Cover ..or Stevens description IL
the party of buffalo hunters r 90
characteristic that it is quoted ~
most in full. He says: The train
consisted of 824 carts. about 100
animals and 1900 persons, men.
women and children, the whole pre-
senting a very fine appearance.
They encampcd near by, and the
close ward which they formed
presented quite q contrast to the
open camp adopted by m. They
make = circular or square yard Of
the carts, placed side by side with
the hubs adjoining, presenting .
barrier impossible either to man or
beast. The tents or lodges were ar-
ranged within, at . distance Of
about 20 feet from the carts, md
were Of conical shape, built Of
poles covered with skins, with On
opening at the top for the passage
Of smoke and for ventilation. They
were 1O4 in number, being occupied
generally by two families, averag.
ing about ten persons to tho lodge.
Skins were spread over the tops Of
the carts and underneath many Of
the train found comfortable lodgine
places.
Corral Described
"The animals were allowed to rum
loose during the day to feed, but
were driven into the corral ct dark.
Thirty-six Of the men are posted
a. sentinels, remaining on guard all
night. We have but e guards.
three reliefs, not moro than four
men being on guard 1t one time.
II was much pleased with Gov.
ernor Wilkie, who il the head Of the
expedition. He 10 . man Of about
go years Of age, Of fine appearance
and pleasant manners. This party
are residents Of Pembina and IT.
vicinity. When at home they are
engaged in agriculture, raising
wheat, corn, potatoes, and barley.
The land yields about Is bushels Of
wheat to the acre, their farms aver.
aging about ID acres EACH They
are Industrious and frugal in their
habits, are mostly Of tn Romish
persuasion, leading q virtuous and
pious life. They are generally &C.
companied by their priests and at
tend strictly to their devotions, hav.
ing exercises every Sabbath on
which they say they neither march
nor hunt.
Have Parochial Government
"Their municipal government Is
Of a parochial character, being d.
vided into five parishes, each one
being presided over by an officer
called the captain Of the parish.
These captains Of the parish retain
their authority while in the settle
ment. On departing for the hunt
they select a man from the whole
number who Is styled governor Of
the hunt. He takes charge Of the
party, regulates its movement, acts
as referee in all cases where any
differences arise between the meme
bers in regard to game or other
matters, and takes command In
case Of difficulty with the Indians.
I'm the early part Of the year,
till the middle Of June, these pso.
pie work at agriculture. when they
set out on their first hunt, leaving
some 80 at the settlements In
charge Of their farms, houses, stood,
etc. They start out the southweId
in search after buffalo, taking with
them their families, carts, animals
etc. These carts, when loaded, con-
tain about 800 pounds, and arc used
| in common. There were 1886 man ~
the present train, Of whom over 500
were hunters"

INSIDE INFORMATION

To remove chewing gum from a
washable dress, soften the stain
with the white of an egg and then
wash.
Spices and seasonings do not sup
ply the body with building material
or energy but they are important as
appetizers.
Awire dish drainer is a great
time saver. Hot water can be pour
ed over the china, and only the sill
yer and glasses need be dried.
Farmers Bulletin 1880, "Fitting
Dresses and Blouses" is just what
you need when you begin your fall
sewing. 1t may be had for the ask
ing.
Children should be taught to eat
the crusts of bread and rolls for
the sake of their teeth. They should
be cautioned, too, to chew their
food thoroughly.
Planned summer squash is fine.
Cut the squash in quarter inch
slices, flour them, and brown in
butter in heavy skillet until they
are tender and deep gold in color.
Instead of cooking pumpkin and
then rubbing it through a colander,
try putting the fresh pumpkin
through a food chopper. Then it
cooks quickly and time and fuel are
saved.
Have you a rest corner in your
kitchen? Near a window with
pleasant view, put a small table
where you can write up accounts or
menus, sort housekeeping papers, |
or prepare your grocery order. Have |
a comfortable chair here, and some |
sort of rack or shelf for cook |
books and such household maya |
zines as may be glanced at while |
is cooking. If space per-
mits the darning bag or any other
pickup sewing may be kept handy
here, too. The table should have a
small drawer if possible, where the |
purse may be Access
sible but out of sight.

of Agriculture.
One half of the oranges, lemons,
and grapefruit grown in the United
States are packed and marketed by
associations.
associations are as wide
as the intelligence and integrity of
and members who work
together-B. B. Derrick, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
Farm tenants for the most part.
are young men. Tenants farming
in 1920 averaged 80 years of age
with IL years experience as ten
ants. Of farmers under Is years of
age, over three-fourths were ten
ants, but of farmers of IS years and
over only sixth were tenants.
Experiments to determine the pro-
per time of applying heterogeneous
fertilizers to fall-sown oats indicate
that in northern Georgia best re-
suits will be obtained when the ap-
plicatiOn is made around March 1.
In the Coastal Plain application
should be about February 1.
1t pays the farmer well to clean

his wheat, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. Not
only does the clean wheat command
higher average price than the
same grain before cleaning, but the
dockage obtained has a farm feed
ing value that is roughly compar-
able to oats in composition. During
1926 dockage sold locally at country
points at an average price of about
SIG ton.
Dairy COWS being fattened for
slaughter should be handled and
fed in much the same manner as
beef animals. Cows giving milk
should be dried up. The best ration
to feed would depend upon the con-
dition of the COWS and the feeds
available. Corn is one of the best
fattening feeds, and if fed with a
legume hay or some concentrate
rich in protein such as cottonseed-
meal or linseed-oil meal, dry dairy
cows should fatten.
ITO control the river is to con-
troll the mountain" This ancient
proYerb was a guiding principal in
the Japanese policy of erosion con-
troll and torrent regulation as long
ago as 1858. Since that time re-
forestation has been applied extern
sively throughout Japan as a factor
of prime Importance in the protect
ion of the tremendously valuable
rice fields of the empire, and in in
surfing the permanency and full
utility of the waterpower resource.
Latest figures show that farm
tenants comprise 1856 per cent of
the total number of farm operators.
The percentage of tenancy in the
different States and counties shows
a wide variation. In some counties

HALLOWEEN DOINGS

The kid element are allowed GER
tain amount of leeway by sensible
people at Halloween time. A moder-
ate degree of trickishness is per-
mitted. But where their frolics cause
destruction of property, or make
trouble to home owners, or disturb
aged or ailing people, they have
gone beyond the limit. That fact
should be somewhat forcibly dem
onstrated to their young intelli-
gences.
