ALeyend of the kiowas.

When Wilson and Thomas visited
what is now Western Kansas, away
back in 1S41, the Kiowa Indians tod
them the queer s!ory of the white
sky calf" According to the legend,
that portion Of the American desert
was formerly very fertile. supporting
large herds of pure white buffaloes,
each having o black tail. These crea-
lures were held sacred by the savages,
and never killed for any purpose
Finally an old medicine man, Ne-ka-
ta-mah, vowed that he would have
tepee built from the sacred white
skins. The chiefs of the trih rled
hard to dissuade himifrom the notion,
but all to no purpose-he declared
that he would commence to collect the
skins on the morrow. During the
night great white light appeared IN
the sky, and in its centre a white buf-
falo calf. The calf slowly descended
to the earth, took charge Of the herds,
leading them northwood, and from
that day to this the Kiowas have
never seen a white buffalo.-Chicago

THE FEEDING VALUE OF ROOTS.

There are many substances which if
chemical analysis be taken as the sole
guide for feeding value, would appear
to be ideal rations, yet it is sometimes
found that either the animals will re-
fuse to eat them altogether, Or fail to
do we'll when restricted to them, writes
Ii. ". Mumford, of Michigan. It is
important, then, that foods should be
appetizing, that they should be
relished by the stock. Again, one
cannot consistently advise the use of
articles of food, at least to any con-
siderable extent, unless it can be
proftably produced or purchased at a
comparatively reasonable figure in the
markets.
The chemical analysis of roots has
proven satisfactory, they are relished
by stock, they can be probably
GROWN, and when fed out to farm ami
mails experience has shown that the
results obtained have come MP to oil
reasonable expectations. I find t. en-
valuable as a food for oil farm stock.
Horses soon learn to like them and
it has been a custom with me to feed
about two good-sized roots to horse
every day. All the young cattle get
rutabagas, seldom mo than sixty
pounds of cut roots d. :, depending
on the age and size of The animal.
aim to feed the cows on what sugar
beets they will eat up clean. The
brood SOW gets few roots every day
and seems to eat and relish them as
we'll as grain. Poultry are fond of a
light feed of finely chopped beets ct
frequent intervals.
While I advocate the feeding of
roots to all farm animals, where sue
culent food in some other form is not
available, yet believe that roots are
pre-eminently most valuable and an
economic food for sheep. At the
Michigan experiment station, in an
experiment conducted to ascertain the
relative value of ensilage and roots
for fattening lambs, the roots gave
much the most marked results. Not
only this, but the economic value of
roots as factor in the ration of fat
tening lambs was conclusively proven.
1t is very expensive to construct a
silo and get suitable machinery, while
in raising and feeding roots no great
initial outlay IS occasioned and the
roots furnish valuable succulent food

HOW To WATER PLANTS,

One reason why plants fade SO soon
in ordinary living rooms is because
due attention is not paid to them.
The mere supplying them with water
is not enough; the leaves should be
kept perfectly clean, for plants
breathe by their leaves, and If their
surfaces are clogged with dust, respir-
alton is hindered, or may be alto
gether prevented. Plants perspire by
their leaves. too, and dirt, of course,
impedes this perspiration and as they
also feed in the same manner, it is
evident that there can be no thriving
and growth without real cleanliness.
Cast the eyes upon the foliage of
plants kept in the ordinary sitting
room, then draw q white handker chief
over the leaves, and it will be seen
that they are far from being as clean
as their nature required. Louis

TO KEEP THE NESTS AND EGGS CLEAN.

TO KEEP THE NESTS AND EGGS CLEAN.
AS those eggs which are the cleanest
and brightest looking usually bring
the highest price when marketed, the
keeping of the nest clean, so that the
eggs may be SO, is no doubt one way
by which you can make your eggs
bring a higher price than those of
your neighhors. There is no secret
whatever to be found out ir order to
accomplish this, as all that one will
have to do is to be watchful and see
that whatever you may keep in your
nest to make it soft is changed when
ever it may be needful. The eggs can
never be clean if the nest is dirty; but
if the nest is clean you will undoubt-
edly find the eggs SO, hence it is in
the nest the work will have to be done
in order that the chen fruit" may
have that clear, bright and clean APP
pearance which catches the eye of the
consumer. To keep the nest clean is
very easy matter; all that will be
needed is to change the hay, straw, or
leaves. or whatever may be used, about
once week. When you are cleaning
out the nest in this manner good idea
would be to give it thick coat of
whitewash. This Will make it look
better and will also drive away from
the vicinity of the nest the lice, which
are so troublesome to the hens when
laying. York Witness.

THE CULTIVATION OF vIoLETs.

Violets grown entirely in cold frames
will require considerable care to in
sure a supply of flowers during the
winter months. If leaves have not al
ready been packed about the frames
for additional protection, this should
be done at once. A litter OF manure,
straw or hay affords fairly good pro-
lection, but none of these keep out
cold as we'll as leaves, and they are all
less tidy-!ooking. If frame is prop
erly packed with leaves and protected
with mats and Shutters a temperature
of zero or lower can easily be resisted.
Instead of straw mats we use those
made of Singapore-ibre. They cost
but little more than the straw mats,
are slightly heavier, and far more
durable. They are impervious 60
moisture, and mice do not gnaw and
destroy them. The mats we have used
for three winters are but little worse
for wear, and cared for properly should
last eight to ten years. Snow should
not be allowed to remain over the
panes longer than twenty-four hours
at time If it can possibly be avoided !;
the plants need all the light and air
they can get during the dark months,
and if the frames are covered over for
a week or ten days at time the plants
suffer greatly. Mold will quickly
spread among the crowns and the
leaves become weak and spir ding.
The plants ought to be picked over
once week, and any diseased or de-
caying foliage removed. Ifan. green
slime appears on the surface OF the
beds it should be scratched over.

A Kiss Made His Fortune.

A kiss once played an impor tnn'
part in the life of the famous Belgian
statesman. Frere-Orban. In his youth
tue future Minister was poor student,
bearing the simple name OF Frere.
He had great difficulty in earning
enough money to keep him at the 1ni-
versity till he was ready to pass his
examination in the department OF law.
The young man fell in love with q
Fraulein Orban, the daughter Of
wealthy and aristocratic family, who
opposed his suit. -,
"If you pass your examination well
tomorrow" said Fraulein Orban on
the eve of the trial to her lover,
.scome to the theatre and to the box
in which / shall be sitting with my
parents"
"Will they allow me?" asked the
student.
81 shall see to that" was the de-
termined young woman's answer.
Frere was successful and entered
the box in the evening happy but
frightened. The pretty girl. as soon
as he had crossed the threshold, stood
up, rushed toward him before word
was spoken, and kissed him heartily
on the lips. The astonished parents
were soon informed of the significance
| of the kiss by the daughter. AS many
other people had seen the young girls
action, the parents decided 20 make
the best of it and accepted young
Frere as a son-in-law on condition
that he add Orban to his name. This
he did as matter of course and made
| it famous. New York Tribune.

ing should be done early enough in

from Vancouver for Yokohama I'M
less Informed OF delay in the departu of
the plenipotentiaries. The JapaneGu Gov
eminent has been advised of the appoint
ment, and its Minister in this city has ex-
pressed his satisfaction with it. Mr.. Foster
desires to have it understood that he goes to
Japan purely In a private capacity, as an ed
wiser OF the Chinese plenipotentiaries. He
has no authority to represent or speak for
the Government of the United States"
Mr.. Foster said, when pressed for further
information, that he had nothing further to
impart to the press. Mr.. Yen Shing Ho,
Secretary of the Chinese Legation, declined
to express an opinion on the subject. At
the Japanese Legation it was announced
that all the members who talked English
were spending the evening out In official
circles the announcement was taken to mean
that from now until the peace negotiations
are formally begun there would be COM
plete suspension of all hostilties between
the armies of Japan and China.
Tho immediate effect of Mr.. Fosters ap-
pointment will be to delay the beginning Of
the peace negotiations. State Department
officials had been confident from Minister
Denby's dispatches that the Chinese
representatives were already on their way
10 Japan, and it was their understanding
that the formalitieS for peace would be
concluded as rapidly as possible the pre-
liminaries having been practically arranged
in advance through the good offices Of
Ministers Dun and DENLY. Mr. Fosters mis-
sion, however, Is taken as an indication that
the Chinese expect to gain more favorable
terms from japan than has hitherto been
considered probable. AS Mr.. Foster did not
intend to sail for more than week, and as
the voyage across the Pacific will consume
two weeks more, nearly month must elapse
before the peace Negotiations are fairly be-
gun.
1t is likely that one of the first things the
commissioners will do when the peace ne
gotiations have been begun will be to an
nounce an agreement for an armtstice pend
ing formal settlement. Japan's commits
sioners in the peace proceedings have not
