GIVE THEM THE GLAD HAND.
Southern Farmers Would Do Well
to Pay Some Attention to the
New Settlers.

The farmers of the south would DO
well to encourage these classes, for
they will need their assistance before
a child born to-day will have reached
maturity. The writer has had some
experience in the work of immigration,
and the greatest drawback comes from
thel ack of attention in a social way
by the southern people to the incom-
ing homeseekers. They are not given
the hearty welcome they should have
to make them contented with their
new homes. A kindly sympathetic ex-
preston of good will. readiness to
help them in adjusting their new re-
lations. will do more than all else to
make immigrants satisfied and con-
tented. A contented immigrant is the
most powerful lever that can be used
to secure others. Such one is anxious
that his kinspeople should come and
share the advantages that he enjoys.
If. on the other hand, he is discon-
tented: il his neighbors look upon him
with indifference, disdain or suspicion;
il he is not welcomed in the society
of the native population of his own
social class, he becomes a powerful
agent in repelling others, and he tries
| to sell out and leave region where
he has no associates and is out OF SYM
pathy with his neighbors. The wives
and daughters are usually the ones
who become most easily discouraged.
They miss the social ties Of their OLD
homes. They find it oftentimes diff
cult to make new friends among the
women of the south. However cultl-
waited they may be, it takes time and
patience to win place in the best So
|, ciety of the southern states. In these
; circumstances it Is not to be won
dered at that they ply their husbands
. with ceaseless opportunities to seei
other localities where their socla
status may be more easily adjusted anf
defined. This gives rise to the creation
of the greatest external impeachment u
, southern immigration.
ri Immigrants going back to their oil
! homes in the north, after undergoing
r the lack of social attention, are Away
: Industrious in circulating facts o
preiudices to the disadvantage OF tn
south. They even underestimate tn
e material benefits of the south. Thei
e prejudices become extreme, and SIN
e gle man may prevent hundreds fror
e seeking a home where the social con
q ditions are not satisfactory. 1t is har
K to find a remedy for this drawback
: immigration, and yet it exists In e'
; cry state to a greater or less degre'
4 but happily is growing less and les

y this state of things is to have enoue

e TO be associates for one another. Sue
70 colonies have been built up In u

S. perous and happy in their new nome

prosperity and for the prosperity al

DRY EARNNG.

Dry farming is q method Of work
Ing the soil which is being applied
with much success in the semiarid re-
gions of Wyoming and Colorado This
Is perhaps one of the most significant
and far reaching things connected with
agriculture at the present time. There
are millions of acres of fertile land in
the regions referred to which are not
trrigable either for want OF water
supply or because the topography of
the country will not admit of it. This
new method is an outgrowth OF what
is known as the Campbell system.
The plan Is to plow the soil very deep
in the fall or late summer, making
1t a receptive and retentive bed for
what small amount Of moisture falls,
giving light surface cultivation fol-
lowing each rain to prevent evapora-
ton In the spring the crop is sown
or planted as elsewhere, followed by
surface cultivation of such crop to as
great degree as possible. The results
are really remarkable, as much as
thirty-fiye bushels Of the finest wheat
In the world being secured from land
which was not long ago dedicated to
the prairie dog and such scant grass
growth that each ''crttter" was given
twenty-five acres to browse It Is
found that the best results are OBJ
tained when the land is cropped only
every other year, the interim being de-
voted to such treatment Of the soil, as
Indicated above, as will store up the
largest amount OF moisture possible.
It looks as though the great American
desert was to be reclaimed after all.

dtefs. Wrapped in single blanket he
lay on the lee side of a great stick
chimney, from which he possibly OBJ
tanned some warmth, and In inclement
weather some protection from the rain
and the snow. He came down from
his aerte each morning, sometimes wet
from the rain or melting snow. and al
ways numb from the cold. He was
little worse Oh, however, in these re-
spects, than the great body of his
people, among whom the practice
common to sleep where night found
them, without regard to protection
from rain or cold, unless some natural
provisions were found on the spot.
Unfortunately, the Navajo people
furnish no exception to the common
practice OF self-inposed hardships
among all our aboriginal inhabitants.
When Sitting Bull and his Sioux
followers camped near Fort Randall
soon after the Rosebud war. they pre-
pared no protection for themselves or
their families from the severe weather
of Dakota winter, except that af-
forded by canvas or skin covered
tepees. 1t was no uncommon thing to
sea them moving about in their en-
cagapment during the winter, wadins
through the snow in their bare feet
their naked bodies covered only by
thin woolen blankets of native weav-
ing. Their children the meanwhile en-
gagged without restraint in out door
amusements and with seemingly little
discomfort from the cold. The bows es-
peclally spent much of their time out
of doors, engaged principally in coast
ing down little deelivity near the en-
campment Seated on smooth pieces of
bark, they glided down the icy declivi-
ty with as much apparent pleasure as
though they were rhe children Of civ
ilization. Among them one little urer
in was accustomed to use a small tin
dinner plate as his means OF rapid
transit. Before each descent he was
careful to arrange a fold of his blan-
ket upon the plate to serve for a seat.
1t not unfrequentiy happened. how
ever, that the fold became displaced.
and in such case he went down with al
part OF his bare person in contact
with the smooth, icy surface of the de-
clivity. But it is needless to multiply
illustrations OF the tendency of the In
dian habit to unhealthy conditions.
Such tendency is found, without ex-
ceptiOn, in every aboriginal commune
ity.

The PASSING INDIAN |
CAUSES LEADING TO THE H-
TINCTIoN OF THE RACE
Though a Hardy People They Are
Living Under the Most Adverse
Conditions Possible-Soon
All Will Be Gone.

Our North American Indians are re-
garded by scientists as hardy race.
The correctness of this classification
seems to be fully sustained by the fact
that under the most adverse conditions
possible, the vital statistics of the
tribes show comparatively small loss
over gain. This loss, however, it may
be observed, goes on year after year.
and is gradually accomplishing the ex-
tinction OF families and tribes. and
constantly bringing nearer the final in
evitable extinction of the race.
To those acquainted with the Indian
in his native state, and aware by per-
soual contact of the unfavorable self
imposed conditions in his daily life,
there seems no greater wonder than
that the entire race has not long since
ceased to exist. No more rigorous con-
dition tending to undermine health
and tax physical strength could be de-
vised than those that commonly pre-
vail among these people.
The nomadic Nayaloes, occupying
the mountain region Of Arizona, and
living the simple life to which they are
necessarily confined, would seem to en-
joy the means Of perfect physical de-
velopment and q natural safeguard
against the common ills to which poor
humanity is heir. But the utter disre-
gard of healthful habits prevalent
among them utterly nullifies these ad-
vantages.
Usually considerable number OF
these people gather about the military
stations along the border, where they
exc out miserable existence as scav-
engers Of ths shameless and garbage
dumps. Among these unwelcome visit
ors the writer recalls young Navajo
who remained for some months at a
frontier military station. During the
summer the young Indian slept in the
forest adjoining the station, and in the
winter upon the fat mud roof OF log
building occupied Dy company of sol.
