HOG BUSINESS
IN OKLAHOMA
FINEST OPPORTUNITY EVER PRE-
SENTEO FOR THOSE WHO DE-
SIRE TO START IN BUSINESS.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 10
The man in oklahoma who wishes
to start in the hog business will
now have an opportunity of doing
so with less cash than ever before
in the history of the state, while at
the same time he can be assured
that his new stock will be proof
against the dreaded hog cholera

ton, working under the State Board
OF Agriculture.
Feed is scarce in various portions
of the state and young piss and sows
are finding their way to the Okla
homa City stock yards. From
commercial standpoint, their value is
not nearly so much as it is from
the viewpoint of the swine-raiser
yet many farmers have felt compel-
ed to sell on account of scarcity of
feed. In other portions of the state
there are many farmers who have
more OF less corn. kaTir or other
feed. who would be glad to get
young pigs or piggy sows, if they
could ba secured reasonably.
Knowing th3t it would be bad
thing for the state if these animals
We're simply slaughtered, instead Of
Icing kept to increase the produc-
ton later on, Mr. lizard conceived
the plan of having a pen set aside
at the National Stock Yards at Ok
lahoma City where all hoge sold for
the purpose of being delivered within
the state should be placed, vaccinated
with pure hog cholera serum, un-
der the direct supervision of an eX-
pert from the state A. & VI. College
at saltwater, kept for a period OF
from six to ten days and then dip
ped once in arsenical solution, made
under his direction.
When the animals have been de-
clare1 free from disease, they may
be shipped out in cars or wagons
that have been cleaned and disin-
fected, so that they should reach the
buyer in first class condition. The
managers of the Oklahoma City
packing plants are cooperating with
the Board OF Agriculture as they re-
alize what great harm it would do
the state to turn all the small pigs
and sows into pork and its various
by products.
A large, clean pen has been set
aside at the stock-yards and Mr..
Ikard is ready to commence opera
tions 1t is expected that numer.
ous requests will come in for the
stock in question and that this move
will prove effectual in preventing the |
depletion OF the Oklahoma hogs, |
which was so greatly feared on ac-
,onnt of unfavorable conditions in
some portions of the state.

Fred Scamerhorn Has Caught 35
 Foxes, 28 Skunks and 9 Coons.
 Tn spite of the fact that the present winter has been unfavorable from the standpoint of the hunter and trappor, Fred Scamerhorn, whose skill in wool craft is we'll known. reports gratifying results from his trapping expeditions over Toms Hill, Canaan Mountain and the hills to the south. Since the win ter set in, he has caught no less than thirty-five foxes. twenty-eight skunks and nine coons.
 That this has not been an altogether unproitable harvest of fur bearing game will be readily seen when it is remem- bered that fox skin is worth from $5 to S8, and skunk skins from 50 cents to $3 each.
 Fred expects to catch from 150 to 200 muskrats during the high water of spring, inc skins of which ara worth 75 cents each-a considerable advance over the time when he could get only six cents apiece for them.

JOIN STATE ASSOCIATION
Canaan B. M. A. Holds Most Success
 tuI Meeting ot All.

ful Meeting ot All.
 The smoker and business meeting of the Canaan Business Mems Association, in Odd Fellows Hall, Thursday evening, was one of the most successful and sat- isfactory gatherings the Association has yet held. About forty members were present, and a genuine sinterest was manifested.
 The matter of revising the Articles of Association and By Laws was discussed, and a committee on revision was ap- pointed. consisting of Messrs. J. Clinton Roraback, E, L. Roberts and George Hardenbergh, who will make the re- vision and submit It to the next monthly meeting.
 It was unanimously voted to fix the annual dues at $2, as they were origin ally, and to have the fiscal year begin January hereafter, with annual elec- tion the first Thursday in December.
 A motion that the Association join the State Business Mems Association at once was unanimously carried
 A committee, consisting of Messrs. E, 0. Gillette, W. A. Wright and A. A. Hubbard, was appointed to arrange for demonstration of fruit tree spraying. etc., by Professor Jarvis, of Storrs. on Saturday. March 2S. This proposition was extensively discussed and deemed a desirable move for not only the farmers but others having fruit trees on their premises, and it is expected that the demonstration will prove an attraction for many persons living outside the vii; lage. Since the meeting the plan has been broadened to provide for liar mers' institute" on Thursday instead of Saturday, of which fuller details are given elsewhere in this issue.
 It was voted that President Lyles ap. point committee of three to arrange for some special attraction, in the way of an address by some well known speaker, etc., at each future monthly meeting of the Association.
 Mr Holsapple for the committee on insurance rates, reported that the fire insurance rate experts who recently visited Canaan. had expressed them selves satisfied with the exhibition given by the fire company and with the equip ment, and assured the committee that the insurance rates in Canaan would be reduced.
 The business session adjourned to en- joy the refreshments provided by the smoker committee-Messrs. A. J. Wig ellsworth. Allyn Fuller and Eugene Williams - consisting of sandwiches. pickles, coffee, etc., and a bountifnl supply of cigars, after which many of the guests indulged in a session of gen eral conversation and card playing, and it was a late hour when the last contin- gent departed.

Simple and Effective Device for Put 5..N ting out Fires.
 The Canaan Hose Company has re- ceived supply of the La France chemi- cal fire extinguishers ordered by the in- surance experts who visited town few weeks ago, and will demonstrate them to any who may wish to provide this effective and easily handled device for their places of business, or residences.
 Either Foreman A. J. Wigglesworth or Treasurer Allyn Fuller will demon strate the extinguishers and give such information to all who may be interested.
 The extinguisher is made by the same concern that manufactured the chemical engine which IS now part of the fire company's equipment, and operates in the same way. It is simple. quick and effective, and it's presence in building may be the means of preventing heavy loss in extinguishing blaze before the fire company could reach the scene. A number of the extinguishers have already been spoken for, and the more that can be placed, the greater the security against fire in the community.

He has also recently returned from the Hawaiian Islands
 D.. Ryder was wanted in the great campaign in the Men and Religion For ward Movement in Brooklyn, but de- clined because of his previous engage ment here. Canaan men profit by this and appreciate the privilege thus given them.

Plea for Apple Trees

Prof. 0. D. Jarvis. speaking on the Renovation of neglected apple trees'' Tn connection with the Connecticut agricultural college extension course in the Republican club rooms in Danbury Wednesday evening, urged that better care be given to apple trees in this state. He decried the lack of atte ntion by many orchard owners in permitting their trees to slowly rot or to spread wild, thus de- creasing their productiveness. To illus trate his talk. stereopticon views show ing apple trees in an ideal condition and others ln poor condition were shown.
 Il know a farmer in this state," said the professor, "who raises pigs, has a nice farm and fair sized apple orchard. I noticed that he paid but little atten. tion to the apple trees, but was ever looking after the pigs. I inquired whether the pigs or the apple trees re- turned him the more. The apple trees. he replied, Then why don't you pay as much attention to them as to the pigs?' I asked. 'Oh,' he responded, I don't need to bother with the trees. They don't need any attention
 That is the way with a good many men. They are lstting their apple or ohards run down through lack of atten- tion, though the trees yield them more than do the pigs or other things they raise. You know why-because the pigs do lot more of hollering than the trees. If the trees could holler they would get attention, too."
 Prof. Jarvls spoke of the rejuvenation of trees. describing the proper methods of pruning them. He urged that or chard owners cultivate the smaller trees The trees with the lowest branch high above the ground are no longer desired, he sad, as on the lower trees productive ness is increased from 15 to 25 per cent. He said there should be sufficient large spaces among the foliage to let through the sun rays so that all of the fruit may get colOred. There was large attend auC0.
