To The F. K. and 0 U . of A of Oharokee
County
Brothers: It is with hesitation ami
ranch diffidence, that I aguiu attempt
to edit this pai;e. It is not clear to ray
mind that the lieuefit I iutended in the
past was gained by the farmer. As
there is considerable trouble aud labor
to do this work, i would like to know
if there is anything that the;farmer
can gain from it The proprietors of the
Arrow luade the request that I again
take up the task, and after consulta-
tion with President Ross Dan
iels and M. A Beaue Sect'y. of the
Conuty Union, I have consented to do
so. I shall attempt to write upon such
topics that will directly interest and be
of benefit to those who till the soil, and
as before there will be no partisan
politics or doctrinal creeds allowed to
enter it, though good government and
morality for the general good will l>e
tit subjects for this page. I again call
upon the secretaries of the different
locals, the meuiliership, the county ofti
cers and all good farmers for any ami
all news, ideas, experiments, conditions,
views and results, pertaining to the
farmers and bearing upon farm life in
Cherokee county. This work is of no
monetary value to me, and my sole re-
ward will be in the fact that I have
attracted the attention, and have been
of some good to the farmer, if I fail in
this I shall consider my work useless
and in vain. 1 am attempting to have
my name placed upon the mailing list
)f the Agricultural Bureau at Wash
ngton, D. , and the U. S. experi-
ment station at Stillwater, Okla , so
that I will have the benefit of bulletins
issued l y the aliove departments. If
anyone, farmers or not, has anything in
ihe way of farm items I would be
pleased to get them. It matters not
whether they are written or suggested,
they will be welcome. I invite the
assistance of all those who take au in
terest in the improvements of the farm
■id well-being of the farmer.
Fraternally,

crying need of all eastern Oklu
for winter stock

The quotations were 50 [ier bu , with
no visible supply. If some euterprisiug
farmer of our locality would plant a
large areage in this wouderful pea and
furnish himself with a thresher he
would undoubtedly dispose of all his
crop at good prices, ami lie a benefactor
to his fellow farmers.
There is great complaint each year
of hogs dying in great number* through-
out < herokee county, as nearly all
hogs in this vicinity run at larg->. and
in consequence receive but little, or no
attention >ill fateuing time, the owner
has no meaus of learning the name of
the desease that killn his hogs. It is a
possible chance that if hogs wete ex
amined about the time they were dying,
they would lie found to lie covered with
lice. A great many hogs die, not with
cholera or worms, as is often supposed,
but of lice, and a close inspection would
lie worth while.

The law of supply aud demand legu
lates the price of cotton, in the same
proposition that a palm leaf fan regit
lates the direction of the trade winds
At one time the cotton grower believed
the fallacy, but the union has taught
hi in lietter knowledge of how the prices
are fixed. It is so that the law of sup
ply and demand does really fix the price
of cotton, then why on some days,
which is nearly all days, that cotton is
one price in Liverpool, another in New
York, aud still another iu New Orleans,
and that without regard t*> the differ
ence of freight charges? The hocus
poem of the cotton speculators fix the
price on the farmers cotton.

While iu McIntosh county last win-
ter, the writer was told by one of the
good old union brothers that his fruit
trees were proof against ali kinds of
deceases and insects. Au intinerant
came to the neighborhood with some
decoction that he doctored the trees
with by boring a hole in the tree, aud
filling the hole with the stuff aud then
stepping the hole. If the tree did not
die from that kind of treatment it is a
w. nder. The man who imposes upon
a fruit grower by such methods, should
be arrested and put to work on the
public roads, he is a faker, pure and
simple. His work would not, nor
could not do what he professed it would,
but on the other hand it would result
in great injury to the tree.

FOR SAFETY IN THE SCHOOLS
European Schemes Intended to Guard
Against Disaster.
How to guard against disaster In
schools in case of fire Is a subject
which is receiving much attention In
the large cities of Europe. Some of
the preventive measures suggested by
orrespondents of a Vienna paper
make Interesting rending for Anierl
ans. One man writes that in one of
the small towns in Bohemia the
school sessions are held In two old
buildings which were once residences
By an Iron door one may go from one
building to the other, and In caBe of
In one honse the children have
but to go to this door and find safety
In the building in which there is no
fire. This plan should be adopted,
he says, for all the city schools. "They
usually stand among dwelllug houses,
and from each there should be au ex
it to the house next door. That would
make the schools safe and prevent
panics." Another man writes that the
expense of placing new doors on the
schools to prevent a catastrophe
woudld cost too much. "All danger
could be obviated," he says, "by leav-
ing the doors to the street wide open
while the schools are in session." No
correspondent suggested Are escapes.

Rev. William Carter discussed at a
dinner in New York his successful ex-
periment of conducting services in the
Belasco theater. "One of my theater
auditors," he said, "was a Scot from
Peebles. This Scot told me that the
sight of a clergyman in a theater re-
minded h'.oi of an experience he once
had In London. He went to a melo-
drama at Drury Lane. A man in front
of him looked familiar. To his sur-
prise he recognized in this man his
minister at Peebles. He leaned for-
ward and laid his hand ou the minis-
ter's black coat. 'Oh, Dr. Saunders
McIntosh,' he whispered, 'what wad
the people In the auld kirk say if 1
tell't them 1 saw ye here?' 'Deed,
they wadna believe ye,' Dr. Saunders
answered quickly, and ye needna tell
them.'"
The Waist Came Back.
"The other day l hung my prettleat j
waist out on the line at the kitchen .
window," sal." the flat dweller, "after '
I washed it. Then 1 forgot all about
I' and when 1 went to look for it two
days later It was gone. I rushed
frantically down to the janltress, and
we climbed together over the coal Into
the area to look for the waist. I la
mented deeply. It was a beautiful
waist. We couldn't find It The jani-
tor came from the next house and
helped us look, but there was nothing
loing. I came sadly in at the window
back over the coal and ascended to my
sixth story flat.
"The next day 1 looked In the draw-
er of my chiffonier and found the
waist there Say anything to the jan-
ltress? Well. 1 reckon not."

Moth a Hypnotist.
'Did you ever know," said the
hypnotist, as he played with a curious
glittering hypnotizing machine of
crystal and silver, "did you ever know
that hypnotism is practiced among in
sects?
'Well, It Is a fact. A queen bee
cau hypnotize her whole hive when
ever she wants to. She makes a curi-
ous humming sound, and within a mo
ment or two every bee in the colony
falls into a hypnotic trance.
"The death's head hawk moth is
also a hypnotist of great power. This
creature, indeed, makes its living out
of hypnotism. Entering a hive, it
makes a sound not unlike the queen
bee's note, and the bees Immediately
sinking into slumber, the moth pro-
ceeds to plunder at its leisure."

Difficult subjects require careful
handling, and for this reason a room
clerk at a woman's hotel must have
special qualifications, says a New
York letter. One of the many appli-
cants to approach a clerk of th«s class
was a young, prepossessing woman
who, a few days ago, walked to the
desk and hesitatingly asked If a room
could be had at moderate price.
"Would you like a room at a dollar
and a half a day?" With a startled
look she replied, ' i want one at three
dollars a week " "We have rooms at
that price, but none vacant. You can
see that the office is full of guests,
and It Is not probable that we shall
have such a room as you desire until
one of our guests dies—or gets mar-
ried." Sweeping the office with her
