PRIMITIVE INDIAN TRIBE,
Alabamas of the Creek Nation Ad-
here to Customs Of Gen.
tury Ago.

The Alabama Indians in the Creek
nation are so primitive in their ways
that they attract attention where In
dians are no uncommon sight. They
are living and practicing customs of
the Indians of 100 years ago. They
still speak their own dialect, being
the only one of the 40 different tribes
composing the Creek nation that does
this. None of them can speak Eng
lish. They live in pole huts daubed
with red clay, says the Kansas City
Journal.
The Alabama tribe has affiliated with
the Snake Indians and is still more
backward in accepting association with
the white man. For long time they
refused to be enrolled on the loyal
Creek rolls, but of late many of them
have been persuaded to come forward
and enroll. The prophet is the big
man of the tribe. When a horse is
stolen he is supposed to be able to find
it, or if Indians become sick he is
expected to make them we'll. If a
drought overtakes the land he is ex-
pected to make it rain. He brews or
makes all the medicine for his tribe.
Pottery making, which is lost art
with the Creek Indians to-day, was
possessed by the members of this
tribe until a few years ago. The last
survivor of the old school in the MAX
ing of pottery was an old woman who
died a few years ago.

DO NOT NEGLECT THING.
It's the Only Way in Which Thou
sands of Acres of Land Can Be
Improved Permanently.

The wonderful effect resulting from
a system of tile drainage, as seen on
many farms, should be an incentive to
increasing interest in this work. That
there should be little improvement OF
this kind in a new and unimprOved
country, where land is comparatively
cheap, is not surprising. 1t is not,
however, so easy to understand why
people are so slow to make such i'm
provements in the older sections OF
the country where land is high.
That there is very large amount
of land in these older settled portions
of the country that would be greatly
improved by good system of tiling
there can be no question. A farmer
living in western New York, writing
to the Rural New Yorker, says:
Even here in western New York, re-
terred to by many as the garden OF
the state,' thousands of acres that are
not in proper condition are each year
plowed and planted to crops, nor can
they be expected to afford favorable
results unless nature in some un-
usual manner renders assistance. The
Well-known excuse or objection to this
system of work made by far too many
is the expense to be incurred not only
for the tile itself, but for the labor re-
Quired additional to that of the reg
ular farm labor"
But large part of such drainage
work does not require highly skilled
and expensive labor for it's perform.
ance. The farmer and his regular help
can do it when they cannot work in
the fields
In a place where the fall is so slight
and the work so difficult as to require
such help the improvement that will
result will many times pay for its
cost. On great many farms there are
many days throughout the season when
little profitable work is done and when
the time could be spent at such work
as tiling to very great advantage

OLD COW BREAKS RECORD,
Gives Down Twenty-Four Quarts at
a Milking and Walks Off
with Chuckle,

Henry w. Brown, of Flanders, L. l.,
has COW that is almost prolific enough
in milk giving to establish full-fledged
milk route all by herself. She gave
"a quarts of milk at one milking. This
is the most astonishing feat yet ac-
complished by Suffolk county COW, 50
far as can be learned.
The COW is about eight years old. She
is of no particular breed-just a COW;
that's all. Previous to this remarkable
record she had been doing nothing won
derful in milk giving; in fact, her best
record last summer was 18 quarts at
two milk4u5s.
When Mr.. Brown went out to milk
her he thought the COW looked at him
with a rather peculiar expression, al
most as if she would say: I'm going
to do something wonderful for you this
time Mr.. Brown carried regular
size milk pail, and, seating himself, pro1
ceeded to relieve the COW of her milk
He was not much surprised in filling
the pail the first time, but when he got
it full he noticed that there appeared
tc' be plenty of it left and after emptying
the pail he started in again During
the filling of this pail the COW kept turn
ing around and looking at him with what
her owner declared was rather
amused expression on her face
When the second pail was nearly filled
he muttered to himself: Great Scottl
Brlndle, you're a regular fountain"
After emptying the second pailful, and
going back toward the COW. he swears
the animal fairly laughed at him. When
he filled the pail for the second time, he
notified his family Of the wonderful cow
he had out in the barnyard, and re-
marked that he thought they had bet
ter get out the washtub for him to milk
in. The third pail was not filled COM
pletely full. though, before the supply
was exhausted. Both Mr. Brown and
the COW heaved sighs of relief when the
wonderful milking ordeal was COM
pleted, and at the same time both looked
proud-the man because he owned such
a wonder and the COW because she had
done so we'll for her master.

WILL NOT SELL FERTILITY.
Why the Progressive Farmers of
Northern Illinois No Longer Dis
pose of Their Skim Milk.

The farmers of the corn belt are
coming more and more to appreciate
the value of their skim milk for feed
ing on their farms to their calves,
hogs and poultry Talking with the
manager of a creamery in northern
Illinois, representative of the Farm
ers' Review was told that he could
buy no skim milk for making up into
cottage cheese; for the reason that
the farmers in his vicinity would not
sell it, They declared that it was
worth at least 20 cents per 100 pounds
for feeding to their farm animals, and
that they preferred to keep it, even if
they could get that for it. One man
lived not far from bottling establish
ment where he could get good price
for his whole milk, but he preferred
to haul it to a whole milk creamery
that he might get the skim milk to usa
on his farm. In this same locality one
year the farmers quite generally
sold their skim milk for shipping to the
city, but when fall came found that
their hogs we're in poor condition on
account of having been deprived of
the skim milk in the early periods Of
their lives. The next year they made
a change and held back the skim
milk for their own use. We doubt
very much if 20 cents per 100 pounds
represents the true vale of the skim
milk for feeding purposes. That may
be indicated by the actual chemical
content of the milk, but it has value
beyond that which is the value that
it has in combination with corn 1t
has been shown that corn is worth
very much more when fed with skim
milk than when fed alone. AS a bal
ancer for corn it has value that the
chemist will never be able to deter
mine. =

REFORMATION WAS TIMELY
Tall Girl Was Tall Talker Until Her

POSSIBLY I was extravagant to buy

and l had to get back at them. My
friends are nice fellows, but they have

they would before cured them-pull
out their watches every little while and
look at the time.
"Of course, have never for minute
considered that rudeness an indication
that they were tired Of my society.
Why should they be tired? If they
didn't want to hear me talk, what did
they come to see me for? That was
my line of argument, but even though
it was consoling finally struck snag.
couldn't explain the frequent refer
ence to the face of the watch.
Finally I stopped trying to explain
it; I just made up my mind that the
only way to cure those men of their
reprehensible habit was to give them
a dose of their own medicine. So l
bought this watch and began to keep
tab on them. No matter where we were
or what we were talking about I made
it point to look at my watch before
thej could get chance to ring the
turn On me.
THE maneuver swept them clear off
their feet. They didn't know what to
make of it. A few Of them got huffy
and stayed away, but most of them took
sensible view of the matter. They
never asked for explanations and |
never volunteered any, but everybody
seemed tacitly to agree that the male
sex has no monopoly on ill-breeding, and
that l have as good right to show a
disposition to get rid of them as they
have to get rid of me.
Nowadays none of us has need for a
watch. I can talk for 20 minutes at a
stretch about the kind of hair ribbons
l wore when child, or dawdle two hours
over coffee and dessert, and not man
ventures to call time. In fact, believe
the dear fellows leave their watches at
home when they come to see me for fear
they might look at them by mistake"

America as Italians See It.

The Italian people have no true con-

ed with books of views principally of
New York and the Pan-American exposi-

by the Italians in America to write home
adequate descriptions of the new land.

bitter and acrimonious dispute between
two men as to what America was like.

mills and railroads, while the other,
whose cousin worked in a New York
