ERADICATE LICE ON CATTLE
Frequently Serious Pest in Winter
Any of Various Dips viii Prove
Quite Satisfactory.

Lice on cattle and young stock are
frequently serious pest in winter.
Any of the various dips advertised or
sold for this purpose are effective.
They can be put on with sponge or
brush and worked in thoroughly to the
skin, but it is not always safe to wet
an animal all over in cold weather.
Kerosene and lard rubbed in from
horns to the tail is safe and sure
remedy. An even better one is 20 use
powdered sulphur. Rub it in we'll with
the hand and repeat in two weeks.
There Is no danger from using this.

EASY WAY OF PROPAGATING
Cut Shoots of New Growth Of currant
Bushes Soon as Leaves Fall
Soil Should Be Sandy.

(By s. @. COOKE. Connecticut Expert.
ment Station)
AS soon as the leaves of the currant
bushes fall cut the shoots of new
growth into lengths four or five inches
long; bunch as you do asparagus, and
tie firmly and place in trench with
the small ends down; cover about one
inch deep, and the soil should be quite
sandy, If possible.
Just before cold weather turn them
over and let them remain until spring,
when the cuttings will be in fine shape
for planting out.

PRUNING THE BERRY BUSHES
Blaekberries and Raspberries May BE
Trimmed Any Time After Leaves
Have Fallen.
CBy r. q. wEATHERsToNE.)

tBy r. G. WEATHEHSTONE.)
The question Is often asked as to
the amount of pruning necessary for
blackberry and raspberry bushes and
when this should be done.
This pruning of raspberry and black
berry bushes may be done at any time
after the leaves have fallen. If
could have my choice as to the date
would do the pruning at the close of
the winter. But those who have large
plantations are obliged to do the prun-
ing when they have leisure time,

With the morning came clear coun-

out of town and would not return un-

around, restless and excited. His

FESTIVAL AT GAN GERONIMO |S
 BIC EVENT

TAGS, N. NJ, Sept 23. - The feast of San Geronimo. or the ancient har- vest festival of the Pueblo Indians, is held here each year on September 30. On that day there usually mingle an Intensely modern civilization. in the persons of spectators, from all parts of the United States, and one so an cient that no scientist is known to have yet penetrated the veil that has hidden it for centuries.
 Taos is an Indian settlement that has existed on the same spot for SO many years and centuries that the history of it's beginning is lost in the profoundest obscurity, except for the traditions of the Taonas them selves, whose secretive characteristics make it impossible to gather authori- tatiye information.
 Aged old clay buildings, piled one on the other, form the cliff dwellings of the Taonans. Less than a days jour ney is it from Denver, and can be reached by automobile from Santa Fe in comparatively short time. In spite of this nearness, however, its civiliza, ton is that of time many years be- fore the coming of the Spanish explor- CT and conquistadOre (conqueror). who found the Pueblo Indians living in the same primitive way as they live to, day.
 Most of the celebration of the har, vest festival takes place on the pueblo plaza, but in the kiva, or ceremonial cave, there are held the secret rites which none outside the initiated has ever witnessed and made his know ledge known. These ceremonies and rites have been handed down from generation to generation, and declared 10 De unchanged from those practised in the same kivas for thousands ot years.
 The festival of San Geronimo. dedi cated ostensibly to the patron saint of the Pueblo, is really an annual thanksgiving to the sun god for the harvest. It is so old that none of the patriarchs of the village seems tC have any knowledge when 1t first was celebrated. It is the most important of the tribal feasts, and Is attended by other Pueblo Indian tribes. the Apaches and Navajos. It is a typica Indian celebration, and because of its ancient origin usually is witnessed by scientists from eastern institutions.

NAVAJO INDIANS PAINT SACRED
 PICTURES

ALBUQUERKE, N. NJ, Sept 20. - Of considerable ethnologicaI interest will be the paintings done at the New Mexico State Fair this fall by & party of Navajo sand painters, who will make fer public display the sacred Yabecha sand paintings. These paint ings are related closely with the reli. gious life of the Indians. and normal. iy are made only near the home of some Navajo on the occasion of reli. gious observance. This generally is a tribal dance whose object is to obtain from the deity his release from evil spirits causing sickness.
 The paintings are made with no i'm. plements except a brad stick, which is used to smooth down the foundation bed Of clean yellow sand On this the painters strew grains of claek blue, yellow. red and other colored sands to form the pictures. The lines are more or less geometrical charac, ter and the subjects of the pictures all deal with Indian mythology. Some of the sands are obtained from long distances, and with much difficulty and these are prized very highly Others are obtained by pounding up the vari-colored rocks Of the Navajo reservation in northwestern New Mexico.
 The Yabechi painters were at the fair last year and attracted much in terest The fair this year begins Sep. tember et and continues to Ssptem ber 30.
