campment Seated on smooth pieces OF
bark, they glided down the icy declivi-
ty with as much apparent pleasure as
though they were the children Of civ
ilization. Among them one little urcf
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 seat.
It not unfrequently 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 unh ea;thy conditions.
Such tendency is found, without ex-
ception, in every aboriginal commune

DRY FARMING.

''Dry farming is 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
1rrigable 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
it 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 five 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 "critter" 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.

mother would never consent and It
was out Of the question for them both
to go. There was but one thing she
could do and that was to remain at

not without a struggle and many tears

crime was no heroine, just a common

Mrs. Sanders suggested that she begin

Catherine, what do you mean? 2" Then
a sudden light broke over her face and
laying trembling hand on Ter daugh-

more against it, but let me ind my
happiness In my own way"
And such avacation as It was: the
neighbors talk Of it yet when food for
gossip over back fences is at low ebb.
Happily Mrs. Sanders and Catherine

THE PASSING s INDIAN !. \ |
CAUSES LEADING TO THE EX-
TINCTIoN OF THE RACE.
Though a Hardy People They Are
Living Under the Most Adverse
Conditions Possibl 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-
sonal 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 Navajoes, 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 the shamOles 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 fiat mud roof Of log

for it and crafty that brutal sense of
power over others which money gives.

because the getting of it has become

NO RACE SUICIDE AMONG BIRDS.
We are asked how many Of our
birds raise more than one brood OF
young in a season. The English spar
row, the most prolific of any of our
common birds, will begin nesting in
March and keep it up, until July and
sometimes even later. It is safe to
say that they will hatch from two to
four broods in a season. The quail
will sometimes hatch two broods in
season. and many other birds, If they
have their nests broken up or young
destroyed, will incubate the second
time; but, as general rule, all our
birds, with the exceptions noted, raise
but one brood Of young in a year. This
is q wise provision Of nature; other
wise birds would easily become one Of
the greatest plaques with which the
farmer and fruit grower would have
to contend.
