"Is IL on the square" asked one Of the
men of Maxwell.
81 guess so," he said, "but We will take
no chances, and keep close"
The Indians then rode off. Maxwell
and his little party kept close to the fort,
but never saw an Indian again. They
had killed eight reds in the fight, and only
two of their men were wounded. During
the battle Mr.. Maxwell had close call,
a ball cutting away a look of his hair,
and another one glazing his jaw. Mrs.
Maxwell had ball wound in her arm; !;
another carried away part of her shoe.
The man Maxwell sent ont on the first
night of the siege re ached Fort Keogh in
safety, and Col. Baker with party of
cavalry was at once sen. to the relief of
the beleaguered little garrison. He
reached there the day after the Indians
left, and found Maxwell and his party en-
Joy ing themselves. He brought them
back TO Miles City, where they were
feasted by the citizsns and made much
of. Mr.. Maxwell gave up oil idea of set
tling on the Little Missouri and became
a citizen of Miles City. He was pio-
neer in starting a line of stages from
Miles to Deadwood by way of the Tongue
river, and think is running them still.

In the bottom of this leach put layer of
straw and peck or 90 of good lime; on

down as added, having depression in
the middle to hold the water better. Then
If there are men or boys whose services
are to be had, have them fill couple of
barrels of water for your convenience.
Soft water is best If it can be spared.
Pour the water on gradually, SO that it
will take the strength of the ashes and
make good lye. Usually the first that

SOWING RYE.
One Of the Rest Soiling Crops TO Grow.

One Of the Rest Soiiing Crops to Grow.
As q general rule rye is considered as a
somewhat surer crop than wheat. 1t is
one of the best soiilng crops that can be
grown, coming up early in the spring and
yielding large amount of feed, and
what is not used for feeding green can be
turned under as a fertilizer, or be out
and made Tito hay.
It should be sown reasonably early in
the fall so that good thrifty growth can
be secured in the fall. If desired con
siderable amount of pasturage can be Sc
cured during the winter. About the
same quantity should be sown to the acre
as cf wheat, aud the preparation of the
soil and the seeding is about the same.
At our last farmers clnb meeting, SOW
ing rye was discussed somewhat. One of
our best farmers stated, that with him
rye was a rather uncertain crop, unless
he sowed oats with it. His plan is to SOW
about five pecks of rye to the acre and in
addition to SOW one peck of oats. The
oats come up quick and make good
growth during the fall; they aid material
iy TO protect the rye from the ravages of
the Hessian fly, and during the winier act
as mulch TO protect the rye plants from

We have frequently given it as u
in sorghum rs a fodder crop, and es-
pccially SO if the crop were preserved in
the form of ensilage. We have taken
pains to give our readers from time to
time, the results Of such experiments in
this line as we couldlearn Of, all of which
seem favorable TO the exclusive growing
Of this plant for forage. 1t yields an i'm
mensc amount Of feed and is very
rich in its elements, is rclished by all
kinds of stock and will withstand drouth
much better than corn.
Mr.. ii, II. Clough the noted Ohio breed
er Of Hcrefords, in writing to the Ohio
Breeders Journal, contributes the follow
ing upon the subject which is directly in
line with what We have said in previous
numbers:
Last season | sowed about two acres Of
sorghum broadcast on rather poor sandy
land and owing to the drouth it failed to
grow over four feet high and mature. |

The Men who STAY.

Builders Gazette: Young mechanics
make a very egregious mistake when they
begin to think that they do too much for
their employers when they work 4 few
moments overtime TO complete a small
task that they sre performing just when
the whistle blows to quit work. More
young men have been kept from rccclv
ing an advance in their wages from this
than from any other known cause. En-
plOyers watch the movements of young
men very closely, and the least little thing
oftentimes places them in an unfavorable
light before their employers. 1t is the
young man who studies the interest of his
employer, and is not afraid to give him a
few moments, that gets the rapid adj
vancement. He is the young man selected
when there are any favors to be granted.
| can tell in twenty minutes in any
workshop the young mar that is most
likely to succeed in his trade. He is the
last to leave his work and is always
prompt in beginning it. These fellows
that drop their work at the moment are
always the mes that the employer is ready
TO discharge when business gets a little
slack. The young man who takes the
interest of his work at heart, and his en-
ployer into consideration, is very rarely
laid of in slack times.

There is always a difficulty in keeping
the floor Of a poultry house clean, and
unless it IS accomplished in ONE way the
birds will not do well.
One way that has been adopted by
ONE breeders is TO set the rOosting poles
a foot apart and three feet from the
ground, and about "A foot below the poles
place a light wooden platform wide
enough to catch all droppings. Nail
boards around the sides of this so as to
make it a trough, say two inches deep,
and keep it well sprinklcd with sifted
coal ashes or fine dust. The droppings
will all be caught on this wooden pan and
the dust will deodorizc them and prevent
the escape Of ammonia and other gases
that poison the air.
This platform can be easily cleaned
and should be attended to regularly an
rcdusted after each cleaning. Then if
the floor is frequently busted and Uttered
with chat there will be little trouble
from impure AR.
Another important point is to have a
dust bath always ready for the hen. This
is imperative. Shallow pans or boxes
must be provided and the dust in them
frequently changed. If they are raised
two OF three inches from the floor so that
the air will circulate under them it will
be much better. Wood ashes are excel.
lent for the dust bath, but must not be
allowed to come in contact with the
droppings as that will free the ammonia
and do much harm. Hens that have a
good dust bath are not apt to be badly
troubled with lice and will be healthier
in every way than those that do net.
There should always be a supply Of
fresh gravel convenient, as it is necessary
to aid biddy in grinding her feed, and
broken shells, limestone or pounded
mortar will be an aid in this respect as
well as giving a better supply of material
for good strong egg shells.
Always see that an abundant supply OF
absolutely fresh water is provided, and in
cold weather it will be better if 1t is
slightly warmed. If treated in this way
and given a proper supply of wholesome
food, pullets at six months of age will be
, gin laying and lay all winter long, max
ing a very profitable source of income to
their owners, but it will require work and
careful attention TO the little things to at
tain success in this line, and anyone who
is not willing to bestow the proper care
upon his fowls had better let them run
wild, roost on the trees, and be a matter
Of chance rather than profit.

we have a dry summer We begin feeding it

out on grass, and it is eaten with the
same relish the last month as the first.
