Becoming Good Indians,

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The agent
at the Southern Ute reservation writes the
following to the Department.
81 Ihave noticed quite change in the gen
eral disposition of these Indians to desist
from wrong and violent acts, alsd to com
ply more willingly with such instructions
- are from time to time given them. This
think is greatly due to the free and unre-
strained mingling with the better element
Of white settlers, principally farmers sur
rounding the reservation. II the Indians
are to be civilized they must have q chance
to see almost daily how the white man lives
and l give them all required opportunity" +"
This, he explains, refers to the Capoto
and Monache bands. who live in the eastern
part of the reservation, but those living in
the western part, the Whee-minuche tribe,
'largely resist anything in the way Of edu-
cation or anything tending to the modes Of
civilized life, except to draw their rations
and annuities."

An Innocent Man Lynched.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Ons spring
morning two years ago the people of New
Jersey were startled to hear that such a
crime had been committed in the former
state, within twenty miles Of this city, as
was supposed could hardly occur in a law
abiding eastern community.
Samuel johnson, an old negro, had been
Iynched in an atrocious manner at Eaton
town because as there was a good deal Of
reason to believe, he had assaulted Miss
Antoine Herbert, awhile girl. The negro
protested his innocence to the last, and in
the most heart rendring manner implored
his assassins to spare him.
Now comes an appalling story in the
shape Of confession from the real criminal
that johnson was innocent Richard
Kearney, a negro under sentence of death
in Freehold, New Jersey, for the murder OF
Mrs. Margaret Purcell. voluntarily made a
sworn statement to the officials on Satur-
day that it was he who assaulted Miss

written by Mrs. Cleveland to lady friend
in Worcester, who had forwarded Mrs.

considerate as hers.
The weekly weather crop bulletin
says in part: 1.-THE weather during the
week has been generally favorable for all
crops in the states Of the Mississippi, Ohio
and missouri valleys, where crop condi-
tions have doubtless improved, although
in the extreme northern States the temper
ature has been too low for rapid growth.
Parts of Michigan report too much rain for
corn, and some damage from hail is re-
ported from Kansas

One of the incidents of to oday's convention
was the speech by Hon. Thomas NJ. Patter-

ceived with the most respectful attention
and generously punciuated by the applause
of the vast audience. Upon leaving the
stand he was warmly congratulated by
Hon. Daniel Dougberty of New York in
the following language: "Mr. Patterson,

Ohio, West Virginia and Western Pennsyl-

HOGS FOR MARKET.
Why Farmers Should Study the Require
ments OF Buyers.

At no time during the past six years
tas the price Of hogs beenso low ut
that a profit could be made in feeding
the corn raised upon the farm. at the
prices which it commanded in the
market il it was fed in the proper man.
nsr and the right kind Of stock was
kept TO consume it. Instead Of this
being done. however, there are thou
sands of farmers In Ohio and other
States who feed little more pork than
is needed for consumption, holding back
either from fear of disease or from the
belief that there is no gain in Pc
cunisry way by so doing. That this
conclusion is an error no one who has
thoroughly tried it will deny. That
the conditions may be such as to make
it true will admit but these condi-
tons being within the control Of the
farmer. may be made profitable or un-
profitable as he shapes them. In rails
Ing hogs there are many agencies
which determine whether success or
failure shall crown the efforts. Shell
ter, stock. breed, water, care. regu-
larity of feeding and season, all assist
or prevent the gain that should be made
from the food consumed.
One of the first requisites In feeding
for market is good stock. All farmers
agree ON this point, but considerable
proportion of them fails to follow up
its doctrine. While they invest in i'm.
proved machinery. till the soil In ex-
cellent manner, buy the latest novel.

sibly), they can be induced by no argu
ment to invest in thoroughbred hogs ~
a foundation for their herds. There 10
no outlay which will pay greater per
cent upon the investment, or one that
will give moro satisfaction in the pur.
suing, but in spite Of all this the notion
has some how or other gained foot
hold among farmers that a grade is a.
rood as thoroughbred for fattenine
purposes There never was a greater
mistake made than to follow out this
notion, and those who have tried II
with both kinds are invariably in favor
Of the thoroughbreds- The expense Of
infusing new and better blood into a
herd is not nearly so great a. many
farmers imagine. A good boar pig
possessing all the requirements Of
good fattening hog can be purchased
of reliable breeders for ten dollars,
and il little more extravaganza can
be entered into, and good SOW
not akin 10 added. the founda-
ton of a successful herd 10 laid and
ready 10 build upon.
With the conditions of the corn and
hog market as they are at present it 10
imperative that farmers should breed Q
better quail ity Of hogs than those they
send to the great hog centers Of this
country. The hog Of to-day must be
broad. deep and compact enough to
fatten at six months old, or over, as the
farmer may desire. The requirements Of
the market should be studied and met In
the matter Of breeds and ages. II light
weights are wanted, then the smaller
breeds, such as Yorkshires, ETC., will
give the quickest and best returns; II
heavy weights, the Poland-C China, Bsrk.
shire, Jersey Reds, etc., are what 10
needed. -E. l. GashiH n 0Ate EarWA
