INDIANS INDIGNANT.

That meeting in grand and solemn council

by white settlers.
The public have been led to suppose that
steps had been taken to effect the arrest

the Indians that nothing has been done and
that they do not expect that further no.

Lieut. Gen. schofield says that the de-

HARD COUNTRY ROADS.
Until We Have Them Public Prosperit.

Until We Have Them Public Prosperity
IL Bound to Suffer.
At this time Of the year we can APP
preciate good roads fully, and it is to
be regretted that we forget how incon-
venient bad roads are as soon rs the
roads that are bad get good in the
spring. A few weeks ago we had occa-
sion to drive four miles into the coun-
try In northern Ohio, where the roads
get frightfully bad on occasion, and
although we had fairly good team
and light buggy, the best time we
could make was to drive the four miles
in an hour and a half. When we ar
rived at our destination the team
showed the effects of the hard drive
very plainly, though they had not been
driven off walk. A week ago, in
southern Ohio, we saw a team trotting
along hitched to wagon on which
was 5000 pounds of hay. They have
good roads in southern Ohio, or rather
southwestern Ohio, and they derive
the benefit from them. They cost
tidy sum to make, but now that they
are made the people benefited would
not return to the barbarous mud roads
of former years for any consideration.
The costliest item of expense to the
farmers of this country is the loss they
sustain from impossible roads. There
has been much agitation on the subject
and it is having its effect, but until
something is done to improve the con-
dition of the roads Of this country its
prosperity will suffer to an enormous
extent Land in a county where the
roads are good is worth twice as much
us in a mud road county, and the farm
ers of the country could not pay taxes
for any purpose that would make great
err direct returns Good roads are
necessary to perfect civilization, and
that means that we shall have them
some time in the not distant future

rhe Size Of poultry rloek..

Large flocks of poultry are kept az
successfully as small ones, provided
the conditions under which they are
kept are the same But they must
have proportionatc amount Of space
and of care. To obtain the latter they
must be divided up into families and
become individuals instead of aggrega-
tions. This is essential that the eye Of
the master may see to the welfare Of
each, and in any cases of lice or disease
may be quick TO detect the trouble and
apply the remedy. This is more read
lily and cheaply done in the early
stages, and when but few have been
exposed to its communicating influence.
Where these points are properly con-
sidered, large numbers Of birds can be
handled successfully, but dire failure
is certain to await the one who at
tempts to ignore them. 1t has been
proved over and over again that poul-
try, like most other living things, can
not stand overcrowding, and that indi-
vidual attention Is as necessary To
chickens as to children. Rural World

ELECTRIC WEED KILLER.
Its Inventor Claims to Havo brought II
Down to Practical Shape.

Its Inventor Claims to Havo brought It
Down to Practical Shape.
The electric weed-killer, which was
experimental upon some time ago with
varying results, is said to have been
brought down to practical shape. The
device was intended originally for tho
destruction of grass and weeds along
railroads. 1t is now proposed to ex-
tend its application to land covered by
noxious weeds, such as the Canadian
and Russian thistle, cookie burrs and
the like. 1t is expected to he especially
valuable in the destruction of plants of
the thistle tribe, in which the root
must be destroyed in order to annihi-
late the weed. 1t Is claimed that tho
use of the electric weed-killer will re-
duce the cost of keeping railway lines
clear of vegetation from $40 to $50 per
mile per year. The operation of the
device is based on the varying con-
ductivity of vegetables; the mora
moisture they contain the less re-
sistance they offer to the current. Tho
apparatus consists of an alternating
generator mounted on car, producing
electricity ut 1000 volts pressure, and
stepped up" to frop G,000 to $4,000
volts, according to thekind and quality
of the vegetation TO be destroyed. The
current, after being raised to the re-
CURED voltage, is conducted through
series of fine wires or "brushes" to the
tops of the weeds or grass; the other
side of the current being made through
the wheels of the car to the ground.
The current leaps from the suspended
brush to the weeds, and passes through
them to the ground, thus completing
the circuit. The current traverses tho
entire length of the plant, from the
topmost leaf to the roots, rupturing its
cellular tissue and completely destroy
ing it. The root Is generally affected
more than the rest of the plant, from
the fact that it contains more moisture
In many cases the current, in passing,
heats the plant to such an extent that
it cannot be held in the hand. 1t is
said that the apparatus can be quickly
equipped, and ut no great expense
