Look at Little Deer!

Look at Little Deer!
Yes. That is his real name and
no one in his family thinks it
strange because he Is called after
an ANIMAL
You see, Little Deer Is a red
SKIN. And he is mighty proud OF
the fact.
He is the grandson Of Tiger
Horse. and the son of a dariny
Young scout who was in the camp
Of Sitting Bull. the great Sioux
warrior.
Little Deer dressed up In his
chaps and his riding shirt just for
you to e how he looks when he
rides.
Although he is quite small. yet
he just loves to be on the back
of a prancing pony. He has not
even heard the word fear spoken.
And surely he doesn't know what
1t means. Little Deer will ride
anything whether 1t ever had a
saddle on it's back or not.
He lives at the Fort Peck In
dian reservation In Montana.
The Fort Peck Indians are very
industrious. They are particu-
larly interested in farming. Just
lately they have been holding
fairs at which they took great de-
light in exhibiting prize corn and
grains they have produced them
selves.

COURTESY.
BY Berton BraIey.

BY Berton Braley.
I'd read, "Politeness always pays.
A pleasant smile, engaging ways
Are truly more effective far
Than kicks and growls and anger
are."
And SO l said that I would be
The very pink of courtesy;
l would not grumble, rail or fight,
But just be lovely and polite.
Observing then my frame of mind,
The motorman left me behind;
In corridor and car and street
The people trod upon my feet;
The walters where l went to dine
Looked after every want but mine
And a upon the double quick
To serve a man who made a kick,
or me they said, ooh let him
wait;
He's such a calm. good-natured
safe;
He'll never show much wrath or
choler;
Well tend this gink who's made
a holler."
was the victim from the first:
OF every deal I got the worst:
Whatever place l CHANGED to seex
They sized me up as kind and
meek
And slipped It to me left and
right
Until I ceased to be polite.
Until I dropped my gentle smile
And roared and grumbled for a
while,
Until I was myself again
They paid attention to me then.
The moral is that precepts good
Don't always work the way they

LIMESTONE is OF
MUCH IMPORTANCE
Recent Experiment Conducted at
Rhode Island Station With
Poultry.

A recent experiment by the Rhode
Island experiment station with poul-
try feed emphasizes the great need
of permitting the fowls to have pien-
ty of bone-forming material.
To compare the effect OF the add.
ton of bone ash and different
amounts of ground limestone to the
ration OF poultry, three lots each of
IA two-weeks-old Cornish Game White
Wyandotte chicks were fed the same
basal ration OF corn meal, cracked
corn, mixed feed and alfalfa. supple
mented with cotson-seed meal on an
equal protein basis with animal
meal
Lot received no added ash con-
stituents. lot enough bone ash and
ground limestone to supply phos-
phorus and calcium equal to the ami
NAL ration, and the ration OF lot 3
the same ration but with three times
as much limestone.
The experiment was begun the lat
ter part OF October and by the first
week In December all the chicks in
lot had died The chicks In lot 2
began to show signs OF leg weakness
the middle OF December and three
afterwards died None Of lot died.

SCALES ON FARM
GOOD INVESTMENT
Average Farmer Does Not Real
ize How Much He Loses Each
Year by Lack of Device.
(By r. Il. RUSIIfNG.)

| do not believe the average farmer
realizes how much he loses each year
because he has not pair of good,
reliable scales located on the farm.
Nearly all of the farmers produce Is
sold by weight, and it is not enough
to stand by and see it weighed on the
buyers scales. You should have set
OF your own in your yard so that you
may be sure you are getting all you
are entitled to. | do not mean to in
sinuate that buyers are dishonest, but
mistakes are sometimes too easily
made.
II you feed number of hogs you
should have pair Of platform scales
to weigh them on when you COM
mence to feed them, and then by
weighing the grain that is fed them
you should be able to tell whether
you were doing it at profit and how
much. When you are ready TO deliver
to market 1t takes just a few minutes
to weigh your wagon empty and again
after the hogs are loaded, and then
gpu 81 z dblt W ttil Nutit gou dlC.
OF course you must allow a little for
shrinkage From my own experience
| would say fat hogs will shrink about
two pounds apiece, drawing four
miles.
Here in southern Illinois many Of
the hogs and cattle are sold to the
buyers, who come and buy them at
the farm, and unless a pair of scales
are al hand they are generally lump
ed or. This OF course, is too Uncer-
tain. The buyers are buying all the
time and are very apt to make price
that is more than safe for themselves.
Besides there is not the satisfaction
In the deal that there is where you
see them weighed on your own
scales.
When you 60 to the market to buy
a piece of meat or to the grocery for
sugar II Is never Jumped off, but care
fully weighed, and | believe that 1t
is a poor rule that won't work both
ways. II 1t pays these people to have
scales, why will 1t not pay you?
Ii you are n farmer that does not
feed stock but sell your hay and
grain to feeders, you certainly do
need pair OF scales You cannot
afford to guess off load of hay What
you would lose in this way in a year
would usually buy pair of good
scales If YOU do much business. II
you sell your corn to feeders you are
liable to lose money by guessing off
crib OF corn or by measuring it.
This, as you plainly see, is not safe
way to do business
When you draw your wheat, oats or
rye to market and try to load about
the same every time you may find
that the loads vary 200 pounds or
more. No use to kick, unless you
kick yourself because you have not
bought a pair OF scales. for they are
constantly being advertised in the
best farm journals.
The first year had my scales got
enough more money on two deals to
half pay for the scales One was a
load OF wheat that fell short 500
pounds, and the other was wool and
still some will say II does not pay to
bother with weighing everything you
sell. They are satisfied as long as
they can see the Weighing done, but
even this is not always safe.

wharf and the Thames, and on the
Martin tower, which stands at the
northeast angle OF the inner wall.
The cement was in many places per-
ishing, and the embedded fiints i'm
periled passers-by On the upper
part of the Postern Gate tower thin
facing was hanging out from the main
surface OF the wall to distance in
many places Of four inches, and was
thus extremely dangerous. After the
plaster was removed 1t became neces-
sary to repair the masonry effectively.
In the course OF centuries the walls
have been worked over and over again
with old and new material, much OF
which WAS Indifferent. while the re-
building was often poorly constructed.
The face disclosed beneath the flint
work was thus in many places loose
and rotten. and sometimes consisted
of mere rubble. On the Martin tower,
where the work for the present is
completed. one such mass Of halfdis-
integrated rubble had to be secured
with a chain to hold 1t fast while the
repairs went on The joints had to
be repointed to depth of four inches,
owing to the decay. of the mortar.
large cracks were filled and consoli-
dated by liquid concrete injected by
the grouting machine, and the old dis
connected quoins were reinforced at
interva by new ones securely bonded
to the wall faces.
The Improvement in the appearance
OF The Martin tower Is great One
gsSFlng principle is to use stone which
~ not only durable but harmonious In
texture and color, and another is to
keep the joints subordinate to the out
lines of the stone. This is done by us
ing special grit mortar which Is
brushed over when still soft, 80 as to
leave the grit standing out and avoid
the fiat and soapy appearance which
is an eyesore In itself and hides the
characteristic lines of ancient ma
sonry.
The work still proceeding on the
Byward tower offered slightly differ
ent problems. Here. too. there was
much dlsintegration. but 1t was large

TOWER OF LONDON
British Restoring Walls to Their
Original Shape.
Government Making Effort to Undo
Mischief Wrought by ignorant
"Restorers" Of Past to Put
Structure In Condition.

London. i'm his collection OF essays
entitled "A Tragedy in Stone" Lord
Rosedale gives an account of the work
that was done in the late seventies in
connection with the preservation and
restoration OF part Of the Tower of
London, in the course OF which work
the bones of Queen Anne Boleyn were
laid bare.
The work, then begun under the SUI
pervision OF Sir John Taylor, has been
continued with more or less energy
since. but now the office of works
which is responsible for the fabric OF
the tower, is making a great effort tc
undo the mischief wrought by igno
rant "restorers" of the past and to put
what ia left OF the great structure-a
historic relic almost unrivaled in the
world-into something like the condi'
ton in which it was in the days Of the
glory-and its shame.
A writer in the Times describes in
some detail the work that is being
done. Partly, perhaps, owing to the
dredging OF the channel in the river,
to a depth which is greater than any
previous records show, settlements
have taken place in various parts OF
the tower, and cracks which may
cause serious future trouble have de-
veloped in the Beauchamp tower. in
ST. Johns chapel Ton the White tow
err. and elsewhere. These are kept
under careful observation. But the
decayed face of various parts of the
walls and towers has necessitated i'm
mediate attention, and repairs to the
most seriously dilapidated sections
have been carried on for some time.
Here, as elsewhere it is the con-
slant aim bf the staff of the ONCE of
works not merely to safeguard the
ancient buildings from further decay.
but to use every care to preserve their
character and to harmonic necessary
modern constructions with the orig
inal work.
In the last century many of the
finest parts of the tower were defaced
with coating of cement interspersed
with flints. This was presumably
done in order to keep out wind and
weather from the decayed walls at
little expense, but the eventual result
has been to increase the insecurity Of
the buildings, while giving them sin
gularly shabby appearance. The work
of removing this flint plaster and re-
facing the walls with secure and suit
able masonry has 80 far chiefly been
carried out on the Byward tower
