MOST NOTABLE RED MAN.
Cherokee Indian, Cousin of Senator
Morgan, Stands High In
state Affairs.

Gideon Morgan is an enrolled cltl-
zen of the Cherokee nation. He is
half-breed, cousin of United States
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, and
holds position of much prominence
and influence among both Indians and
white men throughout the Indian ter
ritory.
He was the permanent chairman OF
the single statehood convention re-
Gently held at Oklahoma City, and pre-
sided in such dignifed and impartial
way as to call forth the praise and
admiration of the delegates and every
body else present. The Oklahoman, IN
it's reports of the meetings OF the con-
vention, particularly extols the con-
duct and work of Mr.. Morgan, states
the Kansas City Journal.
But the compliments bestowed upon
the Indian statesman for the ability
and good judgment he displayed on
this occasion is not so interesting as
the fact that leading Oklahoma paper
calls him, who is only half Indian, "a
representative Cherokee in every sense
Of the word and "a perfect type of the
civilized, educated American Indian"
The Oklahoman has an intimate knowl-
edge of Indian life and affairs, and I'M
doubtedly has advisedly used these
terms and phrases. And the natural
conclusion to be drawn therefrom is
that if Mr.. Morgan is perfect type OF
an Indian, there are no full-blood In
dams now existing in the country.
This idea, however, is not new one.
It prevails to wide extent among the
people of the United States. and is
justified by the appearance and cos
tune of the Indians themselves now
adays. 1t is the accepted belief that
the red men were originally so called
because of their color. The Indians of
the territory are perhaps as near to
their primitive state as the Indians in
any other part of the nation are, and
yet it would be impossible to find very
many there the color of whose skin
would warrant the epithet of red
men," In fact. of the $4,000 in the ter
ritory which the government classes as
Indians. only ten per cent. are recog-
nized as full-bloods, and even the latter
have copper or muddy yellow COM
plexion.
There were hundreds of thousands
more Indians N this country when Co
lumbus discovered it than is shown to
| be here in the last census. But it would
seem that the disappearance of the
noble red man has been brought bout
not so much by war as by other and
gentler influences.

Forestry in Kentucky.

According to j. B. Atkinson, Ken
lucky has 100000 acres of timber,
producing an aBndalfumber and fuel
supply amounting to over $7,34o,Oo0.
In 1883 four-acre track of black wal
nuts was planted, the trees being set
four feet apart each way. Several
methods of thinning were tried.
Where the trees were thinned about
seventy per cent. of those which re-
manned seemed to do the best. They
are now six inches in diameter and
from twenty to thirty feet high. On
track left as nearly as possible in its
smaller and not nearly SO thrifty

Soft seeds come up more quickly

Hens that are properly fed and

Thousands of poor people eat
filthy, black molasses or corrode
their stomachs with chemical sirups,
because they are cheap while they
could use pure, clean, delicious, nutri-
tious homemade sirup. Honey is
equally palatable and nutritious and
costs less than either, but is a rarity,
and even that only in "robbing time .
This destution comes mainly from
fear of getting stung when taking
out honey. This trouble is SO effect

use of the ''hcme perfection" home
made hive that being stung in taking
honey is most Improbable. A party
using that system about ten seasons
suffered only one sting in taking out
honey, and that by pressing an UNI
seen bee between his fingers. He has
now provided pear of bee-gloves. So
it is that we are slow to learn. More

Washing Away OF Soils.

There is no way to prevent the
gradual washing away of soils as it is
the inevitable effect of storm water
on its way to the sea to carry with it
not only dissolved fertility, but sus-
pended humus and even some mineral
matter. This may, by proper drain
age measures and judicious cultiva-
ton be reduced to minimum, but
however slowly, the process goes on.
The wasted hun,.us can be replaced by
growing crops for the purpose and
blowing them under, and avoiding the
successive growth of crops requiring
clean cultivation. The wasted phos-
phoric acid and potash can be re-
placed by the same means, though
the chief loss to the soil is in the
wasted nitrogen forming humus, and
most soils have enough of the other
two elements in a slowly soluble con
dition to last indefinitely. 1t may be
necessary to dress the land occasion
ally with lime or gypsom to promote
the availability of the otherwise inso-
lrble combinations. But if the humus
is provided the most valuable element,
and the most costly when it must be
bought, will be there when the plants
call for it. If there is ample lime
in the soil there will be no danger of
blowing under too much green crops:
or adding too much hu1nus in any
form. The acids Of the humus act up
on the insoluble phosphates and po-
tassis compounds rendering them
available, as plant food, and the lime
neutralizes the acids, which are harm
full to plant roots. BY judicious man
agement, all natural soil waste may
not only be overcome, but the soil
improved from year to year.-Texas
