The maximum contract period with

The law also provides for wood

for this purpose may avail them
selves of the law subject to the
tax heretofore described except
that they are not required to pay

"The land use problem is of
the greatest Importance" says Mr..
Anderson. Gland owners should
make an inventory of their hold

once to get them into the proper

st. Paul were DESTROYS of securing
it. A French half breed, who was
unfriendly to a judge in st. Peter,
secured the enabling act and kept
it until the time was UP for it to
be passed upon, and st. Paul be-
came the capital. The Indian new
er adopted the white mans mode of
living. One Indian, who had been
east attending college came home
dressed in the most up to date
clothes. Upon his arrival at the
reservation, he proceeded to cut
off his trousers at the knees, cut
off the sleeves of his coat, and re-
move most of the crown of his
plug hat. He led the Battle of
Wounded Knee, where Sitting Bull

two and one half dollars an acre

them.

There still remains and always
will, an air of mystery, of stories
yet to be related, of past, wait
ing to he explored, when the his
tory of the red man is sought. We
interviewed John Mcconnell for
some time and found that the
fund of knowledge which he pos
sesses on the subject is well nigh
inexhaustlble and rich in the lore
of the red man and his early
haunts.
His first contact with them
came at Ft. Ridgley in 1854 where
squaws came to beg. Dressed in
skirts, with leggins and the newt
able blanket, which often contain
ed a papoose, they were the work
ers of the family. Mr.. Mcconnell
stated that he had seen them car
ry a two hundred pound sack of
flour on their backs. The squaw
looked with disdain upon any man
who did what they termed wo-
mans work, those few that did,
were called squaw men, and were
ignored Iby the squaws. The tepees
required twelve poles of white
cedar which went from generation
to generation. 1t was often neces-
sary for them to go as far as Mon
tana to get them and they were
priced highly. Where ever they
moved they took the poles with
them. The tepees were covered
with buffalo skins, or cloth, if they
could obtain any. A fire was
made in the center, the smoke es-
Gaping through the top. When they
went to bed, sleeping on skins or
what ever they could find, the
whole family always slept in a

circle around the fire, with their
feet toward it. Deer were plen-
tiful, and the mem hunted and
fished, thus supplying food for the
families, while the squaws raised
what they could from the soil.
Two poles fastened on horses,
with a cross piece served as a
means of hauling the children and
camp outfits, this was called trav-
OILS, meaning travel. The rest trav-
eled in straight line, Indian file.
Canoes were made of trees hollow
ed out of birch bark. When pad
ding they always remained stand
ing, balancing themselves easily
and covering miles in very short
time.
Mr.. Mcconnell lived among the
Indians twelve years and in that
time he became acquainted with
their quaint customs and habits.
There was a dance for everything,
the only musical instrument being
a regular war drum, called the
tom-tom which consisted of a skin
stretched tightly on a frame. The
medicine men were the chief lead
ers and high consuls for every
thing, there was nothing thought to
be impossible for them to perform.
Every spring Indians came from
the reservations to catch sap, it
took three pals to make a pan of
sugar, which was to them a great
treat. After the sap gathering
they remained for a time and
hunted and fished, before leaving
for their homes in the west. Rab-
bits were white, and about the
size of jack rabbits. There were

exchanged for various articles
from them to the whites. On a
whole, the Indians were friendly,
those in this vicinity saved one
hundred whites during the insur-
rection. Fire water, although pro-
hibited, was sold to the Indians,
and agreements with the whites
were not kept, which finally re-
suited in the greatest massacre of
our history, when over thousand
were slain.
The land west of the Mississippi
was purchased for six cents an
acre which was to go to the In
dams in gold, amounting to about
two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
This payment was delayed until
the Indians became incensed and
leaving the reservation, swept
across the country. The LIQUOR
which they managed to obtain
from the whites added to the
trouble. The first killing occurred
at Litchfield, the battle of Wood
Lake ended the trouble. Four
hundred Indians were captured and
It was the general idea, that the
whole four hunred would be hung.
Pres. Lincoln however would not
permit this, so ten out of each one
hundred was chosen to hang. One
died, and one who was only four
teen years of age was spared, so
that thirty-eight were hung at
Mankato in 1862.
Those who were involved in the
uprising were deported to Ne
braska. They were separated from
their families, and the women
sent to the Yankton Agency with
the children. Little Crow, head
chief of the Sioux, led the insur-

Mineral Mixtures No
Cure for Hog Cholera

''Many letters reach my depart
ment asking whether a certain min
eral mixture or hog tonic will cure
or prevent hog cholera" says DR..
w. A. Billings, extension veterinar-
ian of the University of Minnesota.
"These inquiries are best ans
wered-No.
'fMany misinformed persons are
making statements to the effect
that this or that mineral mixture
will prevent hog cholera, NEGRO,
worms, etc. These statements are
without foundation and are mis-
leading, to say the least.
"Anti hog cholera serum is the
only agent that will prevent chol-
era. 1t has no effect on the worms
and will not prevent NEGRO. 1t is
not a shotgun remedy.
GAIL farmers are warned to use
nothing other than anti hog chol-
era serum for cholera control.
Don't wait until the hogs are sick
before you think of vaccination.
This is often too late.
"Hog cholera is a specific con-
tagious disease. Mineral feeding
has no relation to the disease what
ever. The feeding of minerals is
satisfactory for the lack of these
elements in the feed. 1t will not
prevent contagious diseases.
"Epidemics of hog cholera are
often encouraged by the failure of
hog raisers to take advantage of
this protective treatment. This
statement is simple warning that
anti hog cholera serum will pro-
tect hogs from cholera and no
other agent can be relied upon to
cure or prevent this disease"

Owners Slow to Act
Under 1927 Forest Law

Owners Slow to Act
Under 1927 Forest Law
Farmers and other land owners
have been slow to make use of the
1927 law providing for auxiliary
forests, says Parker O.. Anderson,
forester of the agricultural extern
sion service of the University of
Minnesota. Lack of interest may
be largely due to lack of informa-
ton concerning the new act, he
believes.
Any owner of land may apply
to the county board to have his
land classified as auxiliary forest
after which a contract is entered
into with the state for long time
period. While undergoing refor-
estation the land will be taxed at
only per cent of one-third of its
true and full valuation. CONNER
cial forests under development un-
der the reforestation contract will
be subject to an additional tax of
three cents an acre for fire protec-
tion purposes. When the timber is
cut, yield tax of 10 per cent of
it's full value will become due.
1t will thus be seen that the law
provides for a low tax on timber
while it is growing and postpones
