and started for the Indian reservation
where the Carlisle Indian originally
came from, and where we were to hire
Indians for Il show. We rode about
40 miles in hired buckboards, and just
as the sun was setting there appeared
in the distance an Indian camp, where
smoke assembled from tepees, tents and
bark houses. When the civilized Carlisle
Indian jumped up on the front seat of
the blackboard and gave a series of
yells that caused pas bald head to
look ashamed that it had no hair to
stand on end, there came a war
whoop from the camp, Indians, squaws,
dogs, and everything that con-
tanned a noise letting out yells that
made me sick. The Carlisle Indian
began to pull off his citizen clothes of
civilization, and when the horses ran
down to the camp N front of the
chiefs tent the tribes welcomed the
Carlisle prodigal son, who had re-
moved every evidence of civilization,
except a pair of football pants, and
thus he re%instated himself with the af-
fections of his race, who Rugged him
for Joy.
Pa and the rest of us sat in the buck
board while the Indians began to feast
on something cooking in a shack. We
looked at each other for awhile, not
daring to make a noise for fear it
would offend the Indians. Pretty soon

the band, the surging crowds around
the ticket wagon, and the cheers from
the seats. 1t almost seemed as though
there had been a funeral in the family,
and we were sitting around in the
cold parlor waiting for the lawyers to
read the will. But in a couple of
days pa got busy, and he hired a young
Indian who was a graduate of Car
Isle, as an interpreter, and a reformed
cowboy, to go with us to the cattle
ranges, and an old big game hunter
who was to accompany us to the places
where we could find buffalo and griz-
Fly bears. Pa chartered a car to take
us west, and after the Indian and the
cowboy and the hunter got sobered up,
on the train, and got the st. Louis
ptomaine poison out of their systems,
and we were going through Kansas,
pa got us all into the smoking COM
paftment.

to know that this expedition is backed
by the wealth of the circus world, and
that there is nothing cheap about it.
We are to hire, regardless of expense,

Lost a Railroad.

"A champagne dinner once cost st.
Joseph, Mo-, the Union Pacific rail-
road" said W. H. Smith, of Mary
vile, while in a reminiscent mood the
other night. "The Union Pacific aid
bill was up for consideration in con-
gress in the early SOS. 1t fixed st.
Joseph as the eastern terminus of the
road. While the bill was under con-
s%ideration a banquet was held at St.
Joseph. 1t was attended by many of
the leading men of the town. After
they had filled up on champagne a
question arose as to which flag should
float from the city hall. The confed-
crate flag was finally decided on, and
in the morning the Stars and Stripes
were hauled down and the stars and
bars hoisted. The news reached
Washington that very day while the
Union Pacific bill was still under con-
sideration. Senator Pomeroy moved
that the name st. Joseph, No. be
| stricken from the bill and Omaha,
Neb., be substituted. The amendment
carried and st. Joseph thereby lost the

PASSING OF THE WOOD TIE
Immense Drain on Timber Is Abat-
ing Since Steel Has Been
introduced

The friends of the forest may be graft.
fed by the cessation Of a great drain
upon timber through the cessation OF
its use as crossties for railways. With
an average of $500 to the mile, Amer
lean roads consume 10000, 900 ties per
annum. AS the yield is two ties to tbs
tree, 10000, 900 trees are consumed an
nually for this purpose. The average
life of a wood tie is eight years. The
steel tie is now coming into use. They
weigh Is to the ton and cost 50 apiece
But their life is rs years, so that in the
end, they cost no more than a wood tie
that has to be relaid three times in
that period. To replace wood with steel
on American railways would require
100000 tons of steel, without count
ing in the electric, cable, elevated and
horse street roads of the country.
The use of structural iron and steel
in building in place of the wooden frame
has greatly economical the timber Of
the country, though this economy is,
unfortunately, offset by the insatiate
wood pulp mill. With steel ties on our
railroads and the substitution of some
annual crop for paper pulp, our forests
would stand some chance for their lives
1t is not yet settled that steel will serve
the purpose of wood for ties for lack d
flexibility. The wood tie bends and re-
covers its lines. This prevents the hard
hammering that shakes apart the joints
of cars and increases the wear of wheels
Only s can determine whether steel
will do. The Pennsylvania road has
already put steel on important parts
of its track, and if 1t be approved by
that road its use will soon become gen.
eral and the section gang will be re-
lieved of much of the work heretofore
required of it. If it be found fit, its use
will give a great impulse to the pro-
duction of steel, the material for ties.

WHAT LIMITS CORN YIELD.
Low Protein Corn More Apt to Do Well
on Land Poor in Nitrogen Than
High Protein Corn.

Regarding the yield of corn it seems
quite possible that upon land whose
productive capacity is limited by the
supply of available nitrogen the low
protein Or high starch corn may yield
better than the high protein corn,
provided the two kinds of corn are
equal in other respects, as in germ.
mating power, vigor of growth, root
development, etc. My opinion is that
if we have use for high protein corr
we should produce it and by means
Of %leguminous crops we should pro.
vide the growing corr crop with as
much nitrogen as it can profitably
use. OF course this principle applies
not only to nitrogen, but to all of the
elements Of fertility. There is no
economy in allowing any crop to grow
in a half starved condition, any more
than there is in keeping growing ami.
mails on a mere maintenance ration,
We should provide not only the nj.
trogen, but we should also make sure
that the supply of phosphorus and
potassium is sufficient for maximum
profitable crop yields.
In this connection it may be stated
that the evidence thus far obtained
from soil Investigations In the corr
belt indicates that the supply of nj
trogen is abundant in most soils, in.
deed that large amounts of nitrogen
are annually passing off in drainage
waters, that phosphorus and not nj
trogen is the element which commonly
limits the yield of the corn crop, and
that the chief effect OF clover upon q
succeeding crop of corn is due to the
phosphorus liberated by the decaying
clover ~residues, the fixation of nj
trogen being of secondary import

He was taken to the hospital ani
recovered in the course Of time. Hi:
accident cost him his savings as vel
as his legs, and after he got around
again his friends subscribed seyera
hundred dollars and sent Mike to Chi
cago to get two cork substitutes.
He came back in a month or two
walking spryly, but he didn't seem tt
be the same old Mike. People looked
at him as he creaked down the stree
and wondered. Finally, a committee
of his friends asked him about it.

do to you up there in Chicago besides
making you a pair of legs?"

urged against the timbered, shady road
side.
Nevertheless, after all is said there
are few people who do not like to ride
along the shady roadway; it Is always
admired; few farmers are willing that
full grown, thrifty trees should be
sacrificed, and not i~nfrequently the
farm itself will command a better price
per acre simply because the prospective
purchaser is pleased and delighted with
the stately, comfortable and wholesome
feeling that the shady roadside gives to
the farm.
A type of the shady roadside is shown
in our illustration. The trees are pines,
but pines need not be used unless de-
sired. They are frequently admired be-
cause of their evergreen appearance.
The oak and the elm are often much adj
mired, and may be grown successfully
in almost any northern climate.
