his neighbor There are no figures
showing the saving of feed by the use
of a good feeding floor, neither can we
find any figures showing that hogs do
better when fed upon a feeding floor,
yet very seldom do we find a farmer
who has ever used a feeding floor
hut who will say that a feeding floor
saves its own cost in feed every year
Recently several concrete feeding
doors were made on the university
farm and a definite record was kept of
the time and material on the two
floors which were made first. The
floors were laid upon four inches of
Cinders, the rough concrete was u
inch thick, while the top or face was
II inch thick. The proportions of the
material for the base or bottom OF the
concrete were ! part cement, parts
sand, and ; parts pinch stone. The
top was part cement, IL parts sand.
and parts stone. 1t took man and
team two hours to haul and place the
cinders, which was figured at 80 cents
1t required - hours common labor at
l7is cents and hours time of me-
chanic at 80 cents. All told. the labor
amounted to $4.S3; $500 pounds of 2.

hundred on the ground at the works,
$500 pounds OF sand which cost 5
cents per hundred on the ground 900
pounds of chip which cost 1919 cents
on the ground, and p sacks of cement
were used which cost 45 cents per

this time last year local commission
men said it would go several cents
higher within the next few days. In
previous years, they said, the market
at this season had been flooded with
country butter, sold by farm matrons
and maidens laying in their Christ
mas money, and the country product
had kept the price down to earth.
This year there has been little country
butter offered, and the reason as
signed is the decreasing popularity of
the churn and butter paddle with the

BOYS CORN CLUBS.

Special Agent Knapp Tells Of Rules
Governing.
The following letter was received
by Agent Graham with the request
that it be published in the interest
o. the boys corn clubs of the state:
March 4, 1911.
To the Boys of Oklahoma:
You are expected to bring great
distinction to your state this year.
You have a great opportunity and l
believe you are going to rise to the
occasion. The prizes offered to you
by Senators Owen and Gore, as well
as those offered by citizens in the var
ious counties, show the interest your
leading men have in you and your
work.
Allow me to call your attention to
the prize of one thousand dollars in
gold given by Senator Robt. L. owen.
As a rule prizes have gone to one or
two boys in each club who stood
highest, but this offer is different You
will have the chance to honor your
club, your county and your state. as
we'll as yourself. Senator Owen will
give 81 900 in gold as follows: Five
hundred to the county club which
makes the best record with forty
boys: $500 to the club which comes
second, and 5000 to the club which
comes third.
There may be more than forty boys
in a county club, but when it comes
to the time to select the team to rep
resent the county in the contest with
other counties, only forty with the
best records will be chosen. You can
see how every boy in the distinguish
ed group of forty will get fine prize
as his share of the gold. Furthermore
this office will design and furnish a
beautiful badge for every boy in the

prize winning forties. Each group of
forty will be sub-divided into four
classes, first, second, third and fourth
and the wards apportioned to each.
AS you already know, Senator Gore
offers his prize trip to Washington
again. Every member of our corn
clubs in Oklahoma has the opportunity
to work for this wonderful trip.
Now you may be anxious to know
what you must do. In the first place
be sure that you are member Of
county corn club. If there is no club
in your county, ask your county su-
perintendent of education to organize
one. The business men will offer more
prizes and the teachers will help.
Our agents will advise you and talk
to your meetings whenever they can.
Give your name and address to your
teacher with the request that it be
sent to the county superintendent of
education, or to the county organizer
of the club. When the names and ad-
dresses are sent to this office we shall
send circulars and bulletins from time
to time throughout the year, giving
suggestions on seed selection, prep
aration, fertilization, and cultivation.
Prepare your acre of land if you have
not already done so, because the time
is short and all lines of work must
be rushed.
You will be judged this fall on four
points in connection with your crop,
viz:
Yield, 30 per cent.
Showing of profit, 80 per cent.
Best ten ears, 20 per cent.
History of crop, 20 per cent.
Total, 100 per cent.
1t will be necessary to keep an ac-
curate account and a careful record
OF all expenses and work. We shall
send circulars and report forms CIV
ing suggestions. You want to make a
large yield, but you must be economi-
cal, and do such profitable farming
that it will demonstrate to all of your
neighbors that large crops can be
made at small cost. You will need
to get good seed which has made
large crops in Oklahoma or nearby.
In the fall select your best ears from
the best stalks in the field for exhibit
and for seed. 1t is very important
for you to study the circulars and
bulletins and study the corn, the soil
and other conditions, so that you can
write history Of your crop in simple
clear language, showing that you
have learned some Important pr.nci-
pies of good farming.
Get busy and show what kind of
stuff you boys are made Of We
stand ready to advise and aid you in
every way possible.
Very truly yours,
S. A. KNAPP,
Special Agent in Charge.
