TTS HISTORY. Gow Texas Charlie's Life Was Savet by the Indians. THE SCOUT. THE SAME EDY THAT EFFECTED HIS CURE W USED THROUGHOUT THE CIVIL, iZED WORLD. OME years ago Mr. Chas, Bigelow, now one of the proprietors of the famous Kickapoo Indian Remedies, was acting as a govern. ment scout in the Indian territory. He was known at that time as ‘Texas Charlie,” and while on one of his expeditions was taken sick with a severe fever, and for a few days lay at death’s door. During his sickness he was cared for by an Indian Chief and his family, in whose lodge he lay, so weak that he could hardly raise his eye- lids. An In- dian doctor visited him, and gave him thatnow most famous of © Indian rem- "y edies, Indian “*- Sagwa, and ? by its use he was snatched from the jaws of death and restored to health, owing his life to the wonderful efficacy and curative power of this medicine. He then en- deavored to persuade the Indians to give to him their secret of its ingredients, This at first they refused to do, but after much per. suasion and many dis: cussions they at last par- tially yielded to his request and the Chief of the Tribe sent East with Mr. Bigelow five of his most \ renowned ony medicine “men, to- gether with an ample supply of the roots, herbs, barks, gums, etc., used in the manu- facture of their medicines. What started thus in a smal way has ever since increased, and to-day there is manu- factured from similar materials gathered cy the Indians themselves, their famous remedies, which have done so much to alleviate suffering of every description. ilized world there is no more po- tentremedy known for diseases re- sulting from a dis- ordered condition of the kid- neys, liver, stomach or blood than Kickapoo Indian Sagwa t Kickapoo Inaian Worm Cure, Kickapoo Indian Salve and Kickapoo Indian Oil, makes a list of remedies that will accom- lish a cure in all classes of sickness. ‘hese can be obtained at ary druggists This together with their ! RHEUMATISM AND HEART TROUBLE. From the Reporter, Oconto, Wis. A-representative of the Oconto County Reporter, while in conversation with Mrs. John Daley, of Kellybrook, Wis., the other day elicited the ilo hig insereecne stay, which we publish for the good it may do like sufferers. Mrs. Daley said: “For about fifteen years I have been so troubled with heart disease that I have been unable to make a quick movement. I have been hardly able to climb a flight of stairs, and it has been as much as my life ‘was worth to attempt to lie down for any length of time on my left side. And for the last ten years rheumatism has so both- ered me that at times I could not raise my hand to my head. I believe I spent the price of a good farm for medicines during those years of illness, but with no perma- nent Felief. “About a year ago I noticed in the papers uccounts of wonderful cures attributed to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and made up my mind I would try them, They could at least do me no hurt. “T had taken them only about ten days when I began to feel better and I have steadily improved up to the present time. Ican now go up and down stairs as wing as a ten-year-old girl, and all trouble witl my heart has disappeared. My rheumatism has almost ceased to trouble me and the headaches which formerly kept me sick a large part of the time are less frequent and painful. é “My son was also troubled with nervous- ness and sleeplessness, but three boxes of Pink Pills have made him a well man. Iam glad to recommend this remedy to any who have been troubled as I have been. (Signed) “Mrs. JoHN Darr.” Subscribed and sworn to before me this 1st day of October, A. D., 1896.

How Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. EARD’S Dairyman says: There is more dairy literature floating around in the newspapers than ever before in the history of this country. Some of it is good and much of it worse than nothing, for it is based on exploded ideas. The following twenty-three points we find in a daily paper, evi- dently culled from some other source, so we do not know to whom to give credit. In the main they are good sug- gestions: SELECTION AND BREEDING. + 1. Select the best cows in your herd, or that you can buy, to keep, and dis- pose of the others. 2, The best cow for the dairy is the one that produces the greatest amount of butter fat in a year (for food con- sumed) when being rightly fed. 3. Test your cows by weighing the milk of each cow for a year and test- ing it occasionally with the Babcock milk tester, and know how much but- ter fat each one does produce. 4. To renew or increase your herd raise the heifer calves from your best cows. 5. Use the best dairy-bred sire you ‘can get; one, if possible, that has a long line of ancestors and have been first-class dairy animals. 6. In this way you can make each generation better than the preceding one, if they have at all times proper care and feed. . 7. It is neither profitable nor neces- sary for a cow to go dry more than four to six weeks. 8. Especially should your young cows be watched and not allowed to acquire the habit of drying up too soon, 9. Darken the stable in which the cows are milked through fly time. It ‘will not only economize the patience of {the milker, but the cost of milk pro- duction as well. 10. Keep a record of the time when cows are bred, and have no guess work about the time of calving. 11. Provide a roomy box stall, and allow the cow to become accustomeé to it a week prior to calving. 12. Rich foods should be withheld for a short time prior and subsequent to calving. 18. The udder should receive prompt attention. An obstacle may be re- moved from the teat the first hour that might baffle science later. 14. A pail of scalded bran should be given to the cow as soon as possible after calving. 15. The calf should be permitted to nurse its mother for two or three days. 16. After separating the calf from its mother, feed the natural milk as soon as drawn, for a week or ten days. 17. Then begin gradually to substi- tute skim milk with oil meal jelly stirred into it. 18. Scald the calf’s feed pail daily. , 19. Feed three times a day and not more than three quarts at a time until the calf is well started. 20. Warm the milk by placing the vessel that contains the milk in hot ‘water. 21, Warm the milk in 90 degrees Fahrenheit. 22. Don’t trust your finger, but a thermometer, It will save many a calf’s life. 23. The man whose ideal of a cow is high, coupled with good care, feed and gentleness, is sure to receive the highest profit in milk and pleasure that can be made in dairying. We will add a couple of other points: 24, Always clean out the box stall after a cow has calved therein, and thoroughly disinfect it with a solution made of one part of sulphuric acid to nine of water. This is to prevent septic poisoning of the next cow, which may easily occur. 25. Do not milk the udder out clean until the four day after calving. This will often prevent a chill, which often produces milk fever. Chicken Roosts. A great many of our farmers seem to think that a hen will do as well with a pour roost as a good one, if.I may judge from my own observation, says a writer in an exchange. The style of roost that seems so scientific and eco- nomical to the general class of farmers is that of the step or stair style—one roost back and above the other. The lower pole is very close to the floor, while the. upper one. is, generally, as near or nearer the roof or ceiling. It saves space, of course, but you are al- ways surer to find the lower pole near- ly empty, while the upper one is crowded full. Often the fowls crowd one another off with fatal effects. Some argue that fowl wish to roost high, therefore the roosts should all be high to satisfy their desires. It is true that fowls wish to roost high, but it is an inherited habit handed down from the fowl] in its natural state. They wish to roost high to keep from danger. If your house is kept well closed there is no need of high and dangerous roosts. I place my roost poles.on a level and about eighteen inches above the floor. This is in the part of the room where the air is the purest. The impure air rises to the ceiling and some gases fall close to the floor; this style of Toost avoids both, as well as prevents injury to fowls jumping down from the roosts. For roosting poles I use a 2x3-inch scantling, rounded on one sk i fiancee einar: edge so as to fit the feet of the fowla, I place them on trestles with suitable notches in them, with the rounded edge up.. Keep the roosts clean, and by placing oil or tar on the bottoms of them you will be without lice. A good coat of whitewash is also good to keep away the pests. The diseases caused ty high roosts are mainly bum- ble-foot and lameness, but other dis- eases have their origin from them. Effects, of Getting Wet- Mr. W. P. Aikin, Graham, Texas, was unfortunate in having some four months old chicks get wet, the result being that they have been sick ever since. He states to the Poultry Keep- er the details in a letter below: “I have a flock of fourteen Black Mi- norcas about four months old. We had a rain about one month ago and they all got wet and stayed wet all night. In a few days I noticed a viscid mu- cousy blubber on their nostrils. They do not have any canker in their mouths or throat, but the roof of the mouth seems inflamed. I have been using coal oil, turpentine and carbolic acid, with a medicine dropper, in the nose and throat, but they do not improve very fast. Can you recommend any- thing to put in the feed? Will they be fit for breeders if they get well? They look perfectly well and hearty. If you did not look close and see the trash sticking on their beaks you would not suspicion anything being the matter with them. I have four roosters in the flock and they seem worse than the pullets. I used peroxide of hydrogen on them yesterday. Do you think that good for them?” The journal mentioned comments as follows?) We do not know of anything more injurious to four months’ old chicks than ‘to become soaking and remain so. If they had gotten wet dur- ing the day and had the warmth of the sun, it might have been different, but to remain wet all night means that they were chilled through. It is a sur- prise that they did not die in a few days.. The treatment is correct but laborious, and as the climate of Texas is mild they may recover. If they make a complete recovery they can be used for breeding. The best remedy 1s to add a teaspoonful of chlorate of potash to each quart of drinking wa- ter, and repeat the peroxide of hydro- gen occasionally. Look at That Bull. Prof, Sheldon, the eminent English authority on dairying, speaks his mind on the vicious practice of using scrub- by, low grade bulls, as follows: “Look, for instance, at the weedy, miserable bulls that many farmers are content to use in their herds—wretched quadrupeds that should never be al- lowed to live beyond the age of veal. Some men say, by way of excuse, ‘My poverty, not my will, consents’; yet, on the other hand, it may be remarked that no man can really afford to use inferior, low valued bulls in his herd. That any man should continue to do so year after year can only be regarded as a kind of heedless infatuation which precludes all hope of improvement. ‘The bull is half the herd,’ is an axiom which should be drilled into the mind of every farmer’s son who is himself to be a dairy farmer—drilled in until he fully realizes what it means, That there are many of the present genera- tion of farmers who do not half com- prehend the vast importance of this is greatly to be feared, for it is plainly enough to be seen in the inferior sires that are kept for stock purposes, It would be interesting to hear the an- swers such men would give to the fol- lowing questions: What sort of stock do you expect euch a bull will get? or, De you really expect to pay your way as a farmer by using a bull like that? or, What would you say if you saw an- other man burdened with a similar load of crass stupidity? Unfortunate- ly, it never occurs to them to put such questions to themselves, and it is too commonly nobody’s business to do so in their default. There is no excuse nowadays for a man who uses scrubby bulls among his cows. Plenty of well descended bulls are to be had at prices within the reach of any man who can afford to keep cattle at all.” Essentials of a Dairy Farm. A United States Agricultural Depart- ment bulletin makes the following sum- mary of what is essential in the suc- cessful operation of a dairy farm: A roomy, clean, dry, light and well ventilated stable or cow house. To pro- duce good milk, cows must be comfort- able, and these conditions not only add to their comfort, but are absolutely necessary to keep them in the best of health. Healthy and clean cows, which ap- pear well fed and contented. An abundance of pure water to which cows are given access at least twice a day. Feed of good quality, the grain and coarse fodder should be free from dirt, decay or a musty condition. A spirit of kindness towards the stock, exhibited by every one employed about them, and gentleness of the ani- mals themselves, Provision for washing and sterilizing or scalding of utensils which come in contact with milk. Provision for straining, aerating and cooling the milk in a clean atmosphere, free from all stable and other odors. This treatment should take place im- mediately after the milk is drawn from each cow. Facilities for storing milk and keep- ing it cold. Especially great cleanliness in re- gard to everything connected with the dairy. ‘The atmosphere of the stable should be pure and free from dust when milking is being done. Employes should carefully wipe the udders and wash their hands before milking, and should be in clean clothes. Whitewash is a good disinfectant, and should be seen in many more stables, and land plaster should be sprinkled about to absorb moisture and odors, ‘ Patents Issued, ‘List of patents issued last week t Northwestern inventors: ‘ Friederich W.
