WHY MAKE A TREATY?
T0o-Qua- Stee Denies the Accusa-
tionof Being a Cynic.

Q
dated May Both:
'And so Too-Qua-Stee wants no
treaty at all. Well. well, we'll He
must be like Diogenes who went
about at high noon with a lantern
looking for ian honest) man. On an
other occasion he told Alexander ihe
Great that all he wanted was 10 be
let alone, that he would be satisfied
IL Alexander would get out OF his sun
shine so that he could mend the tub
he aived in. Our Too-Qua-Stee must
-}ee such a cynic.. He fluids no good ia
any treaty plaD.'
Friend Leader ought not to have
clipped the story. have taken
the liberty TO restore the classic
text by using The above psren-
thesis.
But why should he call me a
"cynic?" Am | to be recorded as
doegish simply because my con-
science happens to be so shaped
as to render it impossible for me
TO "stand in" with crowd OF fell
lows who propose to >'agree" the
poor Chorokee people out of few
millions OF their last property?
The attempt to run parallel
between Too.Qua. Stee and the
Greek philosopher is. it seems to
me, an entire failure. Diogenes
lived among race of men who
were too morally depraved and
eordid to listen to the voice OF
reason; to defend the cause OF
truth among them. rational meth
DDS were unavailing, it required
the ferocity Of the dog-the same
kind of argument that accommo-
dates itself 10 the moral and in
tslIectuaI capacity of a pack of
wolves that are meditating an at
tack spon a cote of lambs.
= o, no, friend Leader, Too-Qua-
Stee is not "cynic;" he feels just
as kindly toward you and all the
rest of nankind-just as kindly as
an early spring morning, all frag-
rant with roses and sparkling
with dewjrops. But if you had
called him a fearless defender of
what he thought was right, and a
reckless denouncer of what he un-
derstood TO be wrong. you would
have come pretty near hitting the
nail on the head.
No; Too-qua-siee is not cynical;
he does not mean TO be. He has
not deemed the time as yet come
when ii would be in place to deal
in cyniciems. He has not entirely
lost faith in the character OF the
men who differ from him on mat
ters involved in our Indian ques-
tion. While it is true that no
treaty man has ever ventured to
assign, outside of his own breast,
any reason for making treaty,
Too-qua-stee still lives in hope
that, among the great host of in
telligent gentlemen on that side OF
the issue, there may yet spring up
some one vino is able to give an
ineligible account Of the faith
that il in him. A "still hunt" is
always cowardly and abominable.
Come, friend Leader, do us
favor; cant you speak for the treaty
men, and, for their benefit, point
out some honorable motive for
making a treaty? You can sneer,
Gf / do not misinterpret your
rnanner.) at Too. .qua-stee's recu-
sancy; please quit that kind of
business, and, with some sort Of
benevolent use OF sense, try to con-
vince the old Indian of his error
lead him by rational means to see
that it is all right, just, and holy,

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1901-12-14

Buttermilk should not be given in
large quantities to Il SOW that is nurs-
ing pigs, says Il writer in American
Swineherd. 1t may SO affect her milk
by causing it to curdle prematurely in
the stomachs Of the young pigs as to
cause the death of the latter. If fed
at all, the quantity should not exceed
forty pounds to a barrel Of swill. If
the buttermilk has been obtained from
creamery ard has became an acid be-
fore it can be fed, better avoid feeding
it. Buttermilk as obtained from cream
cry, even though fed to shotes or pigs,
when fed single and alone will, as a
rule, cause the evil results above al
luded to, and yet there is no food that
may be fed to such great advantage in
connection with other food as the by.
product of the dairy.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Mixing Soils.

We have learned that an admixture
of the blood Of our better breeds OF
stock upon the coarser breeds results
in better stock II not MS good as the
pure bred. says American Cultivator.
We have begun lately to learn the val
ue Of cross polarization upon our
fruits and plants. But one thing mas
been longer known than either of these,
among the practical farmers, and yet
has been less practiced-the mixing OF
soils-sand. clay and muck-to produce
a soil which will be really better than
either alone. A few cart their black
loan from the swamps to spread upon
sandy soils more because they have
dug 1t out in making bitches and need
to get it out of the way than to i'm
prove the upland. and, though they see
the benefit. they seldom do it again IN
til more bitches are made and seldom
except in cranberry growing carry SAND
to the black muck land; yet it would
pay to do both when it can be done in
the winter without neglect OF other
farm work.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Wood Eating Mules.

Mr.. S. A. Harris, a grocer Of Char.
lotte. lost mule and the better part of
n delivery wagon recently. The wagon
body was made Of poplar. The mule
was made Of just simply ordinary ev-
eryday mule. Tuesday night the mule
got out of the stable and set about a
task Of eating up the delivery wagon.
He ate the framework down to the
floor and might have finished the floor
if he hadn't stopped long enough to die.
Mr.. Cam King, one of the original
Two Orphans, was at the old court
house when he overheard Squire Max
well telling reporter about the death
Of Sam Harris mule. Il believe every
word of it." spoke up King, land will
tell you why. Mules will eat wood
when they are wanting forage and
can't get it (meaning no reflection on
Sam. At Staunton. Va. during the
war l was in charge Of the commssary
wagons. We had plenty of corn for our
mules. but for days they had had no
forage whatever. Well one night my
mules ate out five spokes from wag-
on wheel to which they had been tied.
That morning | got load of chestnut
rails to feed my mules on, and they ate
every enc of them. Not Il mule died.
