NOTHING TO IT

Just after we finished running off
the paper last week a cheerful party
remarked "Well, the paper is out.
You can take it easy for a few
days, can't you?" Yep. Nothing
at ali to no. Alb. LOOT-ly nothing.
Once the paper is printed all any ed
itor has to do is to sit around watch
ing the little bills come due. and
gently shaking this money bush until
enough dollars drop off to pay those,
these or them bills. When the editor
is not running off the paper his favor
ite pastime is to racline on q divan
smoking fine favored Clora de Lima
Cigar, and watching the subscribers
struggling with each other to get on
his list and pay the furthest in ad-
vance. If he becomes long waved,
he puts out his cigar, slips it in his
pocket and saunters, nonchalantly
down the boulevard Main, just to
hear the merchants clamor for ad
ditional space as with tears in their
eyes they dog his footsteps. And
the way the news hunts up the editor
is pleasant to contemplate. When
the paper is out the editor goes to his
desk, leans back in his chair louks
wise and waits till the day before next
press day, when the people line up
in front of his Office and then file past
bis desk and tell him all the news OF
the week. He writes it up n fifteen
minutes and hangs it on the hook.
The compositors shake the copy over
the cases, say few mystic words
Hnd types flies into place and after d
few passes by the foreman the forms
are ready for the press again and the
editor goes down and deposits some
money in the bank. It's the great
est snap in the catalogue. Now if the
editor cou d only do away with press
days his joy would be complete. -

MULCH FOR THE STRAWBERRY
Protection Is Afforded Both Plants
and Fruit-ShouId Be Applied in
Fall Before Frost.

(By c. W. RAPP. Department of Horti'
culture. Oklahoma A. and M. College.
Stillwater.)
Mulches are one of the most I'M
portant factors in successful straw
berry culture. for by their use protec-
ton is given to both plants and fruit.
The straw mulch. which is most fire.
quently used. should be applied late
in the fall. preferably before frost.
When applied at this time it serves as
q protection throughout the entire
winter. Its use largely prevents tho
heaving which is s noticeable in
many patches. The mulch also holds
much water, with the result that the
patch is better able to withstand the
dry summer weather. During the
spring the mulch protects the berries
from dirt, which is dashed upon them
by the rains II the ground is bare. II
the spring Is late. in the home garden
the mulch may be raked over the
| plants to protect the blossoms and
fruit from frosts.
After the berries are picked the
mulch should be washed into the soil
Where this is done. much humus and
plant food is added with the result
that greater yields may be expected.

New Trial For Oscar Norman.

Justice Stevens of the Supreme Court
has handed down an opinion covering
the appeal of Oscar Norman. a white
man, from Pontotoc County, from a
conviction OF murder and sentence to
life Imprisonment, sustaining the con-
tention of appellant as to certain testi-
mony in his behalf which had been
excluded by the court. The appellant
was indicted for murder, after killing
the marshal of the town Of Pontotoc, in
a row which seems to have had its out
growth over a row about a certain no
torious woman Of the vicinity. Some
evidence offered by the efense to sus-
tain the contention that the killing OF
| Marshall Cree was provoked by the ac'
lions and manner of the deceased was
no allowed to go before the jury. This
was held to have been an error. and
sufficient to justify a reversal! and
new trial.

STORAGE FOR SWEET POTATO
Keeping Qualities Depend Upon Va
riety Grown and Upon Methods Of
Handling at Digging Time.

The keeping qualities of the sweet
potato depend upon the variety grown,
the type of soil in which 1t was grown.
and the methods of handling at dig
ging time. Clay soils on which high
ly heterogeneous fertilizer has been used
will produce rough, cracked potatoes.
Such potatoes are generally poor
keepers. A pool sandy soil will pro
duce small, we'll matured smooth. IN.
cracked potatoes. Such potatoes are
usually good keepers.
Too much care cannot be spent In
digging the potato. II carelessiy dug
and handled the potatoes become
bruised, hence they very easily rot.
When digging it is best first to cut
the vines. preferably with a vine cut
ter, and then run under the potatoes
with a regular sweet potato digger.
The diggers are similar to a pillow but
have fingers attached to a short mold
board. After digging, the plants or
hills should be lifted and laid carefully
in ,iles, after which they can be
picked off by hand. This method will
prevent a lot of needless handling and
bruising. When the potatoes are shak
en- of in heaps, Or are picked and
pitched to a heap Oh into a basket
they are badly bruised and skinned
and when in this state are in a very
favorable condition to rot Before be
ing placed in storage they should bt
allowed to dry out as much as posi-
Bile.
The successful keeping OF swee
potatoes depends on the followini
principles:
/. Harvest potatoes before the!
are frosted. .
2. Don't bruise them. handle as III
tie as possible when digging.
3. Throw out all cracked and bro
ken potatoes.
4. Dry out as much as possible b.

the time pastures dry up. a spring

and by the time she is put on dry

production has generally fallen off so

will see to it that they get plenty Of

When skim milk is fed to young
pigs, they should be started on it
gradually and it should always be
fed with a little meal and other feed.
The natural feed for hogs is not
liquids, but solids. therefore we can

they can fatten hogs on Stops alone.

HAIRY VETCH FOR PASTURES
When Seeded In Fall It Furnishes
Good Grazing During Winter and
in the Early Spring.

The persistent character of hairy
vetch In the soils of many Of the
southern states makes 1t worthy of
consideration Of a pasture plant.
When seeded early in the fall with
oats It will furnish good grazing dur
ing the winter and early spring and af-
forwards produce a good crop of hay.
The few cases in which it has been
tried in permanent pastures have been
sufi GENTLY successful to encourage
further trials.
