WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The annual report
of the Indian bureau for 1880 has been COM
pleted. It exhibits continued, steady adj
vancement towards civilization on the part of
nearly all the Indian tribes, and very remarks
BILE prOgrebs in many instances, especially
among the Ogallallas and Brule Sioux. In
Dakota and on the Pacific coast the Indians
are in self-supporting condition. The num-
Der of Indians in the United States, exclusive
of Alaska, is reported at 255, 93S, all of whpm
except about Is, 900 are more or less under the
direction and control of the agencies of the
government. The civilized Indians now in the
Territory number GO, $50 and the uncivilized,
1850. There are, in round numbers, 1000
Indians il Dakota, $4,000 in New
Mexico. $1,000 in Montana, 1900 in
Arizona, and $4,000 in Washington
Territory, collected at Yokema agency. The
demands upon the bureau by the Indians of q
large majority of the agencies for implements
with which to enable them to perform manual
labor are far beyond the means at the disposal
of the department for that purpose The de-
sire of the Indians to labor is steadily growing,
and large numbers are willing and anxious to
engage in civilized pursuits and the improve
ment in their manner of putting in and caring
for crops raised shows the efforts Of the past
five years are gradually beginning to show
themselves. It appears there are upwards of
5000 Indians in New York State and more than
10000 in the State of Michigan. The follow
ing table shows the substantial results of In-
dian labor during the year by Indians exclusive

ClawSon Wheat,

Prof. Dole is raising the Clawson wheat
and his opinion and experience with it, in
Vermont, fully confirms the favorable
estimate of western growers. All whom
we have heard speak of it agree in its
great yield, and the question of its quality
we believe is settled in its favor. Prof.
Dole has Il limited amount of seed to
spare for fall sowing.
The white Russian we had of him this
spring, we are just now cutting, and il
looks and promises well, the heads are
long and well filled but on some of oul
pieces the straw has grown too small so il
has not stood up well, through the very
heavy showers with high winds may have
broken it over somewhat, but on the whole
our success is pretty good-and we hope
to raise our own llonr, though an unflvor
able season might in some measure damp
en- our ardor. We have no quarrel will
those who think they can raise and sell
oats TO buy flour cheaper than they car
raise wheat they probably know thei
own situation better than anybody else
but we do rather hate to see any fodder
sold off from the farm. but had mucl
rather see it bought on.
Perhaps practice makes some difference
for buying meal is common enough
thing here and our town bought in 1879
probably one hundred and twenty.fi
tons of corn meal; one dealer alone sell
ing one hundred tons. Was it bought
with profile We think so.

we take everything out Of the closets ana

necessary; but some people in addition tie
up little pieces of camphor-gum and lay
them among their blankets. A friend who

FEEDING LAND WITH CLovER.-There
is no crop so valuable for the renovation
of partly exhausted grain lands as clover.
say partly exhausted. for if lands are ex-
hausNd beyond a degree of fertility, the
clover plant cannot be grown. There is
a question that often arises in the minds
of many farmers as to how they may best
utilize the crop to increase fertility. One
asks whether it is best for the land to
plow in the first crop grown after seed
ing, or to let it 60 over to n second years
growth. Having no regard for the use of
land, there might be benefit to the soil by
the rest ola second year. but the clover
plant being a biennial Tor at least it is SO
classed and is largely so in habit, as but
few plants in ordinary soils will survive
the second season., it is evident that the
first crop is best to pillow in as fertil-
izcr and renovater. If it is the chief OBJ
iect of the farmer TO enrich his land, and
that by the growing of clover to turn in,
the greatest good will be gained by plow-
ing in the first crop when it is in full
bloom and near maturity; but if profit to
the farm is the object, it is best to NOW
the first crop for hay, feed it on the farm
and apply the manure made to the farm.
A second growth of clover plowed in,
with the roots of the strong growing plant
will afford nearly rs much fertility to the
soil as would the first, and the hay crop
and manure gained.-F p. Root, Tribune

More Sugar Yet.

We find we were in error last wccl
when we said mo sugar this fall" though
1t is true so far as the state societys com
is concerned. But we met Prof Dole O

he told us he intended to give the matter Il

and simple crusher can make his addition
to the sugar crop. We said if this expert
ment is succeSsful-and that is Just what
Prof. Doll is going to demonstrate.
We hope the state society," committee
will yet reconsider their decision to do
nothing in the matter this fall but will
bay their imachinery and give corn

ry rs they would probably get, and save a
years time. But Mt any rate, the thanks
of the farmers are due to Prof. Dole for
his enterprise in the matter, and his
efforts to determine the question of sugar
from corn stalks.
Farmer Sanborn of the state farm ut
Hanover, N. H., is doing his best to help
solve the problem of how to raise our own
sugar. lie has one-quarter of an acre in
sorghum huff of which, h. writ,i, is

THE HONEY CRoP.-The reports con-

Notwithstanding the recent large mortality

American honey has very largely inereas-

state of New York give very encouraging
prospects of fair crop Of good honey,
especially from the Cherry Valley district,

the number of honey producing bees and
the large demand, an advance of ten per

ford young man boarded horse car the
other day with bunch of three roses.
One was white, one green, and one of a
delicate flesh-colored tint. These flowers
attracted the attention of the passengers,

any so perfect and SO lovely as this one.

man volunteered the information that aii
were white in the morning, and that the
coloring was done by putting the stem of
one into green ink and the other into red
ink. Although the leaves were beautifully
colored. the coloring would not rub off,
but it seemed as if nature had done the
work. 1t only required ten minutes to
change the color.-RarTord Csurant.

The Ok Eye Daisy.

have always supposed Il man who

If man waits for the OK eye daisy | am

early or late, | will venture the assertion
that his days will outnumber Methuse
labs when that daisy dies from that cause .
The ox-eye can not be extermiuated by
any process. | would not be understood
that 1t can not be rooted out of some
localities, and by constant watching, kept
out, but its hold on our pastures and now
inSs for the most part will remain. This
weed, known among farmers as white
weed or white daisy, is very aggressive

this reason most of it ripens its seed, and

No doubt it is q great damage to
the hay crop of New England and
wherever it abounds. There are two
ways to deal with it. Let it have its way,

cut late it is worthless except to seed any
spot you have where it is not. Another

PerShtrc, w., IN NeW England Farnler.
We would say to Mr.. Goodhue that
"ox-eye daisy" is no more white weed
than hearts ease is white clover or white
daisy, and the farmers in our section have
good cause 10 know the difference. The
ox'eye or yellow daisy has a flower larger
than white daisy. the leaves of which are
little darker yellow than the centre of
the white daisy-and black centre. 1t
is utterly useless to try to kill or extermi-
nate the white daisy by moving, and we
preferred to pull the yellow daisy to rnn-
ming any risks of living, or propogating
by seeds which might chance to be ripe
enough to terminate.
