It may be thought that the material Of
which 4 sidewalk is constructed is OF no
importance SO long rs q sidewalk is shore.
This is a great mistake. The influence
that the surface of "a sidewalk has upon
tic case With which a pedestrian gets
about can My be realized by close obscr,
walton and experiment. Take a number
OF sidewalks, all slightly undulating. and
experiment. 1t VIII be found that q
polished stone sidewalk requires fully
one half more eXertion to travcrsc than
an equal distance Of granite pavement
does. a brick walk gives much less
fatigue, while the iron walk, cast with
little projections, is. by far, the easiest of
any to walk upon. My attention was
called to this while making n series OF
walking races with a man who invariably
passed INC in going home. Do what
could, | coald not keep pace with him on
the smooth stone. One night, however, !
CHANGED TO take 10 the iron walk that was
inside the stone, and to my surprise
found that | eXcelled him in speed, with
far less fatigue TO my limbs than when
being regularly distanced ON the same
ooting.-Pcdestri&n in Globe Democrat.

A Once Powerful Indian Tribe.

The Rev. Israel Mccoy, Baptist mis-.
sionary, who fnllowed the Miamis in
I'll their wanderings from 1915 to
1850, who performed the first Protest
ant Christian marriage ceremony north
of Terre Ilaute and founded a permanent
mission in the Indian territory, saw til,
tribe shrink to a few hundreds. In 1877
the writer Of this sketch, curious 10 see
the old Indians whose childhood, like his
own, was spent on the Wabash, hunted
up the Miamas in the Indian territory and
was told that they now numbered no more
than fifty families; their tribal organiza.
ton is merged and they are simply Cher
okee citizens. Their names are on our
bright streams and fertile p~lains-Sheno.
nee, Wean, Wabash, Racco0n creek (Pish.
ewahl Miami, Tippecanoe, etc.-but Of
all the ten thousand or more Indians who
once ranged the state, not five hundred
representatives remain. Victims Of the
white mans progress and their wi lack
Of adaptation, they are gone and forever.
The plow still turns up occasionally their
stone hatchcts and flint arrow heads; but
even the site Of We.aw-ta-no is in dis
pute, and Iippccanoe Is their only battle
ground that retains even d trace Of its
original wlduess Indiana Letter.

ADVANTAGES OF CLOVER.

Clover has a beneficial effect upon the
soil IN two ways, and is not only grown
cheaply, but it yields valuable crop for
mellows it, and this is beneficial by en-
couraging the natural nitrification of or
ganlc matter that may be inert in the
land. It produces a large quantity of
roots, which contain nitrogen in abund-
ance, and yields feeding crop which is
worth, for the nitrogen not used up by
the stock and left available in the man
ure, at least $40 per ton, as valued on the
basis Of the cost Of the nitrogen in artiti-
cial fertilizers. After crop of hay has
been taken for two years the second year
the aftermath yields enough seed to stock
the land for years when it is turned
under, and an amount of most useful
plano food equivalent to ten tons of the
best barn manure per acre. A fair yield
of aftermath, with the roots and debris
of the previous hay crops-not counting
the manure made by feeding two crops of
hay, which In all is estimated by the
noted expert Sir J. B. Lawes as equal to
more than $40 per ton Of hay fed-would
contain at least fifty or sixty pounds of
nitrogen per acre land at the most three
times as much), which is equal to sixty
one or seventy-three pounds of ammonia,
and Is worth at the market value of fer
tlllzers seventeen cents per pound. In
all, with the manure value Of the hay and
the fertilizing value of the roots and
aftermath turned under. each acre of
land under this crop gains in available
nitrogen about $50 pounds.-Neo York
Times.

DIGGING AND STORING POTATOES.

The early crop is often injured by de
lay IN digging. AS soon as the vines are
dead the potatoes should be dug and
stored. Every one Knows that potato
IN the spring when it has started to grow
and pushed it's sprouts becomes Of infc-
rior quality for the table; its starch be-
comes changed into sugar and other prin-
ciples which feed the growth Of the
leaves, and the tuber becomes soggv and
of poor quality. When the early potato
becomes ripened, the top or vines die
down and a long period of dry weather
completes the ripening and the tubers
should be dug and housed. If, after a
dry season, Il wet one follows, Il long
warm rain starts the tubers into growth
not a growth of stems and leaves, but a
kind of growth which often takes place
when potatoes are stored in too warm a
place, called 'supertuberatiOn. " In this
the material stored in the tuber for sus-
tanning the growth of the following year
is started and used for the formation of
new small tubers Most observing far
mers must have found in their potato-b bin
toward spring new potatoes produced
from the material of old tubers Pota-
toes should be dried off before they are
stored, and in doing this they should not
be exposed to the sun. The old farm
house cellar, which is being abandoned
as storehouse for potatoes and other
crops has an advantage as place for stor-
ing potatoes, as the odOr which attends
the destructive disease may be noticed at
its appearance and the affected potatoes
removed. Agriculturi8t.

PROTECTION THAT PAYS.

Mulching wheat fields in the fall after
seeding has been much experimental
with under our observation, and 1t is de
cided TO be eminently advisable. Fine
material, thinly and evenly spread, gener-
ally prevents winter killing, and 1t in
creases the crop over that which is Meth
er mulched nor affected by alternate
freezing and thawing. For this purpose
buckwheat and other chaff is excellent;
the partly rotted refuse of old stlck-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 il
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 muiching
should be done Immediately after seed
ing.-N6a0 York Tribune.
