HOW TO RAISE
HEALTHY FAIL CALVES

The first REQUESTS in raising
fall calves are clean, dry, well
ventilated sunny pens. Young
calves never do well in damp.
dirty quarters. A good floor
made Of cement, or cork brick,
well bedded with short straw,
shavings or sawdust to absorb
! the liquid manure will facilitate
cleaning and keep the calves
warm. A wood floor does farely
well if the joints are laid closely
land then treated to a coat Of
creosote to prevent the absorption
of liquid manure, otherwise wood
is very unsanitary. A floor Of
earth is practically useless as it
cannot be kept clean and sanitary
The advantage Of raising fall
calves are that diary products are
much higher priced in. the winter,
the average farmer has more time
to properly care for the cows, be-
sides the average cow8will main

coming out to,grass in the spring

in the fall, theyare ready. to be
weaned in the spring and can be
put out to pasture when they will
continue to grow. On the other,

Future Of Indians
Huge Problem
About One-half of the Indians
in the United States Live in
Oklahoma

Devils Lake, N. D., Nov. "a
''The Indians present a big pro-
blem. What will become Of them
is a question that is not Yet ans
wered. Their future fills me
with apprehension Of sadness, -
said Gen. H. M. Creel OF Okla
homa, supervisor at large OF In
dian reservations, speaking OF
redskins. General Creel is in
Devils Lake on a leave of alb
sence. Since his graduation he
has known Indian life intimately,
first as an officer in the army
that aided in subduing them and
as a student of their habits.
81 have real affection for the
Indians, and it is but natural, y
said General Creel. "They were
great novelty to me when |
first came among them young
man just out of West Point. We
had many exciting skirmishes,
and after the war, when | came
to know them, they were more of
wonder. Their knowledge OF
nature, their keen scent and skill
at trailing seemed marvellous.
Before the process Of civiliza-
ton began there was much about
the Indian to admire. He was
slow and deliberate in action,
and he did not know how to lie
or deceive. They did not jangle
Tor quarrel, but if they thought
they had been wronged they con-
sidered the matter judiciously,
when they were sure they were
being imposed upon they went
out like brave men to protect
their ri ghts."
General Creel also pointed out
some encouraging exceptions
! Graduates from Carlisle have
distinguished themselves, and
many important offices are held
/ by Indians" he said. "In the
' government schools many Indian
graduates hold positions of disci.
plinarians, industrial teachers
seamstresses, etc. The Indians
have a gift for music.
Sometimes queer requests fol-
aid come to the officials, said
General Creel. One girl i'll writ
ing for new wagon said: Please
send me another. wagon. Our ole
wagon is worn cut and We will
soon have to walk OH our feet. u
| According to General Creel
about one-half Of the indians in
| the United States reside in Okla

Complaint having reached the

You are cautioned to give this
