The San J)3e scale Is now found In every county of Indiana. This pest was Imported from China and thus has no natural enemies in this country. Wherever man does not combat It tho scale multiplies unchecked until the trees on which it Is found die. Most of our old home orchards have passed out of existence by way of the scale route. This loss of Rood, healthy. bearing trees Is a preventable one and some of the very effective remedies ßhould be applied In the earlier stages of the scale infestation. Tho best remedy for the San Jose ecale that has yet been found is limeBUlphur wash. This material can either be bought in the form of a commercial mixture or made up at home. When bought it should be one of tho high-grade articles and should test better than 32 degrees Uaume. The- home-made material can be made by cooking together 38 pounds of good, freshly burned lime and SO pounds of high-grade flowers of sulphur in 50 gallons of vater for one hour. This home-made solution should test nbout 2C-2S degrees Kaumo. Iioth the commercial mixture and the homemade solution are concentrated and should he diluted before being applied to the trees. As the San Jose scale is an armored Insect protected by a waxy covering, a very caustic material must be

used in Its control. In order not to Injure the tree this material must bs applied while the trees are dormant. Hence all spraying for the scale must be done, during the winter months. Any time when the weather permits from November to March will be satisfactory. The commercial lime sulphur should be diluted at the rate of on gallon to nine of water and the homt made solution diluted at the rate o one gallon to six of water. Both spray solutions will then test about 4.5 degrees Haumo on the hydrometer. As the lime sulphur solution is a contact Insecticide, every portion of the tree should be coated. If the scales are to be killed they must be struck with the spray solution. Great care should be exercised in the application of the material as those scales not killed can reinfect the whole tree in one season. Contrary to popular belief the San Jose scale is not the hardest pest to control which infests - the orchard. Proper material applied at the proper time and In the proper way will kill 90 per cent of the ineects. Either purchase a good brand of commercial lime sulphur or carefully make your own and then apply it conscientiously and you will be able to save your home orchards from destruction by the San Jose scale.

Feeding Corn giiage to Fattening Lambs By F. G. KING, Animal Husbandry Department, Pardas Experiment Sutloa Purdue Unirersitj Agricultural Extension

SHage Fed Lambs. Purdue Experiment Station, 1910.

Tho remarkable efficiency of the silo

for Increasing the feeding value of the corn plant bas been clearly demonstrated with cattle, but has often been looked upon by sheepmen with suspicion. That such suspicions are not well founded is shown by the following trial conducted at this station In 1010-11. By the addition of corn silage to a ration of shelled corn and clover hay fed to western lambs, tho rate of gain was increased five per cent, and the ccst of gain decreased ten per cent. Moreover, the selling value of the lambs was increased ten cents per 100 pounds by the addition of the silage to the ration. As a result of these advantages gained by feeding silage there was a difference of 2 l.r. cents per lamb In favor of using corn Filnge as a part of the ration. The value of corn silage Is further emphasized by another trial made where corn, cottonseed meal and clover hay was the basal ration. In this case, there was a saving in cost of gain of 40 cents per 100 pounds and an additional selling price of 15 cents per 100 poundj. In feeding corn silage to lambs, several facts must be borne in mlr.d. Principally among these. It should to remembered that moldy silage Is practically alvays fatal to sheep.

Pushmataha

A Choctaw war party sprawled around their campfire after the battle. That day they had fought fhe "Osago tribe from west of the Mississippi. Each bravo was telling of his own deeds of heroism. Suddenly some one asked what had become of Pushmataha, a lad of twenty, who had marched with them. None had seen him all day. He had vanished just before tho conflict began. Pushmataha wa.? the laughing stock of his tribe. He as forever talking, and this jarred upon the silent natives He was forever boasting, and he had done nothing thus far to warrant his boasts. Now, while his name was still bandied about the campfire, with sneers at his cowardice In shirking the fight, the youth suddenly appeared. A howl of laughter and derision greeted him. "Let him laugh who has slain more foes this day than I," retorted Pushmataha, tossing five scalp3 upon the ground. A Deadly Enemy. He had crept up on the Osages from the rear and, single-handed, had killed as many as had the boldest warrior. For thus making good his boast he received the rank of sub-chief and the Utle of "Eagle." This was In 1783 Not very long afterward Pushmataha went alone by night to a hostile Indian village In the Tonaqua district, slew seven men and burned part of the village to the ground. Threo other Invasions of the enemy's country brought him eight more scalps and new Tame as a warrior. But his reputation was destined to spread throughout the country; not merely as a killer of hostile Indians,

but as the loyal friend of the United j

States. In the war of 1812 many of the Indian tribes joined the British and Inflicted terrible damage on western pioneers and soldiers. Tecumseh had already tried to enlist the Choctaws in a league against the settlers, but had been balked by Pushmataha. The Choctaw "nation" met In a ten-day debate to determine what side to take in tho war with England. They had Just decided to remain neutral, helping neither country, when, at the close of the tenth day, Pushmataha rose and thus addressed the council: "Our fathers grasped the hand of Washington. They vowed to be his people's friends. I cannot be false to their pledge. If our allies, the Creek nation, have sided with the British, we and they must henceforth follow different trails. I am prepared to fight both British and Creeks. I and my own warriors go .now to Tusca

loosa. When you next hear from us the Creek fort there will be in smouldering ruins." Again did Pushmataha make good his boast. For he not only captured and burned the Creek fort at Tuscaloosa, but attacked the Seminole and Creek allies of the British with such fury as to win battle after battle from them. From the government troops he learned the science of military discipline. He applied this learning to his own lawless followers with so firm a hand that ho soon had welded them into a splendid body of soldiers. He incidentally won from frontier officers the nickname of "The Indian General." He led 500 Indians and was In active service throughout the whole war. Most of the time he was under Gen. Andrew Jackson's orders, and he took part in no less than twenty-four fights. When It came to signing a notable treaty between his people and the government in 1S20 he displayed a genius for statesmanship and a shrewd diplomatic wisdom that amazed the president's agents. Gen. Jackson, who himself was noted for sharp diplomacy, is said to have confessed then that in Pushmataha he had met his match at bargain-driving. Ho said later. "Pushmataha is the bravest. greatest Indian I have ever known." Four years afterward another Choctaw treaty was negotiated. This time Pushmataha insisted on coming in person to Washington. He sent word to President Monroe: "I desire to brighten the chains of peace between the Americans and the Choctaws." A Visit of State. So to Washington he came. There he was received with high honors by president and cabinet He visited Gen. Lafayette, saw the sights of civilization and met with an ovation that would have turned the brain of a lesser man. Through it all the stately old Indian preserved his lofty dignity of maner. He allowed none of the bewildering new experiences to amaze or disturb him. He was as one monarch visiting another. . But the visit killed him. He fell ill in Washington, and on Dec. 24. 1824, died there. He knew he was dying. His last request was that he be buried with the honors accorded to officers of high rank and that cannon be fired over his grave. His wishes were carried out in every respect. lie was laid to rest in the Congressional cemetery.

LITTLE RUSE DIDN'T SUCCEED

Billy Caldwell

from sheep eating from a pile of discarded silage containing moldy material. The injurious effect of moldy silage Is so clearly proven that great care must be taken that all parts art free from mold. Another great cause of Injury to

lambs from silage is extreme acidity

of the silage. When the corn is put Into the silo before it has become fairly well matured, undue quantities of acid are formed. Silage containing these large amounts of acid cause derangement of the digestive tracts of the lambs with the final result of a loss of some animals. The corn when put into the silo should have the grains dented one-third and one-half the blades brown. In fact, the corn should be almost ready to put Into the shock hefore it Is ripe enough for good silage for fattening animals. With these precautions, silage Is a very safe feed for fattening lambs. One to two pounds of corn silage In a ration containing clover hay and corn stimulates tho digestion and keeps the lambs In great vigor and robust health and finally returns a handnome profit over a similar flock not receiving the silage.

"Th& Smiganash" was his Indian title. He was better known to red and white men alike as "CapL Billy Caldwell." He was half Pottawatomie, half white. His immediate nationality was even more mixed than his ancestry. On his mother's side he came of the bluest Pottawatomie Indian s.ock. His father was an Irish officer. He was brought up a Frenchman, received a captaincy from the British government, and was a civic official in the United States. First and last, however, by his own choice, he remained an Indian chief. Caldwell was born in 17S0 In Canada. As a child he fell under the wiee, kindly Influence of the Detroit Jesuits. From them he received an excellent education and became master of both the French and English languages In addition to his knowledge of many r.ative Indian dialects. When only a lad he met the great Tecumseh and instantly enrolled himself as that Shawnee spellbinder's admirer and disciple. The two were dear friends until Tecumseh's death. But the Shawnee could never Imbue Caldwell with his bitter hatred against the white men. Although Caldwell proclaimed himself a loyal Indian he could never wholly forget that he was half English. He fought for the British against the United States in the war of 1S12. Rising rapidly in rank he became captain in Great Britain's "Indian department." Though he lived in the United States after the war was over, he never renounced his allegiance to the British crown. He held office under our government, but was proudest of his rank of captain In England's army. Apart from this captaincy, he was also a chief of the Ottawas and the Pottawatomles. The Chicago Massacre. Caldwell Is said by scrme historians to have been fiercest of the Indian assailants at the "Chicago massacre" In 1S12. Others say he refused to take part in the conflict. When the prisoners there who had escaped the hatchets and rifles of the attacking Indians were dragged to an open square for torture and death, Caldwell hurled himself between them and their bloodthirsty captors. By pleas, threats and cajolery ho saved many of the helpless prisoners from tho fate that usually overtook such unfortunates as fell Into hostile Indian hands. Hencefcrth.'Caldwell was known as "the whlto man's friend." This fact

made some of his Indian comrades hate him; and more than one plot was formed for his assassination. Yet, undisturbed by praise or hate, he continued to befriend the settlers and to administer wisely the affairs of his own people. By 1S20 Chicago had become a thriving settlement for what was then known as "the far west." And. leaving the wild life of his people, Caldwell went to Chicago to live as the white man did. This caused still further ill-feeling among the Pottawatomles and Ottawas. But the man's Iron will dominated the situation. Even as -he was half white and half Indian by birth, so he lived among the white townsfolk and at the same time held his rank among the savages. So readily did Caldwell take to the ways of his adopted people and so quickly did he demand the respect and trust of the western pioneers that In 1S2G he was sworn In as a justice of peace. He sat In judgment on countless involved frontier cases where his shrewd common sense and ideas of right more than counterbal actedshls partial ignorance of law. The End of a Career. So many clashes between settlers and Indians did he avert that the government decided to reward him. Accordingly, In 1S2S, the Indian department built for him the first frame house ever erected in Chicago. It was situated near the corner of Chicago avenue and North State street. There Caldwell lived until 1S3G. Then he went back to the Indians of his own tribes and settled with them at Council Bluffs, la. In the meantime the government had presented him with a 1.240 acre tract of land on the north branch of the Chicago river. He sold this for a trifling sum before he turned his back cn civilization. After a lC-year sojourn with white men, the old Sauganash found rough Indian life less to his taste than he had hoped. Yet he stayed with his tribesmen at Council Bluff3 until his death on Sept. 2S. 1841. Billy Caldwell, the Sauganash, had a less melodramatic career than did many other famou3 Indians. Yet ha did more than most of them to help along the cause of progress and civilization In the far west. To him. In great measure, was due the usually peaceful relations between settlers and savages In tho semi-lawless section where he was so feared and boa-

In fact he is an extremist in this feature. He has a six-year-old, redheaded son that didn't Inherit his father's economical disposition. Recently the son was very much In need of a five-cent piece for soda water purposes. He went Into tae diningroom, where he was free from observation, and removed his shoe strings and placed them In his hip pocket for future reference. Returning to the office he approached his father and said: "Pa, give mo a nickel to get me a pair of shoe strings." His father glanced down at his son's shoes, then turning around approached the ofUco safe and opened It in silence. He took out the cash box and raising the lid extracted a pair of new shoe strings which he handed to his son. without a word. The youngster took the string, with a crestfallen air and then to the amusement of the onlookers exclaimed:
