ton Of the Cherokees as a party "a
the old feud. and to escape their
vengeance the boy was sent to Vcr.
mont to be educated After he had
completed his education he spent sev-
eral years in Washington, where he
studied law and was admitted to the
bar, becoming meantime an accom-
plished llnguist and musician. In 1860
he ettled in Arkansas and in 1861 re
crudted a regiment of Indians for the
Confederate service. He was moved
to this not only by his partisan feel
or dominant faction among the Cherot
KEGS. The Cherokee Unionists return
ed the hatred with compound interest
and a few months after Furnas organ
lied his Indian brigade Boudinot
went to Richmond as a member OF
the Confederate Congress and became
less conspicuous on the border.
after the war he appeared IN
Washington to urge fair settlement
with the Cherokees, and he was for
years a persistent advocate of divid-
ing the lands In Indian territory
among the Indians in seyeralty, and
giving them the rights Of citizenship.
His enemies insisted that he adopted
this course because of his hostility to
John Ross and his faction. He was
engaged in this work when / saw him
in Washington in 1881, and he kept
at it until he died at Fort Smith, Ark,

WEEDS IN AFRICA.

one OF the most frequent causes re-
ported of failures in alfalfa this sea-
SON was the destruction of the plants
Dy weeds. Many persons devoted
much work and expense to getting the
ground ready and planting the seed to
see the weeds spring up and choke the
plants in spite of all that could be
done. This discouraging situation re-
quires wisdom and frequently untried
methods to meet it. The commonest
variety of weeds reported and the
kind that causes the greatest de
~struction is the common tickle grass
v~ariously known as crab" grass,
snatch" grass, etc. This strenuous
plant has destroyed thousands of
acres of alfalfa sown last spring, and
IN The middle states where there has
been an unusual amount of rain, many
fields that were a year or more old
have been seriously damaged. Just
how to prevent this weed from doing
harm to the alfalfa has been consld-
cred by many persons and some rules
have been submitted which it Is
claimed will have the desired effect.
From a very full investigation into
the subject, conducted mainly by cor
respondence, it must be said that no
infallible method Of destroying the
weed while at the same time the al
falfa is saved, has been discovered.
One suggestion coming from a high
authority is to smother the weeds by
laying planks over the tract. This
way will need only to be mentioned
to receive the ridicule and condemna-
ton Of a practical farmer. Another
suggestion is 10 pull the weeds by
hand, leaving the alfalfa. This is not
practicable, and in fact, no way is
known of getting rid of the weeds
without destroying the alfalfa along
with them.
Many farmers plowed up their al
falfa tracts this fall and reseeded in
the hope of securing a stand and har-
rest crop next year. This is undoubt-
eddy the most sensible way TO treat
alfalfa fields overrun with tickle grass.
1t is expensive and disheartening but
no other way is sure to bring about
the desired result And even this me
thod must be followed with discretion
and judgment, for if the weeds are
turned under after the seed have par
TALLY ripened they are sure to pro-
duce a great crop which will be as
bad IS the first. An excellent plan
Is to NOW the weeds, let them dry and
then rake them up and burn before
blowing the ground. Alfalfa for en-
Slage is being tried this fall in many
sections, and while some growers have
demonstrated it's value for this pur-
pose it has not been tried generally
enough 10 establish its claim to PREF
erence for the silo. AS a matter OF
fact alfalfa dry is so much liked by
all kinds of live stock that 1t is not a
question of importance whether or
not its adaptability for the silo is es-
tablished. As a focd product alfalfa
has won its way into the hearts and
estimation of the American farmers
and it's position is secure. 1t is al
ready occupying a prominent place in
the calculations OF farmers and when
its truly wonderful qualities are more
generally understood it is sure to adj
vance to the first place of all forage
and hay crops in the country.-C. Nj.

An Army Kitten.

One evening toward the close OF the
war, while Union soldiers lay in camp
OF a hillside near the Staunton River.
Virginia, the cry of Haiti who goes
there?" from a sentry startled every
lounger to his feet, and several Of the
more curious ran to the guard-line to
find out what the trouble was. A
minute later all knew that the night
visitor, who had been challenged, was
DO enemy. A little girl about ten
years Of age, holding a white kitten
in her arms, came forward into the
light Of the fire, conducted by two
soldiers, who had told the sentry TO
pass her In, and who looked as proud
as If they were escorting a queen
The whole regiment gathered-includ-
ing the colonel himself-to look at the
child and hear her tell her story. A
very short story 1t was; scarcely a
paragraph; but there was matter
enough In it for a full chapter. She
lived near by, with her father, who
was sick and poor. and they were
Northerners, she said, and Union
folks" Her mother was dead, and
her brother had been killed while
fighting In the Federal army. She
wanted to give something" and
when the Union soldiers came she
thought she would bring her pet kit
ten and present it to the colonel.
The colonel took the little girl In
his arms and kissed her-and the kit
ten, too, and said that he was not a
bit ashamed of his weakness. He ac-
cepted the kitten with thanks, and
the innocent donor, after receiving
quite ar ovation In camp, was gallant
ly waited on to her humble home,
loaded with generous contributions.
The white kitten was adopted By
the regiment, but continued the prop
erty and the special pet Of the colonel,
and when the war was over he took IL
home with him.

To CURE A SUCKING HEIFER.

~ OOIE "a OONhlNO Il L%it.
AS all dairymen know, there is no
greater nuisance on a dairy farm
than a COW or a heifer addicted to
the habit Of sucking herself and 9th
er animals in the herd. 1t is not only
the loss of the milk that is sustained,
but it would seem that one such ami
NAL would induce others to contract
the habit. We have had our share of
this trouble with heifers.
The experience has perhaps been
"for the test," since in endeavori1g
to cope with it we have finally been
enabled to hit upon a very practical
means of breaking the habit in every
instance. The method is so simple
and Easy of application as to put IN
the shade a number of devices on the
market, and what is better it is en-
tirely satisfactory. Proceed this way
and you will have fixed for good the
most persistent sucker on the farm.
Insert in the sucking heifer's nose
an ordinary bull ring. Just before in
sorting the ring, slip on it two CON-
mon iron harness rings-of course
the harness rings are to suspend
loosely after the bull ring has been
inserted. This is the trick of it. BY
adding more than N loose ring the
animal can liz no way prevent them
from dropping in the mouth when 1t
attempts to suck. Brass bull rings
car be purchased at almost any hard
ware store for twenty-five cents each,
and the common iron harness rings
cost but a few cents per Dozen

CATTLE AND GRASS.
Careful observation and expert
ence have shown that pasturegrass,
as a rule, has never been properly
estimated. Bluegrass is about as
near a perfectly balanced food as
any that can be given. It is likely
that in the future more land will be
put to grass by cattle growers. One
who has observed its value says that
summer feeding of grain with grass
to animals of proper age is coming
into popular favor, and our best
farmers are beginning to appreciate
their grass lands as never before.
Two-year-old cattle can be fattened
more quickly than yearlings, and
yearlings more quickly than calves.
This indicates that there is more
need of holding cattle in the dry lot
than of feeding yearlings under the
same condition, because the latter
will not bear SO much forcing to
finish. And there Is a greater diff
ference between yearlings and calves.
Grass is n of natures own foods
and every year worth better prices.
The fattening of calves and y%earlings
Is increasing edcn year. 1nlS prdc-
tice should be encouraged, and is n
to be taken up %guardedly by inexperi-
enced feeders.
Calves and yearlings will make as
large gains on grass alone in sum-
mer as on roughage and grain in
winter. In feeding calves between s
and IA months of age, with and
without grain, it has been found that
the extra gain in fat will rarely pay
the extra cost of feed and labor.
Where stock is fed grain with
grass, darkened sheds should be pro
vided during fly time. Such feed
should be given as will keep indi-
yiduals gaining steadily-Indiana

AS every reader knows there is a
great deal of difference in the sure
ness of stations as foal getters. The
importance of this property in a valu-
able stallion can not be easily ove
estimated. The degree to which 1t
will be possessed by ain will depend
largely on the way he is handled.
AS a rule, the stations which
prove most sure as foal getters are
those which have been fed and exer-
cised with intelligence. This does
not mean that all classes of stations
VII be fed and exercised in the same
wav. The treatment ID these respects
thar would be proper for a heavy
Belgian or a Shire should not nee
essar:ly be proper for a Standard
bred horse or a Coacher.
For instance, it might be advan-
tageous to let the heavy horses take
all the exercise that they require IN
a roomy paddock from day to day,
where the light horses in such in
stances might be inclined to TAX TOO
much exercise if allowed to take 1t
that way. IN some instances the
draft stations are so sluggish that 1t
is necessary to set them to work
