Guthrie, May 16. 70 make the
burlesque Squirrel Rifles a genuine
military organization that could be
called upon in time of war is the de.
sire OF Col. Walter Ferguson, editor Of
the Cherokee Republican and the one
man who made the Squirrel Rifles"
famous. IN fact, he originated the
Squirrel Rifles" when he was acting
political secretary to alfalfa Bill'
Murray, father OF Oklahomas state
constitution. The idea Of turning the
burlesuue organization into a compact
military band came to Col Ferguson
when the recent war scare resulted
from the American troops being or
dered to the Mexican border Fergu-
son, whose title cf colonel is purely a
Squirrel Rifle" honor, has, however,
had considerable military experience,
and should his plans materalize the
regiment would become a part Of the
organize state guard
The Squirrel Rifles came into exist
ence following the close Of the consti-
tutional convention in Guthrie in 1907.

MAKE SQUIRREL
RIFLES" REAL

The fate Of the constitution at the
polls and also at the hands OF Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt was in the
balance. The, new state was thor
oughly alarmed and the supporters Of
the constitution, In particular, were up
in arms against any possible defeat It
was at this stage in the game that
Alfalfa Bill7 Murray president Of the
constitutional convention, issued his
challenge that IF necessary he would
call out the Squirrel Rifles to sup
port the constitution.
Immediately the Squirrel Rifles
proposition was taken up by Ferguson
through the newspapers Of the state
and the burlesque organization soon
became very popular one 1t now
numbers several hundred, all officers
ana priyates being commissioned by
Murray as "commanderin-chlef" In
Murrays several campaigns that have
since interviewed the Squirrel Rifles"
have always stood by him, and the or
ganization became also a strong polit-
ical asset, although among its mem
bers it has politicians Of all parties.

CATTLE GUARD IS EFFECTIVE
Novel Device Prevents Cow From
Wandering on Rails and Meeting
Injury.

Chicago-The old story about some.
one asking George Stephenson, the in
ventor of the locomotive, what would
happen to train If a COW wandered
on the line, to which the latter re-
piled he would "be very sorry for the
cow" seems to have found a sym.
pathetic echo in the western states in
the form of novel cattle guard on
railways, the practical utility of which
Is demonstrated in the illustration.
The device claims to effectually pre-.
vent cattle straying up the railway
line and thus meeting with injury or
death from cncoming trains. AS the
cow walks along the track she meets
a fitting platform between the rails
which tips up as she steps upon it.
The COW, imagining her progress to
be barred and not endowed by nature
with superabundance of intelligence

MORE HORSE POWER NEEDED
More Economical Feeding Of Work
Stock on Southern Farms of
Primary Importance.
(By 8. A. KNAPP.)

To use more horse power and less
man power per acre or to quit farm.
ing is a necessity confronting the
south.
There should be more mares on the
farm. In the future few small farm
ers will find 1t profitable to keep
mules; the colts must pay for the ex.
pense OF using more horse power. In
this connection, the more economical
feeding of work stock on the farm Is
Of primary Importance. Feeding q
horse or mule on pulled corn fodder
and corn Is so expensive and out OF
date that 1t is surprising to find any
one doing It. Farmers have fully
proved that pasture for summer and
well-cured hay for winter should be
the main reliance. By a pasture is
not meant brush patch or field Of
weeds, but tract of land we'll set in
nutritious grasses and we'll located so
as to be able to be disable at all times.
The best results are obtained by
providing two pastures, In order to al
ternate in their use, and especially to
allow one to have quite growth Of
grass for late fall feeding. Some
farmers use one pasture for late fall
and spring, and the other during the
summer and early fall months; others
believe that the best results are OBJ
tanned by alternating the use Of these
pastures every month. It Is just as
injurious to the rapid growth of grass
to keep 1t closely grazed as 1t would
be to bush to cut 1t of every morn
ing. 1t Is estimated that three or four
times as many animals can be kept
on a given number Of acres by divid-
ing the land into two pastures and
using them alternately for grazing. 1t
IL certain that the stock does better
under such conditions.

THE HOME NURSE.

What is everybody's business is no.
body's business" This is especially
true in cases Of sickness in the homes
where the nursing, or care OF the pa
tient, devolves upon the members OF
the family. In such cases, where sew
eral try to carry out the physicians
orders, 1t often happens that some or
ders are neglected, each member OF
the family believing that these things
had been attended to by some other
person.
Whenever there is illness in home
and it does not seem advisable, for
various reasons, to employ a trained
nurse. one person should be selected
to take charge of the patient, and this
person should receive all orders from
the physician and be responsible for
their fulfilment
The chief requirements for one who
is to take the part of the nurse in a
home are neatness, quietness and an
ability to carry out the physicians
orders exactly
In her personal appearance, nurse
must be scrupulously clean and neat
Her hair should be tastefully dressed
and free from ornaments. Her hands
should be clean and we'll cared for. A
roughened hand is very annoying to
the patient. The nails should receive
especial attention and should be filed
rather short. A nurse should not wear
any rings for they are liable to catch
on the clothing or the patients hair
and be annoying. The nurses dress
should be Of some washable, cotton
material, soft enough not to rustic
when she walks. White aprons give a
neat and tidy appearance Her shoes
should not be too heavy, permitting
her to step noiselessly about the room
During the twenty-four hours some
provisions should be made for suffl
cient sleep and outdoor exercise for
the nurse. She needs seven or eight
hours sleep and one or two hours for
exercise, besides time in which tc
dress, attend to her toilet require
ments and eat her meals without hur
rying. A nurse who does not have suf
fcient time for sleep and rest becomes
not only physically tired, but mentally
so exhausted that she is incapable OIL
giving proper care to the patient or Of
observing symptoms. For the sake Of
the patient, be sure that the nurse ii
not overworked. She can be relieved
Of her duties by some other person
At such times as she is away from hel
patient, written orders for the substi
tute should be left and she should
make sure that the one left in charge
understands the directions
The nurse always should speak in a
low, well-modulated voice that can be
understood by the patient without any
effort. She should never speak in
whispers or a low tone to third per-
son so the patient can hear the voices
but cannot understand what is being
said. A sick person is very sensitive
