A New min for CnttIa.

The Oklahoma State Board Of Agri-
culture has adopted a new dipping So
luton for cattle. The crude oil meth
cd has been abandoned on account Of
its often injurious effect on steers
All cattle shipped in from Texas must
be dipped in order to keep out Texas
fever by killing the ticks, which carry
the disease. The new dip is an arsen-
ical solution, much cheaper than the
crude oil, just as effective and less In
furious. 1t is made by boiling 10
pounds of commercial arsenic, "a
pounds Of sal soda and l gallon Of
pine tar In 40 gallons of water 1t Is
then increased to so gallons by adding
water, and this solution is enough for
450 gallons Of water when mixed with
1t. The cost is about a cent a gallon,
or about 25 cents per steer in dipping.
The only danger from the use of this
dip Is that steer might accidentally
swallow some of the solution, quart
Of which would cause death.

Clue Laws of Cavaliers Much More
strict Than Those of PuritanH.
The blue laws Of the Puritans
weren't in 1t with the blue laws OF
I'D Virginia, though it has always been
supposed that the cavaliers of the
southland cared more for high living
and frivolity than for good behavior
and order. In 1862 the following laws
were enacted In that State:
Every person who refuses to have
his child baptized by lawful minister
(Church Of England) shall be amerced
1000 pounds of tobacco, half to the
parish, half to the informer.
To steal or unlawfully kill any hog
that is not his own the offender shall
pay to the owner 1000 pounds of to-
bacco and as much to the informer,
and in case Of inability to pay shall
serve as slave two years, one to the
owner, one to the informer.
No marriage shall be reputed valid
in law but such as Is made by a min
lister according to the laws of England
The minister who doth marry contrary
to this act shall be fined 10000 pounds
OF tobacco
II married woman shall SANDER a
person the woman shall be punished
by ducking, and If the damages shall
be adjudged more than 500 pounds of
tobacco her husband shall pay, or the
woman receive a ducking for every
500 pounds so adjudged against her
husband II he refuse to pay the to-
bacco.
Enacted that the Lords Day be kept
holy and no Journeys or work done
thereon, and all persons inhabiting In
this country shall resort every Sun
day to church and abide there quietly
and orderly during the common pray
ers and preaching, upon the penalty
of being fined so pounds of tobacco.
Any person inhabiting this country
and entertaining a Quaker in or near
his house SHALL for every time of such
entertainment, be fined 5000 pounds of
tobacco, half to the county, half to the
informer.
Every master of vessel that shall
bring any Quakers to reside here after
July 1 Of this year shall be fined 5000
pounds Of tobacco, to be levied by dis
tress and sale of his goods, and he
then shall be made to carry him, her
or them out of the country again.
The court in every county shall set
up near the Court House, in public
and convenient place, pillory, pair
Of stocks, whipping post and duck
ing stool. Otherwise the court shall
be fined 5000 pounds of tobacco.

The illustration of a feed box is
self-explanatory, and with the follow
ing list of dimensions should be easy
to build: The legs are made from
4x4s 81 inches on the high side, saw
ing bevel at one end of IL inches;
the sides are 2x12 inches; the length
of the box is feet. The bottom Is
made by joining seven common floor
boards, generally using fence flooring
clear of knots as possible. The best
way to lay the bottom is to take
16-foot fence boards, laying the two
end 2x4 cross pieces inches from
the end. Across the center lay two
other 8 inches apart, saving the bot
tom in two to make the bottoms for
two boxes. The 2x4 across the center
which is used for supporting the cen
ter of the bottom, should be made Of
hard wood. Clamps go around this
2x4 and over the top of the box. Use
a 16-inch clamp, such as commonly
used for building hay racks; bore
through the 2x4, place the clamp bot
tom side up over the side of the box
and draw 1t up tight. The lower edge

Reducing the Ment Bill.

In many American families meat is
eaten two or three times a day; in
such cases the simplest way of reduc.
ing the meat bill would very likely be
to cut down the amount used either
by serving /. 1t less often or by using
less at a time. Deficiency Of protein
need not be feared when one good
meat dish day is served, especially
If such nitrogenous materials as eggs,
milk, cheese and beans are used in
stead. In localities where fish can be
obtained fresh and cheap, 1t might
well be more frequently substituted
for meat for the sake of variety as
well as economy. Ingenious cooks
have ways of extending the flavor"
of meat; that is. of combining a small
quantity with other materials to make
large dish, as in meat pies, stews,
and similar dishes.

sown broadcast, are not too many on
average land, average seasons; and
about one-half bushel less when
drilled In, is looked upon as about
right by most oat growers.
Many good farmers differ, however,
on this, many thinking peck will
bring as good or better results. There
are varieties of oats with very large
berry which would have to be In
creased to get the same number OF
plants to the acre that the very small
berry oats would give. Still, as a
rule, a large vigorous seed will pro-
duce a large vigorous plant and this
would need more room than smaller
one. The season and soil make con-
siderable difference, too, with the
amount Of seed. Pasturing grain
with sheep or other light stock, tends
to thicken 1t, also to shorten the straw

quently adds to the length of time for
ripening. When there is danger Of
oats lodging, thick seeding tends to
prevent 1t.

A great many Of the troubles Of the
horse come when the owner thinks he
Is treating him the best in winter
when there Is little work and the
horse is turned out to pasture, or to
an alfalfa stack. There are a num-
Der of points to keep in mind when
disposing of the horse for the winter,
says Colorado bulletin.
First of these is the condition of his
teeth. Remember, II he has been liv-
ing largely on chop feed. or other
grain that requires little mastication,
that his teeth may not be in condition
to handle the roughage of the pasture
or the poor quality of hay which is
usually fed to horses that are not
working. He may be parrot-mouthed
and not able to bite off the grass
The teeth should by all means be
examined by a veterinarian, If the
owner is incapable. Rough feed must
be we'll chewed before it can be prop
erly digested.

CHAPTER Ky.

Major Jen sprang to his feet with q
loud cry. The information that Bat
tersea was the criminal took him so
utterly by surprise that for the mo-
ment he was tongue-tied. Then, when
he recalled the feeble and emaciated
form of the old tramp, when he recol-
lected his weak intelligence; he alto
gether declined to believe that such a
creature could have conceived and ex-
ecuted a triple crime-the theft of the
devil stick-the murder of Maurice
the stealing of the body. Battersea
had not sufficient craft or strength
to do such things. With a shrug of
his shoulders the Major resumed his
seat.
| You must be mistaken, Meg" he
said, in quiet voice. "Whosoever may
be guilty, Battersea, for physical and
mental reasons, must be innocent"
That you must prove" replied Meg,
dryly, "and in accusing Battersea I go
only on your own premises. You said
that the man who stole the devil-stick
who had it in his possession, must be
the guilty person. You see the devil
stick there" She pointed to the table.
We'll, l obtained that from Battersea."
How did you obtain it?"
Knowing that collected curiosities,
he came to sell it to me-"
"a proof of his innocence" cried Jen,
promptly IF the man had been guilty,
he certainly would not offer the evil
dence of his guilt for sale. Where did
he obtain this devil ?"
Out of your smoking room, pre-
sume," said Meg. But have not ques-
toned him, as l thought it best that
you should examine him yourself"
Certainly, when I can find him
Where is he now"
Round at your stables with my
groom. l brought him over with me-"
Thank you, Meg" said Jen, cordial

and have him in. l may be wrong. He
may be innocent, but if you force him
to confess how he obtained possession
of the devil-stick you may get at the
truth-and perhaps at the name Of the
murderer"
1T won't be the name of Battersea,"
said Jen, touching the button of the
bell. "He had no motive to steal nv
devil-stick, or to kill Maurice, nor could
he have any reason to take possession
of a dead body. Besides" added Jen,
returning to his seat IF this tramp
were guilty, he would scarcely put MS
neck in danger by offering you the dew

left the room again for the purpose of
bringing in old Battersea for examina-
ton. While waiting, neither Meg nor
the Major spoke, as they both consid
cred that nothing further could be said
until the truth was forced from the
tramp. Then the present aspect of the
case might change, and an important
step might be taken towards the solu-
tion of the mystery.

DANE LOSES INDIAN BRIDE.
Gallant Officer Who Rose to Power
i'm Tribe is Taken Away by Troops.

Copenhagen.-Some years ago
certain Danish officer found himself
in Indian territory in South America,
and one day, when rowing about with
a comrade, they met red indian
girl, wearing a big gold ring In her
nose. Without a word, the Danes
companion brutally tore the ring
from it's place. causing the girl to
scream pitifully. The officer grew
angry and struck his ruffianly COM
rade a severe blow with his sword and
restored the ring to its suffering
owner.
The Indians never forgot this and
received the officer into their tribe.
He trained the son of a chieftain in
the use of the sword, and by degrees
he himself advanced to a position of
authority in the tribe. Eventually he
took as his wife one of the Indian wo-
men and lived two happy years in
idyllic peace, but one day when on
hunting expedition. the Dane and his
Indian companions were surrounded
by Argentine troops and all were
/ made prisoners. The Danish officer
was not allowed to return to his ad-
opted home but was sent off by the
Argentine authorities to Buenos
Ayres and has not seen his young In
dian wife again.

BEAUTIFUL TROPHY
CUP ON DISPLAY

The beautiful silver cup offered by
A. L. Schaefer, the local jeweler, for
the best pen of Buff Orpington
chickens exhibited at the Pendleton
poultry show is now on exhibit in the
Schaefer jewelry story window where
it has been attracting a great deal of
attention. 1t will be left there for a
day or two and then taken to Milton
and placed on exhibit until show
tim.
The cup is valued at s25 and must
be won three times before ownership
is secured. 1t was won the first time
last year by L. J.McIntyre of Milton
on a pen of White Orpingtons. He
had a beautiful exhibit last year, his
birds being the objects Of much ad-
miration and favorable comment. He
will probably be back this year with
an even better exhibit as he is anxious
to obtain permanent ownership of the
trophy.
The cup is of FURNISHED silver, gold
lined and stands IA inches high. The
bowl is seven inches in diameter.
