east of the Cascade mountains, running
to the mouth Of the Spokane river,
then down the river to Write Bluffs;
thence across the columbia to a point
fifteen miles above the mouth Of the
Yakima. Gen. Howard stated be de-
sired in the presence Of all assembled
to thank Moses for the remarkable e.
deity he had shown and his Efforts to
keep the peace at all times. Moses
took no part in tle lste hostile move
ment, and his influence and power kept
the hostile movement from breaking
out among his men.
Moses stated that he requested land
of the government, and the land he
would like, and if given him and his
people he would remain there forever.
He was alway friend to the whites.
but he had been badly misrepresented
by his enemies. He would add to his

now chose. All northern Indians
would join him. He Is their ,ecognix-

Take Care of the Hens.

At this time of the year, the chicken house is
more productive than the 0rnfeld or the mead
ow therefore, it is well to consider what will
promote its productiveness. The following clip.
pings, from the Poultry Uorld, are in season
Clear rye bran, alone, should never be fed to
fowls, on account of its swelling and caking, in
q mass, in the crop, and proving fatal to chick
en-life, not unfrequently. 1t will thus sodden
and increase in bulk very rapidly, before digest
ing-causing rupture of the crOp-if any great
quantity has been eaten. neighbor, We reco-
lect, in hurried way, mixed a large painful with
water, and placed the mass before a nice flock of
three quarters grown cbickens-leaving them to
enjoy the feed at their leisure He drove away
in bis wagon, and after an absence of few honrs,
returned to find his birds scattered about, dead,
in his yards. 1t is very good when mixed with
wheat bran, and Oat meal, or corn-meal. But,
by itself, it should not be fed to fowls.
Fowls drink water freely, but they know just
how much they need, and when they have access
to the fluid, clean, sweet and fresh, they imbibe
no more than is good for them. 1t is, therefore,
unnecessary to mix your dough too thin, and
sloppy, at the morning feeding. Have the meal
well scalded, and feed the mixture to the stock
stiff and dry, comparatively. This feed should,
generally be composed of both corn and rye
meal, with vegetabes-say one-third each. In
our own practice, we have found this more pre-
ferable, both for the birds, and as an economical
provision, for the old or the growing stock. A
little pepper occasionally in this dough, and al
ways salt, will improve the mess.
Calves or Sleeps lights and livers, which can
always be obtained in the market houses for n
few cents apiece, valuable to feed fowls, for
two reasons. They are devoid of bones, and they
closely resemble insect diet. We advise the
cooking of any sort of meat food, always.

Tho unreasonable weather of the last few
weeks has been very injurious to corn in the ear.
The present freezing weather will save much
corn from absolute worthlessness, but will fail
to restore to good, sound condition, that which
has been damaged. Now, that corn is being
cribbed by dealers, who are selling No. corn
for Spring delivery as against their purchases of
new corn from farmers, few word of caution
are in order. The freezing weather will change
the appearance of corn very much, and will rem
der all the more necessary the exercise of dis
elimination in buying and cribbing. Sound, dry
corn should be kept separated from that which
is damp. Under the rules governing the inspec-
ton of grain all theimportant markets. the pres
once of small quantity of soft or damaged corn
will prevent a large quantity of otherwise good
grain from inspecting No. g Hence, few bush
els of poor corn in o small number of wagon
loads, if put in bin or crib of good quality of
corn, will damage and cause loss of inspection of
the entire contents of the crib or bin. Better,
by far, to throw away and destroy small guam
tity of injured corn than to mix it with choice.
No damaged or damp, frozen corn, should be
cribbed with a view of holding until warm
weather. Such corn will never inspect No. 9,
aud if mixed with No. 2, viii drag the No. 9 down
to its own level as to inspection aud price. For
these reasons the commission merchants of Chi
cago wisely refuse to make advances on corn to
remain in cribs until Spring, unless they are full
" assured the corn upon which advances are de-
sired is sound and dry.-Ckica9o BalletiR.

Country Road Making.

A New York correspondent of the american
Cwltirator upon the subject of road making truly
says:
Despite an increased waste of labor in misdi-
rected road making, am glad to believe that
our country roads gre yearly growing better. 1t
is bad enough now, but not nearly SO bad as !
can remember. Something is due probably to
the wasting away of vegetable matter in the
soil. As the mould has washed away, or been
dissipated by the burning suns of Summer, the
soil has become more compact. This process
does not help the fertility of our cultivated fields
but there is decided comfort in knowing that il
doss make the roads better. Another great i'm
movement in country roads has come from IN
der-draining. As farmers have under-drained
their fields the roads have been crossed, giving
an outlet for the water three or four feet below
the surface at the lowest places. The great ben
eat of such drainage is Immediately noticeable
and grows more so year by year, as it is q vel
known fact that properly made under-drair
will remove the surplus water from q wider ares
ten years after its construction than it will a
the first.

The Mos. Unfortunate Man Ever Born.

A Portsmouth man was going East with his
wife last week, and the train started off very
suddenly while he was talking to his friends
He grabbed hold Of woman, chucked her on
the train, jumped after her. and away they wen t.
Fifty miles an hour, with his wife shrieking and
tearing her hair on the platform, and woman
he never saw before going into high-pressure
Mysteries in the car, calling him monster, and
yelling "Save me" BY terrible mistake he
had got hold Of the wrong woman, and the con-
duetOr, refusing to listen to his explanations,
kicked him out of the car, the brakeman chuck
ed him into the ditch, the Sheriff met him before
he was half way back to town and put handouts
on him, and when at last he got home, he saw
his business partner holding his wife on his lap,
and telling her that there were men in the world
who loved her much better than her faithless
husband ever did. He says the next time he
travels he will walk.-LeristoUn (Pa.) Democrat

addressed as Van Tassel, and thinking of his
friend Irving's legend of Sleepy Hollow he in
quired of this man if he knew Katrina Van Tas
