HE EXCITES OUR PITY

Poor old Chauncy Depew, we
sincerely pity him.
Famed on two continents as a
matchless orator. The greatest
story teller of our times. The
MAN TO whom public appreciation
was tho breath of life. The res
titution tardily made to the
Equitable Life Insurance com
pany of two hundred thousand
dollars lost by the Depew Invest
ment company eased his con-
science, but it could never re-
store him to the graces of the
American people as the man OF
unsullied honor When con
gress met in November last he
was back in his old place, but a
sensitive soul and a stricken
conscience conveyed the infor-
nation that things were not as
they used to be. The genial
smile that once brought a throng
of admirers around him in the
Hobbies of the senate had lost its
potency. Ordinary men, men
that he had made virtue of en-
during, but still men whose
names had never been coupled
with shady transactions, walked
by him with head erect. All
this, and more, was too much
for the proud and sensitive
Chauncy. The famed pOstpran-
dial orator and wit, the rencon-
teur, whose stories were eagerly
sought by the reporters has
hied him away to the seclusion
of a friends castles, and there
he has pinned ever since over
his vanished glory. The scep-
ter has departed from him for
ever.
No more the suave and pol
ished Chauncy will delight the
college boys with his presence
and oratory.
He is al idol fit for the human
junk shop.
AS if his cup of sorrow was
not already full to overlooking,
his wife threatens to bring action
for separation.
How applicable is the solilo
guy of Cardinal Wolsey:
Farewell, u long farewell to all my greatness !
This is the state Of man: Today he puts forth
The tender leaves OF hope, tomorrow blossoms,
Ana bears his blushing honours thick upon him !:
The third day comes frost, killing frost;
And,-when he thinks, good easy man, full
surely
His greatness is ripening, his root
And then he falls as do. have ventura,
Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in a sea OF glory;
But far beyond my depth: my high blown pride
Weary, and old with service, to the mercy
OF rude stream that must forever hide me.
Vain pomp and glory OF this world, / hate We.

HORSE NOTES.

More vicious horses are made so by
Ill and injudicious reatment AMI IRA n
ing than by inheritance. A good sen-
sible horse possesses hi h h-s;rlnS
nervous temperament that Will not
brook teasing. nagging and abuse. A
horse controlled through fear Will
sooner or later break over such
bounds and cause trouble. Kindness
of action and word is much more ef-
ficacious for control of most horses
than violent language and harsh
treatment.
The we'll trained horse of whatever
breed or type is much more desirable
and possesses a higher market value
than the wild, skittish and awkward
animal of same size and quality. The
best method of horse training on the
farm Is to begin handling the colt In
infancy, make 1t halter wise" and by
persistent, patient and kind treatment
secure its confidence and friendship.
Prohibit all monkey shines by the
boys among the colts-and horses,
also.
The public watering trough-that
most effective disseminator OF CLAN
ders, distemper and other contagious
horse ailments-is again i'll commits
sion. When driving to and fro on the
highways farmers would do we'll to
use a bucket for watering their horses
rather than risk exposure to contagi-
Gus diseases. Watch the number and
character of "crowbaits" that patron
izez a public watering trough during
a half day in warm weather and you
will realize the force of this admoni-
ton.
Be very careful how you go into the
stall by the side of a strange horse.
Some horses are extremely sensitive
when thus approached, and are likely
either to kicn or to bite the one who
does 1t. Never enter the stall of any
horse. no matter how well you may
be acquainted with it, without speak
ing to 1t.

SCHOOL GARDENS.

One of the many striking evidences
of the great changes wrought during
the last century is in the pedagogical
method employed at the present time.
Many OF the new departures proved
to be fads and departed this life with
out leaving footprints on the sands of
time, but no one can question the wis
dom OF Incorporating in the curricu-
lum of our common schools some
practical knowledge of the nature that
supplies us with our healthiest foods,
and that is the purpose of the school
garden, which Is now being brought
forward to the attention of the public.
The school garden idea adopts, in a
manner, the practical mode of teach
ing so forcibly carried out by Mr..
Squeers, of Dotneby's hall. When a
scholar has learned that botany means
a knowledge of plants ''he goes and
knows EN-" In Leipsic the pupils
are taught botany in the form of ap-
piled horticulture; that is, they learn
to graft, to plant and to transplant.
and a special incentive is afforded to
cultivate home gardens. In Sweden
the idea is still further elaborated up
on, and the garden includes hotbeds,
summer houses, fountains, etc, and
the government gives bonus for
each Garden established.
Manual training in this county has
been confined mostly to the use of
shop tools with a view of shortening
the distance between the graduates
pocket and the great American dollar.
This is an error. The school garden
would bring better results for the
same amount of time spent. 1t would
turn out grafters of an entirely diff
ferent kind from those with which the
word is now associated. 1t would help
to make horticultural ventures more
successful financially. aid in the dis
covery and propagation of new and
valuable varieties, and strengthen the
body as well as the mind.
The school garden would be nothing
more nor less than good. old-fashioned.

hot haste of examining down senseless
facts and jumbled figures.

IN FAVOR OF SHEEP.

Sheep have way of utilizing by
products which no other animals
seem to have. says a publication of
the Iowa Agricultural college. or the
400 or 500 different plants which may
be found in any locality sheep will
eat all but a very small percentage,
while cattle and other stock will
touch only little over one half
Even II sheep are turned into an ideal
pasture they will now and then nibble
at the weeds; determination of the
weeds results. When the grain is har-
vested and taken from the fed the
place for the sheep is the stubble.
Rose bushes, wild buckwheat and the
weeds and grasses to be found in the
fence corners and fence rows fall vic
tins to them and furnish fall feed,
thereby fulfilling a two-fold purpose
for their owners: that of destroying
these pests and converting these
waste products into good mutton and
wool. The lamb crop may be fattened
and developed in the corn fields in the
fall. If at the last cultivation of the
corn dwarf essex rape is planted be-
tween the rows in the moist soil 1t
will make very rapid growth and by
weaving time it will be ready for the
lambs. Old sheep cannot be turned
in this way because they will pull
down the corn: lambs, however. will
do no damage, but on the other hand
they will eat much of the pigeon
grass and other weeds.

The auto evil will soon be in evil
dence from one end of the land to the
other. Just as soon in the spring as
the farmer gets his roads menGed, the
drivers of the gasoline engines will
come rushing along-always selecting
the best, and halting for nothing when
they are in a hurry to get there"
and they are generally in hurry.
The efforts made by farmer members
of the various legislatures to have en-
acted adequate laws to safeguard the
public highways from the auto evil
have, we believe. proved abortive in
every state; not single effective law
has been passed anywhere, and rural
people must continue to suffer as
heretofore. Just in proportion to the
increase of the numbo- of autos Ii
censed to invade the public roads. the
mischief will be aggravated, and the
number of outrages be multiplied

ROTATION AND SOIL FERTILITY

Only during recent years farmers
are coming to more fully realize that
systematic rotation secures the main
tenance of fertility with increase in
the production of crops. All plants do
not equally draw the elements of
plant food from the soil. Their roots
are sent to different depths in the soil
and have different solvent action
upon the constituents they reach. Ro-
tation tends to disperse insects and
fungous diseases are reduced ma
terially. Weeds are more readily
eliminated. the soil is maintained In
good tilth, the humus compounds of
the soil are increased and the work
of the farm generally is more easily
and naturally disturbed.
Schemes of rotation should have
the growing of at least one legum.n-
GUS crop. By this means large sup
plies of nitrogenous food are secured
from the air. Potash and phosphoric
acid, If lacking in available forms.
must be supplied by manure or ferti-
liZer, unless caustic lime Is used to
break down these latent minerals and
convert them into soluble plant food
Stock raising. dairying and poultry
keeping are profitable lines to carry
on in the scheme for improving the
fertility of soils. No one system of
rotation can be successfully applied
to all conditions of soil, climate and
markets

THE SPREADER PAYS.

The manure spreader is one Of the
most important essentials in the
economic handling of farm manures
as well as for the proper conserva-
tion of their value. I feel competent
to say that they may be considered
one of the most important imple-
ments on the farm. either large or
small. believe they will come near
er paying dividend on the invest
ment than any other farm tool. The
expense of handling the manure Is
lessened by three-fourths at least. and
as manure hauling time" generally
comes when other heavy work is
pressing, the saving of time is con-
sidered as much of a gain as the saw
ing of labor.
While the manure spreader can add
nothing to the value of the manure 1t
does, by the process of minute disin-
tegration so consummately accom-
plished by this machine, put the ma
terial in mechanical condition which
renders its fertilizing content more
Immediately available. much more
evenly distributed and therefore val
liable.

KNOWING HOW TO MILK.

Know how to milk? OF courie we
do! And yet, If the old cow could
speak, she might quite often say, that,
in her humble opinion, you could
proftably take few lessons in that
gentle art.
1t is business for the COW to be
milked. Sne considers it SO, and you
ought to.
1t is not fair to sit down to a cow
and pull and haul her until she steps
around in the stall and acts as If she
were being shamefully hurt. Some
times a COW will stop eating and wait
until the ordeal is over before she
will resume operations in that line.
The cow that does that is not COM
Portable. Uncomfortable cows do not
do their best for their masters.
Other men have a way of milking
that so pleases the COW that she
clearly shows that she enjoys the
process. These are the men after
whom we should pattern.
Watching them, we see that they
never yell nor strike, nor otherwise
mistreat their cows. They sit DOWN
quietly, take hold of the cows teats
gently, no matter in now much hurry
they may be, and begin to draw the
milk, without pressing too hard for
they know that they are touching her
at her tender point. then they keep
steadily at it until the last drop Is
out.

BUCKWHFAT AS A CATCH CROP

We sometimes lose our seeding in
the oats or wheat, and rather than re-
seed we plow the ground as soon after
harvest as possible and SOW to buck
wheat. Buckwheat is an exhaustive
crop, but l occasionally use it to
further my grass seeding plans. I
have never failed in getting a good
catch of grass or clover, though buck
wheat fails occasionally in making
good crop. Weeds growing In the
wheat stubble after harvest is a sure
indication that the clover seed Is
gone. 1t only takes about 60 days for
buckwheat to grow and ripen. 1t wi
usually yield ten to 20 bushels per
acre, so 1t pays well for the labor in
volved and at the same time makes
fine shade and protection for young
grass and clover sown at same time
with buckwheat. | SOW about three
pecks per acre.

APPLE ORCHARDS AND pRourH

There can be no doubt but that
apple trees are more or less checked,
in many situations, by the want of
water during the dry times of July
and August. and more in some soils
and situations than others. Neither
can there be any doubt of responsive
activity to the effects of a warm and
wet autumn. The buds swell and
burst into shoots or flowers in
many cases. and in the southern lati-
tudes OF Illinois are sometimes very
conspicuously developed. With a cor
responding activity of the cambium
and subsequent hard freeze, 1t is lit
tie wonder that damage is done. The
evil consequence then. of the sum
mer's drouth, is what we should in
the first place strive to avoid. This
may be accomplished in several ways
known to us all, and I may only mem
tion such as the choice of site, deep
drainage to favor the penetration of
roots into soil likely to be moist in
summer, good surface cultivation dur
ing dry times. extensive mulching. Sc
lection of varieties possessing powers
of withstanding drouth.

THE HoNEY-BEE.

There is probably nothing produced
en- the farm to-day that is sold on the
market so widely misunderstood as
honey. Honey Is not gathered by the
bees, but is produced by the bees.
Scientifically speaking. the bees gath
er nectar from the flower, which is no
more honey than cream is butter. At
ter the bees take it up into their
pouch, it is converted by them into
thin honey. This, after being depos-
tied in the wax cells. is evaporated by
process of the bees wings to nearly
so per cent. and then becomes honey
in a strict sense of the word.
1t is one of the sweetest known ar
ticles naturally produced without the
agency of man, and. therefore, pure
honey commands good price. Like
every other article that is of high
value. in the past 1t has been largely
initiated. No poor article is ever
counterfeited. The very fact that i'm
itations of various kinds have been
on the market, would prove the value
of real honey. The pure food laws of
our various states have done Won
ders In wedding out from the market
a great deal of adulterated honey.
One of the worst adulterations that
we now have on the market is a piece
of wax comb which contained honey
and from which the honey has been
extracted, placed in a jar and COM
position of glucose and honey poured
in around it, and sold on the market
as honey. The public. seeing some of
the wax comb in the center of the
liquid, have been led to believe in
buying it that they were getting the
real article. This has led to the va.'i.
Gus newspaper reports and their ex-
aggerations. which might lead the
public to believe that comb-honey
was adulterated. All honey. when
gathered by the bees, is placed in lit
tie wax cells of a hexagonal form. and
after being filled up by the bees, the
comb is capped over by them in the
same fashion as the housewife seals
the preserves which she puts up in
the summertime.

But the government, through Schurz
said No"
So Crook arrested the old chief and
to Omaha. And with them came the
wagon bearing the dead child.
Standing Bear told Crook his indi-
vidual story. The great Indian fighter
knew the general history of the In
dians and was already indignant at
their treatment, but the treatment ac-
corded Standing Bear was too much
and even the stern warrior rebelled.
Campaign Mapped Out.
That night Crook came into Omaha
ald had an all-nights conference with
Tibbles, then an editorial writer on a
newspaper. A campaign of Indians
rights was mapped out, and both men
started out the next day to carry out
their parts.
Crook was to delay returning the In
dians to Indian Territory until a writ
OF habeas corpus could be asked for
from the United States court on the
ground that the constitution, in the
fourteenth amendment, guaranteed to
all persons born in the United States
equal protection of the law.
Tibbles looked out for the legal end
of the deal. He went to John l.. Web
s.er, then a struggling. unknown young
lawyer, laid his case before him, and
asked him to defend the rights of the
Indian.
There is no money in 1t. but there
Is fame. honor and glory" said Tib-
bies.
Webster took the case. and asked
Judge A. J. Poppleton, then general
counsel for the Union Pacific, TO assist
him and make the argument. Popple-
ton agreed, and then a writ was ap-
piled for in the United States court at
Omaha. over which Judge Dundy pre-
sided.
Made Thousands of Citizens.
The case came to trial. 1t was the
most notable trial ever brought in the
west, and, in fact, the scope was as
wide as any ever tried in the United
States, for by Its decision 100000 peo-
pie were made citizens.
Thomas II. Tibbles attended every
session of that court. In his own
words he describes it this way:

"All at once that audience by one

one heard Judge Dundy say Court is
adjourned There was rush for
Standing Bear. The first to reach him
was Gen. Crook. l was second. The
lsdies fiocked toward him, and for an
hour Standing Bear held a reception.
"A few days afterward Judge Dunoy
handed nown his famous decision in
which he announced that an Indian

protection of the law. Standing Bear
and his followers were set tree, and
with his old wagon and the body OF his
dead child he went back to the hunt
ing grounds of his fathers and buried
the boy with tribal honors. 1t was the
very first time an Indian was ever per-
mitted to appear in court and have his
rights tried"
