The Oklahoma Constitu =
tion.
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.

to the fact tliut clcMiiIiiiess in the sta
ble nionns better uiiik anil couseiir.ent-
ly belter prices , and any arrangement
that v/iil help keep the inir. ; giver out
of the dirt should be of interest. 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

to take steps to wjird it off. Great in

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.
