of the world,” said Secretary Mahan.
"I was impressed with the way in
which the farmers, breeders and raanu-
facturers took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to show the world the truth

ers and manufacturers of Oklahoma

world.”
Secretary Mahan Bays music will be
one of the big features of the Okla-
homa Stute Fair this year. In addition

of condition, the walks are In tins

general appearance of 1 lie big tract
which is nothing short of 160 acres of
education and amusement.

Denver Jail.
Denver, Colo.—Deadwood Dick, the
| hero of a thousand dime novels, has J
been languishing in the county Jail at
Denver as a vagrant.
Walter Richard Morrison Is his real j
name, but as Deadwood Dick, his en-
trance on the stage of the world was
to play a leading part In one of tbs
most exciting dramas the west has
ever known. As Walter Richard Mor-
rison his exit In the world Is to play
the lowest part on the stage of the
life as It Is found In every large city
In the country. Recently, however, he
was held as a vagrant In the Denvet
Jail.
His life history Is one full of ro-
mance and pathos. In his younger
days he was one of the men who aided
In the making of the great west. To

of this l would greatly appreciate It.—
orvat C. Whipple, Comanche County.
The following conditions will pro-
duce this trouble:
First, when cream is not frozen hard
enough before taking from the freezer
there will be surplus moisture which
•will not be taken up by the air incor-
porated and this surplus moisture of
water will crystallze out grainy when
the cream Is hardened in the packing
can. A second causo of grainy cream
Is slow bnrdoning In the packing can,
which allows the moisture to sepa-
rate, and later as the hardening Is fin-
ished this water or surplus moisture
crystallzes and causes grainy cream,
A third cause of grainy cream is a
freezing mixture low in butterfat with-
out sufficient filler, In which Instance
there is no filler to take up the water
during the incorporation of the air,
hence the surplus moisture crystallzes

and produces a grainy cream. The best
remedy in tills case is to use both gela-
tine and a powder filler. A fourth
cause of grainy cream is the slow freez- '
ing of a water mixture, in which in-
stance the butter fat may separate
and churn partly while the water
crystnlizes and produces a grainy
cream. A fifth cause of grainy cream
is too rapid freezing of a warm mix-

Davis, okla.—The Oklahoma Fair as-

few days by freight one of the largest
blocks of zinc and lead ore ever before
exhibited. This ore lias reached town
from the Scott Braden company camp,
ten miles west of here, and weighs
more than a ton. It is called "resin

50 per cent metallic zinc. It was
blasted out of an immense ledge about
ten feet from the surface by Col. S. W.

Martinaale Found Guilty
Tulsa, Okla.—Following the decree
of divorce granted to his wife by
Superior Judge M. A. Breckenridge
last week, Judge I). M. Martindale,
nt one time one of the most promi-
atid not sufficient incorporation of air j nent lawyers in Indian Territory, has
to take up the moisture, and the moist- ; been expelled from the Tulsa BAr
Probably the most popular droop-
ing or as they are commonly called
weeping tree in the middle states is
the Teas' weeping mulberry. This
variety of the Russian mulberry was
originated by John C Teas of Missouri
some years ago. It was a sprout of the
more common form of Russian mul-
berry which it resembles in every re-
spect except that the branches droop
instead of growing upright. Like the
original form, is grown readily from
cuttings, in tho form in which it is
commonly seen in our yards the weep-
ing variety has been grafted on tho
upright variety at about the height
of ones shoulder. This is uocessary
because the instinct to droop is so
strong that when cuttings of the weep-
ing variety are planted tho resultant
tree begins to droop as soon us it gets
a few Inches above the ground.
The Teas’ weeping mulberry does |
particularly well if it is pruned back
quite severely each spring. This pre-
vents In a measure the formation of so
many dead branches as otherwise come
from the excessive crowding of tire
lire crystallzes before the butter fat
has hardened sufficiently to aid in in-
corporating the air, which would, of
course, take up the moisture.
You will find that me cream making
is a simple process when once you un-
derstand the principles that influence
the freezing of cream and obtaining
a fine, smooth, velvet finished product.
Ice cream making is an art which
one learns by experience, and differ-
ent mixtures require different treat-
ment. if you will study the above con-
ditions which will cause grainy cream
and apply them in connection with
your every day work you will soon
have mastered that phase of ice cream
making.—R. C. Potts,

mulberry has all the capacity of the
original Russian to withstand drought
and extreme temperatures

investigated the care against Martin-
dale found him guilty of gross unpro
fessional conduct.
Shade Tree Case Appealed
Oklahoma City.—The Norman Mill-
ing and Grain company, which inci-
dentally operates an electric light plant
at Norman, ha. appealed to the su-
preme court, from the judgment of
the district court of Cleveland county,
giving Mrs. E. A. Bethurem $100 dam-
ages because of the damage done to
her shade tvees by linemen of the
company in stringing wires. In her
petition she asked for $600.
HOW TO PLOW DEEP.
Replying to an inquiry as to the
best methods of deepening the furrow i
slice on a five-acre tract of red loam ;
valley land which has never been
plowed more than four Inches deep,
will say that it would not be advisable
to plow this land to a depth of nine
Inches this fall. By so doing you will
expose a layer of soil that will prac-
tically have uo available plant food in
It whatever, and consequently you
would be very much disappointed in
your yields for one or more seasons
to come, if you will gradually deepen
the furrow slice an inch per year and
arrive at the maximum depth in thnt
way you will not be so likely to be
disappointed in your crops, and at the
same time you will also Increase the
water holding area of your land ns well
as increasing the root area for the:
plants.—J. A. Wilson, Director, Okla-
homa Experiment Station, Stillwater. |

KEEP TIME BY THE SUNDIAL
In Beautifying Its Forest Park This
Kansas Town Has Added a
Utility.
Ottawa, Kan.—The big city has no
corner on civic beauty. Nor are pret-
ty parks and Ingenious decorative
schemes confined to estates of landed
gentry. A country town can, and often
does, furnish excellent examples of ar-
tistic treatment of bits of woodland.
Ottawa has no copyrighted system
of boulevards other than Its well paved
streets, but the folks who make their
homes here pride themselves upon
their parks—there are two of them—
City Park and Forest Park.
In Forest Park ther^ are samples
of the ordinary park embellishments,
such as a fountain, cemented fish pond,
lettered flower beds and sanitary
drinking fountains. But the newest
addition is a floral sundial. It is the
town's latest civic pride.
