PRONOUNCING INDIAN NAMES.
Easy According to This Rule-Meaning
of Words

Did you ever try to pronounce an In
dian name and then wonder whether YOU
had come anywhere near the correct pro-
nunciationE Try this rule. Place Il dash
after each vowel in the word and then
pronounce each syllable slowly. Note the
smooth flowing sound produced and then
gradually pronounce the syllableS faster
until you get the entire word grouped
You will be surprised both at the ease
with which you get the word and the Ell
feet in pronunciation. The most dli-
tcult Indian name is readily pronounced
III this manner
Nearly all Indian names of towns and
r yc-s have some particular significance.
The names Of towns in Indian territory
will perpetuate Indian history for centu-
ricS, Only yesterday a new town was
named \eha. This is Il Creek word. and
means oil town. 1t was given to Il Sidin-
put in on the railroad n few miles south
of MuSkogce in the new oil field
We in Creek means water 1t is
found in many names in the territory
and the significance attaches to the re.
mandcr of the word For instance, here
ter, the WCtumka means bounding wa
ter, and Wetumhka means bounding wa
ter. Both are towns on the Frisco rail
road. Wcalaka, the home of the Creek
chief, means falling water Wecharta
means red water.
Okmulgec. which is the Creek national
capital, means in Creek head of power,
and the name was given the town of Ok
mulgee because it was the national CAPT
tai. Tallahassee conveys to the Creek
mind the same impression that deserted
village does to the English. 1t was the
;ame of town in the eastern home of
the Creeks and also n town of that
name. or what was a town, is located in
Indian territory. There is an Indian
school there.
To the Creeks tn Ark nsas river was
Wecharta. because the water is red, and
Deep Fork was Hutchety Soofkey be-
cause it is deep. The Nerdigris was Was
ere IIutchety because the Osages came
down that river and the Creeks called it
Dosage Stream" The North Canadian
was called Oklahutcney because it was
full Of sand. The village of Choska was
so called because Choska means post
oak and around CroSka post oaks grow
in great profusion.-Kansas CIty Star

Boards VS.. Earth as Flooring.

At the West Virginia Experiment
station few years ago a test was
made of board floors versus earth floors
for laying hens. The test commenced
Nov. II, ana continued during the win
ter Tor a full period Of five months. 1t
was rather expected that the board
floor would prove superior to earth
floor, but such was not the case. There
were thirty-six hens Of three breeds
on each kind OF floor, ana the hens on
the earth floor laid nearly 30 per cent
more eggs than those on the board
floor. 1t was found that the earth floor
was warmer during cold weather, and
this alone might cause the difference in
results. The only sickness of any kind
during the test was case Of roup in
each lot

heavy blue bloom so familiar in the
Damson class. The flesh is yellow with
a purplish tinge and Is sweet and juicy

CHEYENNE'S PILGRIMAGE.
Impelled by Religious Belief to Revisit
Old Home in Wyoming.

after the Custer massacre on the Lit
tie Big Horn" said John II. Scgcr, wh1
has lived among the Cheyenne Indians in
Oklahoma for more than thirty years, to
an Arapaho correspondent of the Kansas
City Times, "a part of the Cheyennes
who expected to be punished severely by
the government came down here and
joined this southern band of Cheyenncs
on the Washta river, near Arapaho.
The climate was new to them and the
fever and chills took away many of
chem. They lunced for their old assoc
Ciates and haunts and determined to re
turn.
These 900 Chcyennes, led by Dun
Knife, Wild Hog and Little Chief, scat
tered out in three bands and made the
raid. The settlers opposed their march
and the whole available military was
brought into the field against them. Had
the Indians been allowed to pass peace
ably there would probably have been no
trouble. but every man along their path
took shot at them and the Indians
returned the fire and several on both
sides were killed. But the Indians DX-
hibtcd remarkable ability in their march
across Kansas Nebraska ana two great
lines of railroad. Two of the bands got
through all right, but one was captured.
1T was religious craze that impelled
these Indians TO go, They believed the

"BLEST BE THE TIE"
How the Familiar Old Hymn Came to Be
Written

Not one in a thousand Of those who
sing that good old hymn "Blest be the
tie that binds" knows the history of its
homcly origin.
According to the Church Eclectic it
was written by Rev. John Fawcett, who
in the latter part of the Eighteenth cen
fury was the pastor of poor little
church in Lockshre, England. His fam
lily and responsibilities were large, his
salary was less than 81 a week.
In 1172 he felt himself obliged to ac-
cept a call to a London church. His
farewell sermon had been preached, six
wagons loaded with furniture and books
stood by the door. His congregation.
men, women and children, were in an
agony of tears.

a packing case and cried with the others

Ground Clover.

An article Of food is now being put
on the market which is largely used
by those who have tried it-ground
clover. Glover hay is ground as fine
as meal, and poultrymen add it 10 the
rations of poultry with beneficial re
suits. 1t is also excellent for young
calves and pigs, The ground clover is
first scalded with boiling water and
thickened with corn meal or any other
ground food that may be preferred.

A. o. Gross and II. \. Ray walked
across Illinois last fall from the Indi-

ing a bird census as they went. In a
strip Of country 100 feet wide and 1872
miles long they found 1880 birds of 90
different kinds. "rwo-thirds of the
birds counted were English sparrows,
and about one-siXth of the remainder

stomach Worms In sheep.

The symptoms of infestation by stoln-
ach worms in sheep are briefly noted
in government bulletin. In prevent
ing the infestation of lambs with stom-
ach worms two general plans are usual
ly applicable. The ewes may be kept
in bare lot from which the lambs may
escape to non-infested pasture for graz
ing. The danger of infestation Is thus
reduced to a minimum. Again, wher-
ever practicable, the danger of infesta-
ton from stomach worms is largely
eliminated If the lambs come in the fall
rather than in the spring.
Brief notes are given on the direct
remedies for stomach worms, including
coal-tar, creosote, bluestone and gaSo-

Wherever alfalfa can be raised, the

growth to the muscle, making the lean
meat that Is the best and sells the best.
And while growing in the alfalfa fields
the hogs get the exercise needed for
healthy development. The alfalfa can
be raised in very many portions of Tex
as and wherever it will grow it may be
made highly profitable crop and one
that will get out OF the swine industry

COLLEGE COWBOYS AT SEA.

Collaborating to England is rapidly be-

From early spring of the present year
shipping agents along the Atlantic sea-

from the colleges for positions as cattle
men.
Every craft which in June put out of
Montreal, Boston, New York or Philadel-
phia with a shifty cargo of steers for
the British market carried a delegation of
highly educated youths to attend TO the
wants of the longhornS. Reservations in
the forecaStle became almost as common
as in the first cabin area.
