An Indian in Congress.

Remarkable progress has been
made among the Indian tribes in the
territory since visited them six years
ago." remarked Congressman Charles
Curtis yesterday. Mr.. Curtis visited
the Kansas, Usage and Pawnee Indians
for the purpose of securing informa-
ton that will be valuable to his COM
mittee in Congress-the House COM
mittee in Indian affairs-next winter.
Incidentally, he visited some OF his
relatives in that country.
"The Indians" he said, "are learn
ing to farm, though, of course, many
of them rent their farms to white men.
l found corn that will run as high as
sixty-five bushels to the acre on farms
cultivated by Indians or half-breeds.
"Those who rent their farms to
white men make good money. They
get So an acre for the land cultivated,
and usually reserve part of their farms
for their own use.
"In general, I found conditions
among the Indians improving, and
am glad Of it"
AS is we'll known in Kansas, Curtis
has Indian blood in his veins, and
takes lively interest in improving
the conditions of the Indians generally.
He has an uncle and second cousin In
the Indian territory who are half-blood
Indians, and are famous ranchmen.
They are known as Big Louis" and
Little Louis" Both are Papans, an
old French family. big Louis" is a
brother of the congressman's mother,
and is a man of wealth and influence
among his people. Little Louis" is
cousin of big Louis" They are about
the same age, and when they were
boys one grew much faster than the
other; hence their designations, big
and ''little.' Finally "Big Louis"
stopped growing, but Little Louis"
kept on, and now is the larger, and
weighs two hundred and sixty pounds,
while big Louis" needs an overcoat
to make him weigh full two hundred.
Mr. Curtis visited both. Big Louis
has dancing pavilion, modelled after
one he saw at an eastern resort. Every
Friday night he gives dance, and
hundreds of people attend 1t. He mas
a lemonade and cigar stand In connec-
ton with it, and entertains as well as
the best of the experts in this line

Storing Roots in Pits.

The proper way to keep all roots is in
out-of-door pits, and as much as possi-
BILE excluding air from them. Some
kinds Of roots, as turnips, rutabagas
and carrots, do not easily freeze, but
all are injured by exposure to the air.
When we grow potatoes largely we al
ways stored most of what were not
sold In the fall in pits. This Is especial
ly important for the potatoes required
for seed. While the ground was still
frozen we covered the potato heaps
with straw, so as to keep it frozen as
long as possible. Potatoes that can be
kept from sprouting until planting time
produce much the best crops.-Ex-
change.

The village resident soon comes to
find the wheelbarrow very indispen-
sable article. The cut, which Is from
the American Agriculturist, shows
how one village resident extemporizes
a hay rack out of his wheelbarrow
when desiring to get into the stable two
or three hundred pounds or so OF hay.
Narrow strips Of board are lightly tack
ed to the surface, as shown, and the
hay cart Is ready. 1t will surprise any
one to see the large quantity Of hay
that one can thus easily and quickly
wheel away from his grounds to the

FalI-Planted Trees.

As fall rains are coming on some care
is needed to trees lately planted Very
often the earth used to fill around the
trunk sinks away, leaving hollow,
which carries the rains down among
the roots. AS these in newly planted
trees are dormant during winter, this
water does them much injury. 1t is al
ways best to draw up earth around
newly planted trees. This is protec-
ton against attacks Of mice If the earth
is closely compacted. The earth should
be pulled away from the trees in the
spring.

Feeding for Milk.

Feeding the cows to increase the flow
of milk should not entail additional ex-
pense If the farmer uses judgment in
proportioning the various foods. II
grain, linseed meal and other concen
trated foods are given in excess, the d.
gestion may be impaired, and If hay Is
mostly given the animals will be COM
PEELED to eat large quantities of 1t to Sc
cure the desired nourishment. Foods
should consist of both concentrated and
bulky substances, regulating the pro-
portions according to the conditions
and circumstances.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1897-11-25
Grain Cheaper than Hay.

If given with enough hay or straw Or
cornstalks to distend the stomach,
grain is better feed than hay, because
more easily digested. In the coarser
fodder so much of the nutrition goes
to sustain animal heat or the processes
Of digestion, that comparatively little
Is left to make flesh or milk or fats.
The knowledge that some grain with
hay makes cheaper nutrition Is not
half so widely extended as it ought to
be. If it were, there would be better
demand for grain, and it would sell at
better prices

Corn Fritters.

Crate the corn, or with sharp knife
cut the kernels through the center and
with the back of the knife press out the
remainder. TO each cupful allow two
beaten eggs, a tablespoonful Of rich
cream or small piece Of butter, salt
to taste, and flour enough to make
rather stiff batter. Drop in spoonfuls
in hot fat, like doughnuts. Or make
the batter a tritie thinner and fry on u
griddle like pancakes.

Need Little Pruning.

Both lilac and weigela bear their
flowers on their young or green shoots.
and II pruned in autumn or winter the
bloom will be much reduced. These
plants need very little pruning, as a
rule, beyond cutting away any dead
wood or unnecessary branches, but IL
at any time It should be thought desir-
able to shorten or head back the
branches, the proper time for doing 1t
is Immediately after the plants have
finished their blooming.

Farm More Intensive1y.


Experience and necessity force
changes In methods that would not
occur but for the failure to secure profit
where no difficulty previously existed.
In England, where the system Of farm
Ing is on the intensive plan, dairymen
are abandoning pasture. They are dis
covering that more food can be grown
on the pasture land than can be Sc
cured from the grass and hay, and that
by a succession Of green crops they can
derive better foods than can be
had from grass. There is more labor
required, but the products are larger
and the profits greatly increased. Root
crops and soiling enable the English
to pay high rents, and the methods
they adopt are the result Of years Of ex-
perience. In this country dairymen
will find 1t to their advantage to grow
green food as well as grass, and utilize
roots as we'll also, as protection
against drought and unfavorable condi-
tons. To meet low prices for farm
products the crops on every acre must
be larger and also utilized In the best
manner

a SDecific for HuruS.

A Partisan doctor has discovered that
solution of one part picric acid to
seventy-five parts Of water will surely
and speedily cure the most terrible
burns and scalds, and recommends that
barrels Of the solution be kept in foun-
dries, ETC., in which workmen could be
immersed. The pain is instantly re-
moved, sores and blisters prevented
and cure completed in four or five
days.

Olive sandwiches is unique way Of
serving olives at teas and receptions.
Cut the flesh from the stones Of half
a dozen queen olives, chop it fine, add
to it a scant tablespoonful Of salad
dressing. Mix and spread on thin slices
Of buttered bread, form the sandwiches
and cut into small squares. Stuffed
olives are very appetizing served in this
way.

To Keep Blankets Fresh.

Blankets cannot be too frequently or
thoroughly exposed to the fresh air.
Even those made of the finest wool, if
constantly used without careful airing,
will cease to afford that delicious
warmth and to be the luxurious cover
ing that they are when new. When
washed they should be dried as soon
as possible, and the nap raised by GO
Ing over them with fine and short
toOthed wool card.

Fried oysters.

Take six eggs to each quart Of milk
and season according to taste. This
constitutes the batter. Then take the
oysters and put them in cracker dust;
next dip them in the batter and lay
them in bread crumbs, then put on a
hot pan, in which you must have
enough fat for them to swim. If the
pan Is hot enough two minutes Is suffi-
cient to cook them

Hints.

Hints.
Buttermilk will take out mlldew
stains.
Prints, If rinsed in salt water, look
brighter.
A drop of creosote will stop the
bleeding of a cut.
Rub spoons with common salt to re-
move egg stains.
Nutmeg grated into glass Of port
or sherry often cures neuralgia.
If your window glass is lacking In
brilliancy clean it with a liquid made OF
methylated spirits Of wine and whiten~
ing.
To renovate black lace dip a small
sponge in cold water or blue water and
damp the lace, pressing out with hot
iron over brown paper.
To remove stubborn rust spots from
steel put oil and quicklime on and
leave for several days. Then rub with
oil or rotten stone or Bristol brick.
1t Is said that strong solution Of
carboMc acid and water poured upon
ant holes will kill all the ants 1t touch
es. The survivors disappear and do
not return.
To remove white spots on vanished
furniture, dip a soft flannel in spirits
Of wine and rub the spots well. After
ward repolish the furniture with fur
niture cream.
1t is we'll to soak underf1annels that
have become hard from much perspira-
ton in a weak solution of soda and
water for half an hour before washing
them in the regular manner.
After a broth has been skillfully
SKINNED, and still the little atoms Of
grease appear over the surface, lay a
piece of clean brown paper over the
top and the grease will cling to 1t.
Often only the whites Of eggs are re-
uuired for immediate use. The yolks
may be kept some time If they are put
into a small cup, covered with little
cold water and kept in cool place.
A loaf of cake that has got stale and
dry may be refreshed so as to seem
newly baked by putting it in a tin, Cow
ering the tin with another pan and
leaving the whole in a warm oven
about twenty minutes.
