They are filling up the Gulf of
Mexico. It.s a big undertaking but
most of the Oklahoma farmers have
been working over time on that job.
Every spring they plow up or list up
the hill sides that should have been
left in grass, so that the big rains
can take the surface soil to the Gulf.
Then they take their cultivators arjd
tear up some mare soil for the next
rain to take along This they have
been keeping up for a number of
years, and the soil that is needed on
our Oklahoma farms is furnishing a
play ground for the mud turtles at
the mouth of the Mississippi. Okla.
Farmer.
See The Difference.
The following transaction that
passed between a certain storekeeper
and a farmer in a certain town not
long ago, will no doubt set these mail
order patrons to thinking.
Farmer: Mr. Merchant, what is
that hand-saw hanging up there
worth?
Merchant: Eighty-five cents.
Farmer: Gee but you are too
high ! I can buy that same saw in
Chicago for fifty-five cents.
Merchant: All right, on the same
conditions that you - have to deal if
you buy in Chicago, I will sell it to
you for fifty-five cents.
Farmer: All right, I'll take it.
Hand it down here.
Merchant: Not yet, pay me three
cents for a money order, two cents
postage and twenty-five cents express
and then I will sell you the saw
Farmer: Gee. but you are smart!
I didn't think of that, but to show
you I am a sport, I will stick to my
bargain. Just charge it up to me
and give me the saw. I am in a hurry.
Merchant: No. no, you pay me
cash just like you would your Chica
go friend.
Farmer: Stung again. All right,
Mr. Shylock, here is your money.
Now give me my saw.
Merchant: Not yet. Come in in
about 10 days and your saw wil be
here for you.
SHAVED PROMINENT MEN
Jeraey Barber Among Others of His
Illustrious Clients, Recall* Lin-
coln and Charles Dickens.
Louis William Miller, dean of
Washington's barbers, celebrated his
seventy-ninth birthday by working
from five o'clock in the morning till
eleven o'clock at night.
Miller's birthday recalled to him
the fact that he had shaved or cut
the hair of more men of note prob-
ably than any other barber now liv-
ing. Among those who submitted
themselves to his hand were Abra-
ham Lincoln, Franklin Pierce. Mil-
lard Fillmore, James Buchanan,
Baron Rothschild, Charles Dickens,
LONG TWENTY-FOUR HOURS.
To be imprisoned for twenty-four
hours with snakes and rats as com-
panions was the recent experience
of a Salida, Colo., hotel clerk, named
Burrows. While taking a walg in
the mountains near there the man
entered a deserted mine, using light-
ed matches to guide him. He fell;
into a pit twelve feet deep, receiv-
ing painful cuts about the head. His
cries were finally heard by three
boys, who rescued him.

The goad dairy cow w

Keeping two cuws t.j <Jo the work
of one constitutes the biggest leak in
the dairy business
An income of $100 per cow per
year is no longer an unusal occurr-
ence but what other farm animal can
equal it ?
Regular, c treful, quiet milking will
peimantly improve an animal as a
milk producer and will increase her
flow
Experiments have proven the aver-
age milk cow requires about an
ounce of salt per day. Heavy milk-
ers should have mors.
Silage is very nearly as cheap as
pasture and in composition is prac-
tically the same, pound for pound, as
timothy pasture.
