tiers of eggs-from 5000 to 100000 in
number, according to her size. In
June and July these hatch out.
Throughout the spring months the
experiment station at WEXFORD offers
a premium for good-sized Holsters
lin berry" as the technical term is.
The offerings are usually sufficient
for the purpose in hand.
Experts can tell by the look of the
Holsters eggs when they are ready to
hatch. Into one of the rectangular
canvas bags, with the water still, r e
| plunged score or more of the fe-
males whose broods are il 1 about to
break through the shells of the eggs
Soon the water is alive with a cloud
of tiny larvae, mostly all stomach and
eyes and antennae. AS soon as the
number is estimated to be about 20
900 the mother Holsters are removed
and the great paddle set somewhat
like the fan that Shoes flies in res
taurant, and actuated by the engines
on the house boat, begins to rotate
From then on until they have reached
what the naturalist call "the fourth
stage" the youthful Holsters are liter
ally in the swim. Day and night
the paddle keeps the waters stirring
enough coming through the sides OF
the bag so that it is always fresh and
pure.
Each stage of the Holsters early de
lveiopment has it's technical peculiari
ties. The main point is that the lit
tie creatures mott frequently until
anywhere from ten to sixteen days
after birth, they have passed the
period in which they swim helplessly
about in the water seeking
whom to devuor or by whom te
be devoured, and have reached the
age in which they begin to hide from
their foes by burrowing under rocks
or roots. Arrived at the fourth
stage they are so far able to take
care of themselves that it is the Gus
tom of the WEXFORD station to release
them then, though as a demonstration
they have on several occasions beer
carried several stages further. in or

What Not to Say .

An article by Bertha Gaus in the
New Idea Woman's Magazine foi
January takes up the polite art of con.
versatioh from a negative point of view
The "don'ts" enumerated by the writer
for those wishing to be good takers
are Don't tell long stories of personal
experiences. Don't ask trihinl
questions. Don't air your prejudices
Don't talk of melancholy or gruesome
matters. Don't speak in a low, monot-
onous tone. Don't ride conversation
too hard. Don't hinder the converse
ton by trying To be toe over
details. Dom go back and add appen-
dices to a subject after you have left it.
Don't run n story into another.
Don't stop a discussion by the clinchinl
use of a proverb. Don't make a point
of always agreeing with a speaker.
Don't harp too long on one string
Don't affect a stilted style" After
discussing these prohibitions to takers
at some length the writer concludes /:
still, it must be confessed that there
are people who are constitutionally
incapable of following out these rules,
and who, in spite of all their Violations,
are interesting people. They hav,
native strength and make their own
rules of self-eXpression. They are the
stuff out Of which novelists make char
neutrality-suspicious.. In real life, as
in books, they add to gaiety of nations.
But they are not exemplars of the art
of conversation, which requires har-
monious balance in all the give-and-
take of conversational exchange"

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Woodward. OKLAHOMA.

FOR the instructions of entry men in
Beaver county, we call your attention
to a decision rendered by the Honor
able Commissioner of the General
Land office under the date December
ii, 1905, in the case of Hannah Ward
The decision among other things SAYS /:
Claimant does not show residence
upon the land for twelve months as
required by the Act of October 20, 1893,
which provides That any person en-
Titled by law To take a homestead in
SAID Territory of Oklahoma who has
already located and filed up on or who
shall hereafter locate and file upon a
homestead within the public land strip
Beaver County in Oklahoma Terri
tory, and who has complied with all
the laws relating To such homestead
settlement, may receive a patent there
after at the expiration of locating upon
said homestead upon payment to the
United States of 81 % per acre"
In consisting the above statutory
provision the Commissioner says, ut
appears from the wording Of the above
Act that twelve months must elapse
between the date of locating upon the
home stead and the submission of the
proof thereon. No credit can be given
in the communication of entry under
said Act for the period of time be-
tween the date of the entry and the
date of making settlement thereon.
In this case the party established resi-
dence in June 1905 and submitted com
munication paoof May Ii, 1906, there
fore IL months did not elapse between
the date of locating on his homestead
and the date of submission of proof,
The proof is therefore rejected

parties who have final proofs pending

These are only a few of the features
of the jamestown Exposition. The
beautiful grounds containing about SOC
acres on which there are now growing
over a million trees, shrubs and plants,
are in themselves an attraction which
cannot fail to excite admiration and
wonder. Magnificent shady walks and
drives, iowery hooks and dells,
abound everywhere on the grounds
and even the enclosure is a work of
art. An immence wire fence, eight
feet high, covered with honeysuckle,
rambler roses and the trumpet vine
that charms the eye and fills the air
with fragrance ~encloses the grounds
on the land sides for a distance of
more than two miles, presenting a
beautiful barrier betweeo the outside

standing out like an immence green

The Broom Corn Crop .

Der days. An idea of the magnitude
OF the crop may be gained from the
statement of the fact that upwards OF
fifty cars of broom corn have already
been shipped from Hooker to the mar
kets of the East and that the crop
as a whole has scarcely begun to move
Beaver county is now producing more
broom corn than any other county i N
Oklahoma, and Oklahoma produces the
larger part of the worlds crop. Liber-
al last year claimed to be the greatest
broom corn market in the world and
will probably sustain hat claim this
season, but Liberal gets most of its
broom corn from Beaver county
Up TO date Hooker has received ap-
proximately five hundred tons of the
crop of 1905, and although the season
is well advanced it is claimed that
owing to the ~unfavorable weather but
a small per cen of the crop has been
marketed Seeding outfits have been
scarce and the wet weather has pre-
vented them working full time.
The average price paid this year has
been about s47 90 per ton. Some corn
has sold AS low as $50, but most of il
has sold for between $40 and $50 per
ton, and some brougot as much as $50.
Nearly 25,OOO has already been paid
TO the farmers at Hooker alone for
broom corn, while but a small per cent
of the crop has been marketed.
