THE HOME WATER SUPPLY.

V
 The healtlfulness prevailing in any home depends in part upon the whole someness of the food consumed, but in much larger measure upon the water supply. the purity of which is largely affected by the proximity of contami- hating causes, such as the seepage from the barnyards and cesspools. Where it is not feasible to install a toilet system with water tight drain age to cesspool located at a safe dis tance from the water supply the most rational equipment for the outhouse is a substantial drawer made of two inch stuff, the contents of which can be killed by the addition of slaked lime from time to time and which can be hauled afield and dumped as often as may be necessary By such dis posal of night soil the danger of a con- tamination of the water supply is re- duced to a minimum We realize that this is not pleasant subject to dis cuss. but it is practical and vital and concerns chiefly those who are least able to foot heavy doctors bills. Where a cesspool is already in bad shape conditions may be improved by dumping in half barrel or so of quicklime, which will put quietus on any disease germs which may be lurking there. It should then be clean ed out and filled up and better sys- .em installed.

 T went into drug store just now" he told a policeman, and I asked a bold female clerk for some cold cream for my wife. She handed me out this quart jar of the stuff. more than my wife can use in ten years. and charged me dollar for it. On the way out l saw a stack of twenty-five cent jars of the same thing. Do you think man clerk would ever play a customer a trick like that?" f

Treating seed corn with coal tar by stirring a small quantity of it in a peck of seed at time so that each kernel is smeared with a little of the tar is said to keep the crows and go- phers from touching the corn after it is planted. If the kernels are inclined to stick together more corn should be worked in and possibly a little flour, which will tend to keep the kernels apart

If the truth were known it would probably come to light that the in- creased cost of living is due to a sub stantial increase in freight and express rates as well as to a per&eptible infa- tion of the circulating medium and scarcity of some staple food supplies. This advance in transportation rates has been very quietly made, but the increase has been considerable. and the middleman and distributor i'll order to come out whole has had to add this advance to the prices he had been pre- viously asking for his goods, which were already high.

Where it is not desired to grow an intensive crop like strawberries in the young orchard beans or corn makes an excellent substitute where soil and eli matic conditions are favorable. The tillage of these crops gives the soil that stirring which is most beneficial for the growing trees, while neither pulls largely on the soil fertility. In sections where the summer sun is very hot and q shade is needed for the trees corn would be preferable to beans, while the presence of the grow ing corn would lessen the damage to the young trees from grasshoppers in case they were numerous. In the first year many follow the practice of hav- ing the young tree take the, place of a hill of corn, while others allow no corn to grow in any of the four ad- joining hill spaces. Of course the only condition under which corn would be permissible in young orchard would be that of repeated and frequent culti- vations.

There is nothing calculated to check milk flow in dairy cow more ef.ec- tually than being chased around yard by cursilg, loud mouthed man dr boy and being ever and anon pounded over head or trump with club or milk stool Not long ago we saw a pretty likely looking heifer put through this kind of mill by q couple of little heath ems. whose treatment would be suffi- cient to cause COW to give skimmilk, sour milk or no milk at all. It may suffice to say that the father of these boys wasn't in the dairy business for profit or he would have got busy on the boys with big slat.

Of all shortsighted initial economies there is none worse than the buying of runty and unthrifty fruit trees just because they can be got cheap, and this is true whether one is setting an orchard for himself or expects to turn it over to some customer at bearing age. It is the start a tree gets, as in the case of calf or a pig, during the first three years that largely deter mines not only its later beauty, but utility as a horticultural thing, and hence every reasonable precaution should be taken to see that the choice of the young trees as well as the care given should be of the best.

A fellow may not suffer anything more than physical discomfort if he orders his undershirt and prunes from a distant mail order house, but he had better pass the practice up when it comes to grass seed and order from home man who he can bat with a stuffed club if the seed is not pure and as represented. Not as yet is there in force an adequate federal pure seed law; hence a fellow has no re- course for damages if he orders from a firm outside of his own state and gets worthless or even pernicious grass seed. A number of states have effec- tive pure seed laws, and where seller and buyer reside in such states the later's rights are amply safeguarded.

It is generally conceded by expert enced fruit men that heavy pruning during the dormant period tends to produce heavy wood growth the sea- son following. This type of pruning is therefore desirable for young trees where growth of wood and the build ing of good frame are the chief aim With mature bearing trees the prun- ing, If proper care has previously been given, should be light and should be done during July and August, which will induce fruit rather than wood production.

Railroad to Northwest

Extending into the richest farm pro-
ducing section of the state, the Okla
homa City Chamber of Commerce,
through its board of directors, Monday
closed negotiations with the officials Of
the Denver, Kingfisher and Gulf Rail-
road company TO construct line into
the northwestern part of Oklahoma,
which for years has patiently awaited
the coming of the rail and the engine.
The railroad in its agreement with the
Chamber of Commerce agrees to start
construction within 30 days, and upon
completion Of the road as far as Pied
mont, 10 miles from Oklahoma City, "A
bonus of $4,000 is to be paid. The
Chamber Of Commerce further con-
tracted to allow the railroad company
to use the terminal in the southwest
ern part Of the city, with the agree
ment that the company should pay for
its use. The proposed road will run
from Oklahoma City into the unde-
veloped regions of the northwestern
part of Oklahoma, pass through eleven
Oklahoma counties, three of which are
now without railroads, three Texas
counties and will terminate in the
coal fields of New Mexico.
According to the papers signed the
railroad company must start work on
the proposed line from Oklahoma City
within 80 days, in the failure Of which
the bonus and contracts are to be void
The railroad proposes to establish an
interurban line from Kingfisher to Ok
lahoma City, the cars to be run either
by gasoline or steam propelled engines
Cars will run every two hours from
the two cities, and will be in operation
by January /, 1911. The interurban
line will be similar to that of the
Grand Island Interurban line out OF
ST Joseph Mo.
UNDER OLD CHARTER
The railroad company was repre-
sented 10y J. M. Mcdonald, president
VI tiiN iphhf hhu n
secretary. The charter of the Denver,
Kingiisher & Gulf Railway company
was issued by the Territory Of Okla
homa in 1903, and recently the stock
was bought by the new company. The
present company owns 10 miles OF
grading, from Kell to O'Keene. known
as the Cunningham grade, and has q
survey completed out of Oklahoma
City.
The proposed railroad starts from
Oklahoma City and runs through the
northwestern part of the state into the
coal fields of New Mexico, and to Den
YER, Colo. 1t will run from the metropo-
lis to Piedmont, where it intercepts
the Fort Smith and Western; thence
to Kingiisher, crosses the main line OF
the Rock Island. The Lawton- Enid

branches of the Rock Island are cross.

crosses the Enid-yernon (Texas)
branch of the Frisco near Southland,
and the Orient at Longdale. At Sell
ing two lines branches out, one taking
western route and the other TO the
northwest, meeting again at Guymon.
The latter will run from Selling to
Woodward, Fort Supply. Buffalo,
Beaver City, and to Guymon. The
other from Selling to Arnett, through
Texas TO Guymon, and thence to New
Mexico
The opening up of the territory to
the northwest which this railroad will
do, means the development of the re-
sources of that part of the state. The
products will have its choice of several
markets The cattle, hogs, sheep,
will find market at the Oklahoma
City packing plants. Competition
with the Kansas, Missouri, Colorado
and New Mexico wholesale houses and
manufacturing establishments is now
made possible from similar concerns
of Oklahoma.
WHAT 1T MEANS.
There is no direct railroad from
the northwestern part of Oklahoma to
the center and shippers have been
forced to use the indirect lines, caus-
ing great loss of time, delays, incon-
veniences, damage to goods. To the
northwest, the new road means that
commodities in every line will be made
cheaper, prices lowered on manufac-
tured articles, and higher price for
grain, cattle and farm products. 1t
means for Oklahoma City's packing
houses the creation of source of sup
ply of cattle, hogs and sheep. This
territory alone will almost furnish live
stock enough to keep one of the pack
ing plants in steady operation. The
Wholesale houses will be able to COM
pete with the Kansas wholesale con-
Germs, and every business will be
helped IN proportionate degree
The counties of Harper, Beaver and
Cimarron, in Oklahoma, will now have
at least one railroad. Never before
has these counties had railroad, and
the development that the road will
cause, is unlimited. Many other
counties with just one railroad will
receive the untold benefits that al
ways from the establishment OF rail.
road The new road will cross the
counties of Oklahoma, Canadian,
Kingfisher, Blaine, Dewey Woodward

Ellis.
COAL PRICES
With the construction of the new
railroad, line direct into the coal
fields of New Mexico from Oklahoma
City is made, and upon completion of
the road, the coalfields of the eastern
part of the state will find competition,
and the people OF Oklahoma, as far
