health. Prof A. K. Fisher of the de-
partment of agriculture has aimed liis
attack against the tabby cat, claiming
that she is a failure as a mouser and
that she does more damage by catching
useful birds than can possibly be nlTset
by her destruction of rats and mice.
Like the fly. however, the cat will con-
tinue to be with us for some years vet.

The weather editor of the Hobart
Deramr.i' Chief makes the statement
that Saturday was the 140th day of
successive sunshine f"f southwestern
Oklahoma. Jus! n few little showers
i;.terspeii ed with the sunshine would
have been appreciated.
Oklahoma, which has paid good prices
fur early watermelons fiom Texas in
past years, is getting even now. The
dry weather down in the Lone Star
s'ate cut the im i'>n crop short and the
Oklahoma product is being shipped
dowu there to supply the demand.
An Kti^lishni hi, t>j his disgust, has
determined from an investigation that
all of the servants who testified against
Mrs. Howard Gould in her suit for
divorce were English, while all that
were loyal to her interests were Irish.
There are two things that an Irishman
is not: cringinrly servile nor treach-
erous.
The importation of different weed
pests into Oklahoma beigg traced to
Impure- alfalla sied shipped from other
states for seeding purposes. Among
tlie most troublesome are the Russian
thistle, dodder and the bind weed, or
wild morning glory. Before sowing
alfalfa seed a sample should t%e sent to
the experiment station for inspection.
According to the press of the state
the endless chain of selling crude oil
burners is being worked on a large
scale, many people having invested
heavily, and that transactions to the
extent of $75,000 have been completed
in Kiowa county alone. While this
business may not specifically unlaw-
ful, it is a fraud nevertheless. Better
let all such scherat s alone.
Since l>r. Crumbine launched his
"swat the flv" campaign other scien-
tific gentlemeu have felt called upon to

NORTH POLE RUED
Hob Raising.
Wheresoever situated, no farmer is
rightly prepared to raise hugs profitably
in any considerable numbers unless
well provided with pasture and grass,
or facilities for providing acceptable
substitutes. In the economical grow ing
of pork, there is no more important
factor to be considered than that of
pasture. Range in pasture affords
growing animals the excercise so nec-
essary to health and proper (level >p-
nicut; aud the succulent grasses, while
rich in muscle and bone-forming ma-
terials, tend to prevent disease and to
counteract the heating aud fever im-
parting properties of corn. This latter
quality, and exercise, annually save
many thousands of dollars tohogra.- is
iu the United States, yet the loss > lat
results every day to farmers who do
not act upon the fact that the hog is,
in his normal condition, a ranging and
grass-eating animal, is still enormous.
In these days the American pig
makes a speedy journey from farrow ,ng
bed to scalding tub, and the aim of the
judicious feeder is to add constantly to
the flesh acquired while sucWlii,4—
bringing the hog up to 250 to 450
pounds as early and on as inexpensive
feed as possible. The youug animal
will naturally put on weight more
cheaply than an older one, and gams
after ten months cost considerably more
per pound than those made earlier. A
pig which is being fattened should j,..in
from one to two pounds a day, and
weigh, alive 250 to 350 pounds when
nine to twelve months old.—From Co-
burn's "Swine iu America."
What Cinderella Rsaliy Wore.
Doubtless in reading the parchments
of the old French chroniclers many
mistake and misunderstandings oc-
curred. The mauuscWpts were so
dingy and difficult and undeciphcra e.
Of all such errors, one made by
Charles Perrault is the most eviiVnt
and widest spread. When he was
writing his fairy-tales to amuse :he
seventeenth-century courtiers of France
he had, naturally enough, recourse to
the old French chronicles. There he
read that Cinderella—or whatever her
name was in those bygone days—went
to the ball in slippers of "vair," the
royal fur of that time, miniver, as .: is
now known.
Hut Perrault, misreading the text,
decked out his heroine in slippers of
"verre"—glass—a very different thing.
The real Cinderella probably gliued
softly down the dance in those pointed,
curving, fur-bordered shoes of medi- 1
eval days. Thanks to good Monsu ur
Perrault, however, she will forever
click-clack down the corridors of time,
for those little, clattering glass slippers
belong to her as much now as his
swaggering shoes of leather to Puss in
Boots.—Youth's Companion.
Dust is thicker in the roads than
ever known in this section. It is the
powdery kind experienced it) the older
states and calls for a "duster."
Well this is September, and many-
people find themselves alive and well
who declared they would never lie ;i le
to live through the heat of July and
1 August.

Copenhagen, Sept. 1. —Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, American explorer, of Brook-
lyn, N. Y., reached the north pole on
April 21, 1908, according to a telegram
just received at the Colonial office here.
Dr. Cook is on board the Danish
government steamer Hans Egede,
which passed the Lerwick at noon to-
day. A telegram announcing Cook's
achievement reads as follows; "We
have ou board the Araericau traveler,
Dr. Cook, who reached the north pole
April 21, in ninteen eight. Cook ar-
rived at L'ppernivik in May, ninteen
nine, from Cape Vork. Esquimaux of
Cape York confirm Cook's story of the
jonrney."
SCHOOL OPENS MOMI.
The bell will call tne school children
of District No. 3 to their tasks Monday
morning. This will be "Labor Day,"
but the faculty and board thought it
best not to postpone the opening on
that account, as the first day will be
largely spent in organizing.
The outlook for a successful term
was never brighter in the history of the
district. With fine quarters and a
splendid corps of instructors the pupils
will have every comfort and opportu-
nity to advance rapidly in their studies.
Parents should make it a point to
send their children from the first day
and keep them continually in attend-
ance, emphasizing the importance of
education to fit them for citizenship
and making a livlihood.

AMERICAN RUSH FALLS OFF.
Decided Decreeaeln Emigration from
Germany to United Stataa.
Berlin.—Contrary to expectations en-
tertained a few months ago, the volume
of emigration from German ports to
Americn this yenr is falling far below
the normal again and Germany ship-
ping interests are keenly disappointed.
Official figures show that the number
who have embarked from Hamburg
and Bremen since January I is only
174,010 This grently exceeds the
record lor the first six months of l'J08,
when the abnormal conditions following
the financial crisis resulted in a sharp
decrease in Immigrant tralic, but it Is
nearly 100,000 below the total for the
corresponding periorj of 1!K 7 and fat
below the record of any other .recent
year.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed over
the attitude of the American immigra-
tion authorities, whose strictness iu the
enforcement of the regulations is con-
sidered u sponsible to a large extent for
the traffic's failing to recover its normal
proportions.
