Was Red Cloud a Free Mason?


w. E. Jackson, forest supervisor in
Wyoming, high Mason, says:
Il had heard that Red Cloud be-
longed to some kind of secret order
among the Indians, which in many
ways resembled Masonry 1 had the
opportunity and determined to put him
to the test. l went into his tepee and
found the chief, but he treated me with
scant courtesy. He replied to my ques-
tions only with grunts. then gave him
a Masonic sign, and the old fellow
looked interested I gave more, and be
unbent. The words OF Masonry he could
not understand, but he seemed perfect
ly familiar with all the signs.
Il knew that he could not have re-
ceived knowledge from any white mans
lodge, and 1 tried to find out where
his knowledge of the secret work came
from. All he would say, however, was
that he received the signs under great
ledge of rock.
After we had conversed by signs for
While, Red Cloud ordered buffalo

stayed and tackled the roast dog"
And there is another story of Red
Cloud which shows an entirely differ
ent phase of the old Indians charac-
ter. He was very fond OF his grand
children, and especially so of little
Bright Eyes Jordan, 5-year-old In
dian boy. who called him grandpa"
Some years ago, realizing that he was
losing his eyesight and soon would be
entirely blind, Red Cloud made a trip
of three hundred miles by wagon just
to see this child once more before he
became blind. At that time the Indian
was more than so years old. The jour-
ney was made in a two-horse wagon.

| At the time of the Trans Mississippi
exposition company was formed for
the purpose Of obtaining Red Cloud as

to the Indian country and offered Red
Cloud $1,000 and all his expenses for a
three months contract Thru his in

WILL VOTE MECHANICALLY.
Waterloo Grown Too Big For ordi
nary Method of Votino.

Waterloo, Dec. 30.-Because of the
remarkable growth of Waterloo the
present voting machines in use in the
city have been taxed beyond the limit
guaranteed by the manufacturers. and
as the result the board of supervisors
has purchased four additional ma
chimes for use in the city. These ma
chimes were shipped by the makers,
the United States Standard Voting
Machine Company from its factory at
Jamestown, n. Y. last Friday and are
expected to reach Waterloo in day
or two.
The new machines cost $3.50 apiece
and are of forty candidate capacity.
In addition to the new machines four
teen outside primary devices were
purchased and have been shipped.
These devices are for use in primary
elections only and enough Of them
have been secured so that all the old
machines may be supplied.

report, which is merely formal in char

The state of Iowa Is frequently sub
jected TO injustice by reason of the
courts An instance of this has just
caused protest from the board of
control. "A colored girl brought to Des
Moines from st. Louis about year
ago by a Salvation army woman came
under the purview of some society and
it was shown the child was virtually
slave so the local court ordered the
child sent to the orphans home. But
it is also found that the girl has been
so neglected that her influence at the
home. to say the least, would be evil
and harmful. Therefore it is desired
that the order be changed. AS matter
of fact Iowa should not be asked to pay
for the education of such child The
practice of some courts of committing
children to the orphans home when
they really should be cared for in some
other way is a drain upon the state.
Heads of corporations in the south
ern Iowa district have been delighted
to receive the blanks on which Harry
Weaver expects to secure information
as to the net profits of all southern
Iowa corporations as basis for the
new corporation tax provided by the
administration. The blanks are simple,
but are accompanied by copy of the
law so that the bookkeeper can study
law for some time before making the

grea test worry is the fact that the
reports must cover exactly the calendar

of each corporation, and it will re-
quire a complete balancing of the

district break even. Byers has not
made any statement as yet, but the
pressure from the district upon him
is very urgent and it is regarded as
certain that he will get into the game.
: The fact that the movement proceeds
! from the republicans of the district
and that they are saying that unless
| Byers runs they will bring out some
/ other man indicates that it is a move
ment of considerable force. There is
pressure on the other side, however,
for the temperance forces of the state
are urging that Byers remain in his
present office to complete the work of
firmly establishing law enforcement in
Iowa.

I'm the Feed Lot.

Wheat bran is preferable, however,
because it is less bulky.
Cow pea and alfalfa is an excellent
substitute for wheat bran for the dairy
cows.
Corn makes fat, while alfalfa is rich
in f1esh-forming and BODYBUILDING ma
terials
In feeding pigs shorts or alfalfa
beats wheat bran when used as one
quarter of the ration.
Hogs will not as rule relish alfalfa
hay in the winter unless they have
previously been matured on the young
alfalfa.
1t is a mistake to believe that alfalfa
is purely fattening ration, especially
for calves. On the contrary, it is a
growing ration.
In feeding beet pulp the best results
have been obtained by using two
pounds of pulp to one pound of grain
in the ration for hogs.
Very slowly our farmers are coming
to recognize the value Of roots in feed
ing all kinds Of farm animals. We
ought to grow more of them.

Some cows are not adapted to machine
milking. Alternate hand and machine
methods of milking have a detrimental
effect upon the flow. Manipulation OF
the udder is absolutely necessary in
some instances before all the milk can
be drawn by the machine. One man
operating one machine can milk about
the same number of cows in an hour
as one milking by hand. Two men
operating four machines can practi-
cally do the work Of three men milk
ing by hand. Two operators with four
machines MIXED twenty-four cows In
an hour. 1t is necessary to thoroughly
wash and boil the milking machine
parts after each usage in order to pro-
duce milk with as low bacterial con-
tent as that resulting from careful
methods of hand milking.-Denyer

Restriction of Fertility.

Prof. Spillman says it seldom pays
to turn under crop Of COW peas in
the green state. 1t is better practice
to make hay Of them, feed the hay
and put the manure back on the land.
AS is the case with all legumes, the
roots Of the COW pea crop add a great
deal of nitgrogen to the soil, and have
a marked effect on fertility. If heavy
green crop Of cow peas is plowed I'M
der in the autumn it is best not to
plant the land until the following
spring. A very good plan for bringing
up the fertility of a wornout field is to
SOW rye in the fail, pillow this under
in the spring, harrow thoroughly, let
the land lie month, and then SOW
COW peas. Cut the peas for hay and
SOW rye again. A few seasons Of such
treatment will restore fertility to the
soil. Fortunately, both Of these crops
will grow on very poor land.

Eee. Preserved With Wax.


BY novel process of preserving,
eggs six months old are made to retain
their NEW laid" freshness. The pro-
cess has been developed by firm OF
English importers, acting on the theory
that an egg decomposes owing to the
entrance of bacteria through the shell.
The eggs are thoroughly cleansed and
disinfected and then immersed IN
vessel of hot paraffin wax in vacuum.
The air in the shell is extracted by the
vacuum and atmospheric pressure is
then allowed to enter the vessel, when
the hot wax is forced into the pores
of the shell, which thus hermetincally
seals it. Evaporation of the contents
of the eggs, which has harmful eff
feet, is thereby prevented and the egg
is practically sterile.
