man has lived for many years in a
twostory frame dwelling which the
government erected for him near to
the agency at Pine Ridge, but he has
constantly refused to accept an allot-
ment of land, insisting that the gov
out the Indian working any, and that
he would starve before he would ac-
cept a piece of land and work like a
squaw. And so bitter has the big
chief been against the whites that he
has always refused to learn a single
word of English, and to-day can speak
only the Sioux language. But he now
says that he knows that he Is wrong
and will learn the words and the talk
of his white brother.
Although Red Cloud is the owner Of
the best house on the reservation. the
old fellow himself has refused to live
within its walls, and, instead, sleeps
in a tepee in one corner of the yard.
His squaw, Mary, and daughter, Susie
Kills Chief, sleep in the house and do
the cooking on a government stove,
but Red Cloud loves the free outdoors
and refuses to enter the building ex-
cept when 1t Is absolutely necessary
for him to do so.
The old man is going to have his
hair cut. For the first time since he
was a papoose will Red Cloud visit a
barber shop. Never has q pair of scis-
sors or clippers touched the old fell
lows head, and his black, glossy locks
(black despite his great age) reach far
down his back. On this point the old
Indian has long fought the edict of
the Indian department, that all In
dams should wear short hair. He in
sisted that any man could wear long
hair if he wanted to, and he positive
" refused to permit his own locks TO
be shorn.
Major Brennan, the Indian agent at
Pine Ridge, as well as the officials of
the department at Washington, are all
particularly well pleased over the de-
termination of Red Cloud to accept
civilization, and expect that his ex-
ample will be followed by a number
of the older chiefs, who have taken
the cue from the great war leader and
themselves have refused to accept an
allotment of land. Many Of the young
er braves, too, who have sullenly ac-
cepted the benefits and gladly absorb
ed the vices of the white civilization.
are now expected to follow the lead
ership of old Red Cloud and go to
work for their livings.
Two years ago the government cut
off the supplies of many of the able
bodied Sioux, forcing them to go to
work and support themselves. But
their work has always been done in
sullen, half-hearted manner, because
the leading chiefs Of the tribe refused
to work, and, being old men, their ra-
lions were continued But this will
now be changed. since Red Cloud, the
greatest of them all, has decided that
it is no disgrace to work
Old Red Cloud has been wonderful
man in his days. He was the fiercest,
most bloodthirsty and most capable
leader of the red men on the plains
during the thirty years of his warfare
against the white people. Beginning
life as young. unknown brave, with
out follower, he fought his way up
ward until at the age of thirty years
he was the leading chief of the Sioux
and was the war commander Of 90
coo braves.

A New Bordeaux MIXTURE.


The following formula is a cheap,
easily made, and said TO be very effec-
tive mixture for the killing of fungus
diseases on plants or trees: In one
barrel dissolve 6 pounds of copper sui
plate in % gallons water; in another,
IA pounds washing soda in 25 gal
Ions water. When dissolved empty the
soda solution into the other, stirring
thoroughly. This mixture in its gen
eral appearance resembles the old
Boreaux mixture, but is supposed to
be stronger and quicker in its effects.
When Ii stands a while a deposit will
form at the bottom, but little stirring
is sufficient to mix it for spraying
smooth and even.

Some poultry raisers clean out 4
good many of the old birds In mid
summer, and in this way make. room
for the chickens. If this is done and
the young birds are then allowed to
go on the roosts, nail a board four or
six inches in width the whole length
of the perch. This will prevent chook-
ed breastbones which are likely to re-
suit from roosting on narrow perches
or poles.
