JUST A PLAIN FRAUD.
a ScOundrel Who Wanted n Dairy
School to Violate the Law

l was somewhat surprised a few
pound containing borax came to the
Wisconsin Dairy school and tried to
sell us some of his preservative to use
in milk and other dairy products in
which we were interested. says E. III.
Harrington of the Wisconsin Dairy
audacity the man showed in attempt
ing to induce such an institution as
this to buy and promote the use of a
compound which is prohibited by state
law.
I presume all dairymen know that
there is law in the state of Wisconsin
forbidding the addition of any sub
stance to milk for the purpose of keep
ing it in a sweet condition until it
reaches the consumer. Such preserva-
tives are simply an attempt to cover up
the neglect and the lack of cleanliness
which often cause milk to sour when
it is shipped to cities or delivered to
creameries and cheese factories.
I received somewhat the same shock
today as was given me by this man
who tried to sell us a preservative for
our dairy school products several years
ago. The agent who visited us today
was promoting the sale of compound
which he claimed would increase the
weight of butter Is per cent. He stat
ed that to convince me Of the great
r.:
he would place butter in churn, add
three-fourths Of pint of milk to every
pound of butter, then use small guam
tity Of his patent substance and make
product which he termed butter and
which he claimed was better favored
than the best creamery or dairy butter
made by any one. I questioned him
somewhat about the composition of the
butter he would make in this way, and
he stated he did not know what it
would contain, but he did know that
the amount of butter made would be
increased rs per cent and that the prod
uct would be far superior in quality to
that of the butter he started with.
Taking his statements as given,
which were that three-fourths Of pint
Of milk is added to every pound of but
ter and that the butter is increased 70
per cent, we can readily see what hap
pens in his process of making butter.
Three-fourths Of pint Of milk will
contain at least one-half pint of water,
and, according to his figures, he is thus
adding half a pound Of water to every
pound of butter. This would be pay
ing investment if one could sell the
water for butter prices, but reminded
the agent that legal butter in the Unit
ed States must not contain over is per
cent of water, and the product he
makes will therefore not be legal but
ter.
This attempt to increase the weight
Of butter by mixing water with it is
an old one, but it crops out every once
in awhile under some new name. Par
ties who may be approached by such
an agent as this should look into the
matter thoroughly before investing in
a secret process the use of which the
agent claims to be able to teach any
one who is able to pay for it.

great crowd of people. The school chill

the governor rode was driven between
the mes of school children 1t was a
lovely sight and 1 shall never forget It.

at night and every inch of standing room
was occupied. The majority of the crowd
of course were Republicans, but there
a great many Democrats and Popullsts
presen,. The governor made a most ex-

fewer CATTLE
Than BEFORE
viii Better Prices Make Up
for Smaller Number.
SECRETARYS FIG u R E S
Fully % Per Cent Less Than
Last Year.

Guthrie. o. T., April 15.-It can De
pretty definitely stated that the number
of cattle in this territory are consid-
erably less than at this time last year
and whether the better prices will make
up to Oklahoma what she has lost In
numbers remains to be seen.
Secretary Thomas Morris. OF the Okla
homa Live Stock Sanitary Commission,
estimates that the supply Of cattle in
the territory at this time is fully . per
cent less than at this time last year The
largest shipments have been made from
Washita, Custer and Roger Mills coun-
ties. on account of the scarcity of feed
in those counties last fall.
If some of the counties that have made
such heavy shipments of cattle should
have an abundance Of feed next fah'
cattle will be in demand tthose eoun-
ties There is no doubt thai many of the
farmers have sold off their cattle be
cause they became disgusted with the
continued low prices, and if this same
cause has resulted in the disposal of cat
tie in other sections of the country like
1t has in Oklahoma. the men who have
stuck to their cattle will stand show
10 get better prices in spite of the sup
posed beef trust
The cattle of Oklahoma are in pretty
good condition at this time as to health.
There have been some cases of black leg
reported. but this. the sanitary commits
aon ascribe entirely to negligence, as
e..rr,r iaI hH-
the 4. and NJ. College at saltwater is an
absolute preventative of this disease and
any farmer can get it free by making
application to the college. Secretary
Morris says the cattle up until two years
of age should be vaccinated twice a
year
A few cases of tick fever have Deen
reported this year from Greer county
earlier than usual. 1t is the intention
OF the sanitary commission to adopt he
roic measures this year and stamp out
the tick fever wherever it makes its ap1
pearance Heretofore the commission has
contented itself with quarantining the
farms that had tick, fever and then it
frequently happened that owners of cat
tie paid no further attention to it.
1t is the intention of the commission
this year when it finds a case of tick
fever north of the quarantine line 10 or
der the owners of the cattle 10 promptly
clean up their ranches, and If this is not
done, the commission Will order the
sheriff of the county to have the cattle
dinped and the person owning the place
will have 10 foot the bills
The Live Stock Sanitary Commission
have arrived at the conclusion that black
leg and tick fever among cattle is so
easily eradicated that there is no need to
have it in Oklahoma.

BAND WILL ATTEND.
Arrangements Have Been Mace to
Paw the Bills.

Guthrie O T. April 15-It is now set
tied fact that the oklahoma Cavalry band
will attend the Worlds Fair, but the
question asitating Guthrie today Is
whether the band. with Governor Fergu-
son and his staff, will go over the Santa
Fe or the Frisco.
1t seems that some time ago Assistant
Territorial Secretary I. NJ. Mcconnell
made arrangements for the band TO go
over the Santa Fe and the people OF
Guthrie were to foot the bill, and II Is
claimed that Mr.. Mcconnell had devised
a plan 10 raise the money 10 bear the
expenses of the band.
Captain Tom Neal is the leader OF the
band and it is claimed that he took the
position that since the people, instead OF
the territory. We're footing the bill, he
had right to have something to say
about it, and he made an arrangement
With the Frisco. by which the band will
go over that line and save the people of
Guthrie $500 or 500.
His plan was submitted to the Guth-
rie Commercial club and that organiZa-
ton was pleased with the arrangements
and it has appointed a committee to raise
the necessary funds. Captain Neal will
have thirty-five men ana instruments in
his band and the Oklahoma Cavalry band
will be hummer.
Tom Neal is captain of Troop A Of the
Oklahoma National Guard as well as
leader of the hand. and the band has
been designated by Governor Ferguson
as the cavalry band of the territory. and
it will go to ST. Louis as a military or
ganization. The people of this city are
proud of the band and they are enthusias-
tic over the idea of sending it TO the
Worlds Fair, and they promise that 1t
will be such band that every Oklahoman
may weN be produd Of.

IDENTIFIED THE LAD.
Knew Him Only by the Clothing Which
She Described.

Shawnee. u. T, April 15.-Mrs. McDan-
iels. "A woman living in this city, Tuesday
afternoon identified the remains of the
boy who was found on the Watson farm
west of the city, apparently having been
dead for some weeks, as her son, Willie.
says the News She says he disappeared
the night of the big storm seven weeks
age. and though she notified r. II. Hagar
and he in turn notified Sheriff Grace, moth
ing could be found of the lad. who was
about years OF age Her identification
was based or his clothing, which she de-
scribed minutely before seeing the body.
on account of its condition no other
means of identification were possible.
1t appears that Mrs. Mcdaniel and her
son lived in a tent near the road crossing
OF the Choctaw west of the city limits,
and that the boy sometimes came up town
without leave. The night he disappeared
h}- had been watching the wreckinS crew
of the Choctaw pick up some cars and
was so interested that he failed to obey
her summons TO come into the tent.
though she called him repeatedly. When
he failed TO come at all she believed he
had gone with the wrecking crew and so
notified the sheriff.
The little fellow had evidently stayed
at the track until the storm broke when
he must have started for home, but so
violent was the wind and so dense the
sand which obscured the vision that he
lost his way and got into Mr.. Watson :
field north of where the tent was located
In the cold stormy night with the fierce
north wind sweeping down he died alone.
within sight of his mothers tent and for
weeks his body lay there. The rapid de
composition is accounted for by the fact
that the body was in the open air
Other parties who knew the boys cloth
ing identified him and Coroner Fleming
being satisfied with the same. the remains
were promptly inferred in Farview
