AN up.ro.DATr CONSTITUTION

The delegates to 0klshoma's consti

for several weeks with the task OF ere
ating an organic law for the yOuuges
State in the Unioh, ssys The AtlaDt
Constitution, have st last evolved
document which appeals TO the curl
osity and the admiration Of the eoun
try with almost equal force.
The following seminary affords
glimpse at the.main provisions Of th
document:
The initiative and referendum;
direct nomination OF all officers by
the people; prohibition Of success
ion in State Offices; prohibition OF
the sale or introduction Of liquor
into the State; two.cent railroad
fare; partial woman suffrage pro-
hibition Of ownership in any pro.

modify by railroad prohibiting
corporations from owning more
land than is absolutely necessary
in the operation OF their business
prohibiting corporations from deal
ing in real estate outside OF incor-
porated cities; prohibiting the is
auance OF watered stock, and re-
quiring the books Of all corpora
tions TO be open for inspection ut
all times; provision for the State
ownership OF the segregated min
eral lands in Indian Territory; a
compulsory and separate school
system commissions to deal with
charities, labor and arbitration,
insurance, railroads, agriculture,
gss, coal, oil, and mines: defining
the term negro; prohibiting the
marriage OF negroes with whites,
and finally, providing that the con-
stitution may be amended by q
majority vote.
These articles are, OF course, supple
mented by the regular stereOtype'
without which no State con
stitution is complete.

Why SUCH DISCRIMINATION.


7, has long been known that there is
npVarranted Discrimination IN freight
,stes on vegetables and other products
shipped from Florida, as compared
ritb rates on the same products from
i California and other States. Many eff
forts have been made to remedy this
evil bot so far without beneficial re-
,ults The Florida Fruit and Veg
stable Growers Association, how.
ever, which was organized at Jackson
vile some weeks ago through the
efforts of Frank ID. Warner OF THE
sity, have now taken up this matter in
way that should accomplish results.
Ina letter to the various transport
taiion companies the Association calls
attention to the Discrimination, and
cites the rates now in effect from va
riOus other points as compared with
he rates from Florids.
We have no car-lot rates TO the East

Pest Can Only BE Kept Out by Clean.
hness and Spraying the Roosts.

An interesting bulletin has been is-
sued by the state entomologist OF
Minnesota in which the author dis
cusses the mite as found in the poultry
house. The following extract from
Entomolgist Washburn's bulletin will
interest our readers:
These nocturnal blood suckers. not
true lice, nor even insects, since they
belong to the class Arachnida, are
found during the daytime on the under
side OF the roosts and elsewhere in a
neglected henhouse.
The mites, just visible to the naked
eye. have eight legs when adult, and
are whitish. brownish or red, depend
ing somewhat upon the time elapslng
since the last meal.
They breed in nests. in hen manure
and In cracks and crevices in the dirt
OF neglected henhouses.
"Roosting fowls are attacked at
night. and II these parasites are very
abundant serious results follow. In or
binary numbers even, they prevent
fowls from sleeping. Sitting hens. as
we'll known. are sometimes forced to
abandon their nests because OF the
presence of these pests.
Cleanliness is all-impcrtant. II
roosts rest in sockets. from which
they can be lifted, allowing the ver-
min to gather In those places to be
killed, a strong point is gained.
THE writer has been in the habit
OF spraying the roosts with strong
kerosene emulsion. taking particular
pains to drench the under side of the
same and all cracks and crevices in
the interior of the house. Kerosene
alone will accomplish the same re-
suits.
This treatment was followed by a
thorough whitewashing. These pre-
cautions and the removal of all drop
pings should be resorted to frequent
ly to insure exemption from this pest.
ION account OF these mites 1t is a
bad plan TO keep fowls in close prox-
unity to other stock: hens, for In
stance, should not be kept in the same
building as horses. nor should the
hen house be built against the barn
for the same reason.
Nests intended for sitting hens
should be most carefully prepared in
such a way as to discourage the pres
ence of this parasite.
The entomologist has used ashes
or mixture of lime and ashes as a
basis upon which TO place hay or
straw for the nest and has scattered
insect powder among the eggs and lit
ter in the nests from time to time, II
he had reason to suspect the presence
OF this mite"

are adjusted; but as long as the covei
is used on a hive. this feeder is al
ways adjusted. There is no heat lost
by having to open the hive to add a
story TO accommodate a feeder, or In
any other way by which most feeders
are used.
To feed. 1t is simply necessary to
open the little door on one side OF the
cover 1.-THE other side OF the cover is
permanently close0. and shove in a
suitable dripp.ng.pan of feed A pan
which nearly fills the chamber will
hold about ten pounds Of feed. The
crack shown in the lower wall of the
cover allows the bees access to feed;
and when the feeder is not in use the
pan may be showed n little further
over, and the crack is closed.
In cold weather the pan could be
taken out and a thin cushion substi.
tuted, thus making warm cover.
One objection to this is that such a
cover would necessarily be rather ex.
pensive.

TRAINING or HUNTING DOG.
Simple Methods That VIII Cure AMI.
NAL Of Gun Shyness.

Any dog can be cured OF gun shy
exercise enough patience. declares
Joseph T. Graham. In Outing. The
process proceeds on the inference
that. since he is alarmed because OF
memory or fear of disagreeable cir
cumstances. he must learn to associ-
ate the gun with the agreeable.
IL is best to apply the treatment
when the dog is on game. In prob
ably four cases out of five. he Will
quickly learn TO disregard the gun. or
like 1t. II you let him hunt up the
game and chase 1t. shooting when he
is at a distance and in hot pursuit.
Often gun-shyness disappears the
very day he makes his first solid
point and becomes deeply interested
In the business. In the midst of this
new delight. he disregards other mat
tiers.
Sometimes the fear Is too strong,
and regular treatment must be un-
dertaken. Oftener the owner will
have a short shooting season and
does not care to take chances on a
quick cure. His dog must be ready
for business when the season opens.
So. 1t is necessary to know the sys-
TENS which have been successful in
dealing with this trouble.
