THE EARLY DAYS.
Governor Johnston Lost Whole FloeI
OF Sheen

pO'e'HOT JoNnSton LOST Wnoie FLOCK
OF sheep.
Governor ID. II. Johnston OF the
Chicksaw narion was in the city
last night. He likes to visit Ard.
more and on every trip here he is
prevailed upon to move to Ardmore
Talking with bunch OF friends last
night at the Wilmington the gov.
ernor said he had never been a
witness in many cases in the federal
courts. The people here hay always
tried TO settle their differences with
out going to court. But on one oc-
casiCn the governor said the viola
tion OF the law was too fragrant
TO overlook and he had a man ar.
rested. His neighbor visited his pas
turc and stole his entire flock OF
sheep. The governor hands foilo~
ed the sheep and found them shut
up In The barn OF the man who had
taken them and the fellow was
there with a sharp knife changing
the mark on every one. A warrant
was sworn out and the fellow was
placed under arrest. lie was taken
to Muskogee. the nearest place OF
holding court. When the Witnesses
went TO appear against him the
prisoner was sick and had been re-
moved TO a humber yard where he
could get some air. While lying in
one OF the aisles Of the piles of
lumber some boys began chasing
pet sheep about the premises
and the sheep ran over the sick
man again reminding him OF the
whole flock of sheep he had wrong
fully taken In the Chickasaw ma
tion. At the trial the man was
proved guilty.. in fact he had no
evidence to produce but the jury
took compassion on him and turne,.
him loose. The governor said tha
was the extent OF his experience as
a witness in the federal courts in
the early days OF this country.

BILLUP MADE FRIENDS
COUNTY JUDGE |. r. MASON AND
REV. J. W. SIMS oUTsPokEN
FOR STATE AGENCY

County Judge |. X. Mason said this
morning, Before Senator Billups
came here | was 'brutally' opposed TO
the state agency law but that man
has convinced me that he IS in ear
nest sincere and honest in his efforts
To provide Oklahoma with model
liquor law and while the bill as pass
ed needs some changes, | see that
Mr.. Billups realizes the changes that
are needed and Will make them and
as for me am going to vote for his
measure
Rev. J. w. Sims of the Broadway
Methodist church said, Il am going
to vote for the state agency"
The friends of prohibition in this
state have cas- their most valuabale
ally Senator BillCps. He is "A Chris.
tian gentleman who is working heart
and soul to model liquor bill for Ok
hhoma that will be adopted in the
other states and thinking people who
are prohibitionists are not going TO
cast their votes TO discourage the
movement in Oklahoma against the
open sale of liquor.
Some of the best people in this
state at times need whisky In their
homes. When they make a purchase
they do not want to come in contact
with the bootlegger and do not want
to use his vile stuff for medical pur-
poses. They would rather go to the
state agency and make their pur-
chases as openly as they would buy a
bill of groceries and feel as good over
the purchase.
Many people in the country dis.
tricts need liquor for medical pur.
poses and they represent the larger
number of persons who are patrons
of the agency,
Is the agency doing any harm has 1t
harmed YOU? Certainly It has not
nhen why vote to take 1t taway from
the man who does want IL?

The UP TO DATE FARMER.
How He Makes Agriculture a Paying
Business.

[
Business.
The up to date farmer knows the
value Of being up TO date. He knows
that new discoveries in the various sci
ences related to agriculture reveal new
relations and suggest better methods.
He knows that many Of the theories
held and many Of the methods prae-
ticed years ago, and some even now,
are worthless. He knows that one
farmer cannot make as many expert
ments as can q thousand men.
lie reads books on farming and does
not scoff at the book farmer, nor does
he refuse to listen to the college pro
fessors. for, while he has great respect
for the students Of agriculture, yet he
knows that the time has not come and
never can come when agriculture shall
be reduced TO a rigid science. which
shall be governed by a code Of rules
and laws. as are such sciences as chem
istry. physics and the like.
The up TO cate farmer has the latest
improved farming implements and to
save horsepower and TO do most eff
cient work always keeps them in per
feet order. He does not use plow that
viii not scOur nor one that is dull nor
one whose adjustment is such that
three horses must work hard to do the
work which two could easily do with
plow properly adjusted. He under
stands the application Of force 10 all
his farm machinery so that the great
est amount Of work is accomplished
with the least expenditure Of power.
When his farm implements are not in
use he keeps them well housed II ii is
profitable TO do so. A hundred dollar
wagon shed into which a twenty-five
dollar farm wagon is backed by hand
every time the team is unhitched IS not
profitable.
The up to date farmer pays his debts.
Not the least important Of these is the
one he owes to the soil. He knows that
each crop which the soil yields takes
from It something Of its fertility and
that unless this fertility Is returned to
the soil it can soon yield only dimin-
ished crop. So he is very careful year
by year to pay back TO his land that
fertility which the crop has taken from
it. He knows many ways Of doing this,
and the one which he will adopt will
depend upon the neighborhood. He
knows that he can run a dairy, and
when he sells q ton Of butter worth
perhaps $500, it will impoverish his
farm no more than TO sell five or six
hundred pounds Of straw worth about
a dollar.
He will keep his hired help all the
year. and year after year, for the longer
they are in his employ the more valu-
able they are to him and the more be
can afford to pay them. He viii buy
more food than he sells will raise all
the feed he can for his stock and Will
not hesitate to buy more when needed.
If he IS wise in the management Of
the fertilizers from his barns and feed
lots and wise in their distribution up
on his meadows and pastures and wise
IN sowing clovers for his corn land
and among the grasses Of his farm be
will in time greatly increase its fer
tility.-Farm and Fireside.
