reds have got their lesson"
All this, which has taken so long to
tell, occupied scarce a minute in the
doing. We found Scott with but
scalp wound, and we set off back to the
Indian camp jolly party.
Scattered over the ground we foun
blankets, buffalo robes, deer skins,
prairie wolf pelts, war clubs, bows and
arrows and spears. Twenty sets OF
these weapons still lay by the warriors
slain by the opening rifle volley. Near

dred ponies.
Then we set out for the corral. The
approach, the attack, the rescue, the
skirmish, the pursuit, the destruction
of the camp had been crowded into
less than three hours.
This was only one among the daring
necessary deeds which made Kit Car

Green Manure Souring Land.

There is a belief that prevails

crops, causing the soil to turn soul

ton Of the green manure still more.
:onething depends on the kind OF
green heritage plOwed under. A
growth Of clover has a large proper
ton Of nitrogen in it, causing it to
give Off much heat when it decays.
while a growth Of sorrel rot, more
slowly. and may be said to Soul the
land, not because it is itself sour, but
because it has too little nitrogen to

In proper conditions a heavier yield

If you let young stock shift for it,

cheap at the outset, but pretty dear
in the final reckoning. 1t maEts the
production OF beef, butter, milk,
wool, etc, pretty expensive.

superiority OF sour milk over sweet

Milk Preserved by Oxygen.

The New York Herald's European
edition reports a new method of keep.
ing milk 10y means OF oxygen which
has been adopted in France with
very marked success. 1t has been
found that when taken fresh from
the COW and placed in a receptacle
with compressed OK, geo and finally
stored in twenty-five gallon cans at
a pressure Of two atmo>phereS, it will
travel for months in perfect condi-
ton. 1t is said that milk thus
treated and sent from Lyons to Lon

mentS, while it will stand a tenn
perature almost up to the boiling
point without cOagulat.ng. 1t is
claimed 10y NJ. Niilon, who has ex-
pcrimented in this way with milk on
a large scale, that when 50 treated it
is freed from germs Of tuberculosis
But this ha, yet to be conclusively
proved. 1t is probable that oxygen
will destroy all bacterial germs; but
will it not also Immediately sour the
milk TO which it is exposed? The
SOlring OF milk Is due to chemical
changes caused b. the essence Of
OK yen in tie air. Yet this oxygen
must he diluted TO produce these et-
fects Pure oxygen burns, and thus
destroys what 1T IS applied to, e,-
pecIally if it be injurious. AS the
compressed oxygen must necessarily
be kept from contact with common
air, it may well keep milk in the
same vessel with Itself, free from all
changes.

Horses many times are abused I'm
consciously by their owners. There
are more ways of be ng cruel to a
horse than overlooking or beating
him. Are the horses always watered
in town before starting back over the
hot, dusty road: doubtless the
driver never fails to quench his
thirst. Are the feet cleaned out
every day? Is it too much to 60 to
the blacksmith's about every three
weeks to have the shoe, reset? When
your horses are very warm do you
stand them in a draft and not cover
them with a light blanket to prevent
chilling by absorbing the p~erspira-
ton? DO you use the overhead
check? Ii you do, throw it away.
If things do not 60 to suit you when
on the road, do you Jerk your horse?
DO the collars always tit; Is the
stable cleaned regularly and often?
Not once a month, whether it needs
it or not, but every day. Ii the har-
ness CHATS, is it attended to at once,
or is it put off till some other day?
Are the horses always blankcted
when left standing on a cold day.
If you bave to leave your team
hltched in a storm, do you always see
' that 1t Is not obliged to face it? BY
answering these questions to yourself
you can see whether or not your
horses are well treated.
