FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
We Invito nommimli-nt'ii-i" frmi ;l I'""' n who nr
lntirti-rt lu nutt-m ir.ii rly bil.mimw to this Ut
partweut. Our Western Correspondence.
TorEKi, Kansas, Auir. 19th, 1874.
Dear Times : 01) how little In known of the
Indians by those whohure never teen thorn,
when compared to the knowledge of us hero
living amongst the treacherous creatures, fed
by tlio Government and kept alive only to
murder the families on the frontier. I should
like to see some Sioux and Modocs quartered In
Philadelphia, If they should scalp a few broad
brims. They should have our most profound
sympathy, and we would console them by tell
ing them thoy did not understand the Indian
character ; they must treat them more kindly.
Take the diggers and black feet In Washing
ton, Chcyecnes, and Arapahoes, In New York,
to civilize thcin. It will not cost the Govern
ment as much to take them to the food as to
transport the food to them across the plulns,
where they attack the very trains, and murder
the teamsters and rob the wagons loaded to
feed thCBO tribes. Missions of all denomina
tions have been established all over tlio land,
for the last hundred years, and not one in
stance can now be pointed out as a reward for
all this labor and expense. I have lived for
the last twenty-live years among the Potnwa
totnics, seen them move from Indiana to Kan
sas, and thoy are still Indians. The Quaker
policy is a big failure. Agent Mills is the only
honest one among them.
An Investigating committee comprising live
men, traveled all the way to Lawrence, Kan
sas, within four hundred miles of the scene of
trouble, and there requested Mills to resign.
Ho was the only agent that dared to tell Gov
ernment, the truth when the frontier settle
ment was all leaving their homes, and at Hint
time hundreds of families were camped near
John V. Thompson's, on tho Arkansas. At
Hutchinson, Kansas, one man saw his son
scalped, then killed. Of course their crops
were nearly all destroyed, and tho grasshoppers
have since been blown down on them from
Colerado, and destroyed what was left. Yet
there are trains passing through that country
loaded with provisions to feed these very cut
throats, and going past our own peoplo who
are starving, while no ellbrt Is made to relievo
them. Oh, how soon will some plan bo de
vised so that thero will be no steal between the
Indian and tho Government. I hope to sec the
last buffalo killed, then the Indians must work
or rob to such an extent that It cannot be can
celled by their stealing agents.
This soason has been dry, with frequent
slight showers, but no good soaking rains.
We have an excellent wheat and oats crop.
Wheat is selling oft from tho 1. R. It., for CO
cts. hero at $1 .00 ; Corn is a short crop. That
will force the shipping of all the surplus cat
tle You may then expect a much heavier run
of cattle from the west than at any former
season. Tho grasshoppers uru scattering all
over the State, but too late to do much dam
age, except to frighten those disposed to get
away from all trouble in this world. Now is
tho time for a man to camo here with money
and relieve such of years of toll, and profit by
It. I am told by those that understand them,
that it Is not probable that wo will be troubled
with these grasshoppers for many years, per
hapsever again. They never slay two years
In succession In tho same place, they ruise and
fly for days, light in a cornfield and eat It up
in a few hours, then raise and may not touch
the next farm. There Is no way of giving a
correct Idea of thcta without seeing them ;
they aro not as largo as your grasshoppers, but
they have a torriblo eating capacity, will eat
anything when pressed, even clothes.
J.B.T.
Keeping Celery.
Vick't Floral Guide gives the following
instruction on this subject :
"The tiino to take up Celery is just be
fore bard frosts. Dig a trench about tho
width of a spade and a few incbes deeper
than the height of the Celery. The place
selected must be high ground, where do
water will be at the bottom, and where
surface water will not drain into the trench,
Take up tbe Celery on a dry day, and so
fast as dug place it erect in tho trench
with any dirt that may happen to adhere
to .the roots. Bet the stalks close together,
and close to the sides of tbe trench, but not
pressing them in. After the trench is
filled, place pieces of board or scantling
across it at intervals of five or six feet. On
these place short boards, five or six feet long,
covering the entire trench. Then cover
the boards with a good body of straw or
leaves, with boards or earth on top to keep
it from blowing away. The work is then
completed. " When Celery is needed, take
up a length of short boards, and remove
enough Celery to the cellar to last a few
days, and place it in tbe coolest part, cov
ered with earth. Replace the boards and
covering as before.
tellers follows a receipt for making a
good "help." It is taken from the Wo
ams Journal : Let the mistress of the house
take two pounds of the very best self-control,
a pound and a half of patience, a pound
and a bulf of justice, a pound of considera
tion, and a pound of discipline. Let this
be sweetened with charity, let it simmer
well, and lot it be taken in daily or (in ex
treme cases) In hourly doses and be kept
always ou hand. Then tbe domestic wheels
will run quite smoothly.

THOMPSON'S
and Ague Powders !
Fever
roa tub
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLS AND FE
VER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER I
The Greatest Discovery of the Age I
rpHERE arc no diseases so debilitating in
L their effects upon tho constitution as tho
above, and none more dllllcult to cure by tho
nsual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect a cure In cases of the long
est standing, as well as provo a preventive in
tbe forming stages of disease Being purely
Vegetable, they net with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating it from tho systom,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health In trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powdors have never fulled to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation i Kxtablishtd. Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless. '
Then it no Risk in Takinq Them. They
contain nothing Injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often tho re
sult of the ninny nostrums of the day. Physi
cians recommend them as far superior to Qui
nine, orany other known remedy.for they lcavo
the system in a healthy state, and tho patient
beyond tho probability of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. Tho
genuine are put up In square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fover and Aguo Powders"
stamped on tho lid. and the signature of
"Thompson & Crawford," on tho wrapper.
No others can possibly be gcnulue.
