vINITA NEVER PARTISAN

Vinita has earned the reputa.
tion Of being the best governed
town in the Indian Territory, and
this reputation dates back for
nearly a generation. II is also a
matter Of history that the voters
Of this town have never divided
on party line. Even under the
old Cherokee regime the Downing
and the National party lines were
never drawn, but the elections
were always conducted independ.
ent OF PARTISAN politics. Perhaps
no one thing has contributed more
to the success of the city az a
peaceable and law abiding com.
munity than the fact that politics
have been strenuously kept out.
The independent movement has
spread TO the great cities Of the
United States and the election of
Rolla Wells in ST. Louis last year
is a prominent example.

There are a few men in Vinita,
and they are comparatively few,
who have done all in their power
to embarrass the municipal gov.
eminent during the year just
about to close. 1t is not the part
of good citizenship to try to make
1t as difficult as possible for Of
ticers TO enforce the law. The
man who is eternally criticising
the administration Of affairs in this
town will generally be found to
have a large sore spot on him,
which he insists on keeping raw

The necessity for paved streets
is manifest to every observant
citizen in Vinita. The con.

too much for dirt roads. II is a
great item Of expense but the
city would as well get ready to
meet it. It will prove to be a
matter of economy to do It right
at thestart. Sewerage will also have
to be provided and II should not
be neglected as the health OF the
community is largely dependent
on 1t.

made In 1901. Mr.. Adams lived a
large part of his life in Ohio and was

OF 81 years. Ever since his day Ohio

A Permanent Creamery at Purdue.

n permanent creamery al PURDUE.
Beginning early in May, Purdue
University will operate the creamery
equipment of its Dairy Department on
a commercial basis, securing milk
regularly from farmers in the vicin.
ity. This step was prompted by the
difficulty experienced in securing
temporary supply of milk at such
times as 1t was needed for use of the
students. The equipment includes
the latest styles of separators, COM
bined churns, watts and cream ripen'
ers. This equipment. with supply
of milk, regularly, will make possible
the study Of many questions not here
tofore touched on by the work OF the
Indiana Experiment Station. Prof.
II. E. Van Norman has secured H. N.
Slater of Fairmount. Mimi, as assist
ant in the creamery work Of his de-
partment. Mr.. Slater is creamery
butter maker of wide experience, a
graduate of the Minnesota Dairy
School, and has served as instructor
in the Starter and Cream Ripening
Work at Minnesota He was also an
instructor in the Creamery Course at
Purdue this past winter. Indiana
creamery men, butter makers and
dairymen should take advantage OF
the establishment of a well-equipped
dairy department at Purdue by calling
upon them for such information and
assistance as they can render, feeling
sure it will be cheerfully given.

Cream for the Creamery.

There are good many things that
our creameries will have to do before
they succeed in getting first-class
cream for use in making butter, espe-
cially when the gathered cream sys-
TEN is followed. One manager sug-
gests that every creamery should fur
nish the haulers with canvas covers
for their cans to keep out the dust
that so often gets into the crease
where the covers at in and are after
ward rinsed out with the cream when
it is poured from the cans. He also
suggests that it would be a paying
investment to furnish the haulers
with soap.stone stoves or some
other kind Of heaters in winter, so
that the cream will not freeze, as It
is not possible to make first-class but
ter from frozen cream. In the sum.
mer time haulers Of cream should be
required to be at the. creamery at a
certain time, as several hours un-
necessary exposure of cream to the
suns heat is likely to injuriously af-
feet its quality.

Value of Pasture for pIqs

A recent bulletin of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture quotes
G.. w. Waters as follows:
I'VE will now state two propositions
bearing on economy of production.
First, while the pig is not considered
primarily grazing animal, from the
fact that he cannot be expected to
make gains and grow fat If turned
onto common pasture grass like cat.
tie, sheep or mules. yet, as matter
of fact the pig will make better re-
turns for the amount of grass eaten
than any other farm animal More
over, the pasture will increase the
efficiency and value of the grain fed
In connection with it. The second
proposition is this: The pig is a grass
feeder and will cat too much of rich
feeds, as grain, more tnan he can
use economically, more than he can
digest well, consequently greater
gains from given amount of corn
are obtained If the pig is fed less than
he can or will eat. This statement
applies with especial force In cases of
a long feeding period. The two propo-
sitions just announced, are brought
out in thJ following report of tests
made at the Wisconsin station, six
lots of pigs being used:
Lot l, full fed, in a dry lot, gained
LIS pounds per day and used 537
pounds of corn in making 100 pounds
Of sain.
Lot 2, full fed, on clover pasture,
gained 1.30 pounds per day, and used
AT pounds of corn in making 100
pounds Of gain.
Lot 3, three-fourths full, on clover
pasture, gained 1.20 per day and used
377 pounds of corn in making 100
pounds of gain.
Lot 4. one-half full, clover pasture,
gained 81 pounds per day and requir-
ed 352 pounds of corn to make 100
pounds OF gain.
Lot 5, one-fourth full, clover pas.
ture, gained "a pounds per day, and
required 243 pounds of corn TO make
100 pounds of gain.
Lot 5, no gain, clover pasture,
gained SO pounds per day.
I'm lot 2 there is sudden drop over
lot / in the amount of corn required.
But in lot 3 there is a still larger
drop. Nearly three bushels less Of
corn is required to produce 100 pounds
of gain over dry lot feeding. For
growing hogs still larger reduction
of corn is advisable. The rate of gain
is slower, but it is vastly cheaper. It
is however wise practice to full feed
for the last 80 days before market
ing"
