MONEY SAVING
IE BOOK
Corn shocking, cotton picking and
Kafir harvesting is the order of the day.
I.et the good work go on.
Farm to make money, but don't rob
' your land. It's like killing the goose
that lays the golden egg.
A curry comb saves doctor bills and
feed bills and makes your horses
look better and feel better.
(Jet as much fall plowing done as pos-
sible. It's the early and d.ep plowing
that will produce the best crops next
year.
Hurry.' hurry! hurry! Its time you(
got that wheat into the ground at'
once. Push on the lines a little now
and get it in immediately if not sooner.

The agricultural exhibits at the
State Fair eclipsed everything ever
attempted in th earrangement and
quality and quantity of farm products
exhibited.
Have so ne good brool sows of the
medium sized easy fattening type, but
don't forget to have a well bred bo;ir.
It pays to spend a little money on a
well bred boar.
In selecting seed corn don't select
seed from a stalk near a barren staik
or stalks as the pollen from the barren
stalk may have fertilized the ear yon
are about to select for seed. It would
really pay to have a small patch of
corn from which you would raise your
seen on a scientific basis.
Get a bunch of chickens. A
hundred or two hundred well bred hens
if properly cared for will pay the groc-
ery bill and often times furnish the
clothing for the entire family. Some
of our farmers have to mortgage their
coming crops every spring in order to
get groceries during the summer. If
they raised a good bunch of chickens,
they wouldn't need to do it. The
easist money on the farm is in chickens
if you give them a little care.
Have you a compact heap? Not
even a dung heap or manure pile. Not
many farmers look after saving the
manure or taking care of it, much less
do they think of saving other waste
such as straw, leaves, corn stalks etc.,
to mix with your manure and to wet it
down occasionally so as to cause it so
rot well and produce more fertilizer.
If you have a bunch of good cows
on the farm and a cream separator,
wean the calves from the cow when
they are four days old an i teach them
to drink from o bucket. A calf should
receive one pint of milk for each ten
pounds of live weight, also one pound
of grain and one pound of hay for
each 3 00 pounds of weight.

Take another look into the sheep
raising possibilities on the Oklahoma
farm. They look encouraging and its
worth your most careful consid-
eration. We need a variety of crops
and a variety of live stock and the
sheep have a certain place to fill iti
that program. Nothing else can fill it.

CAPITOL BUILDING AT GUTHRIE
'i
i'i
A real bu,ldin9 on raal ground, erected by citizen;- of Guthrie and deeded free to the State with 14 acres of flround in the heart of the city parked,
paved and improved, and worth fully half a million dollars.
Guthrie has deposited with the Governor, Deed for this property, also a deed for a $20,000 executive mansion, a five year lease free on the new
$K.0,000 Court House, and an absolute guarantee to pay all moving expenses.
This is the taxpayer's opporturity to get rid of part of his burden.
If the capital is located at Guthrie, there will be no need of any appropriation for buildings or rents for many years to come.
Vote "YES" on Nov. 5 and settle the matter.
A "NO" vote means to leave the capital temporarily at Oklahoma City with enormous appropriations for building and rents, and consequent in-
creased taxation, with the whole matter coming up again at the next election.
