Alaal.an INDIAN won, ami.

Writing Of the "Indian Women OF
Alaska aud Their Handiwork, " in the
Woman's Home Companion, Olive
McGregor says: "Thc huge express
sionless face of an Alaska Indian
woman shows but little evidence of
any ambition or ability to perform
even the simplest features of domestic
art, and yet the skillful and artistic
results OF the handiwork of these uu-
tutored aborigines is much sought af-
ter by tourists who visit their villages
during the summer. Moreover,
though the women are all fat aud
!azy-looking, their lives are not unin-
terrupted case, notwithstanding that
their needs are few. Abundance of
fuel is all about them, and food, which
with them is Synonymous with fish,
swims almost to their doors. But the
procuring as we'll as tho preparing of
this food is all accomplished by the
women. During the summer they
leave the villages and towns for the
islands in less frequented waters,
where they camp for weeks at time,
catching and curing the fish for winter
use, while the men lazily watch them,
or paddle the canoe, OF otherwise
amuse themselves.
"If an Indians wife is in i'll health
or too old to work, he marries anoth-
er younger wife, usually relative of
the first one, who is expected tp pro-
vide the food, while the first wife
cares for the house and children.
Fish aud berries furnishing almost
the only food OF these people, the
women have little scope or ambition
for developing culinary art, but in
matters of personal adoriment they
take keen delight. During the long,
dark winter they weave beautiful
blankets and baskets for their own
use and to sell. The blankets are
made from the strong rough wool of
the wild mountain sheep. Yet some
of these are as soft as silk, and in
beauty OF coloring and intricacy of de-
sign rival the Oriental rugs and hang
ings. 1t usually takes a woman six
months to complete one blanket, but
many Of them sell for prices ranging
from fifty to two hundred dollars.
The much-sought-after, genuine Chill
kat blanket is about four feet lor g
and two and one half feet wide at each
end, but as one side is pointed, the
center is foot wider than the ends,
and on this side is ornamented with a
ten-inch fringe. These are worn in
the dance, thrown around the shout
ders, with the pointed fringe side
hanging down. The design is ,gro-
tesque, consisting Of conventional
lied faces Of men and animals in pale
green, outlined with black on white

The ladies of Boston have protested
against the ordinance which forbids
them to wear hats in tho theatre on
the ground that sitting without any
head covering at all subjects them to
liability to catch cold. They desire
to have tho law amended so as to
permit them to wear small hats, which,
they declare, will not interfere with
the limo of sight Of any person. No
doubt these ladies mean well, but as
usual they are illogical. Let the
ordinance be amended so ns to mako
1t compulsory for tho ladies to wear
bonnets OF hats of small size whom
ever they go to any place Of amuse-
ment. That will settle the catching
cold question. Not even Boston
woman will consent to wear bonnet
or hat in her opera box. But il she
does not need il there she does not
need it anywhere-except for looks.

Horns on DomestIo Anlmai,.

All tho reason for horns ON any
domestic animal ceased when they
camc wholly under mans protecting
care. 1t was all right for the animal
to defend itself with horns while OK
posed to predatory animals, like wolves
and bears. When cattle run wild, as
they long did in the State of Texas,
and as they still do on the plains Of
South America, their horns constantly
increased in length aud formidable
ness. But under civilized conditions
there is no need for horns. In some
breeds they have already been bred
off. This will doubtless become moro
general, MS dishorning at least the
COWS has become quite general prac-
tice. Calves may be prevented from
ever growing horn by applying a
stick OF potash on tho head where the
horns would start, and removing the
hair, so that tho potash will make o
slight sore on the skin.

Sowing Peas and Oats.

For the northern section OF the
United States and south Canada, pos
sibly no forage crop is more valuable
than a mixture OF field peas and oats
seeded in the spring as soon as the
ground is in condition to be worked.
The common method of sowing is to
clear the ground, intended for the
crop, Of cornstalks or other rubbish,
SOW on The ground bushel OF pea
seed to the acre, then plow under to a
depth of ebout four inches. Before
the field is worked further SOW q
bushel and half per acre Of oats and
cover well with harrow, continuing
the work until the ground of the seed
bed is we'll fined and compacted. No
further treatment will be needed un-
til the crop is to be harvested.
Some farmers prefer to plow the
ground as for oats, then make mix
ture of tho seed in proportion to one
bushel of peas to Of oats and SOW
this, putting the seed down to a depth
Of about 81 to four inches. III the
ground is in first-class condition, this
can be readily done and possibly more
satisfactorily, but in early spring the
soil is usually wet and the method OF
sowing ON broadcast as first described
is best.
If this crop is wanted for the grain
particularly, allow the seed Of both to
mature, then cut, place in shocks and
thresh us any other grain crop. The
grain is ground to fine meal and is
/ then ready for the stock. II contains
a. large percentage of heterogeneous
material and is excellent for balancing
the ration. The crop is also an ex-
cellent one for soiling aud for this
purpose should be cut just before OF
just about the time the bloom begins
to appear. by sowing a number OF
T. Ids at different dates the feeding
period may be extended over several
months.
Mixtures of peas. oats and wheat in
any proportion desired, sown and har-
vested as described for peas and oats,
have been found valuable, particular
ly in sections where much attention
is given to furnishing animals for
critical markets or for securing high
grade dairy products. These crops
may be harvested for hay, in which
case they should be got when in full
bloom, or just little before, and
thoroughly cured. The difficulty with
this crop is that because of the thick
leaves and stems Of the peas, curing
is exceedingly difficult, particularly in
moist climate or during wet sea
son. II properly cured, however, the
resulting hay is as valuable as we'll
cured clover and is used on the same
basis. These crops are receiving
more and more attention aud every
farmer who raises stock should try q
small feld this season. Ameficau
