FARM, STOCK AND HONE,

NEW CoMER-We do not know who
invented the Russian thistle.
j. A. G.-Dressed poultry is the only
breed we know of which is warranted
not to root up your garden patch.
OLD T1MER-A light tap on the head
with a camp axe is the surest method of
killing the fin de steele bed bug. No, its
bite is not always fatal.
WIlL1E-The common barbed w;ra
fence of today will not keep cut worms
out of your potato field. We think it
would be a waste of time and money to
erect it for that purpose.
HoRsEMAN-If your horse has eaten
up the two-by-fours in his manger. it is
a sign he is in need of solid food. Have
you tried oats? If not, break them
gently to him, at first, or he may expire
from the shock.
PouLTERER-Eggs whose age is uncer-
tain should be opened with a cork screw.
=. The active principle of the ones YOU
found in the nest under the wagon box
was undoubtedly odor, which sometimes
collects in large quantities, and waits
patiently to be liberated.
RURAL1sT-If you have trouble in
Keeping summer boarders, put them on
ice. We do not see why you should not
be able to keep ooarders, if you keen
butter, eggs, and other perishable arti-
Giles. Rubbing them plentifully with
rock salt might be beneficial.
RUsr1o-By a judicious elevation Of
the bottom of the boxes, your straw
berry pitch may be made highly profit
able and q source OF great amusement to
your customers. The amusement will
consist in searching for the Strawberries.
which is a very thrilling sport.
G.A.-lf your COW is dry, 1t is a sign
you should water her. 2. If she has free
access t the spring, a certain amounto of
the water will get into the milk in a nat
ural way. You should not endeavor to
improve on this plan. If nature had in
tended the milk to have more water in
1t, she would have provided each COW
with an individual pump for that pur
pose.
X. i. C.-Put the butter to wedding
the corn, and give the hired man a vaca-
ton. This will tone down the butter and
tone up the hired man. The great trou.
ole with too many farmers is that thew
work the hired man until he is a wreck.
and unable to do the chores properly,
while the butter is kept confined in a
narrow place, until it's hair grows long.
and it becomes SO full of pent up energy
that it is unsafe to turn it loose in the
barnyard. Activity and muscular
strength are not absolutely essential to
good, saleable butter. In fact. the short
haired and modest style of butter is
much more popular. What you need is
a less athletic quality of butter and a
more muscular style of hired man.

considerable Experience with Indians,
says that the ooly way to ~civilize 'em Is
to take all the children-say about 7
years of age-and send them east to be
raised among the white people and
taught the ways OF civilization. Natur-
ally enough, he says, there will come up
a howl against such alleged brutality in
tearing the offspring from their parents.
but 1t appears to be the only true way to
discipline Indians. They are attached
to their papooses, particularly if they
are male children, and can be made more
tractable and peaceable if they are
separated from their little ones for
awhile. There are not more than a
quarter of a million Indians, bucks,
equaws and papooses in the United
States today, and their condition, instead
of getting better under government care
and fostering Is rapidly growing worse.
Indians have no regard whatever for
putting anything aside for the future.
1t is n of their laws that a wlgwam
and its contents must always be open to
all corners. There is no inducemeut for
an Indian to look ahead, for he has been
taught from infancy that he must share
his belongings with the other members
of his tribe, no matter how lazy or in
dolent they may be. Should it be de-
termlned, however, that the children Of
the red men should be sent east and
kept among the whites, one generation
would witness a marked improvement IN
their condition. Under existing con-
ditions all the good conferred upon
indian children is nullifed just as soon
as they go back to their reservations and
settle among their people.

In another column will be found a let
ter from a convict at the state peniten-
tiary who laments the attitude of the
world toward the discharged convict,
and asks that some kind of a bureau be
arranged for the providing of honest
labor for those ~convicts who want to do
better. While the proposition is a hu-
mand one, and might work much good
in some cases, yet it is probable that no
mar vino really wants to improve his
condition, be he convict or not, will be
deprived of or at Il loss for an oppor.
tunity. It is a fact, although to be re-
GREETED, that in too many cases, the in
stincts of crime among men who have
been convicts are too strong to be re-.
sisted. Not long ago, upon the discharge
of a prisoner from the pen, a position
was secured for him by the warden.
He worked about three z eks, quit, went
to jamestown, and to work there, Sc
cured a copy of his employers signature,
forged it toa check, aud skipped with
the proceeds of his CRIME. There are
many such instances as this to demon
strate that a great number of criminals
are such by instinct and desire, and not
from necessity. There are, of course,
criminals confined IN penitentiaries. who
have fallen through combinations of un-
fortunate circumstances, and these, who
sincerely desire to do better. will find
that the helping hands are not so rare,
as to the writer of the article referred to
seems to think.

In the Nelson County Observer, Con-
gresham johnson outlines his policy on
finance and the tariff. II am not in
favor of the free coinage of silver at the
present ratio by the United States alone,'
he says, land l am opposed to a single
gold standard. I favor both gold and
silver as standard money at a ratio that
can be fixed by international agreement,
il that can be obtained, or under such
restrictions and such provisions to be de-
termined by legislation as will secure the

CRANE & Co., manufacturers of pipe
fitting and brass goods at Chicago, have
announced a 10 per cent. increase in
wages today. The increase affected 1900
men. The firm announced that the great
improvement in it's own business within
the last few months and the general
business revival justifes higher wages.
This will be discouraging to pops and
free silverites.

matter, and to understand that the way
to combat the enemy is to bring all the
best thought and experience in the
country to bear on the subject.
The association has composed a circu.
lar addressed to the farmers. Ten thous-
and OF these circulars have been pro-
vided, and are being sent out as rapidly
IS a couple Of boys, whose services are
contributed by one of the firms in the
association, can mail them. And first of
all it was necessary to get the names of
10000 farmers. To secure these the
county treasnrers in the various coun-
ties in Minnesota, the Dakotas and other
states known to be infested by the this
tie, were addressed, and the promptitude
With which the replies and lists of names
came in shows that the people are fully
alive to the necessity of doing some
thing. The circular tells of the objects
of the association. It is to be incor-
porated and will be open to all farmers:
its members are to cooperate in devisirg
means for fighting the pest; no member
ship fee is to be charged, but some pro-
vision will be made later for paving the
small operating expenses. Then the ap.
pearance and nature Of the thistle is
pointed out so that 1t may be identified.
1t is pointed out that one ordinary plant
will produce from 10000 to 10000 plants
the next year, and energetic measures
must DE taken at once if it is to be
stamped out. It has hourished on the
steppes of Russia for centuries, and is
fast taking hold of the prairies Of the
northwest: if something is not done at
once the work of eradicating the thistle
will be enormously increased. Finally,
the recipients of the circulars are re-
qnested to furnish their views and ex-
periences to the association.
