HOLD MEDICINE DANCE
Many Indians Observe One of Their
Tribal Rites

Indians to the number of about 900
held their annual medicine dance
near Vesper last Saturday and Sun
day. The dance commenced at sun
set Saturday night and continued
without interruption until sunset
Sunday night. The medicine dance is
given to propitiate the Gods, the
theory being that by doing this the
Gods will keep them from disease
The dance is done to the music OF
tom-toms and never ceased during
the twenty-four hours. When one got
tired, says the Grand Rapids Leader
another took his place. They danced
until they were exhausted and were
on the point Of falling, and even then
seemed loath to cease. With the
chanting of their songs and the noise
of the instruments used, the evolu,
ton of the participants, gaily clothed
in gorgeous attire, with painted faces
all were fascinating and strange to
the many white people who were
present.
With the Indians furs take the
place of silk and diamonds of the
pale faces and noticeable feature
of costumes worn by Indians of furs
displayed. Indian tanned furs OF
foxes, mink, beavers and many other
animals were displayed, and it was
$4,000 worth of furs worn.
During the dance the Indians
served refreshments to their white
guests, to whom special Invitations
to be present had been extended and
accepted.

The attendance at the first Lady
smith fair has exceeded all expecta-
tions and the future success of this
undertaking can no longer be ques-
toned 1t has taken lot of hard
work to accomplish what has been
done this year. Exhibits in such
abundance that it was impossible to
properly display lot of it showed
gratifying interest in the project
on the part of the farmers. Another
year more buildings will be provid-
ed and there will be better oppor-
tunity to entertain the visitors in
many ways.
The fair was fortunate in getting
good weather on all but the open
ing day. The heavy rain Wednes-
day evening did not harm the new
race track in the least, owing to it's
excellent drainage, and the grounds
were quite dry, save in few spots,
the next day. 1t is evident that an
ideal location has been picked for
the Ladysmith fair and We believe
that the people of Rusk county will
all be proud of this exposition Of
the county's agricultural possibilities.
Many who have been opposed to the
project bitterly went away from the
fair ground yesterday and today as
boosters.

Greatest Feat of Arms

The most magnificent feat of arms
as yet recorded in European theater
of war is not the German capture of
Namur, or the Russian triumph at
Lemberg, or the German triumph
over the allies in Belgium, or the shat
tering of the German offensive on
the Marine, but the total annihila-
ton by the official British press bu-
reau of an entire Russian army which
came from Archangel to Ostend by
way of every British port that read
lily occurred to the Imagination.
Anywhere from 10000 to 100000 Rus
slams, all of them six feet tall and
more, have thus been swept out of
existence Though their fate is now
known, there is still a vast curiosity
as to the manner in which the Rus
sian army was brought from the
Arctic to the Belgian coast. On
this point the Evening Post congrat-
ulates itself on being in a position
to give to the world a special, I'M
censored, wireless dispatch from
Thrums, Scotland, by way of Drum
tochty and Lilliput:
September IA: Jean MacGregCr,
whose family has lived in this place
for more than two hundred years,
and whose reputation for veracity
is unquestioned, was overheard to re-
mark to her friend Maggie Campbell
this morning that on going to the
railway station for the purpose of
buying a ticket to Glasgow, she was
halted by a sentry and told that no
trains were running to Glasgow.
And how is that?' said Miss
Campbell.
Rushin' troops to Belgium" said
Miss MacGregor, nodding significant
ly.
Thus one of the greatest strategic
achievements of the war stands ex
plained.-NeW York Evening Post.

THE SOIL OF THE OZARKS.

The soil in this country is a cho-
colatc loan on the uplands and Il
deep black in the bottoms. The
surface is mixed with a little sand
and is underlaid with II red clay
Subsoil. This red clay has a ten
dcncy to conserve moisture and
there is very little danger of
drought doing material damage
TO crops of any kind. The land
here is covered to some extent
with growth of principally oak
timber, although you will find
plenty of walnut, hickory, butter
nut, ash. sycamore, mulberry and
wild cherry in the bottoms. The
oaks are principally white oak,
black oak and some red oak.
Large quantities of the oak is
large enough to make good saw
timber and it is rapidly being cut
out for that purpose.

TREES SAVED THE HOME.

The story is told of a diSSatlS-
fled. unsuccessful man who had
become disgusted with the farm
and decided to sell it. But as may
be expected the farm was not
very attractiv" to the would-be
purchaser. The homo grounds had
no trees, flowers or orchard.
John, sale his wife, who was
more progressive than her hus-
band. and who knew that John
would do better on that farm than
anywhere else. ''vhy don't You
plant some trees around the home
and perhaps it will help You to
sell the place
II hadn't thought of that. -
John replied. IF they help me
sell out I'll plant them.
But they didn't help John sell
out. for once trees. plants and
flowers were growing around the
place. the farm was taken off the
market. AS unapprcciativc as
John appeared. the trees anchor
ed him TO the farm and the
home and he did not now wish 10
sell the place.
1t is remarkable how trees,
vines. flowers and fruits kindle
the sentiment of home. Many good
farms have been sacrificed be-
cause the place seemed bleak and
bare without trees. Take no
chances on yours. but start an or
chard, lay out garden, plant
flowers and trees to bind you to
the home and the farm.

PLANTING OF STRAWBERRIES
Maryland Man Sets Plants Eighteen
to Twenty Inches Apart and Culti-
Yates In One Direction.

In a talk on strawberries by j. W.
Kerr Of Maryland, before the State
Horticultural association, the matted
row plan Of planting was given the
preference by the speaker The plants
are set is to 20 inches apart, and are
cultivated in one direction. The rows
are well mulched with straw. Two
years Of cropping one bed are deemed
sufficient. The speaker said he re-
CARDS strawberries as more remunera-
tive than any other fruit. Even or
dinary management will brink good
results. The crop is fastidious as to
soil requirements, and the grower
must learn what varieties DO best on
his land. For instance, one grower
who has 20 to 30 acres annually in
the Candy variety has a moist, rich
soil, which Is what 1t requires. He is
very successful with this variety.
There are other late ripening kinds
that are profitable. The question OF
varieties Is SO local and circum.
scribed," said the speaker, that 1t can
be solved by the expert individual
only" One variety may prove a rank
failure; where with another person it
may prove very profitable.

The farmer who rotates his

and good Judgment.
The best place to hammer

The aviator is about the only

The sidc-drliverv rake and rural
delivery are two innovations Of
convenience to the farmer.
Inconsistent farmers make hay
while the sun shines and leave
their mowers uncovered when it
rains.

FARM FACTS AND THEORIES
Lamb Creep May Be Conveniently
Constructed in Cattle Hurdle
Method of Drying Of Cow.
By w. r. CILRERT)

tl3y w. II. Gll-BERT.D
THE LAMB CREEP Is an invaluable
institution. 1t may be conveniently
constructed In cattle hurdle with
rollers at the side so that the frisky
lamb does not hurt itself during in
gress and egress.
THE BEST method of drying off a
cow is to feed her on dry food, and
reduce the milking periods to once
daily. Smearing the udder with tar is
an old-fashioned method. Others used
to bleed the COW. and give dose Of
one pound EPSON salts.
Fortunately nature herself most
frequently determines the length Of
the milk of the milking period. A
COW begins to go stale, and good
farmers do not consider It profitable
to have cows that breed regularly
more than ten months in lastation.
WHEN the cow is frisky with the
tail at milking 1t is a good plan to
tie 1t to the leg. Modern hygiene has
no faith in whlsked tail during milk.
ing. 1t disturbs the loose hairs, and
shakes the dust off the coat into the
milk pail.
ACCORDING TO Wolff, the food
standard for milch cows Of 1000
pounds live weight Is "a pounds dry
matter, Of which 2:5 pounds is pro.
tein, 12.5 pounds carbohydrates, and
four per cent. fat. This Is equal to
an albuminoid ratio Of l:5.3s.
THE LONGHORN is good for both
the butchers and milk.production
where quality is main consideration.
1t is a good butter.making breed, and
the best may be depended upon to
produce from II to IS pounds a week.

BUILD SUITABLE HOG HOUSES
Building May Be Cheap and Simple In
Construction, but Should Be Con-
venlent-Easily Arranged.

When hogs are handled in large
numbers, or where twenty or more
brood sows are kept. a hog house
large enough to accommodate the ma
jority Of the stock is often. found.
This system has the advantage of en-
abling the breeder to handle his hogs
with less expenditure OF labor and
time than is possible II they are scat
tered over a larger area.
When such house seems desirable,
It may be cheap and simple in con-
struction, but should be convenient,
1t should run east and west, and is
most easily arranged with row OF
pens on each side Of an alley way,
which extends the entire length Of the
building. The walls may be OF one
inch material siding. but should fit
very close in order to prevent
draughts. The roof should be moder-
ately high. to provide sufficient venti.
lation. Quite number Of windows
should be installed in order TO pro-

vide sufficient sunlight to keep the
pens dry and free from disease. The
pens should be by s. or. for large
sows, 8 by 10 feet.
There are many things to be said
in favor OF individual houses. First
Of all the hogs can be scattered more,
thus lessening the chances OF disease
spreading through the entire herd.
Secondly, fields and pastures may be
utilized regardless Of their location or
proximity to other farm buildings.
Third, such buildings are quite mex
pensive. and the number can be In
creased as the herd increases In size.
There are many types OF these
houses. For a single SOW, the A type
is usually built by s by 8 feet high.
The rectangular type Is built Z by s
feet for one SOW, or 9 by IL and divid.
ed into two compartments. Those
with the higher roof and with proyi-
sions for opening either the sides or
the roof, have 80 far proven the most
satisfactory. ..--.----
