A Witty Red Man.

In "Travels in New England and
New York." President Dwight, of
Yale College, tells a good story of
Indian wit and friendship.
In the early days of Litchfield,
Conn, an Indian called at the tavern
and asked the landlady for food.
frankly stating that he had no money
with which to pay for it. She refused
him harshly, but a white man who
sat by noted the red mans half-fam-
ished state, ard offered to pay for
his supper.
The meal was furnished, and the
Indian, his hunger satisfied, returned
to the fire ard told his bcnefactor a
story.
"You know Biblc?" said the red'
skin.
The maj assented.
"Well.' said the Indian, t'the Bible
say, God made world, and then He
took him and look at him and say,
He good, very good. He made light,
and He took him and look at him
and say, He good, very good Then
He made dry land and water and sun
and moon and grass and Trees and
took him and look at him and say,
He good, very good Then He made
beast and birds and fishes, and took
him and look at him and say, He
good, very good
Then He made man, and took him
and look at him and say, He good,
very, very good Then He made
woman, and took him and look at
him, and He no dare say Il such
world"
This last conclusion was uttered
with a meaning. glance at the land
lady.
Some years after this occurrence,
the man who had paid for the In
dams supper was captured by red
skins and carried to Canada, where
he was made to work like q slave.
Ona day an Indian came to him, re-
called to his mind the occurrence at
the, Litchtield tavern, and ended by
saying:
81 that Indian. Now my turn pay.
I see you home. Come with me-"
And the redskin guided the man
back to Litchfeld.

. SIZE KAHICURES And BEiUTI.
; FIES TOWNS.


In the past few years the passion
for the 4town beautiful" has become
a national ideal. City councils have
taken up the work, philanthropists
have contributed fortunes, and civic
associations have put their shoulders
to the wheel. That everyone knows;
but what scarcely anyone knows is
that the movement began in the brain
of a quiet, unassuming woman in
Springfield, Ohio, says Hampron's
Magazine.
Miss Jessie M. Good was an as
sistant in the Springfield library, and
had been for sixteen years. One day,
in an interval of her work, she hap
pened to pick up a magazine and read
therein CT how the village Of Stock
bridge, Mass, in order to attract sum-
mer tourists, had formed a local i'm
provement society to clean the town.
That was her Inspiration, as narrated
with awealtn of interesting detail in
Hampton's. Clean the town! Why
should net all towns be clean? Why
were dusty streets, Uttered sidewalks,
disfguring vacant lots, treeless high
ways and unsightly back yards neces-
sary3. Why should not every town
have parks and public gardens?
Miss Good told her plan to the ed
itor of a Horticulture magazine pub
lished in Springfield, and wrote an
article about it for him. The idea
spread, letters came in shoals, and
| Miss Good and Mr.. D. j. Thomas, the
editor, calling a convention of those
interested, formed the American
League of Civic improvement. That
was in July, 1901. A year later, at
a meeting in Buffalo, n. Y, the
American Park and Outdoor Art AS
ISOLATION merged with the league I'M
der the title of the American Civic
Association, which now embraces
| every State in the Union.
Miss Good, VINO was born in Johns
town, Pa, is still a resident of Spring
field, where she has built up a large
business in the sale OF plants, seeds
and flowers.

fall" is becoming a commercial on
viction in the West. An honest and
attractive package is the best agent
in any trade. It was this truth that
inspired the fruit growers of Wenat-
chee, Missoula, the towns Of the Va
kima Valley, Hood River and others
to organize their fruit growers into
unions. The apples no longer went
forth under the meaningless names
of Ben Brown or John Jones, but
with the guarantee Of a great and
wealthy valley. No grower wac al
lowed to pack his W apples. The
associations did it, and did it with
conscientious care. Find a bad ap-
pie and we'll give you the car" was
their confident assertion. Eastern
traders discovered that there was a
valley standard. It was no longer
necessary to send buyers West. They
could order the standard products by
wire. Ben Brown and John Jones
discovered that the surest way to sell
their fruits at the highest prices was
to standardize and get the valley
stamp on their boz. But the union
idea did not stop here. The associa-
lions set cut to educate their mem
bers along the line Of their occupa-
ton. The unions make liberal use of
the telegraph wires, and so make 4
more intelligent distribution of wares
than an Individual could do. They
set out to discover newmarkets. They
married the orchaTdist to the hortl-
cultural schools of the State asricul-
tural colleges and made Of a trade a
scientific profession. They taught
caution and conservation. They
showed that, though apple trees may
live $50 years, and though their val
ley lands were richer than the Asiatic
province of Shansi that mas been
farmed for forty centuries, the orig
inal orchards of the Luellings had
gone into decay through carelessness
and neglect even in the virgin rich
ness Of the bank of the Willamette.
But the fruit growers unions are do
ing most as a school of applied ethics.
They erase %jealousies and suspicion
and establish a trust and appreciation
of neighbors and a spirit of fr%aternal-
ism and patriotism.

Spraying to Kill Weeds.

Directions for making a spraying
solution that will kill weeds are
given as follows: Empty a hundred
pound sack of sulphate of iron into
a ffty-gallon barrel; fill to the chine
with water, and stir with a hoe for
a few minutes until dissolved.
Strain through several thicknesses OF
cheesecloth tackled over manhole of
the spraying machine, producing a
real mist free from drops. Use about
fifty gallons to the acre, and spray Oh
a bright warm day or or a dark damp
day; it does not matter so long as
rain does not come within eighteen OF
twenty hours. This spray will MOI
harm grain crops, and will kill wild
mustard and various other Weeds

Silagc For Beef Cattle.

The only reason the silo has not
been used so largely upon the beef
cattle and general stock farm is be-
cause beef men have not given it
the trial that dairymen have. Those
who have used silage in the produc-
ton of beef are universally in favor
of it. 1t proves a profitable addition
to a beef-feeding ration. Expert
ment station tests have presented re-
suits which stand out prominently
in favor Of silage for beef feeding.
The latest evidence from this
source comes from the Indiana sta
ton, where a series Of practical
beef feeding experiments are being
ronducted.-Weekly Witness.

Supplying the Soil With Plant Food.

Supplying the Soil With Plant Food.
In tertilizing any crop the needs OF
the soil upon which the crop is to be
grown are usually the leading consid-
GRAFTON. A soil which had recently
been we'll MANFRED, Or had a clover
sod plowed under, would likely be
pretty well provided with nitrogen,
and accordingly the mineral constit-
uents would be the principal concern.
A heavy clay soil would not need the
potash that a sanGy or muck soil
would require. The need for phos-
phoric acid is more general. After
the soil, the needs of the crop may be
considered. For instance, q 200
Observation-Disclosures crop of potatoes
will carry from the soil thirty-three
pounds Of nitrogen. twenty pounds OF
phosphoric acid and sixty-two pounds
of potash; a thirty bushel crop OF
wheat, sixty-two pounds Of nitrogen,
twenty pound- phosphoric acid and
twenty-six pounds of potash. For
use upon the same sort Of soil, then,
the potato crop would call for a fer
tilizer richer in potash than would
wheat, if the store Of plant food in
the soil is to be maintained. 1t
might be possible to omit the nitro
gen for the potatoes. since the latter
are usually closer to the clover sod or
manure or both in the rotation than

TELLsHOWTO
MEASURE OCEAN WAVES.
Pu:=lino Question 20 All Sea-
Goc.s Easily Solved by the Navy
Hndranranhic Office.

A puzzling question to ell sea-
goers, that of the heightened height
of ocean waves and how to measure
hem, is answered by the Navy Hy-
geographic Office.
Determination of the length Of
waves at sea may be obtained by di-
rect comparison of the known length
of the observing vessel with the
length from crest to crest of the
waves owe which she is riding, and
when ships are sailing in company a
good estimate of the length of the
wave may be made by comparing the
known length of a neighboring ship
with the distance from crest to crest
Of the successive waves.
Another method of measuring the
length of waves consists in towing a
log line astern of a vessel and noting
the length of line wien a buoy at
tached to the after end floats on the
next wave crest abaft that on which
the stern Of the vessel momentarily
floats.
Replying to an answer regarding
The height of ocean waves the Hydro
graphic Office says its measurements
and estimates from mariners and OBJ
servers at sea indicate that the aver
age height of all the wave running
in a gale in the ocean is about twenty
feet
About forty feet" it says, ais a
common estimate of the height of the
larger waves in a severe gale OF the
North Atlantic, and this estimate is
really not incompatible with accorded
average OF little more than twenty
feet"
