Indian Tradition of the Flood.

There was not If early historians,
missionaries and theologians are to be
believed, single tribe of American In
dams who had, at the time of the white
mans advent in the western hemis-
phere, the least smattering Of tradition
concerning the life, ministry and suf-
ferings of Jesus. But this does not
hold good in relation to the story of
Creation, the Tower Of Babel and the
Flood, many of them having tradition
airy history which almost exactly cor
responds with the stories OF these great
events as related in the Bible.
One day Maj. Davenport, the govern
ment agent for the Musquakies, was
telling some chiefs about Noah, the
flood and the ark, when one of them
interrupted him with: Hump! We
know that long time. We was in ca
noes all tied together. We float on
heap water. We send muskrat down
one, two-many times. He dive, come
up. Last he go down and come up
with mud in his claw. We know water
going down" This was all the infor-
nation Mr.. Davenport could elicit from
the dusky seer.-St Louis Republic.

HALL WAY
sECoND-FLoOR PLAN.

enter the building at the right hand
side, the short hall across the end can
be avoided, Jus giving more room for
the pens. The partition between the
main hallway and the pens should be
of wire netting to admit the sunlight
from the large windows in front. AS
the stairway is arranged, the hall in
the lower story will be upon the back
side, as it should be here. Yards can
be constructed on each side, though
none are shown for the lower story in
the illustration. Such a house can, of
course, be built at any length desired.
Where two breeds are kept, the less
hardy can be wintered in the lower
story to great advantage. Such build
ing allows one to keep two such breeds
as the Leghorns and Plymouth Rocks,
or other large breed, thus making quite
sure of eggs the year round If proper
management is used.
believe in having separate roost-
ing-room in the upper story, so that the
fowls may be sure of warm quarters
at night, a flock being able to warm up
small apartment like the one figured,
by. the heat of their bodies. They
should keep themselves warm during
the day time by vigorous scratching
an exercise essential for warmth and
productive laying. Webb Donnell, in

Colts cannot be fed too literally dur
ing their two years of life, especially if
they are being trained. Ground oats
and steamed ground oats and barley
are good, but with both horses and
colts good hay and grass are essential
to perfect health. Give colts all they
can eat up clean. but it is not SO easy
to fix the quantity with horses. Horses
differ in the amount of food they do
best on just as they differ in the amount
of work they require. A limited pro-
portion of cracked or ground food is
beneficial in all cases, and essential in
some. Horses who are inclined to bolt
their oats. in whose solid excrements
are observed their whole grains, will
get more nourishmcnt from broken
than from whole grain. Good clean
bran, well scalded, may be used judi
ciously to good advantage when the
horses bowels need little locsening.

the Trotting Horse.

USING THE HARROW.
An Implement That Can Always Be Ad.
vsntageously Employed.


Both in preparing the soil for plant.
ing and in the cultivation of the differ
ent crops the harrow can nearly always
be used to a good advantage. Under
ordinary conditions the harrow is an
economical tool, and for this reason it
can often be used much more largely
than it is.
1t is important with all crops to have
the soil in good filth before planting
the seed, and in finishing this work the
harrow can always be used more or
less to an advantage. 1t is too often
the case that sufficient narrowing 10
not given.
Generally the sooner the harrow Is
used after the soil is stirred with the
pillow or cultivator the better. In
many cases the land is plowed in the
fall, and in the spring all that is nee
essary is to work the surface with a
disc harrow or cultivator and then fin-
ish with the spike-tooth harrow.
In the preparation of the soil for the
seed it is often the last working that
pays the best. A fine seed bed not
only gives a better termination, but
leaves the soil in better condition to
commence the cultivation early, while
it affords a much better opportunity
for the plants to make good growth.
BY having the soil in good tilth
when the seed is planted the work of
cultivating can begin as soon as the
other work will permit after planting.
By doing this not only will the weeds
be destroyed more readily, but the
soil can be kept in good filth much
easier.
While destroying the weeds and
giving clean cultivation is one essen
tial item, it is not all. Keeping the
soil fine and mellow is equally impor-
tant. In many cases the first harrow.
ing may be given before the plants
show above ground. In most cases
there are number of different kinds
of weed seeds that will germinate in
less time than is required for corn,
cane or potatoes, and these will he de-
stroyed if proper care is taken by using
the harrow early.
One advantage in using the harrow
two or three times before commencing
with the cultivator is that it destroys
the weeds more thoroughly close
around the plants than almost any
other implement that can be used If
the weeds can be kept down at the
start and the soil made fine and mellow
the plants are able to secure more
vigorous start to grow, and then by
using the cultivator this growth may
mcuh more readily be maintained. But
if the plants get stunted in the early
stages of growth no after working will
entirely remove the effect, hence the
Importance of early, thorough work -
