How To Lift the Oklahoma
Farm Mortgage
"Honesty, industry, economy,
| unity of purpose in family, love of
| farm, intelligent management and
persistent determination to lift the
mortgage will succeed.
"Incur no bills, make poultry,
dairy, orchard, garden and other
home produced products provide
living.
"Increase productiveness by in-
tensive farming, early deep plowing
manuring, killing weeds and grow-
ing legumes.
Prepare proper seed bed. Se-
lect seed, grade, test, plant, culti-
vate . and harvest—properly anil
timely. Conform to Oklahoma
climatic conditions instead of try-
ing to make these conditions con-
form to your methods.
"Avoid depending on one crop.
Raise varieties of crops and live
stock best adapted for particular
farm and farmer—generally; some
wheat, cotton or broom-corn—for
cash; corn on proven corn lands
only; alfalfa where profitable; katir,
feterita, milomaize, oats, sorghums
and cowpeas on hard uplands, pea-
nuts and Bermuda on sandy soils.
All will not fail.
"Make stock raising your object.
Raise sufficient best obtainable
grade to consume all feed. Watch
markets. Obtain best prices.
'Provide barn, silo and tool shel-
ter.
".Study Oklahoma farm papers,
learning and applying successful
methods.
"Carry sufficient property and life
insurance.
"Observe rules of health. Be
optimistic.
"Give children vocational educa-
tion. Provide good literature, mu-
sic and home socials instead of
more expensive entertainments."—

Pleases Customers
Sherman & Sherman report cus-
tomers greatly pleased with the
QUICK action of simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in
I Adlerika. This simple remedy
drains the old foul matter from the
bowels so THOROUGH that ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost any
I case of constipation, sour or gassy
stomach. It is so powerful that Nt
is used successfully in appendicitis.
Ailler-i-ka never gripes and the IN-
STANT action is surprising.
What the Farm Woman Needs
What the farm woman needs, if
anything, is appreciation. Her
husband and children and neigh-
bors have taken her as a matter of
fact, and often do not consider her
I wonderful influence for good nor
her usefulness, until it is too late,
j When she lies down and dies her
husband realizes what she was to
j him. He sees the many things un-
done that were scarcely noticeable
i under her administration, she did
j them so kindly, so gently and so
modestly.
What the farm woman needs,
I says the Oklahoma Farmer, is to
be appreciated, to be loved and
honored for her virtues. She is the
mainstay of our civilation. the
counselor and moral support of her
husband, and the whole dependence
of her children.

PURCELL, OKLAHOMA
Busy On the Pipe Line
Tents, several of them, have been
pitched on the Moranda King place
southeast of here, to serve as eating
| and sleeping quarters for the large
J number of men who are employed
in the construction of the McMann
pipe line between Cushing and
Gainesville. The work is going
right along.
Tuesday of last week a gang of
men were put to work on the west
side of the Cunadiah river at the
points where the line is to cross,
about three miles south of here.
Men were working iu the water all
daj Tuesday and pipe laying was
fast. Eeignteen teams are hauling
from the Santa Fe, making two to
three trips a day and hauling two
to five joints of the pipe. Each
joint weighs about 700 pounds but
the way the roads have been heavy
loads are impossible.
Head and commissary offices are
maintained 011 the King place,
three miles from the river and will
be until a point three miles north
of there is reached when il will be
moved six miles northeast, Ure-
ceries and other supplies are being
sold the company by the Purcell
Wholesale Grocery.
About three quarters of a mile
of pipe is considered a good days
work, and even with the rainy
weather prevailing the past few
days the men have been putting in
About half a mile. The pipe is
laid in a trench two feet wide and
deep enough to bury the pipe. I'ipe
haulers are paid by the joint, $1.00
per joint, while the ditchmeu are
paid 40 cents per joint. The men
are split up into seven or eight dif-
ferent gangs each having a special
part to do in the work. They have
been coming in daily until now the
camp maintained has grown to
over a hundred men. Several local
men are working.
The men in charge say they will
be in this vicinity about three
weeks. '
Buy Good Dairy Cows
If you wish to follow dairying and
obtain from it as much as you
should, says Henry Hatch in the
Oklahoma Farmer, by all means
get rid of every cow 011 the place
that can only be called "just a cow"
and get in her place "a real dairy
cow." You will make as much
in six weeks as you would make
from the common cow in two
months or more, leaving two weeks
of milking as extra profit over what
you are gelling now. Or, to put il
in another way, you can save two
weeks of feeding in every eight. I j
know this to be a fact from person-
al experience. A good many who
are now milking common cows ex-
cuse their negligence along this line
by saying, "1 may not keep at
dairying very long, and should I
ijuit I would still have a beef herd
to raise my beef stock." 1 know a
farmer who has been making this,
excuse for the past ten years, and
he is still dairying, if milking a
poor strain of dairy cows could be
so designated.
In recent years dairying has
greatly increased in Oklahoma. In
seasons of short crops, farm folks]
have found the cream check a great
saver of the bank account, a pur-
chaser of the actual necessities of
life, and in not a few cases enough ;
lias been left to purchase luxuries
after the necessities have been pro-
vided. More and more, the thrifty,
well-to-do class of farmers, not only
of Oklahoma but of the west in
general, are turning to dairying as
a sure source of profitable income.
