Gros ventre and Ojibway Indians may
be preserved and perpetuated for com
generations long after these aborig-
ines pass to the happy hunting grounds.
the United States government has
taken steps to record these mysteries
through the use of the camera and the
phonograph. The work has been taken
up by the bureau of ethnology at
Washington. through the assistance OF
the North Dakota State Historical so
ciety. The government assigned a wo-
man. Miss Frances DensmOre Of the
bureau of ethnology. to take charge OF
the task. Miss Densmore. in pursu-
ance to instructions. went TO Eibo-
woods. on the Berthold reservation. ac-
companicd by DIR. Libby, to take the
songs and stories of the Indians on a
photograph. The process will enable
her to get the rhythm and notes of the
songs. as well as data concerning the
parts these songs played in the various
dances. The Indians regard these songs
as sacred. and they are a part of their
worship.
Miss Densmcre will make her report
to the bureau of e~thnology. and her
records will be deposited with the State
Historical society in Bismarck, n. ID.

SAFE RECEPTION FOR PIGS.
Practical Suggestions That the Farmer
Will Find of Value.

II the brood SOW is given a separate
pen just before she farrows. as she
should be. you will find her making a
nest a short time before the pigs come.
II is not wise TO provide her with too
much bedding. for she will make the
nest so deep that the little pigs will
get tangled up in the straw and the
SOW may lie on them. -Four or five
inches of short straw Is sufficient. by
all means place the bedding In one cor
ner and. of course. in the corner where
the guard rails are located. The guard
rails should be 2 by 6's about eight
inches from the floor and extending
out six inches from the side of the pen.
