ises to be the most important yet held
by the association.
Among the most Important subjects
which will be discussed and acted
upon are the adoption OF some plan
to oppose the contemplated merging
Of the packing plants of the country:
opposition to the removal of the tariff
on wool, hides, meats and live stock;
to urge Congress to Immediately pass

amendment to the census act to as to

for unloading live stock in transit
from twenty-eight to forty hours; the
practicability of cooperation in mar

can be done to improve the present
laws governing forest reserves and
the public domain.
The number of delegates will reach
more than 1850. and this number will
be increased by alternutcs and visit
ing stockmen to 10000 who will rep
resent every state and territory in the
Union. The convention will last
through four days, and the citizens of
Kansas City have raised n fund of

INDIANS DESTROY
COLORADO GAME

Denver, Nov. 29-1n his biennial re-
port to the governor, Game Commits
,ioner Harris deals in plain terms with
the game situation as relating to the
depredations of the Ute Indians from
the reservation in Utah. and makes
plain charges against Agent Myton OF
the Uintah reservation. He intimates
that the Indians are encouraged by the
agent to violate the Colorado game
laws, and charges that he even detect
ed Agent Myton in an attempt to take
two deer from the state without per.
nit. After telling of the slaughter Of
game by the Indians he says:
my Investigations lead me to be-
lieve that these raids are encouraged
by the Indian agents for the purpose OF
allowing the Indians in their charge to
procure what meat they require and
thus save the rations. which. obvious
ly, are not issued during the time OF
the raid and for some time thereafter.
This state of affairs has existed for six
years.
"Unless extreme measures are re-
sorted to by federal authorities to
force agents to do their duty, extermi-
nation Of the deer in this state Is but
"a question of a few years. The insin-
certify of the many promises made by
Indian Agent Myton to prevent the
many raids may best be Judged by the
fact that 1 had the pleasure last year
of arresting the gentleman himself for
violating the game law"
Commissioner Harris relates in de-
tail his encounter with Indians in Oc-
tober, in which he was shot and says
he killed an Indian. He declares that
the western slope settlers are afraid
of the redskins and do not give the
game wardens proper support. He
makes the following recommendations
for amendment of the game laws: To
allow the killing of but one deer. a
closed season of five years on elk and
antelope; hunters license for non,
resident hunters of $50; taxidermist's
license of 500; giving the state the
right to appeal in game cases from a
justice court to the higher courts and
tho right TO change of venue.

Asparagus.

Asparagus is found growing In very
few gardens in Oklahoma. 1t Is easily
grown and makes q very nice dish in
early spring when people are hungry
for fresh vegetables. The plants can
be grown from seed, but 1t Is best to
start the patch from clumps OF roots
as It will be three or four years before
the seedlings are large enough to pro-
duce good stems. The plants should
be set in rows five feet apart and the
plants four feet apart in the row.
The plants should be placed SO the
crowns will. be about six inches be.
low the surface of the soil. The bed
should receive good clean cultivation
in the summer and q good coating of
manure in the winter. The old stems
snould be removed in the fall. There
are several methods of forcing the
plants into early growth in the spring.
A simple method of forcing enough for
family use is to dig some large clumps
from the patch, retaining as much soil
as possible with the roots and place
on a hot bed. Keep the roots well
watered and growth will start in few
days. Good clumps will furnish several
cuttings but are of little value after
being forced in this way. Another
method is to spread fresh manure
deep enough over the ground to heat.
This method acts much slower than
the one just described but doesn't de-
s.roy the plants.-Bulletin Oklahoma
Station.

Proper samplina of Milk.

The sampling and testing of milk to
obtain the yearly record is often a
source of error with the average
dairyman. This is not due so much
to ignorance as to carelessness. Com
posite samples should be taken of the
milk for not less than three consecu-
tive days, at least once each month.
1t is also very important that they
be taken at the same time and near
the middle of each month. These
samples should be thoroughly mixed
by pouring from one vessel to another.
before taking the test sample. With
a little care and judgment, the amount
of butter produced by n COW for ono
year, can be gotten very accurately
by this method. OF course, in making
weekly tests, a separate sample should
be taken at each milking. II tho
sampling and testing Is not done prop
erly, the results thus obtained will be-
worse than useless, as they will mis-
lead not only the owner himself but
all others who are interested in tho
welfare of the herd.-J. A. Danks at

words about seed corn. Now is the

Is my opinion from twenty years ex'

most perfect ears and throw them Into
the front end OF wagon. At night tio
them with twine. putting 20 or 20 ears
together. Then take a short piece OF
twine and tic them In tho center.
Drive some large spikes Into tho cell
Ing OF the cellar and hang tho corn
there until tho following April.
have followed this practice for years
and have never failed to have n good
stand Of corn from seed 40 secured.
This Is the secret of n good crop. In
the spring Il will lie longer In tho
ground without rottin.. will come up
stronger and Will produce more stalks
with ears on them than seed corn
kept In any other way. II takes per
feet seed corn to mako n perfect
stand. Good seed also gives an carly
maturing corn and saves a great deal
OF labor and timc.-A. 7. Evans. Knox
