Conrtship of the Sioux.

The Sioux method of courtship land !

blanket tribes) instiIs in love lorn In
dian the virtue of patience, If nothing
more. When young Sioux warrior
seeks sweetheart he paints his face in
many colors and envelops himself so COM
pletelv in blanket that nothing of him
but his eyes are visible. Arrayed in this
attire, the young man takes his position
where the shy maidens of his tribe are
sure to pass him. He may stand there
half an hour before he receives any en-
couragement, and then again he may have
to wait there for a whole week. But he
never despairs. The girls know why he
wears that cloak and why he peers at
them from beneath its folds. Usually
there are from two to five squaw hunters
together. If one OF them is noticed
favorably by young girl he Immediately
joins her and begins to make the most
ardent love. If, after his story has been
told, the girl rejects him the next young
Indian leaves the party, and tries his
hand. Thus the lovers follow one an
other until the girl finds promising H.
dian who has either done some great deed
or who is rich enough in ponies Or steers
to reimburse the father for the loss of his
cnlld or who is in position to earn some
sort OF fame in war or in peace. The

Whatever may be said ABOUT some OF the
barbarous practices and the uncleauliness
Of the Sioux and Cheyenne women it is
nevertheless fact that they are with

have married white men they have proved
to be economical wives and good mothers.

How to Kill q Turtle.

A big turtle afforded the usual amuse-
ment for men and boys in front of q
Madison street restaurant. An on.
locker raised up his voice and said he
would bet dollar that no one in the
crowd could tell the process by which a
turtle is killed. Whether no one knew,
or whether the crowd had been caught
in the Barring Brothers whirl, is not
known, but the bet remained open. The
man lowered it to half, and it still
renamed con the table" After
he had departed another man, a
little fellow without any overcoat
or shirt collar, said: 'If | had
had any stuff would have taken that
bet. | am professional turtle killer.
The business Is a profession, and isn't
picked up in a day. Now will explain
to you gentlemen how to kill turtle.
know none of you could do it after
tell you, but want to show you chat the
duffer who bluffed the crowd doesn't
know it all. See' Now pay attention.
First persuade your turtle to stick
out his head, and when he does you cut
his throat, If he gets obstinate and re-
fuses to stick out his head, it may be
necessary to grab the head with pair of
strong nippers, and hold the lead be-
tween them until the throat is cut.
Then you cut the muscles that connect
the body with the she'll, and leave the
turtle to die. Now, how many of you
can tell me how long that will take2
None. OF course not. You don't
know. Well, about twenty four hours.
There is good deal of the human
about turtle. 1t likes to hang on, the
turtle does. II | had had the stuff, I
could have won that bet" A philan.
thropic man in the crowd, who said he
was fond of turtle soup, tipped the man

LOSS OF LIQUID MANURE.

On hardly one farm in ten is any pro /,
vision made for saving this valuable
fertilizer, which is nearly equal III value
to the solid portion. 1t is usually allowed
to run down through cracks in the foor =
or auger holes made for the purpose,
and soak into the ground below. If a
man should have fifty cents stolen from
every dollar that he receives, he wou' q
think himself severely victimized. Think
of a man boring auger holes in the
bottom of his cash boxl And yet he
virtually does the same thing in his
cattle stalls. Water-tight cutters be-
hind the cattle, or a liberal use of alb
sorbents that are free from weed seed,
will make vast difference in the fertil-
ity of the fields, which meaus increased
crops, without adding materially to their
cost.--Amefican Agricuturist.

FOOD FOR MICH COWS.

Green and suceulent food is best for
mich cows, but the succulence of food
should not be in excess, Food contain.
ing more than about seventy per cent. of
water will produce more milk by evapo-
rating the water in excess of that quaint
ity. Green fodder corn, for instance.
which contains from eighty to eighty
five per cent. of water, will produce more
milk by evaporating ten to fifteen per
cent. OF its moisture Another item to
regard in the selection of food for milk
production IS, tnat the digestible ele-
ments of the food should contain flesh
forming and respiratory matter in the
same relative proportions, or as near as
may be, as they exist in milk. If there
is an excess Of either, it will be fed at n
loss; if deficiency of either, the QUAINT
ity will diminish. When proper pro-
portions do not exist they may be regu-
lated by mixing different feeds Thus
fodder corn las an excess of respiratory
matter; clover Of hesh-forming; by mix
ing the two both are fed more prohtably.
In grasses these elements are pretty well
balanced; so they are in whe6t and rye,
bran and various other foods. So far as
milk is concerned, an excess of albu-
minoids occasions less loss than an excess
of starch sugar aud fat, and a deficiency
of albuminoids will also occasion the
greater loss. The quantity of milk varies
pretty nearly with the supply of flesh
producing food when other circumstances
are equal.-Notional Dairymaa.

There is no doubt that much grass is
wasted in pasturing; it is impossible to
eat the grass evenly, because so much
depends upon the weather; when there
is plenty of rain the COWS eau eat it and
much of it may run to seed, then a
drouth may come and there won't be
near CT ough feed, the consequence being
we must provide enough pasturaee to
allow for waste and drouth. But, as a
rule, farmers have plenty of land, in fact,
many are Gland poor"-they have more
than they can cultivate well. On the
other hand, the advocates OF soiling
claim that great saving is effected by
their system of feeding. So there is, Of

expensive, soiling may be practiced, but

A correspondent, by placing his col
onies close together on a low platform
and protecting them in the tall with
double rows of cornstalks, held down by
planks. overlapping at the tops, never
loses his bees. Such protection would be
admirable if the bees could fly out when
too warm. He does not say the bees are
entirely shut in. If they are this would
be like burying. The beekeeper could
not know the condition of his bees from
November TO April. While they might
winter well if everything were right,
they might become disturbed by too great
heat or some other cause, and all die.
The beekeeper should be able to ex-
anime his bees any time, to know aud
remedy any uufavorable condition. Un-
less he can and will do this, it is never
best 10 have bees closed in the hive so
they cannot get out. III Il good cellar
one can be sure of uniform temperature
-thirty-fve to forty-fye degrees-and
no disturbing mice. But even in cellar
never close the entrance to hives so bees
cannot cluster outside if the temperature
becomes too high. The plan of placing
hives close together is good one. Col
onies keep each other warm, and less
protection from cold is required. A

now TO KILL POULTRY.

As has been many times told, the fowl
to be killed must be tasted for from
twelve to twenty-four hours to insure
an empty crop. There are various modes
of killing, all of which are efectual in
practised hands. One is to sever the
spine, which causes death quickly, by
giving the bird very sharp blow with
small but heavy stick behind the neck
about the second joint from the head.
A second mode is to clasp the birds
head in the hand and swing the body
round by it. This process, like the first,
kills by parting the spine. The simpler
method of chopping off the head is
familiar to all. A plan largely practised
by progressive poultrymen, and perhaps
the most merciful of all, is hanging
the bird up by the legs and thrusting a
long, narrow and sharp pointed knife,
like long penknife, which is made for
the purpose, through the back part of
the roof of the mouth up into the brain.

On the table Of downtown fish
market | saw curious sight. 1t was a
monster crab with splendid specimen
of the sea aster attached to its back.
Thus welded they were caught ia net
near the Highlands and brought to this
city. 1t is not often that catch of this
kind is made, for the sea aster, when he
finds himself in difficulties, is apt to sud
denly release his hold and slip away.
Why he neglected to do so in this case is
unexplained.
For the benefit of younger readers it
may be well to state that the sea aster is
frequently found off the coast of New
Jersey In shape it resembles a small
suited sheaf of wheat, the tuft itself sug-
costing the idea of the familiar flower
tiom which it takes its name.
Generally its color is a dingy white.
but occasionally a specimen is found that
is bright yellow in complexion, 1t is al.
ways striped and spotted in brown. Its
tuft is composed of feathery tontacles of
pink like hue.
By means of numerous powerful
suckers it firmly aifixes itself TO the
back of some able bodied crab or lobster
and is conveyed to the hauuts of those
crustaceans, upon whose food it revels.
or course it is a most uuwelcome guest
aud passenger, but the crab or lobster
cannot shake it off until 1t chooses to re-
lax its hold.-Netc York Herald.
