Draining Wheat Fields.

If no other method has been devised
for draining wheat fields, which are
sometimes too wet, it will pay to plow
burrows from the lowest spots to some
still lower point outside. The drought,
which has parched even the low lands
this year, will probably be succeeded by
an unusually large rainfall, which will
make low fields, which have not been
drained, extremely wet. Every expert
enced wheat grower knows that if water
is allowed to stand upon the ground late
in the fall the crop will not only be di-
rectly injured thereby, but will also be
liable to be severely damaged by swim
ter killing" and it should be his aim to
prevent, as far as possible, both of these
evils. A heavy rain will do little dam
age to a wheat field if provision is made
for the prompt removal of the surplus
water, while moderate rainfall upon
undrained land which is already too wet
will cause the destruction of many of
plants, and largely reduce the possible
yield OF the crop. While thorough
drainage is much better than any make
shift which can be invented, it is much
better to adopt the very imperfect plan
recommended above than it is to make
no provision for the protection of the
crop from injury by an excess of mois-
ture in the soil.-Fdrm and Garden.

shameiul systcm Of remale sIarerr.

After supper the rancher called our
attention to a comely-looking sauaw
and three pretty half-breed children,
who sat In the room. 81 gave pretty
good horse for her," he said. "She
was very pretty then" inquired if he
was married, and Mince gave some
facts which are rather startling. The
purchase of Indian girls into slavery by
white men, under the pretense of mar
riage, was referred to by one of the
chiefs who spoke at the Standing Rock
peace council, described in my last let
ter, and what our host said corroborates
ali l have previously heard about the
shameful practice. Several years ago
he went to the Standing Rock agency
and bought an Indian girl, to whom he
was afterward lawfully married. Sew
eral children were born, and the wife.
wearied of toiling in the fields from day.
light until dark, ran away and reioined
her tribe. Then Mince bought his pres
ent squaw and brought her home. She
IS not allowed to eat at the same table
with the rancher, although she labors at
least ten hours day and cooks all the
meals, and Mince informed me that
when the unfortunate woman does not
please him he beats her. This system
of female slavery is much more extern
sive than the public generally suppose.
Scores OF white men are accommodating
wealth from the physical labors of these
poor women and their children. Cap
tain Boyton says that few days ago a
white woodcutter bought twelve-year-
old Indian girl for $3.50 at the Berthold
agency, and it was regarded there as an
ordinary business transaction. As all
half-breed children are entitled to ra-
tons and clothing from the Indian
agencies, the Importance of this i'm
moral slavery question as mere matter
of governmental economy is self-evi-
dent. This is a phase of the Indian
question which is kept in the back
ground, but it is fruitful source of evil
and misery which needs immediate at
tention. Montana Cor. N. Y. Herald.

The appearance at the cashiers
desk of the Palmer House, Chicago, of
bright young lady, who filled the posi-
ton with all the expedition and COM
placency of a man of trained experience,
challenged public attention. The pro-
prietor says that for some time he has
been convinced that for such positions
women were more apt to give satisfac-
ton than men. "0f course this was
flying into the face of the prejudice of a
very large class of very excellent people,
who do not believe that ladies should be
employed in public capacities at all.
The success of our experiment has
shown the fallacy of that theory. At
present we give employment to three
ladies in our office. Two of them are
cashiers and one a bookkeeper. To one
OF these ladies at the cashiers desk we
pay 81 1000 per year and board, to an
other $500 per year and board, and to
our bookkeeper we pay 600 and board.
If they choose to live away from the
hotel we give them an additional allow
ance of $500 per year. These salaries
look big for ladies, but they have the
talent, they do the work, and we are
much better satisfied than we were with
our male employees.

A Good Feeding Pen.

We have farmer friend who has q
feeding pen, which he calls his "mort-
gage extinguisher''-a good name, in
deed, for its adoption by him permitted
that blessed sort of job to be done for
his farm. Our friend is the owner of a
quarter section in the central portion of
the State, and the raising of hogs has
been the leading feature of his agricul-
tural work. Finding that he had ill
luck with his hogs, he conceived the
sensible idea that if he would feed his
hogs on floors, keep them supplied with
abundant good water, and where he could
reasonably protect them against storms,
he would escape, so he went to work on
the following plan: Selecting place
sloping to the west in his hog lot, he
built pen, twenty by sixty feet. The
posts were cut from the timber and put
in so that the bottom of the pen was
four feet above the ground. He hewed
out the timber necessary to make the
frame good and strong, running beam
through the middle. This was covered
with two,inch plank, twelve inches wide
being used, with slope of one foot in
twenty. Sides and ends were put on
four feet high of the same plank. A
RUNAWAY" was made at one corner for
the hogs to run up to the feeding place.
A water trough was put in, reaching
along the whole upper side, eight
inches deep and ten wide, out of two
inch stuff. The water problem was
settled by the digging of a well at the
end of the pen, where the pump could
turn its supply directly into the trough.
AT the lower side the planks serving as
sides were raised two inches or more
from the floor, so that the cobs and ex-
crement would work through and fall
out. This pen, unroofed, was used one
season; then light, movable roof was
put up that could be run on rollers into
sections, so that half the pen could be
made to have sunlight. platform was
made on one side where a couple of
hundred bushels of corn could be piled
up, to be shoveled over as required.
When the real work of fattening came
on, the pen was subdivided into six or
more places, so that about twelve or
fifteen hogs were together. This pre-
vented piling up to dangerous extent
in the early cold weather, and kept them
quiet. All that was fed those hogs
counted. In the cold rains of the fall
they were under good protection, and
they were always ready for market about
twenty days before any others in the
neighborhood.
Other Improvements were made by
our enterprising farmer. All the swiil
from the house was hauled away to the
pen in a barrel hung on pivots, and
emptied into a tank opening directly in
TO the trough, and by raising two-inch
gate the slop, which had been mixed
with meal and stuff, so that it "soured,n
had free access to the "boarders" in the
pen. This investment paid, and paid
very largely. ''It is the thing that has
given us this farm; it is our mortgage
eXtinguisher,' and has no patent on it."
said our friend, in whose cheerful home
we found genuine hospitality. So we
give picture of that pen as we saw it,
and commend il as the best thing of the
kind we have seaa, OSEal00Sa (L0ra)

the only hotel near the indianapolis
Stock-yards. The bOarders paid the
new rate without word, but secretly
took a pledge of total abstinence from
strong drink. A week of prosperity in
the dining-room was more than offset
by cessation of business in the bar
room, and the landlord was glad to re-
