W. r. Draper says that an experiment
of much value was attempted among the
Cheyennes in Oklahoma not long ago. An
Indian agent wished the schoolhoys to
milk cows for him and agreed TO give to
each one who MIXED for three months a
aice calf Fifteen boys started, but they
were so riGiculed by the older men Of the
tribe that y of them gave it up. Three
won the calves. aud the pride of being
owners of cattle served as quite an as
sistance in getting other Indian children
to try.
After a year y boys had won calves
and the agent asked them to plow corr
for him, agreeing to give them all tn,
corn they could grow. Ten boys volun
teercd to grow corn. and they actually
raised 5000 bushels. which was sold ant
afterward converted into 81 head OF
steers. Each steer was branded with al
individual brand chosen by the boy
owner.
This made them prouder than ever ano
more Industrious, Every boy at thu
agency wanted 10 go to work at once, an,
as a result Of that experiment the Chey
ennes are the most industrious farmer
Of any tribe so recently on the warpath.

John Wesley Was saved.


The parsonage at EpwOrth, England, is
on fire in the night, and the father rushed
through the hallway for the rescue of his
children. Seven children are out and
safe on the ground. but one remains in
the consuming building. That one awakes
and, finding his bed ON fire and the build
ing crumbling, comes to the window, and
two peasants make a ladder of their bod
les, one peasant standing on the shoulder
of the other, and down the human ladder
the boy descends-JOhn Wesley. If you
would know how much depended on that
ladder of peasants, ask the millions of
| Methodists on both sides of the sea. Ask
| their mission stations all around the
world. Ask their hundreds of thousands
already assembled to join their founder,
who would have persisted but for the liv-

HINTS FOR FARMERS


The farmer cannot afford to have
good tools and machinery on his farm
unless he can afford to have buildings
to protect them from the weather, and
he cannot spend an hour or day more
profitably than in cleaning them up
oyerhauling them and making repairs
on them before they are likely to be
wanted again, says American Cultiva-
tor. The plows, harrows and more ex'
pensive machinery left out Of doors
this winter will deteriorate In value
more than one-fifth. The loss would
more than pay the interest on the cost
Of Il good building to shelter them IN
and in many cases exceed the taxes on
the farm. If they were not properly
cared for when last used, take one OF
these fine days and gather them up
clean them, oil the ironwork and paint
all the woodwork. Never mind getting
a painter to do the job. Buy a can of
ready mixed paint and chefH brush.
Use any color that you like, but use it
freely, not as an ornament, but as a
preservative Of the wood, as the oil Is OF
the iron.
