The Unique Farmers Institute.

force of the Colorado Agricul-
tural College was planning tour
in the southwestern part of the
state, they were asked to hold a
one day institute for these Indian
farmers.
The institute was held on July
10Th. Hon. + II. Grubb and
Prof. H. M. Cottrell being the
speakers from the Colorado Agri-
cultural College
The institute was held in a
beautiful grove on the banks of
the Los Pinos river. The Indians
decorated the speakers stand
with American flags, and on the
table was vase filled with Col
umbines-the state flower.
The authorities at Washington
telegraphed an order for a special
issue of rations for a picnic din
ner for the institute, and the In
dians were given the beef from a
1900 pound steer. 500 pounds of
hard tack. 1000 pounds of flour
and all the coffee they could use.
The squaws spent the morning
preparing the feast, while the
men attended the institute.
Surrounding the agency is one
of the best farming sections of
the state, and the white farmers
and their families from this sec
tion were invited TO attend and
over 100 we're present at the open
ing session.
When the morning session was
called. Chiefs Buckskin Charlie

Prof. Cottrell occupied seats on
the platform. The Indian far
mers took the front seats in the
audience. They were dressed in
picturesque costumes of red and
blue. and many wore ornamental
feathers in their hair. The white
farmers, with their wives and chill
dren, occupied the rear seats, the
ladies and girls dressed in white.
On the grass around the seats
reclined the squaws with their
many children. The women were
dressed IN red and blue and had
bright oolored blankets. embroi-
dered and beaded legglngs and

travelling Auto Repair Shop.

A new vocation has sprung up on
some of the large country roads lead
ing out of town. 1t is that of the
itinerant repairer of automobiles. Its
first exponent was seen on the Old
York road, near Jenkintown, where,
with his whole equipment in bag, he
walked along the highway bearing a
sign autos Repaired" The man is
a clever Inachinist, who has made a
special study of automobiles, and
whose services are at the command
of any motorist who needs them-as
many automobile owners who drive
their own machines are likely 20 do.
In the case of a breakdown he is apt
soon to be along, for things have pros
pered with him and he now travels
and carries his tools in a striped run
about, which shows evidences that it
is out for business. In effect he is
a travelling automobile repair shop,
and as such occupies about the sare
relation to the average automobile as
the repair ships of the navy do to
the ships of the line.-Philadelphia

When Credit Becomes a Loan.

Every merchant who sells on cred
it is a partner with the buyer to the
extent of his sale during the period
elapsing until payment is made, and
as such has a right to know the
financial condition of his debtor. This
sense of partnership is rarely recog-
nized by either party to the sale.
Every man should regard time sale
as a money loan. He would not care
to ask his jofber for the loan on an
account of money equal to the value
of the goods he buys on time. But
he does the equivalent of that when
he asks the jobber to extend his
credit beyond the time for payments
set by the terms agreed upon. II
the buyer were to go to his bank
and borrow the money necessary to
pay for the goods on the same time,
he would not only have to pay the
legal rate of interest, but a premium
besides, and if he did not meet the
obligation on its maturity would have
to satisfy the bank that the account

course. pay the interest for the ex-
tended time. Does the salesman re-
alize when he is closing a sale with
a customer that he is virtually lend
ing that customer sum OF money
equal to the value of the goods for
the period that shall elapse before
payment is made? And does the buy
er realize that in asking for credit.
be it only for ten days, he is asking
the seller the favor of cash loan?
A realization of this actual relation
ship between buyer and seller would
lead to greater self-respect and firm
ness on the part of the seller, and
what is more important, fewer losses; ;
while there is many buyer whose
attitude toward the seller would be
vastly improved by a recognition of
this homely truth, and who would
steer his course clear of many dan
gerous financial rock thereby.-Credit

WILD FOWL IN LAKE OF CRATER.
Hunters Find Plenty of Duck Shoot.
ina in Hawaiian Volcano.

A climb up the thinly greened sides
of grim old Diamond Head is well
worth while these days, for, besides
the magnificent view obtainabie from
the cratsl's rim, says me Honolulu
Commercial Advertiser, there is a
lake of quite respectable dimensions
inside
Last summer there was no lake in
the crater. The soil was little dam
per in the lowest part and the grass
grew lushly, that was all.
The recent rains have formed the
lake. which is about three-quarters OF
mile in circumference. The depth
a short way from the edges is aDov,
two and a half feet.
Here and there in the lake the top
branches of mimosa bush are seen.
Near the water line a thicket of glue
bushes and algarobas extends clear
around, through which. on account of
the thorns, way is with difficulty
made
In the early morning wild duck
may be found in the lake and several
have been shot of late The birds
come in about shutdown and leave for
their feeding grounds soon after
dawn. Shooting duck in crater Is
a form of sport which should appeal
TO even veteran sportsman.
There are several coot in the lake
at present, glossy blue black fellows,
with grey, Hanged feet, white
fleshy plate on the top of the
head and white BILL Very wary
are these birds, keeping we'll out into
the middle of the water. A shot will
drive them to the shelter of the
bushes, however, and there. if craft
lily stalked, a shot may occasionally
be obtained at them.
The flesh of these crater coots IS
sweet and succulent The crops OF
two, which were opened last week.
were filled with some kind of green
weed. One of the birds was in an
early stage of egg production.
Wading along the edge of the lake
is treacherous work, for mud holes
abound and a person is up to his neck
in mud of a particularly holding de-
scription before he realizes what has
happened.
A herd of cows at present finds
rich grazing in the crater.
The hut of the lone settler who
last year made his abode in Diamond
Head has long been deserted and Is
fast going to rack and ruin, and the
weeds have sprung up and hidden
almost every evidence of his precari-
Gus husbandry.

In commenting on the National Corn
Exposition recently held at Chicago,
Orange Judd Farmer says:
There were about 5000 exhibits OF
corn on display. Taking the entire ex-
hibit into consideration, the corn on
the tables was probably the best ever
shown at any exhibition. This Is most
remarkable, considering the unfavor-
able conditions which prevailed through
the growing season. 1t would not be
possible to have anything like corn Of
tine high quality shown were It not for
the great advancement in breeding
and cultivation OF late, Pure bred va
rieties mature earlier and resist unfa-
vorable weather conditions to great
err extent than the inferior corn grown
few years ago In the class open to
the world the showing was wonderful
Probably a third Of the entire exhibit
was in this lot
The Illinois exhibit, as would natu-
rally be expected, was very complete In
white and yellow classes. Undoubt-
eddy, however, the yellow varieties pre-
dominated, the majority Of them being
Of the Reid type, This Is 2 renarka-
Bile uniform variety and Of high scor-
ing quality. The white samples were
Just about as numerous, and many of
them were of very excellent character,
but as show corn they did not COM
pare quite as well as yellow corn.
Outside Of the white and yellow va
rieties shown by Iowa exhibitors there
was an exceedingly fine showing Of
calico and red corn. In the cattle feed
ing States these varieties seem to DO
exceedingly popular.

Angora Goats.

All goats are fairly good at clean
ing fields of brush but the Angora Is
especially adopted to this work. They
seem TO prefer the leaves and small
twigs of bushes to grass, and strip
them clean so that they die.
A writer in farm paper tells about
the clearing of a field that had become
overran with hazel and other brush
and which was entirely cleared Of the
brush in one season. This was done
last year and this year not single
living bush can be seen, but the dead
ones are In evidence all over the field.
Now, naturally, the grass has a chance
and can make reasonable growth.
No doubt, 1t would pay on the average
farm OF several hundred acres to keep
herd of goats to keep the fields clean
On many old farms the fields so soon
become foul that 1t becomes labori-
Gus as we'll as expensive undertaking
to clear them. Whereas the goats can
do it and make money for the owner
at the same time.

The Night Of Nights.

This is the night of nights 0 Babe
Who from high heaven to earth came
down!
| pray Thee, rid me of these ghosts
That cling about my sable gown
Ghosts Of lost childhood's Christmas joys
And youthful hopes-gone long ago.
Ghosts of the loved one, tender, true
Who kissed me meath the mistletoe,
Ghosts of that happiest Christmas-tide
When two bent DER stocking small,
These haunt my bitter solitude
o Babe, my heart breaks midst them
all
This is the night of nights Her cry
Ascepds to heaven and meets his ear,
His brilliant star shines forth, it's beams
Search her sad soul, her sighr grows
clear
For in the beams of this, His star,
The pale ghosts change to angels fair
And whispers one For loves dear sake
Go. gifts of love to others bear
About thy path seek children poor,
Neglected youth, and folk forlorn-
Loves gifts to these shall bring thee Joy

One of the hoary old frauds that
comes up from age to age is the pro-
duction of the so-called seedless apple.
Some nurserymen have doomed the
seedless apple as though it was a new
thing, one of the latest scientific dis
coverles. As a matter of fact, 1t is
one of the hoarlest old frauds that was
ever foisted upon gullible and confid-
Ing public, says Wallace's Farmer.
The seedless apple was described by
a French pomologist in 1925 1t was
illustrated In several of the old hor-
ticultural documents of that century.
These old writer's refer to still earlier
ones, like Pllny, who described the
seedless, bloomless apple about the
time of the Christian era. 1t was de-
scribed in 1868 as having been found
in West Virgins, in 1870 as coming
from Connecticut, with the statement
that the original tree had been bearing
for fifty years.
The modern phase OF the seedless
apple craze occurred in 1890, after
which it apparently went to sleep until
quite recently. 1t will thus be seen
that there Is a seedless apple, but that
it is no new thing. Professor Hansen,
Of the South Dakota Experiment Sta
ton, describes it ''as poor as any Ben
Davis; keeps well, but when kept no
one will eat It," Other authorities
give practically the same description.

This same coveted decoration was
worn by many of the witnesses and
spectators. Empty sleeves and crutch-
es, especially among the men who had
been at Port Arthur, showed that many
of them had seen hard service during
the war.
