Pig Feeding.

The work in pig feeding during the
past year has been q continuation of that
of previous years, the general idea being
to ascertain the best and most econom-
ical way Of using the skimmilk from the
dairy for the production of pork. The
experiments conducted seem to show
that the sour skimmilk produced just as
good results, pound for pound, as sweet
skimmilk. Where there was any differ
ence, it was in favor Of sour skimmilk.
This corresponds with the results OBJ
tanned in similar investigation year
ago and seems to indicate that the farm
ers need not be afraid that they are los
ing money every time the milk sours on
the way home from the creamery, and
creamery men naed not go to any ex-
pense or trouble 10 so handle the skim
milk as to sterilize it and keep it sweet
Two ounces Of cornmeal to each quart
of skimmilk has yielded the pound Of
pork at the least cost Of food. A larger
amount of cornmeal has produced a
more rapid growth, but at an increased
cost for food for each pound of pork
dDONO ITO Value.
During heavy feeding in preparation
for market, 10 quarts Of skimmilk daily
to each pig, with all the cornmeal that
would be eaten, produced more rapid
growth and at less cost per pound than
six quarts of milk under similar condi
tions.
A method Of feeding during the earlier
months which tends to the development
of bone, muscle and digestive organs,
rather than the formation of fat, pro-
vides a foundation ON which greater
profit will be made when heavy feeding
begins in preparation for market. Any
method of feeding which furnishes bulky
food tends to the larger growth of the
stomach and intestines, and larger per
cent in shrinkage in dressing. Watery
food has the same influence.
The eight pigs in these tests increased
in live weight 1913 pounds, which sold
for $112.91, while the food they ate cost
$7s.6S, profit of 1929. The grain they
ate cost $4.11, which subtracted from
the amount for which they sold leaves
$6S.70 as the amount realized for the TO-
712 pounds of skimmilk they ate, which
is equivalent to 35 cents per 100 pounds.
The fertilizing value of the food was
$500, or 81 per cent of its market value.
Owing to the high price of pork at the
time they were marketed, they could
have been proftably fed to greater
weight than in our previous experiments,
but even at Z cents pound, dressed
weight, they yielded no profit during the
last period after they weighed on the
average $50 pounds apiece, and at Or
binary prices for pork profit would have
ceased at about 200 pounds live weight.

The question of allotment OF
lands and an advalorem tax is OF
vastly more Importance to the
Cherokee people than all the rot
that will be talked from the stump
from now until the first Monday
in August. No one of all the can
didates that have thus far "talked"
have ever broached the subject OF
taxation, though some of them are
talking allotment. So long as we
ignore the real issues of the day in
our political campaigns we will
make no progress whatever toward
solving questions that affect all
Of us.

BoTH the Downing and National
parties in this district now have
full tickets in the field, and the
campaign is on in earnest. The
chances of success are as usual di-
vided. The outlook at present is
that the senators will both fall to
the Nationals. Ed Sanders and
George Mayes are both we'll known
all over the district and are justly
popular; their records are clean
and we think both deserve cleo
tion. The clerk, in the opinion of
THE CHIEFTArN, will be q Down
ing man and his name is Joe NJ.
Lahay. The sheriff will be John
Lipc, though his opponent, ]. T.
Muskgrove, will poll a good vote
throughout the district. When we
come to the council 1t is rather diff.
ficult to foretell results. A large
part of the candidates for council
on both tickets are without doubt
unsuitable men for Legislators,
whatever may be their standing as
citizens. Such men as V. Gray, OF
the National, and j. NJ. Crutch-
field, Joe Cobb, J.. c. Land and r.
X. Adair, of the Downing party,
are good men and will give salts
faction, but unfortunately there
are not enough of them. Both
candidates for The office of district
solicitor are competent and worthy
men, and either will give satisfac-
tion.

bond that would be required, l rec
commended to the secretary, on the
23rd Of this month, that the pc
tition of the Delawares for the
eelection Of Mr.. Peel, be granted,
and l suppose it has been done. f"
/ am advised by letter and in
person, by a number of Delawares,
that they have no knowledge of a
council of the tribe having been
held; that few cf the Delawares
met and may have asked that Mr..
Peel make the payment, tut that
the majority OF the Delawares de-
sire the payment made by me, and
that they do not want any portion
of their monies taken for the ex-
penses Of this payment.
Some express themselves as
being heavily taxed in the FIVE per
cent contract made with Mr..
Journeycake, and that if any ex-
pense is necessary IL ought to be
paid out Of that five per cent. My
proposition to the department to
pay the money without any com
pensation whatever, except the
incidental expense of less than
$500, was made to protect the
Delawares from losing the amount
which ii was reported to me was
about to be taken from their fund
by the Honorable Secretary of the
Interior and paid to Mr.. Peel. |
consider that this would be clearly
inconsistent with the law, for the
department has no right to divert
any fund from the purpose set forth
in the appropriation act. The
Delawares are under no obligation
whatever to pay any portion Of any
expense for the payment of this
money.
Please advise me when and
where, if at all, the Delawares
held the council alluded to, how
many Delawares and who were
among the prominent ones present,
and what action, if any, was had
in this matter. Respectfully,

Dear Sir: Your letter of the

contents noted, and in reply have
to say that | was notified by let
ter from j. E. Campbell about the
first of the month that there was to
be a council of the Delawares held
at Bartlesville on the Sth inst. for
the purpose of having our princi-
pal money paid out at an early
date. did not 60 TO that council
therefore | do not know what was
done or who was present at the
council.
| was satisfied from what | had
seen, and heard from others, that
they Campbell and Journeycake)
wanted Mr.. Peel appointed to
make the payment and the people
to pay him for making it. And as
the Delawares in my neighborhood
claim they agreed by contract to
pay D per cent and no more to get
their money, | thought it unjust
to tax them any more. Further
more,y you told me you would make
the payment to the Delawares and
it "would not cost the people a
cent"
and all the Delawares in my
neighborhood want you to make
the payment for we believe you
would give us better protection
and satisfaction than "a special
agent. As to the 500 or less ofnec-
essary incidental expense money
we are willing to pay tnat, but we
are not willing TO pay Mr.. Peel
$1,000 to make the payment for us.
Your friend as ever,

DEGREES of the Court of Claims,
Filed June IL, 1898.

Johnson Blackfeather, principal
chief Of the Shawnee tribe Of In.
dians, VS.. the Cherokee nation
and the United States.
This cause coming on to be heard
upon the petition, answers, proofs,
and arguments submitted by the
parties, respectively, and the court
having heard the same, and con-
sldered the just rights in law and
equity of the Shawnee Indians
who are settled and incorporated
into the Cherokee Nation, in pur.
suance of the authority vested in
the court by the act of congress
entitled "An act to refer to the
court OF claims certain claims OF the
Shawnee and Delaware Indians
and the freedmen Of the Cherokee
Nation, and for other purposes, y
approved October, /, 1890.
And it appearing to the court
that under the provision of article
lst of the treaty of July 10, 1866,
made by and between the United
States and the Cherokee Nation
and the agreement between the
Cherokees and Shawnees, dated
June Z, 1869, approved by the
president June o, 1869, the said
Shawnee Indians were admitted
into and became a part of the
Cherokee Nation, entitled TO equal
rights and immunities and to par
ticipation in the Cherokee national
funds and common property in the
same manner and to the same ex-
tent as Cherokee blood.
1t is ordered, adjudged and de-
creed that so much of the acts OF
the Cherokee national council OF
May IS, 1888, and November 25,
1890, as restricts the distribution
of funds which were derived from
public domain to citizens Of the
nation by blood be held and
deemed contrary to and in deroga-
ton of the constitution of the

or in the custody of the United
States, as trustees, not speci fcally
appropriated by law to other pur.
poses, or out OF funds that may
hereafter come TO the possession Of
said trustees belonging to the
Cherokee Nation, a sum equal to
aggregate amount which the Shaw.
nees would have received if the
before. mentioned unconstitutional
restrictions in said statutes had moi
existed.

UMoS AoEScr, MusKoGEE. June q. 's3.
Messrs. Chas. Journeycake Cap.
tain Curleyhead and Silas Conner:
Under date Of June oath, am
in receipt Of letter from the hon
orable commissioner Of Indian af.
fairs, relative to the payment Of
the Delaware principal fund, in
which the commissioner says:
"Some weeks ago their chief,
Mr.. JOurneycake and their attor-
ney, Mr.. j. 4. Cambell, proposed
that Hon. s. w. Peel be appointed
to pay this money to the Della
wares at the expense of one per
cent OF the amount paid out. Upon
that proposition | reported to the
secretary that ] thought this mon.
ey should be paid, without such
expense, through the Indian agent
or through some special agent, and
that the office desired that the pay
ment be made without cost TO the
Indians, ii that could be done.
After this recommendation had
been made, and the secretary had
concluded not TO employ any one
on the terms suggested by the chief
and the attorneys Of the Delawares,
the Delawares met in council and
requested that Mr.. Peel make this
payment 10 them-about S460, 900
---at a cost Of $1,000, which they
desired to be taken out of the fund.
In consideration OF the fact that
your term as Indian agent has ex-
pired, and il was thought probable
that the president might make a
change at the Union Agency, and
that the amount that the Della.
wares proposed to pay was not
excessive, considering the large
