prospecting for oil. One company is
capitalized at 8250,000. They are loca-
ting north of Lawton near Richards, and
also east of Fort Sill, and northwest of
Lawton. Several oil filings have been
made on claims near Richards. Res-
ponsible parties claim that oil in pay-
ing quantities has been discovered.
The Times-Journal puts it this way:
"A short time ago a southern paper
roasted the planters of its state for al-
lowing Oklahoma to take the world's
premium on cotton. The paper grew
sarcastic because a negro had been al-
lowed to capture the Paris medal and
that, too, on cotton grown away up in
Oklahoma where it was supposed cot-
ton would not grow. The surprise of
the cotton growers was matched when
the wheat growers saw Oklahoma walk
off witii the gold medals for best flour
and wheat. In Oklahoma what injures
one crop helps another and crops jre so
diversified that failures are unknown.

press car was badly wrecked, and its
safe blown open. Only 81.50 was found
in it. The robbers went through every
mail sack. They thpn forced the pas-
sengers to throw their valuables into a
sack. Al>out 8400 in money was taken
besides watches and jewelry. When
the operator at Caney heard the shoot-
ing he put out his lights and wired to
Atoka. This brought a posse with
blood hounds. Six men were caught
and two mounted men got safely away.
There was but little loss of registered
mail.
The section about Muldrow is said to

of corn and a good cotton crop.
The territorial prisoners in the peni-
tentiary at Lansing. Kan., have pre-
sented Governor Jenkins with a hand-
some parlor table made by them and
the work is a marvelous piece of con-
struction. The material is of different
kinds of wood, and the whole is so com-
plete that the joints can hardly be dis-
covered.

waiting at the switch t« let his train go
out but it was delayed and he sat down
with his arm on the rail. Having been
on duty for 36 hours he fell asleep.
Not:s on Chicago's Milk Supply.
The Chicago Milk Inspection Depart-
ment has taken a new method of stop-
ping watering of milk and the use of
preservatives. Last week they decided
to publish the names of all the milk
dealers whose milk is found below
grade or to contain any kind of a pre-
servative. The first day four names
appeared on the bulletin board, and by
the end of the week they had increased
to about 30. The reporters for the dally
papers take the lists from the boards
and they appear In the next edition of
the Chicago papers. The milkmen
whose names appear In these lists are
very angry at the new move of the
inspectors but their wrath appears to
have no effect on the men in the city
hall. The publication of the names
cannot help but be effective.
• • •
The hint by wfolch the Chicago In-
spectors were led to adopt the publica-
tion policy doubtless came from the
fate of the Producers' Pure Milk Com-
pany. As some of our readers will re-
member, that company was supplying
mliK to the Cook County poor farm,
located at Dunning. The company bad
a contract by which they were to sup-
ply a certain amount of milk dally to
that institution, said milk to have In it
at least three per cent of fat and to
contain po preservative. The chemist
connected with the Chicago Milk In-
spection Department analyzed some of
the milk and found It to be below
grade in fat content and also to con-
tain formalin. The matter was report-
ed to the Board of Commissioners of
Cook County, and the Board annulled
the contract for supplying milk to the
Institution at Dunning. The daily pa-
pers published a full report of the anal-
yses and tlie action of the commis-
sioners, and those reports were read
by the customers of the Producers'
Pure Milk Supply Company In Chicago.
At the time of the revelations as to
the milk the company was running
nine large wagons and doing an Im-
mense business. Within a week they
were bankrupt, as the result of the
publication of the facts relative to the
kind of milk they had been serving.
Their customers quitted them en masse
and they were unable to get new
ones. The fines of $100 for each viola-
tion of the city ordinances was a
small affair compared to the disaster
that followed publication. This is the
strongest factor in securing pure food
for the public. If the pure food com-
missions will simply publish their find-
ings there will be little adulteration
and little manufacture of goods below
grade.
• • •
H. B. Farmer, secretary of the Chi-
cago Milk Shippers' Association, in-
forms the Farmers' Review that milk
Is shorter in supply at this time than
he has ever before known it to be.
This is due to the fact that the drouth
has cut short the pastures and the
farmers in the sections that supply
milk to Chicago rely on the pastures
exclusively at this time of year. Some
of them grow fodder crops that are In
' a condition to feed during the latter
part of August and first part of Sep-
tember, but none have extra fodder
crops available at this time of year.
He says that a few silos are in exist-
ence, but all of these are for winter
feeding and none of them have yet
been used for holding silage over for
summer feeding. The lack of fodder
crops means an immense loss. There
are fodder crops, such as rape, that
might be of a size to feed by the mid-
dle of July, and in fact fodder corn
can be available at this time. This is
proven by the fact that all along the
shore of Lake Michigan, in Illinois,
the corn planted for fodder Is now of
a size suitable to be cut for the use of
cattle.
L-
cattle and sheep and a heavy run of
sheep and as average run of cattle is
expected.
Cattlemen expect tu market a larger
per cent of their cattle as beef than
usual, owing to the good feed that has
prevailed in nearly all sections. Owing
to the general favorable conditions of
the beef market, range prices are hold-
ing steady and cattlemen are looking
for steady prices in the fall at about an
average with last year. The strong de-
mand on the Pacific coast for all kinds
of stock has diverted many cattle in
that direction that usually come east
The movement in this direction will
continue this fall and is caused bv the
Increased home and Asiatic demand for
meats. This Is particularly true of
Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Arizona and
western Wyoming. Quite a number of
Montana cattle, mostly fat stuff, have
also gone west Instead of east, to mar-
ket, and more will go in the fall. The
movement of horses is unusually large
owing to the generally remunerative
prices prevailing in the east, and the
ranges are being cleaned up of many
bands which only a few years ago
were considered worthless and a nui-
sance.
The situation in the corn states of
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys is
too uncertain at this time to enable a
prediction as to the feeder demand in
the fall. According to reports received
at this office, the number of cattle on
summer feed is very much lighter than
usual and the markets will be com-
pelled to depend to a certain extent
upon grass cattle. There are an un-
usual number of cattle on pasture in
Kansas and Nebraska and grass con-
ditions are reported to be very good in
most sections, although the late warm
wave has threatened the situation
somewhat
A feature of the western range Situ-
ation has been the large demand for
pure bred and high grade bulls and
rams. This demand seems to be satis-
factorily increasing, and as the western
range man usually desires this class of
animals In carload lots and prefers
them already acclimated, it may be
said that the demand is coming prin-
cipally from ranchmen who are putting
in pure bred herds for the purpose of
breeding the stock needed on the
ranch. This accounts for the unusual
demand for female stock. The western
range breeder realizes thoroughly now
that he must breed a first-class grade
of beef cattle and mutton in order to
compete with the small ranchman, and
plans are being made to accommodate
this demand on a liberal scale.
The outlook for the live stock busi-
ness on the whole is good. While much
depends upon the growing crops of
corn and hay, stockmen are not look-
ing for any advance in stockers and
feeders, but they do anticipate a steady
market at about last year's figures.
Should the corn crop be unusually
large these prices will be much firmer,
but should it fall short they will ex-
pect to take something off the present
prices.—C. F. Martin. Secretary.
. Live Stock Conditions.
Semi-annual reports received by the
Secretary of ihe National Live Stock
Association from all western states
and territories regarding conditions of
the live stock Industry on the range.
Indicate a most prosperous year for
the industry as a whole. The winter
losses were lighter than for many
years, but heavy spring storms in
some sections caused about the usual
spring losses, but the average will not
reach over three per cent. Many sec-
tions report losses from predatory wild
animals greater than usual, showing
that this pest must soon be met in
some way. Another cause of loss has
been thieves, who have been unusual-
ly bold and successful during the last
few months, especially on the horse
ranches. Reports from round-ups
show an average above the usual calf
crop. At the present time the only
sections threatened with drouth are
southern and eastern New Mexico and
southern Arizona. There is still time,
however, for summer rains to relieve
these conditions. The northern half of
Montana and western North and South
Dakota suffered from late spring and
' drouth, but these conditions have late-
ly been relieved and the range feed,
though late, was never better. There
has been a large movement of 6tock
cattle from the southwestern to north-
ern ranges, approximating 1,50,000
head. The movement of western cat-
tle has been very much lighter than
usual, being principally from Pacific
coast states to Montana and Wyoming.
Many sections report the range badly
crowded and early in the spring there
were many clashes between sheep and
cattle owners for possession of the
range, but the good rains and conse-
quent Improvement of the feed on the
range has temporarily relieved this
condition. Prospects are considered
good for a heavy movement of western
range grass cattle commencing about a
month earlier than usual and probably
continuing late Into the fall. Prices on
stock cattle have been from |1.50 to
$2.50 per head lower than last year.
Strictly high grade cattle are steady
with a year ago and in demand
The sheep situation is not so satis-
factory. Reports all indicate a general
I expectation of lower prices, due to the
crowded condition of the ranges and
the absolute necessity of reducing the
flocks to lit the range conditions. The
lamb crop has been unusually heavy,
owing to the mild winter and favoralno
weather at lambing time. The movi-
ment from the range to market will
commence earlier than usual on both

about the far west and the great mid-

ing up this country, earning fortunes
which go Into the pockets of the mul-

rope with the most formidable of trade
rivalries. Taken in the mass, they
seem poorly educated—far more poor-
ly than the women. Their manners,
to a sensitive Frenchman or a cultured
Englishman, are the reverse of pre-

ungraceful, they are often awkward.
But they are good tempered, without
affectation, and in most practical mat-

A WARNING TO PREACHERS.
Note* on Hortlculln -e.
There has been a sharp controversy
between Professor Stedman of the
Missouri Experiment Station and Pro-
fessor Slingerland of the Cornell Ex-
periment Station relative to the pro-
tection of peach trees from borers.
Both have been carrying on experi-
ments for some years, and the results
reached are contradictory. In Mis-
souri Professor Stedman says the at-
tempts to us6 coal tar for the protec-
tion of the trees has resulted In every
case In the destruction of the trees in
place of destroying the borers. This,
he says, was the result not only on
peach trees but also on apple, plum,
apricot, pear and some shade trees.
Other Missouri orchardists have tried
it and report their trees killed also.
He suggests that it may be due to the
Missouri tar being of a different na-
ture from the coal or gas tar in New
York. Thereupon the New York pro-
fessor told him to send along some of
his Missouri tar. Of application
Professor Slingerland says: "We made
the application on June 29, 1900. The
Missouri tar we used was not so thick
as the New York tar, hence it was
more easily applied with a brush and
a thinner coating on the bark resulted.
It dried out sooner and was not sticky
so long. Thirty-four trees were treat-
ed, six of which had been treated each
year for three years previously with
New York tar. The Missouri gas tar
kept out all the borers but one and it
did not injure the trees in the least.
Gas or coal tar Is the most effective
application we have ever used to keep
out the peach tree borer." (The Farm-
ers' Review suggests at this point that
before any of its readers try this
remedy they had better send for bul-
letin 176 of the Cornell station, Ithaca,
New York, and read the details of coal
tar application). There Is another
point on which the two professors dis-
agree and that is the use of wire and
veneer protectors for the trees. Pro-
fessor Stedman has invented a wire
and p. veneer protector which he thinks
he has proved to be perfect protectors
against the borers. The Cornell pro-
fessor says that he tried them and
found the wire protector of no value
whatever and the veneer protector to
be no better than common tarred pa-
per, which may be purchased at a frac-
tion of the cost of the veneer protector.
We will confess that we are unable
to say why experimenters in two
states should get such contradictory
results.

The present reports of the loss of
raspberries and other fruits due to ex-
cessive dryness leads to the remark
that Irrigation, where it can be carried
on successfully, Is profitable even in
a country of rain. The question is
asked, "What is the good of spring
rains and a perfect development of
foliage and fruit, If, just when the
fruit is ripening, the drouth becomes
so severe that the entire crop Is lost?
Would it not be just as well if the
said crops were grown in an arid coun-
try? The experience of some of our
large institutions in growing vege-
tables under irrigation points to the
fact that irrigation !s not every year
a necessity, but It always Is an insur-
ance of a crop.

"I thought it would be easy enough
to convert the lay people of the town,
but realized, of course, that the min-
isters would be a harder task. I re-
member one of the first sermons I
preached with that Idea before me. It
was a hot summer day. and a gentle-
man very much under the influence of
liquor slid into the rear part of the
church and went to sleep. It was
somewhat disquieting at first, but I
soon warmed up to the subject and
forgot him. What happened has al-
ways been a warning to me against
very loud preaching—I waked him
up. My vehemence so disturbed him
that he arose, walked unsteadily up
the aisle, and stopped in front of the
pulpit. I was dreadfully embarrassed,
I remember, but I retained sufficient
presence of mind to take what I
thought was an efficient and brilliant
means of bridging over the gap, for,
of course. I had stopped preaching
when he stood still and looked at me.
Leaning over the pulpit I .emarked
suavely: " 'I perceive that my good
.brother is 111. Will some ' "Be-
fore any one could move, however, he
lifted his head, and, fixing his blink-
ing eyes upon me, remarked in per-
fectly distinct tones heard throughout
the church: " I sh'd think such

Mexican Women Make Good Wives.
The women of Mexico, as a rule,
make docile and trustworthy wives,
.deferring to the husband in matters
which the American woman would set-
tle herself. The women among the
masses possess only the charm of ex-
treme simplicity In dress and the
healthy, unrestrained beauty of figures
that have never known a corset. They
are well developed, as a rule, having
round limbs, fine busts and long,
abundant hair. Many of the faces are
beautiful in youth, but they age ear-
lier than their white slaters do, either
becoming obese and coarse, or shrivel-
ing with the loss of the plumpness
which once made then attractive.
They might have stepped out of the
pictures of Bible times, with their
plainly made cotton gowns and their

Liquids at meals, if taken too often
or too carelessly, are liable to dilute
the gastric juices. Take no liquid of
any kind when food is in the mouth.
Take as little as possible till the close
of the meal. The digestive agents
themselves being fluids, it is reason-
able to suppose that an excess of
liquids taken with the food will have
a tendency to dilute and thereby
weaken the digestive juices.—Lodics'
Home Journal.
Prisoner* Handled Like Llventoct
The English have originated a new
scheme for sending prisoners aboard
at. Port Natal. The Boers are swung
on to the ship in a suspended basket
operated by a crane. The captives
have expressed disgust at being swung
aboard like livestock, but tbelr pro-
tests are of no avail.
