Herb FARMING.

The growing of medicinal herbs is
very considerable industry in Eng

Surrey. Suffolk, Hertfordshire, and
Norfolk there are many large herb
farms. Among the herbs chiefly
grown are rue, NORWOOD, comfrey,
horehound, peppermint, rosemary, and
lavender. The English oils Of laven-

A member of the Confederate camp
replied that the Confederates donated
large sums of money to Battle Abbey
and that they would have some voice
in the management of the property,
Mr.. Ellyson responded somewhat holly
that the Confederates did not con-
tribute anything like the total amount
required to erect the building AMI

Southern state gave as much to the
cause as was contributed by President
McKinley's cabinet This assertion

New Orleans are already organizing

Problem Properly Handled.

There are several evils of business
that the people and their government
are resolved to ban by laws that will
punish heavily those who wilfully traf-
fic in those evils. But in striving to
reach the guilty it is essential to pro-
tect the innocent from unjust and I'M
necessary punishment, and it is equally
essential that the business of the coun-
try should not be fettered.
Here in the rough is the problem
that our president and his party must
engage, and upon their wisdom and
justice in dealing with 1t will depend
the judgment of them that the country
will record at the elections in 1914 and
1916.
That the president realizes all this is

DESTITUTE IN NEW YORK CITY
There Has Been Big Increase During
Recent Months In Demands
for Charity.

There is more poverty and destitu-
ton in New York now than in the last
40 years, according to reports re-
ceived by the Charity Organization
society, says the New York World.
Never before in its history has the
society been called upon to help so
many families. A few days ago 1t had
2,7S1 families In its care, an increase
of 54S over the same season last year.
During February, 1914, 1t helped 1913
families, an increase of 642 over Feb
ruary, 1912.
Each month since last October, l"
said w. Frank Persons, director of the
society's general work, I'VE have cared
for rs to 80 per cent more families
than the year before. The snowstorm
has brought us families who ordi'
narily would not have to ask for help.
They have been able to withstand
hard times for weeks, but the pressure
now has become too great.
I'VE expect to have for the next
month an increasing number Of such
families as apply for aid. Indications
are that there will be much suffering
from throat and lung diseases, as is
always the case when the snow begins
to melt. This will affect day laborers

Note that these two sows brought

months and 29 days. These two sows
are all the hogs Harmed has owned, so
it is not a record of two from large

This is further evidence that the

one pound of kafircorn seed to the

three-fourths of pound to the acre

acre will give stand enough to require
all of the moisture likely to be avail

ENID BREAKS ALL HER RECORDS
10000 DOZEN EGGS SHIPPED IN
ONE WEEK.
Fifteen Cars Needed to Haul Away
Seven Days Crop Of Precious
Hen Fruit.

Fifteen carloads Of eggs, or 10000
dozen, is the number shipped out OF
Enid during the six days from Febru-
airy 20 to March inclusive. Enid for
the past year has been recognized as
the biggest poultry and egg market
west of the Mississippi but the ship
ment for this one week is the heaviest
ever made, and indicates the opening
of the spring season of heavy ship
ments as well as storage.
The price of eggs on March was
just &c dozen higher than on the
same date in 1918, and this despite the
competition with imported eggs under
the new tariff. and weather conditions
which have been much more favorable
this year than last. In the opinion OF
Manager bort of the Aaron Produce
Company, the importation of eggs to
the United States from other coun.
tries will not affect the price of the
domestic article to an appreciable ex-
tent.
The Enid market at present is one
OF the highest in the country and it is
said that the entire year farmers in
Garfield county receive more for their
produce than do the farmers of Iowa
or any of the northern states. Live
poultry is selling at 13c pound on the
Enid market, and only tic pound in
New York.
Another industry has been added to
Ends list during the past few weeks
with the opening of the big creamery
in the new Swift G. Co. building. Re-
ceiving cream from sixty-five stations
in Oklahoma and Texas, the Enid
creamery is now shipping a carload OF
butter about every fifth day, and the
production will increase as the farmers
of Garfield county become accustomed
to the new market opened to them at
this point.

VACCINATION OF HOGS A SUCCESS
Cordell Commercial Club Furnishes
Pigs for a Demonstration.

At Cordell, Washita county, during
the two days silo school in November,
there was given a public demonstra-
ton of the method of giving the double
or simultaneous treatment for hog
cholera. By this treatment the hog is
supposed to become not only safe from
an outbreak of cholera but becomes
immune from the disease.
On this occasion the commercial
club of Cordell bought two pigs weigh
ing nearly hundred pounds. These
pigs received the treatment and were
at once placed in pen where hogs
were dying with the cholera, They
slept for two nights with the carcass
OF one of the dead ones. All of the
hogs on the farm died, but these two
pigs lived and showed no effects Of
their exposure to the disease. 1t is
now more than three months since
they were vaccinated and the last &C.
count we had of them. which was the
tenth of January, they were doing fine.
