The practice of letting animals run
In orchards is not considered by ex-
perienced fruit growers to be a good
one. There are many exceptions, how-
ever. I have known instances where
horses ran in orchards for some time
and did little or no damage. They
may eat a few leaves, but generally
confine themselves to grazing under
the trees. Cattle are more apt to
cause damage, particularly by horning
the branches, and they will eat more
Organization of the broom corn
growers over the state has been start-
ed by the National Broom Corn Grow-
ers' association, recently incorporated
in Oklahoma City. The association
first was formed in Roger Mills county
where it has 400 members and organ-
izers now are at work in all north-
western Oklahoma counties. Organl
zatlon of Grady and Caddo counties
will be started in the near future.
The purpose of the association is to
eliminate the speculator in the mar-
keting of the broom corn crop and
thus secure control of the market for
the growers. In the past it is said
that the speculator has kept the price
down for the grower and the crop has
not been financially remunerative to
the Oklahoma farmers.
L. L. Combs of Goodman, Missouri,
who directed the organization last
year of the Colorado wheat growers, is
in charge of the work as national or-
ganizer and he probably will be made

Sheep and pigs should never be al-
lowed in an orchard, in my estimation,
although I have known good fruit rais-
ers to disagree with me.
The whole question of the damage
done by animals to the trees depends
upon how the animals are fed. Ani-
mals which are highly fed; that is,
given grain ration, may live in among
trees almost indefinitely and will not
bother the trees much, if any. Ani-
mals which are quite hungry, and par-
ticularly animals which have been
kept in the barn without green feed
for some time, will chew many of the
twigs—and even the bark—off the
trees.
I once knew a flock of sheep to By use s"° an^ harvesting

Buch flocks of sheep would have
brought on the market, yet they had
grazed on the same orchard the pre-
vious summer without doing any dam-
age. This was in an eastern state
where it is quite common to have the
orchards growing in sod. The culti-
vated orchard in the State of Okla-
homa—and orchards in the state
Bhould be cultivated—will offer noth-
ing to stock that stock will care for
and that they ought to have. There
is little or no nutrition in tree leaves,
tree twigs, or tree bark. You do not
get much out of orchard grazing, and
you may lose a great deal.—N. O.

ment Station, Stillwater.
mated that 60 per cent of the feeding
value of the corn plant is In the ear
of corn and 40 per cent is in the stalk.
If a field of corn which would make
forty bushels per acre is harvested in
the usual way of gathering the corn,
and leaving the stalk stand, we have
harvested only 60 per cent of the corn.
The forty bushels of corn at 50 cents
per bushel is worth $20.00, but if the
stalks have two-thirds the feeding
value of the grain, the stalks are worth
from $10.00 to $12.00 or $15.00 per
acre, depending upon the quality of
the crop and the condition they are in
when harvested for silage.
If the stalks are left in the field
they have a feeding value of from
$1.00 to $1.50 or $2.50 per acre. This
decreased value of the corn stalk when
left in the field Is due ta the fact that
when the stalk is left standing it loses
its moisture and the fiber becomes
hard, woody and indigestible. It is
therefore evident that to obtain the
maximum feeding value of the corn

corn, kafir corn, milo, June corn and
the sorghums. In making silage from
Indian corn or kafir corn the plant
Bhould be cut at ti, t stage when the
kernel of corn or grain is in the
etarchy, hardening or glazing stage.
The lower leaves will be turning
Ijrown and the upper leaves will still
be green, the stalk soft and full of
Tich juices.
The corn should be planted in rows
and cut with a corn binder. The
bundles should be loaded onto a flat
■wagon and hauled to the silo to be
run through an ensilage cutter and
cut into pieces about one-half inch in
length. The blower or carier elevator
carries the cut corn into the silo.
If the corn should become too dry
before it Is put into tTle silo, water
should be added. This can be done
water some four or sis feet above uio
ensilage cutter, and with a one-half-
inch pipe with a valve for regulating
the flow of water, the proper amount
of water can be added to the corn as
It is cut into shorter pieces. It is
necessary that this water be added In
,order that the silage may be sufficient-
ly wet so that it will settle properly
and the dry stalks may be softened so
they will pack. This moisture also
assists in excluding the air, thereby
aiding in the preservation of the
silage.
The secret of silage making is prac-
tically the secret of canning fruit.
During the process of filling, two men
should level the silage out against the
inside wall and tramp it down solidly.
If sufficient moisture is added and the
silage is properly tramped against the
inside wall, which should be airtight
and practically impervious to both
air and moisture, there should be little
(difficulty in making good silage.
Beaver County Man Has Practical
Proof of Value of Kafir.
Kafir has become as popular as it is
reliable. While a few raisers of this
crop feel hostile toward it, by reason
of the low price of the grain, those
who feed kafir to cattle, hogs and
poultry are loud in praise of the kafir,
which grows in dry times, and ma-
tures regardless of climatic conditions.
Some farmers in Oklahoma sold
kafir last fall at 35 cents a bushel,
and complained a little that the price
was unprofitable. Other farmers fed
great quantities of kafir, both as silage
and as grain, and enthusiastically an-
nounce that the kafir netted 70 cents
a bushel.
From the Guymon Democrat, pub-
lished in the northwestern part of the
state, where kafir is making farmers
rich, we learn that J. H. Criswell of
Beaver county, recently marketed sev-
eral carloads of cattle at $8.40 per
hundred, the animals having been pre-
pared for market with kafir.
This stockraiser is emphatic in his
statement that cattle and kafir form
a combination that assures a regular
income to the Oklahoma farmer.
Raise kafir; then raise more kafir.
But don't sell it; FEED IT.
Judges For County Fairs.
All state, county and local fair asso-
ciations in Oklahoma that desire ex-
pert services in judging livestock, farm
crops and home economic exhibits,
will be supplied from the A. & M.
College staff of experts, providing such
services are requested. More than
fifty such fairs received assistance
last summer and fall in this way. The
College is now better equipped to fur-
nish expert service than ever before.
Mr. Pozozzle Has Found Out That
Occasionally Smartnes Does
Not Pay.
"Yesterday," said Mr. Pozozzle rue-
fully, "I had it brought forcibly home
to me that there is a vast difference
between a smart man and a smart
alec. A smart man may possess a dis-
criminating sense of humor, but a
smart, alec is one of those feeble-mind-
ed folk who send out funny boomer-
angs on the slightest provocation, and
they always come back and hit him
with whizzing sound. This is how I
made the discovery: Mrs. Pozozzle
and I were out for our daily constitu-
tional. You know some people walk
to get thin, but my wife is different
—she walks to get fat. Fat is the
one dear hope of Mrs. Pozozzle's exist-
ence. She would like to bo uphold-
etered. Last evening she said to me:
'Oliver, if I could just get fifteen
pounds, even, I would be so much hap-
pier.' 'Fifteen pounds?' said I, the
smart alec. 'Do you mean avoirdupois
or English currency?' She is too
smart for me, that wife of mine, and
she saw her chance. 'This time,' she
answered sweetly, I would choose the
currency.' And I had to figure out
the amount in our money and make
good."
How Tuberculosis Is Spr.ead.
Based on figures obtained from
caseB of tuberculosis reported in
Cleveland, New York and other cities
where thorough registration of con-
sumptives is employed, it is esti-
mated that for every death from con-
sumption In th'e United States, of
which there are on an average 200,000
annually, there are constantly more
than five living cases, making at least
1,000,000 in all. Of this million living
cases, it is estimated that the health
authorities have records of not more
than 100,000 to 150,000 or one in every
eight or ten, and that for the great
majority of cases recorded, no hos-
pital, home or dispensary care is pro-
vided. Practically nothing can be
done to control the spread of tuber-
culosis in the unreported cases.
THE RIGHT SOAP FOR BABY'S
SKIN
In the care of baby's skin and hair,
Cutlcura Soap is the mother's fa-
vorite. Not only is it unrivaled in
purity and refreshing fragrance, but
its gentle emollient properties are
usually sufficient to allay minor Irri-
tations, remove redness, roughness
and chafing, soothe sensitive condi-
tions, and promote skin and hair
health generally. Assisted by Cuti-
cura Ointment, it is most valuable in
the treatment of eczemas, rashes and
other Itching, burning infantile erup-
tions. Cutlcura Soap wears to a wafer,
often outlasting several cakes of ordi-
nary soap and making its use most
economical.

Would Chew His Own.
Glen Arnold Grove, the educator
and lecturer, tells the following story,
the result of observations made dur-
ing a recent trip to Paris.
He was standing before a well-
known bath house as two men came
along.
Said one to the other, as he pointed
to a sign on the front of the building:
"Sure, Mike, did you ivver see the
loikes. Beans! chewed and fried! I
wouldn't mind having some meself,
but Oi'll do me own chawing."
The sign indicated read:

Going Slow.
George F. Baker, the noted finan-
cier, was for many years Pierpont
Morgan's close friend, and in analyz-
ing Mr. Morgan's success Mr. Baker
once said to a New York correspond-
ent:
"He was not the impetuous head-
long man of action he has been pic-
tured. He acted, but he acted delib-
erately. He once gave me this advice
—advice which he always himself fol-
lowed:
" 'Be Bure you are right—then
pause for reflection.' "

"Now I've been a-reading an advertise-
ment In here of a new medicine, and
it says it's dreadful good for a slug-
gish liver."
"Liver troubles ain't no new dis-
ease, pa," responded Mrs. Smith. "I
remember grandfather having liver
trouble when I wasn't more'n ten

was good for a sluggish liver, Martha
