the commission to treat with the Sioux for
ceding portion of their big reservation,
returned to Tankton from the Cheyenne
agency about $50 miles up the river. The
commission organized Oct. 2, proceeded to
Santee, Rosebud and Pine Ridge agencies
which together have nearly 1900 Indians
with whom satisfactory agreements we're
made. The tribes at these places are to
have small reservations with the lands
in severalty between the Nebraska line and
White river. The commission visited
Standing Rock, where a similar agreement
was made with the Indians. The reserva-
ton will be bounded by the Missouri on
the east, Grand river on the south, 1O2
meridian on the west and Cannon Ball river
on the north. The Cheyenne Indians, of
whom there are three tribes, and who are
the most intelligent Indians the commits
sion met, are to have tract bounded by
the Missouri on the east, the Cheyenne on
tho south, the 1O2 meridian on the
west and Grand river on tho north.
All the different members of the
Sioux nation have land in
severalty, are to be supplied with teachers,
mechanics, farmers, cattle for breeding and
rations until they become self-sustaining.
In return they surrender great part of the
Big Sioux reservation. The commits 81 on
are to visit Grow Creek and Lower Brule
agencies, but the success of the mission is
already assumed, with or without the con-
sent of the 1900 Indians at the two agencies.
The commission will finish their labors by
Feb. 1. fcongress then ratifies the agree
ment made, the big reservation will be
broken up and Dakota will develop faster
than ever

The large eating capacity of good dairy
cow is proverbial, which will be easily un-
derstood if we make cursory examination
of her production. Suppose COW weigh
ing 900 pounds yields 5000 pounds of
milk in nine months; this milk would con-
tain 7s0 pounds of dry matter, counting it
81 per cent. water. Here she yields six
and two-third times her own weight in
milk, while the dry substance in the milk
is twice that in her own body. The cow
is the most remarkable food produceramoDg
animals. She produces twice as much
food in her milk as does the beef animal of
the same weight gain in flesh during the
same time.

EXCLUSIVE Corn FEEDING.-A swine

that exclusive corn feeding will produce
inflammation of the bowels and cause pigs
to die. | lost several at one time before [
discovered the cause After they were
dead they turned black under their bellies,
which led me to surmise the seat of the
disease. Some of those living in the same
lot upon examination were found to be
quite red beneath the bowels, and the sur
face under their bellies was found to be
hot, which plainly indicated an inAamed
condition of the stomach and bowels.
These pigs were saved by complete change
of diet to wheat middlings and vegetables.
The pigs were about three months old

Important to Farmers.

The Hagerstown Mail of recent date
contains a very interesting account of the
value of ground limestone AS a fertilizer,
and states that the subject is attracting
considerable attention from the farmers Of
Washington county and creating good
deal Of discussion as to its merits as Il sub
stitute for phosphate and other fertilizers.
Besides its superiority as IA fertilizer the
cost is far below any now sold in the mar
ket Ground limestone costs about S. per
ton while bone costs about $40 per ton.
A number of the farmers of Washing
ton county have used ground limestone
with the most gratifying results. Some
of the farmers pronounce the wheat sown
with ground limestone far superior in APP
pearance to that sown with bone phosphate.
Nothing can be decided definitely until
harvest, and the experiment is as yet in its
infancy.
Ground limestone is the carbonate Of
lime which is absolutely necessary as plant
food for it is foundin the ashes of all plants
This of itself goes to show what an impor-
tant constituent it is in the proper growth
and Development Of vegetable life. If it
can be proved conclusively that ground
limestone has superior qualities as a fertili-
ger it ought to work revolution in Car
roll county among Carroll county farm
ert and save them thousands of dollars now
expended for phosphates and other fertili-
zers Limestone is abundant in portions
of the county, a broad belt Of it extending
from the Pennsylvania line to the Potomac,
and there is therefore no reason to fear of
scarcity of the article for many years to
come. The subject is one of deep impor-
lance to the farmers of this county, and it
is to be hoped that the bright picture paint
ed by the MaHmay prove genuine reality.

observation-disclosures accept the
accompanying walking sticks as a
slight testimonial of my high re-
gard for each of you.
These sticks grew in the generous
soil OF the Goth civil district of your
county, and some two years ago,
were weakly "50-4" sprouts, almost
stnothered by the brambles and
briers of 1881" and "repudiation, !"
in which there was always to be
found a providing &trdge. Thus en-
comprised by foes ON all sides, it
seemed that their development and
further progress was impossible,
but by the very logic of events.
Some eighteen moths since, IA gen
tie Republican breeze swept over
our volunteer State, and by kindly
bending these sickly sprouts stirred
them to their foundations, when
they at once took on new life and,
true to nature and to the honor of
the State that matured them, they
have developed into vigorous,
healthy "l00-3' sticks "with cou-
pom features attached" and as such
they are rendered to you.
BY the aid of my trusty pocket
knife, | cut the sticks and fashion
ed them as they are, 1T odd hours,
when rejecting on the past and
specializing on the future, and not
withstanding the fact that while
in my hands they have kindly Ia
ken on IL Republican polish, it is
believed they are at heart good
Democratic sticks. Trusting they
will be received in the same spirit
of friendship in which they are Of
fered and wishing each of you a
happy and prosperous New Year,
am, very truly,
w. F. GREEN.
