Rev. William H. Ketcham, director

While there Father Ketcham met Q
number of Pottowatomies he had not
seen for twenty-five years. He said
mass in the new church, and the SER
vice was very interesting, as the In
dams sang their old.time Pottawatomie
hymns, and the English sermon was
repeated by the interpreter to the con.
gregation.
Among the Iowa and Sank and Fox
Indians of the Great Nemeha reserva-
ton, which lies partly in Kansas and
partly in Nebraska, conditions were
not encouraging. Mission work seems
to have died out completely; a church
which formerly was used for these
Indians having been sold in recent

of Leavenworth, there is little
church in the town of White Cloud
cared for by one of the Benedictine
fathers of Atchison, but no Indians
and very few white people attend SER
vices here.
Father Ketcham visited all the Cath.
Ollie Indian missions and schools of
Oklahoma and several government and
Protestant institutions. His chief
work in this state was the putting up
Of good, substantial school building

There is much to be done in Oklahoma
which contains more than one-third of
the Indian population of the United
States. Unfortunately there is scarce
y circumstance in their surround
ings which is favorable to religious
work among any of the Oklahoma
tribes.
Father Ketcham expects to have the
Quapaw school building ready for &C.
cupancy by Christmas. Before return
ing to Washington Father Ketcham
visited the Flathead and Fort Peck

COVERING FOR GRAIN STACKS
They VIII Save Farmer Their Cost the
First Season and Will Last
Five or Six Years.

A good investment for any farmer
who does not thrash from the stack or
store his hay in barns or sheds, is a
lot of stack covers.
They will save their cost the first
season, and If kept in the barn when
not in use will last five or six years.
Covers are used great deal in the
eastern states, where the value of any
thing raised on the farm is more keen
ly appreciated than on the big farms
of the west.
But they will pay anywhere.
There is no more reason why good
grain or hay should go to waste on a
big farm than on a small one.
Get covers of heavy canvas about -
x24, or 16 feet square, and weight
down the sides.
They can be bought of any farm i'm
plement house.
They will keep the top of the stack
dry and there will be no necessity Of
throwing away half dozen layers Of
wheat, or half ton of hay, which is
generally done where the covers are
not used. l.. M. B.

By Z. M. BENNINGToN1

One of our neighbors has tried this
plan advantageously: He sowed clover
on the spot because the garden soil
is subject to teaching.
The clover roots bring many ferti-
LIKING elements to the surface, and as
the garden is also enriched by extra
manure the changing of the location
enriches an entirely different plot
Another good thing is close cultiva-
tion, which is death to any weeds.

PASTEURIzATIoN AS cURE-ALL
Given In Usual Commercial Way II
Kills Only Tactic Acid Germs
Intended for Protection.
Ry R. G. wEATHERsToNEl


A great many have had an idea that
pasteurization would solve all of the
difficulties regarding our milk supply,
but after a close study of the matter
we believe 1t is often used as a cure,
all for milk and cream that is not fit
for human consumption.
1t has been proven that the pasteuri.
cation given in the usual commercial
way kills only the Tactic acid germs
which nature placed in the milk as a
protection, while the pathological
germs, which are the real menace to
the health, are left in an alkaline in
stead Of an acid medium all ready
to multiply when other conditions are
unfavorable.
