the cowa while his wife it getting
breakfast. He oan separate the cream
and begin a steady csjh income whh
the flrvt day In hia new home. The
regular weekly return from the sale
of cream enables the new settler to
pay ca*h for his household supplies
and tie need not have store bills. The
aklm milk fed to hens and pigs adds
to the profits.
The countless losses and failures in
dry land farming in the Southwest
'nave come from attempts to make a
living from exclusive grain farming
and no stock. A careful dry land
farmer in eastern Colorado rai3ed
six profitable crops of grain in 18
years. The 1914 grain crop la heavy
throughout the Panhandle. The last
genera'ily good grain crop in that dis-
trict was in 1909. The man who de-
pends entirely unon raiding grain
find 3 fne wait between crops too
long. It is particularly hard when the
new settler comes at the beginning
of a period of dry years Where the
main income is furnished by the dairy
oow-s, the dry land farmer 'lives com-
fortably every year. He sows grain
only in those seasons when there i3
ample moisture and the money that
the grain brings is a surplus that can
be raised for investment.
When the dry land farmer has suf-
ficient capital and it not obliged to
have a weekly or monthly income,
beef cattle, horse3 and mules are
money makers. Many of the old set-
tiers on the Plains have become
weatlhy and now have fine homes,
eome of them are bank directors,
from the profits made from raising
beef cattle and horses. Beef cattle
$can be finished to top the market on
eilage made from kafir or sorghum
fed with kafir or milo grain and cot-
ton seed meai. The gains are more
rapid than the usual gains made in
the corn belt.
When you think of dry land farm-
ing t'nink of dairying. When you
move to a dry land farm take ten to
twenty good dairy cow* with you.
Make your main crops feed crops for
the dairy cows. Take good care of
the cows and of the cream. You will

WAR AGAINST DI8EA8E
Now that everyone is reading of
the war in Europe and its great cost
of human life, and physical suffer-
ing, it is not amiss to call Oklahoma's
attention to the war existing in Ok-
lahoma, and its cost of human life and
physical suffering.
It is true that the war in Oklahoma
is not a war where airships are em-
ployed to drop bombs, ar enormous
cannon to destroy armor p'ate and
reduce fortresses, or the Tapid fire
machine guns that can decimate an
entire regiments in a few minutes,
but the Oklahoma war is equally^s
dangerous and will last much longer,
and in time will claim a greater loss
than this European war.
Oklahoma's war is a war on micro-
organisms t^at cause diseases that at-
tack human beings. The public is
altogther too indifferent and is not
Sufficiently interested la ascertain-
ing the means of protection they have
