new EXP RESS
RATES

Guthrie. Okla, June 15.--The cor
poration commission has just issued
its Order No. 203, effective Aug l.
1909, making a substantial reduction
inu all express rates between all
points in the state of Oklahoma.
Hearings we're held by the commits
sion IN Guthrie last January. the ex.
press companies were represented by
a number Of high salaried attorneys
and express experts from New York
City. and the proposed rate reductions
were bitterly fought. It developed
during the hearing that the express
companies were maintaining the
same rates which they had put in ef-
feet twenty-five years ago, at a time
when the territories were a wDs9r-
ness, with very few white inhabitsrts
The Pacific Express Company had
the lowest scale Of rates, and the
American Express Company had the
highest 1t was also disclosed at the
hearing that the operating expenses

agents Transportation Is purchased
at wholesale from the railroad com
panies and sold at retail to the pub
lie. When rates were reduced ex-
penses were correspondingly reduced.
When rates were raised, expenses
were cOrrespondingly raised.
The average reduction in the Wells
Fargo merchandise rate and gradu-
ate scale is 27.79 per cent. The av-
erage reduction in the Pacific mer-
chandise scale is 9.5 per cent. But
ter and eggs % per cent, milk and
cream 20 per cent.
The average reduction on fruit, veg
etables and other farm products. all
companies, is approximately 30 per
cent, and on repairs for farm machin-
cry. 80 per cent.
The rates made by the commission
are the same for like distances and
like commodities between any points
in Oklahoma, absolutely the same to
everybody, rich or poor, packing COM
pany or farmer. consumer or truck
grower, creamery or dairyman-the
rates are the same. Equality to all,
no special rates between any partic-
ular points.
The opinion rendered by the com
mission in connection with Its order
has been pronounced by competent
critics to be worthy Of critical com
parison with the best opinions rem
dered by the highest courts OF the
nation.
The analysis of the express busi-
ness contained in the opinion will en-
able many people to get out Of the
dark and step into the light.
It is the first judicial opinion ever
written in regard to a general re-
duction in express rates, and will be

ADMINISTRATION KEEPS
FAITH WITH THE PEOPLE

Guthrie, Okla, June 15.-The re-
cent injunction suits brought by rail
roads and coal mines against the vari-
GUS county treasurers restraining them
from the collection of the 1908 taxes,
is positive proof that the state admin
istration is keeping faith with the
people in compelling corporations to
pay just share of the taxes Of the
state. In fact, the corporations ap-
pear to think that they are paying a
little more than just proportion.
This is new sensation to the rail-.
roads and coal mines never expert
enced when the Republicans were In
control Of theastate.

THE SILO THE. SIGN OF PROSPERITY

'picion are fast disappearing and silos
are being built in every part of the
country where livestock is kept. The
silo has become a permanent factor in
American husbandry and the time is
not far off when the stock raisers, as
well as the dairymen, will depend
largely on the contents of the silo for
green feed.
The progressive dairymen have long
realized the value of succulent food for
their COWS, and they have been using
sllos for many years. 1t is the more
conservative farmers who are now
rapidly becoming converted to the use
OF sllage and are making inquiries in
regard to the building of silos and
many other questions pertaining to
this method of preserving feed These
questions have led the writer to pre-
pare these notes on the slo and silage.
1t is settled question that the silo
should be built round, for in build
ing of this shape the silage is best pre-
served. In round structure the con-
tents settle more evenly than in any
other shaped building, and If the corn
is properly put into the silo the ma
terial is nearly as good next to the wall
as it is in the center
1t is not always so with the square
structure the silage in the corners of a

The Baldwin apple grown upon sandy
land colors more highly and grows to
a larger size than the same variety on
clay land. 1t is more attractive and is
worth more money in the market, but
it will not keep so long as the smaller,
less highly colored Baldwin from .iay

under observation from both sandy and

able size. Many farmers prefer to
have two silos. They feed from one
during the winter and have the con-
tents of the other for midsummer's
feeding.
The silo should never be built in the
barn. Silage is more or less fer
mented product and must be fed with
care, otherwise the milk may become
tainted by it's use. Barns that contain
silage always bear the odor of the
silage, and this should be avoided II
high grade milk is to be produced
The building should be constructed
outside the barn, but close to it, and
II possible at the end of the main feed
ing alley. The silo can be connected
to the barn by means of covered
platform which is to receive the ma
terial when it is taken from the pit.
vehicle of some kind, which is
used to carry the silage to the stock,
can be wheeled on this platform and
filled. The door between the platform
and the barn should be closed when
the contents are being taken from the
| silo.

or grout is constructed from two to

form to construct the next question
to consider is what kind of a round
silo should be built? The stave silo,
which is manufactured by a number of
flrms, makes very satisfactory build
ing and one that lasts for many years.
Farmers who have built the stave silos
are well pleased with them.
1t should be borne in mid hat a silo
is nothing more nor less than a large
alright vessel in which feed is
canned for future use. The size of
the silo depends upon the number of
animals that are to be fed from it.
In the main it should be tall and
slim. 1t is difficult to build a silo too
high, but it is easy to build it too large
in diameter. The diameter should be
of that size = allow at least a two
inch layer of silage to be fed each day
from the top surface. If the silage is
exposed too long to the air it will spoil,
the same as canned fruit or vegetables.

THE VALUE OF STANDARDS
Definite Object Must Be Aimed At in the Breeding
of Cattle for Best Results


| therefore have this kind of STANDARD
before lin, and for that reason h,
should make himself familiar with thu
great prize winners in the cattle ring
The standard may be faulty, but IL Sc
he has no recourse but to follow Ii
Every departure from the accepted
standard will mean a lessened chance
to sell his animals at high prices.
Most of our common farmers wht
are breeding cattle are not raising ami.
imals to sell as breeders, but animals
which shall go to the butcher when
htted for 1t. They do not care as much
about the rules of the show ring as
they care about the standards that are
round in the great stock yards In which
animals are purchased for slaughter.
II they study the standards of those
yards they will find that the buyers
do not care anything for markings or
colors. They do not care whether an
animal is, a grade or pure-b bred so long
as he has the right kind of meat on
him and that meat placed to the best
advantage. More than once grade
steer in the stock yards has brought
higher price than the pure bred by
his SIDE
The farmer who breeds cattle out OF
which to make meat needs to work as
near to some one beef breed as posi-
ble The higher his grades are the
more they will be sought after by the
| cattle buyers, and consequently the
the higher the price that will be paid
for them A buyer of cattle who has
grown old in the business says thai
he picks out his steers largely on thu
degree t which they approach some o.
the established beef breeds, for those
breeds are all beef producers.

BY s. g. MILLER.

In the raising of cattle it is neces-
sary to have clearly defined standards
before the eyes of the mind. A stand
ard is a mental picture of what the
breeder desires. Without such stand
ard all breeding will be without an OBJ
1ect and will generally attain to Moth
ing of Importance
The country is full of cattle breeders
who have no standard. They buy and
sell any kind of cows and breed to any
kind of bull that happens to be
handy. They have done more to pull
down standards than to bring them up
They have had standards brought be-
fore them, but have not adopted any.
If their children go on breeding as
their fathers are breeding they will not
make any progress in thousand years
of effort.
The standard Of the breeder of fancy
cattle is not the same as the standard
of the breed of animals for the butch
err. Each must have standard of MS
own. The breeder of animals to be
sold at high price for breeding ami
mails must have a standard before his
eyes that has already been set By the
cattle judges. The nearer his animals
come to that standard the higher will
be the prices they will bring.
All the animals that sell at high
prices at the great auction sales are
those that come close to the ideal
standard of perfection established by
the judges Most of the high priced
animals have taken prizes at the great
shows. Some beef bulls have been held
at $4,000 because in the great com
petitive contests they won first place.
The breeder of fancy stock must

RAIL FENCE PHILOSOPHY

1t always makes us feel bit hard
toward the man who takes advantage
of the opportunities we failed to hear
when the knock came to our door.
Many a farmers wife does more work
before breakfast than her husband does
all day and never seems to notice it.
Some farmers always expect to find
a bountiful table. but neglect to supply
the foundation for it, and then blame
their wives for the lack of good things.
Keeping the field clear of weeds is
not all there is to clean farming. This
means clean methods in everything
clean hearts, clean hands and clean
treatment when dealing with our fami-
lies and friends.
Last year was a great year for farm
ers, but this year will be better.
'"The salt of life is work." according
to some wise men. But there are some
people who do not like too much salt.

SMALL POULTRY HOUSE BEST

The simplest and most comfortable
building is always the best. Two i'm
portant essentials are that it shall
be easily cleaned out and that it shall
contain no harbors for the red mite,
that cannot easily be reached with
a liquid spray.
II the house is difficult to clean it
will seldom be cleaned. If it has a
board floor or a dropping board with
nests under it red mites will get in and
cannot be dislodged.
They will get under the board floor
by the millions and one cannot reach
them with insecticide, and at night
they Will make life a burden to the
fowls resting in the house.
They get underneath dropping
board by millions. and If the nests are
made under 1t they will fairly swarm
In them. and they are safe from harm.
An open room is always best, with
perches hinged to the wall, so they can
quickly be turned up out of the way
when the cleaning is done.
Nests should be single, so that they
can quickly be emptied and sprayed
and replaced. Small houses are best
because they are warmest and easily
cleaned out.
A large house is cold and full Of
drafts A dozen small houses connect
ed together by simple scratching sheds
are vastly better than one large house,
and they do not cost so much.
always advise the building of houses
with large scratching sheds attached;
then when shut in by stormy weather
the fowls will live in the scratching
sheds and only sleep and lay in the
houses.-Mrs. Belle Bebe.
