able opponent to the present Demo-
cratic paper at the new state metrop-

The complete ascendancy Of the In
dian Territory element of the Okla
homa Democracy is definitely estab-
lished by its success in this matter.
The management of the Oklahoman
was inclined TO be sore because OF
the complete defeat of the Oklahoma
Democracy in the organization OF the
convention, but has now been COM
pelled to bow to the victorious lead
ers from the Indian Territory side.
The apology made to Haskell is said
to have been most abject in it's char
acter
A number of the delegates from the
southern part Of Indian Territory,
headed by Clinton Graham, Of Mari
eta, have started an organized insur-
rection against the plan Of the con-
vention organization to make small
counties in the northern part of the
Indian Territory.
They are greately in fear that the
northern counties will be Republican,
anyway, and would perfer to have as
few of them as possible in that sec
tiOn.
The theory upon which many of the
leaders are going is that because some
of these districts went Democratic
in the late election they will always
be Democratic, but the men who are
not SO completely 'drunk with vic
tory" realize that such is not neces-

Eyes, did it," he said volubly II

Guthrie, Dec. IA resolution intro
duced into the constitutional conven-
tion today by Gabe Parker, providing
that the present county and recording
district lines shall be recognized wher-
ever there is a conflict, and that the
establishment of permanent county
boundaries should be left to the sec
ond state legislature, was ruled out of
order by President Murray. Parker's
resolution If adopted, would have
broken the Haskell-Murray program.
Hughes of Oklahoma City intro
duced a proposition for the referen-
dun of all franchises to popular vote
and prohibiting perpetual franchises.
An interesting explanation is given
here today as to why the Oklahoman

criticisms Of some Of the Democratic
leaders Of the convention who were
getting liberal "roasts' from all the

HINTS IN GARDENING

The early spring table beet from it's
very first peep into the light of day
should be forced into such quick and
healthy growth that it never should
know any hindrance or check until it
is ready to be placed on sale or used.
There is no better time than Febru-
airy for starting the hotbed either for
plants or salads. The increasing sun
and frightening days are all in favor
of it's success, says market gardener.
For cabbage plants SOW seed of Jer-
sey Wakefield in flats filed with light,
loamy soil in the latter part of Febru-
airy. Keep In a mild hotbed or any
warm, sunny place.
Give a good dressing Of fine old COM
post to the rhubarb plants and force
under kegs or boxes covered with horse
manure If you want tender early stalks.
Be sure to put enough manure in the
center OF the hotbed, so there will be
no sagging.
Poor gardens are expensive In the
end.
Children love gardening. Encourage
them.

A LITTLE PLANT HOUSE.

en-, as Farm Journal remarks in figuring
a little house that just fills the bill for a
place to start all kinds of garden plants.
The plan Of the house is sufficiently
shown in the cut. A little stove can be
used to keep up the needed warmth at
night, or small hot water heater can
be put in, with pipes running along be-
meath the bench.
The seeds should all be sown in boxes
in order that the latter may be turned
end for end, as the sun draws" the
plants toward the light. The house
should face little east Of south and
need not be more than six feet wide,
with such length as is desired. Have
some of the windows made so that
they can be opened; then the room may
not be overheated at midday.

Poisoning the Boil weevi1.

B. w. Marston of the Louisiana crop
pest commission predicts that i'll five
years the cotton boil Weevil will be
universally poisoned wherever it is in
April and May, just as the potato bug
is being universally poisoned. Mr..
Marston bases his prediction on expert
ments carried on at Keachie, La, last
year. He contends that it has been
conclusively proven that the hibernated
weevil can be killed in April and May
with paris green, and, he adds, in
Farm and Ranch:
"The Keachie demonstration proves
that had every weevil in Texas and
Louisiana been poisoned upon it's first
appearance it would have solved the
boil weevil proposition. But it is said
that the boil weevil continues hibernat-
ing into the hot, scorching month of
June co. All the weevils put up this
last year died in December. We can
risk those June hibernated 60 weevils."

SHEEP FEEDING.
Great Business as 1t Is Carried 3n
Around Chicago.

Great Business as 1t Is Carried 6n
Around Chicago.
Sheep feeding has become one of the
most extensive live stock businesses in
the near Chicago counties. Some Of
the plants have capacity of $4,000
year. There are pastures for sheep
that include not less than 5000 acres,
some of it the finest land in the state.
All of these plants have their own
grain elevators, machinery for chop
ping feed, dipping pools and shearing
plants operated by electric power. One
of the feeding places has a reservoir
that holds 100000 gallons of water.
AS may be conjectured, these hungry
sheep consume an immense amount Of
feed, and it comes from the adjacent
farms of Illinois, thus affording the
farmers a paying market for their
products. Some of the farmers let
their pasture lands at so much a head
per month.
These plants make it easy for a dro-
yer to handle bunch of sheep for the
market. In a great many instances he
doesn't pay a cent for the feeding until
they are sold. When they are reloaded
on the cars and shipped to the stock
yards the charges are placed on the
manifest, and the amount is collected
from the sales at the yards. In in
stances the stock is shipped across the
Atlantic, the drover paying nothing out
until he reaches Liverpool, where the
sale is made, and the cost of weeks of
fattening at the pens near Chicago is
sent back from the British market
Sheep Costly In Far West.
A sheep buyer who brought in stock
from Montana says that sheep are val
ued high in the far west. 1t was diff
cult for him to buy as many as he
brought. He says that the reason for
this is that there is now a good market
for wool and cheap pastures on the
foothills and high lands of the Rocky
region are to be had. Even far to the
east the range is cheap, and practically
the only cost is the employment of
herders. The shipper in this instance
paid as high as $3.50 for lambs, while
ewes brought as high as 81. The west
ern herders are holding their floclzs for
the wool they produce.-J. L. Graft in

Alfalfa In Ohio.

In discussion of alfalfa growing at
the annual meeting of the Ohio farmers
institute Mr.. Wing advised to get good
clean seed. 1t should be bright green
ish yellow in color; avoid brown seed.
Be sure it contains no weed seed, espe-
cially dodder.
Mr. Rankin of Fayette county doubt
ed that alfalfa would grow on any and
every soil. He had succeeded with it
in some instances, in others failed.
Mr.. Wing stated that special soil
preparation was necessary to insure
good root development and acknowl-
edged that crop was not always as

straying to Other Fields.

Poor returns on fruits and vegeta-
bles shipped out of south Texas last
season operated to discourage thou
sands Of inexperienced growers so that
membership in many local truck grow
ers' associations has greatly decreased,
says Farm and Ranch. These amateur
truckers are drawn to the light shining
from that will-o'- the-wisp, fifteen cent
cotton, and are willing to throw away
the valuable experience Of last year
in an effort to make ''ten strike on
cotton. They have forgotten the boil
weevil and other uncertainties that
doth hedge this king about.

Pruner's Wisdom.

The conclusion (from experiments
and my general opinion) in respect to
the season Of pruning, as far as the
healing of wounds is concerned, is this:
The ideal time is in spring before
growth begins Qate February, March
and early April in New York;, but
more depends upon the position of the
wound in the tree and the length of
