Dirt roads will solve the monopoly
Of the railroads. The farmers will
cluster about busy centers, content
with smaller farms. Busy centers,
therefore, will increase. A back coun-
try that is handsomely accessible is
the very life of the busy center, and
its support.
Then, railroad managers, in order to
maintain their expensive equipment of
men and material, will so conduct their
roads, with a view to local traffic, as to
tickle the farmer with a victory never

Railroads are desirable, but they are

ABOUT OLEOMARGARINE.
Science shows That the stuff Ia Almost
Indigestibic.

Science shows That the stuff Ia Almost
Indigestibic.
1t is a favorite saying with the ad-
vocateS of oleomargarine that it is just
as digestible and wholesome as butter.
This is not true, and in the nature of
things cannot be true. First as to its
digestibility. Butter melts in the
human stomach at 500 to "a. 40 degrees
and passes readily into pancreatic
emulsion and digestion. AS will be
seen this is at a point below the nat
ural heat of the human body. There
is no gastric or nervous strain neces-
sary to eXpel it from the stomach, for
il is a substance designed by nature
for food in its own unchanged state.
Oleomargarine melts at 105 to los. 81
degrees. The neat of the human body
is not sufficient to emulsify it and it
remains a dead, inert substance, and
causes severe nervous tension and a
forced gastric action to eXpel it from
the stomach. This fact alone will
show that it is not as digestible
as butter. Besides it is not as whole
some. Invariably butter advertises its
own condition. No a or woman
need be deceived thereby. Any adj
mixture of deleterious elements is told
at once in a loss of flavor. 1t is COM
posed of what are known as the basic
fats, stearine, ~oleine, palmatine and a
number of other delicate favoring oils,
all highly conducive to digestion. Oleo-
margarine is composed of ~stearine
and pallnatine mainly and in a condi-
ton unfit for digestion. 1t is rendered
at a low temperature, not above 40
degrees Fahrenheit, and any man
ought To know~that this is not enough

Convict Labor on Roads.

1t would pay everywhere to con-
struct the best macadamized roads,
and the work should be undertaken
by the state where long thoroughfares
are required. We have often sug-
gested that it need cost very little if
the convicts and criminals who cannot
be given their liberty because of their
unrestrained ~depravity were employed
at the task. This would effect a
double object. 1t would build splen-
did roads at small EOS throughout
the length and breadth of the land,
and it would tend to restrain crime.

the highwayman to keep him in pris-
on, and better cared for, on the whole.

HANDLING FEED STUFF
Convenient Arrangement Seen In An Ohio
Dairyman's Barn.

NohfthlenI arrangement Seen In an Ohio
Dairymsn's Barn.
Many devices 10 the economical and
convenient handling of feed stuffs
about the stables have been FREQUENT
ly described and illustrated, but the
accompanying sketch may be of value
to many farmers, especially dairymen
who have silos. The principle upon
which these bins are constructed is
such that their capacity can be en-
larged or diminished as desired.
The Illustration was recently
sketched at the dairy barn of Mr.. E..
Il. Jones. 1t strikes the writer as a
most excellent idea to have the feed
bins on either side of the openings out
of the silo, with a box 2 feet deep. 2
feet 4 inches wide, and 3 feet by 10
inches long, into which the ensilage is
thrown from the silo and the meal
taken out of the bin standing at either
side and mixed with the silage. These
bins measure 2 feet 4 inches in hori-
zOntal depth from front to silO, but can
be made any length desired. The
throat from the lower edge OF the in
ward slanting board should be about
on a level with the hinges of the door
and an S-inch space allowed for heavy
meals and 10 inches for bran.
One of the chief advantages of these
bins is that they are "a feet deep and
the feed is raised to the top of the
barn by a rope and emptied into them,
thus saving a large amount of area on
lower floor. The studding is made of
3x4-inch material and sided up with
surfaced hemlock, which is cheap, rat
and mouse proof, and having the
edges beveled so as to incline toward
the inside of the bin, is just as good as
matched material.
Such bins can be economically con-
Structed on the inside of two-story
barns, extended from the square to the
ground on lower story, with doors
opening at intervals OH the side, so
that they can be easily filled with

Fatal Shooting An ay Occurs In a Hotel In

Hennessey, o. T., April 1.-(SpeciaD
"A report was received here today of
a shooting affair at Watonga. the
county seat Of Blaine county, last Fri
day. The affair is said to have arisen
over a blanket between A. R. Evans
Of O'Keene and DR.. Babb of Home
stead. The two men went to Watonga
and put up at hotel. Babb, in
joking way, commenced to pull the
blankets off Of Evans when Evans be-
came enraged. it is said, and drew a
revolver and shot Babb. the ball strik-
ing below the nose and coming out
about the ear. Babb is not expected 10
live.
Sheriff Wilson and some o. his depu.
ties proceeded to arrest Evans, when
he started to gent away. Sheriff vii.
son then fired two shots at him. one
grazing his side the other his creek.
He was finally overpowered and taken
TO Jail.
Excitement is running high and
there is talk Of lynching. The sheriff
has placed about n dozen deputies at
the jail to guard the prisoner
He has been placed under 81. 100 bonds

and tissues OF the body are not satisfied
with their nouriShment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and if the blood is thin. impure.
or insufficient, they are in I state of re-
volt. Their complaints are made to
the brain, the king of the body, through
the nervous system, and the result of
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable explana.
