BIG JIT SYSTEM
TO COME HERE?

Will a big street railway company
with headquarters in the east, install
a jitney bus system in Tulsa?
1t was rumored here yesterday that
such a move is contemplated The
concern in question is owner Of the
Muskogee Traction company, which
recently took off all of its street cars
save two and began operating iitney
system, equipped with specially con-
structed "busses' with a seating ca
pacity equal to street cars.
This same concern, whose main Of
flee is in Philadelphia, is contemplat-
ing getting into the jitney game in
other cities, it is said, and Tulsa is to
be one of them. They are putting
out jitney bus almost as big as the
ordinary street car. No franchise
would be required for a jitney line in
Tulsa and no investment, save the cost
of the automobiles and the nominal
license fee charged by the city.

START TRAINING BULL EARLY
inserting Nose Ring Is Simple and
Short operation-Composition
Metal Does Not Rust.

A bulls training must be started
early. A light weight ring should be
inserted in his nose when he is from
nine to twelve months old, but under
no circumstances should he be led by
the ring until three or four months
after so that the nose can heal up
we'll.
Inserting the nose ring is a simple
and short operation when properly
done. First tie the bull securely to a
post by the head and horns, then take
common trocar and cannula, we'll
sterilized, and push it through the
thinnest part of the membrane that
separates the nostrils, withdraw the
trocar leaving the cannula in the open
ing. Put one end of the opened ring
in the pointed end of the cannula and
then carefully withdraw cannula,
which brings the ring into the open
ing and after closing ring and putting
in the screw, the job is done. Before
the operation, the ring should be eX-

FEED CALVES IN STANCHIONS
Discouraees Desire to Suck One An
others Ears-Wooden Device Is
Entirely Satisfactory.

There are several good reasons for
feeding calves in stanchions. The
calves can be fed their milk, then
their grain, and after they have eaten
the grain they will lose their desire
to suck one another's ears. A
stanchion made of wood will be entire
ly satisfactory. 1t should be made
from to 31a feet high and Is to "a
inches from center to center, with the
neck space to inches wide. 1t is
built in the same manner as the old
style rigid stanchion. The calf should
be fastened while eating, but loosened
from the stanchions after it, has eaten
it's grain The calf pens and stanchions
should be built in the south side of the
barn, where plenty of sunshine ard
light can be had. There is no disin-
fectant that will take the place of
sunshine.

PROPER TOOLS FOR DAIRYlNG
Profitable mpIements-SiIo Is
Regarded as Essential.

1t is impossible to give a specific
answer to the question as to what tools
a dairyman should possess. Much de-
ponds upon mans pocketbook and
the possibility of his changing work
with neighbors to get the use Of their
tools, and upon labor conditions in
general. For instance, manure
spreader is one of the most profitable
implements for a farmer with any
amount of dressing to distribute. Yet
it is possible to handle the manure in
the old way if a man simply cannot
buy a spreader.
If you are dairying you ought to
have a silo, and that means silage
cutter and an engine, unless you can
arrange with a neighbor to do the
work. If you raise potatoes in any
quantity a planter, sprayer, and sure
ly a digger, will perform TIE work
most economically. Yet it is possible
to get along without these. OF course,
you would not expect to compete very
successfully with growers who have
such improved machinery. This class
of tools is in use only portion of the
year, and it ties up your capital to your
disadvantage if you have but little to
begin with. There are certain things
that every farmer is expected to have,
such as wagons, plows, harrows, now
ing machine, hayrake, etc.

amount Of these articles consumed is
not recorded.
The two lots received the same treat
nent except that lot 2 was given all
he skim milk they would eat in addi-
ton to the grain ration.
The test was continued for eight
weeks Lot l consumed 1898 pounds
n grain, and the average weekly gain
per chick was 1852 ounces. Lot 2 con.
5nmcd 2173 pounds of grain and 90.4
Ounds of skim milk, and the average
weekly gain per chick was 4.46 ounces.
The conclusion drawn was to the ef-
feet that the use of the milk was very
profitable, as it aided in the digestion
Of the other foods, resulting in in
creased consumption and faster
growth.
This test was duplicated during the
summer with practically identical re-
suits, and we may assume that skim
milk, whenever available, is especially
valuable for growing chicks.

In the
East and the
West
BY H. M. ERT

Copyright 1915, by W. G. Chapman.)
Its never Will Thorpe!"
That you, jimmy"
The two men gazed at each other
in half Incredibly. Then:
How you've changed, Will" ex,
claimed the easterner.
81 guess I'm wearing clothes that
wouldn't have cared to be seen in at
Harvard or in Boston" said Will
Thorpe, smiling at his friend.
q don't mean that" answered jim
my. fremont. "It's-its-well, don't
know just what it Isl"
viii Thorpe thought about his
friends words that evening when he
was alone in his cabin on the noun
tainside Had he changed during his
three years in the West, beyond the
mere physical appearance? He was
inclined to think he had. Certainly
his tastes seemed to have altered in
many ways.
viii Thorpe had been sent West
three years before. He had been an
idler and eXtravagant; at last his ia.
Their, who had always dealt with the
boy rather harshly, refused to assist
him further unless he entered his iron
foundry and settled down. Angry
words had arisen, and in the end Will
had packed his suitcase and gone
West with a hundred dollars in his
pockets.
His sweetheart, Marion Vansittart,
had scolded him for his decision. She
had reminded him, petulantly, that she
could neither marry poor man nor
wait for ever He had kissed her and
told her that he would return with his
fortune made, And for a few months
she had written. Then her letters be.

they ceased altogether.
1t was more than two years since
he had heard from her. And gradual,
ly the new life had woven itself about
him, and he had ceased to care.
Then he had received a mysterious

amined and all rough edges carefully
filed down so there is nothing to irri-
tate the nose and keep it raw and
bleeding.
When the animal is about two to
two and One-half years old, the light
ring should be removed and a good
heavy ring inserted. Iron rings should
not be used as they rust and keep the
bulls nose raw and sore. The best
are made Of brass or bronze compost
ton metal and do not rust. =
In tying up the bull by the nose,
one should be careful to avoid fright
ening him, causing him to jump back
and slit the ring out of his nose. 1t
is safest to pass the tie chain through
the nose ring and then up and around
his horns and when he jerks back most
of the strain comes on the horns and
not at the nose. ..Ass.. "

can stand on the road, ruts will re-
suit and whom these are ground down
dust forms and finally loose roadbed
results.
Keeping the roadbed we'll crowned
and smooth will hold the moisture in
it so that it will pack hard,
Weeds must also be kept several
feet from the wheeltrack else they
will draw the moisture from the road
bed and thus loosen it up; this is
especially true in regions Of moderate
rainfall.
Trees should not be allowed to,
shade the road as this keeps it too
moist on the surface after rains so
that travel spoils the surface.
The making of a smooth roadbed
requires that when the soil is put on,
it be laid in layers and not in piles.
When dumped in piles some places
will be more packed than others and
there will likely BE a difference in the
density, while if laid on in layers this

be narrowed, or better yet, disked and
packed before the next one is laid
down. In this way good roadbed is
secured from the first, while if the
soil is just dumped on the road to be
leveled and packed by the traffic over
the road a good roadbed will never be
secured
The best tool for keeping the road
well crowned and the surface smooth
is the splitlog drag. This tool should
be used soon after rain. The soil
is then loose and easily moved. The
drag moves but small amounts Of soil
and smears it on the rOadbed in thin
layers which is just what is wanted.
1t cuts off any projections and fills
up any low places
Where there is standing water the
roadbed should be kept at least
foot above the water surface and
eighteen inches is better The nature
of the soil and the length of time that
the water stands along the road will
to degree determine how high the
roadbed must be above the water.
In dryfarming territory it is i'm
portant to keep the weeds away from
the roadbed and to keep the roadbed
well crowned and smooth.

he had really changed. How could he

him?
He thought of Norma Gale. the
daughter of the old homesteader
down the valley. How was he to tell
her? The girl, educated and refined
as were all the people of the district,
was utterly unpresentable in the sort
of society in which he had moved.

FREE POULTRY FROM VERMIN
Lousy Chicks or Turkeys Are More
Apt to Be Affected With Gapes
or Some Other Ailment.

Chicks are growing fast these days
and lice are also making rapid growth.
The most essential thing at this sea-
son is to keep young poultry free from
lice. They cannot thrive with vermin
sapping their strength, and lousy
chicks or turkeys are more likely to
be affected with gapes, or some other
ailmeht.
In locking for lice examine the lit
tie wings and around the vent. Be-
tween the long wing feathers of the
little Leghorn chick or young turkey
is a favorite hiding place for lice where
they sap the life from the little birds
until they haven't enough strength to
hold up their wings. For head lice
on chicks, or the ticks that prey on
young turkeys look upon the neck,
pushing back the feathers carefully
until you reach the top of the head.
A little pure lard or sweet oil on the
head, neck and wings and around the
vent may be used to advantage, but
too much will kill the lice and chicks

EARTH'S MOST COSTLY GEMS
They Are the Superb Black opals,
Which Are Found Only in One
Desolate Spot.

American women were greatly ex-
cited over the magnificent show Of
black opals which the Australian gov
eminent sent to the Panama eXposi-
ton.
These exquisite gems, which were
practically unknown up till compare
lively recently, cost more, carat for
carat, than do diamonds even, while
experts declare that they are superbly
beautiful.
And in this connection it may be
pointed out that the term black OPAL
is distinctly misleading. 1t was coined
to distinguish it from the familiar
light opal" AS matter Of fact the
black opal is alive with myriad shades
of flaming splendor, from brightest
tints of green glowing fire to meteOric
gold or lavender, that in an instant
quivers to crimson, or slips into mol

early part of the tenth century, but
is first mentioned as the chief fortified
town of the Lithuanians in 1928. 1t
was the nucleus about which the great
Lithuanian power grew, and a capital
in which the ancient religious service
was continued until the end of the
fourteenth century. The god Perkunas
was housed here in a splendid temple
and protected his people in their
swamp and woodland until the temple
was destroyed rutklesSly in 1887 by
Prince Jagiello after his conversion
and baptism.
Wars, plague and destructive fires
have played havoc with the citys
prosperity and growth. 1t was nearly
ruined altogether in the seventeenth
century, during the struggle between
Russia and Poland. Russia finally
took possession of the city in 1895,
after Polands partition The Poles
of Wilma aided the uprisings against
their Russian overlords in 1881 and in
1868, and bitter punishment was ad-
ministered for this by the cars gov
eminent. The native Russian element
in the city is small. 1t is estimated
that mort than so per cent of the
population is Jewish, while the Lithu-
anians and Poles make up the greatest
part of the remainder.
Something About Kovno.
Kovno, the key to the railway sys-
TEN of northwest ern Russia, is the
central fortress in the Russian north
western chain of frontier strongholds.
1t stands at the confluence of the Me
men and the Viliya rivers, east of
central East Prussia. Petrograd lies
$50 miles by railroad to the northwest,
while behind Kovno, and between this
fortress and Petrograd the Russian
plain is strewn as thickly with lakes
as fallow meadow lands are with July
and August daisies. Mitau, Kovno,
Grodno and Lemberg lie nearly in the
same line, north and south.
The railway from Eydtkuhnen, East
Prussia, to wilma runs through Kovno,
and at its terminus joins the trunkline
between Warsaw and Petrograd. Kov'
no is a fortress of the first class, and
has been considerably strengthened in
recent years. It's main defense con-
! sists of girdle Of II forts. surround
ing the town in an arc with radius
of about two and one-half miles. The
fork of the river junction is an import
ant feature of the city's strength. Here
it is guarded by three forts in the
direction of Wilma, one of which com.
mands the Wilma bridge. The fortress
is 55 miles from the East Prussian
border.

Kovno has shared in the expansion
caused by the demands of the present
generation of Russians for a home in
dustry of sufficient development to
hasten the supply of the young nation
with the material element of modern
civilization. 1t has developed several
important metal industries, and has
large factories producing nails, wire,
barbed wire and machines. 1t has also
developed a large commission bust
ness, and was an important entrepot
for timber, cereals, fax, flour, spirits,
fish, coal and building stone, products
of trade between western Russia and
Prussia. 1t has population of about
$4,000. Kovno was founded in the
eleventh century, and, between 1884
and 1898, it was a possession of the
Teutonic Knights.
