THE SIOUX INDIANS "GlVEAWAY''
ON INDEPENDENCE DAY.

| Giving things away to his friend!
is the means of celebrating the 4tl
, OF July that the Sioux Indian EN-
ploys. This unique system of cele
bration, so characteristic of the ope1
handed red man, is known to thu
white inhabitants of North and Soutl
Dakota as the "giveaway" and is of
ten the means of beggaring the GOOD
natured son Of Lo, who enters into
his particular form of pastime with
the same whole-heartedness that the
American boy, old Or young, exhibits
in his passion for pyrotechnics.
The 4th of July will prove a gala
day on the reservations. Indians old
and young, Indians good and bad
will join in the ceremony. Nature
supplies the vast amphitheater for tn
merrymaking, while the white breth.
rem will come from far and near to
make the necessary vast audience,
for the Indian loves ceremony and
picturesque surroundings and in con-
sequence takes his enjoyment more
heartily when he occupies the GEN.
ter Of the stage.
Among the Sioux tribes there has
always been a custom of making
presents on occasions of ceremony
and when great numbers are gather
ed In former days, when thousands
were sometimes assembled for the
hunt, the waiting time in camp was
often enliVened by people in one
band making presents to some in an
other. The "giveaway" was also
practiced at funerals by the relatives
OF the DECEASED, with the general
result of beggaring them. The best
gifts went to those who walled the
loudest. When visitors from a dis
lance came to see a man the pub
licity Of the event acted on him as|
stlmulant, just as publicity does
with white people. Under this slim
illus the host sometimes gave his
most valuable property to his guest.
While this custom is in general
practice throughout all the Sioux
tribes, there is no hard and fast rule
for carrying it out. Each Indian
strives to make some striking and
display of his generosity.
There are no committees to appor-
ton the gifts or to dictate in any
manner whatever how one shall dis
pose Of his property. The popular
voice, however, has much to do with
ones satisfaction in giving. Woe un-
to him who undertakes a sneak Of
any sort. Each giver must, to gain
applause, give the best he has. And,
Is a rule, the one who gives with
he remotest hope of reward is &C.
claimed the lOudest. While a profess
'lona orator is always on hand to
announce the gifts where the giyers
ire too timid to do so, one who can
make his own speech always receives
pplause. In late years visiting
'ands of old hereditary enemies have
arried away the greatest prizes. An
indian loves to receive gifts so we'll '

creased by a small extra outlay for
food.
Ii has been demonstrated that fowls
do better where they have part of
their ration of grains, either whole or
cracked, and part of It of ground
products or what is commonly called
a mash. Until within the last few
years, It has been the custom to feed
this mash wet. This necessitated the
mixing of the mash fresh for each
feeding and required great deal of
extra work in mixing and feeding. On
this account the farmer has never
taken to the feeding of mash With
the introduction of the feeding of this
part of the ration dry, from hoppers
or feed boxes, the objection to It has
been largely done away with, and 1t
can now be fed with less labor than
can grain. Enough mash can be mixed
and put in the feed boxes to last for a

SEVERAL FACTS ON POULTRY
Flock VIII Not 90 Much During Au-
gust and Pew Eggs Are TO Be
Expected--Time to Clean.
cBy PROF. L. sw1NEYJ


AS a general rule the flock will not
do much during the month of August.
Some hens are still broody some
are beginning to moult and one may
expect but few eggs for while.
Then, too, most of us are apt to
grow careless about the poultry busi-
ness, since 1t Is not, at present, bring
ing us in anything worth mentioning
We neglect to clean out the drop
pings as often as we used to- the
roosts are never washed and aired
out; no fresh new nests take the
place of the old, filthy ones; while
the heat coupled with all these pro-
duces scent both nauseating and
dangerous to the flock.
Lice and mites thrive under these
conditions and unless we keep close
and constant watch they sneak in and
are playing havoc before we realize
It, So. let's dip the hens about the
time they begin to mouIt and spray
the poultry house thoroughly with
some effective, homemade solution
There are many such and they cost
next to nothing
Let's wash the roosts with ter
quarts of good, strong soap-suds &c
which have been added quart o
kerosene and some strong brine, ol
use a good coat of whitewash.
Let's see that every atom of thu
droppings is removed from the build
ings. then, to make sure we have dom
clean job, spade up the dirt floor t
bury the last vestige Of filth. Thi
should bring matters back to norma
and with an occasional spraying
ought to insure the flock beginning
the fall and winter egg-laying cam
paign early.

A hog simply will not be responsible
for poor fences.
There is no better place to raise
pigs than In a good pasture.
Even the hogs like a variety OF feed
and will do better If they can get 1t.
There is no animal that responds so
quickly to good feed and treatment
as the pig.
How much per bushel can be made
from wheat by feeding to hogs2 In
what way should 1t be fed?
Almost every wrong act of the horse
is caused by fear, excitement or mis-
management, said a great horseman.
The individuality Of each horse
should be studied, and the feeds sup
piled to meet individual requirements.
Feed roughage to the stock before
and excites the digestive apparatus to
action.
The pure-bred sire and a dam of
the same type Of as good blood as II
is possible to get will usually bring
desirable colt.
Be sure to have some dlsinfectant
to use on the young colts navel when
he arrives. A half minute at this time
may save the colt later.
In eight years out Of ten the hog
feeder will make money, in one year
he will lose and in one break even.
This is the year of the even break.
Twenty acres of corn put into a silo
Is said to be worth more than 80
acres put In the crib. This Is quite
an item. especially when feed is 80
high.
Begin to break the colt early If you
would have an easy time with the
work and well-broken horse. A two
year-old Is easier to break than a
four-year-old.

breeding purposes they should be CIV

Of boarding up the pen tight at the
trough end leave an open space the
length of trough, with a board across

FATTENING VALUE OF PEAS
For Use With Cattle Crop Probably
Is UnexcelIed--Make Good Food
for Horses at Work.
(By PRoF. THOMAS N. SHAWL

(By PROF. THOMAS N. sHAw)
There is no kind of live stock on
the farm to which peas cannot be
fed with positive advantage when they
are to be had at prices not too high.
They are not commonly fed to horses,
since they can seldom be spared for
such use, but they make a good food
for horses at work, and for colts
during the period Of development, IL
given as a part OF the grain food.
AS food for fattening cattle, peas
are probably unexcelled. Much Of
the success which Canadian feeders
have achieved in preparing cattle for
the block has risen from the free use
of peas in the diet.
During the first part of the finish
ing period they will be found peculiar
ly helpful In making beef, owing to
their relative richness In protein, but
they are also a satisfactory food at
any stage of the fattening process.
During the first half of the finishing
period peas will be found superior to
corn, but toward the close of the same,
corn could probably be fed with
greater relative advantage.
Peas with oats or bran make an ex.
cellent grain food for cattle that are
being fattened. Speaking in a gen.
eral way, peas should form about one
third, by weight, of the meal fed, but
as every feeder knows, the relative
proportions of meal used should vary
somewhat as the season OF fat
tening progresses.

count the labor in either case.
A homemade box for feeding dry
mash serves the purpose very well.
1t may be improved by putting the
Stats on the inside of the front and
having wire screen to cover the front
at night to keep out rats.
A good style OF galvanized feed box
is covered by grating of expanded
metal The hens get their food
through this grating and are thus
prevented from pulling part of the
mash out of the hopper in their search
for the ingredients they like best.
BY hooking the lower end of the graf
ing up at night, the hopper is made
rat-proof.

FEEDS FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Farmer Should Be Able to Supplement

CRv j. s. IEFFERYO

The production Of eggs for market
Is generally considered the most prof

Under proper conditions there is no
reason why eggs should not be pro

good margin of profit. This should
be especially true of eggs produced
on farms where the fowls may find a
large part of their sustenance at no
cost to the farmer, utilizing what
would otherwise be waste products.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT
 FOLLOWS LATE FIRE
T. ]. SHELTON ASKS $1o,ooo FROM D. ]. DoOD, A MERCHANT ON
 PARK AVENUE.

A damage suit in the sum of $10,00O was filed late yesterday afternoon by Attorney W. c. Bouic. in which T. J. Shelton asks this sum from D. J. Dodd, Park avenue merchant.
 It is alleged in the complaint that Dodd made statements in effect that T. J. shelton had set fire to the buill- ing in which he had some furniture insured.
 John Coppeak, a young man of th.s city, had been arrested and charged with arson in connection with the fire, but was acquitted at the pre- lmiary hearing before Justice AL ford
 The Claybrook house, on Park ave- mud, was Hound ablaze about two weeks before the fire above referred to, and Mir. Shelton owned furniture in the building on which $2,O00 of insurance Was carried.
 One of the policies of sl ,OOO on the furniture had been cancelled, under the evidence before the justice court, and Mir shelton took another policy in another company making up the insurance as it had stood before, at $2,0O0.
 Late in the morning following the ta building was burned, and parties re- siding in the nelghborhood declared they saw persons leaving the prem tses, which caused the belief to origi- nate that the building had been set fire
