Ri.eh.rt,s Indian Pictures.

In the summer of 1898 the Government
Indian Bureau invited all tribes OF In
dams in this country to send delegates
to an Indian congress, and they gathered
from far and near with their ponies and
tepees and gaudiest trappings in the ex-
position grounds at Omaha. Never be-
fore had there been and never again will
there be such gathering. There were
about FIVE hundred Of them, some partly
civilized, but the greater portion pictur-
esque in original ysavagery. Strange as
1t may seem at this late day many of the
Indians declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multitudes
OF white men there were or how hopeless
1t was to try to stand against them. This
was probably the last time that so COM
p,ete and spectacular view Of the North
American Indianlwill be possible. and
those who had Nthe privilege of witness
ing it arey to be counted fortunate. At
the time OF the Indian congress a promi-
nent photographer obtained permission
to take the photographs OF the most noted
chiefs present and, succeeded In obtain
ing a collection which never will be
equaled. Mr.. Rinehart, the photogra-
pher, copyrighted all these pictures and
placed in a few art stores some hand-col-
ored proofs which, Notwithstanding their
high price, sold at once, and these Indian
pictures have become the fad Of the year.

How to keep potatoes sound and in
good condition until planting time or
even later Is matter that causes farm
ers anxiety should the weather be vari-
able in winter. A Kansas farmer tried
the experiment of putting his potatoes
in an alright chamber and burning
sulphur therein for few minutes until
the fumes of the sulphur filled the
chamber, which was then closed for half
an hour. The potatoes may then be
placed in bins In cool place. He found
that the sulphur fumes prevented
sprouts from growing, destroying all
disease, such as scab, and the potatoes
were as sound and attractive in appear
ance as those bought for seed. He also
found that they terminated ahead Of
others planted alongside and made. a
much stronger growth. He tested with
only a few bushels, being afraid of in
jury to the potatoes, but recommends
to farmers to try the plan with a few
bushels and compare with some not SO
treated. IL tight barrel is used 1t may
be filed three-fourths to the top, sui

throwing piece Of carpet over the top
to prevent leaking Of the gas. There
will be enough oxygen in the barrel to

pose. Every half hour the barrel may
be emptied and more potatoes used.

Trapping Hen Hawks.

Wherever there is low shrubbery
around the house hens with broods of
chickens will naturally seek that, less
for the shade than as protection
against depredators which might swoop
down and carry off a young chick, to
be torn to pieces and eaten. The hen
hawk usually finds some place where
he can watch the brood unobserved,
and make his seizure before the hens
warning causes her little ones to run
for shelter. IL steel trap Is set on top
of a pole where it will be convenient
for the hawk to alight he will be very
quickly caught. The trap should be Sc
cured by rope or chain, so that the
hawk can not fly Off with the trap. In
this way the worst enemy of the poul-
try grower may be easily and cheaply
disposed OF.

Care of the Peach Trees.

Last year 1T was made known that
the fruit buds on peach trees could be
retarded in opening by "whitewash-
ing" and last spring the results were
very satisfactory. The trees are
sprayed in December. with three sub
segment sprayings in order to keep the
trees whltewashed. The whitened buds
will remain dormant until April. but If
not sprayed they may open in February
or March. The cost is about 10 cents
per tree. When whitewash was used
80 per cent of the buds passed safely
through the winter, while only 20 per
cent. of those not whitewashed sur
viyed. Make the whitewash of four
parts water and two parts skinned
milk, with enough freshly Stacked lime
to have ii of n consistency that will
permit of spraying ii on the trees.

Spreading Manure.

The question of spreading manure in
the fall has been discussed for many
years, and opinions are divided as to
whether spreading should be done in
the fall or the manure retained In heaps
until the spring planting begins. Many
farmers believe in using manure In
hills, but the method of using depends
upon the quantity Of manure on hand.
If the land is level and there is no liza
bility Of the rain washing the manure
from the soil the work of spreading
may be done in the fall where blowing
has been done. The question Of when
to spread is one that each farmer must
determine for himself, as everything
depends upon the conditions on the
farm.

Wood Ashes for strawberrie-.

Wood Ashes for strawberries.
There are conflicting reports on the
value Of wood ashes as a strawberry
fertilizer. This is because the soil I'M
der test may be acid, alkali, or neutral.
Prof Wheeler has shown that the
strawberry Is partial to neutral soils.
Many soils are naturally sour or acid,
and. in spite of all we can do, straw
berries will not succeed on them till
the acidity is neutralized by the appli-
cation of wood ashes. In cases where
a soil is naturally neutral, a dressing
of ashes might make it clkali; hence
poor results would follow. Applied to
an alkali soil. ashes would but make
bad matters worse-for strawberries.
Hence the diverse experience of straw
berry growers.-American Gardening.
