the Deerinf Corn Binder and you have a machine that will do the work. Also, we can y
out with the reliable Deering Corn Shredder, which will shuck your com and shred your fodder.
When in town step in and see samples and be convinced.
Look at the wide frame of the Ideal Mower—straddles the cut frass, leaving a clear
track for the wheels, while the main gears are placed in just the proper position to balance the
entire machine, thus affording the utmost power without side draft. See! How high the wheels
are! Look at those composition brass boxes on crank shaft, which can be replaced at a small
cost, and the steel balls next to level pinions to overcome end thrust. Many other points of
superiority can be shown you if you will only come and see.

HOW ABOUT FEEDING
Tlio practice of growing corn and
shipping it out of the country Is
unproBtable In a business sense to
everybody but the railroad com
panlea.
This year the farmers have an ex-
cellent prospect for an immense crop
of corn. Moat fields are In the roast-
ing ear stage and the ground Is In
fine condition from thorough cultiva-
tion and the recent late rains. All
of this corn Is safe for a good yield
even without another drop of rain.
What will the farmers do with all
their corn? We suppose they will
follow In the ssmo old rut and sell
It to the grain shippers as they have
ia the past, thus giving the railroad
companies u good share of the profit
The Journal would like to see a
change. A vast amount of money
could be saved to this country if our
entire corn crop could be fed right at
homo to cattle and hogs. Instead of
bringing 20 to 30 cents per bushel
from the grain shipper, we believe
every bushel would bring BO to 60
cents If fed to cattle and hogs.
But the farmer will say he has no
cattle to feed. Perhaps not, hut If he
has two or three thousand bushels of
corn it will take but little time to
find out where he can get them, and
pay for them when they are put on
the market. True, the farmers are
not supplied with pens, troughs,
racks, etp.,for feeding, but It will not
cost muc|» to make these Improve-
ments for feeding one or two car
loads of ateers, and when once
provided they will be ready for future
use.
What tble county needs Is a half
dozen or more feeders In every town-
ship and then the profits In a corn
crop could all be kept at home. We
would not need to divide up with the
grain buyer, the railroads and the
Kansas City elevators
The editor of this paper, unlike the
farmer In this particular, has cattle
but no corn, and If conditions are not
changed materially within ninety
days we will pen a bunch of steers
and handle some of the cheap corn
which the farmers will offer on the
Manchester market. We are not at
all afraid of the result, and if we can
make a profit and buy every bushel of
corn we feed, why can not the
farmer, who grows his own corn, do
equally as well or better than we can.
There la no use shipping corn out or
allowing outsiders to come In and
feed the crop. Think this matter
over seriously and let’a do the busi-
ness wltbin ourselves.

—The new mill Is towering towards

for tbe machinery which will be new
throughout and of tbe very latest
improved patterns. Hildebrand &
Wynkoop are to be complimented and

lent grain market.
-It is not often that a sheriff boys

proposes to have the finest livery
barn In the county.
—Mrs. Haley, sister of J. W. Smith
of Manchester, arrived Tuesday from

more appreciated from the fact she
has not seen her mother and brother
in fourteen years. While here she
will take a good look at a farm near
Argonla, Summer county, for which
her husband It thinking some or
trading.
—A number of the Manchester
boys went to Bluff City Monday
night in response to an Invitation
from the I. O. O. F. lodge at that
place. Frank Simmons will perhaps
remember the trip longer than tbe
other hoys, having encountered a
skunk In the road on the>way back
A CORRECTION.
Last week this paper run a local to
the effect Mint John Plsar had made
a record-breaking run la threshing
2,143 bushels of wheat In one day aud
with one setting of the muchloe.
That was correct. The error was
in the kind of an outfit owned by Mr.
Plsar. The type made us say he has
an “Avery" outfit. John never
owned an Avery. Hia Is a “Reeves"
outOt complete. Tbe wheat In which
this run was made yielded 22 bushels
per acre, Instead of 26 as we were
at first Informed.
While wo are sorry the error was
made, we assure the “victims"
it was entirely unintentional. We
can't see where Mr. Plsar has been
harmed. The harm was done to the
threshing machine company and Its
agent at Anthony, Jas. J. Costa.
Mr. Costa Is and has been a valued
patron of this ppaper, as has Mr.
Plsar. The Journal is not In the
business of intentionally publishing
anything detrimental to any one,
much less ono a friend and supporter
of this printing establishment.
Then let the facts be Known: John
Plsar threshed In one day at one set-
ting of the machine 2,143 bushels of
bard wheat, machine measure, In a
field of wheat on the farm of E. E.
Chinn, which yielded 22 bushels per
acre. Mr. Plsar has a new 20-horse
REEVES outfit._
MOST HORRIBLE
Last week near Okemah occurred a
most distressing accident. A little
girl was sent by her mother across a
pasture to a store at Okemah. When |
she got about half way across the
pasture she was attacked by a steer.
Tbe steer chased her some distance,
finally pushing her down and ran his
horns through the girl's body. Her
screams brought people to her rescue.
Men ran from Okemah with guns and
clubs, and others on horseback
tried to rope the animal, but could
not. Finally a man got near enough
with his Winchester to shoot the
steer, which he did. The animal fell
dead, but when the child was reached
she was also dead. People who saw I
the horrible sight say they will never |
forget it.—Southwest World.

The Patriot sajs the Journal Is
mistaken In Its prognostication of
the scrap In the Republican ranks In
Grant county, and that the Vldette
and Patriot are just practicing for
the fray that will come later. If
this be so, they bad better let up, else
they will be entirely out of ammu-
nition before the big game comes In
sight.

It would look as though the
Republicans of Grant county arc
figuring cm putting up a fight for
their county ticket In the coming
campaign, regardless of the bitter
factional fight that is on in their own
ranks. Republican candidates seem
to be quite plentiful and the faction
that wins out In naming the ticket
probably figures that by wholesale
trading at the polls they can win out
on two or three men. The Palmer
crowd seems to be io the saddle now,
with excellent prospects for naming
whom they choose os the nominees to
be voted for at the polls.
