bill FILED la the circuit Court TO Have
Them Elected.
TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. l5 The United
States District Attorney OF Kansas, un-
der instructions from Attorney-GenerGl
Miller, has just fled bill in equity in
the Circuit Court OF the United States
at Topeka, on behalf OF the Black Bob
band OF Shawnee Indians and against
the settlers who have squatted on the
Black Bob reservation in Johnson
County and the spectators who hold
unapproved deeds from the Indians.
The bill alleges that the deeds Of tho
speculators were obtained by fraud and
demands that they bo cancelled The
bill prays that the settlers be elected
and that they be held to account to the
Indians for the rents and proats Of tho
land for the last twenty years. This
suit involves about 80, 900 acres Of the
best land in johnson County, which
have been occupied by squatters ever
since the Indians we're driven of by
Quantrell and his men in 1862
The settlers have absolutely no title
save the possession, which they have
been we'll satisfied to enjoy without any
liability to pay taxes Great excite
ment prevails among the people on the
reservation over the prospects Of being
elected, losing the Improvements which
they have placed there, and being
mulcted for rents and profits besides.
They have employed attorneys, and
viii make a bitter fight The specula-
tors who hold unapproved deeds have
never been in possession, having been
kept out by the squatters. Might has
been right on tine reservation for long
time, and for years 1t has furnished the
courts Of johnson County the largest
proportion OF their criminal business.
The local attorney appointed by Attor-
ney y-General Miller to look after the in-S
terests OF the Indians says that every
prayer of the bill will be insisted upon.

THE CULTURE OF CELERY.

Make a level bed on rich, mellow
soil, fined down by thorough raking.
Have the rows eight or nine inches
apart. Sow the seed rather thinly. After
sowing, pat the bed down with a spade
or shovel. This will be enough to
cover the seed. Just as soon as the seed
has sprouted enough to reveal the rows,
commence to hoe lightly between the
rows, and begin to pull out the weeds as
soon as they can be seen. AS the plants
advance in growth, shear off the tops
This ought to be done at least twice be-
lore the time for setting out This in
duces stocky growth. The time for
setting out in the Northern States NAV
run from the middle of June to the end
Of July, and in the Southern from the
middle of August to the close Of Septem-
Der. In the latitude of Chicago, July is
a good month in which to do the trans
planting. Celery requires cool, moist
atmosphere to do its best. Unless it is
made a special crop it is always grown as
second crop after peas, early beets or
onions. Where the land is in the
condition it should be for these
crops, no manure need be added.
After the ground. has been nicely
prepared, stake out lines on the level
surface three feet apart and set the
plants SIN inches apart in the rows. If
the weather is dry at the time special
pains must be taken that the roots are
property tirmed. After the plants are
set ont nothing else need be done for six
or eight weeks except to run the cultlva-
tor down the rows often enough to keep
down weeds, and to use the hoe often
enough between the plants to produce
the same effect. That is, set out your
plants and keep them clean for six or
eight weeks. About this time it will do
to earth up the plants that they may be
bleached or whitened In doing this
care must be used not to get the dirt
among the leaves, gather the tops to-
gether and hold them SO, while the dirt
Is drawn to them by the other hand.
The dirt may be got near the plants by
the hoe before beginning the operation.
Many growers now bleach celery by
using small tile placed over the plants.
When wished for winter use celery may
be left out of doors till quite severe
freezing weather, as moderate freezing
does not injure it. 1t may be stored for
winter use in dry earth in boxes or in
cellars if raised in large quantities.
To ship to market, trim off the roots,
then tie in punches about four inches in
diameter and pack in light boxes. Farm,

WIRE WORMS AND CUT WORMS.

The common species of the cut-worm
sewers the stalks Of the young corn either
above or just underneath the surface of
the ground; consequently, anything APP
Piled to the seed or put in the hill at the
time of planting would not in any way
interfere with the ravages of this pest
In England these worms are called sur
tacc-worms," because they work on or
near the surface, and always at night
hiding during the day near the plants
they have been feeding upon. If hunted
early In the morning they may be readily
found and killed. The different species
OF the wire-wOrm work Oh the young
sprouting corn and roots, and if the
seed is we'll tarred before planting, the
worms are not likely to trouble it. A
half pint of warm pine-tar stirred into
bushel Of corn until every kernel is
lightly coated with it, will not only pre-
vent the crows from pulling it up but
also check the work of the wire-worm
Wire-worms may be trapped with pieces
Of raw potatoes placed near the hills and
lightly covered with Standardization

Will not be costly. It's first use will be
70 clean of the stone and get rid of all
the gum. When the stone is ready for
use, the glycerine is always TO be en-
ployed instead of oil on the stone This
improves the cutting. The glycerine
does not dry up. Even though the
stone be laid away for months. there will
be no hard dirt or gum on the surface.
If dusty, it can be washed of with water
Another advantage is that the glvcerine
may be used with either oil or water If
1t IS lacking, water can be used for a
time without harm. Nor will its use
prevent return to glycerine or oil if it
Is ever necessary to use the latter.
For the grindstone, it is time to aban-
don the water-trOugh. Where the stone
stands in the water it becomes soft, while
the dry side retains its natural hardness.
After little, this results in its getting
''out of round and then it is almost
impossible to do any satisfactory work.
The trough itself is & receptacle for dirt
and the mud from the stone The water
when grinding is nasty and decided nuis-
sance. Discard the trough. Put bracket
OF shelf up over the stone, and upon it
mount a can with hole in one side at the
bottom. A pine stick in the hole will regu-
late the flow Of water, and then the grind
ing can be done with that luxury, Just
water enough and no more. The water
IS clean, and comes exactly on the right
spot. When the work is finished, the
can is emptied and the stone IS safe.
Turning the can upside down saves it
from becoming dirt-trap, and it is ready
for business in moment.
Almost all grindstones in the country
are little out of true. This is taken to
be something that cannot be helped, al
though nearly every one has a tradition
that stone may be made true by 'Egrind-
ing it with nail rod" Rods cost money
and do not grind very we'll So the
stone is never rounded up. Get a piece
of inch gas or steampipe. Fix a good
rest across the face Of the stone, parallel
with the axle, and use the end of the gas
pipe as tool. Traverse the tool from
side to side with a rolling motion. If
this is done as soon as the stone shows
any signs of ''wabbling" the task of keep
ing it true is not difficult one. The
only precaution needed is to have strong
man at the grindstOne crank. II one is
fortunately provided with power, the
task is of course easy. 1t ought to turn
with as little tremble of the edge as

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

/
/ The cheapest food may not be the most
healthy to feed.
Systematic selling is as necessary as
! good production.
! Did you ever see Il hog that did not
relish good, sweet slop? Why then feed
! sour swill?
Don't keep matches lying round the
barn loose, better have them in an iron
or tin box.
Next week is when you want to take
care of the brood mare that is soon to
foal. Don't overwork her.
1t does not pay to have colts come be-
fore the rough weather of spring is over,
and then not take care Of them.
Some people think a farm animal is
like postage-stamp--no good until
licked. They are sadly mistaken.
The wood with which your silo is built
can be preserved with gas tar and gaso-
line paint; this is cheap and efficient.
The hog is probably the most conven-
lent and profitable adjunct to the dairy.
But he should not be too close an adjunct.
Set out the fruit trees and plant as ear
ly in the spring as the soil Can be worked
into good condition and your other
work on the farm will permit.
When a number of calves are kept in
the same pen it will be conducive to the
comfort and profit of all concerned if
stanchions are provided, and pail for
each calf.
A bit Of fine hay placed in sight of the
calf will tempt it to eat that rather than
the bedding. After drinking its milk
little meal or few oats put in the pail
will soon teach it to eat.
Usually cherries and plums should be
grated first in the spring; the sc;ons
should be cut at the first opportunity, if
it is not already done. Set the root
CRAFTS out as soon as possible.
Beets, onions and other root crops are
improved by carefully selecting such roots
for seed as we wish to grow, and doing
this for several consecutive years will fix
the type so that the roots will come true.
Cutting of currants and gooseberries
should be made and set out as soon as
possible. With little care in selecting
good, vigorous shoots, this is one of the
quickest and easiest ways of propogat-
ing.
A very good plan for setting out
small plants of any kind is 20 run out
straight burrows the proper distance
apart, running twice in each furrow if
necessary to secure the proper depth and
width.
Ice is by no means necessary in making
gilt-edge butter. AT least three-fourths
of the best butter in the United States is
made without ice. Pure cold water only
is used. Yet ice is very desirable, when
it can be obtained at moderate cost.
Old nurserymen do not plant blocks of
apple trees after crop of such trees has
recently been taken from the field. They
give the land a rest. Do not plant straw
berries on old strawberry ground, nor
raspberries after raspberries, etc. A
change is desirable.
