An Indian Doctor,

DIR. Carlos Montezuma, of Chicago,
who was recently given position at the
Indian boarding house at Fort Stephen
son, Dakota, has had very romantic life
and it illustrates the native ability of a
man of Indian race who, through the
greatest difficulties has won his way to
culture and standing. He was brought
to General Morgan, the Indian Commits
sioner's attention by Captain Pratt, of
Carlisle, and in response to letter, ask
ing him if he would take a place in the
Indian service, he modestly replied that
he did not wish to stand in the position
of an Office seeker. DR.. Montezuma is a
full blooded Apache, and all his near kin
were killed in battle when he was not
more than four years old. He was sold
for twenty-five dollars and carried to
Chicago by an Italian photographer, who
used him dressed in Indian costume,
with other curiosities to attract patrons.
He was employed in this way until nearly
fifteen years of age, when he attracted the
attention of Professor Selem II. Peabody,
of the University of Illinois, at Champaign.
The interest of the young men at the
university, especially those connected
with the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, was enlisted in behalf of the home
less boy, and they undertook to defray
the cost of his education. He spent two
years in preparatory school, four years in
college and afterward attended medical
school, from which he graduated few
years ago. He has built up good prac-
tice in Chicago, which he was in no haste
to surrender, but the proposition of Com
missioner Morgan that he go among his
own people and assist in elevating them
appealed so strongly to his sentiments
that he decided to accept it.-Boston

Hindoo Women.

On tho slopes Of the Himalayas, says
a correspondent Of the Denver Republican
in a letter from India, there are many
curious tribes. Some of the tribes neal
Darjeeling reckon a journey by the num-
Der of guilds of tobacco they chew upon
the way, and some Of the most gorgeous
specimens of Hindoo jewelry have seen
l saw on the women of the Himalayas.
remember one mountain pink who had
fifty rupees strung around her neck and
whose limbs were loaded down with sill
yer dollars upon her ears, and her mouth
was covered by fiat, gold nose ring.
Some of these Himalaya tribes have one
wife to four men, and polyandry is COM
mon. In Bombay are the prettiest
women of India. They are the parsees.
With delicate, olive-brown skins, they
are tall and well-shaped, have beautiful
eyes aud fine intellectual faces.
They dress in silks of the most delicate
colors, and the dress seems to consist of
one large piece of silk which is wound
around the waist and then carried up
over the body and the top of the head, so
that the face looks out and the whole
hangs in beautiful drapery. Many of
them, note, have silk stockings, and
slippers to match the color of their dresses,
and they are the brightest and pret-
tiest women i have ever seen.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A small amount of salt should occa-
sionally be allowed in the soft food,
should any be given.
Managed properly Guineas are ever
lasting layers, and their flesh is a unite

Sunfower seed properly used makes
admirable food for the hens. Mix it
with other grain and feed occasionally.
Everyone is studying up science. Sci
entifc farming is the rage. Wonder if a
little science in the training of boys
wouldn't be good thing. u
If you failed to put turnips, celery or
fodder corn on the ground from which
you took the early peas, do not fail to
keep the weeds from going to seed.

feed to last week. and water every few
days, as he thinks of it. This we call un-
wise.
Don't let earth or rubbish accumulate
around the sills of the barn or sheds; if
you do it will not be many years before

A farmer who needs two teams during
the season of busy work may find much
more profit in having yoke of oxen and a
span of horses than in four horses; a
question dependent on attending condi-
lions that he should examine carefully
with the purpose of deciding wisely.
Good racks for holding hay for cattle,
horses and sheep will save great deal
of money and hay over the wasteful plan
of feeding the hay on the ground or in
troughs where it can be pulled out and
trampled under foot. In feeding any
kind of food to any kind of stock, avoid
awasteful system.
The cry is for a hog with the old time
constitution. Well, we can't have him
till we go back to the old time methods,
and besides what do we want with him
anyway The hog of the present day has
sufficient constitution to carry him to the
pork barrel All the trouble is he is not
given a chance to take care of what nature
gives him. 1t is the keeping and feeding
that kills the hog OF the present day,
rather than poor constitution.

A subscriber of the Prairie Farmer asks
Tor directions how to build a silo. Mr..
B. S. Hoxie, a correspondent of that
paper, says:
'If the structure is to be detached
from the barn, make low foundation
wall, just high enough to prevent any
surface water from ever coming in con-
tact with the ensilage. Fill up the floor
to the level Of this wall, and finish of
with clay well pounded down, or
cement of water lime. Next lay your
sills of 2xS in. ioist, fat on the wall,
and bed them well in lime mortar; have
them so firm that there will be no chance
to spread or get out of place. On the
joists place 2xS in. studding 16 feet
long, as this is a proper height for the
silo, and 16 inches from center to
center Toe-nail firmly at the bottom Of
the sill. The object of placing the stud.
ding this distance apart is to accommo-
date the width of tarred paper; for per.
feet silo must be perfectly air tight on
sides and bottom. Now put good tarred
paper on the inside of the studs, tapping,
as it will, so as to make tight work; /;
cover with good, sound matched floor
ing, and see to it that the corners are
made secure, so that there will be no
spread, or give, to let in the air. En-.
close the outside surface with tarred
paper same as inside, and good drop-lap
siding, as it is called, or any similar
method, being careful to make it tight
and firm. The roof is made as any
ordinary barn roof, and the building may
be finished up on the outside to suit the
owners fancy or pocket.
A very good size for a silo would be
16x32 feet, or if more room is needed,
make it longer and put in a cross parti-
tion of plank. This partition should be
made so it will slip down into place and
be held by cleats at its ends. The sides
must be secured with one or more iron
rods to keep the building from spread
ing. A convenient size for door would
he four feet wide, in one end, and made
in sections of two feet each, sliding
down in grooves SO as to come out from
the inside as the silo is emptied. These
doors, as well as all inside work, must be
made so as to form no obstruction to the
settling of the fodder and boards and
tarred paper which are to form the cover
to the pit. This is one of the cheapest
methods of construction, and is essential
ly as good a one as can be built. If a
farmer has stones handy, he can build one
of solid masonry, but it would not keep
out frost or air better than one of wood
One end of a bay in the barn can be used,
by observing the same precautions to
have it air tight

pECENTLY DRESSED.

A well-dressed farmer called on busi-
ness at the boarding place of my son in
town, says a farmer, in the New York
Tribune, and, after leaving, the gentle
man of the house was told by my son
that the caller was a farmer, when he ex-
claimed, 'He's no farmer!n OF this
farmer l once heard the remark that che
always looked as though he had Just come
out of band box" Now, l happen to
know that this dress was inexpensive,
and devoid of foppery or show; only
plain, neat and clean, and he always
wore a collar and necktie when visiting
or on business. Evidently there is room
for improvement in the appearance of
farmers when abroad, or notice would
not have been taken when one appeared
neat and tidy, with collar, etc. Farmers
who read this can refer to their own OBJ
servation whether the appearance of
themselves and neighbors is all that it
should be at home.
If the children of some fathers and
mothers are a little ashamed of their
parents uncouth dress, unkempt hair
and general slouchy habit, they do not
deserve to be very highly censured.
Why should a farmer be stoop-shoul-
dered or Of rolling or shuffiing gaitl His
work is no harder than that of many a
townsman, who carries his head erect,
with a straight form, and walks with
something of the martial air, as though
the equal of other men. 'Nothing
which can be won by work in this world, -
says the New York Witness, scan make
amends for shortened and enfeebled
lives" indorse this, and contend that
we should keep our forms erect, walk as
squarely as other men, dress respectfully
and becomingly both at home and abroad
for our children's sake, as well as our
own, and dignity, as we may, the most
useful and honorable calling in the
world.

A Crazy Horse.

A farmer in LaPorte County, Ind, ., has
horse that is crazy. The animal is not
vicious or ugly, but is simply insane,
When given hay it will grab mouthful
and hold it in his mouth for half an hour,
and in the mean time swing around in a
circle, throw one foot out, as if dancing,
and cut up all sorts of silly capers. When
let out of the barn it will walk off short
distance and then gallop back at ter
rife rate of speed. If the door is open
1t will go in, but if shut the animal will
dash against it without knowing that an
obstruction is in its way. If hitched up
it will start and run straight ahead, and
can neither be turned nor stopped until
it becomes completely exhausted. The
insanity has only lately appeared. The
case is very strange one and the first of
the kind ever heard of in that locality

PROTECTION THAT PAYS.

Mulcbing wheat fields in the fall after
seeding has been much experimental
with under our observation, and it is de-
cided TO be eminently advisable. Fine
material, thinly and evenly spread ,gener-
ally prevents winter-killing, and it in
creases the crop over that which is neith-
er mulched nor affected by alternate
freezing and thawing. For this purpose
buckwheat and other chaff is excellent /;
the partly rotted refuse of old stack k-bot-
toms, and any short litter raked up about
the barns and sheds, and short clover and
buckwheat straw answer well. Long
straw may be better than nothing II
thinly spread, but that is difficult mat.
ter. A person tried it, put on too much,
and the wheat came up spindling and the
crop was poor. Long straw chaffed by
running it through a cutter would be ex.
cellent. 1t is suggested that forest
leaves, especially if partly rotted, would
be as good as anything. The mulching
should be done Immediately after seed.

CuriOsties Of Figures.

A problem, that at glance seems
enough to tempt many a school-boy to
lpend a portion of his evenings in an en-
deavor to solve it, appeared recently in a
Maine Journal and is as follows: Take
the number 10. Multiply it by itself, and
then multiply that product by itself, and
you have 225. Now multiply 225 by itself,
and so on until fifteen products have been
multiplied by themselves in turn. The
question aroused considerable interest
among lawyers in Portland and their
best mathematician, after struggling with
the problem long enough to see how
much labor was entailed on the solution,
made the following discouraging report
upon it: "The final product called for
contains 80, 539 figures, the first of which
are 1442. Allowing three figures to an
inch, the answer would be over 1910
feet long. To perform the operation
would require about 500, 900, 600 figures.
If they can be made at the rate Of 100
a minute, a person working ten hours a
day for 800 days in each year would be
twenty-eight years about it. If, in null
tiplying, he should make a row of
eiphers, as he does in other figures, the
number of figures would be more than
b23, ,939, ,22S. This would be the pre-
else number of figures used if the product
of the left-hand figure in each multiple
cand, by each figure Of the multplier
was always single figure; but, as it is
most frequently, and yet not always, two
figures, the method employed to obtain
the foregoing result cannot be accurately
applied. Assuming that the cipher is
used on an average once in ten times,
AIS, 900, 600, 900 approximAtes the actual
number.
