ONEIDAS' SACRED STONE.
Last Relic of Once Powerful Tribe Now
in Utica Cemetery

Just within the gates of Forest Hill
cemetery at Utica, \. Y, the visitor
sees a curious oval stone resting upon
a grass plot. A century ago Oneida
county was the reservation of the pow
erful tribe Of Oneida Indians, the sec
Ond nation in the confederation of the
Iroquois.
The first settlement of the Oneidas, so
their history runs, was near the lake
which bears their name, a century before
Columbus steered his ships into western
seas. 1t was there that they found the
stone and adopted it as their sacrifcial
altar 'Onia' is the dialect word for
stone and from it comes Oneida" the
tribal name, children of the stone.'
As the tribe increased in numbers,
generation of the monolith grew until it
became the Indispensable shrine of the
Oneidas. When the nation removed
from the region of the lake to their en-
campment where now is the town of
Stockbridge, the rock, according to their
legend, went before them without the
assistance of human hands, and depos-
tied itself in the center of a butternut
grove overlooking 4 wide and fertile val
ley.
In this wood it remained until the in
fux of the white settlers and the march
of civilization dispersed the tribe. In
1S49, when the Forest Hill cemetery
at Utica was laid out, the trustees
learned that James Gregg of Stock
bridge, on whose farm the stone rested.
was DESTROYS that it should be removed
to some public enclosure. Its removal
was thereupon secured.
At the dedication of the cemetery the
remnants of the once powerful nation
and handful of OnOndagaS were pres
ent. Their head chief, Ononeogon, made
an address which was the valedictory of
the Oneidas. The little group of In
dams then sang their national songs
around the relic and surrendered it TO
the care of their white brethren. Today
the tribe has completely lost its iden-
tity.-New York Sun.

Well Houses and PuIIeys.

houses and pulleys on wells which he
saw in Colorado.
Of course, these are familiar Oh
jects to almost all country people;
but nevertheless there are many wells
that go uncovered. 1t is not a great
matter, it is true, but still it is worth
the cost and trouble to put q neat
roof, closed in. over the well, for the
protection of the rope, if one is used
and also for keeping dirt from falling
into the water, not to speak of pre-
venting danger to life.
The old-fashioned open we'll is no
longer used to any great extent, but
when it is, using bucket and pulley
or windlass to draw the water has the
advantages of economy and simplicity,
not to speak of picturesqueness, but
the water is not made any better by
the we'll being open.

WOULD HERALD PRESIDENT.
Gen. Corbin Suggests National Statutes
for Inauguration Day.

In the report of Major General Corbin.
cOmmander-in-chief of the United States
army in the Philippines, for the fiscal
year 1905, Gen. Corbin suggests that the
Inauguration of President should be
heralded throughout the possessions of
the United States. He recommends that
the army regulations be amended to pro-
viding for the firing of a national salute
at noon on inauguration day at every
army post.
He recommends reconsideration of the
ruling of the chief of staff of the army
that no more colonies with civil war rec
ords be promoted to he permanent briga-
der generals. He prophesies that the
Philippines in the near future will not
only furnish their own coal supply but
will compete with Australia and Japan
in the markets of Singapore.

Feeding of Injured Horses.

Feeding plays more prominent part
in the healing of wounds in farm ami
mails than is commonly supposed. This
applies in particular in the case of
horses. 1t is a well-established fact
that liberal feeding with grain is very
injudicious when animals are suffer
ing from severe wounds. Such feeding
is found to "inflame" the system, and
to retard rather than hasten the heal
ing of any injuries from which the
animals may be suffering. For this
reason veterinarians always recon-
mend the use of cooling, laxative foods
such as bran mashes and green stuff,
in all cases where animals are laid I'D

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestirnated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of mbltlon; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head! A sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con-
slant illness is a serious
drain upon the funds of A.

Big. Boned Steers Not Best.
There was time, though it was
many years ago, when the big-boned
steer that weighed 1880 to 1900
pounds, was looked for by the buyers
Of beeves, but now the animal that is
sought by the butchers is one that
weighs from 1900 to 1900 pounds.
We have long since found out that
the cheapest meat is made on young
animals, and the money thus invested
is soonest ready to be turned over
Not only is the money tied up longest
N old animals, but the cost of pro-
ducing meat on them is so great that
our best beef feeders are no longer
attempting to do that The method
now is to keep the animals growing
right along from birth to the period
when they weigh what the market de-
mands.
Steers are now ready for the market
at two years old or under. If all the
animals shipped to the stock yards
were Of this kind there would not be
much complaint about poor returns In
stock breeding and beef-making. A
good many farmers are still trying to
make profitable beef on old steers. But
the young steer is the only animal that
gives US any promise Of a proft.-Ex-
change.
Cow Feeding.
The food supplied to the dairy COW
is designed to serve two purposes.
The first and the one that always
does and always must take precedence,
is the keeping UP Of the machinery Of
life. The animal heat must be main
tanned, and the constant wear and
waste of the bones and tissues of the
body must be replaced. All this must
be done whether any milk is produced
or not. If suitable material then re-
mains it will be utilized for the sec
ond purpose Of the food, which is the
production of milk. The man who
gives his cows but little food can OBJ
tain but little milk from them, simply
because they have very little material
from which to make it. This rule ap-
plies just as fully to the best COW in
the country as it does to the poorest
one
