Dairying is the third leading bust

found that on account of the cost of
farm help, and to avert the expense of
erecting suitable buildings for the
purpose, the cooperative system is
decidedly the best. Under it the en-
tire management is in the hands of
the government under expert opera
tives, though control of sales, ETC.,
rests with the patrons. The farmers
simply deliver their milk or cream,
usually the latter, at the diaries, re-
ceive monthly advances, and bal

Germans Will Gather in ST. Louis In
Honor of his Memory.
Germans from all over the United
States will gather in st. Louis next
spring to honor the memory of Gen.
eral Franz Sigel. the dashing cavalry
leader who organized four regiments
of young Germans for the Federal
army in 1861, and saved Missouri"
for the Union. The statue. for which
$4,000 was subscribed by patriotic
citizens of ST. Louis, will probably
stand in Forest park. 1t is the work
of Robert Cauer, a German-American
sculptor of Berlin. Cauer went to ST.
Louis last year and modelled the
facial likeness from original photo
graphs of General Sigel at the time
of the war. Sigel is shown at the
battle of Pea Ridge, scanning the ap-
preaching enemy just before he made
the famous rally of his German
boys" and turned seeming rout into
a glorious victory for the boys in blue.
1t was to this engagement that the
famous humorous ditty, Me Fought

west country became possession of
Canada, prophesied the present pros

Manitoba in the eastern portion of

LAND is GOOD FOR GOATS.
Much Given Back to choctaws after
Timber Is Cut.

ttfiibCF 10 Sdt-
South McAlester. 1. T., July "a. =
The valuable timber lands of the
Choctaw nation are rapidly passing
into the hands of the big lumber COM
panies. Millions of feet are changing
hands daily. The average price for
good timber is s1.50 thousand feet.
Dozens of sawmills are in operation
in various parts of the nation, and
the timber is rapidly converted into
lumber worth SIS and $40 thousand
feet.
The land upon which this timber
grows is unfit for agricultural pur-
poses, being billy and covered with
rocks. Some of the lumber companies
give the land back to the Indian after
they have stripped it of it's valuable
timber. The fine pine timber will
soon be thing of the past in the
Choctaw nation, and instead there will
be miles and miles of barren land, fit
only for a goat ranch or some other
institution of similar character.

GREATEST BIRD MUSICIAN.
Song Sparrow Has as Many as Six
Distinct Motifs.

Distinct Motifs.
'In one sense of the word, the song
sparrow is our greatest musician
among the BIRDS said c. H. Holman.
He changes his song apparently at
will. In a half hour a song sparrow
has been known to sing six distinct
songs. The hermit thrush and the
wood thrush are our best singers, and
some of the bunting family are the
poorest. A bird has an instructive
tendency to the song of the species.
There is generally one dialect of song,
although the song sometimes differs
in different localities. There are five
distinct notes in a snowbird's song.
The cracking notes come when the
bird is startled, and the song is call
ed the scatter song There is a note
of anger when driving the intruder
off, and smack when raising the
crest feathers. The smack is a note
of alarm, not strong enough to carry
off flock, but to put them on their
guard. There's also a curious con-
versational tone on warm days and
ringing call notes."
