COT 1T MIXED

Here is how a Missouri Editor
got into trouble: He had written
an article concerning recent fire
and also an obituary of a particul-
arly pecuniary citizen. In making
up the forms the foreman got the
items mixed and the following
come out in the paper: "rhe bear
ers lowered the body into the grave
and as ii was consigned to the
flames there were but few if any
regrets ofthe wreck; it had been an
eye-sore to the town for years. OF
course there was an individual
loss, but that was fully covered by
insurance. The widow thinks the
editor wrote the obituary that way
because the lamented partner Of
her joys and sorrows owed him five
years subscription.

SENATOR BAILEY IS COMING
To chiekasha-He Win Make a Num-
Der 4 Speeches in the New State

Col. Geo. w. Barefoot and R.
N. Bourland returned Saturday
from Gainesville. Texas, where
they met Senator Bailey by special
appointment to make an engage
ment with him 10 deliver an ad-
dress in Chickasha.
Senator Bailey is taking an
especial interest in the coming
election of delegates 10 the con-
stitutional convention in Oklahoma
and be stated that he had decided
10 offer his services 10 the democ-
ratio campaign committee to speak
when the campaign opens. He
has friends scattered all over the
two territories and has already re-
ceived a large number OF invita-
tions. In offering his services to
the campaign, he stated that he
would stipulate that one OF his
dates be in Chickasha. 1t is inn
possible at present to say Just
when be will be here as that will
depend somewhat upon the other
dates made for him, but 1t will
likely be some time during the
latter part of September OF the
first of October.
= 1t is Senator Bailey's opinion
that the democrats should make q
determined effort to elect major
ity of the delegates to the conven
ton as the control of that body b,
the republicans will make it posi-
bic for them to jerrymander th'
state to such an extent that th'
election Of democratic senators will
be endangered.

BUYING THE FEEDER.
It Takes the Experienced Hand to
Pick Out the Raw Material That
Will Make High-Priced Beef.

1t takes a man that knows some
thing about cattle to select the kind
that will take the raw material and
cnange it into high-priced beef that
will be recognized as such when it
comes into the hands of the man that
is buying for immediate slaughter. In
selecting an animal it should be
viewed from all sides and not from
one side alone. The animal selected
should have good length, good width
and be- f1eshy. If he is not of good
length, the amount of high priced cuts
on him will be very limited in num-
ber and most. of the feed put into him
will go to, make low-priced cuts. II
he is not wide he has not good diges-
tive powers and probably not a good
constitution.
If the animal is not already feshy
the probability is that he has not the
faculty of putting on meat at a good
rate on fairly good food, says the
Farmers Review, else his first own
ers would have induced him to show
what he could do in that line. He
should have short neck and broad
head. The animal should also have a
gocl back, which is one Of the very
important points in the feeder. The
body should be deep, for without this
it is not, t,possible for him to take large

FEEDING SHEEP TO MARKET
The Too Liberal Use Of Grain Makes
the Margin of Profit Too
Small

nearly all the gain OF HeSh on any kind
offs tock fed for market will not realize
any great margin of profit. Every
farmer knows that grass is the cheapest
and usually the best feed for making
growth and flesh The most money
have made feeding sheep has been done
by depending on grass for the most part
in putting on flesh.
+ A few years ago, says E. P. Snyder,
Of Huron county, O., in writing to
the Ohio Farmer, when sheep were very
cheap had so fine wooled wethers that
I offered for sale, just at the beginning
of winter. They were in good condition,
but the most the buyers would offer was
$3.50 per head. Hay was light crop,
corn was scarce and high; expected to
have to buy both before spring, but felt
that ought not to sacrifice so much on
the sheep. I had large stack of wheat
straw and by feeding this straw liber-
ally once a day, and hay or cornstalks
for. the other feed, with a light feed of
cOrn-one-half pint each per day.
brought them through in very good
shape. They were sheared and put on
grass and it was remarkable what gains
they made right from the start. They
sheared little over 10 pounds each,
which sold at Is cents per pound, so that
the wool brought as much as'Was offered
for the sheep in the fall. They were
sold on the Goth of June at $3.50 per
cwt.. and they weighed 1O1 pounds each
This was good profit for their feed and
care, but the most of the gain was made
on grass.
This spring sold my wether lambs
at six cents, clipped, 10 go about June
1. They were clipped April and the
40 head turned on timothy meadow
of eight acres, April 22. Their grain
feed was continued for two weeks and
then gradually diminished till for the
last four weeks they had none at all.
They were at no time on full feed, just
kept in a thriving condition.. They
put on flesh rapidly as soon as turned
on grass. l offered these lambs for sale
in the fall at So per head. Buyers
thought them too small for the money
The lambs and wool brought me $3.50
each.
My sheep are high grade Meri-
nos. 1t pays me to + keep = them
through the winter: in thrifty con,
dition, and, after getrlng their
fleece, depend on grass to put. on the
flesh. I know that with rather large,
coarse wooled, light shearing lambs, it
usually pays better to crowd them with
grain from late fall or early winter and
sell in January or February with the
feeces on. One can't always pasture a
meadow without loss, but in this case
it was a@decided advantage. The season
has been SO wet that the grass has made
wonderful growth and the pasturing
delayed the ripening so it will be just
right after all the other meadows are
cared for. The yield will be nearly or
quite two tons per acre of clean tim
