LoNe-DIsTANcE SIGN TALK.
Smoke Pillars and Fiery Arrows wer
Indian Metho la of Com municatiou.

Smoke Pillars and Fiery Arrows Were
Indian Methods of Com mmunication.
Talking by smoke was one of the
means of communication upon the
American plains in the early days of
travel. This kind of talk soon became
ineligible to the traveller, so that he
understood the significance of the
spires of smoke which he sometimes
saw rising from distant ridge or hill,
and answered in kind from a different
direction. 1t was. the signal talk of
the Indians across miles of interyening
country, and was used in rallying the
warriors for an attack, or in warning
them of retreat when that seemed
necessary.
The Indian had a way of sending up
the smoke in rings and puffs, knowing
that such column would at once be
noticed and understood to be signal,
and not the smoke from some ordinary
campfire
The rings were made by covering the
fire with a blanket for moment, then
suddenly removing the blanket and al
lowing the smoke to ascend, when the
fire was instantly covered up again.
The column of ascending smoke rings
said to every Indian within a circle of
perhaps twenty or thirty miles: "Look
out, there is IN enemy near"
A writer in the Chicago Tribune ex-
plains that three smokes built close to-
gether meant danger. One smoke SIM
ply said, Attention" Two meant,
Camp at this place"
To one who has travelled upon the
plains the usefulness of this long-dis-
tance telephone becomes at once ap-
parent. Sometimes at night the trav-
eler saw fiery lines crossing the sky,
shooting up and falling, perhaps taking
a direction diagonal to the line of vi
sion.
. If he was an old-timer he might in
terpret the signals, and know that one
ire-arrow-an arrow prepared by treat
ing the head of the shaft with gun
powder and fine bark-meant the same
as the column of smoke puffs, namely,
"An enemy is near" Two fire-arrows
meant Danger" Three arrows said,
This danger is great" Several ar
rows said, ..The enemy are too many
for u.s. Two arrows shot up into the
air at once meant, 1--WE shall attack"
Three at once said. I've attack now.
Thus the untutered savage could tele-
phone as well at night as by day.

Gras. for Re.eedinx.

In reseeding meadows and pastures,
particularly the latter, orchard grass
has value that is not appreciated.
While there may be some question as
to Its feeding value as compared to
timothy, in reseedfng one does not ex-
pect to obtain prime hay, the main OBJ
ject being to make the meadow longer
lived. Orchard grass will stand hot
and dry weather splendidly, seeming
ly doing it's best when other grasses
have burned out, growing and filing
the spaces left in good shape Horses
like orchard grass fed just after cut
ting and do well on it. which is not
the case with other grasses, as rule.
While seed may be sown alone at the
rate of three bushels per acre, and win
make good pasture, as a rule it is sown
with clover and other seeds, using one
half to one bushel of the orchard grass.

Engineering Is Required 3
Make Safe Riding.

DeEsate EnxlneSrinR Is1Required to.
Make Safe Riding.
George Pullman once said, when ask
ed the secret of easy riding, that the
secrets are SO many that no one can
keep them. That is true, but the cas-
Ing of curves is one Of them.
Curves, no matter how slight, have
always been laid as arcs Of true cir
cles. The outer rail is raised according
to the sharpness of the curve and the
estimated speed Of the trains that are
to 60 round 1t. A mile-a-m minute train
on a one-degree curve needs an outer
rail five inches higher than the inner
rail; q slower train a lower elevation.
1t is clear from this explanation that
train going faster than the maximum
for which the track is prepared would
shoot off the rails. Conversely slow
er train than the one provided for
would grind the fanges off it's wheels.
Any road must strike a serviceable
average for trains of varying speeds,
and engineers must nurse their loco
motives around the curves as close to
1t as possible. That puts an inevitable
check on high speeds. The Empire
State express once made a burst for
straightaway section of track. A
heavy curve would have shot the en-
gine at that top speed quarter of
mile across country. On most roads,
however, sixty miles an hour is quite
safe, though very costly.
To permit such speed the engineers
of the last few years, in relaying
tracks, instead Of starting a true cir
Gle curve with the sudden life of the
outer rail that causes the jolt and
lurch that travellers know, have laid a
light parabolic curve from point a
hundred yards back on the straight
track, and have elevated the outer
rail imperceptibly along that curve to
the maxim. The result of the device
annihilation of curves as regards
passengers senses. With eyes shut
he cannot tell whether the track Is
straight or curved.-World's Work

Red and Crimson Glover.


One of the troubles with crimson
clover in the North is that it frequent
" winter-kills, despite the utmost care.
Try the plan of adding one-quarter Of
red clover seed; that is, sow eight
pounds of crimson clover seed mixed
with four or five pounds of red clover
seed; the latter being somewhat more
hardy will act as protection during
the winter 1t is quite as good for
feeding, If the clover is for that pur-
pose. and will add humus to the soil
if it be turned under in the spring.
While the usual plan is to sow the
clover at the time of the last cultiva-
ton of the corn, better results are
often had by sowing the seed alone
after a thorough preparation of the
soil by plowing and narrowing. Natu-
rally, by this plan, the roots penetrate
deeper into the soil, hence the danger
4af winter illings is lessened. Those
who have had trouble with wfnter-kiII-
ing should try this plan. Crimson clo-
yer may be sown successfully any
where it may be grown up to the Goth
Of August.

warm weather Is subject that is wor-
thy Of extensive discussion. Ordinar-
lily farm horses will do better If turn
ed to grass at night than If kept on
dry feed. 1t is much better for their
feet, and the change from dry to green
food Is beneficial In every way. One
of the most common mistakes made is
that of overlooking, making two horses
do the work of three. This in the long
run is not economy. The majority of
teamsters injure their horses by feed
ing too much hay, while in the case of
road animals mistakes are often made
by driving too hard when starting out
on journey. One should start off at
"a slow jog. graduai9y 2ncreGsing the
speed. If this is necessary, after mile
or two has been covered. On the road
or in the field, 1t is usually well to
lessen the pace somewhat just before
unhitching, as the animal will then
get much more good from the food con-
sumed. Horses should be watered as
frequently as possible, and 1t is much
better IL they are made to take the
bulk OF their drink before meals rather
than after. During warm weather the
horses will do much more work II they
are given water some time during the
middle Of the forenoon and afternoon.

The milking machine, the grain
shocker and the field corn husker are
machines that have not become an un.
qualified success.
One way by which neighbors can be
helpful is to note the working of GER
tain kind of an implement and, with
out prejudice, give its good points to
another neighbor. There is a ten
dency among people to think more of
zones own things" than the things of
others and for that reason they do not
see defects when talking to neigh
bor. Neighbors should talk freely
about the advantages and disadvant-
ages of implements.
Farm help is considered scarce, yet
call at the office of any large city
agricultural employment agency shows
quite a number of men waiting fora
job on a farm. In fact, there Is al
ways help to be had If man and farm
er could be brought together con-
veniently. For this purpose advertis-
ing is one of the best means. A line
or two in papers circulating in the
country districts is sure to bring re-
plies from the best and most intel
ligent class of farm workmen.
Potatoes are ready for digging as
soon as the tops fall down. 1t is best
to dig them early in the day and allow
them to remain on the ground for a
few hours, when they should be taken
to the farm and stored in COOL dark,
dry place; hut it is not advisable to
place too many in single heap. All
diseased or injured potatoes should be
removed from the .lot, or they will have
more or less effect upon the whole, as
they will be the first to decay Pota-
toes may be stored in mounds during
the winter but are not easily utilized
in that condition.
