The Federal Grand Jury is under
taking an investigation of the writings
of the Japanese Nippu Jill and of the
actions of other agitators in connec-

said that some indictments for con-

language being printed by the agita-

course of murder and violence.

Tremendous Cost of Prairie Dogs.
In the state of Texas alone prairie
dogs eat annually enough grass to sup
port 1,562,500 cows Utterly useless, the
little animal is pest SO dreaded that
the forestry service has undertaken his
determination. Poison Is killing him,
wherever he now fiourishes and another
resource of the farmer is safeguarded.
Who would think that the prairie dog,
the shy and amusing little rodent that
we like to watch before the door of
his burrow at the Zoo, would ever be-
come the subject Of the government in
tervention or endanger the success Of
stock raising? Yet such is the fact,
says the Technical World Magazine.
Out on the national forests which Uncle
Sam Is guarding for the use Of the pub
lie, expert hunters have gone after the
prairie dog with zeal, ingenuity and
poison and literally exterminated them
In great numbers, because some of their
choicest bottom lands have had the
grazing ruined for stock by the indus
trious burrowing of the dogs"

In an experiment to ascertain the
cost of raising a calf Prof. Shaw of
Michigan station took dairy calf and
kept an accurate account of the ex-
pense Of feeding for one year from its
birth. The amounts of feeds used in
that time>were 3S1 pounds of whole
milk, 2,56S pounds of skim milk. 1892
pounds of silage, 219 pounds of beet
pulp, 1854 pounds of hay, 1,247 pounds
of grain, 147 pounds of roots, IA pounds
Of alfalfa meal and 90 pounds of green
corn. The grain ration consisted of
three parts each of corn and oats and
one part of bran and oilmeal At the
end Of the year the calf weighed 800
pounds at a cost of $3.50 for feed. The
calf was a Holstein.

A Farmer,s Enterprise.

An Iowa farmer has succeeded In
opening up big field for his enter
prise by applying an old method to a
new service. He has gone into the
business of furnishing fresh eggs daily
to a regular list of customers, after
the fashion Of the milkmen and bakers.
This farmer is man who raises many
chickens and markets a large number
Of eggs. These he had been selling to
dealers, who in turn sent them to cold
storage warehouses or to wholesalers.
Finally they got to the consumers, usu-
ally. pretty stale and much the worse
for handling, through the retail grocer
or huckster When eggs were plenti-
full and the wholesalers were well
stocked up, the farmer got little for
them. When eggs were few and prices
to consumers were very, very high,
the farmer found that his eggs in the
warehouses were still in competition
with the producer. This mans egg
route isn't an egg route exclusively
He sells dressed chickens and other
farm produce, too, and when his egg
wagon is going about the driver takes
orders for other things which are raised
on the farm.-Spring6eld Journal.

Director Woods of the Maine agricul-
tural experiment station summarizes
his suggestions as to successful potato
growing as follows. What he says
about thorough preparation of the soil
is applicable to that to be used for any
crop
Select highly fertile land, SO situated
that it will suffer as little as possible
from either excessive rain or from
droughts.
Thoroughly prepare the soil and fer
itlize literally.
Keep the crop free from weeds and
the surface of the soil loose during the
whole season.
Do not let anything prevent the po-
tato field from receiving constant care.
Vastly more failures In potato grow
ing can be traced to neglect of crop
than to lack of knowledge.

How MANY Hens

Have you pondered the fact that it
requires very little more labor to keep
flock of 100 birds than flock of 20?
There is hint there as to getting
the proper return for your labor.
Also the expense of housing and yard
ing the larger flock Is but little more
than for the smaller.
These are the two important outgoes,
aside from feed.
1t follows that your profit will be
greatly increased by the enlarged flock
without corresponding increase of
expense.
BY all means, If it will pay you at
all to keep chickens, it will pay you
to keep not less than seventy-fve.

which occurred at the Fort Sill mill

he had been held a prisoner for many
years, removed one of the most cruel
and most subtle red-sklnned sayages
that the United States Government has
ever fought. Gen. Miles, to whom he
surrendered after his last great out

was not too severe. He reveled IN

survived Of the host of Indian lead
ers of the last two generations. Time
after time during this long period he
outgeneraled, outmarched and out
fought dozens Of regimental leaders of
the United States army, and was per-
sonally responsible for the deliberate
murder of thousands of helpless set
tiers and the horrible torture of hun
dreds OF captured enemies. For the
last nineteen years this old chief had
been prisoner Of war.
He had never forgiven the white
men, and up to the time of his death
he never spoke Of the whites as broth
ers' except at times when the willy old
redskin covered his hatred to pray for
some favor. He had made many at
tempts to get permission to go back to
Arizona, where he said he desired to
die.
Early in 1908 Geronimo made trip
to Washington with number of his
followers In an effort to interest Pres
ident Roosevelt in his case. The old
Indian was unsuccessful, however, and
to the last Geronimo was full of bit
ter hatred for the white man. At the
time of his death Geronimo was SO
years old. One daughter, Lola, who
lives In oklahoma, survives the old
warrior.
From the early Cos until Gen. Law
ton, then serving under Gen. Miles,
rounded him up in 1886, Geronimo was
n living terror to the settlers of Arl-
zona, New Mexico and Sonora, Mexico.
Time after time in those DAYS he
swept down upon lonely ranches with
band Of well-horsed, well-armed saw
ages, numbering and burning, then with
the cunning of Il snake wriggled back
into the mountains, where the little
companies Of cavalry found 1t impos-
sible to snare him.
Preferred Death to Capture.
The country first began to hear of
Geronimo 80 years ago, when he was
comparatively young man. In those
days Cochise was war chief of the
Chirlcahua Apaches, an old man of
bestial cruelty. Geronimo himself was
the son of Mangus Colorado, or Chal-
crow, who as war~chief Of the Warm
Spring, Chiricahuas made life bur-
den to the settlers Of Arizona and New
Mexico. Cochise died in 1878 after
career of rapine and plunder that
couldn't be matched except by the rec
ord Geronimo made later Natehez sue
ceeded CochiSe aud Geronimo very
shortly succeeded Natchcz..
AS to how many lives Geronimo end
ed within the next 10 years there is
no record. Ills fayUrite amusement
was to send In assurances OF peace to
the soldiers, retire for few months
10 the mountains, and then when the
settlers believed they We're In most
security to swoop down on them
scalping every man, woman and child
who hadn't had time to tlee aud there
was seldom much warning before Ger
onimo's raids. Endless stories have
been told of the almost uulmaglnahle
cruelty Geronimo displayed toward the
few prisoners he ever troubled himself

dead before they fell into the hands
Of Geronimo's Apaehes.
Geronimo never fought when he
could help 1t. A woman on ranch
or mail carrier on his pony carried
as good scalp as a soldier and was
much safer to slay. When the soldiers
caught up-as they sometimes did
the Indians fought back with every
device they knew. When the pursuit
was too hot their picked men dropped
In their blankets and waited until the
soldiers came upon them, and sought to
shoot the officers
A Typical Raid.
The story of one of Geronimo's raids
is practically the story of all, and
the biggest of them was in 1881, when
Geronimo led 500 warriors on the war
path down as far as Chihuahua. They
had many diversions along the road.
On Eagle river they found herder
with 5000 sheep. The herder they
threw over cliff, and as he lay there
broken-legged they buried him with
stones. They punched the eyes out of
the sheep until that grew tiresome.
In Gold Gulch a half dozen capital
lists were on their way to examine
prospect. A small detachment of the
Indians lay in the tall grass alongside
the trail and shot five of the six out
of their saddles. The sixth man got
away. He had retained his rife, and
they did not follow him.
They crossed the Gila river with
lot Of horses, killing freighters as they
found them, and swept across the mesa
near Shakespeare, where they encOun-
tered Judge McComa Of Silver City,
his wife and their G-year-old son. They
shot the judge feIed his wife with
stone, tortured her to death, and car
ried off the boy-to what fate nobody
ever has been able to make the
Apaches tell.
When Geronimo was at the height of
his power as an outlaw his face was
one Of demoniacal ferocity. His fury
knew no bounds His temper was 50
terrible that he frothed at the mouth
when enraged. If horse did not do
as he wished he killed it, and squaws
who dispIeased him were put to
death.
The last death trail In which he was
engaged was in 1885, and in that raid
he killed 76 white settlers. Gen. Miles
conducted the campaign against him
and aided by the late Gen. Lawton, he
succeeded In snaring the willy chief in
1885. Geronimo and his fighters were
run to earth at the junction of the San
Bernardino and Bayispe rivers, near
the Mexican border, and surrendered
They were sent to
Fort Pickens, Fla, and later to Mount
Vernon Barracks, in Alabama, and
then In 1894 were transferred to Fort
Sill. IT is said that the various cam
paigns waged by the United States
against this murderous redskin cost the
lives Of nearly 1000 soldiers and
$5,O00,000 in money.
At one time to curry favor with the
President that he might be permitted
to return to his native Arizona, Geron-
imo Joined the Dutch Reformed
church. But his habits were so bad
that he was dropped from the church,
and he died without acknowledging the
white mans God.
