land Withdrawn from settlement

Guthrie.-The Guthrie landoffice re-
ceived a message from Washington
ordering the withdrawal from settle
ment OF all fractional or other lands
which were ordered to be opened
about November LIST for settlement.
These lands are located in the old XII
owa, Comanche and Apache reserva-
ton and were first opened to settle
ment on August 6, 1901. Some tracts
lying in the Caddo country since have
been added until the entire area which
was to be opened amounted to an ag-
gregate of near 100 quarter sections.
In all there was not an entire 100
acres. All was In small fractions, some
of which contained less than an acre.
Many of the tracts we're narrow strips
of land along the line of some reserva-
ton where the boundary was not true
to the compass. Others were small
corners Of quarter sections, or even
forties, where stream cut away all
the tract except a very small corner.
All these tracts were isolated and
not in any way desirable as separate
entries and the owners of the ad-
Joining tracts were not permitted to
enter more than their one quarter Sec
ton. In fact, they were the odds and
ends of that great land opening made
at the above date. 1t is said that there
are about 1000 separate tracts lying
along the Washita and South Cimar-
ron rivers, many of them being moth
ing more than a pointed sandbar run.
ming out far into the dry river bed,
subject to overflow much of the time.
Most Of the narrow strips of land
lying near the reservation lines would
be desirable If the owners OF the ad-
joining claims could have secured
them. But as now situated they would
be almost worthless to any entryman
desiring, to exercise his rights as a
claim holder.

Because the legislature did not

to do the work, 1t is possible that no
material progress can be made in re-
funding overcharges of freight rates
to shippers, according to statement
of Chairman Jack Love of the corpor-
alton commission. Refunds approx

following orders issued by the COM

collect the money, figure up the

do this work, and the legislature pro-
vided no means to pay anyone. The
employees of the commission are busy
with other duties and have no time
to devote to the work necessary to
distribute this money. Small por-
tions may be sent out from time to
time, If the employees can get to 1t,

of six to eight pigs a year. He keeps
sows and pigs separate by turning the
sows into pasture in the morning and
keeping the pigs in. At noon he re-
turns the sows to the pens and lets
them run out again in the afternoon
till p. M, when he shuts them up
for the night with the pigs. When
the sows are turned out without the
pigs they do better, says Mr.. Engle,
because they do not have the pigs to
worry them, and the pigs likewise do
better because they get all the sleep
they need. At one month old he feeds
pigs a little slop mixed with shorts.
He also throws alfalfa hay into the
pens and the little pigs soon learn to
like it. One day Mr.. Engle simply
fails to return the mothers into the
pens where the little pigs are, and
neither of them will miss the other.
BY shutting off the slop and feeding
them day on corn, Mr.. Engle dries
up the sows.
Mr.. Engle has substantial house
Tor the sows and pigs, divided into
pens by s feet, with fenced lots of
the same size. There are ten pens and
the house is IS by so feet. Everything

10 by 10 feet, in which he hogs take
a bath. Creosote dip is constantly
kept in the water and it removes lice
and other injurious pests. The hogs
are not allowed to wallow in mud and
the water in the cement pool is
changed twice week.
"a hog does not need a mud wal
low" said Mr.. Engle, "and keep mine
as clean as my horses, and they do
better because Of it. A pure bred hog

every time. Nobody should waste

LOST ONE HOG OUT OF HIS 5000
AND THAT LONE PIGGIE WAS
KICKED BY A MULE.
C, L. Enele, Ell Reno Banker Fed 5000
Pounds of Slack Coal to 60 Hogs
In Six Weeks To Stop Cholera.

Five thousand hogs and only one to
die That is the record made by C. L.
Engle, cashier of the Citizens Ma
tional Bank of Ell Reno. Last winter
Mr.. Engle fed about $50 head, all

they could be had. About two car
loads are kept in his feeding lots all

pounds and turning them over to the
packing plants when they weigh 200
pounds. He says by feeding it to
hogs, Accent corn is made TO bring 81
a bushel.
Thousands of pounds of slack coal
are fed to his hogs to keep them in
healthy condition. Mr.. Engle showed
the writer his receipts for coal for six
weeks, during which he fed 5000
pounds of slack coal to so head of
hogs. "They eat it just like corn"

Mr., Engle is a firm believer in vac
cination for hog cholera. He advocates
the simultaneous" treatment. At a
month old, he says 1t only costs him
10 to % cents a head to vaccinate
hogs. He says there is by far more
trouble in Oklahoma with worms than
with cholera as a hog disease and he
therefore urges the liberal feeding Of
slack coal.
Mr.. Engle feeds his brood sows
plenty of alfalfa hay all winter and
lets them run on alfalfa pasture all
summer and fall. He has wheat and
rye pastures for them during the win
ter and he feeds corn lightly and alter
mates with ground kafr, which he con-
siders the equal of corn. After farTow-
ing, he does not feed slop to the sows
till the pigs are three days old, and
he never feeds slop to pregnant sows.

PRICES OF BROOMS TO Be HIGHER
Shortage Of Crop in Oklahoma viii
Cause Increase in the Price
of Brush

That Oklahoma, which produces
two-thirds of the broom corn used
in the United States, will not have
more than half crop this year, is
the opinion expressed by E. ]. Critics,
an Oklahoma City broom manufac.
turer, who has just returned from a
trip through the broom corn country
of northwestern Oklahoma. Some of
the buyers have put the figure as low
as 80 per cent, but Mr.. Critics con.
siders that that is probably too low.
AS a result of this condition, broom
prices are already on the advance
and housewives will probably hold
on to all Of their old brooms which
still have few sweeps left in them.
An advance of so cents a dozen has
already been announced here. East.
ern manufacturers have advanced
their prices rs cents and in some
cases 81 per dozen and still further
advances are to be expected If the
price of broom corn continues to go
up, and there is nothing to keep it
from going in that direction.
Prices in the broom corn district
are showing a steady advance, with
probably an average of 500 per ton
at the present time for brush of
medium quality. The poorer grades
are selling as low as $50 while some
of the more fancy stuff has brought
as high as $3.50 per ton.
Oklahoma's production last year
was conservatively estimated at 49,.
900 tons. This year there will not
be more than 10000 tons at the
outside. Oklahoma and western Kan.
sas always furnish the great bulk OF
the broom corn supply and that is the
section where the damage from heat
and drouth has been greatest. New
Mexico will have some good stun but
the brush is short and the yield great.
ly reduced. Illinois has also been
hurt by the dry weather and all in
dications are that the product will
reach record price this year.
