TEACHING WILD INDIANS.


Tn 1892 the "Seger" school was
built in Oklahoma Territory, among
colony Of Cheyennes and Arapahoes,
considered among the widest, most
backward and non-progressive of all
the Indians. Fortunately, says the
Chicago Record, the Superintendent
of the new school--Mr. John Seger-
had already gained their confidence in
another capacity, so that when they
were asked to put their children in
school they said that they would as
soon as they were weaned, And they
carried this out literally.
Many incidents are told illustrating
the splendid work which has already
been accomplished directly and in
directly by the school, for often the
influence in the community is equal
to the actual amount of education
within the school walls.

One of the girl pupils who entered
the school when it opened has had
quite q remarkable record. Having
no previous education and leaving her
really savage home for the first time,
she has demonstrated what education
is doing and will do for the red man.
There is system in nearly all the
Government Indian schools by which
those pupils who are both industrious
and frugal may earn money in the
sewing room, on the farm or in some
one of the schools other industrial de-
partments. OF course this must be
outside of their regular work. This
young girl, after taking regular
course as scholar, was judged capa-
BILE of receiving q salaried position. In
the course Of short time she filed
not one, but several, and worked in
the sewing room besides, Out of her
savings she bought wagon, harness,
team, organ, bedroom set and sew
ing machine, all in view of her pros
pective marriage to n young Indian to
whom she was engaged, and when
they were married she took enough
savings with her to build a home!
All this was accomplished in three
years time.

roughly, one-eighth of an inch TO the

The omnivorous qualities Of the
ostrich have hardly been exaggerated.
II swallows oranges, small turtles,
fowls, kittens aud bones. Mr..
Schreiner tells of one swallowing also
a box of peaches, tennis balls, several
yards of fencing wire and half q dozen
cartridges. One followed the work
men and picked up the wire as they
cut it. Most frequently the ostrich
does not follow each dainty separately,
hut collects several in its throat and
then swallows them all at once. Some
times it is strangled. Its windpipe
is then cut, the obstacle taken out,
and the wound sewed up, when all
goes well again. 49, Household Words.

Corn That Catches Coons.

Eight or ten years or so ago there
was lake near Morrilton covering
about 10000 acres. When the big
foods came two years ago an opening
was made by the surging waters which
carried off all the water of this lake
when the foods subsidized. The bed
Of the lake dried up and left the richest
soil the world ever saw. It is ten
feet deep, and nothing the River Nile
ever produced could excel it.
This year Mills and Haley have q
crop OF corn on about 1000 acres Of
this land. They sowed the corn
broadcast like wheat, and scores Of
'shoots" ore also loaded down.
''It is the most remarkable corn
crop ever produced in the world" de.
clared Professor Cox, and to make the
story even more interesting, he ended
it by declaring that "coon" was
caught between the stalks, and, being
unable to extricate itself because they
were so thick, was killed by those
who came upon it. Little Rock ARK. J

Bran For Poultry.

Bran lis excellent for poultry and
,ne point in favor Of bran is that II
contains much larger proportion Of
lime than any other cheap food derived
from grain, and as the shells of eggs

That food rich in lime be provided. II
tnay be urged that the use OF oyster.
hells will provide lime, but IL will be
5ound that it is the lime in the food
that is most serviceable. because il is
in n form that can be better digested
and assimilated than carbonate of lime.
Glover is also rich in lime, and when
q mass OF cut clover and bran is given
the fowls they will need no oyster
shells or other mineral matter as o
source from which to provide lime for
the shells of eggs. Do not forget that
in summer, however, the use of oil
kinds of foods should be made with
judgment. If the hens have free
range give no food at all as long as
they are laying, but If they begin to
fall off let bran be leading ingredient
Of the foods allowed. Tn winter the
bran and clover Is even more essen.

Angora Goats.

The following was written for the
Breeders Gazette by j. r. Standley,
Of Taylor County, Iowa: Pure bred
Angora goats are scarce. For killing
brush aud weeds the grade goat is aa
good as pure-breds. Grades are pro.
cured by using pure-bred bucks on
common goats. The first cross makes
but little hair--about three-quarters
Of pound; the second cross about one
and half to two pounds; the third
cross about two to three pounds while
the fourth or fifth cross is for hair
about as good as aspure-breds. Any one
desiring to make goat breeding bust.
ness for profit should buy grade does
and pure bred bucks and continne to
breed to pure-bred bucks. The An.
CORA goat-breeding business is much
the same as the cattle or hog business
as regards blood. High grade COWS
or sows, il bred to full-blooded sires,
are about as good sas pure-breds for
beef or pork, but to breed TO grade
sires is to 60 backward instead of on
and mp.
The pure-bred Angora varies much
in weight of fleece, running all the
way from two and half to ten pounds
per head Of course these are ex.
tremes. A good average fleece is four
to five pounds. The hair is at this
time worth about fifteen cents to forty
cents per pound this is grade hair; |;
pure-bred hair is worth from twenty.
five to forty cents.
Angora goats mature about the same
time as sheep and require much the
same treatment. They breed about
the same-the time of CESSATION is the
same. The weight for grown does is
about seventy to eighty pounds-some
weigh more and some less. High.
grade wethers attain weight of 16O
pounds often and bunch of choice
ones will clip seven TO ten pounds of
hair on an average each.
The Angora goat in fleece pays about
twenty per cent. more than sheep ,and
for cleaning qualities there is no com.
parison between them
Angoras and sheep do we'll together
and never cross breed, They do not
do well together in winter (the goats
fight the sheep, but when at pasture
they are all right. The goats eat
leaves and weeds in preference to
grass, thus removing the shade and
improving the pastures.
Angora goats are grown largely in
Southwestern Texas, in New Mexico,
California and Oregon. There have
been about 10000 distributed in Iowa
this season.
The meat OF the Angora is by many
thought to be nicer than mutton. The
wethers or does il fat sell better than
sheep, for the reason that the meat is
equal and the pelt is worth much
more. Angora goat pelts taken in No
vember or December are worth from
81 to $3.50 each and are being worth
more every year as people learn their
Ises.
