Poultry Undernourished
Under Farm Conditions

Poultry, Of all farm stock, Is most
likely to be undernourished under
practical farm conditions. Due to the
nature of their digestive tract, their
rations must be composed largely of
seeds and seed by-products. feeds ILL
balanced with respect to minerals.
proteins and vitamins. As compared
with other animals, the requirements
Of poultry for some of the vftamins
are relatively so intense that their ra-
tons should be supplemented by feeds
known to be rich in these factors.
vitamins are manufactured by plants
only. Green plant tissues are with
few exceptions the best sources Of VI
tamins known, being rich in all these
factors.
Young chicks are especially suscep-
tible to lack of vitamin in the ration
and will develop the disease known as
'1eg weakness" including impaired
appetite, an anemic condition of the
comb and wattles, dropping wings,
ruff1ed feathers and unsteady gait.
Prevention Of leg weakness is assured
ny giving INC SHiShS icooy aSSCSo "
green feed such as green cabbage or
lettuce leaves, fresh alfalfa or clover
or sprouted oats. If green feed Is not
available, to per cent Of cod liver
oil In the mash may be used. In the
maintenance Of health and normal de-
velopment in the flock the Importance
Of vitamins is undoubtedly much
greater than is realized. Rations de-
ficient in vitamins will give rise to
digestive disturbances and other forms
Of vague Ill health which can be pre-
vented by supplying the necessary VI
tamins and adjusting the balance of
the food.

POULTRY
: FATS
HATCH GOOSE EGGS
WITH INCUBATORS

Goose eggs can be Matched with in
cubators even to better advantage than
with hens 1or various reasons. Where
hens or geese are used, they are apt
to break the eggs, and again let them
chill. The first eggs from your geese
will arrive while the colo weather still
continues, and must be picked up early
in the morning before they become
chilled; geese invariably lay in the
very early hours of the morning, or
late at night, says writer in the
Rural New Yorker.
Keep eggs in a moderately warm
location-around so degrees in cold
weather When you have sufficient num-
Der to put into the incubator it should
be started Goose eggs, like hens eggs,
hatch best when fresh, not more than
ten days old. Place your incubator in
a moist, but not too damp cellar, as
goose eggs will require much more
moisture to hatch them than Is the
case with hens eggs. Run the ma
chine at as near 103 degrees as Is
possible from start to finish. Turn
eggs twice daily after the beginning
Of the third day. Always turn goose
eggs by hand handle them with much
care. Stop turning on the twenty
fifth day Goose eggs should be
cooled half an hour each day in a
temperature not below 60 degrees; IL
the cellar seems below this temper
AZURE, remove the eggs to proper point.
After the third week, sprinkle
warm water over the eggs once daily.
When goslings begin to pip, If you no
tice shells are dry and hard, there
isn't enough moisture, and unless this
Is supplied, they will stick In the
shells Keep the eggs quite moist
while Matching, by adding a pie plate
Of wet sand to the bottom Of machine.
Leave goslings in incubator until all
are thoroughly dry, usually SO hours.
Remove then to box in the kitchen
by the stove, unless brooder has al
ready been provided for. Goslings are
easy to raise, and grow very rapidly.
Water them in a vessel which cannot
be overturned, nor into which they can
get their feet. Keep them dry at all
times. Feed sprouted oats, gravel.
fine cracked corn, or any Of the dry
mixed chick feeds, but do not neglect
always to keep water before them.
Change this often; don't let 1t get
dirty.
Mature geese may be picked, or
"plucked" once every six weeks after
the laying has ceased. Remove only
the breast feathers-do not take the
down. A little experience will tell you
when they are "ripe." Do not take
feathers that have blood In the quilts.

Distemper in Colts Has
No Known Medical Cure

Distemper in colts, like measles in
children, commonly has to be put up
with some time during the young ami
mails life. Once the disease is mani
fest 1t cannot be cut short by any
form of medicinal treatment. There
fore, the animal affected should be
placed in such surroundings as will
offer 1t the most comfort and the best
opportunity to cope with the disease.
A good, roomy, clean, airy stable Is a
decided aid to such animals and when
the weather is mild they preferably
may be kept out of doors. The alb
scesses forming under the jaw should
not be meddled with until they are
ripe. Then they should be freely
opened. The escaping pus should be
collected and burned, as its distribu-
ton in stable only increases the in
lection chances Of other horses.

The lands which the Osages now
hold were given them when a reser-
walton was established for them In
Oklahoma by an act Of congress on
July Is, 1870. The land was hilly
and regarded as almost worthless; so
much so, in fact, that another tribe
to whom 1t was first given, refused
to live on 1t. SO the Osages, who, by
this time, seem to have lost their war
like qualities and who seemed unlike
ly to protest, were given this tract of
approximately a million and a half
acres. By an act Of congress on June
%, 1906, this land was divided among
the Osages, then numbering nearly q
600 persons. At this time the tribe
had to their credit in the United
States treasury more than eight. and a
half millions of,dollars In treaty money,
yielding an annual income of nearly
half million dollars. They also
drew about 100000 a year for pas
turage leases, so that their total an
nual income per capita vas approx
mately $265. Even at this time, the
Osages were known as the richest In
dams In the United States.
When Oklahoma statehood was de-
clared in 1907, the Osages continued
to live peaceful existence compara-
lively untouched by outside influences.
Then along In 1912 and 1913 oil was
discovered on their lands, and almost
overnight the Osages became rich be-
yond their widest dreams Then,
too, their troubles began. Unaccus-
toned to this great wealth, the Indians
fell prey to all kinds Of white trick
sters. The elimination of their trou-
bles was the series of mysterious
murders which began in 1922 and
which have recently been exposed.
Apparently unable to get as much Of
the Osages' wealth-and the wealth of
the Osages is constantly increasing;
the last announcement was that the
2,227 headlights In the tribe will pay
$2,4O0 each for the first quarter of
1925 instead Of $1,4OO as was expect
eddy trickery as he desired, the
white man has resorted to violence.
So although their wealth has
brought the Osages considerable hap
piness, 1t has brought them sor-
row, too, just as 1t did jack
son Barnett, the Creek Indian,
whose philanthropic and matrimonial
troubles were so prominent in the
newspapers only short. time ago.
But out of all their troubles may
come better day, not only for the
Osages but for every Indian in the
United States. The Usage case now
seems likely to be a history making
one, for recent agitation In the press
and in congress over the Indian ques-
ton in general may soon result in
some sweeping changes in the whole
conduct Of Indian affairs, and "Poor
Lo" may soon gain the tardy justice
which his friends believe he has so
long been denied.

at war with the Illinois, at one time
the warning tribes patched up sort
of truce, and when the Iroquois de-
scended upon the Illinois from the
east, the latter sought refuge for a
time among their new-found friends,
the Osages, across the great river.
The first Americans to come into
contact with these people were Lewis
and Clark. BY this time the tribe
seems to have been divided into two
main groups, the Great Usage and the
Little Usage. The American explor-
ers state that In 1902 the Great Usage.
under the leadership of chief named
Big Track, had migrated to the Ar
kansas river, and in 1904 they found
this subdivision, numbering 500 war
riors, in a village on the Usage river.
The Little Usage, then only half as
numerous as the Great Usage, were
occupying a village six miles distant,
but group, known only as the "Ar-
kansas band" 600 warriors strong,
was located on the Vermilion river,
branch Of the Arkansas.
On November 10, 1903, the first
treaty between the American govern
ment and the Osages was signed at
Fort Clark, near Kansas City. Mo. In
1t the Indians ceded all Of their lands
except those comprising the present
state Of Oklahoma north OF the Ca
madam and Arkansas rivers. But this
treaty was only the beginning. Later
cessions-at st. Louis, June 2, 1925,
at Fort Gibson, L T., January IL, 1889,
and at Canville, Kan, September 20,
1S65-gradually cut down their hold
ings until of all the vast territory
which the Osages once claimed, and
to which they held precarious title
by force of arms, but little remained.
Although the relations of the Osages
with the Americans from the begin
ming were more peaceful than those
Of many western tribes, these warlike
people did not give up their lands
complacently. Evidently they were
troublesome enough a century ago, for
one of the provisions of the treaty
made In 1925 was that the Osages
WCiC " lClidih lIOAu mOlcSlluS the
trade with the Southwest, which was
just then beginning and which was
destined to make the historic Santa
Fe trail, which ran through the Usage
country, great trade artery.
One of the finest of the canvases
painted by the celebrated artist, John
Mix Stanley, is can Usage Scalp
Dance" The artist, who visited the
Osages in the early forties, says of
this painting: "On returning from
the scene of strife, they celebrate
their victories by scalp-dance. This
picture represents the scalp-dance of
the Osages around woman and her
child; and q warrior In the act of
striking her with his club, his chief
springing forward and arresting the
blow with his spear"
However, the United States never
engaged in a general war with the
Osages, and it Is noteworthy that they
were more often our allies In wars
with other tribes than our enemies.
1t was a band of Usage scouts who
guided General Custer to Black Ket-
ties camp of Cheyennes in Oklahoma
in the winter Of 1868, and took part
in the much-discussed Battle of the
Washita which greatly weakened the
power Of the hostiles.

Successful Floor Waxing

Success In waxing floors lies In APP
plying the wax in thin coats and rub
coat about $50 square feet of floor.
After the preliminary coats of filler
or varnish are thoroughly. dry the wax
should be rubbed on with a wooden
cloth, piece Of old carpet or brush,
and allowed to harden overnight. The
next morning the floor should be pol
ished lengthwise of the grain with
"a weighted brush or heavy block
wrapped in wooden cloth, burlap or old
carpet. Then one or perhaps two
more coats of wax should be applied
and rubbed down in the same way as
the first.

Regularity With Cows

Feeding, watering, milking and turn.
ing the cows out for exercise should
be done as regularly as possible every
day. The time between feeding and
milking mornings and nights should be
divided as evenly as possible. Milking
should be done as rapidly as possible
without being rough, and it is impor-
tant that the cows should be MIXED
dry, because milk remaining In the
udder after the cows have been MIXED
acts as a positive check upon future
secretion.
