melancholy,
!tc.
The Sioux picture writers or artists
ire by no means skillful painters—yet
lome of the decorations cm their robes
ire of very clever designs. Among py
collection of Indian curiosities is quite a
large picture painted on cloth, represent
ing a dozen mounted warriors bedecked
with paint and feathers all ready for the
warpath. It was executed for me by an
Indian named Blackhawk. He was a
participant in the Custer tight, and sev
eral of his pictures representing the
battleground were purchased by Dr. Mc-
Chesney, of Fort Bennett, andforwarded
to the Smithsonian Institution. The
pictured representations of their battles
with other tribes are an evidence of their
tendency to exaggerate their own prow
ess. Every solitary Indian represented
in these encounters as getting terribly
thumped with a war club, or losing his
top-knot, is certain to be anything else
but'a sioux.
A noticeable feature of the Sioux is
their affection for their children. A
chief, or, indeed, any Indian who is
well-to-do, i. e., one who has many
ponies, spares neither pains nor expense
to make ins little ones happy by lavish
ing upon them everything in the way of
gaudy apparel that barbaric fancy can
suggest. Some of the little boys, the
pricle of their parents’ hearts, when
mounted on their favorite ponies with
embroidered saddle and bridle, and their
own persons gittering with ornaments,
are a sight to belidld. —Detroit Free
Press.
A New Type of Drummers.
“Do you know,’’ said one of the craft
to a New York Mail and Express reporter
the other day, “that there are about 80,-
000 commercial travelers in the United
States? Surprised to hear it? Yes,
most people are when they are told of it;
but it is a fact, nevertheless. You may
ilso be surprised to learn that each one
lof them spends on an avemge SBOOO a
year, making a total of $340,000,000. If
'you add to this their salaries, averaging
at the least SIOOO, you have a total ex
penditure by commercial travelers of
$320,000,000 a year. This is naturally
spent in all parts of the country, but the
hotels and railroads get the lion's share
of it. During the last ten years there
has been a great change in the character
of the commercial traveler. The old
Bohemian style has almost disappeared
from the road, and drinking men are
much more rarely met with than former
ly. A short time ago it was almost im
possible to get a merchant over to your
hotel to ‘take a look at your samples’
without first getting him to leave his
store on the protest of getting a ‘smile.’
That is all changed now; the customers
don’t look for it, and the drummer sel
dom gives it a thought.
A Farmer's Magnetic Qualities.
< A. farmer living rear Waltliourvilie,
liberty Couuty, was struck by lighting
years ago. The occurrence will be
remembered by many here, as it was dur
the Congressional Convention. Since
|hat time he has had peculiar electrical
rai magnetic qualities. Whenever a
Worm gathers or court meets he becomes
■highly charged. His flesh tingles and
■ lQ y sparks are emitted in myriads.
particles of metal cling to his
Bulgers, while flies which light upon him
dead instantly.— Savannah Times.
FARM AND GARDEN.
Adapt Manure to Plants.
How to do this to the best advantage
should be studied by all soil toilers.
Professor Goessman, of the Massachu
setts Experiment Station, says that a
system of manuring may be called a well
devised or rational system when it is
based upon results of a careful examina
tion into the composition of the plants
under cultivation, and on a due consid
eration of its natural qualifications for
availing itself of the needed plant food
from both the atmosphere and the soil.
This shows what a close relationship ex
ists between scientific knowledge and
the practical experience re juired by the
farmer in order to reach the best results.
Care of Horses.
G ood light is most necessary for horses.
It is no more pleasant for a horse to be
kept in «. dark staole than for a human
being to .e confined in a darx room. It
is very trying to the eyes when a horse
is brought out into the light. Dark
stables are often the cause of blindness.
Ventilation is also most important—not
a draught from open windows or doors,
but properly constructed ventilators in
the ceiling to carry oil foul air, which al
ways rises and floats about near the
ceiling. The tempertNure of a stable
should not be over spventy degrees or
under forty-five. So says (among other
good things on horse-caring) a writer in
the Montreal Witnses.
Speaking of equines here are some
directions for taming, taken from “Rich
on Artistic Horsc-Shoeiug,” which may
(and may not) prove trustworthy: “To
tame a horse, halter him and then take
the warts from his leg; dry and powder;
then blow it up his nose. Then take
oil of arodium, drop a few drops in your
hand and rub it over his nose. This
will make him follow you. and vou can
do anythingyou wish.”
Layerinir Drape Vines.
One of the surest methods of propa
gating grapes is by the layering process,
a very simple method that can be learned
in a very lew minutes by any intelligent
observer, aud one that is especially valu
able with hard-wooded varieties, like the
Northen Virginia or Cynthiana, which
do not grow readily from cuttings. The
following from a correspondent of the
Prairie Farmer , is eminently practical:
The layerii g of grape vines may be
done from the first of .June until Septem
ber. Select long and fiexibie canes of
last year’s growth for the operation—
those which start from near the ground
are preferable. As soon as the laterals,
or side branches, have attained a length
of twelve inches, -work can begin. Dig
a shallow trench from four to six inches
deep; lay the base of the vine down first;
remove the leaves at the base of the
lateral, then with a sharp knife make
slight incisions on the under side of the
vine, when laid down, near and on each
side of the joints from which the laterals
grow. It is best to hold the vine firmly
down by small wooden hooks, cut from
any convenient tree or brush pile. Pro
ceed in this way toward the top or
younger part of the cane. When the
laterals are too small to project six inches
above the surface, leave them to make
some growth, and later in the season fill
the trench with fine, mellow soil, pack
ing firmly about the base of the laterals
with the hand and being careful not to
break them, as they are the future vine
when you have grown roots to them.
Roots emanate from the joints of the
cane, and from them only. If the weather
is favorable, with plenty of moisture, the
layers will have good roots by October,
and can then be feken up and cut apart
for next spring’s planting.
Water for Hogs.
Investigations of the swine plague
show that, of all farm animals, swine
mpre than any other should have pure
water from a well. The microbe pro
ducing the dread disease of hog plague
maybe carried in a stream of water;
hence it is unwise to allow hogs to drink
from a stream, though fed by springs, if
hogs are kept under bad conditions any
where above on the stream. The microbe
may lie in moist matter for mouths with
out having its vitality impaired; hence
it is folly to allow hogs to drink from a
stream when disease has prevailed within
some months among hogs anywhere on
the land trom which water enters the
stream above. The danger is so great,
and may so suddenly or unawares make
its appearance, that it is never wise to
allow hogs to drink from a stream. The
danger from stagnant water is as great.
While the microbes can find tbeir way
into it from only a limited territory,
such water always contains organic mat
ter, making conditions favorable to the
life of the microbes, and they may exist
in it, with evil power unimpaired, for
weeks or months. Aside from this,stag
nant water is unfit to be drunk; pools,
ponds, etc.,are far oftener an injury than
a benefit.
Nor does every well yield pure water,
free from contamination. If the surface
water is allowed to enter it, there is as
gc od a chance of its being tainted vs
there is of the pool being tainted. Nor
will the passage of the water through a
few feet of loose soil filter out the dis
ease germs. “Seep” wells are often the
unsuspected cause of disease; there are
many cases of their being proven the
sources of typhoid fever, etc. The well,
to be safe, must be fed by an under
ground stream, and it is all the better if
it be at least twenty feet below the sur
face. The soil should be taken away
from around the well for several feet
back, and replaced with clay stamped
solid. And if the mouth of the well is
lower than any of the surrounding
ground, make a bank of clay around it
so high-that no surface water can get in.
Have a tight curb, to exclude mice, etc.;
but not one that will not allow air freely
to enter the well. Such a well will
yield safe drink for swine, and for other
farm animals as well. The very rapid
advance of medical research has shown
that the contagious or infectious dis
eases, terrible in their nature, once
blamed on evil spirits, are caused by
minute organisms lurking in moist, foul
ground, or decaying matters; in our food
or drink, most often in the latter. The
best provision for the health of ourselves
and animals, is water free from contami
nation. — American Agriculturist.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Liberal manuring on grass lands pays
well for itself.
Hen manure and wood ashes both
benefit strawberry plants.
A number of farmers report excellent
success with uncut silage.
Fine wood ashes dusted on shrubs are
a protection against various insects.
Feed generously still, and do not turn
farm stock out to pasture too early. It
is bad for the animals and the pasture.
Don’t let insect pests gi t the start ol
you. (Much trouble is saved by begin
ning to fight them as soon as they ap
pear.
An experiment made.at the Michigan
State Cc liege in feeding steers of.ditter
ent breeds, gives a very good showing
for the Holsteins.
“If we do not raise crops of one sort
too long we will always find that the
introduction of deep-rooted crops will
benefit the soil,” says Dr. Goessman.
Always plant thrifty trees if you can
get them. Prefer the young to the over
grown. Good roots are the main thing,
and with them the right sort of a top can
soon be raised.
If Paris green is used for destroying
the codling-moth that makes so many
apples wormy, it should be applied in
fine spray while the young fruit is so
small that it stands up on the stem.
Trees in the poultry-yard grow very
rapidly, and afford shade to the fowls in
summer. 1 eaches and pdums are less
liable to disease when grown in the
poultry-yard, while the hens g:eatly
assist in preventing the attack of insects.
To plough well and deeply is but half
the work. The seeds must have a place
which the little sprouting rootlets may
take hold upon and assimilate the
elements of plant food that can come
I from nowhere else, and without which
vigorous growth is impossible.
A farmer says: “I put into a barrel
ful of sweet cider a quart of milk, about
half a pint of mustard seed—the alack
seed—and six eggs. Mix them all up
together and pour them into the barrel.
Cider will keep sweet that way for half
a dozen years. I think it gets better
and sweeter the longer you keep it.”
Mutton should be as plentiful as pork,
j There are hundreds of farms that could
be devoted to sheep, but which are now
unprofitable. It requires less labor for
sheep than for hogs, while the prices for
choice mutton and lamb are at times
very high, though the markets at-such
times may be well supplied with inferior
grades of carcasses.
D. B. Wier claims in the American
Garden that we can grow all plums, do
mestic aud foreign, peaches, apricots
and other fruits in every part of this
country where the fruit will stand the
climate without any damage from plum
curculio, by properly spraying the trees
with the arsenical poisons, Paris green
and London purple.
Except for beets and mangels, which
thrive in hot weather, no heating manure
shouldbe used for root crops. Turnips,
carrots and parsnips are better manured
the year before with stable manure and
some mineral fertilizer at seeding time.
Too much heat aud nitrogenous manure
makes the roots grow faster, besides
causing greater injuries from insects.
Hog manure is especially rich and heat
ing, and is therefore especially objectiona
ble on any ground intended for planting
in root crops.
It is not best in planting young or
chards to trust to labels or to memory.
Both may fail. The only sure way to
know what trees are planted is to make
a record at the time of laying the orchard
out in a map and marking on that each
vafTfty. Some kinds of trees need
greatly different treatment than others, ,
both in pruning and manuring. It does
not pay to wait until the orchard begins
bearing to know what varieties it is com
posed of, as those whose orchards are not
mapped are often obliged to do.
Sheep are close feeders and can get a
bite earlier than ar y other domestic ani
mal. But ewes suckling lamb will need
grain early to keep them in flesh, while
the succulent grass stimulates milk pro
duction. l.ater in the season the lamb
demands more milk ,ust as the failing
pasture makes less. It is then that an
armful of cut clover in bloom to each
eight or ten sheep makes a valuable ad
dition to the pasture feed. It may be
varied with occasional cuttings of green
oats, which just before they head out are
very rich and succulent feed.
Mulching consists in the application
of old straw or something of the same
sort on the surface around the tree, for
three or four feet on each side, and to
the depth of ten or twelve inches. This
retains the moisture for the benefit of
the tree, instead of allowing it to evap
orate; and if the season be dry it will
save the life of the tree, while if it hap
pens to be wet no injury will take place.
Newly planted trees often live without
mulching, but the danger is great, and
the hot, dry summer frequently proves
fatal; so that the careful planter will not
run the risk of neglecting it.
The garden, flower or vegetable, will
not show any weeds on recently planted
ground if that garden is properly culti
vated. Weeds are most easily killed
before they reach the surface. This is
killing them none too soon, and recently
planted ground should be stirred often
enough to keep them from appearing.
For this work, where hand work must
be done, the steel rake is, I think, the
best implement. It is three times as
speedy as the hoe. Unless the ground
is in bad condition the rake destroys
the weeds as well as the hoe, and its
action in the soil is more favorable to
the plants. There is no need of deep
stirring until the plants have made con
siderable growth and the ground has
hardened, and, for surface-stirring, the
steel rake, sharp and bright, is the in
strument par excellence.
Novel Uses for the Rabbit.
Judging by the later uses that surgery
is finding for the rabbit, depriving it oi
its parts to supply the place of diseased
tissues in human beings, Australia might
soon begin to reckon up her rabbit popu
lation under the head of “medical sup
plies.” Defective'eyes and aching nerves
have recently been patched with the rab
bit's healthy tissues very much in the
way the “hallmark” of approved genuine
metal is sometimes cut out of trifling
pieces of old plate and set into much
larger articles of silverware. The point
is made for the rabbit that it is a vegeta
ble feeder, and therefore its tissues are
less subject to cause inflammation and
blood poisoning when transplanted to
the human system.— Philadelphia Ledcjer.
