IS NOW IN JAIL
CHIEF CRAZY SNAKE CAPTURED
BY THE OKLAHOMA
MILITIA.
ORIGIN OF The TROUBLE
NEGROES AND HALF BREEDS LED
VAGRANT LIVES AND MO-
LEsTED FARMERS.

Guthrie. Okla. March 31.-Crazy
Snake has been captured. He is being
held under heavy guard at Thompson's
farm, west of Checotah. This was con-
firmed by telephone message from
Checotah at 1:30 this morning. He will
be taken to Jail in Muskogee at day
break.
Trouble has been brewing in this
section for year over the allotment OF
lands. Crazy Snake persuaded his
clansmen, many of them negroes and
half breeds, not to accept the allot-
ment. The old chief stands for all the
traditions of his race. particularly that
of the unrestricted hunting ground.
Although many of his tribesmen Sc
cretly secured their allotments, they
dared not tell their leader, who would
have expelled them from the commun-
ity.
For year the redmen and negroes,
refusing to live on their farms, had
detriment of chicken roosts, clothes
lines and pastures.
Deputy Sheriff Patee a week ago
started for the Hickory Stomping
Grounds to arrest an Indian who had
sold his farm too often. The warrior
seized a rifle and refused to inhaSit
the white mans jail. His comrades
also armed themselves, and the deputy
retreated.
The following day wednesday, Pa
tee returned with a small posse, in
Guiding farmers named Krops., John
son and Fawler, whose homes, being
near the Stomping Grounds, were in
jeopardy. Fawler received load OF
buckshot in the face. The others re-
treated. and the Indians celebrated
their victory by riddling with bullets
the hcmes of Krops, Johnson and Faw-
ler
Meanwhile Crazy Snake was at his
home near Pierce, about fifteen miles
from here He had passed some time
in Washington and the Creeks were
gathering from far and near to hear his
report Sheriff Odom. regarding the
old Chieftain as being at the bottom of
the resistance which had been met, re-
solved upon his arrest. 1t was in this
attempt that the sheriff's son and Dep
uty Baum were killed from volley
fired from Crazy Snakes house.
This started the trouble. Governor
Haskell ordered the First regiment,
Oklahoma Guard, to the scene, and an
other and larger posse was formed.
Before the militia arrived this posse
encountered the Creeks, and there was
lively exchange of shots, during
which Barnett was slain.
With the arrival on Sunday of the
guardsmen, 125 strong, the Indians
took to the hills and scattered.

THE COW AS A MARKET.
Profitable Place to Dispose of the
Produce Raised on the Farm.

The good cow-that COW which con-
verts maximum amount of the
available nutriment in her feed into
milk-is the best market in the coun-
try for the grain grown upon the farm.
Engaging in dairying doesn't mean the
giving up of grain raising. 1t gener-
ally means tilling less number of
acres, but not less grain. Increased
fertility of the land and better tilling
of the soil means greater yields per
acre at greater profit.
A market must be found for that
grain If an elevator man in neigh
boring town pays few cents more
per bushel than the buyer in the home
market the farmer is tempted to haul
his grain to the neighboring town.
Why not sell this grain to the good
dairy COW and save the long haul?
asks the Northwestern Agricultural
ist. She will not have to be very
good dairy COW to return $1.50 in prod.
uce for every dollars worth of feed
she gets. But in doing this why not
sell to a COW that will return over
$500 worth of butter for every dol
lars worth of feed? Where can bet
ter market be found?

RULE FOR FEEDING.
Farmer Must Know His Cows to Be
Able to Feed Profitably.

While all experienced dairymen
must admit that there are no fixed and
set rules by which dairy cows can be
J fed for best results there are certain
principles which may well be followed
Prof. c. H. Echles of the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station has the following
wholesome advice to give on this mat
ter:
1t is possible to feed bunch of
cows economically only when they are
fed as individuals and not as herd.
A too common practice, even in the
otherwise well conducted herds, is for
all animals to be fed the same amount
of grain regardless of the period of
lactation or the quantity of milk indi-
vidual cows are producing. Such feed
ing always lacks economy, as the high
producing COW does not get enough,
and while she may milk very well for
short time, she soon comes down to
lower level. while the lighter produc-
ing cow gets too much and accumu-
lates fat
The following rules regarding the
amount to feed cows covers the case
fairly well:
1. Feed all the roughness they will
eat up clean at all times.
2. Feed one pound of grain per day
for each pound OF butter fat produced
per week, or one pound grain daily for
each three pounds Of milk.
3. Feed all the cows will take with
out gaining in weight.
The rule regarding the amount of
grain to feed per day for each cow ap-
plies best when based upon the
amount of butter fat produced per
week, as this makes it applicable to
any breed. The second part of the
rule in regard to feeding one pound
of grain for three pounds of milk
would not work out In all cases. since
In heavy milking Holstein COW this
gives little too large quantity of
grain, and with Jersey giving very
rich milk, it is little too low.

sToPPAeE AT POINT OF TEAr.
Or. David Roberts Cautions Owners Of
Cows That Have Such Trouble.

A very common trouble In the ordi-
nary dairy Is to find an animal with
the point of the teat closed, either due
to bruise of the teat itself or to in
fection in the milk duct which causes
a little scab to form over the point of
the teat, and unless this is properly
handled with care and cleanliness, the
infection is apt to cause loss Of the
entire quarter.
The proper manner in which to ham
die and treat such cases is to thor
oughly wash the teat in an antiseptic
solution. then dip a teat plug into a
healing ointment and insert 1t into the
point of the teat, allowing same to
remain from one milking to another
In this manner closure of the point of
the teats can be overcome in a very
simple and satisfactory way.
Never use milking tube if 1t can
be possibly avoided. as there is much
danger of injecting the entire quarter
by the use OF the tube.

THE FARM SEPARATOR.
Really the Only Economical Way Of
Handling Cream.

The plan of having small separators
on the farm and sending only the
cream to the factory is now quite COM
mon and on the increase. The skim
milk is thus made available at once for
feeding, and 1t is warm, sweet and not
adulterated with factory washings
The cream only needs to be cared for
and delivered to the factory, making
quite saving in labor of transporta
tion. The cream gathering plan will
do away with the return to the farm
of the contents of filthy skim milk
tank that communicates milk cans and
endangers the lives of calves and pigs
The chance of young stock taking a
disease that may be on distant farm.
the germs of which may be delivered
to the creamery and carried away in
the skim milk to other farms, is also
avoided.
Any system which does away with
the seemingly useless labor of handling
eight or ten pounds for the delivery of
one will be most welcome, says the
Wisconsin Agriculturist. In the sea
son of bad roads 1t is difficult to carry
iaiS Se lodus Vi caus, anu sometimes IL
is impossible to transport milk to the
creamery when cream alone might be
carried. Besides the advantage of
having to haul only a small amount in
stead of large amount. it is an ad-
vantage to have cream removed on the
farm, so that the skim milk may be
fed when fresh. The gathered cream
system with deem set milk gives these
results only partially.

THBEp BY
74'Ezi$zs&2 :
THIS AND THAT ABOUT COWS.
Various Points Which the Successful
Dairyman Must Keep in Mind.

In nearly all cases the farmer who
has good sized herd of cows and no
separator can we'll afford to sell his
poorest cow and buy separator. 1t
will save him money in the end.
A Jersey COW will make more butter
pound for pound of feed consumed
above what is taken by the necess-
ties of the animal than any other
breed because for generations she has
been bred especially for butter pro-
duction.
1t is the COW in good flesh that does
her best in the milk line. When she is
thin and hungry all the time she will
surely put the biggest part of what is
given her on her back This means
loss in the pail and in the butter.
The advantage of dairy education
to any person contemplating engaging
in this business cannot well be over
estimated. declares the Farmers Mail
and Breeze. Much practical education
can be gained in short time in a
dairy school that could scarcely be Sc
cured by years of experience without
instruction.
1t is only in exceptional cases that,
with the exception of mill feeds, the
average farmer can afford to purchase
any considerable amount Of feed. 1t is
selling the feed raised at good price
by feeding to good dairy cows and sell
ing the product that makes dairying
most profitable.
The experiment of churning each
cows milk in a separate churn has
shown that cows which give only a
small quantity of milk often produce a
larger proportion of butter than the
copious mixer. The actual quantity of
milk yielded by COW is not always
a sure criterion of her value as a but
ter-maker.
The production of milk and butter
fat by dairy cows under normal con-
ditions increases with each year up
to the fifth or sixth year, when the
cow is at her best. The length OF
time she will maintain her maximum
production depends on her constitu-
tional strength and the care with
which she is fed and handled.

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
OF Painting Requirements viii Save
Much Expense.

When one sees the surface of a

What is said by the owners to be

birds and every nest is occupied, with

When the birds are disturbed at their
