length of four or five inches or else
the seed be well covered by use Of
wheelbarrow. The oats should be
sown several days after the peas and
lightly narrowed in. Bysowing three
or four small areas one week apart,
starting as early IN the spring as pos
sible, this crop will supply fresh,
nutritious forage for about a month,
beginning with the last week in June
while if the whole is sown at one time
part of the fodder becomes dry and
woody before it can be utilized.
On fertile sods a second crop of
clover should be available by the first
of August and will afford the best of
feed for ten days or two weeks at this
period of the summer.
With most farmers corn is the great
forage crop for late summer, and early
fall feeding. While it is doubtful if
there is any crop that will produce
larger amount of food material per
acre, there are a number of legumi2-
Gus crops that can be grown with less
drain upon the soil and will afford
forage Of much higher nutritlve value
pound for pound. In Southern New
England and as far north as Central
New York, the COW pea can be easily
grown on warm, light soils, while the
sofa bean affords a large amount of
excellent forage and can be grown in
nearly all parts of New England. These
crons will afford forage from about the
middle OF August till the killing frosts
come.
Late in September it is sometimes
found necessary to use rOwen from the
moving field and i'll this case the more
clover there is in it the better. Grasses
when young and tender are more nitro
genous than in the larger stages Of
growth, and hence rOwcn affords &
much better food than the full grown
grasses.
For late fall feed there is no crop
yet in use equal to barley and peas.
This crop can be sown the first part of
August on tho clover ground, or it
may follow the oats and peas. Two
bushels Of peas and one of barley make
a 900 mixture. Both of these plants
withstand frosts we'll and make excel
lent growth in cool weather. New

THE INDIAN OUTBREAK.
Very Serious Trouble With the
Cheyennes in Oklahoma.

dispatch from Ell Reno, Oklahoma, says:
The military authorities at Fort Reno have
received further information of the Indian
outbreak in G. County, Oklahoma. William
Delesdenier, q trader at Sener, a point thirty
five miles from the origin of the trouble.
came in to purchase ammunition to take out
to the settlers. He says that the Indians
purchased 5000 rounds of ammunition and
took it to the band. The settlers began col
Letting at Sener, and at that time they had a
company of about IT'S men under arms, and
several bands of settlers had gone to the
scene of the trouble. The Indians engaged
are followers of Red Moon. The fighting is
on the Washita River, about lis miles west
of Ell Reno.
Dolesdenier and party of settlers went to
the scene of the fighting. and found that If
teen of the Indians and about as many of the
whites had been killed. 1t was impossible to
get the names of tbOSe killed The Indians
are all armed with repeating rifles, and have
plenty of ammunition. Indians from other
parts of the reservation have fastened to join
red Moon III his contest, and he at this time
had about $50 men III his fighting band.
A skirmish occurred between band of In
diaDs and some white men about thirty
miles from Cantonment, the Indians being
on the move to join Red Moon, The
bodies OF two white men were brought into
Cantonment. They were killed in the en-
counter, but the number of Intans killed or
wounded was not known. This Information
was brought in by Clarence Trent, horse
man, who had just arrived from that point,
having ridden n1nety-flve miles to bring the
information.
The scene of the Indian trouble is nearly
100 miles from a railroad or telegraph sta
hon. and full details are hard to obtain.

Threatened by n River.

''Our city is just now in great dam
ger of losing the Missouri River"
said George Henderson, of Atchison,
Kan, at the St. James. "And not
only that, but the iron bridge over
Atchison from the East are pretty
sure to be cut off, too. For several
years the river has been cutting away
the bank above the railroads on the
Missouri side to such an extent that
two or three thousand acres of land
have been carried away, rs we'll as a
good deal of the site of East AtchisOn
The Government spent S75, 900 in pro
tecting the bank, but the work was
improperly done, and last June n
freshet came along and swept all the
improvements out Since then the
river has resumed its warfare, and
several valuable farms have been
washed away. This year since the
river began to rise the bank has been
caving in Mt an alarming rate. Orlgl-
nally the shore line was over mile
from the railroad tracks; now it is less
than hundred yards, and the rail-
road men are ready to tear up the
tracks at the shortest possible notice.
If the river cuts through, as it is
feared it will, it will throw the Mis-
souri, River fully mile from the east
bank of its present bed, leave the big
iron bridge spanning a lake and cut OFT
all rail communication with the East.
Then, also, every house of every sort,
including valuable pork packing
plant in East Atchison, will be swept
away. Should the worst happen, ST.,
500, 900 would not cover the loss.
Only Providence can prevent the river
cutting through, as the river Is too
high now to admit of work being
done, even if there was plenty of
money at hand to do it. The rail

SUMMER FORAGE CROPS.

When extra feed is needed as early
as June there is nothing better than
clover. The best time for sowing clover
is in July or the early part of August
1t may readily follow some forage crop
fed off in midsummer. When grown
for forage the clover should be seeded
at the rate of twenty pounds to the
acre, and will produce ten to twelve
tons of green for age, worth at least a
fourth more than timothy for feeding
purposes.
Oats and peas, sown at the rate of
one and one half bushels of oats and
two of peas per acre, will afford excel
lent forage for midsummer. The peas
should either be plowed into the

FATTEEING SHEEP.

When the hog has stopped putting
on flesh or fat he must be disposed of,
no matter what the market, for after
that period all food given is practi
cally wasted. But the case Is different
with sheep. After reaching th eir
maximum weight and condition as to
flesh that will eat but little, and tAis
is amply paid for IN the increase i'll
quantity and quality OF wool. Be
sides prices of mutton sheep are al
ways better after the weather begins
to get warm, as mutton is more of Il
hot than cold weather food. Again,
the market will pay more for nicely
shorn and we'll handled wool than the
butchers will; and wool can be more
cheaply freighted when packed i'll
sacks than when on the sleeps back.
Another consideration is shorn sheep,
if well fattened, will sell for more than
unshorn, for the former can be seen
by the buyer at a glance, while the
latter must be carefully inspected, one
by one, and lastly, shorn sheep will
ship more comfortably and be III bet
ter condition when reaching market
than unshorn. These conditions make
all winter feeding most desirable. -

SOUR MILK FOR CALVES.

Sour milk is not fit food for a calf
It may keep the animal alive, but it
will not thrive or make a healthy
growth. The sour milk will quickly
curdle in the stomach and cause indi-
gestion. 1t is this way of feeding
a calf that makes so many poor COWS,
for an animal that has been stunted in
it's early growth will never recover the
loss afterward. Skinned milk, if
sweet, is good for any calf, but it
should be warmed to eighty OF ninety
degrees, as it is most digestible at
that temperature. Fat is not so much
required for young calf. Muscular
growth is needed more than fat, and
thus makes better COW than if the
food made fat animal 1t is quite
safe to give a month-old calf IL int

THE STUDY OF AGRICULTURE.

Agriculture is the basis of our
national progress and prosperity.
While this fact is widely recognized,
yet the study of this most important
of all callings is not placed i'll the
curriculum of the public schools of
the country. Generations of chill
dren pass through life without ability
to distinguish between wheat and
barley when they see it growing. 1t
seems necessary to be born on farm
to be acquainted with even the rudi-
ments of agriculture. This is all
wrong. The studies CT the school
room should be arranged to meet this
oversight. True, men have become
famous in many ways, whose sole
equipment was furnished i'll the COM
mon schools of the country, but these
have yet to graduate a scholar who
was ever aided in his life work as
farmer by the knowledge acquired in
them. The introduction of sound
text books on agriculture III rural pub
lie schools would remedy this defect
of the system under which they are
operated. The children of farmers
have as perfect right to the technical
knowledge of their prospective call
ing, as that such knowledge of things
that at best are but mere accomplish
ments shall be taught. The tendency
toward the latter is very manifest in
many directions in the studies of the
public schools. 1t is always better to
teach few things that the student
may be fully acquainted with them
rather than to overwhelm him with
lot of useless trash that retard him in
his life work. For that reason agri-
culture should form prominent
future in the studies of rural public
schools, because of its future useful
ness to the average attendant at them.

REFS AND FRUIT.

The business of the hOrticulturist
and that of the apiculturist are each q
necessary adjunct of the other, says q
lady writer. The beekeeper may pay
a wonderful sum for the best bees III
the world, may have them in the best
of hives with movable frames, queen
excluding honey boards, etc, etc :;
above the brood nest he may have the
whitest of section boxes, every one
containing a foundation starter; III
fact, have everything ready to catch
the surplus honey when the honey
flow shall come if the land be not full
of flowers on every hand there will
be no surplus for him. Professor
Wilson has made an elaborate calcula
ton, and concludes that it would re-
quire $500, 900 fOrets like those
of the white clover to yield one pound
of clover honey. This gives some
idea of the vast number of blossoms
necessary, as we'll as the amount Of
labor represented in every honey
comb. The fruit grower may ransack
the earth for new and improved
varieties; he may be as skillful as
possible in planting; he may graft
and propagate and hybridize, and yet
if the winds are not favorable and the
bee does not visit the blossoms in
search of pollen or nectar the blossoms
will soon wither and fall and never
produce the fruit for which the bios
SONS lived and grew, and for which
the horticulturist had bestowed upon
the tree or plant his labor, fore
thought and fostering care. Chicago
