OKLAH0MANS IN WASHINGTON

ulancFe Fsigl.


Especial Correspondence of The Eagle.)
washington. Dec 29-By two efforts Of
his. Dennis Flynn again has demonstrat-
e dhis value to the people Of Okla
homa.
These two things are the passage Of the
item in the urgent deficiency appropria-
ton bill. which is now a law. in regard
to the Kiowa-Commanche country and
definitely fixing the opening Of the same;
and the bill recently introduced in regard
to the disposition of counties, their seats,
land Offices etc, in the new country.
When Flynn returned to the capital this
winter, he recognized. as everyone else
did, that something must be done with
the -Comanche country. Allot-
ments had ceased because Of lack of APP
preparation. The agents OF the depart
ment Of the interior had stopped work.
There was a hitch everywhere and much
doubt existed as to when the opening
would be. Flynn went to Uncle joe
Cannon, who succumbed to the Flynn in
huences in regard to free homes last
spring. and the famous chairman Of the
committee Of appropriations consented to
let Flynn's measure 90 in on the urgent
appropriation bill
The fun text of the provision follows:
For completing the allotments provided
for in The agreement with the Com
anche Kiowa and Apache Indians IN Ok
lahoma. ratified By Act approved June
g. 1900 including the necessary resurveys,
seventy-dve thousand dollars, or SO
much thereof as may Zoe necessary: Pro-
vided. that the secretary of the interior
IS hereby authorized, I'm his discretion.
TO contract with responsible parties for
Tetracing the lines and reestablishsrg
the monuments found necessary IN max
ing the auotments; and ne is hereby au-
thorized to extend the time for making
said allotments and opening the land to
settlement for a period not exceeding
eight months from the sixth day Of De-
cember. nineteen hundred; Provided FUR
Their that the secretary Of the interior
may temporarily employ such persons as
may be necessary to make such aIot-
ments."
The bill is now a law and the opening
must be by August G. 1901
In his bin to dispose Of the Kiowa-
Commanche country and fixing land Off
ces etc, Flynn has showed aHu.y ana
sense for which he ought to be thanked
by every man who settles in the new
country The two provisions which
should appeal most to the settlers are
those of the sale OF the couuty-seats.

Experiment. I'm Pig Feeding.

Some extensive experiments in pig.
feeding were recently concluded at the
Maryland experiment station, and the
following conclusions have been pub
lished:
1. That with some rations the gains
on pigs could be produced as low as
21s cents per pound.
2. In all the test where properly
compounded rations were used pork
was produced at profit when the pigs
were not allowed to become too old.
3. The cost of producing pound of
pork increases with the age Of pig.
4. The aim should be to produce
from $50 to 2O0-pound pigs at six to
seven months old for the greatest
profit.
5. Skim milk was found to have a
feeding value for pigs equal to fully
double the price charged at most Of
the creameries of the state.
G. Separator skim milk at one-half
cent per gallon, and linseed and glut-
en- meal at S15 per ton, have about the
same value for balancing rations for
pig feed.
7. Gluten meal was found to be more
economical for balancing rations for
pigs than linseed meal.

duced pork economically. ly."-Farmers

DISEASE IN CATTLE.
The Importance of Testing All Beef
Cattle for signs of Tuber-
cuInr Infection.

"I don't know whether one person
In a thousand appreciates the i'm
portance of testing beef cattle for tu-
berculosis," said physician who has
given much attention to the subject
of pure food. "The average man re-
CARDS it as either doctors fad or q
pretext of giving somebody job, and
as far as safeguarding public health
is concerned he smiles ironically and
says he has never seen any difference
in the number OF consumptives. I
would like to call the attention of such
skeptics to a curious fact. There is
less consumption among strictly or
thodox Jews than any people in the
world. In New York city, where sta
tistics on the subject bave been care
fully collected, 1t was found last year
that the tuberculosis death rate
among Polish Jews was 76 to 100000.
while among all other classes it was
over AIT. These figures are really
startlng,a warranta q careful inquiry
into the cause of such singular inn
munity. New York's Polish Jew col.
ony, as you probably know, is made
up almost entirely of very poor people
who work in sweat shops, live in
swarming tenements, and have scarce.
ly an opportunity for cleanliness OF
sanitation. 1t is certain that none oi
these conditions protect them from
consumption, and the only possible
explanation seems to lie in the fact
that they are rigid observers Of the
Mosaic law, and never eat meat that
might be tainted with tuberculosis
This theory is borne out by statistics
from other cities, and everywhere the
orthodox Hebrew exhibits strange i'm
munity from the disease that Is now
recognized as the great scourge Of thu
American people. The public gener
ally Is beginning to wake up to the
necessity OF doing something to pro
tect itself against the ravages Of con
sumption, and precautionary legisla
ton is being talked about in nearly
every state in the union. In my opin
ion the scientific inspection Of bee
cattle is the first thing that ought t.
be attended to. II anybody can ex
plain away the facts I have men
toned, or any other hypothesis, II
like to hear fro mthem."--New Or

wastcful Farming.

American farmers are the most
wasteful in the world, and American
farming the most wasteful business In
our most wastefulcountry. Theywaste
land by keeping many acres unused on
which they waste money by paying
taxes. They waste their crops by lesv-
ing u large portion to die and dry up
in the fields, or they leave their grain
standing until wasted by wind, rain.
insects and fungi, or shock 1t and leave
it to take the weather as 1t comes
They waste feed after saving 1t, by
feeding in a wasteful manner. They
waste the fertility of the fields by care
less methods of cropping, while the
home supply of manure is permitted
to waste by means of sun and rain.
They waste their substance by buying
on credit (for which privilege they pay
liberal tax in over-charges), or bor-
rowing money for which they have
to pay interest as well as principal.
They waste tools and implements by
leaving them exposed to weather, and
then must further waste valuable time
working with ineffective tools. Waste
is found in the kitchen, and every de.
partment of the househould, as well
us in the fields and barn. The success
of German farmers, Chinese farmern
or farmers from any other country, 10
mainly attributable to their practice
of system of farm economy learned
where economy or starvation were al.
ternatiyes. Here the alternative is not
so exacting. 1t is merely economy or
comparative poverty. In this country
farmer may live and emerge from
the years business without actual loss,
and at the same time waste enough
to feed foreigner, or several horses,
or enough to fatten beef or two, or
several hogs. Rigid economy may not
be actually imperative here, but 1t Is
judicious.-Farm and Ranch.

The southwestern section of the
United States possesses, theoretically,
every advantage for dairying. The
thing that is wanting is the practical
application of natural advantages. The
climate is mild, the feed abundant and
cheap, with green pasturage possible
all the year round, and nll the grain
feeds used in the rich dairy sections
growing luxuriantly, and in the home
of the great staple ftod, cotton seed.
or its by-products; and yet CONNER
cial dairying in all this favored Sec
tion is insignificant. Private dairies,
wherever judiciously managed, are
profitable. Why should not more en-
tenrive plants be equally so? Large
creamery experiments made several
years ago, without proper knowl-
edge Of the economies Of the industry,
failed. The failures were due to lack
of practical knowledge OF the details,
TO too expensive plants, 10 insufficient
cows, both in number and quality, and
to want of specific knowledge on the
part OF cow owners. 1t is about time
the subject should he taken up again.
The experience of the past in the
southwest has been passed through
in the most prosperous dairy sections
of the country. The first creameries
in the western states were failures,
but learning wisdom from their errors,
the people amended their policy and
low prosperity reigns in the creamery
and dairy sections Of the west. Good
cows, good feed and plenty of 1t, and
thorough knowledge Of the business.
are The requisites for darying. We
can have all of tho sc, If we turn our
attention to the natter Farm end
