Some of the older Sioux chiefs
wanted to yield to the government
and to sign a peace treaty. Red Cloud
was asked to join them. He replied
furiously: MOI / want war!" The
more valiant young warriors echoed
his defiant shout. And war they had
for years thereafter. Red Cloud kept
the frontier ablaze with excitement.
Among the famous soldiers who fought
against him from time to time were
Generals Miles, Sherman, Sheridan,
Crook, Terry and Custer. More than
once he proved too willy for the best
of them. But one leader, be he ever
so inspired, cannot with 5000 savages
defy whole country forever. So, in

braves were cooped up on a reserva.

When Sitting Bull, in 1876, in the
campaign which cost Clusters life,

making ready to start, took away their
ponies and made Red Cloud a prison

This was in 1880 Red Cloud was

the thinning out OF his warrior band

SITTING BULL

Custer. franks to a clever ruse of the
medicine man, was quite deceived as
TO the number of his foes. Instead of
withdrawing or waiting for rein
forcements. he divided his force to at
tack the camp from different sides
At the head of one INSTRUMENTATION
500 men-Custer rode blindly into
battle-or. rather, an ambush-from
which neither he nor one white man
with him came out alive. Reno, with
most of Clusters remaining troops,
was cooped up on hill by swarms OF
Indians and barely escaped
Clusters Death.
It was Sitting Bull who had planned
this death trap for Clusters soldiers.
But in the battle itself, Gall, war chief
of the Sioux, was the actual command
er. Sitting Bull took no part in the
fight He sat at the door Of his tent
well out of bullet range. bowling
hymns to the Great Spirit and working
spells of jugglery for his warriors sue
cess.
Knowing the government would take
swift revenge Cor Clusters death, Sit
ting Bull retreated, fighting, before
the soldiers advance and at last qui-
city slipped over the border into Can
ada, where he was safe from pursuit.
In 1881 Sitting Bull accepted terms
of peace and came back to the United
States. There he settled near the
Standing Rock agency in North Da-
kota He made several tours OF the
east, was ON exhibition in New York
and elsewhere, and earned money sell
ing his pictures and autographs. His
adventurous career seemed at an end.
But a few years later he was busy as
of old stirring up his nation to dis
content, advising them not to give up
their remaining land to the white
man, and transmitting to them fiery
messages from the Great Spirit. he
was in 1889 one of the preachers I'll
not the secret originator of a doc
trine that an Indian messiah was about
10 come to earth to bury all the white
men thirty feet under ground and
give the whole country back to the
savages. This sort of talk goaded the
Indians to fresh revolt. And again,
Sitting Bull was the central figure in
Sioux uprising. To nip the insurrec-
ton in the bud a squad of Indian po-
lice came to his village on December
Is, 1890, to arrest the old chief. He
resisted and shouted to his braves to
rescue him. In the hand-to-hand fight
and general confusion Sitting Bull was
shot dead.

a solution made by dissolving two
tablespoonfuls of lead acetate in a
quart of water.
Leg wounds in horses are a rather
serious matter, since they are likely to
leave a blemish which will lower the
value. 1t is important in treating them
TO secure a healing which will be so
perfect that no one will suspect that
a wound has ever been there. For such
wounds one veterinarian suggests the
following: Clean the wound with a
wash composed of one tablespoonful
of acetate of lead, one tablespoonful
of sulphate OF zinc, four tablespoon
fuls of tincture of arnica, and one
quart of water This wash should be
used every hour or so the first day
and three oy four times daily thereaft-
er. The object is to keep the wound
while healing, lower than the surface
of the skin. If it pushes up, bichlor-
ide of mercury, as much as can be put
on the surface of dime, should be
placed on the sore 1t is said that leg
wounds thus treated will heal over
leaving no blemish.

WHEN is A EVE DOING WELL7
General SprIghtIlness and Behavior Of
Animal Are Good indication OF
General Condition.

1t sometimes puzzles the sheep grow
er. especially the beginner, to know
when his ewes are doing well. Many
man is so anxious that they do well
that he overdoes the matter while OF
course, there are those whose ewes
do not do well enough.
1t Is impossible to gauge ewes
well being by the number of pounds
she is gaining, yet this is one of the
first induces of her condition and the
one most commonly adopted by sheep
growers. IN general eve ought to
be gaining about six pounds month.
If she was uncommonly thin 10 begin
with she should be gaining even more,
while If she was fat, she ought to be
gaining pound or two less.
To be in good condition a eve ought
also to be enjoying an easy and thor
ough digestion and an, active circula-
ton of blood. These things depend in
part ON the amount of exercise given
her Also A pregnant eve ought to be
given some succulent food which helps
to keep her digestion in good order
and her feed should contain goodly
portion of the protein elements which
are necessary in tissue building and
in the growth of the foetus. She ought
to have plenty of exercise every day
as this keeps the muscles of her di-
gestive apparatus Ia good play and
| her circulation active.
A eve is doing well when she is
making a fair steady gain, and when
all her organs are functioning proper
ly, and when her appetite seems keen.
Her general sprightliness and behav-
| ior are a good indication of her feel
| ings. A eve that is dull and dumpish
is usually ailing in some way. Often
times it is only too much feed and too
little exercise that is accountable for
! this condition, however

UNUSUAL INTEREST IN HOGS
Visitor to Cine of Large Western Fairs
Notes Attention Paid to Live
Stock Exhibits.
CBy B. E. LINDsAY3

10y % II. llINIoA L >
During a visit to one of the large
western state fairs this fall | noted
with much interest the features which
attracted the most attention among
farmers and their wives. The live
stock exhibits We're always surrounded
by crowds. out of these more interest
seemed to center in the hogs than
anything else. The hog pens were
always the center of intense interest
and so great were the crowds that at
times it was almost impossible to pass
through the aisles. Much of this
interest may be attributed to the fact
the high prices for hogs which have
ruled for the last year or so, make
these animals the biggest money
makers on the farm. One farmer
said to me:
Il have always raised hogs, but
never paid much attention to breeds
before. Just raised a good average
animal, fed corn mostly, took what
the market offered and let it go at
that, but now, when | see a fat pig
bringing from SIS to $40 and even
more | have determined to improve
my breeds. | find it costs no more to
feed a hog that will produce $40 than
ii does one that sells for SIS. and
therefore | am down here at the fair
ready to invest a few hundred dollars
in good breeding stock"
II would be interesting to know
whether the sales OF high class stock
have been larger this year than usual,
but judging from the intense interest
taken by buyers at this particular fair
which was attended by as many as
10000 farmers in single day, |
should say that the sales were larger
than they have been for many years.
