An Impressive Ceremony.

Monday evening Marietta was
crowded with Knights of the Pyth-
ian order who came from almost
every town on the Santa Fe in the
Territory for the purpose of insti-
tuting a lodge of that order at this
place. They were met at the de-
pot by a delegation of resident and
prospective knights who conducted
the visitors to hotels where prepa-
rations for their reception had
been extensively made.
At s o'clock all repaired to the
Masonic hall where Smyrna Lodge
No. 81 was duly organized by the
initiation of eleven candidates and
the installation of officers. The
ceremonies of initiation and in
stallation were conducted by a
team of the Territory Grand Lodge,
consisting of w. H. Walker,
grand chancellor, Purcell; S. II.
Davis, grand vice chancellor, Da-
Wis; j.. NJ. London, grand prelate,
Ardmore; G. NJ. Yarbrough, grand
master of works, Ardmore; a. H.
Constant, grand keeper of records
and seal, Pauls Valley; Henry
Baum, grand inside guardian,
Ardmore; G. G. Kean, grand out
side guardian, Wynnewood.
The following officers for the
new lodge were duly elected and
installed:
E. S. Wiseman, C. c.; R. D..
Trieves, V. c.; j. D. Sibert, P;

Besides the eleven candidates
introduced Monday night, there
were three old members of the or
der who entered as charter mem
bers of the new lodge, and there
are twenty more candidates who
are to be initiated as soon as the
new lodge can get down to work.
The work of the Grand Lodge
team was greatly appreciated and
enjoyed by the new members and
old ones as well, the work being
exemplified and illustrated with q
stereOptician. The work was only
finished at 7 o'clock Tuesday
morning, the session lasting all
night with but a short intermis.

This assertion is based on critical OBJ

stronger is my conviction of it's truth.
After watching gang of Italians

nearly every enc who would smoke
pipe, my selection being put to the
proof as soon as bread and pork were
gotten out of the way. Do not under
stand me to say that all men of strong
fiber smoke pipes. By no means Some

GRAIN ROOM ADDITION.

most barns it is not convenient to pro-
vide a feed room from the present ac-
commodations. In such a case a small
room can we'll be added to the stable
in the manner shown in the cut, max
ing the addition where it can be con-
veniently reached from the interior.
The door is seen to be placed high up
in this addition, and opening upon a
small platform. A load of grain can
thus be backed up to the door and very
easily unloaded, no lifting being re-
quired. Such an added room can be
of small cost, and would save many
steps and much valuable time in daily
bringing feed from a distant building,

SHIPPING LIVE STOCK.
Mistakes for Which the Feeders q
the Country Pay q Vast Amount
Every Year.

A large majority of feeders make
mistake in holding fat cattle that art
ready for market; for instance, mar
is feeding 100 to $50 head of steers
and there are, say, one-half or two
thirds of the cattle that are fat and
could be shipped at any time. Very
few men will ship them out, for the
simple reason that their cattle are not
ready, and they hold on to the good
ones until the entire bunch is ready.
We are continually advising our Gus
toners to ship out all the fat cattle as
fast as ready. By doing so they divide
their risk. The cattle that are left
have better chance to improve. and
there is more profit to be made in this
way on account Of the small margin
there is in keeping matured steers, as
this class of cattle make little gain
compared with habitat steers.
Another mistake that is made is in
shipping cattle off grass. We have
had a number of instances where our
customers have shipped cattle that
were fed on the grass without putting
them in dry lot for day or two be-
fore shipment and feeding nothing but
corn, oats and hay, and, by not doing
so, the cattle on their arrival look
grassy, their hair looks shiny, they
shrink almost double what they would
if handled in the proper way, and they
don't sell within ten to fifteen cents
per hundred land in some cases more)
of cattle that are put in a dry lot and
fed nothing but corn, oats and hay be-
fore shipment. Overlooking is very
bad feature, but we might add that we
are not troubled as much in this re-
spect as we were before. the charge of
freight by cents per 100 pounds be-
came established. A little advice On
this subject is still quite necessary, as
we have customers frequently who
overload their cattle, and, as a result,
make an extra shrinkage; they do not
look as we'll at market, which, as you
are aware, affects the sale fully ten
cents per hundred pounds. this means
direct loss to the shipper of ten cents
per hundred and the extra shrinkage,
which is quite large item, that could
be saved with proper management

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

Corn smut will not injure cattle un-
less they eat too much of it.
Hogs will fatten on alfalfa, but
should be finished off with some grain.
Infuse some new blood into the
swine herd and you will find that it
pays.
At night in hot weather animals
should be kept out of doors as much as
possible.
Is the animal painting and no shade
or water to partially relieve the dis
tress? Bad. very bad.
The mule is more healthy than the
horse, eats less, requires less care, will
do as much work and some mules are
good drivers.
Flies do not like kerosene oil, and
just touching the hair of the animal
with sponge saturated with the oil
will help keep the flies off.
The country butcher is an advantage
to the farmer because he will buy an
animal occasionally and furnish fresh
meat for the farmers table.
An alarming report from swine
breeders is that there is not much buy
ing of pure bred swine. This is detri-
ment to the farm breeders, we fear.
Keep the standard high, and that can
only be done by an occasional intro
duction of new blood.-Western Plow-

Guinea Fowl. ON Farms,

Every farmer ought to have a few
guinea fowls to add to the variety of
feathered life on the farm. They are
also good protection against such
depredators as hawks and other enc
mics of young chickens, their loud
:ries on the approach of any such in
truders giving signal to the weaker
FOWL to make its escape. Guineas are
q rather wild fowl and will not bear
confinement well. It is not best to
Keep them unless there is good range
The hens are great layers, but will
mostly steal their nests, and will bring
off very large broods. The young
guinea fowl are very hardy, and not
SO subject to disease as are other
fowl

THE RED CROSS SERVICE.
How to Go About 1t to. Enlist as q
Soldier of the Army
of Nurses.

Many inquiries are received every
day as to How to join the Red Cross"
For the benefit of those patriotic and
gentle women who desire such infor-
nation we print the following, taken
from the official circular as regards
the present war times. In time of
peace there are other requirements,
which are stricken out when there is
q great demand for nurses in the field:
In order to become sister of the
Red Cross the applicant must be of
unquestionable character"
In cases of emergency, such as that
of the prevailing Spanish-American
war, nurses may be enlisted for special
need upon presentation of certificates
from some reputable training school
for nurses without taking the six
months postgraduate course other
wise required; but it should be under
stood that at the close of the service
in question their relation with the Red
Cross ceases until they can be gradu.
ated in the regular way.
In this connection, however, credit
will be given for character of work
done during enlistment. The certiff-
Gates mentioned are:
(a). Certificate of health and char
acter.
(b). Certificate of graduation from
training school. =
Sisters must be within call at all
times, ready to respond to any order
authorized by the president of the
American National Red Cross.
The institution is absolutely neutral
and nonsectarian, not in the sense of
Ignoring but of respecting every ma
tlonality and all religions.
No salary is paid but during actual
service the best available provision is
made for the support and require
ments of the sisters. In addition, the
applicant will be given blank, which
must be filed in with the age, nation
ality, source of education, experience
in nursing, health, habits, etc.-Cincin.
