and the representatives Of the Delaware Indians The
Indian appropriation bill contained provision whereby
all Improvements placed upon holdings of lands by
Delawaes should be appraised by agent OF the gov
ernment be designated by the president and that the
member Of the Delaware tribe owning the Improvements
should have lien upon the land until the Improvements
were paid for in full Recently President Roosevelt
designated Agent J. Blair Shoenfelt of the Union agency
as the appraiser of the Delaware improvements on
cess holdings No sooner had the appointment been
made than Secretary Hitchcock gave Agent Shoenfet
lengthy instructions how he should proceed in the
appraseent In the instructions thesecreary directed
Mr. Shoenfelt to make appraisement Of all improve
upon their actual face value and to disregard any
offers that had been made for the purchase of the prop
ery The result of this order is that Improvements
that could have been disposed of three hundred
dollars will not bring than s25 s3O Fences that
had been built will be appraised at the actual Of the
material under the secretays ORDER deducting there
from the deterioration in value by Of usage The
question of the labor in constructing the fences it not
proposed to include in the appraisement.
AS result of this order Mr. r. c. Adams, represent
ing the Delawares, has lodged complaint with the
president and Senator Quay and other influential senat
ors and representatives have taken up the fight in be-
half of the contention of Mr. Adams and his clients 1t
claimed by the Deawares that under the law Secretary
Hitchcock had nothing whatever do with the apprase
ment and that bis orders we're entirely grautous and
uncaed for The matter has been submitted to the
president and will be disposed of shortly

WHAT SCIENCE TELLS US.
Left Handed Children Should Not Be
Discouraged in Following
Dictates of Nature.

Ihave never seen anything but bad re-
suits from the attempt to train children
to use the right hand instead of the left
when there is decided tendency o.
habit to be left-handed. Moreover, the
attempt is never successful. The best
consequences are poor, and are only
awkward mixtures of the two forms
which yield confusions and indecisions
during the entire subsequent life. One
is that of naturally left-handed friend
who, by arduous and continuous train
ing during his childhood was compelled
to write with his right hand. For all
other acts he is left-handed, but he ca a
not use his left hand in writing. All
though now past so years. he has al
ways hated any writing. the mere act
of doing so, and he cannot do any orig
inal thinking while writing. He is for
this purpose compelled to rely on a
stenographer, and then his ideas flow
freely and rapidly. If he tries to think,
plan or devise and to write at the same
time. there is a positive inhibition OF
thought. and he must make sketches,
epitomes, several efforts, copyings. etc..
in a painful and most unsatisfactory
manner. The attempt at ambidexter-
ity has been lifelong obstacle to him
in his professional progress. The chief
centers most closely interrelated in
writing and thinking are thus demon
strably better harmonizee when in one
side of the brain. The mechanics OF
neurology are plainly less difhcult than
could be achieved by any foolish and un.
successful ambidexterity.-Dr. Gould,

Feeding New Corn.

It is the custom OF many farmers to
commence feeding ne wcorn to hogs al
soon as 1t is in the roasting ear, maxi
ing 1t, with the addition Of pasture
frequently scanty. the sole feed from
that time until the hogs are finished
for the market This Is a wasteful
practice. How wasteful, any farmer
can sec for himself, says Wallace's
Farmer, If he will pull on an ear Of
corn in roasting ear, hang 1t up to dry,
pulling one each week until the corn
is ready to cut up, and then, about the
1st of December, when all are thor
ougly dry, shell and weigh the grains
on each ear, taking care that the ears
selected may be as nearly as possible
Of the same length and the same num-
Der of rows.
He will then understand as he nevef
did before that up to the roasting-ear
stage the corn plant is simply getting
ready for work, and that It's work of
storing food in the ear Is done. in q
comparatively short period. If, there
fore, the farmer feeds corn in the roast
ing-ear stage he does it at great loss.
How great the loss is we will not say,
preferring to allw the farmer to find
that out for himself by the simple and
easy method above mentioned. We are
apt to forget what somebody tells us;
we are sure to remember what we find
out for ourselves. The first objection,
therefore, against this method is that
1t is very expensive one. Seventy
pounds of dry, mature corn in the ear
will furnish about so pounds of dry
matter in the grain. 1t will surprise
the farmer to find out how many moro
pounds Of roasting ears will be re-
quired to furnish the same amount OF
dry matter and nutrition.
The second objection is that an all
corn diet from the roasting-ear period
on is not the best thing for hog. The
hog likes roasting ears; SO does his
owner, but he would not relish them
greatly If he had roasting ears alone
for breakfast, dinner and supper, week
in and week out. While there is nothing
that will finish the mature hog SO
cheaply in the fall Of the year as ear
corn and cold water, nevertheless up
to this finish all hogs, and particularly
young hogs, require a greater variety
Of feed A good pasture will go far
toward balancing this all-corn ration,
but feed Of oats and barley or ground
rye will still go further, and while they
cost more, yet we are inclined to
think that in due proportion with
corn they are cheaper feed that the
all-corn ration, even when that is but
15c per bushel.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crot

USES FOR A POND.
There Arc Many Uses For Pond On
the Farm Which the POssessOR
VIII Realize.

Probably many farmer can, like
myself, remember with pleasure that
in the happy days of his youth he
caught many mess of fish from the
old pond at home, and they we're great
ly enjoyed by all of the family. AS
soon as I acquired land of my own,
began to make pond. was not very
successful, and the brethren may from
my mistakes take warning AS a first
mistake, tried to make my pond where
l thought it would add to the beauty
Of the farm, without consulting the
character of the land upon which it
was to be made, which had very por-
Gus, gravelly subsoil. We had time
trying to get it to hold water; tried
tromping with horses, running cattle
in the basin, ETC., but could make no
progress. Finally, as the last resort,
a lot of hogs were fattened in the
basin. Their heavy bodies upon the
small feet solved the problem, and
raniihed what little soil there was SO
firmly among the gravel that 1t now
holds. AS precaution to anyone who
tries this mode now, would say that
l would fence in the pond, with not
much land around it for them to nose
around on, SO that they will do more
tramping in the basin. Then have your
corn in a pen in one corner Of the in
closure, covered with plank, or some
other portable material. Also have the
floor Of the pen up at sufficient height
to allow the hogs to get under it, and
take shelter from the inclement wealth
er. II your pond is already established,
you ought to stock it at once with
some good variety Of fish if you have
not already done so. Most states have
fish department which will give the
necessary aid and information in this
direction free of charge. Another use
for the pond is the annual crop of
ice which may be harvested from its
surface. This will not interfere with
the fish, and, If the pond is not too
far away from the house, the ice-house
may be erected upon its banks and the
ice stored in it without having to both
er with hauling. Don't forget the ice
crop.-Cor. Epitomist.
