Having been captured by a detached
party, it was their duty to hand me over to

my capture would result in his going no
farther west. All were agreed that they
had accomplished big thing in capturing
me, and that was sure to die at the stake
and furnish plenty of amusement. After a
ride of about 20 miles we came upon a
party of 60 warriors under command of
Black Fox, a subchief of distinction, who
had been trying to get the Cheyennes to
join with him in an attack on Fort Wal
lace. As the party was ready to move l
was sent 10 miles to the northwest to a
village of about 90 lodges, hidden away in

On the morning of the third day five
warriors arrived with an army wagon

safety in Sheep.

The farmer finds the sheep in
dustry his safest investment. When
all other farm products fail to yield
their average revenue he seeks
solace in the fact that in all emer-
gencies the flock can be depended
upon. The farmer never fails to
shear his sheep, and his bank ac-
count, as result, shows com.
Portable balance in his favor.
The farmer looks to his sheep to
pay off mortgages.
When his crops fail, he feels sure
that his clip will find ready cash
market.
He rests assured that wool will
not deteriorate by storage, should
he desire to hold it for better prices
He has nothing to fear, every
thing to gain, ard nothing to lose.
He feels confident that decline
in the sheep industry is almost i'm
possible.
He does not worry about finding q
ready market for his mutton.
Sheep while yielding a COM
Portable income improve the soil.
AS a general rule farmers who
stock their farms with sheep find
after brief experience that theil
money could not have been more
safely invested had they placed il
in the strong vaults of bank.

For the Farmer.

During the winter is the farmers
best time to read and study about
his business.
The first thing a young farmer
should do is to adopt strict business
methods. Count the cost and the
loss or profits on every branch of in
dustry, even the hen.
How many of the tools are dull or
implements rusty cannot be known
without an examination. Repairs
should be attended to now, before
spring opens, and, as tools and i'm
pliments that are in good order will
facilitate work, 1t is important that
this matter receive attention.
Grinding and cooking the food for
stock has always given good re-
suits, but the objection is to the eX-
pense. The cost of fuel in cooking
is an item, and the labor of grinding
is another. There are now, how
ever, grinding mills that do rapid
work, and in winter horse-tread or
sweep-pOwer may be used with
benefit to idle horses.
The man who grows a pig, whethe r
~ WV Aoii VI opiluSN anu lcJS Hllu
root hog or die" cannot expect
much profit. The pig is grown to
concentrate the marketable pro-
ducts on the farm. He is a grass
eater and an omnivorous creature,
and hence it is easy to supply his
wants, and they should be supplied
to his full capacity constantly.
1t is not necessary for a COW to
give only a small quantity of milk
in order to get rich milk. One can
use breed that is famous for large
yields of rich milk rather than get
milk and low yields. Every farmer
should look around him before pur-
chasing COW, and he should make
it his point to know about the breeds
and which of them will suit his pur-
pose best.
Just why the COW pea is not more
widely grown is hard to see, for il
certainly is one of the most valuable
legurhinous plants that we have for
restoring the fertility of the soil.
And as money crop they are not
to be despised, as the seed is gen.
orally as high as beans.-NatiOnal

HOW poultrr BrIngs PrOsperIty.

Poultry on the farm never received
so much attention as is now being
given to it.. Not so very long
ago those farmers who paid particu--
lar attention to poultry were looked
upon as being cranks and wasting
a lot of time on work that women
should be allowed to attend to-.
These men were wiser than their
generation, and to them the poultry
industy owes much. They built
good poultry houses, took care OF
the chicks, provided proper food,
and made money out of their tiocks,
and others, becoming convinced
that it pays to take good care OF
hens, followed in their footsteps, un-
til now the man who neglects his
hens is the one who creates remark.
There is no doubt that the hens
have helped many farmer during
the years of depression, and now
they are more profitable than ever
before.
1t is not necessary for the farmer
to start out as a poultry farmer in
order to make success of his
poultry, DuV tue one WIZ U6SlHS Ny
taking good care of the poultry he
already has will, before very long,
be looking after pure-bred stock, be-
cause he will want to get the great
est profit, and will become con-
WINGED that pure-bred poultry is
superior to any mOngrel stock he
may have.
One breed is enough for a farm,
and when all the hens look alike
the flock is much more attractive
than it would be if made up OF
mixed colors.
White Plymouth Rocks. Barred
Plymouth Rocks or White Wyan-
dottes are all good breeds for the
farmer. They are easily bred to
uniform color and are the best all.
around fowls we have. Brahmas
light and dark, Houdans, Leghorns
and Langshans are all good fowls
and are probably the best for the
farmer who gives good care to his
flocks.-Farmers Voice.

a squaw made ready to enter the lodge
with stout stick in her hand to give me
q beating. She had lost her warrior hus-
band and a brother only few days before
and wanted to take vengeance on me as
far as she dared. The two old men waved
her off, saying that Black Fox would have
me burned at the stake as soon as he ar
rived, but she insisted and grew furious,
and at length struck one of the sentinels.
This resulted in a row, which brought out
every soul in camp, and they were crowded
into the space between the kegs of powder
and my lodge when a tragic event hap
pened.
I think some of the boys took advantage
of tho row going on to break open pow
der keg, or perhaps in the scramble one of
the kegs was rolled into the fire. Be that
as it may, there was a sudden and tremen-
dous explosion or series Of explosions. The
noise was heard 20 miles away, and the
destruction wrought was something fear

Sheen Notes.

See that your sheep have plenty
of water, if you don't want them
stunted by suffering.
Scrub lamb rams should be quick
ly disposed of, and not allowed to
mingle with other sheep.
Mutton can be grown more cheap
ly than beef, sells for more per
pound, and is thought by many to
be safer meat, as less liable to dis
ease.
When sheep are being fed for the
market a moderately warm, dry
place is great advantage, and they
consume less food aud gain in
weight faster than if exposed to
cold.
Sheep should not be confined.
They should have a shelter where
they can go to when they wish. 1t
has been found by experiment that
sheep without any protection do
better than those constantly con-
fined. Those provided with both
shelter and open air get along
much better.

Turkey Nests.

The turkey should lay around the
house or barn. Fix some nests for
her in quiet corners and out-of-the-
way places; an old barrel turned
and straw put down has often
proved an inducement. IL there are
woods near, the turkey will probab-
ly choose to go there; she has been
domesticated less than 00years and
her wild nature asserts itself in lay
ing time. Eternal vigilence is the
price of turkey eggs. Do not be too
closely tied to house cleaning in
those days. Remember you are
working for the future. Your re-
ward will come later. Watch your
turkey well, notice the time of day
she is absent and the direction from
which she comes. When you think
she has been on her nest an hour or
more, take walk in that direction.
Then think where you would make
a nest if you were in her place. You
will find her in time. Gather the
eggs every day. Keep the oldest
eggs by themselves to set first and
the others in order.

Chicago. Jan. 6.

chicago, jan 6.
WHEAT-The openig in wheat today
was decidedly weak. May started at S9A
G90c, the put price. Practically the
only support received was the buying
against those puts, and the market as
consequence was in very wobbly con-
dition for a good part of the morning,
though but little more decline took place.
Most of the opening transactions were at
$3.50. It rallied to s0d9O1sc, then declin-
ed to $3.50 and reacted to 90c. Liverpool
was again very weak off about I'D at the
opening here, due. it was said. to free
offerings of Argentine wheat and to the
reduction of Russian railroad rates on ex-
port grain and -four. Paris was also
very weak. Domestic news was of both
kinds.
San Francisco reported a severe drought
and wheat prospects poorer, and the Ohio
state crop report made the winter wheat
condition g., a low one, although points
higher than on December 1. The Price
Current said wheat was well protected
by snow. Northwestern receipts were
375 cars, against $50 cars last week and
209 cars year ago. Chicago receipts were
As cars.
CORN-Corn was slow The opening
rallied slightly on buying by professionals.
Receipts were 511 cars. May opened AG3sc
lower at 2Ss4 @2S78c and advanced to 29c.
OATS-Oats were fairly steady with
light trade. The market sympathized
somewhat with the early wheat and corn
weakness. Receipts were 28S. cars. May
opened &c lower at 23c, sold at 227sQ29c
and reacted to 230231sc.

Why He is Not Bakers Secretary.

w. e. Sterne'S Brother Now Knows
Why He is Not Bakers Secretary.
The appointment of w E. Sterne as
United States marshal for Kansas has re-
called an interesting story in which his
brother, Beecher Sterne, figures. The lat
ter is employed in the war records di-
vision of the war department. He was
secretary of the Republican resubnissfon
state committee, which joined with the
Democrats in trying to elect Charles Rob
inson governor. the last time he was out
in politics. Beecher Sterne in that cam
paign became Intimately acquainted with
Senator Baker, who was opposing the
state ticket with the resubmissionists.
The campaign ended disastrously to the
ants, and young Sterne became Disguised,
took a swing into California, and landed
at Washington and secured the job he
still holds.
He was naturally very much interested
in the senatorial contest which resulted in
the election of Baker. One morning he
picked up the paper and saw ''Lucien Ba-
kerr had it. He gave shout that aroused
that part of the town.
Soon after breakfast he had wired con-
gratulations, and one time concluded he
would like to be private secretary. He
made application and received a note ac-
knowledging receipt. He had always been
on the very best of terms with Baker.
There was no hesitation. He felt that he
was in position to press for the job.
Naturally enough, he called on his bro
Their, W. E. Sterne, to help him. He
thought certain, his brother having taken
an active part for Baker, could land him.
After a number of letters and messages
had been fired at the state senator,
Beech discovered that he had no reply.
He wrote to friends in Topeka asking if
Billy was yet alive. He found that he
was; yet no answer. Deserted by a bro
Their and a chilly acknowledgements from
4 friend.
It never occurred to young Sterne that
BILLY was after big game-no private
secretary He did not think that Baker
had figured that he might set too many
of a family in places controlled by him.
The young man now understands it. He
is glad of it.
