The Carter Company.

II. b. Moore ana c. D. Nelson, with
the Carter oil company have estab-
Hshcd headquarters in this city and
expect to rpmain here for some time.
The carter company is said to be
one OF the family Of subsidiaries Of
the Standard Oil company Of New
Jersey. II has made large purchase
in the northern portion of the state,
but this is the first entrance into
the southern portion of Oklahoma.
From the fact that headquarters for
the southern fields have been estab-
lished here it seems reasonable to
believe that the Carter company has
come to stay. II will be a great fac
tor in the development of the re
sources of this section of Oklahoma.

tory Of cholera epidemics is that they
extend along water courses faster
and further than in direction away
from streams. If sick hogs are al
lowed access to a stream, or if their
pens drain into stream of water
the disease is likely to appear at
any time on farms located lower
down the stream, where hogs have
access to the water. An uncontami-
mated water supply is necessity,
and whenever a stream becomes pol
luted with cholera infection, all hogs
should be fenced away from it and
watered from wells or other sour
ces."

THANKSGIVING DAY
AT CONFEDERATE HOME.
(Contributed)

Thanksgiving Day was most befit'
tingly observed at the Confederate
Home in this city by the noble old vet
Grams of the confederacy. whose cir
cumstances were such as to compel
them to take refuge there preparatory
to their departure for brighter and
happier home, where they can forever
rest upon the green sward under the
shade of the trees in Paradise, with
our Heavenly Father as their great
commander. Upon this occasion J. w.
Golledge and wife were honored guests
by invitation from Superintendent Har-
ris whom the veterans are loud in
praising for the splendid manner in
which the affairs of that great institu
tion are managed. There are now one
hundred occupants including many
wives and widows of the "Old Boys"
all OF whom were seated in the large
and spacious dining hall to partake
of one of the finest meals ever spread
before them. superintendent Harris
asked blessing, which was followed
by one of the most fervent and thank
ful prayers by Comrade Rush, in which
he extended thanks for the many bless.
ings bestowed, and showered thanks
upon the citizenship of Oklahoma for
the home provided for him and com
rades. which has proven an oasis in
the desert through which the remnant
of that army of southern heroes, fol-
lowers of the Stars and Bars upon so
many bloody battle fields, are now
travelling upon their last journey to
join their comrades as soldiers of the
cross, The prayer brought tears to
the eyes of the veterans and others
present
The dinner was partaken of with
relish, every one appearing to be
thankful 1t was a scene that made
lasting impression upon all present.
After dinner, music was rendered in
the parlor and stories and incidents
rccited by those who had participated
in the cruel war The institution un-
der the new management is in per
feet condition. and harmony among
its inmates prevails. All with whom
the writer conyersed, appeared to be
very much pleased with superintend-
eut Harris and his most estimable
wife.
Thanksgiving Day will long be re
membcred as most delightful occa-
sion at the Home. and every citizen
of Oklahoma should feel proud OF such
an institution. which would be cred
il to any state.

However, there is one thing that
should always be borne in mind
that is, hog cholera never exists
without the presence Of the specific
cause. The cause of hog cholera Is
an invisible organism that is found
in the blood and other fluids of the
body. The organism has not been
studied in the laboratory, and Is
known only by the effect it produces
when inoculated into healthy pigs.

ed from some other case of cholera
Oy some agency. Worms, acorns,
musty corn and many other things
usually thought to cause cholera,
have nothing to do with causing hog
cholera. They may cause unthrift-
mess and in this way make the hogs
more susceptible to the disease, but
they never start hog cholera.
"Of the various means OF spread
ing cholera, the infected hog is the
most dangerous factor. The period
of incubation is sufficiently long to
allow the introduction into the herd
of hogs that appear healthy at the
time but such stock may have been
exposed by other means. This is too
often the case with hogs that have
been on fair circuits or of recent pur'
chase from a breeder. The hog
may be healthy and free from in
fection when shipped, but express
cars, loading platforms, etc, may be-
come infected and hogs shipped un-
der these conditions may cause
trouble. After introducing such APP
parently healthy hogs into the herd,
the owner is much surprised in
eight or ten days to notice some
hogs off feed This is too often the
history of outbreak of cholera in
territory that had previously been
free from the disease. The only safe
plan to follow is to hold all new
purchases, as hogs that have been
on show circuits or that may have
been shipped from distant points, in
quarantine for twenty days before
allowing them the run of the farm.
Since the injecting agent of chol-
era is eliminated from the body by
the kidneys and bowels, it is easy
to understand how the infection be-
comes so plentiful in pens, railroad
yards, cars or in fact, in any place
where sick hogs have been. This
Infection can be carried from farm
to farm by people on their shoes,
by birds, dogs, on wagons.
or by running water. Too frequently
hogs lost from cholera are allowed
to decompose on top of the ground.
Such practice affords every OPP
for scattering the disease
to neighboring farms.
such practice will permit crows,
buzzards and dogs to feed on the
carcass, and they in turn may scat
ter the disease for miles. Water
draining from the infected pens be-
comes an active means of dissent

But she was not prepared for the i'm

threw himself down beside her and
grasped her hands in his His face
seemed suddenly old and haggard, his

He was very much in earnest, but
alas, the fire, the passion of the i'm

shrank back into the corner of the
couch, staring at him with puzzled
eyes. Comprehension was slow in ar
irving. AS he hurried on with his
plea she began to see clearly; her
sound, level brain grasped the insig-

his part.

her. Afterwards he realized and was
