Farm Notes.

An important item in stock feeding
is regularity.
Long feet are frequently the cause
of lameness in horses.
1t is waste of feed to give more
than an animal can digest.
With all stock. food may he wasted
by giving too much or too little.
Sheep. when being fattened. should
have protection from wet and cold.
With all stock, there is no single
feed that possesses only good quail
ties
Early pampering should be avoided
if mature and healthy development is
desired.
The sheep raiser who is not progress
sive cannot expect to attain perfection
in his calling.
Labor. even on the farm, is most Of.
fective when directed by intelligence
and thought.
To injudicious feeding may be cred.
tied a large amount of the fatality
among hogs.
The brood SOW should have plenty
of nourishing food such as will cause
healthy growth without too much
fat.
Variety of live stock on farm
quite as much as variety of cropping
is a source of wealth accumulation in
the holding.

The material for the important task
of arrowhead making is plentifully
supplied by the bottles thrown away
near white settlements, and is now

definite improvement on the laborious

The Tie of Brotherhood.
The tie Of comrade or brother is far
stronger with the Onas than that link
ing man and wife. The men have a
superstition that formerly the women
had the upper hand while the men
were forced to do camp drudgery. So
on reaching manhood they bind them
selves to a kind of free masonry, the
object of which is to impose subjec-
tion on the women by personifying on
mt occasions the watchful spirits with
which they have peopled the woods and
lakes, the mists and mountains, the
companionship of which is all they
have of home. Behind his Indian re-
serve, however, the Ona is of "a frank
and-for a vage-kindly disposition,
and especially fond of little children.
AS the Ona youngsters grow up they
listen in the long winter nights to tales
Which have been handed down of a by
gone time when all the members of
Natures great family-sun and moon,
bird, beast and fnan-walked and talk
ed together. 1t is noticeable that such
stories have no faint of the disgusting
animalism which pervades. every Yag-
han tale.

in order that his limbs might harden

north, and when he came back he told

Valparaiso Letter in Pittsburg Gazette.
The South American continent does
not, properly speaking, end in Cape
Horn, for a narrow passage some $50
miles long cuts across it somewhat far
Their north. A 40-foot tide races twice
a day into the Atlantic entrance of
this passage, covering and uncovering
dangerous shoals as a wild beast bares
il gums. On these shoals many good
ships back had broken. AS we adven-
ture to the west the waterway stretches
between twin ranges of splintered
hills, covered to the low snow line by
a dripping forest of Antarctic birch,
it's somber green scared at short inter-
walls by blue-white glaciers which push
their frozen hummocks to the waters

cliffs so high that only an icy spray,
touched with rainbow hue, falls
athwart the steamers deck. Through
out all the year the roaring
southwest wind busters past,

showers of rain and sleet and a cloak
of trailing mist. Such are the famous
Straits of Magellan. which guard the
yet more broken channels and islands
terminating in Cape Horn-a fit bar
