The Flat Headed Indians.

The custom Of flattening the heads by
pressure was about universal among the
Puget Sound Indians. 1t was done In in
fancy with a hat made of cedar bark,
beaten, pressed steadily IN the forehead.
1t has been 81 often described by numer-
u writers that no further description is
here necessary. School teachers here have
been unable to see any difference between
the intellect of those whose heads have
thus been tlattencd and those which are
natural. Some Of the Indians, however,
believe that it has caused numerous head
aches among them in after life. Very few
infants are thus treated now. American

from non-partisan point of view, of
the great principles of free government,
with special reference to the interest
therein of the food-producers of the
nation. We believe that no class of
our people need more to inform them
selves on such questions than the farm
ers. In them is involved the great
question whether freehold farming
shall maintain itself as the distinctively
American system, or be gradually and
insidiously replaced, as it has been in
England, by landlordism and tenant
farming. Already, in those parts of our
country where agricultural land has
reached high values, the tenant system
is increasing. So long as our land in
Vermont remains low in price, we
are comparatively safe from this evil;
but it is going to be poor lookout and
sorry boon for our successors if we, by
our exertions, shall put agriculture in
our state upon a sound and paying
basis only to bring in landlordism as a
consequence. We must be vigilant.
We must feel our responsibilities, and
grapple with every one of them like
resolute lovers of liberty, such as were
the pioneers of Vermont.

THE ANIMAL ODOR.-" where,
tell us where" has the animal odor in
milk, which we used to hear so much
about, and upon which the late Mr..
Arnold was wont to discourse so learn
eddy and lengthily upon, gone? Have
our cows ceased to secrete this peculiar
substance from their udder, or are the
stables kept cleaner, and is the milking
more neatly done?
MATURE FEED BEsT.-It is more
and more fully demonstrated every
year that the more nearly mature any
forage crop becomes, the more nutri-
tive substance it contains; and this
should greatly influence the course of
the farmer in growing them. To gain
rich maturity corn, especially, should
not be too late, nor too thickly planted,
and it should have well-prepared land
with thorough cultivation.
FROM the middle of June to the mid
die of July is the time to SOW Hun
garian grass. 1t is of no use to SOW
it earlier. 1t is closely related to our
native "pigeon grass" and like it the
seed requires about as high tempera-
ture to terminate and grow well as
squashes or melons. Good and thor
oughly clean land should be chosen for
this crop. Use one-half a bushel of
seed and cover it with light smooth
ing harrow.
CUCUMBERs AS FoOD. Some foolish
superstitions are kept up simply by con-
slant repetition, in the face of contrary
experience. Two of them are the talk
about the EMBELLISHMENTS of cucum-
bers and watermelons, for which there
was never the least foundation. There
are people who can not eat beans or
cabbage, or even strawberries, and
some can touch neither milk nor
honey-the choice food of Biblical
times. That is no reason why they are
not wholesome for people in general;
and the same is true of the two sum-
mer vegetables named. They are eX-
actly suited to the hot season, but
should not be consumed with senseless
greediness.
YELLED ADvERTIsING.-Too many
of our agricultural contemporaries seem
to be either paid for or duped into print
ing a vast amount of advertising, which
appears IN the innocent garb of con-
tributed matter. This is, in our judg-
ment, wholly illegitimate, and can not
long be INDUCED in without being re-
scented by intelligent readers. The
latest example is seen in "One Hun
dred Hints on Dairying" (by that vet
eran drummer, T. d. Curtis, who used
to haunt our dairymen's meetings
under the Bliss regime with his re-
sounding tamborine), which appears in
the Mirror and Farmer. In the first
installment it seemed quite innocent,
though rather supertluous and anti
quated, but in the second, like Sarsa-
parilla Hoods grinning girl, the visage
of " Higgins Eureka Salt " broke
through the paper at various spots, and
revealed the true inwardness of the
matter. In the old days it was Onon-
daga Factory Filled y" that was the salt
all dairymen-should use.

opinion among root-growing farmers
that the old "Giant Long Red " Man
gold is about the most worthless of all
beets, and that Lanes Sugar Beet is
the best. Chalk long mark for Yer
mont there! The analyses show that
every ton of beets grown took out of
the soil fertilizing ingredients supplied
in manure to the amount of from
ninety-four to one hundred sixty-two
cents-the first being by the Long Re d
Mangold, the last by the Early Egyptian
garden beet. Generally speaking, this
extraction of fertility is in proportion
to feeding value-that is, the best feed
draws the hardest on the soil. This is
good reason why well-enriched farm
pays the best. Without rich land we
get no large crops of rich food. Three
varieties of turnips were also analysed,
showing but a moderate difference;
Skirving's Purple Top Rutabaga being
a little ahead in quality. The field ex-
periments with root crops, both beets
and turnips, showed far the best results
from deep and thorough tillage and
frequent cultivation. 1t was also found
that roots thrive best with the free use
of phosphates upon land MANFRED
literally the preceding season with
stable manure. Grown thus, they ma
ture early, and are of better quality
than when planted on freshly-dunged
land This is true both of beets and
turnips. The preceding crop had
better not be roots of any sort, as alter
nation is particularly essential for roots.
Following these are analyses of some
feeds not specially important to Yer
monters; but two analyses, one of rowen,
with good deal of clover, and one of
wheat bran, are interesting, as showing
how much ton of each drew from the
soil of fertilizing elements, reckoning
them at the rate paid for the same in
commercial fertilizers. The dry rowen
contained 1893 per cent of nitrogen,
2.S6 per cent of potash, and SO per
cent of phosphoric acid-a total value
of 1924 for the fertilizing elements in
1000 pounds of dry rowen. The bran
contained, per ton, 2.43 per cent of nj
trogen, 267 per cent of phosphoric
acid, and 1.51 per cent of potash
together worth, at above-named rates,
$3.50. This is instructive, as regards
the high rates we pay for plant food in
our manufactured fertilizers, and ought
to set farmers to thinking whether there
are not cheaper ways of enriching their
land than by the purchase of acid fer
! tilizers.
