Dances of Indians.

Ghost and snake dances are not so
FREQUENT as formerly, although in the
indian territory white men are some
times permitted to view such spec
tacles. In the ghost dance performers
are fantastically arrayed, and the

beans six to eight inches apart in
the row. Some planters have spe-
cial attachments for planting beans,
The ground SHOULD be narrowed after
the beans are planted and the surface
may be thoroughly cultivated at that
time. The only cultivation necessary
to grow them is frequent stirring OF
the surface to keep down weeds and
retain moisture Deep blowing should
be avoided, since it is unnecessary
and harmful.
The beans should be allowed to
ripen and become brown before be-
ing picked. 1t is usually best to all
low them to become as dry as pos
sible, so as not to shell out in hand
ling. There are several contrtyances
for pulling and cutting the beans,
one of the simplest and most practl'
cal is shown in the cut
1t consists of a knife, which may
be made by any blacksmith, which
is bolted to the stock of an ordinary
single shovel pillow. With one morse
this instrument may be used to cut
several acres a day The pillow should
be held so that the knife passes along
just under the surface Of the ground,
cutting the bean stems about one-haif
inch below the surface.
After allowing the beans to dry
and the leaves to wilt, they may be
gathered into piles with fourtined
fork, where they may be allowed to
remain for day or two if the weather
is dry. They should then be hauled 10

their custom of killing horses and

the medicine men but the people
claim to hold communion with the
Chindi, or spirits of their ancestors
They are also great believers in
omens, talismans and amulets, but
are very conservative and it is with
difficulty that one gets them to dis
.cuss things supernatural. They will
not talk about God among their own
people with familiarity, and scarcely
at all with the white man. ..' .

of New York, an expert in such pur-
suits,
Mr. Vom Hofe captures devil fish

He says he finds them in groups OF

Down in the historic Southwest
that portion of the American continent
whose ancient civilization antedates
possibly, that OF even old Egypt q
wonderful work of transformation Is
going on The magic OF irrigation Is
again making populous and wealthy
the wonderfully fertile lands OF Ari-
IONA. which In ages gone by supported
great cities and a dense agricultural
population The most remarkable
single instance OF this development is
seen In the warm and sunny valley OF
the Salt River. where by means OF
irrigation the city OF Phoenix has
arisen. and is soon destined to become
one Of the large cities OF the South
west through the construction OF the
enormous Tonic BASIN Reservoir.
A Homecrofter.s' Village is now be-
ing formed near Phoenix it Is the out
growth of and combines three great
IDEAS
l. That the national government
should irri-ate the deserts and drain
the swamps TO create opportunities for
men TO get homes on the land who
want only sufficient land each to oc-
cupy and use and inter siveIy cultivate
with his own labor.
p That the men WI, want such
homes should be aided Z, get them by
m organization which should work
solely for the benefit Il the Home
seeker and aid him in svery possible
way to get the best quality OF land in
small tracts for the lowest possible
price with perfect titles and water
rights
3. That the success OF the Home
seekers who secure those homes should
be promoted through an organization
which would plan TO aid in building
village communities where the highest
possible advantages OF education. CO.
operation and social life and the most
attractive rural environment would
surround the homes and be part of the
home life OF the residents OF the vii
lage.
To carry into practical operation
these three great ideas. three separate |
organizations were in turn planned |
and formed by George H. Maxwell |
The first idea was carried out through |
The National Irrigation Association. |
which conducted great campaign for
national irrigation resulting in the en-
actment OF the National Irrigation Act
In June. 1908
The second idea was formulated and /
put into working operation through i
the organization OF the Rural Settle
lnents Association
The third idea has been embodied
in an organization recently formed
called the Homecrofters' Gid OF the
