Oklahoma.  Blaine  County.  December.— The 
seeding  of  the  first  crop  of  wheat  ever  seeded  In  this 
new  country  Is  just  finished,  occupying  a  little  over 
two  months.  It  Is  possible  a  little  may  be  sown  yet, 
as  In  older  Oklahoma  some  was  sown  last  year  as  late 
as  February  7.  In  this  newer  portion  there  will 
be  sufficient  forage  for  stock,  though  but  little  grain 
was  raised,  as  planting  was  necessarily  very  late. 
Stock  with  a  range  on  Mesquite  and  Gama  grasses 
are  doing  well,  but  where  Bunch  grass  predomi¬ 
nates  the  animals  have  to  be  fed.  In  the  older 
portion,  wheat  and  oats  were  very  heavy  crops, 
and  are  likely  to  be  staple  crops  here.  Band  Is  all 
occupied  In  this  county,  and  claims  sell  for  from  $200 
to  $2,000.  Wheat  43c.,  corn  25c. ;  good  cattle  bring  fair 
prices,  but  horses  are  very  low.  as  the  Indians  have 
a  cheap  grade  that  supplies  the  demand,  j.  w.  R. 
ARKANSAS,  PULASKI  COUNTY,  NOVEMBER  28.— 
Farmers  are  In  the  midst  of  the  cotton  harvest  and 
nothing  like  a  half  crop  on  all  the  overflowed  lands 
will  be  gathered.  Enough  bolls  to  make  two-thirds 
of  a  crop,  but  so  much  of  the  growing  season  had 
passed  before  planting,  that  the  crop  has  not  matured 
and  the  bolls,  Instead  of  opening,  are  rotting.  The 
weather  through  the  summer  was  too  wet  and  cool 
for  both  cotton  and  sweet  potatoes.  The  receipts  of 
cotton  at  the  places  of  delivery  are  not  more  than 
one-third  of  what  they  were  at  this  time  last  year, 
and  the  merchants  say  that  trade  has  not  been  so 
dull  In  a  great  many  years,  and  the  privations  and 
suffering  of  the  renters  will  be  very  great.  Many  of 
them  have  abandoned  their  crops  and  are  already 
suffering  for  their  dally  food  and  clothing,  and  as 
nothing  will  be  done  on  the  farms  before  March  1. 
there  must  necessarily  be  great  suffering  among  the 
laboring  classes.  What  Is  true  of  the  great  shortage 
In  cotton  Is  also  true  of  the  sweet  potato  crop.  The 
large  growers  found  not  half  a  crop  even  where 
planted  on  upland  and  early  In  the  season,  wm.  p.  t.

•  1,000,000  Tired  Ont  People 
,  re  thinking  to-day  that  all  they  need  to  make  them 
feel  well  Is  “a  little  rest.”  It  Is  true  that  the  rest 
cure  Is  often  the  best  cure,  but  It  Is  also  true  that  a 
great  many  people  cannot  afford  to  rest  Indefinitely. 
Worse  still,  the  very  knowledge  that  they  cannot 
afford  it,  seriously  Interferes  with  the  best  use  of  the 
rest  they  have.  Too  often  going  to  the  doctor  means 
that  the  patient  shall  stop  short,  while  cares,  duties 
and  expenses  keep  right  on.  It  Is  highly  desirable  then 
that  some  treatment  be  found  for  this  numerous 
class— something  that  will  interfere  neither  with  their 
business,  or  pleasure.  In  this  respect  nothing  in  the 
world  can  compare  with  Drs.  Starkey  &  Palen’s  Com¬ 
pound  Oxvgen.  For  more  than  20  years  this  well- 
known  agent  has  made  multitudes  of  run-down, 
over-worked,  nervous  and  sick  people  as  good  as 
new,  and  that  at  thelrlown  homes  and  occupations. 
From  the  60,000  cases  which  they  have  carefully  re¬ 
corded  they  can  give  you  lncontestible  proof,  doubt¬ 
less  In  your  own  neighborhood.  If  in  need  of  better 
health,  write  them.  That  is  better  than  “rainbow¬ 
chasing”  after  rest  which  never  comes.  Drs.  Star- 
key  &  Palen,  1529  Arch  St.,  Philadelphia,  or  Chi¬ 
cago,  San  Francisco,  New  York,  and  Toronto,  Ont. —

CREAMERY  AND  FACTORY. 
Pork  prices  are  well  maintained  in  our  market. 
Hothouse  tomatoes  are  retailing  for  $t  per  pound. 
Lady  apples,  though  small  In  size,  sell  for  a  large 
price. 
Good  table  pears  are  selling  well,  but  are  not  very 
plentiful. 
Choice  table  appleB  retail  for  nearly  as  much  as 
the  best  oranges. 
Foreign  potatoes  are  now  sold  In  the  New  York 
market  at  auction. 
New  California  figs  sell  from  the  hucksters'  wagons 
for  10  cents  per  pound. 
The  hop  market  shows  a  better  tone,  though  there 
Is  little  change  in  prices. 
The  Christmas  season  Is  not  only  a  merry  one,  but 
a  busy  time  for  the  marketman. 
It  is  estimated  that  Wayne  County,  N.  Y.,  received 
$1,000,000  for  her  apple  crop  this  year. 
Hothouse  grapes  are  extremely  slow  of  sale,  and 
most  of  the  arrivals  are  of  Inferior  quality. 
The  general  tendency  of  prices  Is  downward  In 
most  of  the  horse  markets  of  the  country. 
Send  perishable  products  so  that  they  will  reach 
the  market  as  early  In  the  week  as  possible. 
Save  the  wing  and  tall  feathers  from  the  turkeys. 
They  are  largely  used  In  making  dusters,  etc. 
Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  fresh-laid  eggs  are 
scarce,  prices  are  quoted  lower  than  last  week. 
Lettuces  from  the  hothouses  run  mostly  to  too 
small  sizes  to  satisfy  the  demands  of  the  market. 
lted  bananas  from  Cuba  are  In  market  now.  and 
sell  for  about  50  per  cent  more  than  the  yellow  ones. 
California  strawberries  are  in  market,  and  sell  for

The  mushroom  market  Is  dull,  prices  ranging  from 
30  to  65  cents  per  pound,  wholesale,  according  to 
quality. 
Lower  prices  for  hogs  and  pork  products  seem  Im¬ 
probable  In  view  of  the  shortage  In  the  number  in 
the  country  at  large. 
About  the  only  scarce  article  In  the  poultry  line  Is 
prime  turkeys.  These  are  probably  being  held  back 
for  the  holiday  trade. 
From  the  wheat-growing  regions  of  the  Northwest 
the  reports  are  that  winter  wheat  entered  the  winter 
In  fairly  good  condition. 
Hothouse  lambs  will  be  In  market  for  Christmas, 
and  the  first  arrivals  will  bring  what  ordinary  people 
would  call  extravagant  prices. 
Game  of  all  kinds  Is  plentiful,  with  the  exception 
of  venison.  This  is  out  of  season,  according  to  the 
antiquated  game  laws  of  this  State. 
The  first  capons  of  this  year’s  vintage  are  on  the 
market  stands,  but  they  are  not  bringing  the  extrav¬ 
agant  prices  we  sometimes  read  of. 
The  orange  market  has  got  Into  a  bad  state,  owing 
to  the  large  quantities  of  Inferior,  poorly  assorted  or 
dishonestly  packed  fruit  recently  sent. 
Persimmons  from  Florida  are  offered,  but  there 
seems  to  be  a  limited  demand  for  them,  mainly  be¬ 
cause  people  are  not  accustomed  to  them. 
One  of  the  fancy  fruit  stores  reports  an  order  for 
four  baskets,  small  ones,  too,  of  the  most  expensive 
fruits  to  be  found  In  market,  at  $50  per  basket. 
How’s  that  for  fruit  ?  And  how  much  of  that  $50  goes 
to  the  growers  ? 
Corn  growers  are  reported  as  marketing  very  little 
corn.  The  crop  was  short,  and  much  of  It  poor,  and 
this,  with  the  high  price  of  hogs,  has  a  tendency  to 
keep  the  corn  at  home.  The  crop  generally  is  re¬ 
ported  as  being  about  all  secured. 
During  the  week  ending  December  3.  the  New  York 
Health  Department  examined  2,482  specimens  of 
milk,  and  destroyed  60  quarts.  Ten  specimens  were 
examined,  of  which  four  were  found  to  be  watered, 
one  skimmed,  four  both  skimmed  and  watered,  and 
only  one  normal.  In  view  of  these  facts,  it  would 
seem  that  the  number  of  quarts  destroyed  was  alto¬ 
gether  too  small,

Men  will  offer  you  a  fence  “  as  good  as  the  Page  ”

robust  men  jump  on  a  two-rod  panel.  If  there  Is  no
