Burke's Bold Stand

As chairman of the house committee
on Indian affairs, Congressman Burke,
of South Dakota, has decreed the
defeat of the Indian appropriation bill
for the next fiscal year, rather than
agree to some of ITS Objectionable
clauses, for which Chairman Clapp, Of
the senate Indian affairs committee,
and Senator McCumber, Of North
Dakota, stand sponsors.
The bill contains provisions for the
payment Of attorneys fees to ex-Sena-
tor Marion Butler, Of North Carolina,
for the collection of 100000 for the
CoIville Indians, and also for the settle
ment of traders accounts at Standing
Rock agency in North Dakota.
Mr.. Burke objected to these provis-
ions, endeavoring to prevail upon the
conference committee to cast them out
and declaring that he would not accept
the report of the conference unless his
judgment was complied with.
The effect of his ultimatum will be
the defeat of the appropriation bill,
although the old appropriation can be
continued in force by the passage of a
joint resolution now on its way through
congress.
Mr.. Clapp and Mr.. McCumber pre-
sumed that Mr.. Burke would yield
rather than accept the alternative
defeat of so important an appropriation
measure, but they were off their reck-
oning.
The South Dakota congressman is

absolutely right in his position. The
robbery of the nations red wards by
attorneys seeking claims with fat rake
offs has been going on long enough and
it is time for the government to deal
directly with its Indians and pay them
what it owes them without giving ten
percent TO white men for the collection
of their just dues.
Mr.. Burke has established prece-
dent that ought to live after his retire
ment from the craftsmanship of the

NO Keen Sweet Potatoes.

/ notice a request from a reader in
North Carolina in regard to keeping
sweet potatoes. / would like to give
my plan, which is inexpensive and
practically safe.
First, be sure your potatoes are
ripe before you dig them. This you
may know by going over your patch
beforehand and taking from it sew
eral potatoes. Cut them in half with
a sharp knife and lay them up. If
the cut places heal over readily and
is a white meally color, your pota-
toes are ripe. If it heals over and
presents a dark color, your pota-
toes are not ripe and should not be
dug. When you dig your potatoes
handle carefully. Throw out all cut
or bruised potatoes, clean out a place
where you expect to have your hill
and make it a permanent hill.
Spread some fine. straw and pile
your potatoes down upon the straw.
When all have been gathered cover
over first with fine straw, then cover
pile with dirt, leaving a small open
space on top of hill, from which you
may take ~thepotatoes as they r
for the table.
1t does not matter how much dirt
you place around the bottom of the
hill. Now cover over all with boards
or some other covering 80 that the
hill will be kept perfectly dry. AS
you remove the potatoes. the dry dirt
and straw will fall in among the 9TH
er potatoes and will absorbe any mois
that might arise.
L almost always have potatoes, and
they are good the year around, but
some will rot under any kind of man
agement. Be sure to keep your hill
dry.-Home and Farm.

Getting Rid of Chicken Lice.

What 1 have found to be the best
means or Kidding a chicken house of
lice l learned by accident.
| had been spraying the houses
with a preparation which l had pur-

powder and never thought of looking
for lice as / believed the two prem
a~rations I was using were doing their
work.

application of the above preparation
have never been bothered again by
lice.-R. o. C1agett.

GUMPTION ON THE FARM.

-
Old earth is never late on its
rounds. 1t arrives on time because
it keeps on moving. "A good exam
pie for all]of us who r engaged in
scratching its surface for substance
and shelter.
You cant overwork the harrow.
Be sure your wife will find you
out.
That weed right in the hill is your
worst enemy.
Don't let the weeds get a start
kill EN- while they are a-bornIng.
Easiest way.
Too often the -extravagant who
start out in the ~parlor-car come back
in the freight.
When you hoe corn. thin it out
to not more than three good stalks
to the hill. Nature doesn't like to
be crowded.
1t isn't the mark of good teamster
to get in off the road late at night,
nor to leave the horses uncurried
for two or three days.
A cheerful spirit gets on quick,
A grumbler in the mud will stick.
1t is less work to hoe twice soon
after the crops come up than it is to
hoe once after the weeds get high,
and it does much more good.
Borrowing tools and sending them
home dull or rusty, doesn't make the
other fellow grin. Better save up and
buy your own.
Again we say: Test the seed-corn
before planting, for there's much
poor seed in the country this yea
And, also, treat the seed potatoes to
prevent scab.
If you put stones under the post
of your corn house, have Them thicf
enough and large enough so that the
frost will not get below tHem and
break them to pieces.
Don't cultivate the potatoes whe'
in blooG: or coming Dill. nniess
you want a lot of stunted little tu-
bers. Cultivate them before they get
that big, and hoe them clean of weeds.

Suggestions for Spring Cleaning


Now that we are beginning to think
about the spring cleanup, a sugges-
ton for a good cleansing and disin-
fecting wash for courts, area walls,
stables, ETC., is in order. For ordin-
airy purposes the well-known lime
wash will be found excellent. 1t is
prepared from freshly lime as fol-
lows:
Take l ounce of the lime to ) gal
Ions of boiling water, adding as you
heaping) of table salt. This will
power, killing most germs and effect
ually sealing them in when used on
dry surfaces.
The United States Government for
mula for a. whitewash, where in ad-
dition to the cleansing effect durabil-
ity is desired, is as follows:
Slate half a bushel of lime with
boiling water; cover for an hour;
strain through a fine sieve and stir in
a peck of salt dissolved in enough
warm water to do the work thorough
ly; boil three pounds of rice to q
thin porridge and stir in while hot.
Soak half a round of glue in cold wa
ter for an hour, then bring to boiling
point by setting the vessals in a pot of
boiling water over the fire; stir into
the lime mixture together with half
a pound of Spanish whiting. Now
pour into this 5 gallons Of hot wa
ter; stir for three minutes from the
bottom; cover to exclude dust and let
it alone for two days. Apply hot
when you are ready to use 1t. A pint
of the mixture will cover a square
yard of the surface.
This wash is used by the govern
ment in and around army posts and
forts, and is very durable, being sec
ond only in this respect to paint

Anc0nas


Although this is by no means a new
breed of chickens, to the student of
noultry lore, yet most people know
little about them. They were first
known to civilization in Ancona,
Italy, from which place they were i'm
ported into England in about 1845.
They have been known more or leSs
ever since that time, but during tile
past ten years or so they have been
revived and pushed to the front both
in England and in this country. In
size they are very much the same as
the Leghorn with practically the same
kind of comb, wattles, and the white
ear-lobes. The males carry a full
flowing tail. The back approaches
the tail with a little more of rise than
the Leghorn. In fact, to the casual
observer they would seem to be lit
tie more than a notified Leghorn.
They have a yellow skin and yellow
shanks, with perhaps a nothing of
black. The color Of plumage is a
general ground color of glossy black
with about n feather in five tipped
with black, producing a speekled or
notified appearance from head to
tail.
Promoters of this variety claim
wonderful egg records from them, in
dividuals laying go in a year. We
do not believe they are better in n
way than the Leghorn, but are very
similar, and for any onet who fancfes
the style Of their plumage more than
that of any of the Leghorn family
they would be the thing for them to
adont and we do not think they
would be disappointed.

Plant Some Pumpkins.

Be certain to persuade the good
man to raise pumpkins for the COWS
and hogs this year, but be positively
certain that they are not all used that
way. They are gaining ground in the
South, for home eating. Send some
to market, a few at the time, and
make pin money off them. Pumpkin
pies care delicious, but few Southern
people know how to make them. Ex-
eriment, as l did, and olearn. 1t will

Chufas and Peanuts.


Wants to grow chufas for pigs and
wants to know. of course, what fer
fflizer and how much to use, for it
seems that our Southern farmers
think that they must have a special
formula for every crop grown. l Of
ten give formulas with a twinge of
conscience, not knowing what their
land particularly needs. Now as to
chufas. The inquirer is in a pea
nut section, and it does not cost n
more to grow an acre Of peanuts than
m acre of chufas so far as / have
observed, for I neve grow chufas.
and I know that an acre of peanuts
1s worth three times as Uuch for pigs
IS an acre of chufas, and an acre of
sweet potatoes will give far more feed
than an acre of chufas and cost no
more. There are two crops some
times grown for pigs, chufas and
artichokes, and I do not think that
either are worth growing as compar-.

potatoes, OF rape or crimson clover.

Final Surveys Being Made by
Road Engineers.
G. A. MORSE is THERE
Chief Engineer COnsults With
Officers on Work.
Other Items of General Interest
of Traffic World.

Dodge City. Kan, Oct. THE work
on the new Santa Fe line from Dodge
City to the southwest has begun.
The Santa Fe engineers are making
the final survey this week. At the
conclusion Of this work they will set
the stakes for the grade. 1t is ex-
pected that by that time a consider
able amount of material and construc-
ton equipment will be on the ground
ready to start the work of building
the new railroad. In any case it must
be completed and in operation at least
as far as Haskell county before the
first day of next July. That is brief
summary Of the railroad situation here
this week.
A party of Santa Fe surveyors start
ed over new line Monday morning.
They are in charge of Engineer Howe,
who is the locating official, and Engi-
neer Stewart was in charge of the
field work. c. A Morse, who is chief
engineer OF the Santa Fe Sustem ar
rived Yesterday morning to consult
with the other men in his department
These men will go over the entire
line to 4-dskell county as soon as it
Is possible and make all measurements
necessary for describing accurately the
right OF way which is to be used. 1t
is necessary to do this at once in or
der that those who have contracted to
donate the right of way may be able
to make deeds for the land needed.
1t will also make it possible to de-
scribe the land which will have to be
condemned.
Then the grade stakes will be set
and the matter turned over to the
builders.
President w. J. Fitzgerald, of the
Commercial club, c. NJ. Beeson, H.
B. Bell and George Dugan went over
the line with the engineers Monday.
When they returned Mr.. Fitzgerald
said they expected to have the data
within a few days which would enable
the right of way committee to take
steps toward closing up its work.
I'VE have decided not to spend any
more time or energy trying to con-
vince the remaining land owners that
their price is higher than they ought
to ask" said Mr.. Fitzgerald. I'm this
county we will begin condemnation
proceedings in the district court as
soon as we get the information from
the engineers. In Gray county the
proceedings will be brought before the
county commissioners who are disin-
terested parties
Mr. Fitzgerald stated that tie peo-
pie over in Gray county would take
care of the expense connected with
