Rearing Peacocks.

There are pleasant old farmhouses
where for generations brilliant birds
with long trains parade in and out among
the trees on the lawn, and screech in the
most atrocious manner whenever-such
is the belief-rain is approaching. The
farm people here, with an eye to the
beautiful, real peacocks just for their
gorgeous feathers.
There is no profit in these birds be-
You'd their splendid tail feathers, which
may sometimes be sold to fanciers for
brushes and fans, yet the creatures are
handsome enough to need no excuse for
their rearing. In the days of the Roman
emperors no great feast was perfect with
out it's dish of peacocks' brains and
tongues. Then there was profit in this
kind of poultry raising, even though
there were no i%ncubators. But now we
vote the flesh dry and tough and not fit
to eat, and as to the brains and tongues,
they would be as d~istasteful as the
worms and snails some half civilized peo-
pies are fond of. Yet the old Romans
were a great nation.

Captain Ewers Says III Cattle Men, and
Not the Indians, Are to he Feared.
CHICAGO, May 25.-Captain E. P. Ew-
ers, Indian agent at Tongue river, ar
rived in the city to-day, and had an in
tervie~ with General Miles over the sit
uation among the Indians that took part
in the late Indian war. Captain Ewers
has just completed a tour Of the Indian
camps within a radius of 200 miles of
Tongue River agency. He said the peo-
pie now to be feared were not Indians,
but cattlemen, who want all the land
they can grab for their cattle to roam
over, and will not allow anyone else to
establish themselves. Cattlemen, the
captain said, we're people who stirred up
the Indians by stealing their lands and
taking advantage of them in every way,
and the Indians were complaining Bit
terly of the encroachments of these
marauders.

A BOYS THOUSAND DOLLARS.
How lie Earned It While He Was As
tending School.

How lie Earned It While He Was As
tending School,.
Although we have spoken several times
recently on the subject of poultry rails
ing by the young folks, we cannot re-
frain from telling the boys and girls
what a gentleman in this city told us
not long since about his boy. This &C
count was such an apt illustration of
what we had recently e%ndeavored to
impress ON our readers that we will give
it to them.
At the age of ten years this boy began
keeping poultry. Hls father built him a
fowl house, for which nothing was ever
paid by the son, but this was the only
expense which was not borne by the
young fancier himself. He kept White
Leghorns, and his spare time out of
school hours was devored to caring for
and enjoying his flock. He worked at
the business and it was good for him. It
taught him regularity and involved re-
sponsi Utilities in seeing that his pets did
not suffer.
When he reached the age of twenty he
went into his fathers Office. His bank
book at that time showed a balance in
his favor of 1000, cleared from his
poultry while he attended school. Those
that think it mot worth the trouble"
may ponder this result with edifcation
to themselves.
That one thousand dollars was worth
more than one hundred thousand cents
to the lad. It represented moro than
money. 1t was the material evidence of
much that could not be expressed in
dimes and dollars. To begin with, it as

pendence was inculcated; a sense of be
ing of some Importance and the means
of doing for himself were accompanying
features. All these are worth much,
and many a worried father and dis
tracted mother who wish hat the boys
had something to do THAT they liked to
doand amounted to something" would do
well to follow the course adopted by this
father .-Poultry World.

Profit in Sheen.

-Four years ago a Sargent county
farmer bought IL ewes at 81 each. The
first year he sold wool to the amount of
SIS, the second $27, the third $65 and the
fourth $106. The second year he added
to his income by disposing of sheep to
the value of $3.50, the third $50 and the
fourth S2S. At the present time his
flock numbers 131, which he very reason
ably believes is worth at least $3.50.
The Lloyds, of the Alliance Mortgage
company, sold 200 sheep to a farmer liv-
ing near jamestown. From the sale of
wool and sheep the farmer paid 5000 on
the purchase price inside of a year, and
now has 24O head of superior animals
