story of Indian Encouragement"
In May, 1885, Geronimo, with band
of "a warriors, eight boys and 81
women, escaped from Fort Apache and
though pursued by cavalry for hun
dreds of miles, they reached safe
refuge. 1t is told that on .this flight
the Indians travelled 120 miles before
camping, an illustration of the powers
of endurance of these people. Mr.. E.
S. Ellis, in his book on Indian Wars
in the United States, says of the
Apache: 1T is conceded that in cum
ming, endurance, ferocity and what
may be expressed as deviltry he has
never had an equal on this continent.
Gen. Crook has seen an Apache lope

State Fair Races,

The management of the Mime sofa
state fair has fairly outdone itself in
the race program for the feir of 1908,
which has been completed and given
by Secretary E. w. Randell. The to-
tai of purses offered has been increased
by So, 900 from last year and reached
the handsome amount of $27. $50. This
is the largest amount yet offered In
purses by any western race meeting,
whether at a state fair or elsewhere.
The 2:4O class trot is cut and a els
class is inserted while the PIT class is
made 2:14. These changes meet the
views of horsemen.
Perhaps the most interesting change
is the increase for the purse of the 2:0e
pace and the 2:1O trot Formerly 2:12
from 81 900 to 81, 500 These are the
fastest classes on the program and the
increase is intended to draw out lar
ger field of starters.
The great 5000 races for Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul days are retained as
are the S., 500, 2:35 trot and $3.50 pace
introduced last year. The special nov,
city, however, is the introduction OF
two colt races, for three-year-olds OF
under, bred and owned in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa and the two Dakotas
with purses of $500 for each
The rules are substantially the same
as last year, with the popular provis
ions for substitution and withdrawal
except in this important particular:
"Horses not standing for money al
end of third heat cannot start in
fourth or fifth heats"
This is new provision for Minneso,
ia, but one which is coming in vogue
on many Eastern tracks and is said to
suit the great majority of horsemer
perfectly.

Seed Wheat.

According to Dean. w. NJ. Liggett
and Prof. c. 2. Bull of the state ex-
pertinent station, the question of a
seed wheat famine in Minnesota de-
ponds entirely on securing a proper
distribution of the supply of good seed.
"A bulletin has just been issued from
the state experiment station in
which it is said that there is enough
good seed to sow the $500, 900 acres of
wheat land, provided the supply is
properly distributed, and also provided
farmers use proper precautions in Sc

and at the same time assist in protect.
ing the states chief product.
There is an idea prevalent among
farmers that rust, like smut, is carried
from one crop to another by the use of
infected seed. This, the authorities
assert is not true. Methods have been
found for the prevention of smut, but
as yet no definite methods have been
found for the prevention of rust.
Wheat rust is propagated by spors
and from field to field. Precaution is
the only way the farmer has combat
ing rust. The authorities claim that
all stubble and rubbish which would
tend to Sharbor the spors of this DIS
ease should be burned, and crop rota-
ton practiced. After these precau-
tons have been observed and some
rust-resistant variety of wheat is plan
ted the farmer will be reasonably sure.

not easy for the fancy to picture
Geronimo as farmer.
When first captured he was sent to
Fort Pickens, Florida, and from there
transferred to Mount Vernon, Ala
bama. Later he was sent to Fort Sill,
at which fort about 80 prisoners of
war have been kept in kind Of cap
tivity. Geronimo has virtually been
free here, and been paid the sum of
$35 a month as a scout. Here Geron-
imo has been accounted model pris-
oner. Only once in the ten years of
his residence at Fort Sill has he tried
to escape, and that was at the time
Of the excitement over the impending
war with Spain; the excuse he gave
for the attempt was that he desired
to enlist as a scout and fight against
the Spaniards. He did not succeed in
getting away, and since has appeared
docile enough, but somewhat proud
and reserved.
It was not so very long ago he was
frontier terror, name greatly feared
by the people of western Texas, the
territories of Arizona and New Mex
leo. In 1882, Gen. George Crook, that
veteran Indian fighter, had bearded
Geronimo in his stronghold in the
Sierras and by some means been able
to get the leader and his band to sur
render themselves as prisoners OF war.
Crook, trying pacific measures for
ruling the troublesome Indians, In
some miraculous fashion got together
all the Apaches in New Mexico and
Arizona, save one tribe, at Camp
Verde and Camp Apache, and set them
to work digging irrigating bitches,
planting vegetables cutting hay and
wood. At least it looked as though
the Indian problem was being solved.
"The Transformation was marvellous.
Here were 5000 Of the worst indians
in America sloughing off their old skin
and taking on new life. Detach-
ments of the scouts were retained in
service to maintain order, and also
because money would in that way be
distributed among the tribes. Some
few at first spent their money foolish
ly, but the majority dubbed together

sheep. Trials by juries of their own

Capt. Lawton, on the superstition

his plan of attack and start in pursuit
