An Indian Cumming v

Every autumn, II they are allowed to
do so, the Concows have "burningn or
burnt offering TO their dead, says
writer in tho San Francisco Alta. They
erect brush house in the graveyard,
and upon the night selected by the
medicine" men all repair thither laden
with baskets, beads, pinola aud acorn
soup. The baskets and beads are hung
on poles, the pinola and acorn soup
being set at the bottom in the big
baskets, that are fashioned so closely as
to hold water. Again we see what they
have gained from the white man. After
the white people, who come to sec the
burning" have bought the finest and
the best OF the baskets, the rest are
thrown into the large fire in front of the
brush house and each one seeks tho
graves of his dead relations, and there
they sit and cry till morning. The noise
can be heard for miles distant. The
half breeds or younger ones generally
spend their time in gambling. This il
carried on either with cards or by means
Of the grass game, which 10 thus played:
Two or four men, selected by some one,
scat themselves on the ground where
the grass is long, or, II the game 10
carried on in the sweat-house, they pull
a quantity of the grass and lay it In piles
in front of them. Then one side hav.
ing decided by lot which-begins. TAX.
ing four small sticks in his hands ds-twe
in each-ho sings a monotonous chant,
the words of which have little or no
meaning, in the meantime rapidly chang.
ing the sticks from one hand TO the
other, rubbing his hands together,
snatching up handfuls of grass, some.
times burying his hands in the grass,
then tossing small bundle Of it over
his head, and going through all sorts OF
maneuvcrs to conceal the change of the
sticks or deer bones One Of them il
peculiarly marked, and the game is te
guess in viii h hand it is held. At
given signal from the opposing side, the
motions are stopped and the guess il
made, and the player loses or wins the
pile of beads or money in the center, a.
the case may be. To an Indian there
is nothing more exciting than a good
grass game" and they will play foI
days at a time, hardly stopping to eat OF
drink, and their legend of the game tell
that in olden times men played for men,
a chief betting his men, and finally him
self, till all were lost or became captive
to the enemy, till In Koi.to Uhe
Saviour came and won all men back ane
gave them to themselves aga to be free,
and then left with them a message &c
Glove one another" aud look fer his
coming again.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Top-Priced Butter.

The manufacture of extra choice but.
ter is cleverly and briefly summed up in
the following from the agricultural Ga
sette. ANYONE who has a good sweet
pasture, who keeps his dairy and every
utensil in it scrupulously clean, who
never churns cream more than sixty
hours old from tho COW, and always at the
proper temperature, tested by a ther-
mometer, who uses n proper churn Cthere
are lots of them), ventilating his churn
at intervals by taking out the plug; who
stops churning the moment the butter
shows itself in small grains not so large
as wheat; who then lets the churn rest
until the butter all floats up to the top,
aud then carefully lets out the butter
milk, and replaces it with clean cold
water, turning it very slowly; who again
lets the churn stop to let the butter float
up and then lets ont the milky water and
replaces it with fresh supply of cold
water; who then gives the churn very
few slow turns round, and then a little
faster, so as to gather the butter into a
sort Of lump, and then lets out the butter
with cloth over both hands, so as not
to touch it, and then, when cool. works
1t with proper butter worker aud never
touches it with his hands, but only with
wooden hands, will most assuredly
make top.priced butter"

Rotations in Crops,

]. Rotations are valuable because
plants vary in the area of the soil in
which their roots grow and from which
they derive the sustenance of the plant,
thus more completely utilizing the soil
within their reach. 9. There is a re.
markable variation in the power of plants
TO appropriate the various elements of
plant growth, due, at least in part to
the character Of the acids secreted by
their roots. Thus one plant, like clover,
has high power of gathering nitrogen,
and another, like wheat, very low
power. 3. Plants vary in their weight
OF roots. AS au illustration, clover car
rles several times the weight of roots
that wheat does, aud inasmuch as clover
roots are very much richer in nitrogen
than wheat, and carry enough nitrogen
to grow q crop of wheat-wheat will
most advantageously follow clover.
Thus, likewise, other plants follow each
other advantageously. 4. Rotation of
crops bales, in a large measure, the
root enemies, both insect and fungoid,
that prey upon the various crops. Each
plant having its own peculiar enemies,
the Changing removes them to fields un-
occupied by such enemies. This is true
of the enemies of tie above ground
growth of plants to an important de.
gree. .. Plants vary in the amounts of
the varying clements of nutrition ac-
tually taken up by its growth. Thus,
while wheat takes only 1t pounds of
potash for every pound of phosphoric
acid, potatoes take 81 pounds of potash
Tor each pound of phosphoric acid.
Continuous growth of potatoes would
exhaust the potash of the soil or of sup
plied manure long before the phosphoric
acid could give out. 6. The leaves of
plants vary in their power of gaining
food and of vaporizing water, and are
roughly divided into broad aud narrow
leaved. z. Leaves vary in their season
of active growth. Those plants matur-
ing in midsummer and early fall, gener-
ally gather nitrogen, corn and turnips
are good examples), following in their
growth the decomposing influence of the
sun, more easily aud more fully than
ether crons do. 6. Rotation conserves
soil fertility and yet aids in soil decom-
position by alienation of grass or cllyet
drops aud hoed crops. Under a contin.
uation of plough and tillage crops,
leaching, volatilization and washing of
fertility are more rapid and more Of it
may be and is carried away by crops, es-
pecially nitrogen. 8. Rotation of crops
distributes labor over the year and there
by economies it, gives regular help and
aids IN the solution of the labor problem
OF the farm. o. Rotation is the system
best calculated for home consumption of
crops and the return of the fertilization
of the farm. IL. Practice of 2COJ wears
confirms the value of rotation. Each
Of these factors has the bearing that can
not be here presented, but, all together
afford very strong and almost, If not
quite, imperative reasons for rotations.-

Farm and Garden Notes.

Remove the hot sweaty harness from
the horse at noon.
The best of breeding can be neutral
lied by poor feeding.
Paris green will certainly kill the
large green worm which eats the leaves
Breeding flocks of poultry should
consist of the best in the whole number.
When the sheep pastures begin to
grow scanty supplement them with
other food.
Mark or otherwise note the largest and
earliest maturing vegetables and save
them for seed.
Farms always sell most readily and at
the highest prices where roads are kept
in the best repair
The plantain can be killed by cutting
1t off at the crown, and putting on top
of the root drop or two of kerosene oil.
Distemper often leaves the house in an
unhealthy condition from the absorption
of impure matter the product of the dis
ease.
No money can be invested to better
advantage than in buying enough mos
quito netting to tack over the stable
windows to keep the flies out.
Wherever commercial fertilizers are
sown with the drill, the bulk of clover
and grass seed will he found in the rows
with the grain. 1t would be better for
both if they were little separated.
Since manures are the nourishing ma
terial of plants, and other things being
equal, the higher profit of the fed de.
pends only and alone on the greater and
eaSily'extrac ed quantity OF the same
found in the soil.
Chicks that refuse TO eat, throw the,r
heads back, tumble over on their backs,
and act as if they are bewitched gener-
ally, are probably troubled with large
chicken-lice that at first are found only
on the beads of the victims.
In the old worm fences tie top rail-
was most apt to be a heavy one, with tho
smaller rails at the bottom, so as to make
close barrier against pigs and othe,
small stock. This made the fence top
heavy, and it toppled over, Nowadays
the top rail is more apt to be a baTbed
wire than anything else.
american CuTicat0s reports that those
who have tried the method of seeding
their land to grass in August or Septcm
ber without sowing any grain with Tho
grass seed, have been pleased with tho
result if the land was in good condition,
that is, sufficiently we'll fertilized and
made fine enough for a seed bed.

Treatment for Ennnder.

In the first stages Of founder in horses
moderate doses of aconite should be
given, and the animals covered with
warm blankets, to cause or encourage
perspirUtion. But in advanced stages,
and when the feet have become tender,
pouticcs should be applied after remov-
ing the shoes. II the injury is but slight,
then turning out to pasture in summer
will usually effect cure, especially IL
the ground is low and somewhat moist.
The main thing is to remove the fever
from the feet, for as long as these are
tender and sore the horse will be lame.

Feeding Places for Chickens.

1t arouses my wrath to see the way
some folks feed their chickens after
the hen has weaned them They seen
to think that because tho old hen has
weaned them the chickens can take care
Of themselves and so take no more pains
to see that they have their food where
the older hens cannot rob them. The
feed is thrown down TO old and young
alike, and all alike scramble for it. but
the young chickens are crowded, hustled
about and pecked at so much by the
older fowls that they rarely, if ever, get
enough to satisfy their hunger. There
is no need of having such work. Make
some feeding racks aud feed the chickens
inside where the old fowls cannot get at
them. The racks are just frames of
scantling, with the top and four sides
covered with pastering lath, the lath on
the sides being far enough apart to al
low the chickens to get in easily, but not
to let the old fowls in.-Prairie Farmer.

The Coffee Hnryest.

Both banks of the Amazon River arc
friugcd with sugar and coilce plantation,
Of vast extent. The coffee trees ar,
naturally about twenty-five feet in
height. but in order to improve tn,
quality of their fruit are kept pruued tc
about six feet. The bush bears n snow,
white blossom of exquisite fragrance,
which after dropping is succeeded by a
small green button. This develops into
pink berry, VIII ch when ri c announces
it by becoming a deep purple. 1t is
then plucked, and after passing through
the processes of drying, husking. win
moving, summing and sorting becomes
the coffee of commerce. San FrdaciseC

Remedy for Wiro Norms-

There are two kinds of wire worms, so
called. One is a small round, hard worm
with only siA legs; this is the larva OF a
long narrow beetle, which has a habit of
jerking its body and making a swapping
noise, hence it is called the snapping
beetle or elater, because of its ierky
motion when it.suaps. This pest is not
so troublesome as the other which is not
an insect, but myriapod, or thousand
legs; it has legs at each ring of its long
thin body, and curls itself spirally when
at rest. This is an injurious pest, as 1t
eats the roots of grass, wheat, and other
plants. Either kind will eat slices of
patato or leaves of clover rolled into
balls. so that if these are poisoned with
Paris green the worms may be DESTROYED.
These pests are encouraged by leaving
ground uncultivated, but are starved out
by plowing the land aud leaving it
fallow for a few months. Strong.
smelling superphosphate will drive them
away.
