Whitmore in Interview
Predicts Defeat of Creager

There win be no actiVe iusurgeut
movement IN Oklahoma this yeaAs
This state will sustain its reputation
of being in the reactionsry column
This does not signify. however, thai
the republican standpat nominees 70,
congress will be elected. In the thin
congressional district there is ths
same character and politically the
same quantity Of feeling, against ma.
chine dictation and standpat policies
as exists in the second district. Crea.
ger has as little show as Morgan to
be elected"
The Morgan referred to is Dick 7
Morgan, member from the Second Ok
lahoma district, against whom Elmer
L. Fulton, Of Oklahoma City. is nomin.
ated. and whom Mr. Whitmore predicts
will be returned to the democratic.
Lineup in the next congress. The de
duction Of this writer is such as to.
set the "Creager woods afre" and the
standpat newspapers are insisting
that the dope sheets are not written
SO man from some other state can
make such positive statements. c.
the other hand. political laborers in
both parties are agreeing with Nr.

ly as to conditions in the Third dis.

Mr.. Creager is attempting TO make

the Third district To the standpat.
ters, Mr.. Creager gives it out he stands
with the regulars so steadfast that
often he is taken for Joe Cannon At
; Vinita. early in the campaign, Mr.
ICreager stated he was a standpatter.
He said he was willing to take the
Icredit, if any was due, for being a
regular. He said he was also willing
TO take any censure. It was this cen.
sure that gave Mr.. Whitmore the
knowledge Of political conditions in
the Third district, and in the Second
district.
The statement has been made that
Mr.. Creager would be an insurgent il
the insurgents controlled congress,
and this is the disturbing condition in
the republican ranks. If the congress.
man is standpatter as he says he is
only because the regulars control the
organization, he overlooked an oppor.
tunity to get into the progressive
move, when the rules were revised
But he stuck to Cannon and the regu
lars, voted for the old rules, as his
congressional record shows, and never
aided the insurgents in any way
though he would have the progress

Mr.. Whitmore took all of thes'
cross-statements in consideration, dis
cussed them with republicans ant
democrats, and he found there was {

clude the possibility of Mr. Creageri

paign committee was little boy in
school he received a sound thrashing
for falling to properly interpret the
common expression Of "a little or no

reciting and they were discussing the
New England fisheries. When Billy
Samuel was asked about fishing he
said that a man sat on the rock-ribbed
coast of once-republican Maine and
caught a gee-whopper Of a fish in a
little of no time How long is that"
asked the teacher. Its little Of no
time, replied Billy A second and a
third time Billy made that answer. A
thrashing was the only method the
pedagogue Of that early day thought
necessary to employ TO make a boy
tell what he didn't know.

Add to your monthly check the advan-
tage which the skim milk has been to
pigs and chickens; the number of dishes
Of ice cream which have gone as treats
to your friends and family; the milk
in various forms, even the baking pow
der bill saved by using soda and sour
milk or cream is quite an item if you
use warm biscuits, etc., frequently And
then think of what your bill of fare
would have been without the COW!
The best dairymen carry accurate
watches, and work up to them. The
milking hour is less movable than the
dinner hour. The man who fancies he
can skip milking occasionally is not
in the dairy busines with a good show
of making money.
A three-cent brush should be kept for
washing the hands after milking; and
another is most efficient for washing
strainer and pals, cleansing and remov-
ing dirt much better than a c1oth.-Tn-
land Farmer.
The COWS that are really profitable
have to answer for the sins of those
that are not. Is that fair to good
COWS? We all know it is not, but it
is a fact that the poor cows set the
pace for the dairy The first thing
every dairyman should do is to find out
the drones and clean them out That
will give the good COWS chance to
show how good they really are.
A handful of bran is sometimes
more effective in inducing an unruly
COW to stand than half a dozen straps.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-02-01
Sailing the Cows.

A supply of salt available whenever
the COWS want it is necessary to main
tain a high yield of milk. Sailing feeds
for dairy COWS once a week is not suf-
fcient. 1t is a good plan to keep rock
salt under shelter where the COWS can
get at it at will, and then feed loose salt
once a week in such quantities as the
COWS will eat. Loose salt may be used
exclusively if it can be sheltered from
rain and snow. 1t is not best to mix
salt with feed, for frequently the COWS
will get more salt than they need, which
will reduce the flow. Cows having salt
kept before them at all times i'll separate
compartments will not too much
An overfeed Of salt to COW that has
been deprived of it for some time acts
like poison and produces an irritation

View Of Dairying.

There never was a better time to
engage in the dairy business than the
present, as every indication points one
way towards steadily higher prices for
dairy products. Only a few years ago,
throughout the Middle West, when far
mers were asked to invest only a few
dollars in milk cans, SO as to ship cream,
they often made the remark that they
we're afraid to invest so much for fear
the dairy business would be over before
the cans were worn out. At that time
the United States was doing quite an
export business in dairy products, which
of course, helped to regulate and main
tain prices. 1t was generally believed
that the volume Of export trade would
remain low or lower. The opposite has
been the fact.
Home demand has increased with the
growth of the country so that today
there is hardly any export business in
dairy products From 1880 to 1905 the
butter exports fell off 81 per cent, while
the cheese exports fell off from the 1880
total Of 123,OOO,OOO pounds to only s.
100000 for 1905. The price increase has
been steady all through this period, ir-
respective of hard times.
With Our climate conditions SO fa-
vorable to dairying and our soil so we'll
adapted to growing the best of feed, it
is certain no man can make a mistake
in engaging in the dairy business and
pushing it year after year for all it is
worth There is no gamble in da1ry1ng
whatever it is as certain in its returns
for the man who goes into it in earnest
as is the interest on government bOndS=

Of the milk On the other hand, plenty
of good feed increases the quality of
milk until the animal reaches her maxi
mum production. What has been said
with regard to the influence of feed upon
the quality of milk is equally true rela
tive to the amount of butter that can be
made from a given quantity of milk No
method of feeding has yet been dis
covered that so improves the quality of
the milk as to make a given quantity
of milk produce more butter at one time
than another. The quality of milk varies
during the different stages of lactation,
but this is entirely independent of the
influence of feed. The above statements
are based on the teachings Of carefully
conducted experiments They are con-
trary to the general belief that the better
the animal is fed the better the quality
of the milk produced.-Kansas Farmer.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-02-01
Buying a Dairy Sire.

Any man with a herd of ten COWS
can afford to head his herd with a
pure bred sire. Many men are salts
fed if they can buy a registered calf
and the registration is about all they
get. 1t don't make a sire better because
he is registered The question is,
"What are the calf's ancestors and
what is their record?" The best pure
bred sire at the head of the herd means
more than one-half the herd Buy only
of man i'll whom you have confidence.
Buy a sire that has been tried and has
produced a daughter of high produc
ton, even if it was an aged sire. Buy
on the records Of the dams back of him.
Buy sire with dams that were great
producers.

Possibilities In Dairying.

There is more in farming than the
single problem of seeing how large a
crop can be harvested from an acre of
ground Every bale of cotton, every
ton of corn, every carload Of cantaloupes
takes from the soil large amount of
plant-food or soil fertility For in
stance, when the cotton farmer sells a
ton of seed cotton, for which he obtains
about $12O, he at the same time sells
from his farm $12 to SIS worth of fer
tility. But the dairyman, when he sells
a ton of butter worth $500 Or $500, sells
from his farm only about so cents worth
or fertility Whilst the dairyman is
producing the ton of butter his animals
have produced IS to 20 tons Of good fer
tilizer worth altogether $50 or $40. The
cotton grower who sells his seed cotton
returns no fertility to his fields, but his
crop has robbed his soil at the rate of
