THE OMAHA FAIR.

some Queer Features of the Coming
Trans Mississippi Exposition.
Among the curious features of the
Trans Mississippi exhibition, to open
at Omaha in June, will be represent
tation of our American Indians. The
idea, writes Frank q. Carpenter, is to
have the government send here 10 In
dams Of each tribe, and to have each
tribe have its own little camp or In
dian village, so that by walking through
this exhibit one can get knowledge
of the Indians of the United States.
These Indians will have their feast
days. They will go through their yari-
Gus games, and the show will he both
instructive and interesting. Such a
thing has never been attempted in any
other exhibition. IL will probably he
carried on by the government, aud
will form part Of the general show,
40 that there will he no extra charge.
The nearness of many Of the reserya-
tions to Omaha will make this part of
the exhibition cost comparatively lit
tie. At the same time the government
will probably send its wonderful col
lection of models, showing the In
dians engaged in their various occupa-
tons, which may form part of this
special exhibit.
Among the other queer things to be
shown will be Daniel Boone's cabin.
This will be brought from Missouri
and will he rebuilt here. After Boone
left Kentucky he moved to Missouri,
and there spent his last days. There
will be a representation of the Eygp-
tians OF the Soudan and other shows,
something after the fashion Of the
Midway Plaisance of Chicago. A day
in the Alps will be the title of de-
partment showing life in Switzerland.
This viii be made up of real people,
of paintings and scenic effects built up
to represent the reality. The Alps
and their glaciers, the tourists climb.
ing the mountains, etc, will all be
shown. Then there will be shows de-
picting life in the West of the dime
novel description, or Of the Buffalo
Bill order. Shows containing Indian
massacres, such IA re-enactment
of the Custer massacre of 1877, and
scenes of scouting life as they form
erly took place in the West A repre-
sentaton of mining at Cripple Creek
will be given, depicting life in the
mining camps and also other queer
features, such as the Sherman UNI
brella, in which passengers are sent
flying around circle in car which is
raised to height of 800 fleet above the
earth.

TERRAPlN CULTURE.
An Expert Talks EntertaIningly About u
Profitabl Industry.


, Profitable Industry.
Mr.. James 9. Tawes, the state fish
commissioners for the Eastern shore,
lives in Crisfeld. He is an active
and progressive business man, and
unusually bright and intelligent. He
has spent his life as de der in marine
productions, such rs fish, crabs,
oysters, and terrapin, and is alert to
note anything affecting that industry.

the subject OF restoring the supply Of

Tawes is Of opinion that they can be

state the supply may easily be main.
tanned.
The cause OF the rapid decline in
the quantity Of the terrapin is thought
by the natives 10 be due TO the destruc.
ton Of the terrapin eggs. As they
lay only in high, sandy places, scores
of people in the laying season patrol
the sandy beaches daily in search OF
these eggs, aud carry them of to be

Most Northern Hotel In the world.

The most northern hotel in the
world is on the inhospitable shores Of
Advent bay, where it washes the west
coast of Spitzbergen. Tourist Hy-
then" Tourist hotel is the name Of
the remote establishment. It's season
is necessarily short, extending from
July 10 to August IL, but il extends u
hearty welcome to the few venture
some travellers who have the temerity
to seek its shelter. II has accom-
modations for thirty guests. II is an-
nounced that the increase Of travel To
the gate of the Arctic regions has
made the establishment Of q postoifice
in the hotel necessary feature. The
hotel is in an appropriate latitude Of
rs degrees - minutes, or five hundred
miles further north than Hammerfest.
Probably better idea Of the situation
may be gained from the statement
that the late quarters Of the Jackson
Harmsworth expedition in Franz Josef
Land were hardly more than one hun
dred and fifty miles nearer the pole.
The building naturally is unpreten-
tious in appearance, being only one
and one-half stories high, with q
diminutive porch at the front. As q
matter OF course, it is built Of wood.

Where oats are sown early in field
that is infested with Canada thistles,
the latter will often blossom and bear
seed before the oats are ready to be
harvested A Canada thistle in bios
som will ripen its seed if the whole
stalk is cut and allowed to dry with it.
Fortunately, the Canada thistle will
send up its spires for blossoms several
days before the oats begin to head out.
1t is easy then to go through the field
and with long, sharp knife Top off the
heads of all the thistles which will
tower six or eight inches above the
oats. The work must be done within
two or three days, as the oats head
out very quickly after the thistles, and
both must grow together until the har-

In view Of the comfort which comes

This Is worth Considering.

Experiments recently made at the
Michigan Experimental station show
that about four times as much feed is
obtained from a meadow allowed 10
mature hay as from field pastured. In
soiling. the difference would probably
not be SO great, owing . the fact that
the grass. or peas. or alfalfa. or what
ever is grown for the purpose, is cut

KEEP FENCES TIGHT.
A Good Part of the Injury to stock
from Barbs IL Due Almost
Altogether to Neglect.

One of the most common causes Of
breachy animals on the farm is poor
fences, and we may go further and say
that a good part of the injury to stock
from barbed wire fences. is due to a
poor condition Of the fence. The
wires get loose and sag down, and
stock get tangled mp in them and in
jure themselves much worse than they
would If the fences were kept up prop
erly Low tumble down fences are a
constant temptation to stock to
break over, and once they get started
it will be much more difficult to re-
strain. The safest plan in all cases is
to keep the fences in good condition.
especially those around the pastures.
If the stock are to be changed con-
stantly from one pasture or field TO
another, provide good gates. as lay
ing the fences part way down and
compelling the animals to jump over
what is left up is giving them the first
lessons in jumping or becoming
breachy. If an animal seems inclined
to be breachy, get rid of it as soon as
possible, as one mischievous or breachy
animal on the farm will soon teach
the greater part of the others to be
like them. With wire fences properly
built, care being taken TO have strong
corner posts well braced, it is not
much work to keep them in good con-
dition. But no matter what kind Of
fences there may be on the farm it is
good plan to go over them every few
weeks and see that they are kept in
good reDair-Prairie Farmer
