they must do the work In a certain

have the ground prepared and tlm
crop planted within a certain lime or
they are too late, and when It I* all
figured out there Is not a crop that
they can put out that will cost them
as much ready cash as a wheat crop:
they don't seem to ever consider that '
they can raise corn, oats, millet, al-
falfa. barley or rye at as little or less |
expense a- they can wheat, nor do
they ever figure the cost of getting I
the wheat to market and the differ-
ence between the co»t of shipping
the crop directly to market and the]
cost of shipping it after being fed to
cattle or hogs.
"There Is but one way whereby
farming will pay, and that Is to put
as much of your crop as jxissihle in
hogs and cattle and then ship it to
the nearest market; In fact, it Is the
only way the farmer can expect to
succeed: freights are necessarily high
In this part of the country: we are a
long way from market, and the only
way we can ever get around it Is to
eondense it ler using our grain to make
I beef and i>ork and then send it to
market.

The Old Reliable
Gito Hotel,
A whiter in comparing the relative
success of merchants and farmers,
says: "We are continually meeting
with people who sold out farms to go
into business, only to wish them-
selves back in th slow but sure way
of agriculture. A higher appreciation
of farming as an occupation by all
classes of society, and a more vigorous
prosecution of it as the only substan-
tial basis of prosperity will be the
outcome of the world's experiment of
commercial depression; and so, that
which effects other callings unfavor-
ably will be actually Icneiicial to this
one by disclosing its immovable sta-
bility and the depend'-nce of every-
thing else upon i*. We survey our
broad acres with their illiniitcd re-
sources and rejoice to think wo have
j a safe investment in a hank of earth
which will never break nor cease
declaring dividends from now till the
end of time.”
This is what a Texas liar can do
with a little assistance: During
D. C. BALLARD, Prop'r,

a little assistance: miring a
heavy thunder, rain nnd hail storm
in the northern part of the state, the
fence posts were driven so far into
tiie ground that the holes were easterl
and used for tublar wells. The rain
was so heavy that it caused a muddy
flood to flow down Red river. The
costs to handle a wh sit crop lam of
the opinion that they had better try
mixed fanning, and if they fail on
wheat they will at least have some-
thing left to prepare tlielr stock for
market.
"The lessons learned in Kansas by
the wheat raisers ought to he of some
benefit to the same men who have
located in Oklahoma; my advice
would be to those who have located
there: don't run the whole farm into
wheat; it will be the worst tiling you
ran do: take warning from what lias
been done bv the Kansas farmer and
don't be caught in the same trap:
don't be like the Kansas farmer was
when all he had was a wheat crop and
it was a failure and he had to rely ori
his winter pasture to get lii< stock
through the winter and nothing to
sell to get the necessaries for his
family: the present indications are
Lhal tin- Oklahoma farmer i' bent on
following in the footsteps of the Kan-
sas farrier in this particular, and
will next fall put everything in wheat
that he can get ready for seeding:
don't do it: try and mix your crops
j and if one fails then you will have
another to fall back on; there never
was. and probably never will be, a
farmer who will succeed if lie confines
liiriis, if to one kind of crops; there
never was. and probably never will be,
a farmer who will become independent
who do"' not adapt the plan of mixed
farming: it will not do to be at the
| mercy of one crop; it may pay for a
: few years, but it is only a question of
! time when you will get badly left If
you are in the line with those who
| are in tlie one-crop business: it some-
time- only takes a few days to spoil a
wheat crop, when at the same time it
| lias been fully demonstrated that
there are other crop- that can go
through the same trying period and
