Seven Weeks as a Captive of the
Indians
(By Courtesy of Minneapolis Journal

While the Indians cruelty killed
most of the whites they captured in
the Minnesota uprising, in 1862, there
were some notable examples of kind
ness on their part to captives. The
personal story of Benedict Juni still
living in New Ulm, who was seven
weeks prisoner among the Indians,
| Is a testimonial of that kind. In fact
one gathers from the simple, direct
and intensely interesting narrative
that young Juni thought the Indians
in some respects better than the
white man.
His father at time of the uprising
occupied farm between Beaver
Falls and Morton and about i've
miles north of the Lower Agency.
His father dealt, . good deal with the
Indians, knew something of their Ian.

Junf's story is this:

and the women and children were
allowed to pursue their way to Fort

my father, about the time the
women and children started of from
our place in the wagon with the Zim-

them to place now occupied by the
village of Morton. I was then to pro-

fated to call on many settlers that
morning. The Indians interfered with
our program. First they came upon
my father, who was guarding the cat
tie, and drove him of into the open
prairie. Their guns were significant,
and he took their advice to decamp,
reaching Fort Ridgely before any Of

THOUGHTS OF SPRING FEEDS
Birds Should Have Variety, Especially
Great Deal Reasonably Rich In Pro-
tein-Lime Is Needed.

Apoplexy among fowls is generally
confined to the overfat birds and gen.
orally the heavier breeds are subject
to It, 1t Is, therefore, necessary that
the keeper does not feed any great
quantity of fat-forming feeds to his
birds, especially to the heavier breeds
In the spring of the year more than
any other time of the year the birds
should have a variety of feeds, and
especially great deal of feed reason
ably rich in protein should be includ-
ed In the ration.
Soft-shelled eggs are usually pro-
duced In considerable numbers at this
time OF the year. The reason for this
generally lies In the fact that the birds
do not get the proper feed. To form
an egg shell the proper materials must
be present, and If they are not present
the soft-shelled egg is the result.
Lime Is one of the necessary mate
rials needed in the formation of an
egg shell, and at this time of the year,
when the hens are beginning to lay
liberal amount of lime should be
present at all times where they can
partake OF 1t when they desire In pro-
viding any kind of feed whether II be
vegetable or animal feed, be sure that
It Is pure and wholesome. Musty
grains and rotten meats will cause
sickness many times when the flock is
In perfect health.

FOR FEEDING TURKEYS ONLY
Small V-shsped Trough Elevated to
Height to Allow Big Birds to
Pick From is Useful.

Often on farm where turkeys are
raised right along with the chickens
and other poultry, 1t is desirable to
feed them heavier than the other poul-
try, yet suitable means of doing so are
not available without fenced yard
to separate them. writes p. G. Gross
of Ohio in the Prairie Farmer. In
such cases the following contrivance
serves admirably;
A small V-shaped trough, of imma-
terial length, is elevated by means of
supports to height that will allow
the turkeys to stand on the floor and
pick from 1t, yet be too high to per-
init the chickens and small fowls do

Bailey in the Farm and Fireside. For
the Asiatic breeds It should be not
less than 91s feet long, Is inches wide
and 20 inches deep. The hen enters
the nest by walking in on the plat
form. Her weight causes the platform
to tilt, which, by means of the lever
attached, closes the door. When the
