wounded The Indians who are camped
near where this skirmish took place moved
west to creek near the agency. Owing

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
BALING Hay AND STRAW.

The importance of having hay and
straw baled for shipping long distances
is now we'll understood. But with the
improved baling machines operated by
steam power, there may often be all ad-
vantage in baling hay and straw for use
on the farm. In this compact form it
takes so little room that more is left un-
der cover for stock and for sheltering
farm implements, now often left out of
doors until the barn is sufficiently cleared
to give them room. For home use these
need not be SO expensive or close bind
ing, as the compress bound, however
slightly, would not come undone with
ordinary handling on the farm. Many
farmers who sell hay and straw put it up
in bales, and find advantage in it when
they have to draw it eight or ten miles.
They can easily double their loads, and
the bales can often be sold separately to
those not having money or room for a
full load.

Discipline in the Army.

Not long since an old soldier in a
Western garrison of regular troops was
ordered by sergeant to take load of
wood to the quarters of a private who for
months had been on the list of nom
availables because an officer had need OF
his services as a servant. The veteran
demurred and declared that the private
was able to cart his own wood. Threat
.ened with the guardhouse, he obeyed
the order and subsequently sent letter
of complaint to department headquar-
tiers.
Generals in command would rather
handle porcupine ungloved than case
Of this kind. They know that the COM
plants are strongly intrcnched in the
right, but if given the entering wedge Of
official sanction in single case the men
would not rest until seryitude for officers
were thing of the past.
The result is an evasion, shame on
the part of those who should speak
plainly and Enthusiastically as becomes q
soldier. In the case of the veteran
quoted above the Brigadier Generals
answer was: "Obey the order as promul-
gated by the commanding officer of your
post"
This was indeed pitiable, for all the
circles within the army know that no COM
manding officer would take upon himself
the onus of issuing orders of which his
superiors fight shy.
"You were ordered to do it and it was
your duty to obey" no line of demarka-
ton drawn between legal and illegal
commands, and nothing given him as q
standard for future action-this is the
satisfaction" soldier gets.
To disobey an order, even if certain of
illegality, would make him defendant
before a court martial instead of a plain
tiff at headquarters Chicago Tribune.

SOWING GRASS SEED IN THE SPRING.

One of the principal advantages in
seeding grass in the spring is that the
danger of winter killing is largely
avoided. While grass plants will stand
considerable freezing after they get we'll
established, they are easily killed when
Young and tender. Grass seed if of good
quality will remain in the soil for some
time without starting to grow when the
conditions of termination are unfavor-
able, and later on, under more favorable
conditions they will start up and make
good growth. To say which is the best
under all conditions is impossible. In
some localities fall seeding proves the
best, and in others spring seeding has
been found to be the best. Again even
in the same locality a difference in the
season will make considerable difference
in the termination of the seed and the
growth of the plants. If the seed is
sown in the fall the work should be done
sufficiently early to allow the plants an
opportunity to get we'll established be-
fore cold weather sets in, and if this from
unfavorable weather or other conditions
cannot be done the better plan is to de-
fer until spring.
So far as possible spring seeding should
be done early, for while occasionally late
sowing makes a good stand, taking one
year with another, the safest plan is to
make all the preparations possible ahead
and then SOW the seed early. In what
may be termed a reasonably favorable
season grass seed can often be sown in
February. Even if it does not germi-
nate at once, the seed will be in the
ground ready to germinate and start to
grow whenever the weather is sufficiently
favorable.
One of the best times to SOW grass seed
when the soil has been properly prepared
in advance is after light fall of snow.
Another good time is when there has
been slight freeze and the soil is thaw-
ing OUT, the weight of the seed will
usually be sufficient to buryit deep enough
to germinate. If for any reason the
seeding is delayed until late usually the
better plan will be to cover with har-
row or brush.
Grass and clover should be the first
crops seeded in the spring, and when it
can be done, advantage should be taken
of the first favorable opportunity for
doing the work.-Farm, Field and
!St0ckman.

A House of Historic Sorrow.

Superstition is not popular topic
with this material age, but there are
still plenty of people who bow to its
edicts, and there probably will be wor-
shippers at its shrine for many years to
come, in spite of the doctors of science.
Among dreaded superstitions comes the
banshee and his representations of
doom. The house with fated history
is stunned in many parts of the world.
When Mr.. Blaine leased the mansion
he now occupies on Lafayette place, in
Washington, many of the old timers
shook their heads. The old residence
has figured in many of the saddest trag-
edies at the capital. Originally built by
Commodore Rogers years ago, it was re-
garded as a splendid and roomy edifice
of the old style. 1t has had many and
varying fortunes in its day, but the
gloomy predominant. When Barton
Key was Shot by Sickles on the adjoining
corner he was removed to the Rogers
mansion, where he died. It was in this
same old house that desperate attempt
on the life of Secretary Seward was
made by the assassin Payne, who was
hanged. During the Seward occupancy
it was also visited by fire, from which
the family and several guests narrowly
escaped with their lives.
By a singular coincidence another
Secretary of State, after lapse of twen-
ty-fve years, has been called upon to face
a terrible visitation of woe in that same
old Rogers residence. Mr.. Blalne's IA
vorite son, the staff on which he leaned,
the prop of his declining years, passed
away but recently under its fatal roof,
and the family soon after was again
called to mourn beside the bier of favor
ite daughter.
Superstition should have feeble lodg-
ment in strong minds, but some weird
and sorrowful pail hangs over that Rog-
ers mansion.-Nep York Press.

I,eprosy in EurOpe.

We have no certain knowledge as to
the manner in which leprosy was con-
veyed into Europe, but there is evidence
to the effect that in the last century be-
fore Christ the disease had established
itself in the Roman Empire. Its sub
sequent spread throughout Europe can
easily be accounted for; wherever the
Roman eagles went the germs of the dis
ease would necessarily accompany them.
From this source Spain, France and Ger
many sooner or later became injected,
and although there are no records which
enable us to trace the progress of the
malady in Europe during several hun
dreds of years afterward, the steps that
were taken to check its spread in the
seventh and following centuries sutti-
GENTLY indicate the alarming frequency
of the disease and the virulent character
it had assumed.
Leper hospitals would appear to have
been established in Norway somewhat
later than in other European countries.
History tells us that in the Frankish
Kingdom these institutions were founded
in the eighth and ninth centuries; in
Ireland, about the year s69; in Spain, in
1907; in England, in the eleventh cen
tury; in Scotland and the Netherlands,
in the twelfth, ,and in Norway, in the thir-
teenth century. During and after the
Crusades leprosy spread with ex-
traordinary rapidity, and leper hospitals
were rapidly multiplied all over Europe.
It is estimated that in the twelfth century
there were 1000 such hospitals in France
alone and 10, 900 in the whole Christen-
dom. So terrible were the ravages OF
the disease that it seemed as though
some altogether new plague had been
sent to punish mankind. Indeed some
historians have asserted that the leprosy
of the middle ages was introduced for
the first time from the East by those who
returned from the Crusades. AS matter
of fact, however, leper hospitals existed
in England some years before any of the
Crusaders retraced their steps westward.
The Soldiers of the Cross doubtless
brought with them many cases of severe
leprosy, and an extremely virulent form
thus became engrafted upon the disease
already prevalent throughout Europe
