A gentleman never snatches his
Trousers away from his wife when he
discovers her going Through his pock-
cts. He only hopes she will leave him
enough with which to go downtown in
the morning. He is perfectly welcome
to go through her purse any time and
help himself to anything he can find.
That is what married life means. A
man should not allow his feelings to
be hurt when his wife runs ACROSS
loose change or a roll in his pockets;
he ought to play the game and take
such little conjugal pastimes for

Commission for Counties.

Pierre.-While there was more or
less comment about the close of the
last legislative session as to the posi-
bility of applying the commission form
of government to the management Of
state affairs, it was not taken at all
seriously, but now the adoption of
such form of control for the affairs
of counties is being pushed as a prac-
teal plan in some sections of the state,
the theory advanced being that if such
a system is good for a city government
as an advance in scientific manage
ment Of public affairs, the management
of the business of county, which is
SO similar to the management of the
affairs of a city might well be brought
under the same plan. Since the move
ment is under way for commission
government, it is likely to be spread
out in its application.

Business in the Home

Nowhere is there more need for
definite knowledge than in the
kitchen and upon no one is there
more responsibility for definite
weights and measures than the house
wife; yet it is seldom that facilities
are at hand for eXactness. Too often
she must guess at the various proper
tions used in preparing foods and the
results are not always satisfactory.
Wholesome foods are very impor
tant to every member of the family
and too much pains cannot be taken
in preparing them. The health and
energy of farm hands greatly depend
upon the foods eaten. The profits
from the farm viii always depend
upon the efficiency of the work hands
and the mental, physical and moral
capacities of the children demand the
proper nourishment. This places
great responsibility upon the Shout
ders of the one who supervises the
of the foods. She must
use great care and intelligence to
perform this responsible work.

Ardm0re Dairy and
Ice Cream Factory

The Ardmore Dairy & Ice Cream
Factory was established about TWEEN
! ty years. Although it started
with only small herd of cows, it
has, ike many other industries OF
the state, grown until Mr.. West,
the proprietor, is said to own and
operate the largest and best indi-
vidual herd in the state, and one
of the largest in the entire south
west.
The herd consists of grade Hol-
stems and Jerseys. All of the COWS
now in the herd are of Mr.. Vests
own raising, and he has taken espe-
cial care to breed and raise a herd
of the very best dairy type, in which
he has succeeded far beyond his
highest expectations. And, during the
past winter a number or the COWS
have given better than 10 pounds OF
milk per day, testing from $50 to
$50 per cent butter fat.
The entire herd is a model dairy
herd, and all the individual cows
are young, in perfect condition and
health.
Mr.. West has recently added
king of HAWTHORNE" to be
used as a herd bull. This registered
Holstein bull was recently purchased
in Illinois, and is closely connected
to the famous ''DeKOL" family o.
Holstein-Fresian which is one of the
best families in the world. This bull
is certainly a model and one of the
best ever seen in the state or in the
whole southwest.
The Ice Cream Factory, in connec-
tion with the dairy, was estsb ished
about six years ago. At first the ice
cream business was very small, but
the trade increased at once and the |
plant was enlarged by installing the |
--latest machinery of that time and |
run at almost its utmost capacity. |
With the continual increase OF his |
ice cream business, Mr. West is al |
this time remodeling his entire ice
cream plant by putting in com.
plete refrigerating plant, dry harden
ing rooms for ice cream making his
own ice, and in fact putting in an

Hogs and Alfalfa

Alfalfa, accor6 ,Ig . one of the
most intelligent farmers is the best
money making crop. The seed is not
raised mucn in the eastern part of
The state, as it grows better where
there is drier weather. Where rains
are frequent the crop will keep grow
ing and does not run to seed so well
as in the western and dryer parts.
Farmers often have a seed crop that
brings from $25 to $75 an acre. Al
fa.fa is grown on the hills as well as
in the valleys Hogs can be raised
on it in Oklahoma, getting half of
their growth from the alfalfa, then
fattening on a mixed diet of that
product and corn, for two and half
cents pound, gross. This allows for
fair rental for the alfalfa pasture
and the hay. Cases of hog cholera
ale rare where the farms are free
from mud holes. When his hogship
is dry, he will drink the scum from
the mud holes. Hogs need fresh
water to keep them from burning up
on a s.eady corn fed d ct. They
shou d have grass during the grass
season. The old-fashioned way, still
common, was for the farmer to
throw his corn out from the crib to
the whole herd. This custom pro
duced worms and cholera. Soft coal,
pounded up and fed to the hogs, will
cut the worms and save a herd from
cholera, if given in time. A farmer
with an alfalfa pasture for his hogs
in summer and with the hay for them
in winter, will raise hogs tor half
what it costs him to feed corn alone.
