Keep the Good Mares.

There is always temptation before
the owner of good mare. If times
are bad she is the only thing that will
bring fair price. If prices are good
she is wanted by somebody for breed
ing The man who has horses and
needs to sell something is therefore
likely to part with the best-iust the

of good mares have gone to market

rarely pays to let go of an exception

shown that the time to keep them is

Corn Valuable for Fattentng.

Corn has always been the staple
grain food for hogs and is the best
and cheapest for finishing off, to
make the animals ready for butcher
ing. 1t makes the meat very firm,
gives it a fine flavor and makes a bet
ter lard than can be obtained from
any other food. It is strictly a fatten-
ing food, however, and is not the best
grain for young animals or for breed
ing stock. When young animals have
an abundant range with a good sup
ply of heterogeneous foods like alfalfa,
clover, vetches and COW peas, corn
makes a valuable addition to the ra-
ton, but should not be given in eX-
cess, and will usually be found more
profitable if mixed with shorts, bran,
or some other feed.-Farmers Review.

IL is pity that all of them have
not been gifted with so much com

retired to private life, they are states
men out of jobs, and, as such, they.
cannot command the respect and
adulation which formerly seemed to
be their natural rights. People here

Z ese eX-statesmen might better
stand foremost in the communities
whence they came than be run down

These statements of fact are called
forth by the presence here of an ex-
ssenator who has been trying to lobby
through bill in which he is said to
have contingent fee of 100000

SENATOR Blank has practically killed the
measure; and for a very good, substan-
tiai reason. Senators do not feel like
encouraging the employment of ex-
senators as lobbyists. 1t lowers the
dignity of the senate to have an ex-
senator coming upon the floor of the
senate, as he has a right to do, and
acting as an accredited lobbyist. For
this reason alone | know of many SEN
ators who will vote against the bill,

a Problem That Puzzles Many.

Which is most profitable, to go into
poultry raising for the sale of flesh
and eggs to consumers, or to go into
the raising of breeders to sell to other
people? Well, that depends on a good
many things. The man with no cap
itaI is not likely to make much trying
to raise fancy poultry, unless he is
more than ordinarily fortunate in Sc
curing customers for his breeding
birds and eggs. Tt takes money to
find customers after the eggs and
breeding birds are produced. But if
a man has the money he can find the
customers. Inc finding of a market
for fresh eggs is not difficult, and
poultry meat can always be sold at
market prices.-Farmers' Review.

IMMEDIATE TITLES.
Creek Agreement Provides

The Greek agreement provides
for the immediate conveyance of
title TO the allotments of the lands
of the citizens of the Creek nation
it is as follows:
Immediately after the ratiica-
tion ofthis agreement by congress
and the tribe, the secretary of the
interior shall furnish the principal
chief with blank deeds necessary
for all conveyances herein provid-
ed for, and the principal chief
shall thereupon proceed to execute,
in due form, and deliver to each
citizen who has selected, or may
hereafter select, his allotment,
which is not contested, a deed
conveying to him all right, title
and interest of the Greek nation,
and of all other citizens, in and to
the lands embraced in his aliot-
ment certificate, and such other
land as may have been selected by
him for equalization of his allot-
ment.

had been favorably reported
on by the Indian affairs commit tee
of the senate. Since the Cherokee
strip payment in 1894, Messrs. Nc
Gowan anG Peel, of Washington,
and S. B. Dawes, of Muskogee,
have been associated as firm in
the prosecution of this claim, and
they now represent by power of
attorney, about seven-eighths OF
the intermarried white citizens of
the Cherokee nation. The bill
above referred to has on three diff
ferent occasions passed the senate,
but always met with opposition in
the house. Now that it is through
the house and has been favorably
reported on by the Indian affairs
committee of the senate, these at
torneys think they can almost
hear their clients money jingle as
is it being counted out TO them.
There is something like $4,000

the suit that will follow it, and the
Cherokee nation having practical

claim, seems without any defence
whatever to it.-Muskogee Tim es.

MORE TROUBLE FOR cLAREMORE.
All Mails Passing Through the POST
office rust be Fumigated.

Postmaster Bessey received or
ders Thursday from the postal au-
thorities at Washington in
structing him to begin at
once the fumigation of all
mail matter passing through this
office. The order was issued by
the department at the request of
Cherokee medical board, or to be
more explicit, at the instance of
Drs. Fortner and Fite.
The apparatus for iumigating pur-
poses arrived yesterday morning.
1t is a very crude and simple de-
vice, being nothing more than a
box four feet in length and about
fifteen inches square. One side
has a door with leather hinges
and there are four shelves, or par
titions made OF screen wire. The
mail matter after having three or
four small holes punched through
each parcel, is placed on these
screens, pot of burning sulphur
is then placed below, the door is
closed and the smallpox bugs per-
ish in the fumes. 1t requires eight
hours to fumigate by this process,
and that meas that all mail from
Claremore, or nearly all of it, will
be delayed from twelve or twenty
four hours at this office before
starting on its journey. This is
going to prove a serious inconveh-
ience 10 citizens. .-Progress.
