Butter Prospects.

Looked at from almost any stand
point, it is healthy situation. Stocks
here are less than last year, exporters
having taken out the surplus, and the
condition Of the country generally sug-
gests an improved trade and higher
range Of values than we have been
having for some years past. Other
commodities are higher, and there is
every reason to believe that butter will
share in the improvement. The only
dark cloud in the horizon is oleomar-
garine. 1t is expected that our state
laws will give ample protection in New
York city, but if the counterfeit article
is sold so largely in the west and
south as it was last winter the chances
are that New York will have to take
care Of more than her share Of the but
ter product of the country.-Produce

MILK FEVER.
A Veterinary Gives Some Valuable
Suggestions For Dairymen.

Suggestions For Dairymen.
Germs can't grow any more than
seeds if they are not planted in soil
conducive to their termination, writes
Dr. C. S. Mead. It therefore becomes
cow owners to SO manage the COW
that she will be immune when the
time comes for the disease to manifest
itself, and that is always within loo
hours after giving birth to a calf, never
to be feared with a heifer's first calf,
rarely following q prolonged delivery
or a retained afterbirth, generally fol
lowing an easy, quick delivery and the
placenta soon passing away. In short,
it comes on when the owner is congrat-
ulating himself On the good luck the
cow has had in passing through giving
birth, always taking one Of the best
COWS in the herd and never one so
poor that it might have been a bless
ing to the owner had she had the dis
ease and died with it. Now, have
said the best COWS. This means a
good deal. First, it means we know
the ones to watch. It means a COW
that is bred for a purpose, and that
purpose is to give milk. This being
true, then the lesson is to learn to feed
and milk her just as long as her in
herent nature will yield milk, not say
to ourselves, 81 believe we had better
dry you off anyway, old cow" No;
that isn't cow sense, and it is a viola
ton Of her individual nature for us to
fight that nature by drying her of
simply because it is our belief. If she
is bred for milk and won't readily
dry off after 10 Or II months in lacta-
ton when fairly we'll fed, better by
far milk her the year through and
avoid one of the conditions which will
help wonderfully to have her q fit sub
ject for parturient apopleXy, or milk
fever If it is warm weather, don't
keep her, if dried off, in the barnyard
and feed timothy hay, as many do.
That may be preferable to letting her
run in the rich pasture, where she Will
be on full feed and make blood II she
can't make milk. That would be an
other condition favorable for the dis
ease. But give her an hours run on
the pasture morning and night and
keep her in the yard the rest of the
time. If in the winter or spring months
and she is not on pasture. give, il pos
sible, q feed of beets, turnips or cab
bage daily to keep the bowels little
relaxed.

TAHLEQUAH LETTER.
Matters of Interest from the
Cherokee Capital,

TAHLEQUAH. Dec. ..
The Cherokee national council
did a good days work yesterday.
The lower house passed joint
resolution requiring R. w. Walker
and C. l.. Bowden, custodians oi
the public buildings at Fort Glib
son, to make report of moneys
received by them. Walker op-
posed the measure vigorously. ].
S. Davenport supported the res
olution. Sam Sanders did not
want to compel Walker to report
and threatened to ask an investi-
CATION of the "nigger steal" of
S126, 900 if the matter was pressed;
after much argument the resolu-
ton was passed and sent to the
senate. Officers should be glad TO
report if they are not ashamed of
their reports and not wait until
they are compelled to do SO.
The senate and house have pass
ed delegation bill providing for
two delegates TO go TO Washing
ton.
A bill establishing an insurance
department for the Indian Terri
tory was introduced in the house
yesterday morning and out on it's
fret reading. The bill creates the
office of commissioner of insurance
whose duty it is to examine char
ters of insurance companies and
see that no company does business
in the Indian Territory unless it is
reliable company, and give the
humbug companies a black eye.
1t is a good bill but it has poor
chances of making it through at
this term on account of the time
being too limited for a thorough
and mature consideration of so
great a measure.
The national council by concur
rent resolution recommends Robt.
B. Ross for the next clerk OF the
United States court for the North
ern district of the Indian Terri
tory. Mr.. Ross is well qualified
for the position.
The senate passed the following
bills and resolutions today:
An act to reduce the number Of
executive secretaries:
Whereas, it is not deemed neces-
ssry to require the services of
more than two executive secreta-
ries, and,
Whereas, to continue the num-
Der as now employed is almost
useless expenditure of funds and
not warranted by the present gov
ernmental form OF the Cherokee
nation.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1899-12-07

Therefore, Nit enacted by TIE
