There is nothing in the least fur- prising in the fact that the rail road interests should be bitterly > opposed to the admission of Okla homa into the sisterhood of states under the proposed constitution. Neither is it surprising that cor poration statesmen are engaged in a plot to keep Oklahoma out unless she gets her a new consti tution. It would be mightily sur prising , though , if they succeeded in persuading President Roosevelt to loan himself to their plot , not withstanding that Oklahoma , as a state would mean seven more elec toral votes against the republican candidate for president next fall. The Oklahoma constitution is a progressive instrument. It pro hibits suspension of the writ of habeas corpus ; it estops the courcs from denying the state the right to engage in any business for public purposes ; it provides for the initiative and referendum ; it compels railroads , express , tele graph and telephone companies to interchange services ; it makes railroad rolling stock personal property subject to execution ; it has an anti-pass provision , a pro vision for 2-cent fares , a provision forbidding corporation contribu tions to campaign funds and an eight-hour day provision ; it con tains , in brief , a great many pro visions which , though they have been regarded radical , are meet ing with an increasing degree of popular approval in a great many places besides Oklahoma. The people of Oklahoma are en titled to come into the union un der any kind of a constitution they want , provided only it does not conflict with the constitution of the United States and that it does provide for a republican form of government. If the provisions above noted conflict with the federal C9nstitution then a large number of states are not enforcing consti tutional laws. ] f they are unre- repablican , then a good share of the union has become republican. Truth is they are neither uncon stitutional nor republican. For the most part they are both wise andjust. . And it will be a sad day for the republican party if it makes any serious attempt to'shut Oklahoma out-of thf .statehood to which she is so I'lniiritly entitled to' , merely because -ne proposes ib cb'm'e in as a democratic state and with a democratic constitu tion. Dead wood Daily Telegram. Breeder and Feeder. In a conversation with J. M. Moifett , of the Elmdale stock breeding farm , Stan wood , Iowa , who is .here wijth some registered Short Horn stulf , wehave gained some ideas of such vast import ance to our cattle industry that we feel ita , duty we owe our cattle men to impart them. The most important of these , it seems to us , is that of closer re lationship between the eastern breeder and the western range man who depends on the Iowa and Illinois feeder for a source through which to dispose of their feeders. The interests of the two are identical. Both profit largely by breeding up low grade stuff tea a point that will enable the east ern feeder to pay the range man a better price for his feeder and at % the same time make a geater profit for himself. Rangecattle that are crossed with pure blood can be prepared for the market on much less grain than low grade cattle and the feeder can and will' ' divide that saving with the range man. But this gain at both ends can be greatly enhanced by direct dealing between the two. Millions of dollars have been paid to the middle-men of Sioux City , Omaha and other river points which today ought to be in the hands of the feeders at one end and the range i men at the other , When the western cattleman goes to Omaha and deals with the commission man for breeding stuff he is rob bing himself and enriching the middle-man ; when the eastern feeder comes to Omaha to get feeders through which to send his corn to market he simply pays \ the profit which ought to go to the range man , to the commission men. Direct dealing between the two ends will increase the income of both to exactly the amount it en riches the middle-man to whom both are giving something for nothing. Strayed or Stolen.

The illustration shows a stall that a writer in the Prairie Fanner claims will keep a cow perfectly clean. It is construct ed as follows : Use a 2 byi for bottom of feed rack. I'lace this three feet from lloor to stall. Use 1 by 4 strips placed about six inches apar-t formius the rack. Tlie strips shouKl slope back ffli h-fif wyyi rot ; about sity decrees. Plato a 2 byi ! on e lge from feven to eiht ; feet from front of stall on t-ie llocr , depj.uding on of cow. Fasten the 2 byi down to floor , if sot 5i f.k't , with a rood sized stake. If liocr is made of planlc. nail a block to floor , then spike the 2 by 4 to Mocks. The cow when eating will staixl with her hind feet just boh mil the 2 by 4. leaving the droppings behiivl it. When F he lies down she will be compelled to lie in front of the 2 by 4. with her head timter the feed rack. It is not neces- ntry to have a gutter ii a stall of this kind. There should be short partitions , however , to keep the cows from turn ing around. Testing the Dairy Herd. Records of the performances of dairy cows form the ony ! accurate and safe bafcis for .iudgiu their value. It is the constant aim of pro-resrive dairy men to improve their herds , and such improvement must depend largely upon culling tlie nerd and getting rid of the unprofit able animals. From the breed ers' standpoint records are espe cially valuable in assisting in finding' custom ers for their stock. Many buyers insist on seeing records of dairy per formance before purchasing. A record is alPO - PO of great help to the feeder. If he knows exact ly what a cow is doing he can prepare the ra tion accordingly ftCI1 iltlu ° SCALE FOR TESTING.iltlu more economic ally. Again , a daily milk record en ables a dairyman to detect the approach preach of sickness in a cow and thus to take steps to wjird it off. Great in spiration b obtained from keeping M record , am1 nothing trivcs a dniryniajj ir.ore satisfaction th-in watching th improved returns from his herd.

Thfe "Sccc" Cow In fie Herd. In every lu rd of cows thciv i3 some one of the number that lake * tlia inhi- ative. She is the first one to load the rest through a fence into a cultivated field. If there is a gate.In t'ae yard which has been left partly latched slio will 1-e sure to find it and lead the herd into tlio garden or down the road. To say the le ° .st , this kind of a cow is a constant origtiniiPV Qf trouble , and it seems to be her pjoasur-p tp do any thing but chew her cud nml produce a good mess of milk In the dairy. Where a cow with an unruly nature is only an ordinary producer she will fill a much better place In the beef barrel than in the dairy herd. This Is a profitable and quick manner of getting rid of a constant source of aggravation in the herd. . . ' - . - - - . - - - Ccol the Milk Quickly. Too much care cannot be * exercised to cool the milk quickly and keep it cool , as cleanliness and cold are tha two main factors in the production of milk that will keep sweet for any rea sonable time. Add to this a healthy herd of cows and healthy attendants and we have a summary , pf the neces sary requisites for the production and care of clean milk. Weather Data.
