Tribe in Litohfield County Owns 300 Acres of Land — Overseer’s A:nual Report. Judge Gideon H. Welch held a short r session of thescourt of com- ron pieas at New Milford last week here was filed with him at that ses sion for aceceptanc the session of tha court at Winsted on Monday the annual accounting of Fred . Lane, overseer of the Schagticok: tribe of ‘Indians, in the town of Kent, Litchfield county. The siatement shows that the tribe owns perfonal estite to the amount o and avproval at 32,58232 and it has in real estate 300 | cres of land and five dwelling houses, which have a total valuation of $3,000. It shows in detail how the survivors ©f the primitive people manage to sub- sist by seiling a few potatoes and other cutting a few railroad tles and wood, and doing some work on the reighboring farm The glory of the Indian has departed | but a giance through his humble habi- tation convinces the visitor that said slory was never washed off. Rather by leading a shiftless life and by inter- marriage and mixture of races the iribe has been reduced to its present condition of ignorance and poverty. Years ago the state used to grant an appropriatiop, but this has been dis- continued., and the tribe is now under | the supervision of Judge Gideon 1 Weleh of tha county court of common Dleas, by whom the overseer receites bt appointment. The great event of the vear is when the annual rattlesnake hunt the spring—when the paleface joins in the sport and furnishes the antidote for snake bites—taken in advance. The tribe has been under unusual expense this year because of sickness and death of members, including the chief of tiie Schagticokes, James Har- vig. is on in| fire, | | 3 | i | | i l FITS AND MISFITS IN FARM LIFZ pastures and no natural fitness o grass.

It isn't reasons 10 suppose that both farmers on bo. furms will do_equally well with the same things. The farmer must follow his bent on a farm that is adapted to it, if he is to succeed (o the utmost. Right there, I suspect, is where wWo come upon the explanation cf why one man likes alfalfa and another hates it, (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) What do _you know about alfalfa? Nothing? 1 know nothing about it either. Let's talk it over! When | ask what you “know,” 1 mean jus¢ that: 1 don't mean what vou have heard somebody else =ay, nor what you have read. It iIs said that we have to walk by faith, not by sight. Certainly we farmers have more use for faith and hope than any cther set of workmen I happen to know about. But, by ginger, a little real “know”-ing comes in mighty ha dy, whenever we can somehow at 1o that state of certitude about anv- thinz! And, whether the fine-spih- ning philosophers agree or no, it is ouy own everyday common sense which tells us that about the only things we can really know are those we have handled and lived with. The surest way to know an apple is to bite it. The surest way to know an ugly dog is to have him bite you. Not long ago a neighbor of mine ex- perimented with the stuff. Ho first put it on an old garden pateh of about four acres. The land was naturally moist- and rich, and it was in_superb dith, The alfaifa did nobly.

He took time to give it & K00d test— at least three or four years. Thel using the experience he had gained kis four-acre patch, he put in a field of about fifty acres. The second y I walked across that field. 1 don't think there were any two alfalfa plants on it within three feet of vach otiier, while Canada thistles were having full run in all the unoccupied spuces. He never cut a- spear of alfalfa or any other sort of forage off the fifty aeres —had to plow them all up again and put in rye tp protect the sloping sur- face from disastrous winter washing.

The Teason I don't know is that I havenit conditions sult- aple for stock raising or dairving, and that, in the line of farming which my nvfronment has driven me into, for- age crops are reatly of about the least interest to me of any. I have to “lay my heft” on asparagus and peas and potatoes and early sweet-corn and cabbages, and the like.
