The Rev. Sheldon Jackson, D. D., we'll but unfavorably known in Arizo- ma and New Mexico, now United States General Agent of Education Tn Alaska, says that Miss Willard, one of the mission teachers, reports to the investigating committee, by letter, asking protection for Indian girls who are sold by their parents to white men for immoral purposes. She al- leges:
 "The custom of the natives is to buy their wives. Since the white miner has come this customs has been ex- tended to sales or leases to white men, and girls are such source of income that their parents will not allow them to go to the mission scools,
 'The courts sustain the right of parents to control their children, and girls who beg to be let into school can not be taken without their parents consent.
 "The letter specifies an instance oi girl who was being saved for white man who had offered S250 for her when she was better grown. Native husbands and wives have adopted young children and raised them for the position of second husband or wife when the first dies.
 "In this way boys of 15 or Is become husbands of crippled old women, and young girls become the wives and ire quently the plural wives of old men The letter declares that scores of peo. pie are murdered as witches under Alaskan superstition.
 Jackson attests the truth of Miss Willard's statement. but who wllI voach for Jackson? Certainly no one who remember his islanders of wives and adult daughters of Arizona anc New Mexico He made no exception but punched them and gave all black eve

While the breaking of the Walnut Grove dam was a most deplorable dis aster, it is safe to conclude that it will not deter capital from investing Tn similar enterprises in Arzona. It will, however, induce those who en- gage in the construction of such works, for the safety of their invest. ment as well as for the protection oi human life, to exercise the closest scrutiny of the work, both in design and construction.
 The late disaster, too, emphasizes the absolute necessity of government inspection of dams fer the retention of large bodies of water, and the im- position of heavy penalty for culpa- ble neglect or incompetency of those in charge of such works.

The inyestigatisn of the Ciy

The investigation of the Civil Ser vice Commission, now going on ID Washington, is attracting conSidera- ble attention because of the severe ac. cusationS of part,sanism made against the commissioners, which, however, as yet, remain improved, The Butter worth charge is that the party in power manages to capture the ap- pointments about as completely as under the spollS system, but by a roundabout method. The examlna- tion of witnesses up to this time has been directed to the acts of the Con- misaouers w,th view of showing whether they are worthy of thei posi-. tions From this time forward the system itself will be on trial Ex- Postmaster General Hatton's latest charge is that Civil Service Commis, sioners Roosevelt and Thompson were privy to Wm.

A late Washington, D. C., dispatch

A late Washington, D. C., dispatch makes brief mention of decision rem dered by tho Secretary of the Interior denying the request of the MesiIla Valley Canal Company. of New Mex ico, to continue tho construction of their irrigatng canal across the Fort Selden military reservation. The dis patch further states that the question was raised whether under the lrriga- ticn Act of October ?, 1888, canals and ditches can lawfully be constructed across pubic lands, and while the grounds of the Secretary's decision are not clearly stated, the inference is that the refusal to grant the company license to proceed Is based upon tbat clause of the Irrigation Act reServing all sites for reservoirs, dltehes and canals, and lands susceptible of irriga- tion, from entry, sale or occupation.
 If thls is the meaning of the dis patch, then the Secretary lnterpreta- ton of the clause referred to is in exact accord with the view expressed by the BELT, immediately after the passage of the Irrigation Act, when we pointed out that the law, by reason of the withdrawal of lands from entry and occupation, would prove hindranne rather than an ad- vantage to the arid West If under the law of October 2, 1888, the con. struction eff irrigation works on or across public lands is prohibited, then the serious aspect of the case is at once apparent, as the further reclama. ton of the desert to the purposes of agriculture is suspended until the ob- iectionable clause Of the act referred 10 is repealed And this is a proper sub ject of investigation for our delegate in Congress.

THE HORSES ENEMY.

Worms And How to Remove Them
Some Good Hints.
Of all enemies of the horse, worms APP
pear to be the most frequent and formid-
able. The most favorable condition for
their increase and injury to the animal
is where the mucous membrane of the
horses intestines is in morbid condi-
ton. This must be corrected before
any permanent advantage can be de-
rived from treatment of worms. Many
preparations eHpel worms, but this
physical imperfection continued, more
of these pests will soon be developed
and the animals condition worse than
before.
With view to correcting the I'M
healthy condition above alluded to, see
that tho animals teeth are in good
order, attending in tho colts case
especially to the unshed crowns of the
grinders. Place salt where it NAV
be had when wanted by the ami
NAL, feed only good sound oats, hay
and roots, and let exercise and grooming
be regularly attended to. Begin internal
treatment by giving purgative dose
of raw linseed oil-say one uuart-be-
fore breakfast, bran mash having been
given the night before. After the oil
had ceased acting, begin giving pow
der containing dried sulphate of iron
two drains, powdered barbados aloes
one-half scruple, powdered gentian four
drains; this powder to be mixed with
the feed and its use continued until the
animal is in satisfactory condition.
If the powder induces constipation, it
must be corrected by feeding mashes,
roots or other laxative food.
After continuing the foregoing treat
ment for few weeks, it may be well to
give hal f-ounce or an ounce of pow
dered santonine. This should be given
mixed with pint of linseed oil, and be-
fore breakfast. With an occasional
repetition of the santonine- the tonic
powders being continued, cure is but
matter of time. Indeed, the santonine
treatment may be dispensed with alto
gether, as when the horse is put in a
healthy condition.-Farm and Home.

tongue is fastened solidly, and a seat
for the driver, and is used for variety
of purposes.
Fig. shows the structure of a silage
cart. 1t is about sixteen or eighteen
feet long; the axle-tree is six feet long,
and on the under side are bolted, close
to the wheels, two strong bed-pieces,
approaching each other to a distance of
perhaps a foot apart at the front end.
Boards are nailed across these, each
alternate one coming out flush with the
bed-pieces, the others projecting some
distance. A ladder behind, to hold the
load in place, completes the rack. Two
small broad tired wheels are used.
When needed for use, sthe narrow end
of the rack is chained under the tow
cart, which has high wheels, giving the
appearance of wagon with the front
and hind wheels changed about. The
rack is but foot above the ground, and
the alternate short boards allow per-
son to walk close to the center of the
load to deposit his armful of corn or
other fodder. This renders the hand
ling of heavy silage corn comparative
ly easy matter. In unloading, the
wagon is driven alongside the cutter,
and the unloading is easily ac-
complished. There are many purposes

for which such a wagon might be used

which can be loaded on high wagon
only with difficulty. The whole rig
can be constructed by any one having
ordinary mechanical ingenuity. The
MesSrs. Hicks have large silo built of
brick in the form of a round cistern
sixteen feet deep, but they do not use it,
as the milkman to whom they sell their
milk refuses to purchase it if they feed

Fig. represents cart for spreading
liquid manure, not such one as is now
in use, but more like one that would be
made were another required. The one
now in use consists of three casks of the
size of ordinary oil barrels, but pre-
ferable device like the one illustrated,
consists of only one holding from $50 to
200 gallons. AS shown, the cask is
mounted on a framework of sufficient
strength to sustain the weight, this be-
ing supported by an axle-tree end
wheels far enough apart to allow the
cask to rest between them. The c3sk
has an opening at the top mot shown
in the cut for pumping the liquid in,
and at the bottom an opening closed
with valve controlled by the driver,
which allows the liquid to escape into
a pipe ian ordinary pump-log was
used) which conducts it to V-shaped
trough, perforated with numerous
small holes, through which it IS spread
as the cart is driven over the field.
Here the tow-cart is again brought
into use, the manure-sprinkler being
chained to the under side of the axle
tree in manner similar to the silage
cart. The liquid manure is collected in
a large cistern to which it is conducted
