The Government, through the eff forts of General Crook, has recently distributed six months' rations to the Wallapai Indians at Blackberry. The tribe was almost Tn starving con dition, and the aid furnished as well as being timely was justifiable.- Prescott Miner.
 All of winch IS supreme bosh. The Wallapais are not in 8 starving con dition and never have been. They are now the fattest. laziest and dirti- est tciEe in all AIizona. Thy are toe lzy to work and in fact are almost too lazy even to steal. The crop of grass seeds, dates, jackrabbits etc., IS greater this year in tt'is portion of Arizona than ever before known in the memory of the oldest Indian or white inhabitant, and the Indians will gather enough seeds end dates this fall to last them for years. And this is the time of all times ;hat the government seizes to issue them ra tions of four and beans, the most of which they trade off for horses, fire arms, cartridges etc, while the bal snce Is wasted or thrown away. While we admire the generosity and solicitude evinced by General Crook and his wife in behalf of these poor Indians we think their efforts would

AN exchange says it is not the actual
low temperature which endangers the safety
OF such plants as awberries and other
small fruits, grapevines, roses and shrubs,
but the sudden changes or the exposure to
severe drying winds. Now that the soil is
covered by the sheltering mantle of snow,
it is a good time to make a permanent cov-
ering OF coarse litter or mansre. which will
protect the plants from the warmth OF a
clear, sunny day and the following cold of a
sharp, clear night. 1t is changes like this
which is fatal to many really hardy plants,
which might be saved by the protection of a
few evergreen boughs. some straw. or some
coarse litter from the stables.

lF fowls are not kept in too large num-
bers, if they are provided with we'll ventila-
ted houses which are cleaned two or three
times a week, and are fed With a consider
able variety of food and supplied with good
clean water and have gravel in abundance
with which to grind their food, there is no
danger OF cholera. So soon as any fowl
shows any tendency to disease it should be
removed from the flock at once, and if it has
what is termed cholera the heroic treatment
is the best, which is to kill the bird and burn
its body. If the birds do not seem to be in
thriving condition there should be A
change in their feed. 1t is we'll to use cay

to them once Or twice week. A little cop
peras in their drinking water occasionally,
if they are out of condition will be of serv-

so as to free them from vernin is desirable.

THE BREADsTUFFs' SITUATION.

What is the breadstuffs' situation? Dull
has accumulated until the supply is quite
large and, because of light export trade it is
increasing. Abroad prices have not improv-
ed but have rather declined. England is
our largest reliable customer for flour, but
her mills have this winter been turning out
more stock than for years before at the same
period. Our own country is not now by
any means the only large seller of -four to
England. Hungary is at present most for
midable competitor for that trade.
With wheat, likewise, we appear to be
overloaded. In foreign markets, too, there
S larger supply of wheat than current
consumption can make way with for many
weeks, if not tor some months. There is
wheat in England which cost its first receiv-
ers considerably more than the most which
could now be got from it, and not few old
and firmly established British houses deal
ing in grain have latterly been pushed to the
wall by the tide of declining values in bread
stuffs.
On January 9Th there was in this country
grand total of 35,506, ,5S4 bushels of wheat.
All this grain is out OF the producers hands.
1t was all in warehouses and elevators, or in
transit by mail or water to the chiet points
of accumulation. For substantially all of it
the producers have been paid. 1t is not the
farming class from any depreciation in value
and from the cost of carrying to which
this vast stock of grain is certainly liable.
How much wheat there may still be in the
farmers hands there is no way of even ap-

tured, and brought handsome price COM
pared with poultry of other kinds. But
where duck raising is the principal spring
industry of thrifty housewives in extensive
districts of England, the home of the Ayles-
bury, the great Englise market variety, the
young tlocks are fed with great care and
skill from the first on choice fare and to
their utmost capacity, and at the end of sew
en- or eighth weeks are ready to 60 into the
market as great delicacy, commanding re-
munerative prices.
Again, it is too often forgotten that the
feathers of ducks are valuable, and those of
the beautiful White Aylesburys can be sold
with geese feathers, to which they are quite
equal in value, and will bring the largest
price in the market. This is one consider
able item, and though feathers are proverb-
tally light, yet the ounces count up rapidly
into pounds when the number of birds to be
marketed is of any importance. We have
net time in this connection to say all we
would offer on this subject, but will still fur
ther enlarge upon it in future article

TURKEYS.

The turkeys that lay the soonest and the
nearest home and that are the best mothers
are those that have been we'll cared for
during the winter Yet turkey has the
instinct to 60 away and hide her nest, Just
as the Indian likes to get away from civiiza-
ton. But if you do not want it to get too
far away make it stay ut home this winter.
Turkeys, as well as barnyard fowls. like
dust baths. If you haven't provided them
with road dust give them the sitting of the
ashes, with little sulphur in it. Some peo-
pie put this at one end of the hen-house.
We put it in boxes. The only difficulty of
this plan is that hens may want to make
nests in the boxes. The ashes when seme-
what used should be removed Probably
the sulphur will have killed the insects, if
the ashes do not entirely remove them Sui

pores and produce colds at bad seasons. and

THE ORIGIN OF THE POTATO.

The potato, originally South American
plant, was introduced into Virginia by Sir
John Harvey in 1929, though it was un-
known in some counties OF England hun
dred and fifty years later. In PENNSYLVANIA
potatoes are mentioned very soon after the
advent OF the Quakers. They were not
among New York products in 1895, but in
l775 we are told of 1000 bushels grown on
one l6-acre patch in this province. Potatoes
were served, perhaps as an exotic rarity,
at a Harvard installation dinner in 1907 but
the plant was only brought into culture in
New England at the arrival OF the Presbv-
terian immigrants from Ireland in IT'S.
Five bushels were accounted a large crop of
potatoes tor a Connecticut farmer, for it WAS
held that, if Il man ate them every day. he
could not live beyond seven years.-Jam4-
arg Century.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1884-02-07

proXlmatey determining. No, it is the mill
ing and the grain dealing class which has to
bear the risks incident to the disposal of our
overload of wheat.
The past year the farmers have certainly
been shrewd enough. AS though by pre-
concerted plan, they have held the market
up to SITTER figures than foreign values
would justify, simply by refusing to let 90
of their grain when prices weakened until
strong values were restored. They very
wisely took advantage of the titfulness of the
speculators, who, whenever there is drop,
at once seek for real or fictitious reason for
hoisting values upward again.
There is an aggregate of over fourteen
million bushels more of wheat in sight in
this country now than there was year ago,
and there is more wheat on our hands now
by about eighteen million bushels than at
this time ia 1882. An unfortunate difference
is that in those years foreigners were not
remarkably well supplied with breadstutfS.
Now,as before noticed. they have more grain
on hand than almost ever before. With all
other grains, however, our situation is more
favorable. We have only about million
bushels more corn in sight than a year ago
and some six million bushels less than in
1881 or 1882 at the same period.
These facts would seem 10 indicate con-
tinuance of declines in brcadstuf1s values
And we may be pardoned If we alude to the
fact that soon after harvest the st. Louis
Miller warned its readers that the grain de-
cines, which have since occurred, were so
probable as to be almost inevitable, and we
repeat now what we declared then that this
is not year tor milers to buy wheat much
ahead of the demand for hour.-St. Louis
Miller.

CURE FOR CABBGE PESTS.

A gentleman in West Virginia believes
that he has discovered a simple and et1ectual
remedy for that abominable pest the cabbage
worm. 1t is so simple, and easily obtained,
that it should be tried by all who are in any
way troubled with the creature and al
though out OF the season of growing cab
bage. may be noted down in the Memoran-
dunn book tor reference at the proper time.
The remedy consists in procuring smart
weed, or pepper weed, as it it is sometimes
called well known to all farmers, growing
in and about farm yards, or sometimes by
the roadside. Take the weed green and dry
1t thoroughly, so that it can be reduced to
powder, which sprinkle over the young
plants, or when the the worms begin to ap-
pear; it will also prevent injury from the
little black feas that sometimes infest the
plant. Possibly if the smart weed was boil
ed in water, and that sprinkled on the plants
it would serve The same purpese.-Er.

SHADING TRUNKS OF TREES.

An old and experienced orchardist and
fruit grower, Mr.. Edison Gaylord, of Floyd
county, Illinois, offers some valuable sug-
gesions relative to the shading of the trunks
of trees on the southwest SIDE, as a protec-
ton against the effects of the sun and wind
remedy tor this serious trouble by very low
heads, but it has been only partially effective;
and che real remedy is in h.ving the main
branches, as well as the trank, to lean to-
aoard the one o'clock sun. Although the po
sitioA of his orchard is unfavorable, all the
trees he has set in this way are doing finely.
Professor Budd, of the Iowa Agricultural
College, to whom these suggestions were
made, strongly confirms these views, and
says that he saw in Russia hundreds of cher
ry and plum trees planted at an angle of
forty-five degrees toward the one O'Clock
sun, and has urged for years the Importance
of having urees to lean in the direction men
toned. They may have an awkward ap-
pearance for time, but we soon become
accustomed to it, especially in consideration
of the advantages.
There is not doubt of the correctness of
these views, nor that MIR. Budd has for sew
eral years urged this mode of protecting the
life and health of fruit trees. We have rec
commended the same method for oyer twenty
five years, not only by the 3ow branching OF
the trees, bat by generally securing the
trunks of trees as well IS of bushes and
plants, against the effects Of the sun, espe-
cially in winter, when the damage is nearly
all done by the freezing and thawing pro-
cess on the sunny side OF the trees constant
ly going on. By the leaning of the trees, as
recommended, the trunks are protect
ed against this ever changing of temper
| ature, while, on the north side, where the
SUMS rays have but little effect, and where
the temperature is nearly Uniform, no injury
is suffered. .-Germanto'nn Telegraph.
