PUN FIGHT ON CHOLEHU
SALTING BUTTER PROPERLY
When a young man has finished an
agricultural college course, and returns
to take up his work on the old farm,
give him the right hand of fellowship.
More than one bright young man has
been discouraged, and sent away from
the farm, by some old relative or family
friend interfering with his business and
leading the old folks to believe that he
was going wrong. Don't be a kicker
and mud slinger in the neighborhood,
but try to be a helper. You can't throw
mud at the other fellow and keep your
own hand nice and clean. If any young
man deserves help and a kind word, it
is the fellow who has finished a course
In an agricultural college, and comes
home with the intention of making the
old farm home the best place on earth.
Such a young • man needs encourage-
ment. If you can't give him a few kind
words, keep your mouth closed.
The "green bug" pest is appearing
in some sections of the state on oats and
wheat and * chinch bags are reported
from Comanche county but very little
damage has been done to crops by these
insects at this time. The state board
of agriculture and the A. & M. College
would like to* receive reports from farm-
ersj giving detailed information as to
. the extent of damage done to the crops
whenjthe insects visit your community
in order that the state entomologist may
have the insects under control before
• serious ddamage to crops has occurred.
If you have chinch bugs in your com-
munity^r&id carefully the March Press
..Bulletin on treatment to eliminate the
chinch bug. . # >
If you haven't read all the advertise-
ments in this paper you have missed a
lot of good things.
The third legislature, recently ad-
journed, appropriated $7,500 to be ex-
pended by the college in the manufact-
ure and distribution of hog cholera
serum. The Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College has been manufacturing
serum in limited quantities for some
time and this has been used with excell
ent results as a preventative of cholera
in hundreds of communities. The serum
is not a cure.
With the increased funds, available
for serum work, the college is now able
to multiply the output of serum many
times and hopfes by doing this to meet
the expectation of the legislature and
to prrctically stamp out the disease now
so prevalent in Oklahoma. Doses of
serum will be supplied at 20 cents each
and the amount received will be placed
in a revolving fund and reinvested in
the manufacture of serum. By adopt-
ing these plans, the college hopes to
reach all sections of Oklahoma with a
comparatively small appropriation.
Some states have provided large sums
for the campaigns against hog cholera,
which has rendered it unnecessary to
charge applicants for serum sent out.
The present supply of serum manufact-
ured by the college will be quadrupled
within the next thirty days.
The butter should be very thoroughly
washed in the churn, taking care to
keep it in granular form till all the but-
termilk is removed, says the Country
Gentleman. When the butter is taken
on to the worker the salt should be
mixed through it as well as possible,
still keeping it in granular form. Then
allow it to stand for five or ten minutes
for the salt to dissolve; then work till
the salt is diossolved and no grains of
salt can be felt on the tongue when a
morsel is put into the mouth. If the
salt is not all dissolved before the but-
ter is printed it will be mottled. It is
not at all necessary or advisable to
make the salt into a paste. If the but-
ter is washed as described there is al-
ways enough water in it to dissolve the
salt.
NO DEWS IN ALFALFA CASE
Statements sent out from Guthrie to
the effect that the corporation commis-
sion probably would not take jurisdic-
tion in the "lumber trust" cases from
Alfalfa county, and that the hearing set
for May 11 might be called off, are de
nied positively by the commission. • It
is announced that the h arings will be
held on May 11, as scheduled.
Word has been received by the com-
mission from the attorney general tha^
several other lumber companies had ask-
ed to be made parties defendant in this
case, but the commission preferred to
hear and dispose of the Alfalfa county
case on its merits, without the interjec-
tion Of any other issue into the case. *
.Just how far does the kitchen range?
SAW AllllS CI USE MN
G. E. Warren, state factory inspect-
or, who has just returned from a trip
through Southeastern Oklahoma, re-
ports that many of the big saw mills
and planing mills in that section of the
state are closing down on account of the
unfavorable freight rates, which will
not allow them to market their product
at a profit, and many others are running
with short force, resulting altogether
in the throwing of several hundred men
out of employment. The rates are such
that the mills in Louisiana, Arkansas
and Texas have an almost prohibitive
advantage, even to Oklahoma points.
When Sapulpa's magnificent supply
of well water is turned into the mains
direct and it will be possible to go to a
faucet and get a drink of pure water
there will be a different feeling in the
town. At the present time this is pos-
itively dangerous and to take a bath at
this time in the water furnished, is tak-
ing great chances. With a supply that
seems almost inexhaustible it is hard to
see why anyone should object to such
an arrangement. It will be cheaper,
better and more permanent than any
other way, then why not have it. Three-
fourths of the taxpayers are in favor of
it, and as they pay the freight, there
hould be no great object ion.
Give us good pure well water and the
very thing that has caused the city to
be at a standstill will help it to go forth
at leaps and bounds.
Remove flower stalks that come on
rhubarb plants. Seed growing is weak-
ening to the plants.
