the service to the people of Oklahoma
1 worth while.
This train will be run beginning
January 20, and will continue into Feb-
ruary. Should it be received favor-
ably by the people who are mostly
concerned with poultry and hogs,
other railroads will be invited to co-
operate and the itinerary will be ex-
tended as long as the interest of the
people will justify the effort on the
part of the college and railroads to
encourage the raising of poultry and
hoga.
The packers at Oklahoma City and
other points realize that stock hogs
have been depleted in numbers and
the poultry and commission men re-
port a similar shortage of poultry
stock. The purpose of this train will
be to encourage the farmers and busi-
ness men to stock the farms with
poultry and hogs during the coming
year and introduce the best breeds
and types in doing this.
Members of the college faculty from
the department of animal husbandry,
poultry husbandry, farm crops and ex-
tension departments will accompany
the train and lecture on technical and
practical subjects relating to the
poultry and hog industry and supple-
mentary topics. A special program
will be prepared by Miss Irma
Mathews, superintendent of women's
auxiliaries of farmers' institutes, Tor
the women, and she will be assisted in
this work by members of the college
faculty. Special programs will be ar-
ranged for boys and girls and lectures
will be provided for from the depart-
ment of boys' and girls' agricultural
clubs and the department of agricul-
ture for schools.
Work That's Being Done.
The A. & M. College, in' co-opera-
tion with thi. Frisco, Katy and Santa
Fe railroads operated poultry, pure
seed and livestock trains during the
past year. More than 77,000 people
attended the lectures and demonstra-
tions given at the trains at 86 stops.
At several stops as many as 2,000 peo-
ple were waiting for the arrival of
the train. The work now proposed
is a follow-up movement begun by
the college last year. Poultry and
livestock were featured last year, also
pure seed, and now the college wishes
to place squarely before the farmers
of Oklahoma the vital necessity of
growing stock of all kinds and more
particularly small stock that can be
quickly raised and money easily real-
ized on.

"Please give us any information you
can with reference to the best class
and most productive Indian seed corn
to plant on highlands, also medium
class bottom land, and how far apart
to plant the rows, and whether it is
best to plant it twenty-four inches
apart in the drill, one stalk in a place,
or thirty-six Inches apart, one stalk
in the place. Have you found that
two stalks in the hill, regardless of
distance, do as well as one stalk in
the hill? We would like a corn not
so flinty and hard if we can find it
prolific at the same time. Have you
done any fertilizing in Indian corn;
if so, how do you do it? We would
be glad indeed for you to lay down
a rule which will give us the best
yield possible and whatever It takes
to do this we will gladly do, and re-
port to you our success in same. What
do you think of sub-soiling, and what
is the best time of year to do this?
Would you do it now or would you
subsoil in the spring?"—H. W. T.,
Cairo, Oklahoma.
The yields of corn depend much
less upon the variety than they do
upon the selection and care of the
i seed. There are many good varieties
grown in this State, both on upland
and on bottom land. In buying seed
corn It is well to bu/ seed grown in
your own locality, if possible, espe-
cially if the seed has been well select-
ed for several years. This point can-
not be too strongly emphasized, for
if we take such a variety as Boone
County White, types grown in some
parts of this state are now very dif
ferent than the same variety grown
in Illinois. On upland the best results
seemed to be secured from growing
some of the medium early varieties,
such as Golden Eagle and similar va-
rieties. On good bottom land the lar-
ger varieties, like Boone County
White, do very well. —O. 0. Church-
ill, Department of Agronomy.

PROTECTION FOR NATIVE DEER
Osage County Hunters Say Big Game
Rapidly Is Becoming Ex-
tinct in State
Unless a state law ie passed pre-
venting the killing of deer in the
Osage country, it is the belief of hunt-
ers there that it will be only a few
years before this gfune will have been
annihilated in that part of the state.
Five years ago deer in the Osage
country were plentiful. Today it is
believed less than one hundred are in
existence and the open season will cut
this number by half.
The fact cannot be denied that deer
are becoming scarce in Osage county,
because there has been a wilful slaugh-
ter of these animals each year. Ten
years ago it was estimated that no
less than 500 deer could be found in
Osage county, and several hunters de-
clare that is placing the estimate very
low. This year, it is doubtful if there
are a fifth of that number roaming the
hills in that county. If they become
extinct in that country there will re-
main but few sections of the state
where they can be found. Other coun-
ties in the state where deer are to
be found are talking of taking a simi-
lar action in having the season for
killing deer closed for a period of five
years.
by various forms of treatment they
have found complete relief by the
use of Peruna. These testimonials
have come to me uarequested, unso-
licited. unrewarded in any way, di-
rectly or indirectly. They have sim-
ply been gleaned from my private cor-
resro!.(!••• nee with patients that have
been more or less under my treatment
or f :king my remedies.
No remedy, official or unofficial, has
a greater accredited basis for the
claims we make for it than Peruna as
a remedy for catarrh.
I have never been opposed at any
time to the regulations offered by th"
Pure Food and Drugs Act. I am not
now opposed to its provisions, but I
am opposed to the proposed amend-
ments to give to a partisan board of
physicians the unqualified authority to
decide as to all therapeutic claim? |

Surprised Him.
There was a fellow who proposed to
all the girls just for fun. He had no
idea of getting himself engaged, but
he enjoyed the preliminaries. So he
was disagreeably surprised once and

refer such questions to a body of men
who are already convinced of the
worthlessness of proprietary medi-
cines. To give such a body of men
the unlimited authority to decide
whether our claims for Peruna are
valid or not is a manifest violation of
my constitutional rights.
My claims are based both on cred-
itable theoretical grounds and upon
irrefutable statistics. But I am quite
willing to have our claims as to the
composition of Peruna properly and
thoroughly investigated, and if found
to be false a proper penalty should
be fixed. Or if I am making any
statements concerning disease, as to
the nature, symptoms or danger of
any disease, if I am making any such
statements as to unnecessarily fright-
en the people by false assumptions, I
am willing to submit to any unbiased
tribunal or investigation.
Mrs. Alice Pogle, 803 Clinton St
Circleville, Ohio, writes: "I want to
inform you what Peruna has done
for me. I have been afflicted with ca-
tarrh for several years. I have tried
different medicines and none seemed
to do me any good until I used Pe-
runa. I have taken fix bottles and
can praise it very highly for the good
it has done me. I also find it of grr-at
benefit to my children."
Peruna is for sale at all drug stores.

England's One Real Humorist.
Perhaps England has had no real
humorist since George Savile, mar-
quis of Halifax, died, and that was In
1695. Halifax was the man who said
that "if you think your place is be-
neath you, you certainly will be be-
neath It." And he wrote an essay
once, which has lately been republish-
ed in exactly its original form, in
which he congratulated the women
who had fools for husbands.
"A wife," he said, "often maketh the
better figure, for her husband's mak-
ing no great one, and there seemeth
to be no reason why the lady that
chooseth a waiting woman with worse
looks may -not be content with a bus-
band with less wit."
It Pays.

THE BEST TEACHER.
Old Experience Still Holds the Palm.
For real practical reliability and
something to swear by, experience-
plain old experience--is able to carry
a big load yet without getting sway-
backed.
A So. Dak. woman found some
things about food from Old Experi-
ence a good, reliable teacher.
She writes:
I think I have used almost every
breakfast food manufactured, but none
equal Grape-Nuts in my estimation.
"I was greatly bothered with weak
stomach and indigestion, with forma-
tion of gas after eating, and tried
many remedies for it but did not find
relief.
"Then I decided I must diet and see
n I could overcome the difficulty that
way- My choice of food was Grape-
•\uts because the doctor told me I
could not digest starchy food
"Grape-Nuts food has been a great
benefit to me for I feel like a different
person since I begun to eat it It ia
wonderful to me how strong my
nerves have become. I advise every-
one to try it, for experience is the
best teacher.
"If you have any stomach trouble—
can't digest your food, use Grape-
uts food for breakfast at least and
you won t be able to praise it enough
when you see how different you feel"
