SHEEP AID TOBACCO
latter Is Almost Positive Cure
for Worm Parasites.
Fat Stocks Thought tot Be Fit Only
for Fertilizer Prove Fine Feed
on Which Animals Wax
Healthy.

In the recent past much has been
said in the agricultural press about
tobacco for the parasitic worms in
sheep. We live in one of the chief
tobacco growing regions of Ohio and
have a large flock of sheep. Some Of
u personal experience on his mat
ter without the least idea of egotisln
might be of benefit to others who. are
interested in sheep, writes Ira G.. Shall
labarger in Farmers Review. That
a is almost a positive cure for
the worm parasite in sheep is an es-
tablished fact, but too few really
know how valuable it is and hesitate
to use it.
one year e weather conditions
caused the tobacco to have a large
amount of what is known as fat stems.
Fat stems are the top leaves on to-
bacco stocks which are dark in color
and are always sabby or are like TO-
bacco when in high case and dry out
only when hot, dry weather or sum-
mer comes and are fit for nothing but
for fertilizer or possibly trash except
to sheep breeders.
Our crop of tobacco was not ex-
NV N
empt from them and we thought thew
were fit for only manure AS the crop
Of tobacco was stripped the stocks with
fat stems still %clinging to them were
hauled to a large orchard, which is in
blue grass, around the apple trees.
The sheep were pastured in this or
chard and to u utter amazement
they ate the fat stems off the stocks
as readily and with the relish that a
child eats candy. Salt and water
were always given the sheep, and in
the stable night and morning they
were fed oats and sorry to say, tim
available. The sheep and lambs were
wonderfully healthy and proved
money makers.
This year the sheep have an occa-
sional feed of tobacco saved from last
years trash with alfalfa, oats and run
on grass. They are very healthy.
lambs are growing nicely with no
signs of worms. Somehow the flock
OF sheep in question seem to eat to-
bacco given them without being
chopped fine or mixed with salt as
some advocate. They don't eat vast
quantities of it. Only sparingly. The
tobacco growers of this section are
anxious to sell their trash tobacco at
from one to one and one-fourth cents
per pound. 1t is believed that all who
keep sheep could buy this tobacco at
this price and iced it to the sheen at
a big profit. II
We heartily recommend tobacco for
sheep and to get them started to eat
it, powder it up or cut fine with a
spade or other tool, mix with salt
and put it where the sheep will have
access to it. Feed no other salt and
they will learn to eat it.

New York.-Edward H. Hartman. the
country's master mind in railroads, will
be operated on at his country home on
the mountain top near Arden, n. Y, I'M

there change their minds.

ration is serious. There are grave posi-
bilities of a weakened heart, which puts
a threat into the necessary anesthetic.
According to information secured
shortly before midnight Friday, almost
directly from the specialists in charge
of Mr.. Hartman, he will be operated on
before noon Saturday. The operation, it
is said, is not unlike that which he had
last January and which gave him great
relief for a time.
Before that operation Mr.. Hartman
made a final will and dictated to Judge
Lovett and Alexander Millar his ideas of
the ultimate plans OF the great railroad
monopoly which he has created.
Scraps of news dropped from the lips
of a relative, an assistant and an en-
ploye Indicate that he spent a quiet day,
part of it outdoors, but there were other
incidents which led those who are drain
ing the meager channels of information
to believe that all was not so well.

LETTERING THE FAMILY cow
Method Used in Holland Should be
Adopted Where Only One or @
Two Cows Are Kept.

Small farmers having one or two
cows and not having any well-fenced
pasture for them, should tether the
animals as practiced in Holland and
In other portions of northern Europe,
says a writer in the Baltimore AMER
lean. Have a good leather holster for
each COW, a 20-foot lettering chain,
with a swivel to prevent chain from
wrapping up, can be had for rs cents.
The chain should be attached to a
rocked stake down securely In he
ground-the stake should be moved
twice during the day. Horses are
tethered by the following method:
This consists of a pole, the short end
of which is weighted, swiveled on
stout stake driven securely in the
ground. The halter strap is attached
to the long end of pole. This allows
the horse to Craze all the grass around
the pole. The halter being attached
to the upper end is always above the
back of the animal while feeding. This
arrangement prevents the horse or
COW from getting tangled up. 1t takes
a little more time, but it is a safer
method of lettering than by stake and
chain. This is much the better
method for lettering a horse or young
cow. BY lettering $4,000 feet of good
grass land will feed one COW the en-
tire summer months. This is a little
over one-quarter acre of land. The
drippings Should be spread over the
ground once a week. The lettering lot
should be given a dressing of fine,
raw bone meal at the rate of 100
pounds to the quarter acre and a thin
coat Of long horse manure spread
pver the sod before winter sets in.
By this method the quality of the
grass can be kept up and the stock
economically fed throughout the sum-
mer.

LAND SUITS KNOCKED OUT
Demurrers in Eastern Oklahoma Title
Cases Started by United States
Are Sustained,

Muskogee, Okla.-Judge Ralph Camp
bell has sustained the demurrers in the
suits brought by the United States to
ses aside various deeds and leases made
by citizen allottees in the five civilized
tribes in Eastern Oklahoma, and thus
settled a legal controversy that had been
the cause of considerable concern in that
part of the State.
The court reviewed the relation of the
United States to the five tribes since
they became a nation, and found that no
vestige of title to the lands allotted
them now remains in the United States.
The demurrers involved the question of
the citizenship of these Indians and the
court declared them to be citizens of the
United States with all the rights, priv
ileges and ~immunities of citizenship. It
is held that the United States can not
maintain these suits on the principle that
it sustains to the individual Indian a
trust relation, such guardianship being
incompatible with citizenship, national
and State.
Finally the bills were held bad be-
cause numerous defendants are joined in
each bill who were connected with many
distinct transactions regarding as many
distinct tracts of land.

James burden, a prominent planter
and member of the posse which captured
Clark, was shot and instantly killed.
The posse found Clark in Sweeney's
house. Sweeney s wife was at home, but
Sweeney was absent. The sheriff called
on Clark to surrender. For answer he
received a 44-caliber bullet, fired from an
automatic gun. Burden was shot, and
other members uf the posse fell before
the torrent of lead dealt out by the ne
gro. He continued to fire until his am
munition was exhausted. He was then
overpowered and his body riddled with
bullets.

at various points for the insertion of
