GOOD INDIAN NOW,
Terror of Umatilla Reservation Has
Embraced Christian Religion.
Motanic, bad Indian, terror of the
Umatilla reservation, southwest of
Spokane, Wa., and leader of pagan
customs among the Cayuse braves,
has embraced the Christian religion,
and, as a consequence, there is re-
joicing among the faithful in the Tu-
tuilla Presbyterian Mission.
The conversion of the chieftain
was the dramatic climax to the ordin-
ation of Rev. Edward Connor, a full
blooded Cayuse, as minister of the
gosvnel. a few days ago.
Following the singing of the Cay-
use version of “Washed in the Blood
of the Lamb,” in which braves and
squaws joined heartily, Motanic
dressed in barbaric spiendor, arose
from his seat, and facing the congre-
gation, declared his intention to live
a better life. He vowed he would
abandon the pagan customs, bid good-
by forever to the feathered head-
dress and the red and orange paint,
to participate no more in the festal
parades, nor partake of the white
man's fire water. He would not
steal, eamble or cheat his jotig> man
or brother.

Whole Body Covered With Cuban
Itch—Cuticura Remedies Cure
i¥ at Cost of 75c,
“My littie boy, when only an infant of
three months, caught the Cuban Itch.
Sores hroke out from his head to the bot-
tom of his feet. He would itch and claw
himself and cry ali the time. He could not
sleep day or night, and a light dress is all
he could wear. 1 called one of our best
doctors to treat him. and his treatment did
not do any good, but he seemed to get
worse. He suffered so terribly that my
husband said he believed he would have to
die. 1 had almost given up hope when a
lady friend told me to try the Cuticura
Remedies. 1 used the Cuticura Soap and
applied the Cuticura Ointment and he at
once fell mto a sleep, and he slept with
ease for the first time for two months.
After three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day | commenced to use the Cuticura Rem-
edies my baby was entirely well. The treat-
ment only cost me 75¢., and 1 would have
gladly paid $100 if 1 could not have got it
any cheaper. | feel safe in saying that the
Cuticura Remedies saved his life. He is
now a hoy of five years. Mrs. Zana Miller,

their use for conveying the mail bags

well known to need mention. The
word balldon, by the way, has many
meanings, although it is now almost
entirely confined to tne geronautical
sense,
Originally a balloon was ~umply a
large inflated ball, like a football,
from which it came to be applied to
the game in which it was used. A
large, short necked glass vessel and
a method of training fruit trees are
also among its meanings, while the

Strength of Yate.
Official tests of the many
hard woods native to western Aus-
tralia have made known the extraor-
dinary properties of yate, believed to
be the strongest of all known woods.
ils average tensile strength is 24,000
pounds to the square inch, equaling
that of good cast iron.
Many specimens are, however,
much stronger and one was tested
up to seventeen and a half tons to
the squere inch, whieh is equal to
the tensile strength of wrought iron.
The sawn timber of yate is probably
the strongest in the world. The tree
grows to a maximum height of 100
feet and has sometimes a diameter
of two and a half or even three feet.

Unbalanced Farms.
A great deal of timber has been
cut to pay off the mortgage on the
farm or to secure an emergency fund
for a ‘‘rainy day,” but in doing this
many farms have been so thrown out
of balance because of the lack of
sufficient timber for fuel purposes
and the necessary repairs of the
buildings.—American Cultivator:

Up a Setting Hen.
in Rural World says: To
a hen from setting, take a
steel trap, wrap a piece of thin cloth
around each jaw of the trap, set it
and place it in the nest, and when
you hear the hen squa:ling loose her
out of the trap and Sot it again in
the nest. 1 never knew but one hen
to try the trap the second time. If
vou have a trap strong enough to
10ld a hog or a dog it will also break
them from trespassing. So: far as

When to Plow Sod.
The damage done by cut worms
has become so alarming in some sec-
tions that the question has arisen
whether the practice of furning over
sod in the spring has not something
to do with it. Some figure out that
by allowing their sod ground to
stand over they get the full value
of the late pasture. Sod ground
should be turned in the fall. Make
it as late as you want, but get it
turned before the ground freezes up.
This late plowing will enable one to
get the full worth of the late fall
growth, and the ground is in just the
condition to weather till spring. If
there were no. other reason, fall
plowing is better, as it will help get
rid of the cut worms and other in-
sects which have been hurting corn
during the past four or five years.
Many complain that their soils are
not as nice to work as they were
several years ago. That no doubt
is due to the system of plowing and
cultivation. We do too much spring
plowing, with the result that the
seed-bed is spongy or soggy all
through the summer. Turn under
the sod this fall, and then disc next
spring. That's the place to expect
the bumper yield of corn.—L. C.
Drown, in National Farmer.
A Forty Acre Lot.
Here is a statement of facts rela-
tive to timber growth and increase
in valuation.
For a convenient example I will
take a tract of average timber land
of forty acres, such as are to be seen
in the Eastern townships and North-
ern Vermont. The ‘total average
stumpage would perhaps be about
twelve thousand feet per acre, mak-
ing a total of 480,000 feet. I'or the
last few years the average increase
in the price of stumpage has been
about forty cents per thousand per
Year. The increase by growth is
about four per cent. The percentage
that should be cut from such a tract
per year is about seven per cent., or
about one tree in fourteen. and by
this means a healthy growth of the
balance would be assured if the other
rules of forestry were observed, but
in five or sit years the cutting should
be less each season, i. e., it should not
exceed the increase by growth. This
data would give the following for-
mula or problem:
The market value of this total
stumpage would be: 480,000 at $7
per M, or $3360. Net yearly earnings
on this stumpage would be: An-
nual.increase of 480,000 feet at
forty cents per M, $192, also 33,600
feet totale cuttings at $7 per M,
$235.20; total $427.20. This shows
an actual net yearly earnings on the
tract of $427.20, but if we eliminate
the increase of the value of the
stumpage each vear of forty cents
per thousand, we have an absolutely
safe proposition and earnings of
$235.20 - on the tract, or $5.88 per
acre per year.—American Cultivator.
Cement Dipping Tank.
An excellent dipping tank can be
made of cement. It can be built as
cheap or cheaper than with boards
and is much more durable. We would
advise all who are contemplating
making any articles of cement, wheth-
sr it be tanks, posts, sidewalks or
anything else to send to the secre-
tary of agriculture, Washington, for
farmer's bulletin No. 235.
Dig the hole for the cement dip-
ping tank eight ‘inches longer and
wider than the interior of the tank is
to be. The end of the tank from
which the animals will make their
exit should be slanting, as shown at
A in the drawing. After the hole
at the
three
has been dug, mix the mortar
rate of one part cement to
parts sand. Fill in the bottom of the
hole with a smooth layer, four inches
thick. Leave this tili it has dried
sufficiently to hold up a man. Then
make a box out of inch lumber that
is eight inches narrower and four
inches sherter than tune interior of
Sectional View of Dipping Tank.
the hole. This “hox should be used
in making the three perpendicular
sides of the ‘tank, but the slanting
side should be left open to be built
after the other three walls have
dried. When this box is set into
the hole, it will leave four inches
on cither side of the sides and four
inches on the perpendicular end of
the box and the walls. Fill in the
mortar in this opening and leave till
it has sufficiently dried to remove the
box. Then the floor on the slan:
should be made. Start at the bot-
tom and put on a layer of cement
four inches thick, llowing it to
reach six inches upward on the in-
cline. At the top of this layer, six
inches wide, place a piece of two by
two so that it will extend one inch
above the surface of the cement. Then
put another layer of cement six
inches wide above this in the slant,
finishing with another two by two.
Continue this till the entire incline
has been covered. It is necessary
to have the two by two imbedded in
the cement to afford a foothold for
the animal when it attempts to come
out of the tank, as cement is very
slippery.
In some of the Western States,
where the soil is naturally dry and
very hard, a great many make dip-
ping tanks by simply’ plastering the
interior walls of dirt with two or
three coats of cement. Such a meth-
od of construction will answer the
purpose when none but hogs and
sheep are to be dipped, but for the
larger animals, there is danger of
the cement being broken and the dip
wasted. It is much more durable
and a great deal cheaper in the end
to make four-inch walls as suggested
above The tank should be so lo-
cated that it can be easily fenced.
Usually by placing it at one side
of the hog pens, but one side need
be fenced, the hog fence serving for
the other side.
I'arm Notes.
Carefully feed so that the diges-
tion is kept strong and healthy.
Do not leave the herd in the pas-
ture more than half a day at first.
Save the heifer calves from the
best cows and raise them intelligent-
ly for butter cows.
Excelsior makes the best nesting
material. Use cedar excelsior; it
keeps out lice and mites.
Sheep do not require as much heat-
producing feed as other animals, on
account of their heavy fleece.
It

With

is the ill-conditioned sheep in
flock that causes the largest
of trouble in management.
a breeding flock “a certain
of young sheep must be kept
to take the place of the old ones.
Keep the calves intended for the
dairy sleek and growing every min-
ute, but do not let them get too fat.
The dairy cow must have a good
strong digestion and a hearty appe-
tite if she is to prove a profitable ani-
mal.
It is not good economy to buy
light milk pails or pans or cans. Get
good, heavy tin ones. They will last
much longer and pay in the end.
‘When fixing up the stables and
sheds for the stock arrange for plenty
of fresh air, but it should come in at
the windows and not through
crevices.
For some early feed next spring
sow some fall rye or some vetch.
These come on very early the next
spring and furnish a lot of feed, away
ahead of other green stuff.
The advantage in cutting ensilage
in short pieces is that it packs better
in the silo. When cut from one-half
to one inch lengths, it will pack
quicker and more solidly than when
cut one and one-half inches. Cows
like the short cut length the best.

that the genuine burro lives forever.

FICE 00 TRADE REVEW | _

IRON TRADE
Increased Activity After Holidays Is
Generally Anticipated.
R. G. Dun & Company's
Review of Trade” says:
Holiday trade assumed normal pro-
portions this week, partially recover-
ing earlier losses in comparison with
previous years, and in siaple lines
there was a better movement in ‘re-
sponse to more seasonable weather.
Although actual business did not
increase in the leading industries,
there was a more confident senti-
ment regarding the future, numerous
inquiries encouraging manufacturers
to anticipate a steady improvement
in orders early in 1908.
While several plants
others were added to the idle list,
and the change was small. The best
news of the week was the official re-
port of foreign commerce in Noven-
ber that -far surpassed any previous
monthly record of exports, and sup-
plied a favorable international trade
balance of $93.655.751. « This should
make it possible to retain much of
the net imperts of gold.
Sentiment «is niore hopeful at lead-
ing centers of the iren and steel in-
dustry, increased activity being gen-
erally anticipated after holidays.
