THE GARDEN IN FALL.

Fill your hot beds with litter in the
fail so that the ground will not freeze.
Replace this with manure In the spring
and the planting can proceed without
delay.
This IS the season for preparing the
asparagus bed. Cut down the seed
stalks and use manure six inches thick
on the bed Next spring you will have
large stalks and plenty of them.
If not already done, it Is now time
to cut out all the old stalks among the
raspberrles and blackberrles. Leave
but three or four OF the strongest Of
the new canes and treat the rest as
weeds.
Lnseed meal Is a food that always
proves beneficial to horses and cows
and it should be given at east three
times week. 1t may be mixed with
ground grain or sprinkled on chopped
carrots or cooked roots of any kind.
When bulky food is fed to stock 1t
is condensed in the forms OF beef, but
ter. meat and wood, and can be ship
ped at less cost and with greater profit.
The farm is a factory, and should be
conducted on business methods. Con-
dense al foods into something better.
Be careful when setting out new
strawberry beds in the fail to have
every fourth row of the stam'nate
variety, or there will be no fruit at
the proper time. Some are stamlnate
and pstllate. while others are pistilate
only. The former viii produce crops,
but the latter must have staminate
varieties growing near them.
If it is desired to increase the depth
of the soil do not turn up the cold sub
soil with heavy plow but go an inch
dceper than usual, and take in an
other inch next year. Whenever the
subsoil is turned up, however, no mat
ter how little, give the field an appl-
cation of lime, as it will exert a chem
lcal effect on the soil and assist in
bringing it into better condition for
plants.

a~sT LICE ON CATTLE. s-c-
An Unfaiiing Remedy That May be Used
nv ANY One


by Amy One.
a correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman says on this subject: The moro
common remedies recommended for re-
Heving cattle and stock from lice ara
more or less dangerous to life or hea, IN
and must be used with extreme care
An unfaling remedy which may be-
used by any one without danger to
life or limb would be boon to many
FARMERS. Such remedy we have in
the bee-larkspur OF our flower gardens
n strong tea made from the seeds or
foliage of the plant can be used as a
wash with perfect safety. Any part
or the pant may be used in making
the wash, either green or dried The
pant should be gathered before II Is
frosted and cured and preserved as
other herbs are. In the use Of kero-
sene, mercurial ointment, tobacco, etc,
great care must be used or injury re-
suits from absorption; 1t enters the
limbs or other parts of the animal and
Is often permanent injury. No such
danger need be apprehendcd in the use
OF larkspur. All the parts where the
vermin lodge should be well scrubbed
with the wash, and II thoroughly well
done In pleasant, mild day, one ap-
pllcatlon Is sufficient. In former days,
when school children were troubled, I
have heard o.d people tell their ex-
perlcnce In using this remedy to their
complete satisfaction. Another equal
ly harmless remedy Is aloes in fine
powder, which may be used by filling
Il common pepper box with the powder
and sprlnkl!ng II freely into the hair
on the neck, back, sides and rump Of
the infested animal. Rub t thorough
ly through the hair and on the skin
with the ends of the fingers. Leave
the animal undisturbcd for a week,
then card thoroughly and apply as be-
fore. Continue this at intervals of n
week. till not a living parasite is left.
usually two applications, If thoroughly
made, will suffice.
Another writer says that to destroy
lice on live stock he has found moth
ing better than strong carbolic soap
suds. The soap usually sold under
that name Is not strong enough for the
purpose. 1t may be easily prepared
and at any degree of strength that
! may be required. Get pound of car
bolic acid crystals, which may be had
at any wholesale druggists | got
them in Boston at cost of sixty cents
per pound. Take ten pounds of COM
mon bar soap. put In pan with a 1T
tie water and heat undisSolvcd. Take
out the cork from the bottle containing
the acid, and set it in hot water, which
| viii cause the acid TO become fluid;
| add this to the soap and stir well. Set
away to cool and you viii have a soap
at small cost that will be strong
enough to kill any vermln which in
fest domestic animals, and which will
cure barn itch or any cutaneous dis
eases to which they are Liable. 1t Is
| good to cleanse and heal sores, and Il
wash of It will be found good where
| animals are hide-bound and the skin
| out of condition.: It will be found good
| to wash the inside OF poultry houses
| TO render them sweet and Kill and pre-
| vent vermin. 1t is n cheap. safe and
sure remedy, and should find place
in all we'll regulated premises.

Cbeap Shelter for stock.

shelter for stock is one of the great
needs of farmers. 1t is costly to build
a barn and shed. but for simple pur-
poses of shelter farmers might make
greater use of their abundance OF
straw. In some localities it is custom
ary to burn this as the reldiest means
to get it out of the way. \ much bet
ter use might be made of it in con-
structing shelter for all kinds of stock,
both against rain and cold. A very
good plan is to make a frame Of poles,
and stack straw over them. This
work should be done at threshinS time,
but If it has been neglected it may be
lone at any later time. 1t pays richly
in health, thrift and in the saving OF
food, to provide shelter

Not many people know how the
name Of Bloomer came TO be applied
70 thu style of wOman's dress some
times called the divided skirt Mrs.
Amelia Bloomer. after whom the gar
ment was named, resides with her hus-
band in Council Bluffs, their residence
to-day being the one in which they took
mp their abode forty years ago, when
Council Bluffs, now a city of 25,OOO
people, was a somewhat struggling
village of 300 souls. Mrs, Boomer,
seventy-six years old, carries her years
easily her tifty-four years of married
life having been unmarried by other
than the tleeclest of temporary clouds.
1t was in 1851 That She began to wear
the costume which is now known
throughout the English-sptaking
world as the bloomer She was then
Ewing at Seneca Falls, \. Y, where
she was publishing Il temperance pa
per called the Lily. In addition TO
being prohibition advocate the pa
per also devoted considerable space
to the subject of woman suffrage. A
Mrs. Miller, who in 1851 paid a visit
TO Seneca Falls, appeared in the Dllur-
Gated dress, and Mrs. Bloomer pub
lished description of 1t. She ana
Elizabeth Cady Stanton adopted the
style and advocated it's general adop-
ton. Mrs. Bloomer wore the costume
on several lecture trips, and in this
way it became associated with and
finally known by her name. BY and
by Horace Greely took the subject up,
and was followed by other editors, the
result being that the bifurcated dress
became known all over the country as
the bloomer.

Matter and Motion.

Apart from matter, energy has in
real ! no existence. We cannot con-
ceive OF motion unless something
moves. of warmth unless something Is
heated. or of any of the various states
or conditions which are indications Of
energy unless Immediately associated
with matter. Hence the co-eXlstence
of energy with matter is to our minds
an inevitable conclusion. But now, let
Ills inquire, can matter for an instant
be considered apart from energy? Can
any one imagine Il body neither hot
nor cold. neither in motion nor at rest,
and not under the influence of some
attraction, some force or some other
form OF energy? No! should such be
the case for a space of time incon-
ceiyably short, that time would suffice
for the rendlng apart OF the universe.
Planets would fly asmder; life would
be instantly destroyed. The very
ether would become, in common with
all else. at once dlsorganlzeL, and the
universe, filled once more with impal-
pable world matter, would recon-
mence as it did millions OF centuries
ago, the building up OF new systems,
new worlds and new men.
Energy manifestS itself to us in varl-
ous ways. TO the physicist light.
heat. chemical action and all other
phenomena included in the category of
the physical world, are exhibitions Of
transformation of energy from one
(orm TO another The sum total of
energy in this world has never in
creased nor diminished Like the
matter in the universe it Is and will
always be an interchangeable quantity.

TIE ARDMOREITE has a better
opinion of the morals of the people
of Ardmore than TO charge that
they sanction or encourage the
performance to be offered tonight
by d crowd of bgazen celebrities
known as the Fanny Hill Bur

papers where they have been pro.
nounce their production as highly
indecent and dis ,ustingly immoral.
AT one place the authorities even
went far as t. cause the arrest
of the whole outfit and fined them
to the amount of $50. It is fair
to presume they will have a g ,od
house tonight and it is equally
fair to assume that anything We
may s,y will not deter any from
going who have their minds made
up TO that effect. It is not our

ARDMoREITE, and in fact as snlall
figure as is charged by every leg't
innate daily in either Oklahoma,
the I.diln Territory or North
Tex,s. The Gainesville Hesperian
has neve charged less than SI
per month. The Oklahoman did
wrong in starting out on cut rate
against an established institution
and we are glad to note that the
mistake was discovered so early

courage to correct it, trusting to
merit to enable them to meet
legitimate competition. The pat>
