Arapahoe, Okla.-John II. Seger, for
more than 30 years a government EN-
ploye among the Cheyenne Indians In
Oklahoma, relates this story of how
massacre of the inhabitants OF
Darlington Indian agency, many years
ago. was ayerted:
big Horse, the father of Hubbe'
Big Horse, the Indian interpreter. was
chief among warlike band OF In
dians on the Washita river. He and
his band plotted TO go to Darlington
and massacre all the whites at that
agency. Grants peace policy had just
been well inaugurated, and the for
lowing will show that kindness can
melt even the heart of Cheyenne
warrior.
when this war party arrived near
Darlington they camped for the might

Fortunately for Grants Quakers. u
cloudburst few days before up In
Beaver county raised the river SO that
night the banks were full. Their OBJ
ject In killing these white employees
was to get the provisions and cattle
and horses The Indians reasoned
that they would lose much OF the
sugar and -four in crossing the river
while the banks were full, so they
decided TO wait day longer.
Big Horse said he would go over
and reconnoiter the agency and find
the exact location of all the white
families. He met the agent, 70
year old Quaker, who was very kind
hearted man. He took Big Horse ia
dinner with him. Then he went ia
see another Quaker family, and the
little ladylike mother gave him her
baby to hold. That night when he

INTELLIGENT FARMING.
Different Treatment 10 Needed for Diff
ferent Soils.

One of the first things the farmer
must learn is that soils differ greatly
as to the kinds and quantities Of the
plant foods they contain. This seems
to be one Of the hardest things to
impress upon the farmer. Over and
over again the mistake is made OF
buying fertilizer because 1t has
given good results when applied to
certain farms. In fact many of the
fertilizer sellers put out literature that
has for It's base the testimonials OF
growers showing how many potatoes
were grown, or how much OF other
things were grown, as result of the
use of the fertilizer.
Soils differ so radically that 1t is
impossible to make fertilizer mixture
that will be suited to the production
of a certain crop in all places. The
suppostion that such is possible is a
delusion and a snare.
Every farmer should try to read the
reports of the Investigations of soils,
that he may be able to form true
conception of the needs of his soil.
To show how enormously soils differ
we have but to journey to different
parts of the state of Illinois or to any
state where soil survey has been
made and experiments undertaken. Go
down into the Kankakee marshes that
have been drained and brought into
cultivation. They have soil so rich in
nitrogen that 1t is loss of time to
put on nitrogenous fertilizers, and
$40 of blood per acre gave no results.
But little potassium made the soil
bring forth ten fold. Just the oppo.
site may be found in another county
where the land lacks nitrogen and has
enough potassium. There the applica.
tion of potassium had no effect while
little blood accomplished wonders.
Many soils have both potassium and
nitrogen. but lack phosphorus. This
has TO be supplied before they will
give returns of any consequence. As
long as men buy fertilizers because
they do well in some places. SO long
will they throw away large part OF
their money.
Soils differ in different counties, and
they differ sometimes on the same
farm. says Farmers Review Ere
quently one part OF farm is OF one
geological formation and another part
Of another geological formation. One
may have been created a million years
before the other was created. One
may be product OF the grindings of the
glaciers. while another may be the re
suit OF the slow action OF water de
posting its silt little by little. One
part of mans farm may be rich in
nitrogen. while another is starving
for 1t. A man must know his land and
what is in IT,

In order to reduce the loss in ma

and practice should be to haul II di-

spread 1t at once. On the average farm
the following of this practice all

The use OF rotted manure rather
than fresh manure is desirable in con
nection with many market garden or
vegetable crops, as II gives quicker
results and with root crops will give
a smoother and nicer product.
Manure should be spread as soon MS
1t is hauled to the field The practice
of putting It In piles is Objectionable
because of the loss that is likely to oc.
cur. The placing In piles also involves
additional labor.
The manner OF spreading will de.
pend upon local conditions, but where
the distance to haul is relatively short
and II Is desired TO have II evenly
spread the manure spreaders will be
found serviceable machines.
From ten to twenty tons of manure
per acre is usually considered n fair
application; but considerably more is
frequently applied for market garden
crops. Experiments have shown that
