The transfcr of the Indian agencies to
officers of the regular army will be
gradually accomplished, 1t is not in
the nature OF handing over ehf Indian
management to the war department,
FOR the control of the agencies will still
be in the hands of the secretary of the
interior. 1t will not be an innovation,
either, for f;om time to time since the
beginning of Indian agencies they have
been occasionally put in charge Of army
officers,
Senator Henderson said in his speech
advocating the measure that there never
had been single instance Of fraud or
stealing on the part of the military Indian
agent. This is much to say, The fact
shines like good deed in a naughty
world. Army officers have been known
to get drunk, unfortunately, more than
once. Some of them have likewise de-
voloped liking for the fascinating game
of poker. But they never put off on the
Indian blankets that a horse would
despise or flour that rat would scorn
to eat and pocketed the difference,
Therefore one scandal at least will be
avoided.
Wherever it seems BEST the president
will still have the authority under the
new law TO appoint civilian agents, SC
that they are not cut off entirely, But
| if in addition to their undoubtcd honesty
the officer agents will interest them
selves in the education and peaceful
civilization of their wards, we shall
have the model Indian management,

Soaked Food for Chicks.

Soaked stale bread collects in the bow
els and forms hard mass, resembling a
cartridge for a revolver, and is like
stone this ohstructs the passage and will
not move. The chick DROPS around a
few days and then dies. Several such
cases came under our notice the
past two years Stale soaked bread
formed large part of their daily
food. On adjoining farms where bread
was not used no cases occurred. We
mean in chicks and young turkeys, says
The Poultry News. The Fanciers' Jour
nal, commenting on the foregoing, says:
"More chicks are sent to an early grave
by soaked food than anything else. A
chicken likes granulated foods best, and
coarsely ground wheat, corn and oats
are relished by even very young
chicks. Cracked rice, worth about 81
cents per pound, can be used in the
mixture occasionally. With dry food
the chicks require plenty of drink. A
favorite food in use by some poultrymen
is a bread made Of bran one-third,
ground oats one-third and cornmeal one
third, mixed with milk and baked hard.
This bread is broken or ground up
coarsely and fed dry"
1t is popular belief that hard boiled
eggs furnish the best possible feed fol
newly Matched chicks. The Southern
Fancier takes exceptions to this general
rule and says: I'VE do not hesitate tc
denounce all such epicurean dishes as
hard boiled eggs, milk toast, ETC., and
strongly advocate the simplest diet OBJ
tainable. For young chicks we know
of nothing better than cornmeal cooked
into what is commonly known as john
ny cake. This at first, and afterward
wheat and cracked corn"

the general es- REV, JOHN JASPER.
TEEN until his famous sermon to prove
that the sun do move" excited the
laughter of the country,
But it proved much easier to laugh at
Mr.. Jasper than to put him down by
Scripture texts, Every Sunday that he
is at home many white visitors to Rich
mond are seen in his congregation, and
by special request he has repeated his
argument for the Ptolemaic theory
about 300 times. A correspondent of
the Chicago Times, who heard him in
1886, gives this description:
He is venerable three-quarter mis-

south shall rise up against this genera

went on and grew more excited his Ian
guage gradually changed to the planta-

Swaying TREMENDOUSLY, or leaning far over
the pulpit and waving his long arms, he

And while every one swayed back

(even the white visitors) he suddenly
changed his tone and told us that they

Plant Trees and Preserve Trees.

The tremendous floods this spring in
several parts of the country emphasize
anew the necessity of preserving entire
the wood covered heights which are the
sources of our water courses. A river
takes its rise among hills and noun
tains. 1t is formed by iunumerable little
brooks and rills, which are formed by
rain or melting snow. If the ground G:
these heights is kept covered with tiu-
Der, that timber preserves the water
from being evaporated by the suns rays
and causing drought on the one hand,
and holds it back and causes it to pass
off gently, thus preventing floods and
ruin on the other Wooded hills and
heights are our natural reservoirs of
water supply. If the woods are cut
away, the land is turned out bare, and
the bright, life giving brooks dry up.
Where are the springs and brooks of
fifty years ago? The water which would
have passed gently away through them,
giving grateful drink to growing crops,
rushes off in wild torrent in the spring,
carrying destruction in its path. Alter
nate flood and drought are the history Of
the region where the small water courses
have been destroyed in this manner.
Therefore keep the hills and noun
tains covered with timber at the top and
around the sources of springs, creeks and
rivers. Plant trees where they have
been stripped off, preserve trees where
they are still left, 1t is life or death tt
agriculture in mary parts of the country

A neighbor rolled his corn ground and
ON the windiest day of the spring, more
dust was blowing from it than fro;l any
other two fields. A neighboring oatfeld
was rolled, and it was the finest looking
field we could see in our drives. The
sleet, snow and freeze came on, and for
reasons apparent to every one, this was
the worst damaged field in the neighbor-
hood. In every slight depression, not
touched by the roller, the oats were all
right. We could not want better OBJ
ject lesson, says correspondent writing
to Prairie Farmer. Use the roller or
plank drag to compact the soil, but
follow with the harrow for several
reasons. The top soil should always be
loose, preventing escape of moisture in
dry times, and the stirring prevents
forming of crust. In cases like the oats,
rolling should come first then the drill
marks will hold rain or snow, and dust
will fall in them instead of drifting
across the field as it will on smooth
surface

In comparative test at the Ohio sta

coarse, weak straw, with plump, heavy,
white grains. 9. Varieties with open
panicle and white grain, but the grain
more pointed and lighter in weight than
Welcome 3, Varieties having open
panicle, but with black or mixed grain.
4. Varieties in which the panicle is more

variety was adopted as a standard, and
was sown on every third plot through

side Welcome was chosen as the stand
ard of the first group, Wideawake for
the second and Seizure for the fourth.
The four mixed sorts sown in the third
group were compared with Welcome.
The average yield of eight plots of
Welcome was Az bushels per acre,
and the greatest variation between
neighboring plots was two bushels,
Ten plots of Wideawake averaged at
the rate Of nearly forty-nine bushels
per acre, Banner, Early Prize Cluster,
Kansas Hybrid and White Canadian,
California White, Scottish Chief, Prob

Five plots of Seizure averaged tifty-six
bushels. Golden Giant, Giant Yellow
French and Egyptian yielded about the
same. Black Tartarian, Prince Edward
Island, Dakota Gray, Black Prolific and
Japan yielded two to five bushels more
than Seizure and Wilson's Progress
and Alabama fell three to eight bushels
below Seizure.
OF the mixed sorts with open panicle
Monarch and Rustproof yielded four te

Chemistry and the Farmer.

Every discovery of great practical
benefit to the manufacturing arts and to
agriculture has been given to practical
men by abstract scientific investigation.
A marked case is that of the application
of phosphate fertilizers. Science found
by investigation that pure phosphoric
acid was constituent without which no
plant could live and thrive. Moreover,
nineteen pounds of phosphoric acid are
taken from the soil for every acre of
wheat that is grown. This, too, science
discovered. 1t was then merely a ques-
ton of time when all soils that gave up
their fertility thus readily would be ex-
hausted, unless some means of putting
back the phosphoric acid could be de-
vised.
Here again science came to the aid of
the practical man. 1t found that
immense beds of phosphates existed in
various parts of the world. 1t investi-
gated and found means to separate the
phosphoric acid from the minerals and
foreign substances that held it, and
force it to go into service for the farmer
This is the greatest boon as well as boom
to agriculture in many a year.
The phosphoric acid largely comes
from decomposing bone, animal sub
stance and shells. Sometimes the bones
are those of fossil animals that lived be-
fore the dawn of history. This kind of
phosphate is found in Canada. In Flor
ida are immense mines of fossil guano.
Untold millions of tiny shellfsh, too,
lived and died cons ago in what is now
Florida to give fertility to the soil of the
American farmer, and science found
them for him. In South Carolina the
remains of fish mostly are the sources of
the phosphates. Other deposits are
found in Nofih Carolina, Virginia and
Georgia, but from South Carolina and
Florida comes the largest supply. Here
in our own favored country we have
beds which will supply our needs fol
generations to come, though the need
already reaches millions of tons year.

They were but forty dollars in debt, and
two young ladies started out to raise the
amount. When they called ON Mr.. N.
W. Mills, whose wife is president of the
association, he jocularly offered five
cents each for kisses and was promptly

one of the paper mills, raised the offer
to fifty cents, and thus contributed some
what.
The ladies declared that this would

that each of the forty should raise a dol

COL, r. W. HOWARD, overlooking Mar
ragansett bay, and is in splendid health
and we'll preserved despite his wounds
and hardships during and before the
civil war.
He was born in Warwick, r. l., and
reached manhood when the contest in
Kansas was at its hottest. Being a
"fanatical abolitionist," as the phrase
then was, and being also dead shot
with Sharps rifle, he Joined the
Browns in Kansas and was trusted
and active man in all their fights and
raids. His account is as thrilling as any
romance. He declares that Browns first
organization, with headquarters at Al
bia, Ia, was betrayed by an Englishman
named Floyd, who had been employed as
drillmaster, and so the raid was delayed
for a year.
When nearly ready, in 1859, Brown
suspected that he was again betrayed,
and moved hastily with the twenty men
he had at his Maryland farm instead of
waiting for the other detachments.
Strange as it may seem to cool observers,
Colonel Howard still thinks the move
ment might have been success if the
other detachments had come up.
In the final catastrophe he was with
Kagi and others in that "dugout" on
the river front, and was the only one
who escaped. He travelled by night
walks to Harrisburg, and thence in dis
guise to st. Louis, before he dared to
read paper or ask about the outcome
of the raid When the civil war began
he enlisted in the Ninth Rhode Island,
but soon became an independent scout
and spy, was twice in Richmond as spy
and had many narrow escapes, He is
still fervent admirer of John Brown
and proud of his share in the raid

Three essentials for successful wheat
growing are good drainage, good tillage
and good seed.
Alfalfa is said to have proved a sur
prising success upon the sandy soil of
south central Kansas wherever tried.
Three crops the first year and good hog
pasture all winter were not uncommon
results.
The Oregon experiment station re-
port menticns beal as one of five of the
best varieties of white wheat, which
have been grown on the experimental
grounds for two succeeding years.
One noted wheat grower says that for
wheat he wants the ground fine and firm,
and that there is little or no danger of
having the ground too firm.
According to "a Connecticut station
analysis, sample of fresh hen manure
contained nitrogen O.56, phosphoric acid
OBS, potash 0.56.

Alfalfa and Its Requirements.

Alfalfa is especially adapted to a dry
climate, and under such conditions and
in soils where the roots can run down
several feet to find moisture its best eff
fects are realized. 1t is not well suited
to clay lands or to land that is usually
moist, and the plants are slow in growth
and require two years to become well
established. At the New York station
(Geneva) alfalfa has been grown success
fully for several years, although good
seedlings were not always secured, but
when once well established in the soil
it furnishes largo crops Of forage and
withstands drought better than most
forage crops. The station bulletin adj
vised farmers trying it to put down a
small plot only to this crop until they
have become more familiar with it. AS
reported by the department of agricul-
ture, the experience Of the stations
where it has been tried indicates that it
is plant valuable for fodder, but that
it requires peculiar conditions of soil and
climate for growth, and careful culture
to make it a profitable crop. The YER
mont station has reported that alfalfa
was tried on more than thirty farms
throughout the state, and although il
was looking finely when the snow came,
in most cases it was winter killed, and
in the opinion of those who tried it was
not adapted to the climate.

All in One Garden Patch.

Last year, in a garden patch, we plant
ed Cory corn about the middle of April.
When it was about foot high we plant
ed Crosby between the rows. When the
Cory was cut up Ne Plus Ultra was sown
for fodder where the Cory had stood.
When the Crosby was ripe it was cut
out and fed to cows, and cabbage plants
were set out in its place. On strip
eighteen inches wide on each side of the
Ne Plus Ultra rye was sown. All did
well except the cabbage. which was
small The Ne Plus Ultra sweet corn
grew nearly three feet high. The rye
was plowed under this spring. Nothing
but cheNico Sfertilizers was used. The
Ne Plus Ultra sweet corn is commend
ed highly for home use.-Rural New
