An Indian VILLAGE unear,hed.

A report from Amarillo in the Tex
as Panhandle, states that an ancient
Indian village has been unearthed in
the Pecos valley near the Texas-New
Mexico line. The wash,,g of the wa
ters in an old dry sream between
two ranges of hills during heavy
rain three days ago disclosed the walls
Of ten stone about 80 feet below the
surface Of the earth. The old surface
line is easily traced by a line of char
coal at the base of the houses. Moth
ing Is known of the prehistoric inhabi.
tants of the village or how it came to
be lost to sight, but IL is supposed to
have been covered by landslide as
the earth over the ruins is q stratum
of soil appearing in all the surround
ing country. a number of earthen-
ware vessels have been found and a
number of skulls have tumbled out
of the ruins into the arroyo below. A
popularity of the skulls is that the
forehead projects some two inches
more than the normal skull of today.

Chiya1ry in the Old South.

In 1862, when General Grant entered
Holly Springs, which from 1861 to 1865
was alternately in the hands Of the
Federal forces and the Confederates, he
arranged to make his private residence
in one of the beautiful homes In that
little city of north Mississippi He
might have occupied the house by force
of arms but instead Of doing so, says
writer in the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, he wrote courteous note TO
Mrs. Pugh Goran, who had the place in
charge, asking the favor of board for
himself, Mrs. Grant, several of their
children, and a large military family,
which included officers of his staff and
their wives.
During General Grants occupancy,
but while he was absent on brief visit,
Gen. Earl Van Dorm made raid into
Holly Springs, destroying commissary,
ordinance and quartermaster's stores,
and other army supplies concentrated
there, and thus defeated temporarily
the purpose Of the Federal commander,
the onward march of whose conquering
army through Mississippi had Vlcks-
burg as it's objective point.
Failing to find General Grants OH
cial headquarters, General Van Dorm
and some of his followers dashed down
to Grants private quarters, intending
to search his apartments. The Confed-
crates entered the house and mounted
the stairway, but at the head OF the
stairs Mrs. Goran, who was beautiful
Southern woman of the finest type, met
them.
General" she gently said, Il entreat
YOU not to enter Mrs. Grants bedroom.
Such an Intrusion would do for van
dals. but not for Southern soldiers"
Madam" returned Van Dorm, cit

Shocks tied in this manner seldom get

For hauling in fodder we have two

sled-like device that is easily construct

hauling fodder. 1t will be found espe-
cially handy in loading fodder. Some
use this sled for hauling and the
shocks are not torn apart in hauling,
but are simply tipped over on the sled
and hauled away in this manner. The
other device consists in peculiarly
constructed rack to be placed on low

Light as a Healing Agent.

In view Of the growing Importance of
the application of light as a healing
principle in medical science, the med
zeal congress which recently convened
at Wiesbaden invited Professor Bic, of
Copenhagen, to read paper on the SUBJ
ject. The lecturer explained the prin-
ciple of employing light for healing pur.
poses after excluding its chemical ef-
fects. The results obtained by this meth
cd in cases of smallpox, according to
the lecturer, are such that the question
is raised whether the light treatment
shall not be made compulsory. Profess
sor Bic approves the apparatus invent.
ed by DR.. Finsen, of Copenhagen, with
which the latter has achieved such re-
markable success In cases of lupus, but
urges that no one but qualified doctors
should be allowed to apply the light
treatment, as disturbances are apt to oc.
cur which render it necessary to breah
it off suddenly.

Artificial Ice Ponds.

There are few better sources for get
ting good Ice than from properly con-
structed artificial pond, because they
can be placed on stream Of pure run
ming water, which can be let off during
the summer months, and allowed to tiil
up before freezing weather. The bot
tom can be cleaned before the water Is
let in, and if there is no impurity above,
the Ice will be much purer than from
the ordinary pond. A pond containing
one hundred square rods should cut
about twenty thousand square feet, or
five hundred tons, when the ice will
average nine inches thick, and this
or diaries. For single family with
small dairy, even six square rods would
I'LL an icehouse ten feet square, twelve
feet deep, or about thirty tons, more
than many use for dairy. Ii the ice
was thicker or was cut more than once
in year, the amount would be largely
increased. Both these might happen In
ordinary winters In this climate. The
ideal pond should be about 3h feet
deep, and with gravelly or sandy bot
tom. Water in the shallow pond
freezes more quickly than in larger
pond or a running stream, and where
it is filled quickly the ice Is clearer A
grass bottom is allowable, If 1t be
cleansed by moving and raking before
the water Is let in. The shallow depth
prevents danger from drowning unless
one goes in head foremost. For the
smaller houses one needs no expensive
outfit of ice tools. A straight-edged
board to mark of the squares, cross
cut saw, and an ice chisel, few pixies,
runway, with blocks and ropes to
draw the ice up the run, are all that are
absolutely necessary. Two men to cut,
two to run it into the house and one to
pack it inside will make good gang for
a small pond-New England Farmer.

A Canteen of App1ejack.

Winter Spraying of Fruit Trees.

Winter Spraying of Fruit Trees.
The spraying of fruit trees during the
winter should not be neglected. Before
the leaves start the trunk and every
branch of the tree should be well spray
ed with solution of one pound Of cop
per sulphate in twenty-five gallons Of
water to check scab, codling moth, bird
moth, tent caterpillar, canker worm,
plum curculio and San Jose scale on
apple trees, to be followed up after the
blossoms fall by the regular bordeaux
mixture of four pounds each Of sui
phate of copper and lime to fifty gallons
of water. Some prefer to use six pounds
sulphate Of copper instead Of four
pounds, but we are not sure that this is
any better than the other, while for
peach trees that have put out their
leaves the use of three pounds Of sui
phate of copper to six or Zine pounds
of lime Is thought strong enough for
fifty gallons of water. But we are now
speaking of a winter spray before the
leaves come out The mixture of fifty
pounds each of lime, salt and flowers
of sulphur is used on the Pacific coast
for the San Jose scale, but in our East
ern climate it does not seem to be as
effectual, as the frequent rains wash 1t
off. A mixture Of pure lime made as u
thin whitewash and used on peach trees
two or three times in the winter has
been recommended as spray that will
keep the leaves and buds from starting
early enough to be killed by the spring
frosts.-American Cultivator.

The MiIkhouse.

In planning a house for handling the
milk the main points are ventilation,
sunshine, drainage and to have it handy
to an abundant supply of cold water
The location should be where the air Is
pure as milk absorbs odors and Is cas-
lily tainted and spoiled for butter max
ing or any family purpose. The build
ing should have at least one window
on the south side, so as to allow the sun
to shine In when desired, yet SO ar
ranged as to exclude the direct sunshine
when necessary.
The best mulch for strawberry bed
is fine horse manure. Early In the
spring 1t should be raked of the rows
and worked In close to the plants,
using salt hay or any clean material In
its place on the rows as mulch after
the plants are well grown. so as to pro-
feet the fruit from DIRT and also to
shade the soil.
