PETRIFIEn INDIANS


 Joe De Champ, backWoodsman Iiy- ing in the Thief River Falls region. in northern Minnesota, has lately been en- gaged in removing the remains of h. dians from their graves in the lands soon to be opened to settlement. The Douies he reburies in places outside the ceded lands. Among the stories of his experiences in the former cemetery of the aborlgines is one regarding the nhdlhg of several perfectly petrified bodies, and the uncanny feeling which one has when he listens to the account IS intensified at the end, when it is re- lated that one of the petrifed aborigines was used as hitching post, while an- other served as a cigar sign. Eight men worked with Joe digging for the bodies of the dead Indians. Joe re- ceives $4.10 for each corpse from the Government; therefore he is exceeding ly industrious The moonbeams, filter. ing through the branches of the pines. shone down on Joe one night as he labored with picks and spade. About nm the razed fence that had been built about the final resting place of a tribal leader formed decorative festoon.
 Dig, dig. dig, stopping only to wine the precipitation from his brow. Joe labored on. He heard not the croaking of the frogs in the pond near by, nor naid he any attention to the echoing calls of the animals that roamed abroad in their noctural search for food, Eneountering what appeared to be a stone, Joe laid aside his shovel. mopped his sweaty face, and then set to work with pick. Joe is a calIous man used to looking at grin ming sulls and heaps of bones, but when he saw there, in the uncertain light, the grim eountenance of a real red man. sticking up in the hole he had made, fled for his assistants, reused them from their sleep, and enlisted their service in calming his perturbed mind and in completing the removal of the body. Finally the report reached the Chippewa village, and then there was more trouble forsDe Champ, who had various heart-to-heart talks with inquiring red people
 K The upshot of it all was the cigar sign and the hitching post have been decently buried-if, indeed, the bodies were ever used for that purpose. The petrified bodies, almost perfectly pre- served, were removed from the shallow grave with difficulty Near by another

 his friends began to ask about his re- surrection operations with mock seriousness. Altogether, Joe has taken up 11S Indians. Of this number, 26 were of the Catholic faith and were re-

1t is very important that the
ground be thoroughly pulverised
before planting the corn. If this
is neglected you can never make it
up in cultivating the corn, The
next thing to do is to plant the
corn with a drill, and harrow it off
with a levelling harrow two or
three times before the corn comes
up. Keep the crust broke just az
soon as the curn gets big enough to
plow for the first time. Plow deep
and close to the corn using u mar,
row calf tongue next to the corn.
Plow the corn every six days. The
old saying you are plowing your
|
corn too fast" is all bOsh." This is
the result OF experience and is not
guess work. Now after plowing
the corn first week deep next week
plow it three inches deep with a
fine tooth one horse cultivator go,

keep the weeds down, and then
you don't have to use the hoe. |
wouldn't give man ten cents a
day to hoe corn for me. PlOw the
corn every week from 2 to 3 inches
deep till the first Of July. Doing
this way the weeds may be kept in

a mellow soil can be more easily
worked than a bed of cIods, By
working this way YOU make dust
