Is but little bettor than none. In
another case tho hogs had no shelter

hogs aro easily subject to pneumonia
and iq all three cases they had it.
Hogs must havo a warm dry shed

OAT SMUT PREVENTION
Washington D. C Feb. 16 The
annual losses from smut In oats are
greater than those caused by any oth-
er preventable disease. Treating the
Bted with hot water or with formal-
dehyde solution before sowing is an
easy clfeap and effective way of pre-
venting this disease. Tho latter meth-
od whlchis tho most available for
general use is hero briefly summar-
ized. Mix the formalin (a commercial
preparation which is 37 per cent for-
maldehyde by wolght) with water at
the rate of one pound (a little less
than a pint) tb 40 gallons of water.
Tho grain may bo either loosely In-
closed In sacks or put loose Into a
tub or vat with the solution. Agitate
the sacks or stir the loose grain oc-
casionally so that the entire surface
of every grain will be thoroughly wet.
Instead of being immersed the seed
oats may bo spread on a clean floor
of canvas and sprinkled with the so-
lution and shoveled over during the
process so that they will be wet even-
ly as In the other process. Not over
a gallon of solution wllljae needed
for every bushel of dry grain. After
sprinkling shovel tho seed Into a
pile cover it with sacks and wet the
solution and allow it to stand for at
least two hours before spreading it
out to dry.
Tho oats may be seeded as soon
as dry enough to run through the
di 111. If the seed is still moist the
drill must be set to sow more to the
acre than If it is dry. The quantity
which should be gown may be deter-
mined by measuring a given bulk be-
fore and after treatment and figuring
the proportion of increase. After the
treatment do not expose the seed to
freezing until it is thoroughly dry.
Do not allow the treated seed to
come into contact with old sacks bins
or machinery In which there- may be
smut spores. If such must be used
scald them or wash them first with
the formaldehyde solution.

THE POLICEMAN
The following taken from a card
golt-ju out y the Ardmore Chief of
police one of which Was eut to Caiol
Taylor Is pretty good we think:
Everyone leels at liberty tb abuBe
and criticise the policeman. He 1b
variously accused of drunkkenness
grafting of laziness and of nearly
everything else In the calender.
When the vaudeville performer
springs a joke about the police in
"our town" the entire audience
bursts into laughter. The policeman
i? the joko and the butt of everyone's
wit and yet when we are in trouble
whom do we turn to first? The
policeman! When we hear a mys-
terious noise around the house at
midnight whom do we call the
much despised policeman. When we
are at a loss for the name of a street
tho policeman is appealed to. Tho
mother with her babes appeals to the
policeman to help her across the
street and he does so kindly cour-
teously. Ho "helps the women and
children by crowded traffic corners.
In short he does- everything for ev-
erybody and his reward is abuso and
complaint. If the newspaper writer
Is at a loss for a subject he attacks
the police department and tho read-
ing public applauds. No one ever
thinks of the dark hours of night
when in the cold and rain the patient
officer is pacing his beat protecting
the lives nnd property of the public.
Of the times when ho takes his life
in his bands arresting marauders and
desperate men; of the countless acts
of heroism that bto performed by po-
licemen every day In the year. Re-
ember tho next time you feel like
abusing the policeman that he Is a
human like yourself. That he has
the samo hopes and aspirations that
you have and that he appleclates
praise and good words just as 'much
as you do. It wjll make a better po-
liceman of him If you will do this
and let him know It.

A FARM GARDEN
Half Acre of Ground Will Provide AH
tho Vegetables Needed by tho
Average Family.
H. M. Cottroll one of tho South's
most noted agricultural experts who
has particularly studied the needs of
tho cotton growers writing for a
pi eminent farm Journal has tho fol-
lowing Interesting article on the far-
mers garden:
A well tended garden of one-half
acre will furnish moro food than can
bo bought with two bales of cotton.
People who havo a good garden are
well fed and can do a good day's work
every day. TJio health of the family
Is better where there Is a full sup
ply of vegetables every day In the
year. Any landowner can afford to
furnish free the half acrev needed by
the tenant for a gardon because the
tenant will more than pay fo It In
vork that will produce larger yields
of crops.
Besides tho half acre for garden
each family should plant a half acre
to Irish potatoes On which two crops
are grown one half acre to sweet po
tatoes and ono half acre to Japan-
ese or Texas ribbon cane for syrup.
In the latter case use three pounds of
seed. Every 'country merchant can
afford to allow a tenant farmer cred-
it for seed and plants for tho garden
and seed for tho Irish potatoes bo-
cause with tho garden and sweet po-
tatoes the tenant will not need a
lurgo allowance to carry htm through
tho season and he will have more cot-
ton money to (.pend in the fall.
Below is a list of seed for a family
of five and the time of planting. The
earlier plantings may be killed by
unfavorable weather but will do well
in so many seasons that it will pay to
take the risk. Any good varieties
may bo used in the place of the ones
mentioned.

There has been recently a serious
increase In pollagra. Tho great au
thorities on this disease say that one
of the chief causes of this malady is
the lack of varloty In food and that
a strong preventive of this malady
Is the eating at every meal of food-
stuffs like beans peas milk or oggs.
FjOr this reason every family should
haye beans and peas every month in
tne year that they will grow well can
ajjlarge quantity of beans for winter
us'o-and have them several times in
each week well cooked ripe beans or
cowpeas on the table.
Plow the ground at least eight In-
ches deep. If yoUr team is 'not suf-
ficiently strong to do this onco oyer
tlffi ground run the plow twico In the
same furrow. After plowing cover
the ground with well-rotted manure
or with fresh cow manure in which
there is no bedding. Horso manuro
is tod heating unless it has rotted.
Drive over the garden as little as
possible while putting on tho ma-
nuro. After tho manure has been
spread go over the land five or six
times with a "gee-whiz" or a one-
horse cultivator running the shovelB
just as deep as you can. Every time
through tho season that the crops
are cultivated cultivate the land not
yet planted.
Don not plant in beds. Plant In
rows 30 Inches npart and most of the
work for the most thorough cultiva-
tion can bo done In a few hours each
week with a horso or mule. Cultivato
at least onco a week. As soon ns tho
crop Is gathered plant another in its
place. In this way most of the land
will grow three Crops.

Rapid increases in tho price of

HOW TO MVE ?
Resourcefulness of Poor in Gfeanlsg
Nickels to Buy Bread 1st
Remarkable.
Appeared from ah alloy in Durant's
business district a boy not ctverj 13
years of age old and small for his
age carrying a large armful of Bcraps
of wood
"What are you doing with tho
kindling sonny?" asks a passerby.
"Goin' to sell It" answered tho
boy. "I can got a nickel for this."
"What would you do with the nick
ol?" again .queried the man.
"Buy a loaf of bread" replied tho
boy.
"What is your name?"
The boy told him.
"Is your father Hving7"
"Yes; he runs a job hack."
"How many aro there in your fam-
ily?" "Mamma and papa and nine chil-
dren; I'm the oldost."
"Don't you go to school?"
"No; I run a Job hack too.''
"Do you get much to do?"
"Some days I mako a nickel; somo
days I make a quarter and one lay
I made forty-flvo cents. Yesterday I
didn't get a job at all."
"How about your father?"
"He does a little better; I guess ho
makes about seventy-five conts or a
dollar a day."
"Does the money that you and your
father both make provide your fam-
ily with a living?."
"Some days wo have enough to eat
and nome days we don't. Yesterday
was Sunday and wo couldn't work
but wo had to eat anyway. We had
two slices of bread apicco for Sun-
day and plenty of water to drink
Water fills up and makes us think wo
are not hungry for a while."
The man who carried on this dia-
logue with this youthful provider
was so impressed with tho dire want
of this poor family that he repeated
the conversation as nearly as ho
could word for word as it took
place. Some one has said that ono
half the world knows not how tho
other half lives and this little inci-
dent brings that spying close homo
to us.
