HER "5EsT FRIEND"
A Woman Thus Speaks Of Postum.

We usually consider our best friends
those who treat us best
Some persons think coffee a real
friend, but watch 1t carefully awhile
and observe that 1t is one OF the
meanest of all enemies, for 1t stabf
one while protesting friendship.
Coffee contains poisonous drug
caffeine-which Injuries the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
up disease In one or more organs Of
the body, II its use is persisted in.

rransmlsalbllltx Of Genius.

The sale of relics of Robert and
Elizabeth Browning by executors Of
the estate of their son, the late Robert
Weidemann Barrett Browning, which
began May l, again calls attention to
the fact that the child of a union SO
richly lowered, from the literary
and artistic standpoint, failed to show
traces Of the genius of either parent.
He was an artist, but did nothing ex-
traordinary. 1t would almost seem
that genius not only has a way of
sometimes consuming Its possessor
but also of consuming itself, as far
as the immediate offspring are con-
cerned. At any rate, the evidence as
to it's transmissibllity Is still lacking
although, of course, there are plenty
of facts to justify belief as to the
transmlssibillty of special talents.

ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Judge Carney Grants Writ of Man.
damus In Deep Well Case

The act of the fourth legislature re-
pealing the appropriation act of the
third legislature setting aside $45, 900
to be used in drilling test wells for
artesian water on common or state
school land is not constitutional mas
much as 1t seeks to abrogate a con.
tract between the state and a private
citizen and 1t is further unconstitu-
tional because it failed to express the
subject in its title, according to a rul-
ing of Judge Carney of the district
court in the T. M. Latham mandamus
proceedings against G. T. Bryan, pres
ident of the state board of agriculture.
Under contract with the state
Latham drilled five test wells in the
Panhandle district before the act re-
pealing the appropriation act setting
aside the $4,000 for this work was
passed by the Legislature. He drilled
twenty feet on the sixth we'll and put
in a claim for $10S to President G. T.
Bryan Of the board of agriculture.
Bryan refused to recognize the claim
on the grounds that the last legisla-
ture had repealed the act under which
Latham had contract. Latham,
through his attorneys, McAdams G
Haskell, filed a petition for a writ of
mandamus against Bryan forcing him
to recognize the claim.

LAWYERS ASKED
TO D|SGORGE
GOVERNOR HAS ORDERED WEST
TO RECOVER $4,000 FROM
HUETT AND McKEEVER.
ECHO OF WATERS : PIERCE CASE
Courts Have Held That They Had No
Legal Right to Share In $4,000
Paid in Compromise
Settlement.

Governor Cruce has ordered Attor.
ney General West to recover into the
state treasury the $4,000 now in the
hands of the former county attorneys
of Garfield county, Dan Huett and H.
G. McKeever. When this has been
done it will end a case that has many
peculiarities and about which there
has been much criticism.
This extraordinary action was taken
because Representative Childers Of
Garfield county in the legislature op-
posed bitterly a resolution in the house
of representatives commanding the
attorney general to compel by court
action the former county attorneys
to disgorge the $4,000 received by
Siem, by reason Of the fact that the
attorney general used their official
names In filing the custer action, from
the Waters-Pierce custer compromise
judgment of $75, 900 in 1910 Attorney
General West, Representative Child
ers and the former county attorneys,
Huett and McKeeVer, are fast friends,
and all hail from Garfield county. The
turn Of affairs is causing much COM
ment over the state,
The $4,000 compromise Judgment
was secured by the attorney general
in the Garfield county courts in an at
tempt to GUST the Waters-Pierce Oil
company and this Judgment was per-
mitted to be divided as follows: $4,000
to the state, $4,000 to Garfield county
and $4,000 to Huett and McKeever.
That portion of the judgment per-
mited to go to the former county at,
torneys by Attorney General West
was just recently declared by the
Oklahoma supreme court, in the case
of Board of County Commissioners OF
Garfield County VS.. Huett and Nc
Keever, to be public funds belonging
to the state of Oklahoma.

To Treat Roads as Single Line

Claiming that the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas railroad and the Wichita
Falls & Northwestern railroad are
under the same management and con-
troll, the state corporation commission
issued proposed order declaring that
in the assessment of proper freight
charges on orders issued by the com
mission naming two or more line rates
the two roads would be considered
and treated as two lines under the
same management, thus eliminating
the third-line charge.

Legislature Takes a Recess

The legislature took a recess satur
day afternoon to last until June 20,
Both houses wound up the work on
hand in deliberate and unhurried
fashion
Five matters Of Importance were left
on hand undisposed of, and went over
until after the recess. The general
appropriation bill, the revenue and
taxation bill, the road and highways
bill, the Bond-Dearing bill to require
certificate of health from would-be
bride-grooms, and the matter of con-
gressional redistricting make up the
list.

FARMERS NEAR WATONGA ARE BUILDING MANY sILOs

Up and down the Roman Nose can
yon and scattered over the prairies in
every direction from Watonga, Okla,
are large cattle ranches, stocked with
fine herds and equipped with silos con-
tanning precious feed in the form of
kafir silage, which is bringing fortunes
to stockmen and farmers. Blaine
county boasts more than 200 silos,
most of all metal and all of them
filled with nutritious kafir. The Roman
Nose country has been a cattle coun.
try from the first, but not until the
last few years have cattlemen engaged
in scientific stock raising suited to
special conditions that confront them
in their immediate vicinity. Today
farmers around Watonga, Blckford
and Roman Nose who have found for
tune in the cattle business, all because
they cast overheard obsolete methods.
They are no longer content to grass
their steers on native pasture. Instead,
they raise kafr and alfalfa crops and
feed Systematically, with the result
that where they were glad formerly to
increase steers weight 500 pounds
year, they now often double this
weight in the same period The new
order of things has Caught on" in
the Watonga district and sllos are be-
ing erected on almost every farm.
Some farmers have as many as FIVE
and six and on one of the ranches is

being erected what Is believed to be
the largest silo in the world, one Of
more than 600 tons. Where stockmen
formerly had to buy feed or sell their
steers when grass was short they now
start feeding their own silage and add
from two to three pounds to the
weight Of a steer daily.
Nearly all of the kafir raised In the
vicinity of Watonga is fed to stock.
Very little Of it is sold as grain. Farm
ers in that section have come to the
conclusion that the greatest profits in
the raising Of crops is in converting
them into beef, pork or mutton. Hence
Watonga has become an important
livestock shipping point on the Rock
Island Lines and farmers and stock
men alike are prospecting.
Make Steers Gain Five Pounds a Day,
With an average daily gain of from
three to five pounds weight per steer
from a systematic feeding OF kafir
silage and ground kaflr and with an
almost unlimited supply of succulent
and nutritious feed, thanks to the good
judgment which prompted the erection
OF five huge 250-ton silos on their $1,000
acre ranch near Watonga, Frank and
William Cronkhlte are reaping big re-
suits from a comparatively small in

TaIoga Ranchman Builds Two sIIos

G. A. Gerard, a ranchman residing
northwest of Taloga and who is widely
known for his application of advanced
methods in stock feeding, has made a
study of the silos, and decided to con.
struct two of his own. He dug two
silos in the bank Of his feeding pen,
each fourteen feet in diameter, which
he cased with cement. and thus, at a
cost Of less than 500, he has two good
silos having a combined capacity Of
l25 tons, he states, and he claims they
are better than the other kind.

under direction of Mr. p. Hammond,
himself owner of several ranches on
which he annually fattens herds Of
steers. 1t Is no uncommon sight to
see 1000 or more head Of fat animals
being fed for market on kaflr and milo
on the Cronkhite ranch. The ranch
men annually plant about 400 acres
and this year they intended to plant at
least 500 acres. Their average yield
in the last five years has been from 25
to 40 bushels an acre. They propose
to erect huge 600-ton silo near the
present battery of FIVE. All are Of the
metal type and have given satisfac-
ton.
Feeding 20 steers over a period of
80 days last year Mr.. Hammond found
them to have made an average daily
gain Of four to five pounds on a diet of
kafir silage, ground kafir and little
cotton seed meal. When placed in the
feeding pen the steers weighed about
1000 pounds each. They had been
carefully weighed before and after I'M
der Mr.. Hammond's supervision. An
other bunch of so averaging 900
pounds in weight were kept on diet
of nothing but kafr silage for So days,
and their daily average gain was more
than two pounds.
A ton of kahr silage is worth about
$4OO One ton fed to steers will make
10 pounds of beef, which will sell for
from $3.50 to $725 hundred pounds,

Experiments made on the Cronkhite

said Mr.. Hammond viii Cronkhite
told the writer that he has found a
silo will pay for itself the first time 1t
has been filled with kaflr and has been
fed to cattle. Farmers, he says, would
save at least so per cent Of feed stuff

lack of proper handling. On the Cronk.
