INDIANS YIELDING TO
INFLUENCES OF REASON
Five Civilized Tribes in Indian Terri
tory Entering Upon the Thresh
old of New Era.


The ninth annual report Of the Dawes
Indian Commission to the Secretary of
the Interior says that the fiscal year just
closed has been the most noteworthy
since the commission began its work.
The report says:
THE bitter anti-allotment sentiment
has largely yielded to the influences of
reason and time, and the five civilized
tribes are now fairly upon the threshold
of a new era. The enactment of legisla-
tion and the confirmation Of agreements
have enabled the commission to make
marked progress in remedying the OBJ
jectionable political and social condi-
tions which prevailed in Indian Terri
tory for many years.
While more or less irritation is still
noticeable in some quarters, matters
generally are ASSUMING the desired
status. A healthy. vigorous current of
business has taken the place of the
feverish, congested condition of the
country which prevailed short time
since"

trade and commerce between the two
countries which, at the Same time that
they contribute to the increasing de-

tvs government is to strengthen the
good feeling now happily renewed and be-
coming more marked with the passage

developing in all ways within its power

communication which tend not alone to
mutual benefit, but to the closer rela

SHELTER FOR STOCK.
The Northern or Western Farmer
Who Does Not Provide II Is
Guilty of WantOn Cruelty.

There ought to be a law to prevent
farmers keeping more stock than
they can provide shelter for. But il
is not always for want of stable room
that many farmers allow their cat.
tie and hogs to 60 without protec.
tion. In some cases it is nothing
short of downright carelessness; in
others something like ignorance. The
writer, of course, has reference to
climates where shelter is needed,
and without which live stock is apt to
suffer. When the temperature falls
near zero, an animal will suffer more
than most people suspect from cold
rains and sleet, and being compelled
to sleep on the frozen ground. In
this neighborhood there is a man
who is known as good farmer as
well as thorough Christian. Last
fall he built a fine large sheep house
on his farm and as he had only a
few sheep which he kept in the base
ment of his barn, allowed the sheen
house to stand idle all winter while
a number of young cattle went with
out shelter of any kind. The only
excuse for this was that the sheep
house is a little distance from his
dwelling house-too far to go to do
the feeding. Perhaps he might have
hired someone to do his feeding for
less than what he lost by allowing
his stock to go without shelter.-C. i.
Burns, in Epitomist.

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Australia, New Zealand, and South
America, have supplied England with
100000 carcasses of frozen mutton
and lamb during the past year.
Wool shipped from Rockhampton,
Australia, has shown a steady falling
off since 1898, 1O4,920 bales being the
figures for that year, and 44,767 for
1901.
The step taken by the New York
State Fair association of providing a
class for home-bred and another for
imported sheep is one in the right di-
rection.
when the happy time comes" said
Mark Twain, that the lion lies down
with the lamb, / reckon it will be
found that the lamb lies inside the
lion"
1t seems to us that the establish
ment of big slaughtering plants in
Texas is bound to revolutionize the
present system of stock raising and
farming in this state.
With sheep the period of CESSATION
is about $50 days. The limits for
lambing are between 145 aLd 1856
days, though in a few cases these
limits have been overreached.- Rural

The blood is life. Wederive from the blood
life, power, beauty and reason, as the uoc.
tors nave been saying from time immemo-
rial. A healthy body, a fresh appearance,
and generally all the abilities we possess
depend on that source OF life, 1t is, there
fore, the duty Of every sensible man to
keep the blood as pure and normal as pos
sible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has
given us thermometer indicating the state
Of the blood, whicl appeals to our reason
by giving notice Of its impurity. Small erup-
tioEs OF the skin, to which we scarcely pay
any attention, headache, ringing noises in
the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness are gem
orally sign that the blood is not in nor
NAL state, but is filled with noxous sub
stances, These symptoms deserve our full
attention II more attention were paid to
these symptoms and steps taken to remove
them, then many illnesses from which we
suffer would become unknown, and the hu-
man body would become stronger and health
ier. Attention, therefore, should be paid
to those warning signs, and the blood can
be purified and poisonous substances re-
moved from it by the use Of DR.. August
koenigs Hamburg Drops, discovered more
than 60 years ago.

AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.
He Wanted an Eraser, But the Good
Woman Wouldn't Give Him
Dry Bread.

An artist who was making a sketching
tour through a picturesque region OF Con-
necticut claneed one day on barn SO al
Turing to MS eye that ne sat down on a
stone wall and went to work at once, relates
an exchange.
He soon became conscious that he had
two interested spectators in the persons OF
the farmer and his wife, who had come to
the door Of tie house to watch aim.
The artist by and by discovered that be
had lost or mislaid his rubber eraser, and,
as he wished to correct a slight error in the
sketch he went up to the door and asked
the farmers wife if he might have a small
piece Of dry bread. This as every artist
knows, makes a good eraser.
The farmers wife looked at him with an
expression Of pity not unmixed with sur
prise,
'Dry bread" she repeated. "Well, ]
guess you won't have to put up with any
dry bread from me, young man. You come
right into the kitchen with me and I'll
give you a thick s'ice Of bread with but

Young pigs that can be forced to
200 pounds in six or seven months are
)ne of the most profitable things
raised on a farm. In order to have
hem attain this growth several
things must be borne in mind. The
pigs must come from good mothers,
and it is well to have the litter the
second or third which she has had.
Spring pigs are best, for they will
take on more weight in six months
than fall pigs. Growth must be
steady. When they reach maturity
and show increasing signs of tagging
in putting on weight, send them to
market. For food, give them skim
milk, good clover in season, and roots
and grain enough to produce rapid
growth.-Midland Farmer. =

stopping the little Leaks.

There must be some way Of stopping
the little leaks in the family pocket
book, if farming is to be successful,
and poultry and eggs to take to town
are just the right thing to stop that
leak. If the egg and chicken money
pays all the living expenses, money
from the sale of other produce can be
used t. great advantage somewhere
else. Poultry brings in returns all the
time, every week in the year, just as
the family Feed them. Many cases
might be cited where farmers wives
have paid all the living expenses Of
large families simply by the poultry
