INDIANS WANT VENGEANCE.
They Believe That One Of Their
Number Was Killed by White


.Marinette, Wis, Nov. 20. - It is
learned from Supt. John Burke Of the
Peshtigo Lumber company, that there
Iis great excitement among the Indians
on the headwaters Of the Eagle river
In the northern part Of Marinette coun-
ty over the disappearance of one of
the Indians, who has been missing for
a week. Charles Keshena, one of the
best known Indians In that part Of the
country, appeared at one of the Pesh-
Stigo company's camps Saturday and
said that his brother Indians were
greatly excited over the disappearance
Of one Of their tribe, and claim that he
was killed by some white hunter who
shot him by mistake, taking him for
deer. and then fed. They are search
ing everywhere for his body, and If it
is found it may go hard with some of
the white hunters in that locality. The
Indians firmly believe that he was
killed by white man and are de-
termined on vengeance.

LEAVE THEM ALONE.
some Reasons why Bees a.d Their
Hives Should Not BE Moved Dsr-.
ing the Winter. =

With the exception of taking hives
OF bees to- q cellar for the winter, bees
should not be moved during the win
ter. Their. location must not be
changed from fall to spring, either
short or long distances. The most
damaging change made is to change
for short distance, as for instance
few rods. Bees will not follow their
hive for even few feet away, unless
there are no other hives of bees near.
If there are hives near, the bees will
enter the nearest one, and in most
cases are promptly killed by the vis-
tied colony. This is frequently done,
and the result is that the colony il
greatly weakened by the change.
During late fall, winter and early
spring, the hives contain the least
number of bees, and if change 10
made at any of these times, it endan-
gers the loss of the colony by decreas-
ing the numbers 30 low, for nearly
all the old bees will So back to theie.
former location. On this account it ii
much safer to move long distances
not less than a mile, and farther is
better. When thus taken entirely
away from their former travels they
mark new location and all return
to it. A colony of bees may be taken
safely and without loss anywhere. if
the hive is moved a few feet each day
the bees fly, providing no other hive
is very near them, and they will thus
follow the hive to any required spot
we wish them to occupy. But it is
necessary that they take full fight
after each removal, and thus mark
the last location. If no other hive is
near, they may be moved farther at
time, when they are liable to follow
the hive.
This trouble will occur at any time
Of the year in moving bees. 1t may
lessen the number that fail to return,
if we close the hive and confine the
bees in it for day or two, and then
smoke them before letting them out.
When thus filled with honey, they
will to some extent mark the new
location and return to their own hive.

BUYING PURE BREEDS.
Fowls That Are Perfect 1. Every Re.
spect Command Prices That Seem
Extorti0nate. @

If you desire birds that will enable
you to compete at fairs, do not ex-
pect to buy them at small price.
If you wish to breed first-class exhi-
bition stock next season, do not be
afraid of the expense. 1t costs time,
money and skill to breed up aocks
to q high average, and the prices
usually asked are always extortion-
ate. If you are not particular about
exhibiting. and desire some strong,
vigorous birds that have no faults ex-
cept a twist of the comb or some
slight defect, for crossing on common
stock, let the breeder know it when
you write and he will try to accom-
modate you. Remember, no breeder
generally has two birds at the same
price. They are sold according to
quality. Therefore, be particular to
describe your wants, and do not ex-
pect the breeder to know your de-
sires. A fair hatch from 13 eggs is
seven-or one over half-though some
are satisfied with five. No breeder
can guarantee every egg to hatch.
He knows no more about them than
the buyer, but he should endeavor to
send eggs from vigorous stock. A
customer would be fortunate if he
got pair Of first-class standard
birds from sitting of eggs. Some
breeders do not get such pair from
dozen sittings. The customer is
responsible for the hen that sits on
the eggs, and her management while
on the nest. Some customers do not
know good birds when they see them,
and often complain ignorantly. The
breeder must depend on any state
ment sent him, without being able
to verify or deny it. Before COM
planning ask yourself at what price
you will sell the chicks should you
receive an order for them, and make
q comparison between their value
and their cost.-Farm and Fireside.

THE HENS IN WINTER.

Do not let laying hens eat snow.
A good night feed is parched corn fed
hot.
A large flock crowded in small
place will not do well.
A warm feed in the morning will put
hens in shape for days work.
Plenty Of warm water is as benefi-
cial to laying hens as to mich cows.
Cold winds and draughts will cause
roup. Keep the house dry and close.
Keep plenty of cabbages, beets and
other vegetables where the fowls can
pick at them at any time.
For frosted comb rub on a mixture of
two parts of glycerin and one part of
turpentine. A few hours later apply
sweet oil. This treatment will usually
restore the comb in few days, if be-
gun early.-Farm and Home.

Trained Ferret. ON Farms.


We are asked how to train ferret
to hunt rats. It needs no training.
It is natural for it to hunt rats. If
it is placed at the opening of hole,
it will enter it, and when it has
driven the rat out or killed it it will
come out of the hole and can be picked
up. What is called trained ferret
will do nothing more or less. All
ferrets, however, are not alike. Some
will hunt better than others. Some
will bite, and can hardly be broken
of the habit. But practically fer
ret is ferret, and is fearless hunt
er. These animals are exceedingly
valuable on farm that is infested
with rats.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Hens Delight in scratchinx.

When fowls have the run of the farm
they exercise principally by walking
and scratching. Even then the hens
spend much of their time in places
where they find scratching easy. That
they will do the same thing more read
lily in confinement is obvious, if the op-
portunity be given them. That this op-
portunity should be supplied is taught
by the experience Of every man that
makes poultry raising q business and a
success. Scratching has been termed
the vice Of hen, and it certainly takes
ON this form when the attempt is made
70 raise her and garden truck on the
same plot Of ground. This so-called
vice may be turned to great advantage
in the scratching yard, and this has
been done by thousands that success
fully keep hens in eonfinement.-

Queen Bee Rules the Hive.

A queen bee is certainly very inn
portant factor in the hive. Without a
queen colony of bees are absolutely
worthless. No other bee in the whole
colony can take the place of the queen,
and no house of lords can run business
in her absence as it runs with her pres
ent. In the absence of the queen, some
of the worker bees will assume the
duty of laying eggs, but, strange to
say, these eggs will hatch to drone
bees only, and poor quality of drones
