A Caustio Reiojndar

A physician who had for fifteen
years been one of the doctors Of the
Actors fund and who attended hun
dreds of actors with no compensation
whatever, wrote to prominent man
ager and asked for some theater tick

ager asking what the doctor had ever
done that he should be entitled to re-
ceve theater tickets gratis. The ply

contained brief recital OF his services

said: Despite my services, as named

Tom corwin,s Education.

The father of Tom Corwin, the IA
nous Kentucky statesman, orator and
wit felt that he was too poor to make
a scholar Of more than one child of his
large family, and so the elder brother,
Matthias, was kept at school and
Thomas placed at hard work on the
farm. The breaking Of leg proved a
happy incident In the life of the boy,
as the enforced confinement gave him
time for devotion to his beloved books.
and he committed a Latin grammar to
memory Upon his recovery he again
importuned his father to send him to
school and, meeting a refusal, deliber-
ately broke his leg the second time that
he might have leisure to study. His
heroic determination to learn resulted
in his being placed in the same institu-
ton attended by his brother, where his
natural ability and great industry gath

How the Business Flock is Fed.

The feed question seems to be more
widely discussed than any one thing
pertaining to poultry. l have tried hot
and cold mashes and fed both morning
and noon. Have mixed mashes of all
the known feed-stufIs. but find nothing
so satisfactory as the dry mash. For
more than q year have fed no wet
mashes. The morning feed is comp posed
of coarse bran, cornmeal and beef scraps
in about tho proportion generally used
in the wet mashes. Twice q week
add two quarts Of ground charcoal to "a
quarts Of grain.
This dry grain is placed in large
kettle and thoroughly mixed with a
shovel. then put 10 boxes in the differ
Ont pens, giving each pen as much as
the fowls will clean up before 3 o'clock.
1t usually takes about IA quarts to 100
hens, varying little from time to time.
About 4 feed mixed grain composed
of two quarts cracked corn to one of
wheat or barley. at tho rate Of one quart
to every 20 birds, feeding on the ground
outside of the houses when the weather
will permit. or course, plenty Of clean,
fresh water is absolutely necessary and,
with the dry mash, the hens will drink
one-third more than with wet mash.
Since using dry feed there has been less
sickness and more eggs than ever be-
fore.
l prefer the dry feed because in sum-
mer it never sours and in winter never
freezes The boxes l use to feed this
mash in are ordinary grocery boxes, 10
inches to 2 feet long. 6 to Q inches wide
and 5 or 6 inches deep. Enough are
used in each pen so they do not need to
DO filled over half full. A lath is nailed
across tho top odgewise, SO that hens

THREE NEW POTATOES.

Originating new varieties Of potatoes
from the seed boil is matter Of great
Importance to the potato industry. 1t
frequently happens that not one out Of
many THOUSANDS will prove of any great
value. All the labor Of growing and
proving these seedlings is lost, and when
the originator does get really valuable
Seeding potato he has to put the price
high enough to cover the cost of all ex-
pense of the thousands Of worthless ones
he has had to bring forth to find one Of
real value.
The Merrill is q new Seeding that
has been grown long enough to prove
its worth. 1t is white potato of the
Green Mountain type, strong. vigor-
GUS grower, a great yielder and of good
quality. In 1906 it far outyielded that
immense cropper, the Norcross.
The Star Of the East is another new
seeding of The Hebron type 1t is as
near being blight proof as any potato 1
have ever seen. 1t is medium late, and
the tubers are of fine quality. and it is
very heavy cropper. The vines are
dark green, strong and vigorous, and
this potato will grow a good crop Of
market tubers when most others fail,
and on account Of its good quality will
be largely grown wherever it becomes
known.
The Clyde is another new potato which
those that know it claim will take the
place of the Green Mountain. 1t pro.
duccd fine, smooth tubers that weighed
nearly three pounds each the second
year from the seed boil. The tubers
are smooth and of nice shape and will
stand forcing without growing prongy,
and the quality is excellent. The vines
are very dark green, with many bios
SONS. A potato that will not produce
many blossoms is of scant vigor. Any
one wishing to get large yielder must
look for plenty Of blossoms and long
period Of bloom.

gave us crop, and our spring plowing
gave US nothing, right the reverse.
1t was right here that l began study

perimenting ever since. I expect it

there is no greater science than that of

think is all right only to find the next

story in connection with this | some
times tell, in which is illustrated the
average old farmers idea. My father
had come there that year from old Ver-
mont where they raise potatoes and corn
by hilling up. l was cultivating these
potatoes level, aiming not to hoe the
potatoes at all. When we started in
the second cultivation, he said "Son,
are you going to cultivate these this
way all the time" | said "That is my
PLAN" He said II would suggest you
cultivate the old way, if l am going to
stay here | want potatoes to eat" Now
you see he was very positive these new-
tangled notions would not do. l sug-
gested that he cultivate few his way
and see who came out ahead. At this
time l went East intending to stay one
week, and was gone perhaps three weeks
When | came back | saw he had been
pretty hoggish, and had gotten six acres
hilled up, which was a good job, and
every time there was man to be spar

no great amount Of rain falling but

as good year, but was good, about
what would be the average crop in the
states from which came. The year
80 was a marvel That year I had 800
acres of wheat in and raised 1000
bushels, selling at SLIP per bushel.

bountifully the year before. In fact,
none Of it was worth harvesting, but
the 40 acres of the 300 which FORUM

gave us a very fair product. The 260
acres were plowed in the fail, giving
us nothing. Now probably dozen or
fifteen had wheat on what we then
called old ground, which was the second
crop. They all Jared. likewise. We
all got together and had little council

OLD RESIDENT
MURDERED
In Gold Blood By Officers, Claiming thsy
thought him Bootlesscr

Word has recently reached Estancia
of the cold blood murder of Sylvester
Morris at Tulsa, I. T. The old gentle
man was driving through the streets,
when he was accosted by an officer from
the sidewalk, calling to him to halt.
The old man was too deaf to hear, and
continued on his way, whereupon the
officer drew gun and killed him. Not
quite year ago, Mr.. Morris sold his
sheep interests here and returned to
Tulsa, his son remaining in the valley.
BE young man recently had his left
arm crushed while working with well
drill outfit. Onaccount of this accident
he would have been unable to go back
home, had he received the message in
time. This however, was delayed in
transit on account of the telegraphers'
strike.
The Ardmoreite, published at Ard
more, I. T., speaks as follows of the
brutal murder:
Bert Austin, Arthur Austin and Ed.
Wallace, charged with introducing
whisky, were brought to Muskogee
from Tulsa last night by Deputy Mar
shall Lucas. They are the men who
were arrested the night that Sylvestre
Morris, an aged farmer, retired Metho-
dist preacher, was shot and killed at
Tulsa, supposedly by Deputy Wilson.
Morris was driving up the street at
the time and Wilson, taking him for
bootlegger, shot twice and ordered
the old man to halt The man was said
to be deaf and becoming confused,
whipped up his horses to drive faster.
Wilson fired and the old man fell over
dead
1t was later discovered that Morris
was not a bootlegger and public sent-
ment in Tulsa is strong against the
officer. Wilson has been in Muskogee
since yesterday. He spends his time in
the office of the United States marshal
1t was rumored yesterday afternoon
that large number of citizens would
arrive on an evening train from Tulsa
and demand that Marshal Bennett
place Wilson behind the bars. The
Tulsa delegation failed to show up, how
ever.
Wilson declines to make a statement
at this time.
The dead man was an old soldier and
at meeting of Fairchild Post G.. A.
N. Ol ulSu, ICSOluIloIlS were pdSSeu
charging that deputy Marshals C. R.
Wilson and Frank McGlothin willfully
shot and killed Sylvester Morris in the
city of Tulsa while he was peacefully
driving through the Streets" They
further state that Morris was "a years
old and minister of the gospel. The
resolution were most scathing, demand
ing that U. S. Marshal Bennett i'm
mediatly dismiss Wilson and that the
deputies be prosecuted for murder.
The Phoenix received a copy of the

be published. They were signed by
