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.
