— s A PROTECTOR. J.E. Dennis of the Minneapolis Police Force, Owes His Life to the In- dians. He Praises Their Instinct. The Story of His Troubles Experienced in Dakota, and How the Indians Came to His Rescue. Mr. Dennis of 3141 Harriet Ave., Minneap~ olis, writes to the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co. as follows:— ‘I want to say a good word for your famous Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. While in Dakota’ about two years ago my health was completely broken down, result ing from a deranged condition of my stomach. The poisonous alkali water aggravated my trouble until I realized I was in very bad shape. Nothing would give me relief until [ tried ‘your Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. I began to improve immediately and less than two bot- tles entirely cured me. Can recommend it tte all.

Sow Successful Farmers Operate This Department- of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. Advance in Dairying. T is true that the dairy schools are doing much for dai- rying. It is true that the agricultur- al papers, and insti- tutes, and speakers, 4 and writers, are do- ing much for dairy- ing. It is also true = that many dairy- —— men have become progressive and are doing much by their example for dairying. Neverthe- less, advance in dairying is slow, very slow. And why should it not be? The advance is counted not by what a few do, but by the average of what all are doing. Dairying is a thing that must ‘be dealt with in its parts and not in its whole. Every man and every wo- man that milks a cow or makes butter ‘is a part of that whole and each part must be dealt with separately. The ad- vance is more talked about than real, when speaking of the whole. The dirty dairyman has not by any means yet been eliminated. The ignorant feeder and butter-maker are still in evidence The dairyman who cares little about the condition of the goods at delivery is still a great factor. All of these must be reformed, and the work is slow. It is astonishing to find how nu- merous are the farmers that neither take papers nor attend institutes. These are the ones that it is most dif- ficult to reach. They imagine that they comprise in themselves all knowledge in the lines in which they are work- ing. For these reasons dairy advance must continue to be the result of con- stant preacning of what some call the dairy gospel of good cows, good but- ter-makers and cleanly habits. Prob- ably there is no better way to reach the common cow owner than the neigh- borhood meeting. Farmers, especially if neighbors, can say things that will be listened to, when if a_ stranger (often called book farmers) were to give the same advice it would be re- jected. We feel that every reader of this column has a personal work to do in this line. If-it be possible to call small meeting of farmers for such dis- cussions, let it be done by all means. Start the ball rolling. Like the little ball in the snow, it will become great- er as it rolls. A multitude of these meetings should be held all over the country, and the work of reformation started at the bottom. Strike first at the dirt. That is the greatest and most uncompromising enemy of the dairy- man. Then strike at the poor cow. She is a stumbling block that makes many to offend. If these two points can be impressed—cleanliness and good cows —the referm will have been well be- gun. But some will say, “Why, the farmers already know these things!” Perhaps so, but they do not realize them. Some- times people know things and allow conditions to go on for years, but sud- denly something starts them to think- ing of them hard, and they wake up. The wake-up is usually followed by ac- tion. This is the case with dairying. Men don’t stop to think, at least, do not think in a way that results in ac- tion. The days are coming when the same number of cows tbat are kept now will give double the amount of milk and butter that they do now. The time is coming when the science of making butter will be so generally dif- fused that all the product will be twice as valuable as now (not necessarily twice as expensive to the consumer), but the dairymen will be the gainers in the cost of keeping the number of cows indicated. Dairy advance is at present largely confined to neighbor- hoods, which is a hopeful sign. It shows what influence will do, espe- cially the influence of neighbors. Let every man put his shoulder to the wheel. Care of Poultry. It seems to me there is not much new to be said about poultry raising, especially if one has read the poultry papers, one of which every farmer ought to take. It is the oft-repeated story, but if I tell it again perhaps some one will be benefited by it. Poul- try raising in this country has become an extensive business, and is growing more in importance every year. He who raises the best fowls of any good breed, for market, for breeding, or for exhibition purposes, will not only make his mark as a breeder, but will be look- ed upon by fanciers as one who dis- plays good judgment in fowl culture We Americans generally look at every- thing from a financial standpoint. Our ‘first question is, “Will it pay?” That depends altogether on the man- agement. The secret of success is sim- ply doing what you can do well. Cer- tainly, what is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Now, if we begin with that idea, and a natural love for poultry, we are sure of success. The poultry yard can be managed so that it may become one of the most remun- erative portions of the farm. With a little thought, and a trifle more ex- pense, it is as easy to raise finely bred fowls as those of a common order, and the effect is far more pleasing. He who wishes to improve his stock from year to year, must be continually weeding out the imperfect birds, and breeding cnly from those which show the desirable qualities. If farmers would take as much pride in improving their poultry as they do other stock, their yards would not present such a motley coloring of fowls. Symmetry is altogether disregarded, and breeds are crossed and recrossed with just that ° i { effect that arises from no management at all. is where the attention must be be- stowed. Get the women interested; give them good quarters for their fowls; help them, if necessary, to keep them in good order, giving them the proceeds for their pin money, and, with their constant care, that part of the question will be solved. If your pout- try house is not warm, make it so, to protect your hens and chicks from cold, damp winds. Have it on a dry hill- side, facing the south or east, if you can, giving the fowls the advantage of the warmth of the sun in winter. Ar- range it so that it can be thoroughly ventilated at all times. Have a hard floor, covered two inches deep with fine gravel, so the droppings can be easily taken up. The perches should be smooth and not too high, with just as little “riggin” about them and the nest boxes as possible. Everything should be movable, so the whitewash brush can be easily applied on all sides. Change the nests often. A few drops of crude carbolic acid in the white- wash, for the perches and nest boxes, will be found a good preventive for ver- min. Vigilance is the watchword. The comb is always an index to the condi- tion of the fowl. Look at your hens every day; see that they are healthy, and keep them so. A good warm mess of potato parings and scraps from the kitchen, all boiled up together, season- ed so it is palatable, and thickened with bran and a little corn meal, is much relished, and excellent for them in the morning; occasionally may be given a tonic of cayenne pepper, but not too much, The remainder of the day feed whole grain as they need it. A box well filled with old plastering, oyster shells and charcoal, with a lit- tle pounded up fresh every morning for them to pick at, is of great advant- age. I find nothing better to keep them healthy than plenty of broken charcoal. The short cut grass from the lawn during the summer, clean and nicely dried in the shade, is greatly relished by them in winter, when de- prived of their natural supply of green feed. Whether in or out of confine- ment, they must have meat food in some form—the hens demand it to pro- duce eggs in abundance, which they will not fail to do, if fed a little every day, when they can not have access to their natural supply of bugs and worms. It is better to give it to them raw, as nature supplies them. A hen is a machine. Give her plenty of the rough material, and she’ll return you a nicely formed egg,which no mechanic can duplicate, Feed regularly, and especially the young chicks. There is no kind of stock which appreciates regularity in feeding more than poultry, and those who practice it are sure to find that it pays. Habit has been truly said to be second nature, and all kinds of ani- mal life appreciate the fact. Certain hours should be set apart for feeding the fowls, say seven in the morning and six in the evening, and it will not be long before they will come together on the approach of the feeding hour, and eagerly look for their regular ra- tions. Regular feeding is beneficial alike for those in confinement and those which have their liberty, for it induces the latter to return home at a certain hour, and thus prevents losses which would otherwise occur. On the farm, where poultry is seldom, if ever, confined, regular daily feed, especially in the evening, should be adhered to, and this is with turkeys an absolute necessity, as their predatory habits would lead them so far away that they would form habits of staying. Feeding ‘Oats. Generally and with the larger pro- portion of our crops we find it best to haul up and feed out in the barn and feed lots. In doing this so far as the weather will admit we try to feed the corn fodder and coarse fodders in the feed lots, feeding the hay and straw in the barn, says N. J. Shepherd in Ne- braska Farmer. But it is often the case that during the fall we. will have quite a long spell of pleasant weather and the stock will do fully better dur- ing the day running the pastures or fields than in the close feed lots. We find in many cases that it is a good plan to shelter at night, but to give a full run during the day. In doing this we find it some advantage to haul out corn fodder and feed in the fields rather than to haul everything to the barn and feed out there and then be obliged to gather up the manure and haul out. While there is hardly any question but that there is some loss in feeding by scattering feed upon the ground and that the manure will not be scattered as evenly as would ordinarily be done when thrown from a wagon. But gen- erally there is a considerable saving in time and hauling, so much so that it will more than overbalance the loss. In doing this, however, care must be taken not to continue the practice so long that the stock are exposed to cold or storms, or it is a good plan to feed out in the fields when the ground is so soft that the stock will tramp it up. But by avoiding extremes the labor may be lessened and time is often an item on the farm. The Hog Wanted.—A correspondent of the Country Gentleman says: We want more size, bone and stamina, bet- ter feeding qualities, more fecundity, and the bacon type of hog, and we want these things associated with good breeding qualities, good development at a somewhat early age, easy keeping qualities and, above all, docility. How shall we get what is wanted? Theo- dore Lewis of Wisconsin answers the question thus: ‘Do just as I have done —get the best sows you can within the limit of your means, but do not buy some half-starved, ill-bred animal that is closely related to the razorback. Get something that shows better breeding, and have them served by the best boar in the neighborhood. Take the best care of them, and let ingenui- ty be your guide in the construction of shelter of whatever kind. Feed freely and at regular hours. Never carry more than you can feed liberally.
