No Need to Go West.
BrattLebOrO PhRniz.

The National Stockman and Farmer,
in calling attention to the farms adver
tised for sale in it's columns, says:
"There is a class of people who en-
Joy going to the frontier, taking up
land at government prices, enduring
the hardships and deprivatiOns incl
dent to such life but the history OF
our western border proves that great
many of these people do not remain
much longer than is necessary to
prove up and clear title, if so long
as that. Some one comes along and
gives them little premium for their
bargain, and, under the strange fascl-
nation this kind of life has for them,
off they go to the front again to take
up different claim, Often-times under
II different name. Those who pur-
chase the half-made homes and farms
make the most profit. Still more en-
phatically is it true that those who lO
cate on the well-improvcd farms in
our central states get much for which
they pay nothing. They generally
buy at n bargain and start in with the
comforts and cOnveniences of life
around them. Many man passes by
good farms or his way to the far west,
to regret the remainder of his days
that he THUS took his family from those
surroundings that minister so much to
both health and happiness"
What the StOckman says of the good
farms in the central states passed by
on the route to- the west applies with
more force to the farms here which are
left to be sold, sometimes for less than
half what the buildings, fences and
improvements have cost.

A Model Thanksgiving Proclamation

Here is a model Thanksgiving pro-
clamatiOn, issued by the chief of the
Cherokee nation on the late national
Thanksgiving:
To the Cherokee people: Let us
again publicly confess and cOmmemO-
rate the goodness of the Great Spirit
by devOting one day in this year to
thanksgiving in unison. 1t is good
custom, and should impress upon our
minds truth that every one ought to
realize more and more as the days and
hours succeed each other in our short
lives. That truth is, that everything
we have comes from God, and that ev-
erything is good and will be profitable
to us, even as we regard and treat it,
for the due observance of our duty to
our common Father and our brothers.
Therefore =
|, ID. w. Bushyhead, principal chief
of the Cherokee nation, do now APP
point Thursday, the 25th day of No
vember, 1886, as day of general
thanksgiving and praise throughout
this nation, and recommend to all
Cherokees To "kecp" the said anniver-
sary soberly, gladly and lovingly as
BELTS Il reasonable and Christian PEG
pie SO to do. Should there be poor
and unfortunate in any neighbOrhOOd,
forget and neglect them not. Our sys-
TEN of society and government will
not allow of excessive individual
wealth, nor of it's sure attendant -ex-
cessive poverty-fOr which let us give
special thanks and hold fast to that
which is good. But what is called ac-
cident or misfortune will ever present
opportunities tn the generous aud Wig
liant in well doing To do acts of benev
Olence. May the next Thanksgiving
day find US, as nation and as indi-
viduals, more prosperous and happy
for having kept this one.
In witness whereof | hereuntO sci
my hand and affix the seal of the Cher
okee nation on this, the 18th day Of
November, A. ID. 1886.

The Wonderful Artesian Well in Iowa

A correspondent, writing from Ce-
dar Rapids, Iowa, says: 1.-The artesian
well at Bell Plaine, b miles west of
here, still attracts much attention.
Although exaggerated accounts of it
have been sent all over the country,
it is certainly a great wonder. The
facts, briefly stated, are these: A well
was sunk to the depth of nearly 200
feet with a twO-inch anger. 1t was
the intention 10 insert three-inch
tube as soon as the water would en-
large the opening sufficiently. The
tube was driven down, and the water
commenced tn rise outside of the tube.
1t was thought that this could easily
be stopped After IA few hours the
water burst up in a column three or
four feet in diameter, rising from four
to ak feet in height, aud pouring out
sand and gravel by the carload. The
water came up with such force that a
"A stone conld not be dropped into the
opening. IL would be hurled out with
great force. A large eighteen inch
lube was inserted, bat this disappear

DOES HIGH FARMING PAY?

Stopping for the present in the thrift
ty village of Orange, Mass, would
call attention to IA small farm, just il
the edge of the modern village, that
may be of interest to- some, as the pro-
prietOr, Denison Chase, is a native OF
West Concord, and was there engaged
some 81 years ago along with brother
and father in a general machlnlsts
business. He is now at the head OF
the Chase Turbine Manufacturing COM
pany here. The farm consists of but
nine acres, including the building sites.
1t has been thoroughly reclaimed from
of the most, if not the most productive
plots in the state. The present sea-
sons yield of crops harvested consist
ed of $50 baskets of ears of corn, 20
baskets being popcorn l4O bushels OF
carrots; 100 bushels of potatoes; 30
bushels turnips 40 bushels beets ;
several bushels beans; two or three
cwt. of squash, and dry forage enough
to winter six COW kind and one horse,
his present stock, for which he has the
most modern barn cOnveniences with
a concrete barn cellar, liquid manure
proof. He sells the milk from the
cows right at door to the consumers,
for which business he is nicely situat-
ed. And oft times sells three or more
tons of hay besides, and has wintering
at the present time twenty hog
kind.
Mr.. Chase attributes his farming
success to the following principal rea-
SONS, viz: First to IL faithful farmer !;
secondly, plenty of manure and tilling,
and last but by no means least, the
help of several good agricultural jOnr-
nails.
Moral If such success attends ones
efforts on the more reputed light soil
of the Bay state, why need the aver
age farmer of our state lose courage
by using the same excellent reasons
with our naturally more fertile soil 2

Put Back the Chairs.

When the room in which the family
sits during the evening is left, for
the night, the chairs should be placed
close against the walls. Sometimes a
person goes back in the dark to get
some article, the exact location OF
which he remembers, and if chairs
were left in the middle of the room he
might come to grief. Some of the ac-
cidents that occur in darkness might
be avoided if the hands and feet were
used more slOwly.-[GoOd HOusekeep-
