Speaking Yesterday Of rexs weeks con-
vertion at NUskogee. SIR. Long said:
Il do not concern myself much with
The Territorv's politics. As ] am \ bust
ness man. still. I do not hesitate so cay
that statehood IN combination with Ok
lahoma would rot at this ;.n,e b. for tho
best interests OF our Territory.
Our agricultural land cannot b taxed
for many wears. and our towns are not
equal to sustaining the burden OF support
Ing State government. We have courts
and enforcement of Law under tho United
States. Debts are collected. contracts en-
forced and criminals punished What
more could q State do?
Capital is satisfied to invest under
present conditions.
IL do no, know the plans Of the Muske-
gee convs nt!on. ~ have been travelling
In the Dssf for several weeks. but ] as
sumo that the DELEGATES will take decided
action against single statehood"

The MiIkine Machine.

The makers of milking machines
seem determined not to give up the
attempt to place on the market ma.
chine that will really work. A ma
chine Is now being manufactured In
small city in New York, but ID not
yet placed on the market. The manu-.
factursrs have, however, made num-
Der Of machines. and are trying them
In the neighborhood. This machine
will milk as many as ten COWS at
once. and with 1t one man milks
about thirty-two cows In an hour and
hall, night and morning. The manu-.
facturers themselves, however. do not
seem as enthusiastic al are most
makers Of milking machines. and this
sis . thing in their favor, as they ap..
parently recognize the great dimculty
of getting i machine that viii work
perfectly and that can be kept clean.

The Prepotent Sire.

Prepotency is of SO much value
in any kind of an animal that
it cannot be overlooked. A sire
that has proved prepotent should
be kept as long as possible on
the farm, for in changing to younger
animal there is always the possibility
Of changing to an inferior animal. The
practice on some farms of using sire
for only a short time and then chang.
ing to another without regard to what
the first sire has done is rather of a
lottery, as it is not possible to know
within a year or two the results of
the prepotency of the animal in ques.
ton. The old sire that has proved
himself prepotent breeder should be
purchased in preference to young
animal that has not proved his prepo.
tence, but too often this is not the rule
that is followed.

The Hoo in Summer.

In the summer time l try to give
my young hogs all the range possible,
SO that l will not have to feed much
corn. There is a good deal of clover
in my pasture mixed with the grass,
and this helps out. AS the grass is
blue grass, l get a good deal of that
element that is called protein, and so
